2 Sa:miuele 13
1 Da: ibidi egefe A: basalome da uda a: fini elafi ea dio amo Da: ima esalu. Da: ibidi egefe eno amo A: manone da ema bagade magesa: i ba: i.
David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.
2 E da ema bagadedafa mageseiba: le, olosu. Bai e da amo a: fini lamu da hamedei agoane ba: i. Da: ima da dunu hame dawa: digiba: le, dunuma gousa: mu da hamedei agoane ba: i.
He wanted [to have sex with] [EUP] his half-sister very much, with the result that he made himself sick [thinking about her all the time]. But it was not possible for Amnon to get her, because she was a virgin, [so they kept men away from her].
3 Be A: manone ea sama da sia: fusulasu dunu ea dio amo Yonada: be (Da: ibidi eya Sia: ma amo egefe).
But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.
4 Yonada: be da A: manone ema amane sia: i, “Di da hina bagade egefe! Be eso huluane na di da: i dioiwane esalebe ba: sa. Adi baiga agoane hamobela: ?” A: manone da bu adole i, “Na da Da: ima, na ola A: basalome ea dalusi ema bagadewane magedaha.”
[One day] Jonadab said to Amnon, “You are the king’s son, but every day I see that [RHQ] you seem very depressed/sad. What is your problem?” Amnon replied, “I (am in love/want to sleep) [EUP] with Tamar, my half-brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 Yonada: be da A: manonema amane sia: i, “Di ogogolewane oloiyale hamoma. Dia ada da di ba: la masea, ema amane sia: ma, `Dafawane! Na dalusi Da: ima ea nama ha: i manu ia misa: ne sia: ma. Na da hisu amo ha: i manu hahamone, nama ia misa: ne hanai gala.’”
Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend that you are sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Allow my half-sister Tamar to come and give me some food to eat. She can prepare the food while I am watching her. Then she can serve it to me herself.’”
6 Amaiba: le, A:manone da ogogole oloiyale hamone, golala asi. Hina bagade Da: ibidi da e ba: la manoba, e da Da: ibidima amane sia: i. “Su! Dafawane! Na dalusi Da: ima nama ha: i manu ia misa: ne sia: ma. Na da hisu amo falaua ga: gi afae afae amo hamone, nama ima: ne hanai gala.”
So Amnon lay down, and pretended that he was sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “[I am sick; ] please allow my half-sister Tamar to come and make a couple scones/dumplings for me while I am watching, and then she can serve them to me.”
7 Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da Da: ima hina bagade diasua esalu, ema amane sia: sia: si, “Dia A: manone ea diasuga asili, igili moma: ne ha: i manu hamoma.”
So David sent a message to Tamar in the palace, saying “Amnon [is sick and he wants you to] go to his house and prepare some food for him.”
8 Da: ima da A: manone ea diasuga asili ba: loba, e da dialebe ba: i. A: manone da Da: ima ema ba: lobawane, e da falaua ga: gini egegei. Amalalu, e da amo ga: gi egegei amo lidili momagei.
So Tamar went to Amnon’s house, where he was lying in bed. She took some dough and kneaded it, and formed it into some scones/dumplings while he was watching her. Then she baked them.
9 E da A: manone moma: ne egegele ga: gi amo yaeya da: iya gugudili sali. Be e da amo hame mai. Be e amane sia: i, “Dunu huluane ga masa: ne sia: ma!” Amalalu, eno dunu huluane da fisili asi.
She took them out of the pan and put them [on a plate] in front of him, but he refused to eat them. Then he said to everyone else in the room, “All the rest of you, leave me now!” So all the others left his [room].
10 Amalalu, e da Da: ima ema amane sia: i, “Falaua ga: gi amo na dia heda: sua guda: gaguli misini, disu amo nama ima!” Da: ima da falaua ga: gi lale, ema asi.
Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room and serve it to me.” So Tamar took into his room the scones/dumplings that she had made.
11 E da falaua ga: gi ema ianoba, e da Da: ima gagulaligili, ema amane sia: i, “Guda: misa, ani gilisili golala: di.”
But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”
12 Da: ima da amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Na da amo wadela: i gogosiasu bagade hou hamoma: ne, na mae logema! Amo da wadela: idafa!
She replied, “No, do not force me to do such a disgraceful thing! We never do things like that in Israel! That would be awful/terrible!
13 Amane hamosea, na da gogosiabeba: le, na dialuma fili sa: ili, bu molole gadomu hamedei ba: mu! Di amola! Di da Isala: ili soge ganodini gogosia: i dagoi ba: mu amola dunu huluane di higamu. Na dafawane dima sia: sa! Hina bagadema adole ba: ma! E da dafawane na digili lama: ne imunu.”
