< 2 Samuel 13 >
1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David having a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the son of David loved her.
Patapita nthawi, Amnoni mwana wa Davide anakonda Tamara, mlongo wa Abisalomu, mwana wa Davide, amene anali wokongola.
2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed difficult for Amnon to do the least thing to her.
Amnoni sankagona tulo mpaka anadwala chifukwa cha Tamara mlongo wakeyo, pakuti iye anali asanagonepo ndi mwamuna ndipo zimaoneka kuti zinali zosatheka kuti achite chilichonse kwa iye.
3 And Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.
Koma Amnoni anali ndi mnzake dzina lake Yehonadabu mwana wamwamuna wa Simea, mʼbale wake wa Davide. Yonadabu anali munthu wochenjera kwambiri.
4 And he said to him, Why dost thou, the king's son, get thinner from morning to morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
Iye anafunsa Amnoni, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani iwe mwana wa mfumu, umaoneka wowonda mmawa uliwonse? Bwanji wosandiwuza?” Amnoni anamuyankha kuti, “Ine ndamukonda Tamara, mlongo wa mʼbale wanga Abisalomu.”
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed and feign thyself sick; and when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.
Yehonadabu anati, “Pita ukagone ndipo unamizire kudwala. Abambo ako akabwera kudzakuona, udzati kwa iwo, Ine ndikufuna mlongo wanga Tamara abwere kuti adzandikonzere chakudya kuti ndidye. Adzandikonzere chakudyacho ine ndikumuona ndi kudya chili mʼmanja mwake.”
6 So Amnon lay down and feigned himself sick; and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.
Kotero Amnoni anagona nakhala ngati akudwala. Mfumu itabwera kudzamuona, Amnoni anati kwa iyo, “Ine ndikufuna mlongo wanga Tamara kuti abwere adzandipangire buledi wapamwamba ineyo ndikuona, kuti ndidye ali mʼmanja mwake.”
7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go, I pray thee, to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.
Davide anatumiza mawu kwa Tamara ku nyumba yaufumu kuti, “Pita ku nyumba ya mlongo wako Amnoni ndipo ukamukonzere chakudya.”
8 And Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he had lain down. And she took flour and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
Choncho Tamara anapitadi ku nyumba ya mlongo wake Amnoni kumalo kumene ankagona. Anakanda ufa, nawumba buledi Amunoniyo akuona ndipo anaphika bulediyo.
9 And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Put every man out from me. And they went out every man from him.
Kenaka iye anatenga chiwaya ndipo anamupatsa bulediyo, koma iyeyo anakana. Amnoni anati “Uza aliyense atuluke muno.” Ndipo aliyense anatuluka.
10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the dish into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
Kenaka Amnoni anati kwa Tamara, “Bweretsa chakudya kuno, ku chipinda changa chogona kuti ndidye chili mʼmanja mwako.” Ndipo Tamara anatenga buledi amene anapanga ndi kubwera naye kwa mlongo wake ku chipinda chake.
11 And she presented them to him to eat; and he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
Koma atabweretsa kwa iye kuti adye, anamugwira ndipo anati, “Bwera ugone nane, iwe mlongo wanga.”
12 And she said to him, No, my brother, do not humble me; for no such thing is done in Israel: do not this infamy.
Tamara anati kwa iye, “Ayi mlongo wanga! Usandikakamize. Zotere siziyenera kuchitika mu Israeli! Usachite chinthu choyipa chotere.
13 And I, whither shall I carry my reproach? and thou wouldest be as one of the infamous in Israel. And now, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
Kodi ukuganiza bwanji za ine? Kodi manyazi anga ndidzawachotsa bwanji? Ndipo nanga iweyo? Udzakhalatu monga mmodzi mwa zitsiru zoyipitsitsa muno mu Israeli. Chonde kapemphe kwa mfumu. Sadzakuletsa kuti undikwatire.”
14 But he would not hearken to her voice, and was stronger than she, and humbled her and lay with her.
Koma sanamvere zimene amanena Tamara ndipo popeza anali wamphamvu kuposa Tamarayo, iye anamugwirira.
15 And Amnon hated her with an exceeding 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.
Atatero Amnoni anadana naye kwambiri. Iyeyo anamuda kuposa momwe anamukondera. Amnoni anati, “Dzuka ndipo tuluka!”
16 And she said to him, There is no cause for this evil in sending me away, [which] is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her.
Iye anayankha, “Ayi! Kundithamangitsa kukhala kulakwa kwakukulu kuposa zimene wachita kale kwa ine.” Koma anakana kumumvera.
17 Then he called his young man that attended upon him, and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.
Amnoni anayitana wantchito wake ndipo anati, “Mutulutse mkazi uyu muno ndipo utseke chitseko akatuluka.”
18 Now she had a vest of many colours upon her; for so were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. And his attendant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
Choncho wantchito wakeyo anamutulutsa ndipo anatseka chitseko atatuluka. Tamara anali atavala mkanjo wokongoletsedwa kwambiri, pakuti ichi chinali chovala chimene ana aakazi a mfumu amene sanagonepo ndi mwamuna amavala.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her vest of many colours which was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying out as she went.
