2 Samuel 13

1 Chuin David chapa Absalom chun sopi numei hoi tah khat aneiyin, amin chu Tamar akiti; hiti chun phat chomkhat jouvin David chapa Ammonin Tamar chu ahin deicha lheh tan ahi.

And it came to pass, after this, that, Absolom, son of David, having a beautiful sister, whose name, was Tamar, Amnon son of David loved her.

2 Amnon chun Tamar chu adeicha lheh jeng tan ahileh hinkho man ding dan jong ahethei tapon, hichun achainan Tamar adeichat behset jeh in adam mo lotan ahi; Ijeh inem itileh Tamar chu nungah thengsel ahina laiyin, chule Amnon in amanu chu kachan joulou ding hitam tin alungin agel tan ahi.

And it so troubled Amnon, that he made himself ill on account of Tamar his sister, for, a virgin, was she, and it was monstrous in Amnon’s own eyes, to do, anything, unto her.

3 Ahivangin Amnon hin kilopi loi lungthim suhto je themtah khat anei in, amin jong Jonadab akiti; amapa hi David loipa Shimea chapa ahi.

But, Amnon, had a friend, whose name, was Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, —and, Jonadab, was a very cunning man.

4 Nikhat Jonadab in Amnon koma aseiyin, “Ipi bola lengpa chapa jingkah seh le mi-ngol ho um banga umjing nahim? Ipi ham nabuina?” atileh; Amnon in jong asei peh tai, “Keiman kasopi pa Absalom naonu Tamar khu kadei chat jeh ahi,” tin aphong doh tan ahi.

So he said to him, —Why art thou looking so wretched—a king’s son too—morning by morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, With Tamar, my brother Absolom’s sister, am I in love.

5 Chuphat’in Jonadab chun aphai, “keiman epi nabol ding naseipih nange ati. Nungchin lang Nalupna a khun lumin lang kinat lhem sah in. Napa chu nangma ve dinga ahung tengleh napa koma hitin seiyin, Tamar chu ahunga nangma dia an neh themkhat nahung bolpih din thum'in. chule aman namitmu a akhut tah a nahung vah'a ahileh nangma naol chom din jong seipih tan ati.”

And Jonadab said unto him: Take to thy bed, and feign thyself ill, —and, when thy father cometh in to see thee, then shalt thou say unto him—I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, that she may give me food, and let her prepare, before mine eyes, some delicacy, to the end that I may see [it made], and so eat at her hand.

6 Hichun Amnon in jong asei bang bang chun alup nah a alumin akinat lhem sah tai. chuin lengpa chu ave din ahungtan ahileh Amnon chun lengpa koma chun asei tai,” Lungset tah in kanaonu Tamar chu neihin solpeh inlang keima mitmun kadutah khat nehding eihung sempih hen, chutile ken ama khutsoh mong mong chu nenge,” ati tai.

So Amnon took to his bed, and feigned himself ill, —and, when the king came in to see him, Amnon said unto the king—I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make ready before mine eyes a couple of cakes, that I may eat at her hand.

7 Hijeh chun David jong anom in Tamar chu Amnon’s in a agachi a anneh ding them khat agasem peh din asol tan ahi.

So David sent unto Tamar, in the house—saying, —Come, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and prepare him enticing food.

8 Chuphat’in Tamar jong Amnon in'a achen alhun phat in, alupna lang a ache lut tai. Hichun changboi goina alan changbong agoiyin, Amnon mitmu tah in changlhah chu asem’in akan peh tai.

And Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, he having taken to his bed, —and took dough and kneaded it, and folded it before his eyes, and baked the cakes.

9 Ahin amanun akhangbel sunga a changlhah kansa chu Amnon ang sunga agathah lutpeh vang'in amapan ane deh tapon ahi. Hichun Amnon’in asohte kommah aseiyin, “Kakoma konin nabon un potdoh'un,” ati. Hijeh chun abonchao vin ama koma konin apotdoh soh kei tau’ve.

Then took she the pan and put them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said—Have forth every one from me. And they went out every one from him.

10 Chutah chun Amnon in Tamar koma asei in, “Tun an neh ding chu kalupna langah hinchoilut inlang chule neinehsah tan ati. Hichun Tamar injong anehh ding chu achoilut pih tan ahi.

Then said Amnon unto Tamar—Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat out of thine own hand. So Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them in to Amnon her brother, in the chamber.

11 Ahin amanun anehsah jing lai chun, amapan ahintuh chah kheh in chule athumtan ahi, “Hungin neihung luppin kalungset kanaonu,” tin.

And, when she brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come lie with me, my sister!

12 Chuin Tamar chu akap in “Ahipoi he-u, ngol hih in! hitabang pihi kema kom ah bolhih beh in! hitobang ngol hoitah thil hi Israel chate lah a kibol ngai lou ahi, ati.

But she said to him—Nay! my brother, do not force me, for it should not be done so in Israel, —do not commit this vileness.

13 Chule keiman hoilam a jum kathoh ngam ding ham? chule nang jong Israel chate lah a michavai mi-ngol khat mong mong nahi ding hita chume. Hijeh a chu katao tho ahi, lengpa koma neiki thumle chun aman jong nang ding beh a chu ajah da louhel ding ahi nai,” ati.