As for me, if I did that, I would not be able to [RHQ] endure being disgraced by having done that. And as for you, everyone in Israel would condemn you for having done such a disgraceful deed. So I plead with you, talk to the king. I am sure that he will allow me to marry you.”
14 Be e da ea sia: hame nabi. Amola ea gasa da ea gasa baligiba: le, e da Da: ima gagulaligili, e gahea hiougi.
But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.
15 Amalalu, A:manone da Da: ima ema oso dogone bagadewane higasu. Ema higasu hou da ea musa: ema magesei hou amo baligidafa. E da Da: imama amane higale sia: i, “Gadili masa!”
Then Amnon hated her very much. He hated her much more than he had desired her. He said to her, “Get up and get out of here!”
16 Da: ima da amane sia: i, “Hame mabu! Di da amanewane na gadili sefasisia, amo da wali hamoi wadela: i hou amo bagadewane baligimu.” Be A: manone da ea sia: hame nabi.
But she said to him, “No! It would be very wrong for you to send me away. It would be worse than what you just did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
17 E da ea hawa: hamosu dunu misa: ne wele sia: ne, ema amane sia: i, “Na da amo uda mae ba: ma: ne, gadili asunasima! E gadili ha: digima amola bu mae misa: ne logo ga: ma!”
He summoned his personal servant and said to him, “Take this woman outside, away from me, and lock the door [so that she cannot come in again]!”
18 A: manone ea hawa: hamosu dunu da Da: ima gaguli gadili sefasilalu logo ga: si. Da: ima da abula sedade na: na: wei amo ga: i. Amo esoha, hina bagade ea idiwi dunuga hame lai, ilia da agoai abula salawane esalu.
So the servant put her outside and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with long sleeves, which was the clothing that was usually worn by the unmarried daughters of the king at that time.
19 Da: ima da ea dialuma da: iya nasubu duduli gala: le, ea abula gadelai. Ea odagi loboga dofoga: le, digini asi.
But Tamar tore the long robe that she was wearing, and put ashes on her head [to show that she was very sad]. Then she put her hands on her head [to show that she was grieving], and she went away, crying.
20 Ea ola A: basalome da e ba: loba, amane adole ba: i, “A: manone da dima se iabela: ? Na dalusi! Bagadewane mae dawa: ma! E da dia dialifidafa esala. Amaiba: le, dunu enoma mae adoma.” Amaiba: le, Da: ima da da: i dione amola olobo seda asili, A:basalome ea diasuga esalu.
Her brother Absalom [saw her and] said to her, “Has your half-brother Amnon [DOU] forced you to have sex with him [EUP]? Please, my sister, do not tell anyone, and do not become depressed/sad.” So Tamar went to live in Absalom’s house, and she was very sad and lonely.
21 Hina bagade Da: ibidi da amo hamobe nababeba: le, ougi bagadedafa ba: i.
When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.
22 Amola A: basalome da A: manone ea dalusi gahea hiougi dagoi dawa: beba: le, e bagade higabeba: le, ema da sia: hamedafa sia: dasu.
And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.
23 Ode aduna gidigilalu, A:basalome ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia Ba: iele Ha: iso sogega (Ifala: ime moilai gadenene) ea sibi hinabo dadamusa: esalu. A: basalome da amoga hina bagade egefelali huluane misa: ne hiougi.
Two years later, Absalom’s servants were shearing sheep at Baal-Hazor, which is near [a town named] Ephraim. [When they finished shearing the sheep, they celebrated], and Absalom invited all the king’s sons [to come and celebrate].
24 E da hina bagade Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Hina noga: idafa! Na hawa: hamosu dunu da na sibi ilia hinabo dadamunana. Di amola dia eagene ouligisu dunu amo lolo nabema misunu da defea. Misa!”
Absalom went to the king and said to him, “Sir, my servants have been shearing my sheep. Please come with your officials [to celebrate] with us!”
25 Hina bagade da bu adole i, “Hame mabu, nagofe! Ninia huluane ahoasea, di da gasa bagade ba: mu.” A: basalome da Da: ibidi misa: ne gebewane mae yolele sia: nanu, be Da: ibidi da hame misunu sia: i. Amalalu, e da A: basalome fisili masa: ne sia: i.
But the king replied, “No, my son, it would not be good for all of us to go, because it would cause you to do a lot of work and spend a lot of money for food.” Absalom continued urging him, but the king would not go. Instead, he said that he hoped/desired that God would bless them [while they celebrated].
