2 Samuel 13
1 Bangʼ kinde moko, Amnon wuod Daudi nochako gombo Tamar, nyako ma jaber mane nyamin Abisalom wuod Daudi.
David's son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar, and another of David's sons, Amnon, fell 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.
Amnon became so infatuated with his sister Tamar that he felt sick. She was a virgin, and Amnon saw it was impossible for him to have her.
3 Koro Amnon ne nigi osiepne miluongo ni Jonadab wuod Shimea, ma owadgi Daudi. Jonadab ne en ngʼat ma riekone richo.
However, Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, and he was the son of David's brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very cunning 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.”
He asked Amnon, “Why are you, the king's son, so down every morning? Why don't you tell me what's wrong?” “I'm in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister,” Amnon replied.
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.’”
“Lie down on your bed and pretend you're sick,” Jonadab told him. “When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please have my sister Tamar come and give me some food to eat. She can make it as I watch and she can hand it to me.’”
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 lay down and pretended to be sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon asked him, “Please have my sister Tamar come and make a couple of pancakes as I watch, and she can hand them to me to eat.”
7 Daudi nooro wach ne Tamar e dala ruoth kama: “Dhi e od owadu Amnon mondo itedne chiemo.”
Then David sent a message to Tamar at the palace: “Please be so kind as to go to the house of your brother Amnon and make him some food.”
8 Omiyo Tamar nodhi e od owadgi ma Amnon mane oyudo nindo. Nokawo mogo modwalo mi otedo makati koneno.
So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon to where he was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, and cooked the pancakes as he watched.
9 Eka nokawo gima notedoe mi omiye makati, to notamore chamo. Amnon nowachone niya, “Riemb jogi duto oko.” Omiyo ji duto nowuok oko oweye.
Then she took the pan and emptied it out before him, but he refused to eat. “Everybody leave me!” Amnon shouted. Everyone left.
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, “Bring the food here into my bedroom so you can hand it to me to eat.” So Tamar took the pancakes she had made to her brother Amnon in his bedroom.
11 Kane oterone chiemo mondo ocham nomake githuon koywaye mowachone niya, “Nyamera, bi wanind e kitandana ka.”
But as she handed him the food, he grabbed hold of her, and said, “Come to bed with me, 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.
“No, you're my brother!” she exclaimed. “Don't rape me! That's not what we do in Israel! Don't do something so shameful!
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.”
Stop and think about me! How could I bear such a disgrace? Think about yourself too! You'd be treated with contempt as a complete fool in Israel! Please talk with the king, for he won't stop you marrying me.”
14 To notamore winje, to kaka notek moloye, noterore kode githuon.
But Amnon wouldn't to listen to her, and because he was stronger than she was, he raped 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 hated Tamar with immense hatred. His hatred was so strong that it was greater than the love he'd had before. “Get up! Get lost!” he told her.
16 Nodwoke niya, “Ooyo. Riemba kama biro bedo marach moloyo kata mana rach misetimona.” To nodagi winje.
“No! Don't do this!” she answered. “Sending me away in disgrace would be an even greater evil than what you've already done to me.” But he wouldn't listen to her.
17 Noluongo jatije mowachone ni, Gol dhakoni oko ka kendo ilor dhoot matek bangʼe.
He called for his servant and said, “Get rid of this woman and lock the door behind 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.
So his servant threw her out and locked the door behind her. Tamar was wearing the long robe of a princess, which is what the king's virgin daughters wore.
19 Tamar noolo buru e wiye mi noyiecho lawe manyilni mane otwangʼ maber mane oyudo orwako. Nomako wiye gi lwete kendo nodhi koywak matek.
Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her long robe. She put her hands on her head, she 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.
Her brother Absalom found her and asked, “Has brother Amnon been with you? Keep quiet for the moment, my sister. He's your brother. Don't be so upset about it.” So Tamar lived as a ruined and abandoned woman in her brother Absalom's home.
21 Ruoth Daudi iye nowangʼ ahinya kane owinjo wechegi duto.
When King David heard about it, he was very angry.
