< 2 Samuel 13 >
1 After some time, David’s son Amnon fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom.
Yeroo tokko Amnoon ilmi Daawit Taamaarin jaallate; isheen akka malee bareedduu, obboleettii Abesaaloom ilma Daawit sanaa turte.
2 Amnon was sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her.
Amnoon sababii jaalala obboleettii isaa Taamaariitiif akka malee dhiphatee dhibame; sababii isheen durba turteef Amnoon waan waanuma tokko illee ishee gochuu dandaʼu hin seene.
3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man,
Amnoon michuu akka malee jalʼaa kan Yoonaadaab jedhamu tokko qaba ture; Yoonaadaab ilma Shimeʼaa obboleessa Daawit.
4 so he asked Amnon, “Why are you, the son of the king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
Yoonaadaabis Amnooniin, “Yaa ilma mootii, dhagni kee maaliif guyyuma guyyaan huqqachaa deema? Ati natti hin himtuu?” jedhee gaafate. Amnoon immoo, “Ani Taamaar obboleettii Abesaaloom obboleessa kootii jaalladheera” isaan jedhe.
5 Jonadab told him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’”
Yehoonaadaabis, “Sobiitii akka nama dhukkubsateetti siree irra ciisi; yommuu abbaan kee si gaafachuu dhufutti, ‘Akka ani harka isheetii nyaadhuuf akka obboleettiin koo Taamaar dhuftee fuula koo duratti nyaata naa qopheessitu nan barbaada’ jedhiin” jedhe.
6 So Amnon lay down and feigned illness. When the king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.”
Kanaafuu Amnoon sobee akka nama dhukkubsate tokkootti ciise. Yommuu mootichi isa gaafachuu dhufettis Amnoon, “Akka obboleettiin koo Taamaar dhuftee fuula koo duratti nyaata addaa naaf qopheessitee nyaadhu nan barbaada” jedheen.
7 Then David sent word to Tamar at the palace: “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare a meal for him.”
Daawitis gara manaatti Taamaaritti nama ergee, “Gara mana obboleessa kee Amnoon dhaqiitii waan inni nyaatu qopheessiif” jedhe.
8 So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked them.
Kanaafuu Taamaar kaatee gara mana obboleessa ishee Amnoon kan ciisee ture sanaa dhaqxe. Daakuu xinnoo ishee fuutee bukeessitee fuula isaa duratti tolchite.
9 Then she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. “Send everyone away!” said Amnon. And everyone went out.
Ergasiis buddeena tolchite sana eelee irraa fuutee dhiʼeessiteef; inni garuu nyaachuu dide. Amnoon, “Nama hunda narraa baasaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namni hundi isa biraa baʼe.
10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat it from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes she had made and went to her brother Amnon’s bedroom.
Ergasiis Amnoon Taamaariin, “Akka ani harka kee irraa nyaadhuuf buddeenicha kutaa ani ciisutti naa fidi” jedhe. Taamaaris buddeena qopheessite sana fuutee Amnoon obboleessa isheetiif lafa inni ciisetti geessite.
11 And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said, “Come lie with me, my sister!”
Inni garuu yommuu isheen nyaata dhiʼeessiteefitti humnaan ishee qabatee, “Yaa obboleettii ko, kottuu na wajjin ciisi” jedheen.
12 “No, my brother!” she cried. “Do not humiliate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
Isheen immoo deebiftee akkana jetteen; “Yaa obboleessa ko, waan kana hin godhin! Na hin dirqisiisin. Wanni fokkisaan akkasii Israaʼel keessatti hojjetamuu hin qabu! Ati waan hamaa kana hin godhin.
13 Where could I ever take my shame? And you would be like one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
Ani maalan taʼa? Salphina koos baadhee eessan dhaqa? Ati hoo? Atis Israaʼel keessatti akka gowwaa hamaa tokkootti ilaalamuu kee ti mitii? Maaloo mootichatti himadhu; inni sitti heerumuu na hin dhowwuutii.”
14 But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her.
Inni garuu ishee dhagaʼuu dide; waan ishee caalaa jabaa taʼeefis humnaan ishee gudeede.
15 Then Amnon hated Tamar with such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. “Get up!” he said to her. “Be gone!”
Ergasii Amnoon jibba guddaa ishee jibbe; dhugumaan hamma dur ishee jaallate caalaa ishee jibbe. Amnoonis, “Kaʼiitii baʼii deemi!” isheen jedhe.
16 “No,” she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!” But he refused to listen to her.
Isheen immoo, “Hin taʼu! Na ariʼuun kee yakka ati duraan natti hojjette caalaa hammaata” jetteen. Inni garuu ishee dhagaʼuu dide.
17 Instead, he called to his attendant and said, “Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her!”
Tajaajilaa ofii isaas waamee, “Dubartii kana narraa baasiitii balbala itti cufi” jedheen.
18 So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore.
Tajaajilaan isaa sunis gad ishee baasee balbala itti cufe. Isheen uffata faaya adda addaatiin miidhagfame uffattee turte; intallan mootii kanneen dubarran qulqulluu taʼan uffata akkasii uffatu tureetii.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her robe. And putting her hand on her head, she went away crying bitterly.
Taamaaris mataa isheetti daaraa firfirfattee wandaboo ishee dheeraa faayawwaniin miidhagfame sana tarsaafte. Harka ishees mataa irra kaaʼattee sagalee ol fudhattee booʼaa deemte.
20 Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.
