2 Samuel 13

1 Bangʼ kinde moko, Amnon wuod Daudi nochako gombo Tamar, nyako ma jaber mane nyamin Abisalom wuod Daudi.

Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

2 Chuny Amnon ne chandore mobedo matuo nikech wach nyamin-gi Tamar, nimar ne en nyako ngili, kuom mano ne tek mondo otim kode gimoro.

And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

3 Koro Amnon ne nigi osiepne miluongo ni Jonadab wuod Shimea, ma owadgi Daudi. Jonadab ne en ngʼat ma riekone richo.

But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.

4 Nopenjo Amnon niya, “Yaye wuod ruoth, angʼo momiyo inenori mokuyo pile ka pile? Ok diwachna gima timi?” Amnon nodwoke niya, “Ahero Tamar ma nyamin owadwa Abisalom.”

And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

5 Jonadab nowachone niya, “Dhiyo inind e kitanda ka iwuondri ni ituo. Ka wuonu obiro neni, to wachne ni, ‘Daher mondo nyamera ma Tamar obi omiya gimoro acham. Yie mondo obi otedna chiemo kaneno mondo mi anene kaka otedo; kendo acham chiemo kotingʼo e lwete.’”

Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her hand.

6 Omiyo Amnon nonindo kowuondore ni otuo. Kane ruoth obiro nene, Amnon nowachone niya, “Daher mondo nyamera ma Tamar obi olosna makati moro mopogore gi mapile kaneno, mondo mi achame kotingʼe e lwete.”

So Amnon went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food from her hand.

7 Daudi nooro wach ne Tamar e dala ruoth kama: “Dhi e od owadu Amnon mondo itedne chiemo.”

Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

8 Omiyo Tamar nodhi e od owadgi ma Amnon mane oyudo nindo. Nokawo mogo modwalo mi otedo makati koneno.

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.

9 Eka nokawo gima notedoe mi omiye makati, to notamore chamo. Amnon nowachone niya, “Riemb jogi duto oko.” Omiyo ji duto nowuok oko oweye.

And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.

10 Eka Amnon nowachone Tamar niya, “Kel chiemo kor nindona koni mondo mi achiem kitingʼona chiemo e lweti.” Kendo Tamar nokawo makati mano tedo motero ni Amnon owadgi kor nindone.

Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.

11 Kane oterone chiemo mondo ocham nomake githuon koywaye mowachone niya, “Nyamera, bi wanind e kitandana ka.”

And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.

12 En to nodwoke niya, “Kik itim gima kama, owadwa. Kik ichuna. Gima kama ok onego timre e Israel! Kik itim tim marachni.

And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.

13 An to dabed nade? Wichkuot machal kama dater kanye? To in to? Dibed machal kaka achiel kuom joricho mofuwo e Israel. Kiyie to wuo gi ruoth; ok obi tamore mondo kik ikenda.”

What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep me from you.

14 To notamore winje, to kaka notek moloye, noterore kode githuon.

But he would not give attention to what she said: but being stronger than she, he took her by force, and had connection with her.

15 Eka Amnon nosin mojok kode ahinya. Chutho, nosin mojok kode moloyo kaka ne ohere. Amnon nowachone niya, “Chungi kendo wuog idhi!”

Then Amnon was full of hate for her, hating her with a hate greater than his earlier love for her. And he said to her, Get up and be gone.

16 Nodwoke niya, “Ooyo. Riemba kama biro bedo marach moloyo kata mana rach misetimona.” To nodagi winje.

And she said to him, Not so, my brother, for this great wrong in sending me away is worse than what you did to me before. But he gave no attention to her.

17 Noluongo jatije mowachone ni, Gol dhakoni oko ka kendo ilor dhoot matek bangʼe.

Then he gave a cry to the servant who was waiting on him and said, Put this woman out, and let the door be locked after her.

18 Omiyo jatije nogole oko moloro dhoot matek bangʼe. Noyudo nyakono orwako law molos maber manyilni mane itwangʼo ni nyiri ngili ma nyi joka ruoth.

Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking the door after her.

19 Tamar noolo buru e wiye mi noyiecho lawe manyilni mane otwangʼ maber mane oyudo orwako. Nomako wiye gi lwete kendo nodhi koywak matek.

And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly.

20 Owadgi ma Abisalom nopenjo niya, “Dibedni owadu ma Amnon osebedo kodi e achiel? Koro sani lingʼ mos nyamera; en owadu. Kik wachni chand chunyi.” Kendo Tamar nodak gi Abisalom e ode, ka en dhako mokuyo.

And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother's house.

21 Ruoth Daudi iye nowangʼ ahinya kane owinjo wechegi duto.

But when King David had news of all these things he was very angry; but he did not make trouble for Amnon his son, for he was dear to David, being his oldest son.

