2 Samuel 13
1 Now after these things, it happened that Amnon, the son of David, was in love with the very beautiful sister of Absalom, the son of David, and she was called Tamar.
Pi tà, apre sa Absalom, fis a David la te gen yon sè byen bèl ki te rele Tamar e Amnon, fis a David la te renmen li.
2 And he pined for her exceedingly, so much so that, out of love for her, he became ill. For, since she was a virgin, it seemed a difficulty to him that he would do anything dishonest with her.
Amnon te tèlman fristre akoz sè li, Tamar, ke sa te fè li vin malad, paske li te vyèj e li te sanble difisil pou Amnon fè yon bagay ak li.
3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent man.
Men Amnon te gen yon zanmi ki te rele Jonadab, fis a Schimea a, frè David. Epi Jonadab te yon nonm byen rize.
4 And he said to him: “Why are you becoming so thin from day to day, O son of the king? Why won’t you tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
Li te di li: “O fis a wa a, poukisa ou deprime maten apre maten konsa? Èske ou p ap di m sa?” Epi Amnon te di li: “Mwen tonbe nan renmen avèk Tamar, sè a frè m nan, Absalom.”
5 And Jonadab said to him: “Lie down upon your bed, and feign sickness. And when your father will come to visit you, say to him: ‘I ask you to let my sister Tamar come to me, so that she may give me food, and may make a small meal, so that I may eat it from her hand.’”
Alò, Jonadab te di li: “Kouche sou kabann ou e fè kòmsi ou malad. Lè papa ou vin wè ou, di li: ‘Souple, kite sè m nan, Tamar vin ban m manje. Kite li prepare manje a devan zye m, pou mwen kapab wè li e manje manje a soti nan men li.’”
6 And so, Amnon lay down, and he began to act as if he were ill. And when the king had come to visit him, Amnon said to the king, “I beg you to let my sister Tamar come to me, and make in my sight two little portions of food, so that I take it from her hand.”
Konsa, Amnon te kouche e te fè tankou li te malad. Lè wa a te vin wè li, Amnon te di a wa a: “Souple, kite sè m nan, Tamar vini fè kèk gato devan zye m, pou m kab manje nan men li.”
7 Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him.”
Alò, David te voye lakay pou Tamar. Li te di: “Ale koulye a lakay frè ou a, Amnon e prepare manje pou li.”
8 And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.
Konsa, Tamar te ale lakay Amnon pandan li te kouche a. Li te pran boul pen an, li te fwote l, li te fè gato devan zye li e te kwit gato yo.
9 And taking what she had cooked, she poured it out, and she set it before him. But he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Send everyone away from me.” And when they had sent everyone away,
Li te pran chodyè a pou te lonje mete yo devan li, men li te refize manje. Epi Amnon te di: “Fè tout moun sòti devan m.” Konsa tout moun te sòti devan li.
10 Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat from your hand.” Therefore, Tamar took the little portions of food that she had made, and she brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
Alò, Amnon te di a Tamar: “Mennen manje a nan chanm dòmi mwen an, pou m kab manje li nan men ou.” Konsa, Tamar te pran gato ke li te fè yo e te mennen yo antre nan chanm dòmi kote frè li a, Amnon.
11 And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “Come lie with me, my sister.”
Lè li te mennen kote li pou manje, Amnon te kenbe li e te di li: “Vin kouche avè m, sè mwen.”
12 She answered him: “Do not do so, my brother! Do not force me. For no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not choose to do this senseless act.
Men li te reponn li: “Non, frè mwen, pa vyole mwen! Paske bagay konsa yo pa fèt an Israël. Pa fè dega sila a!
13 For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to you.”
Pou mwen menm, kote mwen ta kab livre a wont sa a? Epi pou ou menm, ou va tankou yon moun ranpli avèk foli an Israël. Pou sa, souple, pale avèk wa a, paske li p ap anpeche ou pran m.”
14 But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.
Sepandan, li pa t koute li. Akoz Amnon te pi fò pase li, li te vyole li, e te kouche avèk li.
15 And Amnon held hatred for her with an exceedingly great hatred, so much so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Amnon said to her, “Rise up, and go away.”
Epi Amnon te vin rayi li avèk yon trè gwo rayisman. Rayisman avèk sila li te rayi li a te pi gran pase renmen avèk sila li te renmen li an. Amnon te di li: “Leve, sòti!”
16 And she answered him, “This evil is greater, which you are now doing against me in driving me away, than what you did before.” But he was not willing to listen to her.
Men li te di a li: “Non, paske mal sa a ke w ap fè nan voye m ale a pi mal pase lòt ke ou te fè m nan!” Men li pa t koute li.
17 Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind her.”
Alò, li te rele jennonm ki t ap okipe li a, e te di: “Koulye a, jete fanm sa deyò prezans mwen e kadnase pòt la dèyè l.”
18 Now she was clothed with an ankle-length robe. For the virgin daughters of the king made use of this kind of garment. And so, his servant cast her out, and he closed the door behind her.
Alò, li te genyen yon rad avèk manch long, paske se te konsa fi vyèj a wa yo te konn abiye an manto. Epi sèvitè l te mennen Tamar deyò e te kadnase pòt la dèyè li.
19 And she sprinkled ashes upon her head, and she tore her ankle-length robe. And placing her hands upon her head, she went forth, walking and crying out.
Tamar te mete sann yo sou tèt li e te chire manch long yo nan rad sou li a. Li te mete men li sou tèt li, li te sòti e t ap kriye fò pandan li prale a.
