2 Samuel 13
1 And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.
Te phoeiah om tih David capa Absalom tah a ngannu sakthen om. Anih ming tah Tamar tih David capa Amnon loh a lungnah.
2 And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.
A ngannu Tamar kong ah Amnon te tloh laa yuek. Anih te a oila pueng dongah khat khat a saii ham Amnon mik ah rhaisang.
3 Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:
Te vaengah David maya Shimeah capa, a ming ah Jonadab tah Amnon kah a paya la om. Jonadab tah bahoeng aka cueih hlang la om.
4 And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.
Te dongah anih te, “Ba aih lae mincang bal, mincang bal nang manghai capa he na tattloel aih. Kai taengah na thui mahpawt a?” a tinah. Te daengah Amnon loh, Ka manuca Absalom ngannu Tamar ka ngaih,” a tinah.
5 And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.
Te dongah anih te Jehonadab loh, “Na thingkong dongah satlo bangla yalh. NangTe sawt hamla na pa ha pawk vaengah amah taengah, 'Ka ngannu Tamar ha pawk laeh vetih kai buh n'tuh lah mako. Ka mikhmuh ah buhmaeha saii te ka hmu dae eh. Te daengah ni a kut dongkah ka caak eh?,’ ti nah,” a tinah.
6 So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.
AmnonTe satlo bangla yalh toengloeng tih anihTe sawt hamla manghai te ha pawk. Te vaengah Amnon loh manghai taengah, “Ka ngannu Tamar ha pawk laeh saeh lamtah ka mikhmuh ah vaidam panit ah saii saeh. Te daengah ni anih kut lamkah te ka caak eh?,” a tinah.
7 Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
Te dongah David loh Tamar tea im laa tah tih, “Na nganpa Amnon im la cet lamtah anih ham buhmaeh saii pah laeh,” a tinah.
8 And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.
TamarTe a nganpa Amnon im la a caeh vaengah anih te ana yalhpah. Vaidamtlam tea loh tih a duep, a duep phoeiah a mikhmuh aha saiipah. Te phoeiah vaidam tea thongpah.
9 And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,
Thi-am tea loh tih a mikhmh aha poep pah hatah caak hamlaa aal. Te phoeiah Amnon loh, “Ka taeng lamkah hlang he boeih tueih uh,” a tinah. Te dongah hlang boeihTe anih taeng lamloh nonguh.
10 Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.
Te phoeiah Amnon loh Tamar te, “Imkhui la buhmaeh hang khuen lamtah na kut dongah ka ca eh?,” a tinah. Te dongah vaidama saii te Tamar loh a loh tih imkhui kah a nganpa Amnon taenglaa kun puei.
11 And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
A caak ham a taengaha tawn pah vaengah tah amah te vik a tuuk tih, “Ka ngannu halo lamtah kamah neh yalh sih,” a tinah.
12 She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.
Tedae anih te, “Ka nganpa aw te tlam moenih, kai m'poeih boeh, Israel khuiah te bang te a saii noek moenih. Boethaehalang he saii boeh.
13 For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.
Kai he kamah kah kokhahnah neh melam ka caeh eh. Namah khaw Israel khuiah hlang ang boeiloeih bangla na om ve. Manghai taengah thui kanoek lamtah nang taengah tah kai khaw n'hloh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
14 But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
Tedae a ol te yaak ngaih pawh. A ngannuTe rhapa kop tiha yalh puei.
15 Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.
Te phoeiah tah anih te Amnon loh lat a hnoel tih a hmuhuetnah bahoenga nahpah. A thiinah vaengkah a hmuhuetnah tea lungnah vaengkah lungnah lakah nah. Te dongah anih te Amnon loh, “Thoo, cet laeh,” a tinah.
16 She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:
Amnon te, “He lakaha tloe la aka len boethae kah a kong a mai he a om moenih. Kai nan saii tih nan haek te,” a tinah. Tedae anih ol te yaak ngaih voel pawh.
17 But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.
Te dongah amah aka khut a taengca te, “Anih te kai taeng lamloh kawtpoeng la tueih uh lamtah anih hnukah thohkhaih te kalh laeh,” a tinah.
18 And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.
Te vaengah a pum dongah pendum angkidung a bai. Te bangTe manghai canu rhoek loh oila kah hnikul la a baiuh. Amnon aka khut loh Tamar te vongvoel la a thak tih a hnukah thohkhaih te kalh.
19 And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.
Tamar loh a lu dongah hmaiphua phul tih a pum dongkah pendum angkidung khaw a phen. Te phoeiah a kutTe a lu dongaha pingpoei tiha caeh, caeh doeah rhap.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.
