2 Samuel 13
1 After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
Absalọm nwa Devid nwere otu nwanne nwanyị mara mma, aha ya bụ Tama. Ma Amnọn, otu nʼime ụmụ ndị ikom Devid, hụrụ nwaagbọghọ a nʼanya.
2 Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
Ma ịhụnanya a Amnọn hụrụ Tama nwanne ya nwanyị mere ya ka ọ daa ọrịa, nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe rara Amnọn ahụ ịchọpụta ụzọ ya na Tama ga-esi nwee mmekọ, ebe ọ bụ na Tama bụ nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke.
3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
Ma Amnọn nwere otu enyi dị aghụghọ, onye aha ya bụ Jonadab, nwa Shimea, nwanne Devid.
4 He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Will not you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
Otu ụbọchị, Jonadab bịakwutere Amnọn jụọ ya sị, “Gịnị mere, gị bụ nwa eze ji na-ata ahụ ụtụtụ niile? Ọ bụ na ị gaghị akọrọ m?” Amnọn gwara ya sị, “Ahụrụ m Tama nʼanya, bụ nwanne Absalọm, nwanne m nwoke.”
5 Jonadab said to him, “Lay down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’”
Jonadab gwara ya sị, “Ọ dị mma. Lee ihe ị ga-eme. Gaa dinaa ala, dịka a ga-asị na ahụ adịghị gị. Mgbe nna gị bịara ileta gị, gwa ya okwu sị ya, ‘Achọrọ m ka nwanne m nwanyị bụ Tama bịa nye m ihe oriri. Achọrọ m ka ọ nọdụ nʼihu m sie nri ahụ, mgbe m na-ele ya anya, ka o jirikwa aka ya nye m nri ahụ.’”
6 So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”
Amnọn mere otu a. Mgbe eze bịara ileta ya, Amnọn rịọrọ ya sị, “Biko, ka Tama bịa ebe a gheere m achịcha ole na ole ebe m ga-ahụ ya anya. Ka o jirikwa aka ya dozie ya nʼihu m ka m rie ya.”
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
Devid kwenyere, zie Tama ka ọ gaa nʼụlọ Amnọn gaa siere ya nri.
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
Tama gara nʼụlọ Amnọn, banyekwa nʼime ụlọ ebe o dinaa, ka Amnọn na-ele ya anya mgbe ọ na-agwọgharị ụtụ ọka. Emesịa, Tama gheere ya achịcha mara mma.
9 She took the pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out from him.
Mgbe o cheziri achịcha ahụ nʼihu Amnọn, Amnọn jụrụ iri ya. Ihe o mere mgbe ahụ bụ inye ndị na-ejere ya ozi nọ nʼebe ahụ iwu sị ha niile pụọ ngwangwa. Ha niile pụkwara.
10 Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
Mgbe ahụ, Amnọn gwara Tama okwu sị, “Ugbu a, wetara m nri ahụ nʼime ụlọ ndina m, bịa jiri aka gị nye m ya.” Tama bugaara ya achịcha ahụ nʼime ụlọ ebe ihe ndina ya dị.
11 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!”
Ma mgbe Tama guzo nʼihu ya, Amnọn jidere ya nʼike sị ya, “Bịa, soro m dinaa, nwanne m nwanyị.”
12 She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not you do this folly!
Tama zara sị ya, “Mba! Nwanne m nwoke. Emerụla m. Ihe dị otu a ekwesighị ime nʼala Izrel. Emela ihe ọjọọ dị otu a.
13 As for me, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”
Olee ihe ga-abụ ọnọdụ m? Oleekwanụ ihe ga-abụ ọnọdụ gị? Olee ebe m ga-agbala izo onwe m nʼihi ihe ihere ga-adịrị m ma i mee ihe dị otu a? Ị ga-adị ka otu nʼime ndị nzuzu ọjọọ dị nʼIzrel. Biko, gwa eze, ọ ga-ekwe ka ị lụọ m.”
14 However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
Ma Amnọn egeghị ntị. Ebe ọ bụ na ọ ka Tama ike, o jidere ya dinaa ya nʼike merụọ ya.
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. Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”
Emesịa, Amnọn kpọrọ Tama asị. Nʼezie, ọ kpọrọ ya asị ugbu a karịa ịhụnanya ọ hụrụ ya na mbụ. Ọ gwara Tama okwu sị ya, “Bilie si nʼebe a pụọ ọsịịsọ!”
16 She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
Ma Tama kwara akwa sị ya, “Mba! Ịjụ m otu a ka njọ karịa ihe ọjọọ i mere m.” Ma Amnọn egeghị ya ntị.
17 Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”
Ọ kpọrọ nwokorobịa na-ejere ya ozi sị ya, “Chụpụ nwanyị a nʼezi, kpachiere m ụzọ nʼazụ.”
18 She had a garment of various colors on her, for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her.
Onyeozi ya chụpụrụ ya nʼezi, kpachie ụzọ nʼazụ ya. Uwe mwụda nwere aka ogologo ka Tama yi, nʼihi na ọ bụ ụdị nke ụmụ ndị inyom eze na-amaghị nwoke na-eyi.
19 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.
Tama dọwara uwe mwụda ahụ o yi nʼahụ, werekwa ntụ kpokwasị onwe ya nʼisi, buru aka ya nʼisi na-eti mkpu akwa dịka ọ na-ala.