Tamara anatsira phulusa pamutu pake ndipo anangʼamba mkanjo wokongoletsedwa umene anavalawo. Iye anagwira manja ake kumutu ndipo anachoka, akulira mokweza pamene amapita.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, be still: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. And Tamar remained, and [that] desolate, in her brother Absalom's house.
Mlongo wake Abisalomu anati, “Kodi Amnoni uja mlongo wako wagona nawe? Khala chete mlongo wanga. Iye uja ndi mlongo wako ndipo usazilabadire.” Choncho Tamara anakhala mʼnyumba ya Abisalomu mlongo wake ngati woferedwa.
21 And king David heard of all these things, and he was very angry.
Mfumu Davide itamva zimenezi, inakwiya kwambiri.
22 And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had humbled his sister Tamar.
Abisalomu sananene mawu aliwonse kwa Amnoni; abwino kapena oyipa. Iye anamuda Amunoniyo chifukwa anachititsa manyazi mlongo wake Tamara.
23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
Patapita zaka ziwiri, pamene wometa nkhosa za Abisalomu anali ku Baala-Hazori pafupi ndi malire a fuko la Efereimu, iye anayitana ana onse aamuna a mfumu kuti apite kumeneko.
24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold, now, thy servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
Abisalomu anapita kwa mfumu ndipo anati, “Ometa nkhosa za mtumiki wanu anabwera. Chonde mfumu ndi akuluakulu anu mubwere kudzakhala nane?”
25 And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.
Mfumu inayankha kuti, “Ayi mwana wanga, tisapite tonsefe. Tidzakhala cholemetsa kwa iwe.” Ngakhale Abisalomu anayesetsa kuwumiriza mfumuyo, inakana kupita. Mʼmalo mwake inangomudalitsa Abisalomuyo.
26 And 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?
Kenaka Abisalomu anati, “Ngati sizitero, chonde mulole mʼbale wanga Amnoni apite nane.” Mfumu inamufunsa kuti, “Apite nawe chifukwa chiyani?”
27 But Absalom pressed him; and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
Koma Abisalomu anamuwumiriza, kotero analola kuti Amnoni pamodzi ndi ana onse a mfumu apite naye.
28 And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then slay him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
Abisalomu analamula antchito ake kuti, “Tamverani! Amnoni akakaledzera ndi vinyo ndipo ine ndikakanena kuti, ‘Mukantheni Amnoni,’ pamenepo mukamuphe. Musakachite mantha. Kodi ine sindinakulamuleni? Mukhale amphamvu ndipo mulimbe mtima.”
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and they rode each upon his mule and fled.
Kotero antchito a Abisalomu anachita kwa Amnoni zimene Abisalomu anawalamula. Kenaka ana onse a mfumu anayimirira ndipo anakwera pa abulu awo nathawa.
30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
Ali mʼnjira, Davide anamva mphekesera yakuti, “Abisalomu wakantha ana onse a mfumu ndipo palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene watsala.”
31 Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their garments rent.
Mfumu inayimirira, ningʼamba zovala zake ndi kugona pa dothi. Antchito ake onse anayimirira pomwepo atangʼamba zovala zawo.
32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain 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 humbled his sister Tamar.
Koma Yehonadabu mwana wa Simea, mʼbale wake wa Davide anati, “Mbuye wanga mfumu musaganize kuti wapha ana onse a mfumu; wafa ndi Amnoni yekha. Awa ndiwo akhala maganizo a Abisalomu kuyambira tsiku limene Amnoni anagwirira mlongo wake Tamara.
33 And now let not my lord the king take the thing to heart, to say, All the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.
Mbuye wanga mfumu musavutike ndi maganizo ndi nkhani yoti ana onse a mfumu afa. Wafa ndi Amnoni yekha.”
34 And Absalom fled. And the young man that watched lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there came much people from the way behind him, from the hill-side.
Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Abisalomu atathawa. Tsono munthu amene amalondera anayangʼana ndipo anaona anthu ambiri pa msewu wa kumadzulo kwake, akubwera kutsetsereka phiri. Mlondayo anapita kukawuza mfumu kuti, “Ndikuona anthu pa njira ya Horonaimu, mʼmbali mwa phiri.”
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
Yehonadabu anati kwa mfumu, “Taonani ana a mfumu afika. Zachitika monga momwe mtumiki wanu ananenera.”
36 And as soon as he had ended speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.
Pamene amatsiriza kuyankhula, ana a mfumu analowa, akulira mofuwula. Mfumunso ndi antchito ake onse analira mokhudzidwa.
37 And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.
Abisalomu anathawa, napita kwa Talimai mwana wa Amihudi, mfumu ya ku Gesuri. Koma mfumu Davide inalira mwana wake tsiku ndi tsiku.
38 Now Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Abisalomu atathawa ndi kupita ku Gesuri, anakhala kumeneko zaka zitatu.
39 And king David longed to go forth to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Ndipo Davide anagwidwa ndi chifundo chofuna kumulondola Abisalomu pakuti anali atatonthozedwa pa imfa ya Amnoni.
