2 Samuel 13
1 Now after this so it was, that Absalom the sonne of Dauid hauing a fayre sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the sonne of Dauid loued her.
Thuutha wa mahinda macio-rĩ, Abisalomu mũrũ wa Daudi aarĩ na mwarĩ wa nyina mũthaka mũno wetagwo Tamaru, nake Amunoni mũrũ wa Daudi akĩmwenda mũno.
2 And Amnon was so sore vexed, that he fell sicke for his sister Tamar: for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to doe any thing to her.
Amunoni agĩtangĩka nginya agĩĩtua nĩ mũrũaru nĩ ũndũ wa mwarĩ wa ithe Tamaru, nĩgũkorwo aarĩ mũirĩtu gathirange, na nĩonaga arĩ hinya kũmwĩka ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ.
3 But Amnon had a friend called Ionadab, the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother: and Ionadab was a very subtile man.
Na rĩrĩ, Amunoni aarĩ na mũratawe wetagwo Jonadabu mũrũ wa Shimea, mũrũ wa nyina na Daudi. Jonadabu aarĩ mũndũ mwara mũno.
4 Who sayde vnto him, Why art thou the Kings sonne so leane from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? Then Amnon answered him, I loue Tamar my brother Absaloms sister.
Akĩũria Amunoni atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wee mũrũ wa mũthamaki woneke o ũkĩhinyĩrĩrĩka rũciinĩ o rũciinĩ? Kaĩ ũtangĩnjĩĩra gĩtũmi?” Amunoni akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kwenda nyendeete Tamaru, mwarĩ wa nyina na Abisalomu mũrũ wa baba.”
5 And Ionadab sayd vnto him, Lie downe on thy bed, and make thy selfe sicke: and when thy father shall come to see thee, say vnto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and giue me meate, and let her dresse meate in my sight, that I may see it, and eate it of her hand.
Jonadabu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũrĩrĩ na wĩtue atĩ ũrĩ mũrũaru. Rĩrĩa thoguo arĩũka gũkuona, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘No nyende mwarĩ wa baba Tamaru oke aahe kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa. Andugĩre irio ngĩonaga, nĩguo ndĩmuone, na ningĩ ndĩe acinyiitĩte na guoko gwake.’”
6 So Amnon lay downe, and made himselfe sicke: and when the King came to see him, Amnon sayde vnto the King, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may receiue meate at her hand.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Amunoni agĩkoma na agĩĩtua nĩ mũrũaru. Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki ookire kũmuona, Amunoni akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No nyende mwarĩ wa baba Tamaru oke aathondekere tũmĩgate ngĩonaga, nĩguo ndĩe anyiitĩte na guoko gwake.”
7 Then Dauid sent home to Tamar, saying, Goe now to thy brother Amnons house, and dresse him meate.
Daudi agĩtũmanĩra Tamaru nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ nyũmba ya mũrũ wa thoguo Amunoni, ũmũthondekere irio.”
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnons house, and he lay downe: and she tooke floure, and knead it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Tamaru agĩthiĩ nyũmba ya mũrũ wa ithe Amunoni, akĩmũkora akomete. Akĩoya mũtu, akĩũkanda, agĩthondeka mũgate Amunoni akĩmuonaga, na akĩũruga.
9 And she tooke a pan, and powred them out before him, but he would not eat. Then Amnon saide, Cause ye euery man to goe out from me: so euery man went out from him.
Agĩcooka akĩoya rũgĩo, akĩmũihũrĩra mũgate, nowe akĩrega kũrĩa. Amunoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ othe nĩmeherio haha.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe makiuma nja, makĩmũtiga.
10 Then Amnon said vnto Tamar, Bring the meate into the chamber, that I may eate of thine hand. And Tamar tooke the cakes which shee had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Amunoni akĩĩra Tamaru atĩrĩ, “Ndehera irio haha nyũmba yakwa ya toro, nĩguo ndĩe ũcinyiitĩte na guoko gwaku.” Nake Tamaru akĩoya mũgate ũrĩa aathondekete, akĩũtwarĩra mũrũ wa ithe Amunoni nyũmba yake ya toro.
11 And when she had set them before him to eate, he tooke her, and sayd vnto her, Come, lye with me, my sister.
No rĩrĩa aamũtwarĩire nĩguo arĩe, Amunoni akĩmũnyiita, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũka ngome nawe, mwarĩ wa baba.”
12 But shee answered him, Nay, my brother, doe not force me: for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: commit not this follie.
Nake akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, mũrũ wa baba! Tiga kũnyiita na hinya. Ũndũ ta ũyũ ndwagĩrĩire gwĩkwo Isiraeli! Tiga gwĩka ũndũ ũyũ wa waganu.
13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to goe? and thou shalt be as one of the fooles in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, speake to the King, for he will not denie me vnto thee.
