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.
Abusaalomu, mutabani wa Dawudi yalina mwannyina omulungi, omubalagavu erinnya lye Tamali, naye Amunoni omu ku batabani ba Dawudi omulala n’ayagala okwebaka naye.
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 n’atawaana nnyo mu nsonga eyo n’okulwala n’alwala, kubanga Tamali yali mbeerera, Amunoni n’akisanga nga kizibu okumufuna.
3 But Amnon had a friend called Ionadab, the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother: and Ionadab was a very subtile man.
Naye Amunoni yalina mukwano gwe ennyo, eyayitibwanga Yonadabu mutabani wa Simeeya mukulu wa Dawudi, eyali omusajja omukujjukujju.
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.
N’abuuza Amunoni nti, “Kiki ekikutawanyanga buli nkya, ggwe omwana wa kabaka? Lwaki tombulira?” Amunoni n’amugamba nti, “Njagala Tamali, mwannyina Abusaalomu muganda wange.”
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.
Yonadabu n’amugamba nti, “Genda mu kitanda weefuule okuba omulwadde. Kitaawo bw’anajja okukulaba mugambe nti, ‘Gamba mwannyinaze Tamali ajje ampe ku kyokulya. Mukkirize anteekereteekere ekyokulya nga mmulabako n’amaaso, n’oluvannyuma andiise.’”
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.
Awo Amunoni n’agenda n’agalamira ku kitanda kye ne yeefuula okuba omulwadde; kabaka bwe yagenda okumulaba n’okumusaasira, Amunoni n’amugamba nti, “Nkwegayiridde, kkiriza Tamali ajje anfumbire emigaati nga mulaba ku maaso, n’oluvannyuma andiise.”
7 Then Dauid sent home to Tamar, saying, Goe now to thy brother Amnons house, and dresse him meate.
Awo Dawudi n’atumya Tamali n’amugamba nti, “Genda ewa muganda wo Amunoni mu nnyumba ye, omuteekereteekere ekyokulya.”
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.
Tamali n’agenda ewa Amunoni n’amusanga ng’agalamidde ku kitanda kye. Tamali n’addira obuwunga n’abukanda, n’akola emigaati Amunoni ng’alaba, n’agifumba.
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.
Tamali n’addira olukalango, n’aluggyako bye yafumbirako, Amunoni ng’alaba naye n’agaana okulya. Awo Amunoni n’alagira abaddu be nti, “Buli muntu afulume.” Buli muntu n’afuluma, n’asigalamu ne Tamali.
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.
Amunoni n’agamba Tamali nti, “Ndeetera emmere eno mu kisenge kyange, ondiise.” Awo Tamali n’addira emigaati gy’afumbye, n’agitwalira Amunoni mwannyina mu kisenge kye.
11 And when she had set them before him to eate, he tooke her, and sayd vnto her, Come, lye with me, my sister.
Naye bwe yagimusembereza okulya n’amukwata, n’amugamba nti, “Jjangu weebake nange, mwannyinaze.”
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.
N’amuddamu nti, “Nedda, mwannyinaze, tonkwata n’amaanyi. Ekyo tekikolwa mu Isirayiri. Tokola kya kivve bwe kityo.
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.
Nsaasira, nnadda wa obuswavu? Ate ggwe, onoobeera ng’omu ku basajja abasirusiru mu Isirayiri. Nkwegayiridde yogera ne kabaka, tajja kukuziyiza nkufumbirwe.”
14 Howbeit he would not hearken vnto her voyce, but being stronger then she, forced her, and lay with her.
Naye n’agaana okumuwuliriza, n’amukwata olw’empaka, kubanga yali amusinza amaanyi, ne yeebaka naye.
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.
Oluvannyuma Amunoni n’amukyawa nnyo nnyini, okusinga ne bwe yamwagala, n’amulagira nti, “Golokoka ofulume.”
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,
Tamali n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda! Okungoba kibi okusinga ekikolwa ky’onkoze.” Naye n’agaana okumuwuliriza.
17 But called his seruant that serued him, and sayd, Put this woman now out from me, and locke the doore after her.
N’ayita omuddu ey’amuweerezanga n’amugamba nti, “Omukazi oyo muggye mu maaso gange, omuggalire ebweru.”
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.
Awo omuddu we n’afulumya Tamali ebweru, n’aggalawo oluggi. Yali ayambadde ekyambalo ekiwanvu nga ky’amabala mangi, kubanga eyo ye yabeeranga ennyambala ey’abambejja embeerera.
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.
Tamali n’ateeka evvu mu mutwe gwe, n’ayuza ekyambalo kye, n’ateeka omukono ku mutwe gwe n’agenda ng’akaaba.
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.
