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.
Ikawa baada ya hayo, Amnoni mwana wa Daudi akampenda Tamari, umbu lake Absalomu mwana wa Daudi, ambaye alikuwa mzuri wa sura.
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.
Amnoni akasumbuka sana kuhusu Tamari hata akaugua, kwa kuwa Tamari alikuwa bikira, na ilionekana kwamba haiwezekani Amnoni kumfanyia jambo lolote.
3 But Amnon had a friend called Ionadab, the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother: and Ionadab was a very subtile man.
Basi Amnoni alikuwa na rafiki jina lake Yonadabu mwana wa Shimea, nduguye Daudi. Yonadabu alikuwa mtu wa hila nyingi sana.
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.
Akamuuliza Amnoni, “Wewe ni mtoto wa mfalme; kwa nini siku baada ya siku unaonekana kukonda? Hutaniambia?” Amnoni akamwambia, “Ninampenda Tamari, dada yake Absalomu ndugu yangu.”
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 akamwambia, “Nenda ukalale kitandani na ujifanye kuwa mgonjwa. Baba yako atakapokuja kukuona mwambie, ‘Ningependa Tamari dada yangu aje kunipatia chochote ili nile. Tafadhali mruhusu aje na kuniandalia chakula mbele yangu ningali ninamwona, ili nipate kula kutoka mkononi mwake.’”
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.
Kwa hiyo Amnoni akalala kitandani kujifanya mgonjwa. Mfalme alipokuja kumwona, Amnoni akamwambia, “Ningependa dada yangu Tamari aje na kuniandalia mikate maalum mbele yangu, ili nipate kula toka mkononi mwake.”
7 Then Dauid sent home to Tamar, saying, Goe now to thy brother Amnons house, and dresse him meate.
Daudi akampelekea Tamari ujumbe huko kwenye jumba la kifalme, kusema: “Nenda katika nyumba ya ndugu yako Amnoni ukamwandalie chakula.”
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.
Kwa hiyo Tamari akaenda nyumbani kwa nduguye Amnoni, ndugu ambaye alikuwa amelala. Tamari akachukua unga uliotiwa chachu akaukanda, akaiandaa mikate mbele yake na kuioka.
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.
Tamari akaondoa mikate kwenye kikaango ili ampatie Amnoni, lakini akakataa kula. Amnoni akamwambia, “Mtoe nje kila mtu aliyeko hapa.” Kwa hiyo kila mmoja akaondoka.
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.
Ndipo Amnoni akamwambia Tamari, “Leta mkate hapa ndani ya chumba changu ili nipate kula kutoka mkononi mwako.” Basi Tamari akachukua mikate aliyoiandaa na kumletea Amnoni ndugu yake ndani ya chumba chake.
11 And when she had set them before him to eate, he tooke her, and sayd vnto her, Come, lye with me, my sister.
Lakini alipompelekea ili ale, akamkamata kwa nguvu na kumwambia, “Njoo ulale nami, dada yangu.”
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.
Akamwambia, “Usifanye hivyo, ndugu yangu! Usinitende jeuri! Jambo la namna hii halistahili kufanyika katika Israeli! Usitende jambo hili ovu.
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.
Kwa upande wangu je, itakuwaje? Nitaipeleka wapi aibu yangu? Pia kwa upande wako, itakuwaje? Utakuwa kama mmoja wa wapumbavu waovu katika Israeli. Tafadhali zungumza na mfalme; hatakukatalia wewe kunioa,”
14 Howbeit he would not hearken vnto her voyce, but being stronger then she, forced her, and lay with her.
Lakini Amnoni akakataa kumsikiliza, na kwa kuwa alikuwa na nguvu kuliko Tamari, akamtenda jeuri.
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.
Kisha Amnoni akamchukia Tamari, kwa machukio makuu sana. Kwa kweli, Amnoni alimchukia kuliko alivyokuwa amempenda. Amnoni akamwambia, “Inuka na utoke nje!”
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,
Tamari akamwambia, “Hapana! Kunifukuza itakuwa vibaya zaidi kuliko yale uliyonitendea.” Lakini Amnoni akakataa kumsikiliza.
17 But called his seruant that serued him, and sayd, Put this woman now out from me, and locke the doore after her.
Akamwita mtumishi wake mahsusi na kumwambia, “Mtoe huyu mwanamke hapa na ufunge mlango nyuma yake.”
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.
Kwa hiyo, mtumishi wake akamtoa nje na kufunga mlango nyuma yake. Tamari alikuwa amevaa joho lililopambwa vizuri, kwa maana lilikuwa aina ya mavazi yaliyovaliwa na binti za mfalme waliokuwa mabikira.
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.
Tamari akajitia majivu kichwani mwake na kurarua lile joho alilokuwa amevaa. Akaweka mkono wake kichwani, akaenda zake akilia kwa sauti.
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.
