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 kwamba Amnoni mwana wa Daudi, akamtamani sana Tamari dada yake wa kambo aliyekuwa mzuri, alikuwa tumbo moja na Absalome, mwana wingine wa Daudi.
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 akasononeka sana kiasi cha kuugua kwa ajili ya Tamari dada yake. Tamari alikuwa bikra, na hivyo ilionekana haiwezekani Amnoni kufanya neno lolote kwake.
3 But Amnon had a friend called Ionadab, the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother: and Ionadab was a very subtile man.
Lakini Amnoni alikuwa na rafiki jina lake Yehonadabu mwana wa Shama, nduguye Daudi.
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.
Yehonadabu alikuwa mtu mwelevu sana. Akamwambia Amnoni, “Kwa nini, mwana wa mfalme, unadhoofika kila siku? Kwa nini uniambii? Ndipo Amnoni akamjibu, “Nampenda Tamari, dada yake Absalome 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.
Ndipo Yehonadabu akamwambia, “Lala kitandani mwako na ujifanye kuwa mgonjwa. Wakati baba yako atakapo kuja kukuona, mwambie, Tafadhari mtume dada yangu Tamari aandaye chakula mbele yangu, ili kwamba nikione na 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.
Hivyo Amnoni akalala na kujifanya kuwa mgonjwa. Mfalme alipokuja kumwona, Amnoni akamwambia mfalme, “Tafadhari mtume Tamari dada yangu aandaye chakula kwa ajili ya ugonjwa wangu mbele yangu ili kwamba nikile kutoka mkononi mwake.
7 Then Dauid sent home to Tamar, saying, Goe now to thy brother Amnons house, and dresse him meate.
Ndipo Daudi katika kasri lake akatuma neno kwa Tamari, kusema, “Nenda katika nyumba ya nduguyo Amnoni na umwandalie chakula. Hivyo
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.
Tamari akaenda katika nyumba ya Amnoni nduguye alipokuwa amelala. Akachukua donge na kulifinyanga na kuandaa mkate mbele zake, kisha akauoka.
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.
Akachukua kikaangio na kumpa mkate, lakini akakataa kula. Kisha Amnoni akawambia waliokuwepo, “Kila mtu na aondoke.” Hivyo 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.
Amnoni akamwambia Tamari, “Lete chakula chumbani kwangu nikile katika mkono wako.” Tamari akachukua mkate aliokuwa ameuandaa, na kuuleta katika chumba cha Amnoni kaka yake.
11 And when she had set them before him to eate, he tooke her, and sayd vnto her, Come, lye with me, my sister.
Alipoleta chakula kwake, Amnoni akamshikilia 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.
Yeye akamjibu, “Hapana, kaka yangu, usinilazimishe, kwani hakuna jambo kama hili linapaswa kufanyika katika Israeli. Usifanye jambo la aibu kiasi hiki!
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.
Nitakwenda wapi ili nijiepushe na aibu ambayo jambo hili litaileta juu ya maisha yangu? Na tendo hili litakuonesha kuwa mpumbavu usiye na aibu katika Israeli yote. Tafadhari, ninakuomba uongee na mfalme. Yeye atakuruhusu unioe.”
14 Howbeit he would not hearken vnto her voyce, but being stronger then she, forced her, and lay with her.
Lakini Amnoni hakuweza kumsikiliza. Kwa kuwa alikuwa zaidi akamkamata na akalala 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.
Kisha Amnoni akamchukia Tamari kwa chuki kuu. Akamchukia zaidi ya jinsi alivyokuwa amemtamani. Amnoni akamwambia, “Inuka na uondoke.”
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,
Lakini yeye akamjibu, “Hapana! kwa maana uovu wa kunifanya ni uondoke ni mbaya zaidi ya kile ulichonitenda!” Lakini Amnoni hakumsikiliza.
17 But called his seruant that serued him, and sayd, Put this woman now out from me, and locke the doore after her.
Badala yake, akamwita mtumishi wake na akasema, “Mwondoe mwanamke huyu mbele yangu, na uufunge 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.
Hivyo mtumishi wake akamtoa na kufunga mlango. Tamari alikuwa amevaa vazi lilinakishiwa kwani ndivyo binti za wafalme waliobikra valivyokuwa wakivaa.