Abusaalomu mwannyina n’amubuuza nti, “Obadde ne mwannyoko Amunoni? Sirikawo mwannyinaze, oyo mwannyoko. Ekyo kireme okukunakuwaza.” Awo Tamali n’abeeranga ne mwannyina Abusaalomu, nga mukazi munaku.
21 But when King Dauid heard all these things, he was very wroth.
Kabaka Dawudi bwe yakiwulira, n’asunguwala nnyo.
22 And Absalom sayde vnto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Naye Abusaalomu n’atabaako kigambo ky’ayogera ne Amunoni, ekirungi oba ekibi, kyokka n’akyawa Amunoni kubanga yayonoonyesa Tamali mwannyina.
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.
Bwe waayitawo emyaka ebiri nga kiseera kya kusala ebyoya by’endiga, ng’abasazi ba Abusaalomu bali e Baalukazoli, ekiriraanye Efulayimu, Abusaalomu n’ayita abaana ba kabaka bonna.
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.
Abusaalomu n’agenda eri kabaka n’amugamba nti, “Omuddu wo alina abasazi ab’ebyoya by’endiga baaleese. Nkusaba kabaka n’abakungu be, mujje munjagulizeeko.”
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.
Kabaka n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda, mwana wange. Ffenna bwe tunajja, tujja kuzitoowerera.” Abusaalomu n’amwegayirira nga bw’amuwaliriza, naye n’agaana okugenda, wabula n’amusabira omukisa.
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?
Awo Abusaalomu n’amugamba nti, “Ggwe bw’oba nga tojje, nkwegayiridde okkirize Amunoni agende naffe.” Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Lwaki Amunoni agenda nammwe?”
27 But Absalom was instant vpon him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the Kings children.
Naye Abusaalomu n’amwegayirira nnyo okutuusa bwe yakkiriza Amunoni n’abaana ba kabaka bonna okugenda naye.
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.
Awo Abusaalomu n’alagira abaddu be nti, “Muwulire! Mugenderere okulaba Amunoni ng’atudde, n’omutima gwe nga musanyuukirivu; bwe n’abagamba nti, ‘mutte Amunoni,’ mumutte. Temutya, si nze mpadde ekiragiro? Mube n’amaanyi era mube bazira.”
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.
Awo abasajja ba Abusaalomu ne batta Amunoni nga Abusaalomu bwe yabalagira. Abaana ba kabaka bonna ne basituka ne beebagala buli muntu ennyumbu ye ne badduka.
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.
Bwe baali bakyali mu kkubo, amawulire ne gatuuka eri Dawudi nti, “Abusaalomu asse abaana ba kabaka bonna, era tewasigadde n’omu.”
31 Then the King arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the ground, and all his seruants stoode by with their clothes rent.
Kabaka n’agolokoka n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, ne yeebaka mu ttaka n’abaddu be bonna abaaliwo ne bayuza ebyambalo byabwe.
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.
Naye Yonadabu mutabani wa Simeeya, mukulu wa Dawudi, n’ayogera nti, “Mukama wange kabaka aleme okulowooza nga basse abalangira bonna, Amunoni yekka y’afudde. Era ekyo kye kyali ekigendererwa kya Abusaalomu okuva ku lunaku Amunoni lwe yakwata Tamali mwannyina.
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.
Noolwekyo mukama wange kabaka aleme okweraliikirira olw’amawulire g’afunye agagamba nti abaana ba kabaka bonna bafudde. Amunoni yekka ye afudde.”
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.
Kyokka Abusaalomu n’adduka. Omuvubuka omukuumi n’ayimusa amaaso ge, n’alengera abantu bangi mu kkubo ery’ebugwanjuba nga bakkirira ku mabbali g’olusozi.
35 And Ionadab said vnto the King, Behold, ye Kings sonnes come: as thy seruant sayd, so it is.
Awo Yonadabu n’agamba kabaka nti, “Laba abaana ba kabaka bajja; kituukiridde omuddu wo kye yayogedde.”
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.
Bwe yali yakamala okwogera, abaana ba kabaka ne bayingira nga bakuba ebiwoobe. Kabaka n’abaddu be nabo ne bakaaba nnyo nnyini.
37 But Absalom fled away, and went to Talmai the sonne of Ammihur King of Geshur: and Dauid mourned for his sonne euery day.
Abusaalomu ye n’addukira eri Talumaayi mutabani wa Ammikuli, kabaka w’e Gesuli, Dawudi n’amukaabiranga buli lunaku.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three yeeres.
Abusaalomu n’amala e Gesuli emyaka esatu.
39 And King Dauid desired to go forth vnto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Naye omutima gwa Dawudi ne gwegomba okulaba ku Abusaalomu, kubanga yali akubagizibbwa olw’okufa kwa Amunoni.