Te dongah anih te a nganpa Absalom loh, “Na nganpa Amnon a nang taengah aka om? Ka ngannu na hilphah laeh aniha nang nganpa, he olka dongah na lungbuei khueh boeh,” a tinah. Te dongah Tamar tah a nganpa Absalom im ah kho a sak tih pong van.
21 And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.
Tedae he rhoek kah olka boeih te manghai David loh a yaak vaengah amah khaw muep sai coeng.
22 But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.
A ngannu Tamara poeih dongkah olka dongah Absalom loh Amnon te a hmuhuet tiha thaea then akhaw Absalom loh Amnon te voek pawh.
23 And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:
A kum khohnina pha vaengah Ephraim taengkah Baalhazor ah Absalom ham mul voka saii uh tih manghai ca rhoek boeih te Absalom loh a khue.
24 And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.
Te dongah AbsalomTe manghai taengla kun tih, “Na sal ham mul aka vo rhoek cet uh pawn ni ke, manghai namah neh, na sal neh a sal rhoekTe ta,” a tinah.
25 And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.
Manghai loh Absalom te, “Ka capa te tlam moenih, mamih boeih n'cet tarha mahpawh, Te daengah ni namah te n'nan pawt eh?,” a ti nah. A taengaha cahoeh ngawn dae paan pah ham tah huem pawt tih anihTe yoethen a paek.
26 And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.
Absalom loh, “Te pawt atah ka maya Amnon tah kaimih taengah m'paan mai mako,” a tinah. Tedae amah te manghai loh, “Balae tih nang te m'paan eh?,” a tinah.
27 But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.
Tedae anih te Absalom loh a cahoeh dongah Amnon neh manghai capa rhoek boeih te a taenglaa tueihpah.
28 And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.
Te vaengah Absalom loh a tueihyoeih rhoek tea uen tih, “Misurtui lamloh Amnon kah lungbueia umya vaengah hmu uh laeh, nangmih taengah, 'Amnon te ngawn uh lamtah duek sak uh, anih te rhih uh boeh, nangmih te kang uen pawt nim? Ning uh lamtah tatthai capa bangla om uh,’ ka ti,” a tinah.
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.
Te dongah Absalom kah a uen bangla Amnon te Absalom kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh a saiiuh. Te dongah manghai capa rhoek tah boeih thoo uh tih a muli-marhang dongah rhip ngol uh tih rhaelrhamuh.
30 And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
Amih te a longpueng uh vaengah olthang tah David taengla pawk coeng tih, “Absalom loh manghai capa rhoekTe boeiha ngawn tih amih te pakhat khaw a hlun moenih,” a tinah.
31 Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.
Te dongah manghai te thoo tih a himbai tea phen tih lai dongah yalh. Te vaengah a sal aka pai rhoek boeih long khaw himbai te a phenuh.
32 But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.
Tedae David maya Shimeah capa Jonadab loh a doo tih, “Ka boeipa loh manghai capa camoe rhoek la rhenten thui boeh. Amnon amah bueng ni a ngawnuh. A ngannu Tamar tea poeih pah hnin lamloh anihTe Absalom loh a ka dongaha ngawn tangtae la a khueh coeng.
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.
Te dongah manghai capa rhoek boeih duek coeng a ti olTe ka boeipa manghai loh a lungbuei ah khueh boel saeh. Amnon amah bueng ni a duek,” a tinah.
34 But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.
Absaloma yong vaengah rhaltawt camoe te a mik, mik ah a dan. Te vaengah anih hnukah tlang hlaep longpuei ah aka cet pilnamTe yetTe kaka hmuh.
35 And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
Te dongah Jonadab loh manghai taengah, “Manghai capa rhoek ha pawk uh coeng ke, na sal kah ol bangla om tangkhuet,” a tinah.
36 And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.
A thuiTe a khah van neh manghai capa rhoekTe pahoi ha pawkuh. Te vaengah a ola huel uh tih rhapuh. Te dongah manghai neh a sal rhoek boeih khaw rhahnah neh a nah la hluk hluk rhapuh.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.
AbsalomTe yong tih Geshur manghai Ammihud capa Talmai taengla cet. Tedae a capa dongah hnin takuem nguekcoi.
38 And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.
AbsalomTe yong tih Geshuri la aka cetTe kum thum pahoi om.
39 And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
Tedae David manghai tah Amnona duek dongah te hal tih Absalom taenglaa caeh ham khaw a toeng.