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 akaweka majivu juu ya kichwa chake na akalirarua vazi lake
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.
Absalome, kaka yake, akamwambia, “Amnoni, kaka yako, amekuwa nawe? Lakini sasa nyamaza, dada yangu. Yeye ni kaka yako. Usiliweke hili moyoni.” Hivyo Tamari akakaa peke yake katika nyumba ya Absalomu kaka yake.
21 But when King Dauid heard all these things, he was very wroth.
Mfalme Daudi aliposikia haya yote, alikasirika sana.
22 And Absalom sayde vnto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalome hakusema chochote kwa Amnoni, kwa maana Absalome alimchukia kwa kile alichokifanya, kumdhalilisha 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.
Ikawa baada ya miaka miwili mizima Absalomu akawa na wakatao kondoo manyoya wakifanya kazi huko Baali Hazori, ulioko karibu na Efraim, naye Absalomu akawaarika wana wote wa mfalme kufika 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 akamwendea mfalme na kusema, “Tazama sasa, mtumishi wako anao wakatao kondoo manyoya. Tafadhari, naomba mfalme na watumishi wake waende nami, mtumishi wako.”
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 akamjibu Absalomu, “hapana mwanangu, tusiende sisi yote kwani tutakuwa mzigo kwako.” Absalomu akamhakikishia mfalme, lakini yeye asikubali kwenda, ila alimbariki Absalomu.
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?
Kisha Absalomu akasema, “kama sivyo, basi tafadhari mwache ndugu yangu Amnoni aende nasi.” Mfalme akamuliza, “Kwa nini Amnoni aende nanyi?”
27 But Absalom was instant vpon him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the Kings children.
Absalomu akamsihi Daudi, hivyo akamruhusu Amnoni na wana wengine wa mfalme kwenda 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.
Absalomu akawaamuru watumishi wake kusema, “Sikilizeni kwa makini. Amnoni atakapokuwa amelewa mvinyo, na nitakapowambia, 'Mpigeni Amnoni,' msiogope mwueni. Je siyo mimi niliyewamru? Mwe jasiri na hodari.”
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.
Hivyo watumishi wa Absalome wakamtendea Amnoni kama walivyoamriwa. Kisha wana wote wa mfalme wakainuka na kila mmoja akapanda nyumbu wake akakimbia.
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.
Hata ikawa wakati wakiwa njiani habari zikafika kwa Daudi kusema, “Absalomu ameua wana wote wa mfalme na 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.
Kisha mfalme akainuka na kurarua mavazi yake na kujilaza juu ya sakafu; watumishi wake wote wakasimama karibu naye mavazi yao yameraruriwa.
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.
Yehonadabu mwana wa Shama, nduguye Daudi, akajibu na kusema, “Bwana wangu asidhani kuwa vijana wote ambao ni wana wa mfalme wameuawa, kwa maana ni Amnoni pekee ndiye aliyeuawa. Absalomu alilipanga jambo hili tangu siku ile Amnoni alivyomwaribu 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.
Kwa hiyo basi, bwana wangu mfalme asiiweke taarifa hii moyoni, kudhani kwamba wana wote wa mfalme wameuawa, kwani aliyeuawa ni Amnoni peke yake.”
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.
Absalomu akakimbia. Mtumishi aliyekuwa akiangalia akainua macho yake na kuona watu wengi wakija njiani kando ya kilima upande wake wa magharibi.
35 And Ionadab said vnto the King, Behold, ye Kings sonnes come: as thy seruant sayd, so it is.
Kisha Yehonadabu akamwambia mfalme, “Tazama, wana wa mfalme wanakuja. kama 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.
Ikawa mara alipomaliza kusema wana wa mfalme wakafika, wakainua sauti zao na kulia. Na mfalme pamoja na watumishi wake wote pia wakalia 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.
Lakini Absalomu akakimbia na kwenda kwa Talmai mwana wa Amihudi, mfalme wa Geshuri. Mfalme akaomboleza kila siku kwa ajili ya mwanaye.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three yeeres.
Hivyo Absalomu akakimbia na kwenda Geshuri na akakaa huko kwa miaka mitatu.
39 And King Dauid desired to go forth vnto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Moyo wa mfalme Daudi ukatamani kwenda kumwona Absalomu, kwa maana alikuwa amefarijika kwa habari ya kifo cha Amnoni.
