2 Samuel 13

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

And it happened after this that Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name [was] Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved 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 Amnon was distressed even to sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it seemed very difficult for 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.

And Amnon had a friend, and his name [was] Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and 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.”

And he said to him, What ails you that you are thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? will you not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.

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.’”

And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon your bed, and make yourself sick, and your father shall come in to see you; and you shall say to him, Let, I pray you, Themar my sister come, and feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may see and eat at her hands.

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 Ammon lay down, and made himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray you, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.

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

And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to your brother's house, and dress him food.

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

And Themar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he [was] lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

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 frying pan and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.

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.

And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of your hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.

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

And she brought [them] to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie 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.

And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.

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.”

And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray you, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from you.

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

But Amnon would not listen to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay 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 hated her with very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and be gone.

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

And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, [said she], than the other that you did me, to send me away: but Amnon would not listen to her voice.

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

And he called his servant who had charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this [woman] out from me, and shut the door 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.

And she had on her a variegated robe, for so were the king's daughters that were virgins attired in their apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut 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 Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she tore the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.

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 Abessalom her brother said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is your brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar lived as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.

21 Ruoth Daudi iye nowangʼ ahinya kane owinjo wechegi duto.

And king David heard of all these things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son Amnon, because be loved him, for he was his firstborn.

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

And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.

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

And it came to pass at the end of two whole years, that they were shearing [sheep] for Abessalom in Belasor near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king's sons.

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

And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, your servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with your servant.

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 Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to you. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.

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

And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let I pray you, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?

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

And Abessalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king's sons; and Abessalom made a banquet like the banquet of the 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.”

And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Strike Amnon, and kill him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.

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

And the servants of Abessalom did to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.

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

And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

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

Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him tore their garments.

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 Samaa brother of David, answered and said, Let not my Lord the king say that he has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them all is dead; for he was appointed [to death] by the mouth of Abessalom from the day that he humbled his sister Themar.

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

And now let not my lord the king take the matter to heart, saying, All the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only of them 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.

And Abessalom escaped: and the young man the watchman, lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.

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

And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of your servant, so has it happened.

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

And it came to pass when he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.

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

But Abessalom fled, and went to Tholmi son of Emiud the king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and king David mourned for his son continually.

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

So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.

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

And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.