20 Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
Nwanne ya nwoke, Absalọm jụrụ ya sị, “Amnọn, nwanne gị nwoke, o dinakwuuru gị? Ma ugbu a, nwanne m, gba nkịtị, nwanne gị nwoke ka ọ bụ. Etinyela ihe a mere nʼobi.” Tama nọrọ dịka onye mmadụ niile jụrụ ajụ nʼụlọ nwanne ya nwoke, bụ Absalọm.
21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
Mgbe eze Devid nụrụ ihe ndị a niile, iwe were ya nke ukwuu.
22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalọm agwaghị Amnọn okwu ọbụla, maọbụ nke dị mma, maọbụ okwu ọjọọ. Ma ọ kpọrọ Amnọn asị nke ukwuu nʼihi ọnọdụ iweda nʼala o wedara nwanne ya Tama, mee ya ihe ihere.
23 After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
Mgbe afọ abụọ gasịrị, mgbe ndị na-akpụchara Absalọm ajị ụmụ atụrụ ya nọ na Baal-Hazọ, nʼoke ala Ifrem, ọ kpọkọtara ụmụ ndị ikom eze niile ka ha bịa nʼebe ahụ.
24 Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”
Absalọm jekwuuru eze sị ya, “Ndị na-akpụcha ajị ụmụ atụrụ ohu gị bịara. Eze na ndịisi ozi ya, ha ga-abịa sonyere m?”
25 The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
Ma eze zara sị ya, “Mba, nwa m, anyị niile agaghị abịa, anyị ga-abụ ibu dị arọ nye gị.” Nʼagbanyeghị na Absalọm rugidere ya ma o kweghị aga, kama ọ gọziri ya.
26 Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
Mgbe ahụ, Absalọm rịọrọ nna ya sị, “Ọ dị mma, ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị abịa, ị ga-emekwa ka nwanna m nwoke Amnọn, na ụmụ eze ndị ọzọ bịa?” Eze jụrụ ya sị, “Nʼihi gịnị ka Amnọn ga-eji soro gị gaa?”
27 But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
Ma Absalọm rụgidere ya, ya mere o zipụrụ Amnọn na ụmụ eze ndị ọzọ ka ha soro ya gaa.
28 Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have not I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
Mgbe ahụ, Absalọm nyere ndị na-ejere ya ozi iwu banyere Amnọn sị, “Cherenụ ruo mgbe mmanya bidoro igbu ya, mgbe m sịkwara unu tigbuo ya, unu atụla egwu, tigbuonụ ya. Ọ bụ m na-ekwu ihe ga-eme nʼebe a. Nweenụ obi ike, meekwanụ ya.”
29 The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up on his mule and fled.
Mgbe oge ruru, ndị ozi Absalọm tigburu Amnọn. Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ eze niile biliri makwasị nʼịnyịnya ha gbalaga.
30 While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!”
Mgbe ha ka nọ nʼụzọ na-agbaga Jerusalem, ozi eruolarị Devid ntị sị, “Absalọm egbuchaala ụmụ eze niile, ọ dịkwaghị otu onye nʼime ha fọdụrụ ndụ!”
31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
Eze biliri ọtọ, dọwaa uwe ya, daa nʼala, gbatịa onwe ya nʼihi obi ọjọọ. Ndị na-ejere ya ozi dọwakwara uwe ha nʼihi egwu na obi ọjọọ.
32 Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Do not let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
Ma Jonadab, nwa Shimea, nwanne Devid, sịrị, “Onyenwe m, echekwala na e gburu ụmụ ndị ikom eze niile, kama ọ bụ naanị Amnọn! Nke a bụ ihe Absalọm jikere ime site mgbe Amnọn wakporo nwanne ya nwanyị bụ Tama, dina ya.
33 Now therefore do not let 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.”
Ma ugbu a, ka onyenwe m bụ eze ghara itinye akụkọ banyere ọnwụ ụmụ ndị ikom eze niile, nʼobi ya. Ọ bụ naanị Amnọn nwụrụ.”
34 But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
Ma Absalọm gbara ọsọ gbalaga. Ọ dịghị anya nwoke na-anọ nʼelu mgbidi Jerusalem na-eche nche, lepụrụ anya hụ ndị mmadụ ka ha si nʼụzọ dị nʼakụkụ ugwu nta na-abịa. Nwoke ahụ gara gwa eze sị ya, “Ahụrụ m ndị si nʼakụkụ Horonaim, nʼakụkụ ugwu na-abịa.”
35 Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
Jonadab gwara eze sị, “Lee, ọ bụ ụmụ ndị ikom eze na-alọta dịka m kwuru.”
36 As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
Mgbe ha lọbatara, ha bidoro ịkwa akwa nke ukwuu. Eze na ndị na-ejere ya ozi sokwa kwaa akwa.
37 But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
Absalọm gbara ọsọ gbakwuru Talmai nwa Amihud, eze Geshua. Ma eze Devid ruru ụjụ nke ukwuu maka ọnwụ Amnọn.
38 So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Mgbe Absalọm gbara ọsọ gbaga Geshua, ọ nọrọ nʼebe ahụ afọ atọ.
39 King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
Ọ gụrụ eze bụ Devid agụụ ịgakwuru Absalọm, nʼihi ọ kasịela obi maka ọnwụ Amnọn.
