< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister whose name was Tamar. And Amnon the son of David loved her.
Men sa ki vin rive apre sa: Absalon, pitit gason David la, te gen yon sè ki te bèl anpil. Li te rele Tama. Amnon, yon lòt pitit gason David, tonbe damou pou li.
2 And Amnon was so frustrated that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar. For she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
Amnon te sitèlman renmen l', li vin malad paske li pa t' ka fè anyen pou sa. Tama te tifi toujou. Yo pa t' kite l' kontre ak ankenn gason.
3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother. And Jonadab was a very sly man.
Men, Amnon te gen yon zanmi, yon moun yo te rele Jonadab, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David. Jonadab sa a te mètdam anpil.
4 And he said to him, Why, O son of the king, are thou emaciated this way from day to day? Will thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
Li di Amnon konsa: -Ou se pitit wa a. Chak jou mwen wè figi ou kagou. Sa ki genyen? Amnon reponn li: -Mwen renmen Tama, sè Absalon, frè menm papa avè m' lan.
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lie down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick. And when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.
Jonadab di li: -Pran pòz malad ou, moute kabann ou kouche. Lè papa ou va vin wè ou, w'a di l': Tanpri, kite Tama, sè m' lan, vin ban m' manje. Mwen ta renmen pou li pare manje a devan m' pou m' wè l', lèfini pou l' sèvi m' manje a li menm.
6 So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick. And when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.
Se konsa Amnon moute kabann li kouche, li pran pòz malad li. Wa David vin wè l'. Amnon di l' konsa: -Tanpri, kite Tama vin pare de ti gato la devan m' lan, lèfini pou l' sèvi m' yo li menm.
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and make food for him.
David voye komisyon bay Tama nan palè a pou l' ale kay Amnon pare manje pou li.
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
Tama ale vre kay Amnon, li jwenn li kouche sou kabann li. Li pran ti gout farin frans, li pare l', li fè kèk gato pou li devan je l'. Lèfini, li mete yo kwit.
9 And she took the pan, and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have all men out from me. And they went out every man from him.
Apre sa, li wete yo nan pwelon an devan Amnon. Men, Amnon refize manje. Li di l': -Fè tout moun soti! Lè tout moun fin soti,
10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
Amnon di Tama konsa: -Pote gato yo nan chanm lan. Se ou menm ki pou sèvi m'. Tama pran gato li te fè yo, li pote yo bay Amnon nan chanm lan.
11 And when she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
Antan l'ap lonje gato a ba li, Amnon mete men sou li. Li di l' konsa: -vin kouche avè m' non, sè m'!
12 And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not do thou this folly.
Tama di l': -Non, frè m'! Pa fòse m'! Sa pa fèt konsa nan peyi Izrayèl! Pa fè bagay lèd sa a.
13 And I, where shall I carry my shame? And as for thee, thou will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from thee.
Apre sa, mwen p'ap ka gade moun nan je ankò. Ou menm, pou tèt pa ou, w'ap pase pou yonn nan pi move moun nan peyi Izrayèl. Tanpri, pale ak wa a. Mwen sèten li p'ap refize ou marye avè m'.
14 However he would not hearken to her voice, but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.
Men, Amnon pa wè li pa tande, li kenbe l' la. Li te gen plis fòs pase l', li kouche ak li.
15 Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.
Lèfini, li santi li rayi Tama pou l' mouri. Li vin rayi l' plis pase jan li te renmen l' lan. Li di l': -Mete ou deyò lakay mwen!
16 And she said to him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is worse than the other that thou did to me. But he would not hearken to her.
Tama reponn li: -A non! Mete m' deyò konsa! Sa pi mal ankò pase sa ou sot fè m' la a! Men Amnon pa t' soti pou koute l'.
17 Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, Put this woman out from me now, and bolt the door after her.
Li rele gason ki t'ap sèvi l' la, li di l': -Wete fi sa a devan je m'! Mete l' deyò. Lèfini, fèmen pòt la akle dèyè l'.
18 And she had a garment of various colors upon her, for with such robes were the king's daughters who were virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
Gason an fè Tama soti deyò, li fèmen pòt la akle dèyè l'. Tama te gen yon rad long ak gwo manch sou li. Se rad konsa pitit wa yo te konn mete sou yo lè yo poko marye.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her. And she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
Li simen sann dife sou tèt li, li chire rad ki te sou li a, li mete de men nan tèt, li pran rele epi li ale.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? But now hold thy peace, my sister. He is thy brother. Do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
Lè sa a, Absalon, frè l' la, mande l': -Eske Amnon, frè ou la, fè kadejak sou ou? Tanpri, sè m' pa kite sa fatige ou twòp, tande. Se frè ou li ye. Pa di pesonn anyen. Se konsa Tama rete pou kont li kay Absalon, frè l' la. Li te nan gwo lapenn.
