And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.

Und dein Haus werde wie das Haus des Perez, den Thamar dem Juda gebar, von dem Samen, den dir der HERR geben wird von dieser Dirne.
Y de la simiente que Jehová te diere de aquesta moza, sea tu casa como la casa de Phares, al que parió Thamar a Judá.
Puisse la postérité que l'Eternel te donnera par cette jeune femme rendre ta maison semblable à la maison de Pérets, qui fut enfanté à Juda par Tamar!
E della progenie, che il Signore ti darà di cotesta giovane, sia la casa tua come la casa di Fares, il quale Tamar partorì a Giuda
E seja a tua casa como a casa de Perez (que Tamar deu à luz a Judá), pela descendência que o SENHOR te der desta moça.
願耶和華從這年輕女子賜你後裔,使你的家像 她瑪 從 猶大 所生 法勒斯 的家一樣。」