Absalomu nduguye akamuuliza, “Je, huyo Amnoni ndugu yako, amekutana nawe kimwili? Sasa nyamaza umbu langu, yeye ni ndugu yako. Usilitie jambo hili moyoni.” Naye Tamari akaishi nyumbani kwa Absalomu nduguye, akiwa mwanamke mwenye huzuni.
21 But when King Dauid heard all these things, he was very wroth.
Mfalme Daudi aliposikia mambo haya yote, akakasirika sana.
22 And Absalom sayde vnto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalomu hakusema neno lolote na Amnoni, likiwa zuri au baya, kwa kuwa alimchukia Amnoni kwa sababu alikuwa amemtia aibu Tamari, dada yake.
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.
Miaka miwili baadaye, wakati wakata manyoya ya kondoo wa Absalomu walipokuwa huko Baal-Hasori karibu na mpaka wa Efraimu, alialika wana wote wa mfalme kuja huko.
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.
Absalomu akaenda kwa mfalme na kumwambia, “Mtumishi wako ninao wakata manyoya ya kondoo waliokuja. Tafadhali, je, mfalme na maafisa wake wanaweza kuungana nami?”
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.
Mfalme akajibu, “La hasha, mwanangu si lazima sisi sote tuje, tutakuwa tu mzigo kwako.” Ingawa Absalomu alimsihi sana, mfalme alikataa kwenda, lakini alimbariki.
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?
Basi Absalomu akasema, “Kama hutakuja, tafadhali mruhusu ndugu yangu Amnoni twende pamoja naye.” Mfalme akamuuliza, “Kwa nini aende pamoja nawe?”
27 But Absalom was instant vpon him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the Kings children.
Lakini Absalomu alimsihi, kwa hiyo mfalme akamtuma Amnoni pamoja na wana wengine wa mfalme waliobaki.
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.
Absalomu aliagiza watu wake, “Sikilizeni! Wakati Amnoni atakapokuwa amekunywa mvinyo na kulewa sana nami nikiwaambia, ‘Mpigeni Amnoni,’ basi muueni. Msiogope. Je, si mimi niliyewapa amri hii? Kuweni hodari na wenye ushujaa.”
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.
Kwa hiyo watu wa Absalomu wakamtendea Amnoni kama vile Absalomu alivyokuwa amewaagiza. Ndipo wana wote wa mfalme wakainuka, wakapanda nyumbu zao, wakakimbia.
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.
Wakati wakiwa njiani, taarifa ilimjia Daudi, kusema: “Absalomu amewaua wana wote wa mfalme; hakuna hata mmoja aliyesalia.”
31 Then the King arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the ground, and all his seruants stoode by with their clothes rent.
Mfalme akasimama, akararua nguo zake, akalala chini ardhini; nao watumishi wake wote wakasimama kando yake na nguo zao zikiwa zimeraruliwa.
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.
Lakini Yonadabu mwana wa Shimea, nduguye Daudi, akasema, “Bwana wangu asifikiri kwamba wamewaua wana wote wa mfalme; ni Amnoni peke yake ndiye alikufa. Hili limekuwa kusudi la moyo wa Absalomu tangu siku ile Amnoni alipomtendea jeuri Tamari, dada yake.
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.
Mfalme bwana wangu asisumbuliwe na taarifa kwamba wamewaua wana wote wa mfalme. Ni Amnoni peke yake aliyekufa.”
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.
Wakati huo, Absalomu akawa amekimbia. Basi mlinzi akaangalia, naye akaona watu wengi barabarani magharibi yake, wakishuka kutoka upande wa kilima. Mlinzi akaenda akamwambia mfalme, “Naona watu wakitokea upande wa Horonaimu, huko upande wa kilimani.”
35 And Ionadab said vnto the King, Behold, ye Kings sonnes come: as thy seruant sayd, so it is.
Yonadabu akamwambia mfalme, “Tazama, wana wa mfalme wako hapa; imekuwa kama vile mtumishi wako alivyosema.”
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.
Mara alipomaliza kusema, wana wa mfalme wakaingia ndani wakiomboleza kwa makelele. Pia mfalme na watumishi wake wote wakalia sana kwa uchungu.
37 But Absalom fled away, and went to Talmai the sonne of Ammihur King of Geshur: and Dauid mourned for his sonne euery day.
Absalomu akakimbia na kwenda kwa Talmai mwana wa Amihudi, mfalme wa Geshuri. Lakini Mfalme Daudi akaomboleza kwa ajili ya mwanawe kila siku.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three yeeres.
Baada ya Absalomu kukimbia na kwenda Geshuri, akakaa huko miaka mitatu.
39 And King Dauid desired to go forth vnto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Roho ya Mfalme Daudi ikatamani kumwendea Absalomu, kwa maana mfalme alikuwa amefarijika kuhusu kifo cha Amnoni.