And, I,—whither could I take my reproach? Thou, too, wouldest be as one of the vile fellows, in Israel. Now, therefore, speak, I pray thee, unto the king, for he would not withhold me from thee.

14 Ahin Amnon chun amanu thusei chu a ngaipeh tapon, amanu sanga athahat joh jeh chun pum hat’in aluppi tai.

But he would not hearken unto her voice, —and, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

15 Chuin hetman louvin Amnon’s lungset nachu muda najoh ahungsoh tan, chule amuda dan chu masanga adei chat na sang in akhoh jo tai ahi. Hijeh chun Amnon chun akoma hitin asei tai, “Kithou doh loiyin lang pot doh loiyin,” tin asol doh loitan ahi.

Then did Amnon hate her with a very great hatred, for, greater, was the hatred wherewith he hated her, than the love wherewith he had loved her, —so Amnon said to her—Rise—begone!

16 Chuin Tamar’in kap pummin aseiyin, “Ahipoi he-u, hitobang thildih louva neisol doh loi hi neibol masat na sanga khoh cheh jo ahi,” ativangin Amnonin angai peh deh tapon ahi.

But she said to him—No occasion for this greater wrong, after what thou hast done with me, to put me away! Nevertheless he would not hearken unto her;

17 Chujouvin Amnon in alhacha ho akouvin thu apetan ahi, “Hiche nu hi kamasang a konin sol doh loiyun lang anunga kotpichu kamloi un” ati.

but called his young man who waited on him, and said—I pray you, put forth this woman from me, outside, —and bolt the door after her.

18 Hitichun Amnon lhachahon Tamar chu asoldoh loiyun anunga kotpi akamden tan ahi. Tamar chun sangkhol chol hoitah aki-ah ahi; ajeh chu chuchi laikhanga chon nadan dungjui a leng chanu nu-ngah theng hochu hitobanga chu ana kivonji mongu ahiye.

Now she had upon her a long tunic, for, so, used king’s daughters to apparel themselves, when they were virgins, in robes. And his attendant took her forth, outside, and bolted the door, after her.

19 Ahinlah tun Tamar in asang khol chol chu abot tel’in chule alu jangah vutvam akiloi tan ahi. chuin akhut chu amai ah akoi in, o thong je jun akap’in achi mangtan ahi.

And Tamar put ashes upon her head, and, the long tunic that was upon her, she rent, —and put her hand upon her head, and went her way, crying out as she went.

20 Hichun A-upa Absalom in ana dong in “Na sopipa Amnon chun naum khompi hiteiyin te ong? hijongle tun thipchat in umtan, ajeh chu ama jong na-upa ahi bouve. chule athilbol hi nalungthim a chinda tan,” ati. Hijeh chun Tamar jong a-upa Absalom in’a chun lung genthei tah in acheng den tan ahi.

And Absolom her brother said unto her—Hath, Amnon thy brother, been with thee? Now, therefore, my sister, hold thy peace—thy brother, he is, do not lay to thy heart, this thing. But Tamar remained, and was desolate in the house of Absolom her brother.

21 Chuin David lengpan hitobang thilsoh ho hi ajah doh phat’in alung hang lheh jeng tan ahi.

And, King David, heard all these things, —and it angered him greatly.

22 Chule Absalom in hitabong thilsoh hi Amnon koma aseidoh lou vang'in Amnon chu nasatah in avetda lheh jeng tan ahi ajeh chu anaonu chunga athilbol aumchan jeh chu ahi. Absalom’s in Amnon Chunga Phu Alah

And Absolom spake not with Amnon, either bad or good, —though Absolom hated Amnon, because he had forced Tamar his sister.

23 Hitichun kumni jouvin Absalom chun Ephriam kom a Baal-hazor khoa kelngoi mul avou in, Chule Absalom chun leng chapate jouse chu abonchan golvah a chun akou soh kei in ahi.

And it came to pass, after two years of days, that Absolom had, sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephron, —and Absolom invited all the king’s sons.

24 Hichun Absalom jong lengpa henga achin hitin agaseiye, “ka kelngomul vou hon tunna atong un, hijeh chun lengpa le asoh te jouse jong lungset tah a nahung uva hiche nikho hi keitoh neihung man khompi diu ham? tin agasei tai.

Absolom came also unto the king, and said, See, I pray thee, thy servant hath, sheepshearers, —I pray thee, let the king and his servants go with thy servant.

25 Ahivang in lengpan Absalom adonbut’in, “Ahipoi kacha, kabon uva kahung uleh nang dinga khanlel kahi diu ahi ati. Ahinla Absalom in aha tem cheh jeng in ahi, hiche jong hin David chu ache deh poi, Absalom chu aphat thei na aboh jeng vang'in.

And the king said unto Absolom—Nay! my son, do not, I pray thee, let us all go, lest we be burdensome upon thee. And, though he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him.

26 Chuphat’in Absalomin aphai khutia nang nahung thei lou ding leh eti nagel em kanaopa Amnon hinsol ding chu? Chuin lengpan ahin donbut in, epi jeh a Amnon hungding? ati.