22 Abisalom ne ok owacho gimoro maber kata marach ni Amnon; to nosin kod Amnon nikech ne osekuodo wi Tamar nyamin-gi.

But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.

23 Bangʼ higni ariyo, kane jongʼad yie romb Abisalom ni Baal Hazor machiegni gi tongʼ Efraim, noluongo yawuot ruoth duto mondo obi kanyo.

Now after two full years, Absalom had men cutting the wool of his sheep in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim: and he sent for all the king's sons to come to his feast.

24 Abisalom nodhi ir ruoth mowachone niya, “Jatichni osechoko joge mangʼado yie rombe. Bende ruoth kod jodonge diyie bi?”

And Absalom came to the king and said, See now, your servant is cutting the wool of his sheep; will the king and his servants be pleased to come?

25 Ruoth nodwoke niya, “Ooyo wuoda.” Waduto ok onego wabi, wabiro miyi tingʼ mapek. Kata obedo ni Abisalom nomedo hombe, to pod nodagi dhi, makmana ne oyiene ni odhi nyime gi nyasino.

And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, or the number will be over-great for you. And he made his request again, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.

26 Eka Abisalom nowacho niya, “Kare ka kamano to we owadwa Amnon odhi kodwa.” To ruoth nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo dodhi kodu?”

Then Absalom said, If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to go with you?

27 To Abisalom nohombe, omiyo noyiene mi gidhi gi Amnon to gi yawuot ruoth mamoko.

But Absalom went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.

28 Abisalom nosechiko jotijene niya, “Winjuru! Ka Amnon osemetho momer, to anawachnu ni, Goyeuru ma unege. Kik ubed maluor. Donge an ema asechikou? Beduru motegno kendo ma jochir.”

Now Absalom had given orders to his servants, saying, Now take note when Amnon's heart is glad with wine; and when I say to you, Make an attack on Amnon, then put him to death without fear: have I not given you orders? be strong and without fear.

29 Omiyo jotije Abisalom notimo ni Amnon kaka nosechikgi. Eka yawuot ruoth duto nochungʼ moidho kanjegi moringo.

So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as Absalom had given them orders. Then all the king's sons got up, and every man got on his beast and went in flight.

30 Kane pod gin e yo, wach nochopo ne Daudi niya, “Abisalom osenego yawuot ruoth duto; maonge kata achiel kuomgi modongʼ.”

Now while they were on their way, news was given to David that Absalom had put to death all the sons of the king and that not one of them was still living.

31 Ruoth nochungʼ malo, noyiecho lepe mi onindo piny kendo jotijene duto nochungʼ bute ka lepgi oyiech.

Then the king got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.

32 To Jonadab wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi, nowachone niya, “Ruodha kik par ni gisenego yawuot ruoth duto. En mana Amnon kende ema otho. Abisalom osebedo gi paroni e chunye chakre chiengʼ mane Amnon oterore gi nyamin-gi Tamar githuon.

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, Let not my lord have the idea that all the sons of the king have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead: this has been purposed by Absalom from the day when he took his sister Tamar by force.

33 Ruodha ma en ruoth ok onego kaw wach mar tho yawuot ruoth ka gimoro. En mana Amnon kende ema otho.”

So now, let not my lord the king take this thing to heart, with the idea that all the king's sons are dead: for only Amnon is dead.

34 Noyudo ka Abisalom oseringo modhi opondo. Koro ngʼat mane rito notingʼo wangʼe moneno ji mangʼeny moa yo podho chiengʼ ka gilor e bath got. Jaritno nodhi ir ruoth monyise ni, Aneno ji kalor e bath got, yo Horonaim.

But Absalom went in flight. And the young man who kept the watch, lifting up his eyes, saw that a great band of people was coming down the slope by the way of the Horons; and the watchman came and gave word to the king, saying, I saw men coming down by the way of the Horons, from the hillside.

35 Jonadab nowachone ruoth niya, “Ne yawuot ruoth osechopo ka; otimore mana kaka jatichni nowacho.”

And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.

36 Kane otieko wuoyo, yawuot ruoth nochopo ka gigoyo nduru matek. Ruoth bende gi jotichne duto noywak malit ahinya.

And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.

37 Abisalom noringo modhi ir Talmai wuod Amihud ruodh Geshur. To Ruoth Daudi noywago wuode pile pile.

So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.

38 Bangʼ ka Abisalom oseringo modhi Geshur, nobet kuno kuom higni adek.

And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.

39 Eka chuny ruoth nogombo neno Abisalom, nimar chunye nosea e wach tho mar Amnon.

And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.