26 Be A: basalome da amane sia: i, “Defea! Be di hame masea, naeya A: manone misa: ne logo doasima.” Hina bagade da bu adole i, “E da abuliba: le masa: bela: ?”
Then Absalom said, “If you will not go, please allow my half-brother Amnon to go with us.” But the king replied, “Why [do you want] him to go with you?”
27 Be A: basalome da mae yolesili gebewane sia: nanu, amaiba: le Da: ibidi da A: manone amola egefelali huluane masunu da defea sia: i. A: basalome da ha: i nasu amo hina bagade ea manu defele ba: i, amo hahamoi.
But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.
28 E da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia noga: le ba: ma! A: manone da adini baligili na dagoi galea, na da dilima sia: sea, e fane legema. Mae gigiluma! Na da amo nisu hamoi fawane sia: mu. Mae gigiluli, gasa fili, hedolo fama.”
[So they all went. And at the celebration], Absalom commanded his servants, “Notice when Amnon has become a bit drunk from the wine. Then when I signal to you, kill him. Do not be afraid; you will be doing this [only] because I told you [RHQ] to do it. So be courageous and do it!”
29 Amaiba: le, A:basalome ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da ea sia: i defele, A:manone fane legei. Da: ibidi egefelali eno huluane da ilia `miule’ (dougi agoai) amo da: iya fila heda: le, hobea: i.
So Absalom’s servants did what Absalom told them to do. [They killed Amnon]. All the rest of David’s sons [saw what happened and] fled, riding on their mules.
30 Ilia da ilia diasua buhagimusa: , logoga ahoanoba, Da: ibidi da amane sia: nabi, “A: basalome da dia egefe huluane amo fane lelegei dagoi - afae esalebe hame ba: sa.”
While they were on their way home, someone [went quickly and] reported to David, “Absalom has killed all of your other sons; none of them is still alive!”
31 Hina bagade da se bagadedafa nababeba: le, wa: legadole, ea abula gadelale, hi osoboga gala: la sa: i. Hawa: hamosu dunu amola e da ili gilisili esalu, da ilia abula amola gadelai.
The king stood up, tore his clothes [because he was extremely sad], and then he threw himself down on the ground. All the servants who were there also tore their clothes.
32 Be Yonada: be (Da: ibidi ea ola Sia: ma amo egefe) da amane sia: i, “Hina noga: idafa! Ilia da dia mano huluanedafa hame fane legei. A: manone e fawane da bogoi dagoi. Ninia da A: basalome ea odagi ba: beba: le, e da amo esoha ganodini A: manone da ea dalusi Da: ima gahea hiougi, amoga e da A: manone fane legemusa: ilegei, amo ninia da dawa: i.
But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “Your Majesty, [I am sure that] they have not killed all your sons. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead, because Absalom has determined to do this ever since the day that Amnon raped [EUP] his half-sister Tamar.
33 Amaiba: le, sia: amo da diagofelali huluane da fane legei dagoi, amo sia: dafawaneyale mae dawa: ma. A: manone, e fawane da fane legei dagoi.”
So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”
34 Amo galuwane, A:basalome da hobea: i dagoi ba: i. Amola amogaluwane, dadi gagui dunu amo da sosodo aligisa esalu, e da ba: loba, dunu gilisi bagade, logo amo da Holona: ime moilaiga masu, amoga agoloba: le gudu dalebe ba: i. E da hina bagade ema asili, ea ba: i liligi ema olelei.
In the meantime, Absalom ran away. Just then, the soldier/sentry [who was standing on the city wall] saw a large crowd of people coming down the hill along the road from Horonaim. [He ran and told the king what he had seen].
35 Yonada: be da Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Na sia: i defele, diagofelali da manebe goea!”
Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”
36 E da amane sia: na: noba, Da: ibidi egefelali da golili sa: i. Ilia da muni dibiba: le, Da: ibidi amola ea eagene ouligisu dunu huluane da ha: giwane didigia: i.
And as soon as he said that, David’s sons came in. They all started crying, and David and all his officials also cried very much.
But Absalom had fled. He went to stay with the king of [the] Geshur [region], who was Talmai the son of Ammihud. Absalom stayed there for three years. David mourned for his son Amnon for a long time,
38 A: basalome da hobeale, Gisie hina bagade Da: lama: i (A: mihade egefe) ema asili, ode udiana ele ouesalu. Da: ibidi da eso bagohame eagofe A: manoneha asigiba: le, heawini dinanusu.
39 Be e da A: manoneha dinanusu yolesiagaloba, e da bu A: basalomeha fofagisu.
but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
