2 Samuel 13
1 Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with 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 And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so 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 wise man.
Ma Amnọn nwere otu enyi dị aghụghọ, onye aha ya bụ Jonadab, nwa Shimea, nwanne Devid.
4 And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with 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 Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take 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 went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food 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 to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal 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 in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.
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 And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.
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 Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.
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 And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.
Ma mgbe Tama guzo nʼihu ya, Amnọn jidere ya nʼike sị ya, “Bịa, soro m dinaa, nwanne m nwanyị.”
12 And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.
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 What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep 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 But he would not give attention to what she said: but being stronger than she, he took her by force, and had connection 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 was full of hate for her, hating her with a hate greater than his earlier love for her. And he said to her, Get up and 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 And she said to him, Not so, my brother, for this great wrong in sending me away is worse than what you did to me before. But he gave no attention 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 gave a cry to the servant who was waiting on him and said, Put this woman out, and let the door be locked after her.
Ọ kpọrọ nwokorobịa na-ejere ya ozi sị ya, “Chụpụ nwanyị a nʼezi, kpachiere m ụzọ nʼazụ.”
18 Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking 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 And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly.
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 And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother'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 had news of all these things he was very angry; but he did not make trouble for Amnon his son, for he was dear to David, being his oldest son.
Mgbe eze Devid nụrụ ihe ndị a niile, iwe were ya nke ukwuu.
22 But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.
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 Now after two full years, Absalom had men cutting the wool of his sheep in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim: and he sent for all the king's sons to come to his feast.
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 And Absalom came to the king and said, See now, your servant is cutting the wool of his sheep; will the king and his servants be pleased to come?
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 And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, or the number will be over-great for you. And he made his request again, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.
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 you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to 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 went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.
Ma Absalọm rụgidere ya, ya mere o zipụrụ Amnọn na ụmụ eze ndị ọzọ ka ha soro ya gaa.
28 Now Absalom had given orders to his servants, saying, Now take note when Amnon's heart is glad with wine; and when I say to you, Make an attack on Amnon, then put him to death without fear: have I not given you orders? be strong and without fear.
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 So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as Absalom had given them orders. Then all the king's sons got up, and every man got on his beast and went in flight.
Mgbe oge ruru, ndị ozi Absalọm tigburu Amnọn. Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ eze niile biliri makwasị nʼịnyịnya ha gbalaga.
30 Now while they were on their way, news was given to David that Absalom had put to death all the sons of the king and that not one of them was still living.
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 got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.
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 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, Let not my lord have the idea that all the sons of the king have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead: this has been purposed by Absalom from the day when he took his sister Tamar by force.
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 So now, let not my lord the king take this thing to heart, with the idea 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 went in flight. And the young man who kept the watch, lifting up his eyes, saw that a great band of people was coming down the slope by the way of the Horons; and the watchman came and gave word to the king, saying, I saw men coming down by the way of the Horons, from the hillside.
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 And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.
Jonadab gwara eze sị, “Lee, ọ bụ ụmụ ndị ikom eze na-alọta dịka m kwuru.”
36 And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.
Mgbe ha lọbatara, ha bidoro ịkwa akwa nke ukwuu. Eze na ndị na-ejere ya ozi sokwa kwaa akwa.
37 So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.
Absalọm gbara ọsọ gbakwuru Talmai nwa Amihud, eze Geshua. Ma eze Devid ruru ụjụ nke ukwuu maka ọnwụ Amnọn.
38 And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.
Mgbe Absalọm gbara ọsọ gbaga Geshua, ọ nọrọ nʼebe ahụ afọ atọ.
39 And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.
Ọ gụrụ eze bụ Devid agụụ ịgakwuru Absalọm, nʼihi ọ kasịela obi maka ọnwụ Amnọn.