Abesaaloom obboleessi ishee, “Amnoon obboleessi kee si wajjin turee? Yaa obboleettii ko, calʼisi; inni obboleessuma kee ti. Waan kana garaatti hin qabatin” jedheen. Taamaaris kophaa ishee mana obboleessa ishee mana Abesaaloom jiraatte.
21 When King David heard all this, he was furious.
Daawit mootichi yommuu waan kana hunda dhagaʼetti baayʼee aare.
22 And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon for disgracing his sister Tamar.
Abesaaloom dubbii tolaa yookaan hamaa tokko illee Amnoonitti hin dubbanne; Abesaaloom sababii inni obboleettii isaa Taamaarin salphiseef akka malee Amnoonin jibbee ture.
23 Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king.
Waggaa lamaa booddee warri hoolota Abesaaloom irraa rifeensa haadan magaalaa Baʼaal Hasoor kan Efreem biratti argamu sana keessa turan; innis akka isaan achi dhaqaniif ilmaan mootii hunda waame.
24 And he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?”
Abesaaloomis gara mootichaa dhaqee, “Namoonni hoolota garbicha keetii irraa rifeensa haadan dhufaniiru. Maaloo mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa garbicha kee wajjin haa deeman” jedhee kadhate.
25 “No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.
Mootichi immoo deebisee, “Lakki yaa ilma ko, nu hundinuu deemuu hin qabnu; nu baʼaa qofa sitti taanaa” jedheen. Abesaaloom jabeessee isa kadhatu iyyuu inni isa eebbise malee isa faana hin deemne.
26 “If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king asked.
Abesaaloomis, “Yoo taʼuu baate, maaloo obboleessi koo Amnoon nu wajjin haa deemu” jedhe. Mootichi immoo, “Inni maaliif si wajjin deema?” jedhee gaafate.
27 But Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.
Abesaaloom garuu jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu inni Amnoonii fi ilmaan mootichaa kaan isa wajjin erge.
28 Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!”
Abesaaloom akkana jedhee namoota isaa ajaje; “Dhagaʼaa! Yommuu Amnoon daadhii wayinii dhugee machaaʼutti ani, ‘Amnoonin dhaʼaa’ isiniin jedha; isinis yommuu suma isa ajjeesaa. Hin sodaatinaa. Anatu ajaja kana isinii kenne mitii? Jabaadhaa; jagnoomaas.”
29 So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.
Kanaafuu namoonni Abesaaloom waanuma Abesaaloom isaan ajaje sana Amnoonitti hojjetan. Ilmaan mootichaa hundinuus kaʼanii gaangolii isaanii yaabbatanii baqatan.
30 While they were on the way, a report reached David: “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king; not one of them is left!”
Utuu isaan karaa irra jiranuu oduun, “Abesaaloom ilmaan mootichaa hunda fixeera; tokkoon isaanii iyyuu hin hafne” jedhu Daawit qaqqabe.
31 Then the king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
Mootichis ol kaʼee uffata isaa tarsaasee lafa ciise; tajaajiltoonni isaa kanneen isa bira dhadhaabatanii turan hundinuus uffata isaanii tatarsaasan.
32 But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed all the sons of the king, for only Amnon is dead. In fact, Absalom has planned this since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar.
Yoonaadaab ilmi Shimeʼaa ilmi obboleessa Daawit sun garuu akkana jedhe; “Gooftaan koo waan isaan ilmaan mootichaa hunda fixan hin seʼin; Amnoon qofatu duʼe. Kunis waan Abesaaloom erga Amnoon obboleettii isaa Taamaarin humnaan gudeedee jalqabee itti yaadaa turee dha.
33 So now, my lord the king, do not take to heart the report that all the sons of the king are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
Gooftaan koo mootichi waaʼee oduu ilmaan mootichaa hundi ajjeefamaniiru jedhu sanaa hin yaaddaʼin; Amnoon qofatu duʼe.”
34 Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. When the young man standing watch looked up, he saw many people coming down the road west of him, along the side of the hill. And the watchman went and reported to the king, “I see men coming from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill.”
Yeroo kanatti Abesaaloom baqateera. Namichi eegumsaaf dhaabatee tures ol jedhee ilaalee namoota baayʼee daandii Horonaayim kan gaara cina baʼu irra dhufaa jiran arge. Namichi sunis dhaqee, “Ani karaa Horonaayim, cina gaaraatti namoota nan arga” jedhee mootichatti hime.
35 So Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the sons of the king have arrived! It is just as your servant said.”
Yoonaadaabis mootichaan, “Kunoo, ilmaan mootichaa dhufanii jiru; wanni kun akkuma garbichi kee jedhe taʼe” jedhe.
36 And as he finished speaking, the sons of the king came in, wailing loudly. Then the king and all his servants also wept very bitterly.
Akkuma inni dubbatee fixateen ilmaan mootichaa sagalee guddaadhaan booʼaa ol galan. Mootichii fi tajaajiltoonni isaa hundinuus hiqqifatanii booʼan.
37 Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But David mourned for his son every day.
Abesaaloom garuu baqatee gara ilma Amiihuud, gara Talmaay mooticha Geshuur sanaa dhaqe. Daawit immoo guyyaa hunda ilma isaatiif ni booʼa ture.
38 After Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, he stayed there three years.
Abesaaloom erga baqatee Geshuur dhaqee booddee waggaa sadii achi ture.
39 And King David longed to go to Absalom, for he had been consoled over Amnon’s death.
Mootichis duʼa Amnoon irraa jajjabaannaan gara Abesaaloom dhaquuf garaan isaa kakaʼe.