Ha ũhoro wakwa naguo atĩa? Thoni ciakwa ingĩcitwara nakũ? O nawe-rĩ, ũhoro waku ũgũikara atĩa? Ũkuoneka ũhaana ta mũndũ ũmwe wa andũ arĩa aaganu na akĩĩgu thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli. Ndagũthaitha aria na mũthamaki; tondũ ndangĩgiria ũũhikie.”
14 Howbeit he would not hearken vnto her voyce, but being stronger then she, forced her, and lay with her.
Nowe akĩrega kũmũigua, na tondũ aarĩ na hinya kũmũkĩra, akĩmũnyiita na agĩkoma nake na hinya.
15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred wherewith he hated her, was greater then the loue, wherewith hee had loued her: and Amnon sayde vnto her, Vp, get thee hence.
Ningĩ Amunoni akĩmũthũũra na rũthũũro rũnene makĩria. Ti-itherũ, aamũthũũrire gũkĩra ũrĩa aamwendete. Amunoni akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra, wehere haha!”
16 And she answered him, There is no cause: this euill (to put mee away) is greater then the other that thou diddest vnto me: but he would not heare her,
Tamaru akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca! Kũnyingata thiĩ nĩ ihĩtia inene makĩria gũkĩra ũguo wanjĩka.” Nowe akĩrega kũmũigua.
17 But called his seruant that serued him, and sayd, Put this woman now out from me, and locke the doore after her.
Nake Amunoni agĩĩta ndungata yake, akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Eheria mũndũ-wa-nja ũyũ haha, na oima ũhinge mũrango.”
18 (And she had a garment of diuers coulours vpon her: for with such garments were the Kings daughters that were virgins, apparelled) Then his seruant brought her out, and locked the doore after her.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndungata yake ĩkĩmũikia na nja, na ĩkĩhinga mũrango. Nake Tamaru eehumbĩte nguo ndaaya yagemetio na magemio ma goro, tondũ airĩtu arĩa gathirange a mũthamaki meehumbaga nguo ta ĩyo.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head and rent the garment of diuers colours which was on her, and layde her hand on her head, and went her way crying.
Tamaru akĩĩitĩrĩria mũhu mũtwe, na agĩtarũra nguo ĩyo ndaaya ngʼemie ĩrĩa eehumbĩte. Agĩcooka akĩigĩrĩra guoko gwake mũtwe, agĩthiĩ akĩrĩraga aanĩrĩire.
20 And Absalom her brother sayd vnto her, Hath Amnon thy brother bene with thee? Now yet be still, my sister: he is thy brother: let not this thing grieue thine heart. So Tamar remayned desolate in her brother Absaloms house.
Nake mũrũ wa nyina Abisalomu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ muuma na Amunoni, mũrũ wa thoguo? Rĩu ta gĩkire, mwarĩ wa maitũ, tondũ we nĩ mũrũ wa thoguo. Tiga kũigua ũũru ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũcio.” Nake Tamaru agĩtũũra mũciĩ kwa mũrũ wa nyina Abisalomu, arĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũrĩ na kĩeha kĩnene.
21 But when King Dauid heard all these things, he was very wroth.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũthamaki Daudi aiguire maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, akĩrakara mũno.
22 And Absalom sayde vnto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Abisalomu ndaigana kwaria na Amunoni ũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, mwega kana mũũru; nĩathũũrire Amunoni tondũ nĩaconorithĩtie mwarĩ wa nyina Tamaru.
23 And after the time of two yeeres, Absalom had sheepesherers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim, and Absalom called all the Kings sonnes.
Mĩaka ĩĩrĩ yathira, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa amuri a ngʼondu guoya a Abisalomu maarĩ kũu Baali-Hazoru hakuhĩ na mũhaka wa Efiraimu-rĩ, agĩĩta ariũ a mũthamaki othe mathiĩ kuo.
24 And Absalom came to the King and sayd, Beholde now, thy seruant hath sheepesherers: I pray thee, that the King with his seruants would goe with thy seruant.
Abisalomu agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndungata yaku nĩĩtĩte amuri ngʼondu guoya. Hihi mũthamaki na anene ake no moke tũkorwo hamwe.”
25 But the King answered Absalom, Nay my sonne, I pray thee, let vs not goe all, lest we be chargeable vnto thee. Yet Absalom lay sore vpon him: howbeit he would not go, but thanked him.
Mũthamaki agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca, mũrũ wakwa. Tũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũthiĩ ithuothe; twahota gũtuĩka mũrigo harĩwe.” O na gũtuĩka Abisalomu nĩamũthaithire-rĩ, nĩaregire biũ gũthiĩ, no akĩmũhe kĩrathimo gĩake.
26 Then sayd Absalom, But, I pray thee, shall not my brother Amnon goe with vs? And the king answered him, Why should he go with thee?
Ningĩ Abisalomu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo ti ũguo-rĩ, ndagũthaitha ũreke mũrũ wa baba Amunoni athiĩ na ithuĩ.” Nake mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma athiĩ na inyuĩ?”