Then said Absolom, If not, then, I pray thee, let Amnon my brother go with us. And the king said unto him, Wherefore should he go with thee?

27 Ahin Absalomin asei kit in Amnon le leng chapate aboncha solpeh ding lengpa anup masang in angeh ngeh jenge tan ahi. ajeh chu Absalom kigutnahi lengte jaona dia kilomtah a kingon abol ahi.

And Absolom urged him, —so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.

28 Chujou in Absalom chun asoh teho chu thu asei peh masat in, “Amnon chu lengpi twi ahung kham ve-lhi jing jenguvin lang, keiman najah-uva, ‘Amnon chu jep’uvin tia kahin sei tengle that jeng uvin, kicha hih hel’uvin. Ajeh chu keiman thu kapeh louva nabol u ham? Hangsan tah le thanei tah in pang uvin,” tin asei peh tai.

Now Absolom had commanded his young men, saying—Mark, I pray you, when the heart of Amnon is merry with wine, and I say unto you—Smite ye Amnon, then shall ye put him to death, do not fear, —have not, I myself, commanded you? Be bold, and show yourselves to be sons of valour.

29 Hijeh chun Absalom soh ten jong Absalom in athupeh bang bang uvin Amnon chu athat taovin ahi. Chuin lengpa chapate adangho se abonchan akipat’uvin asakol pol cheh chunga atou doh soh keiyuvin ajam gamtauve.

So Absolom’s young men did to Amnon as Absolom had commanded. Then arose all the king’s sons, and rode away—each man on his mule, and fled.

30 Hichun amaho lamkim lah Jerusalem ahung gei uvin David henga thu ahung kithang lut masan, “Absalomin lengpa chapate jouse athat game, khat’a khat cha jong ahing hoi ta poi,” tin ahung ki sei e.

And it came to pass, while, they, were yet on the road, that, the report, reached David, saying, —Absolom hath smitten all the king’s sons, and there is not left of them, one.

31 Chutah chun lengpa jong akipat doh paiyin aponsil jouse abottel’in tollhanga akijam tai; chuin akoma ding alhacha jousen jong tijat jeh le lungkham jeh in aponsil akibotel soh kei tao vin ahi.

And the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the ground, —and all his servants who stood by rent their garments.

32 Chuin David golpa Shimea chapa Jonadab chu David kom ahung in hitin asei e, “Ahipoi tahsan hih beh in, lengpa chapate ho jouse aboncha atha ahi sam poi, Amnon chang seh kithat ahibouve; ijeh-inem itileh Absalomin hichebol ding hi masanga pet Amnonin anaonu Tamar pum hat san a abolset nikho’a pat a chu gonsa anakoi ahitai.

Then responded Jonadab son of Shimeah David’s brother, and said—Let not my lord say that they have put, all the young men—the king’s sons, to death; for, Amnon alone, is dead; for, by the bidding of Absolom, was it appointed, from the day that he forced Tamar his sister.

33 Ahipoi, kapu lengpa nachapate abonchauva thigam ahi poi! Amnon sehbou thi ahi,” ati.

Now, therefore, let not my lord the king lay to his heart such a thing—to say, All the king’s sons, are dead, —but, Amnon alone, is dead.

34 Hichephat tah chun Absalom chu ajam mang tai; chuin Jerusalem a mive lhia pangpa chun akho dah in agah vet’a ahileh, vetan, Horonaim molsang pang langa chun mihem tamtah ahung kijot’uvin ahi. tin lengpa seipih din alhai tan ahi.

Now Absolom had fled. And the young man that was watching lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! much people, coming on the road behind him, on the mountain-side.

35 Hichun Jonadab chun lengpa jaah ven! Tun leng chapate khu ahung tauve; nalhachapa keiman kasei peh bang in ahung taove,” ati peh e.

So Jonadab said unto the king, Lo! the king’s sons, are come, —according to the word of thy servant, so hath it come to pass.

36 Chule Jonadab chun thu asei jou jouvin, vetan, lengpa chapate chu ahung lhung pai tauvin, chuin apeng jah’uvin akap cheh tauvin ahileh, lengpa le alhacha ho jong abonchauvin lhase tah-in akap soh kei uve.

And so it was, as he made an end of speaking, that lo! the king’s sons, came, and lifted up their voice and wept, —the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceeding great weeping.

37 Chuin David in nisotpi achapa Amnon pul adouvin ahi. Absalom vang chu apupa Geshur lengpa Ammihud chapa Talmai koma ajam tan ahi.

But, Absolom, had fled, and had taken his journey unto Talmai son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David the king mourned for his son continually,

38 Hitichun Absalom Geshur gamah kumthum sungin aga um tan ahi.

But, Absolom, had fled, and had taken his journey to Geshur, —and it came to pass that he was there three years.

39 Chule tun leng David injong Amnon thi chung changa kicham na nei a, achapa Absalom toh kithah gopkhom kit ding chu angaicha lheh tan ahi.

And the spirit of the king pined to go forth unto Absolom, —for he had consoled himself over Amnon, in that he was dead.
