And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.

Da legte sie die Witwenkleider von sich, die sie trug, deckte sich mit einem Mantel und verhüllte sich und setzte sich vor das Tor von Enaim an dem Wege gen Thimnath; denn sie sah, daß Sela war groß geworden, und sie ward ihm nicht zum Weibe gegeben.
Entonces quitó ella de sobre sí los vestidos de su viudez, y cubriose con un velo, y arrebozose, y se puso a la puerta de las aguas que están junto al camino de Timnath; porque veía que había crecido Sela, y ella no era dada a él por mujer.
Entonces se quitó la ropa de su viudez, se cubrió con un velo y, así envuelta, se sentó a la entrada de Enaim, junto al camino de Timnat. Había visto que Sela ya había crecido, pero ella no le había sido dada por esposa.
Alors elle ôta ses habits de veuve, elle se couvrit d'un voile et s'enveloppa, et elle s'assit à l'entrée d'Enaïm, sur le chemin de Thimna; car elle voyait que Schéla était devenu grand, et qu'elle ne lui était point donnée pour femme.
Allora ella si levò d’addosso gli abiti suoi vedovili, e si coperse di un velo, e se ne turò il viso, e si pose a sedere alla porta di Enaim, ch’è in sulla strada, traendo verso Timna; perciocchè vedeva che Sela era divenuto grande, e pure ella non gli era data per moglie.
Então ela tirou de sobre si os vestidos da sua viuvez e cobriu-se com o véu, e envolveu-se, e assentou-se à entrada das duas fontes que estão no caminho de Timna, porque via que Selá já era grande, e ela não lhe fora dada por mulher.