27 But Absalom was instant vpon him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the Kings children.
Nowe Abisalomu akĩmũringĩrĩria, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩreka Amunoni mathiĩ nake, hamwe na ariũ acio angĩ a mũthamaki.
28 Now had Absalom commanded his seruants, saying, Marke now when Amnons heart is merry with wine, and when I say vnto you, Smite Amnon, kill him, feare not, for haue not I commanded you? be bold therefore, and play the men.
Abisalomu agĩatha andũ ake, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ta thikĩrĩriai! Rĩrĩa Amunoni arĩkorwo akenete nĩ kũnyua ndibei akarĩĩo, na inyuĩ ndĩmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ringai agwe thĩ,’ hĩndĩ ĩyo mũũragei. Mũtigetigĩre. Githĩ ti niĩ ndĩmũheete watho ũcio? Ũmĩrĩriai mũtuĩke njamba.”
29 And the seruantes of Absalom did vnto Amnon, as Absalom had commanded: and al the Kings sonnes arose, and euery man gate him vp vpon his mule, and fled.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Abisalomu magĩĩka Amunoni o ta ũrĩa Abisalomu aamaathĩte. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ariũ othe a mũthamaki magĩũkĩra, makĩhaica nyũmbũ ciao, makĩũra.
30 And while they were in the way, tydings came to Dauid, saying, Absalom hath slaine al the Kings sonnes, and there is not one of them left.
Marĩ njĩra-inĩ makĩũra-rĩ, ũhoro ũcio ũgĩkinyĩra Daudi, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Abisalomu nĩoragĩte ariũ othe a mũthamaki; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũtigarĩte.”
31 Then the King arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the ground, and all his seruants stoode by with their clothes rent.
Nake mũthamaki agĩũkĩra, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake, agĩkoma thĩ; o nacio ndungata ciake ikĩrũgama hakuhĩ nake, na igĩtembũranga nguo ciacio.
32 And Ionadab the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother answered and sayde, Let not my lord suppose that they haue slayne all the yong men the Kings sonnes: for Amnon onely is dead, because Absalom had reported so, since hee forced his sister Tamar.
No Jonadabu mũrũ wa Shimea, mũrũ wa nyina na Daudi, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, tiga gwĩciiria atĩ moragĩte ariũ othe a mũthamaki; no Amunoni wiki ũkuĩte. Ũndũ ũcio ũtũire ũrĩ muoroto wa Abisalomu kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa Amunoni aanyiitire mwarĩ wa nyina Tamaru na hinya.
33 Nowe therefore let not my lord the King take the thing so grieuously, to thinke that all ye Kings sonnes are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa ndagĩrĩirwo nĩkũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio wa atĩ ariũ othe a mũthamaki nĩmakuĩte. Amunoni nowe wiki ũkuĩte.”
34 Then Absalom fled: and the yong man that kept the watch, lift vp his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behinde him.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Abisalomu nĩakoretwo orĩte. Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa warangagĩra itũũra agĩcũthĩrĩria na akĩona andũ aingĩ njĩra-inĩ mwena wake wa ithũĩro, maikũrũkĩire mwena-inĩ wa kĩrĩma. Nake mũrangĩri agĩthiĩ akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩrona andũ mwena ũũrĩa wa Horonaimu, mwena-inĩ wa kĩrĩma.”
35 And Ionadab said vnto the King, Behold, ye Kings sonnes come: as thy seruant sayd, so it is.
Jonadabu akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ta kĩone, ariũ a mũthamaki marĩ haha; o ta ũrĩa ndungata yaku ĩkwĩrire, ũguo noguo gũtariĩ.”
36 And assoone as hee had left speaking, behold, the Kings sonnes came, and lift vp their voyces, and wept: and the King also and all his seruants wept exceedingly sore.
Na aarĩkia kwaria o ro ũguo-rĩ, ariũ a mũthamaki magĩũka makĩrĩraga na mũgambo mũnene. O nake mũthamaki na ndungata ciake ciothe makĩrĩra marĩ na ruo rũnene.
37 But Absalom fled away, and went to Talmai the sonne of Ammihur King of Geshur: and Dauid mourned for his sonne euery day.
Nake Abisalomu akĩũra agĩthiĩ gwa Talimai mũrũ wa Amihudi, mũthamaki wa Geshuru. Nowe Mũthamaki Daudi agĩcakaĩra mũriũ mũthenya o mũthenya.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three yeeres.
Thuutha wa Abisalomu kũũrĩra Geshuru, aikarire kuo mĩaka ĩtatũ.
39 And King Dauid desired to go forth vnto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Nayo ngoro ya mũthamaki nĩyeriragĩria gũthiĩ kũrĩ Abisalomu, tondũ nĩahooreretio ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ gĩkuũ kĩa Amunoni.