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
Lè wa David vin konn sa ki te pase, li te move. Men, li pa di Amnon anyen, paske se te premye pitit gason l'. Li te renmen l' kou de grenn je nan tèt li.
22 And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad, for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalon vin rayi Amnon pou kadejak li te fè sou Tama, sè li a. Li koupe l' bonjou.
23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
Dezan apre sa, Absalon t'ap koupe lenn mouton l' yo lavil Baal azò, toupre lavil Efrayim. Li envite tout pitit gason wa yo vin manje.
24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant has sheep-shearers. Let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
li al jwenn wa David, li di l' konsa: -Monwa, mwen pral koupe lenn mouton m' yo. Ou pa ta vle vini ansanm ak tout chèf ou yo lakay mwen?
25 And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he pressed him. However he would not go, but blessed him.
W'a reponn li: -Non, pitit mwen! Se pral twòp traka pou ou si nou tout nou vini. Absalon pèsiste, men wa a pa pran priyè, li voye l' ale ak benediksyon l'.
26 Then Absalom said, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?
Lè sa a Absalon di l': -Men, èske w'ap kite Amnon, frè m' lan, vini ak nou? Wa a reponn li? -Poukisa pou l' ale a?
27 But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
Men Absalon sitèlman pèsiste, bout pou bout, David kite Amnon ale ansanm ak tout lòt pitit gason l' yo. Absalon te pare yon gwo fèt tankou si l' t'ap fè l' pou yon wa.
28 And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Notice ye now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon, then kill him. Fear not; have I not commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
Epi li bay domestik li yo lòd sa a, li di yo: -Gade byen, lè n'a wè Anmon ak bon gwòg nan tèt li, m'a di nou: Desann Amnon. n'a touye l'. Nou pa bezwen pè, mwen pran tout reskonsablite a sou mwen. Mete gason sou nou. Frape san tranble.
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got up upon his mule, and fled.
Se konsa domestik Absalon yo swiv lòd Absalon te ba yo, yo touye Amnon. Lè sa a, tout lòt pitit gason David yo leve, yo moute milèt yo, yo met deyò.
30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the news came to David, saying, Absalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
Yo te sou chemen lakay yo toujou, lè David vin pran nouvèl Absalon touye dènye pitit gason li yo, pa gen yonn ki chape.
31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
Wa a leve kanpe, li chire rad ki te sou li, li lage kò l' atè. Tout moun ki te avèk wa a chire rad sou yo tou.
32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons, for Amnon only is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
Men Jonabad, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David la, di l': -Monwa, yo pa touye tout pitit gason ou yo non. Se Amnon ase ki mouri, paske Absalon te gen lide nan tèt li pou l' te fè sa depi lè Amnon te fè kadejak sou Tama, sè l' la.
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead, for only Amnon is dead.
Koulye a, monwa, ou pa bezwen koute moun k'ap vin di ou tout pitit gason ou yo mouri. Se Amnon ase yo touye.
34 But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him.
Lè sa a Absalon te gen tan kraze rak. Sòlda ki te faksyonnè a wè yon foul moun ki t'ap kouri desann ti pant sou chemen lavil Owonayim lan. li al jwenn wa a, li di l' sa li wè.
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons have come; as thy servant said, so it is.
Jonabad di wa a konsa: -Men sa m' t'ap di ou la. Se pitit gason ou yo k'ap vini.
36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. And the king also and all his servants wept very much.
Fini li fin di sa, pitit gason David yo rive. Yo pete rele. Wa a pran rele ansanm ak tout chèf li yo. Yo rele kont rele yo.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
Absalon menm kraze rak, li al kay Talmayi, pitit gason Amiyoud la, ki te wa lavil Gechou a. David menm te nan gwo lapenn pandan kèk jou pou lanmò Amnon.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Absalon rete pase twazan lavil Gechou kote li te kouri al kache a.
39 And the soul of king David longed to go forth to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Lè wa David fin konsole apre lanmò Amnon, li vin anvi wè Absalon.