22 Abisalom ne ok owacho gimoro maber kata marach ni Amnon; to nosin kod Amnon nikech ne osekuodo wi Tamar nyamin-gi.
Absalom didn't talk to Amnon at all because he hated Amnon for raping his sister Tamar.
23 Bangʼ higni ariyo, kane jongʼad yie romb Abisalom ni Baal Hazor machiegni gi tongʼ Efraim, noluongo yawuot ruoth duto mondo obi kanyo.
Some two years later, when his sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, Absalom invited all the king's sons to join the celebrations.
24 Abisalom nodhi ir ruoth mowachone niya, “Jatichni osechoko joge mangʼado yie rombe. Bende ruoth kod jodonge diyie bi?”
He went to the king and said, “I, your servant, have hired shearers. Would the king and his servants please join me?”
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.
“No, my son,” the king replied, “we can't all go. We would be a burden to you.” Even though Absalom went on asking, he was not willing to go, but he did give Absalom his blessing.
26 Eka Abisalom nowacho niya, “Kare ka kamano to we owadwa Amnon odhi kodwa.” To ruoth nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo dodhi kodu?”
“Well then, at least let my brother Amnon join us,” Absalom responded. “Why do you want him to go?” the king asked.
27 To Abisalom nohombe, omiyo noyiene mi gidhi gi Amnon to gi yawuot ruoth mamoko.
But Absalom kept on asking, so the king sent Amnon and his other sons.
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.”
Absalom gave orders to his men, saying, “Pay attention! When Amnon is feeling happy from drinking wine and I tell you, ‘Attack Amnon!’ then kill him. Don't be afraid. I myself am giving you this order. Be strong and be brave.”
29 Omiyo jotije Abisalom notimo ni Amnon kaka nosechikgi. Eka yawuot ruoth duto nochungʼ moidho kanjegi moringo.
So Absalom's men did what Absalom had ordered and killed Amnon. Then all the rest of the king's sons jumped up, got on their mules, and ran away.
30 Kane pod gin e yo, wach nochopo ne Daudi niya, “Abisalom osenego yawuot ruoth duto; maonge kata achiel kuomgi modongʼ.”
While they were on their way back, David received a message, “Absalom has killed all the king's sons—there's not a single one left!”
31 Ruoth nochungʼ malo, noyiecho lepe mi onindo piny kendo jotijene duto nochungʼ bute ka lepgi oyiech.
The king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground. All his officials stood beside him with their clothes torn.
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.
But Jonadab, son of David's brother Shimeah, told them: “Your Majesty must not think they have killed all the king's sons—only Amnon is dead. Absalom has been planning ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar.
33 Ruodha ma en ruoth ok onego kaw wach mar tho yawuot ruoth ka gimoro. En mana Amnon kende ema otho.”
So, Your Majesty, please don't believe the report that all the king's sons are dead. 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.
In the meantime, Absalom had run away. When the watchman in Jerusalem looked out, he saw a large crowd coming along the road west of him, down the side of the hill.
35 Jonadab nowachone ruoth niya, “Ne yawuot ruoth osechopo ka; otimore mana kaka jatichni nowacho.”
Jonadab told the king, “Can you see? The king's sons are arriving! It's exactly as your servant said.”
36 Kane otieko wuoyo, yawuot ruoth nochopo ka gigoyo nduru matek. Ruoth bende gi jotichne duto noywak malit ahinya.
As he finished speaking, the king's sons came in, crying and wailing. Then the king and all his officials also cried loudly.
37 Abisalom noringo modhi ir Talmai wuod Amihud ruodh Geshur. To Ruoth Daudi noywago wuode pile pile.
Absalom ran away to Talmai, son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Every day David mourned for his son Amnon.
38 Bangʼ ka Abisalom oseringo modhi Geshur, nobet kuno kuom higni adek.
After Absalom had run away to Geshur, he remained there for three years.
39 Eka chuny ruoth nogombo neno Abisalom, nimar chunye nosea e wach tho mar Amnon.
King David longed to go and see Absalom, for he had finished grieving over the death of Amnon.