20 Then her brother Absalom said to her: “Has your brother Amnon lain with you? But now, sister, be quiet. For he is your brother. And you should not afflict your heart because of this matter.” And so, Tamar remained, wasting away in the house of her brother Absalom.
Alò, Absalom, frè li a te di li: “Èske Amnon, frè ou a te avèk ou? Men koulye a, rete an silans, sè mwen, li se frè ou. Pa mete afè sa a sou kè.” Pou sa, Tamar te rete e te dezole lakay Absalom, frè li a.
21 And when king David had heard about these things, he was deeply grieved. But he was not willing to afflict the spirit of his son Amnon. For he loved him, since he was his firstborn.
Alò, lè David te tande tout koze sila yo, li te vin byen fache.
22 Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.
Men Absalom pa t pale ak Amnon anyen, ni bon, ni mal; paske Absalom te rayi Amnon akoz li te vyole sè li a, Tamar.
23 Then, after the time of two years, it happened that the sheep of Absalom were being shorn in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.
Alò, li te vin rive apre dezan nèt ke Absalom te gen moun pou taye lenn mouton Baal-Hatsor ki toupre Ephraïm, e Absalom te envite tout fis a wa yo.
24 And he went to the king, and he said to him: “Behold, the sheep of your servant are being shorn. I ask that the king, with his servants, may come to his servant.”
Absalom te vin kote wa a e te di: “Gade byen, sèvitè ou a genyen moun k ap taye lenn mouton. Souple, kite wa a avèk sèvitè li yo ale avèk sèvitè ou.”
25 And the king said to Absalom: “Do not, my son, do not choose to ask that we may all come and be a burden to you.” Then, after he urged him, and he had refused to go, he blessed him.
Men wa a te di a Absalom: “Non, fis mwen, se pa tout moun ki pou ale, paske nou va yon fado pou ou.” Malgre li te ankouraje li, li pa t ale, men li te beni li.
26 And Absalom said, “If you are not willing to come, I beg you, at least let my brother Amnon come with us.” And the king said to him, “It is not necessary that he go with you.”
Alò, Absalom te di: “Si se pa sa, souple kite frè m nan, Amnon, ale avèk nou.” Epi wa a te di li: “Poukisa li dwe ale avèk ou?”
27 But Absalom pressed him, and so he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king. And Absalom made a feast, like the feast of a king.
Men lè Absalom te ankouraje li, li te kite Amnon avèk tout fis a wa yo ale avèk li.
28 Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying: “Observe when Amnon will have become drunk with wine. And when I say to you, ‘Strike and kill him!’ do not be afraid. For it is I who commands you. Be strong and valiant men.”
Absalom te kòmande sèvitè li yo. Li te di: “Gade koulye a, lè kè Amnon kontan avèk diven an, lè mwen di nou: ‘Frape Amnon’, alò, mete li a lanmò. Pa pè! Èske se pa mwen menm ki kòmande nou? Pran kouraj e rete brav.”
29 Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon his mule and fled.
Sèvitè a Absalom yo te fè Amnon jis jan ke Absalom te kòmande a. Epi tout fis a wa yo te leve monte milèt pa yo e te sove ale.
30 And while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”
Alò, se te pandan ke yo te nan wout la yon rapò te rive kote David ki te di: “Absalom te frape fè tonbe tout fis a wa yo e nanpwen youn nan yo ki te rete.”
31 And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near him, tore their garments.
Konsa, wa a te leve. Li te chire rad li e te kouche atè, epi tout sèvitè li yo te kanpe akote avèk rad yo chire.
32 But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
Jonadab, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te reponn: “Pa kite mèt mwen an sipoze ke yo te mete a lanmò tout jennonm yo, fis a wa yo. Se sèl Ammon ki mouri. Se sa ki te entansyon Absalom. Afè sa a te vin detèmine depi jou ke li te vyole sè li a, Tamar.
33 Now therefore, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ For only Amnon is dead.”
Alò pou sa, pa kite mèt mwen, wa a, pran rapò sa a a kè, ki vle di ‘tout fis a wa yo mouri’, paske se sèl Amnon ki mouri.”
34 Now Absalom fled. And the young man keeping watch, lifted up his eyes and gazed out. And behold, many people were arriving along a remote road at the side of the mountain.
Alò, Absalom te sove ale deja. Epi jennonm ki te gadyen an te leve zye li gade e vwala, anpil moun t ap vini soti nan wout la dèyè li akote baz mòn nan.
35 And Jonadab said to the king: “Behold, the sons of the king are here. In accord with the word of your servant, so it has happened.”
Jonadab te di a wa a: “Gade byen, men fis a wa yo gen tan vini! Menm jan avèk pawòl sèvitè ou a, se konsa sa fèt.”
36 And when he had ceased speaking, the sons of the king also appeared. And entering, they lifted up their voice, and they wept. And the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceedingly great weeping.
Depi li fin pale a, vwala, fis a wa yo te vini e te leve vwa yo pou te kriye. Konsa, wa la menm, avèk tout sèvitè li yo te kriye byen anmè.
37 But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.
Men Absalom te sove ale e te ale kote Talmaï, fis a Ammihur a, wa a Gueschur a. David te kriye fè lamantasyon pou fis li a chak jou.
38 Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for three years.
Konsa, Absalom te sove ale nan Gueschur e te rete la, pandan twazan.
39 And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.
Wa David te byen vle ale kote Absalom, paske li te pran rekonfò konsènan Amnon, akoz li te mouri.
