< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
Pi tà, apre sa Absalom, fis a David la te gen yon sè byen bèl ki te rele Tamar e Amnon, fis a David la te renmen li.
2 And Amnon was so distressed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do any thing unto her.
Amnon te tèlman fristre akoz sè li, Tamar, ke sa te fè li vin malad, paske li te vyèj e li te sanble difisil pou Amnon fè yon bagay ak li.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
Men Amnon te gen yon zanmi ki te rele Jonadab, fis a Schimea a, frè David. Epi Jonadab te yon nonm byen rize.
4 And he said unto him: 'Why, O son of the king, art thou thus becoming leaner from day to day? wilt thou not tell me?' And Amnon said unto him: 'I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.'
Li te di li: “O fis a wa a, poukisa ou deprime maten apre maten konsa? Èske ou p ap di m sa?” Epi Amnon te di li: “Mwen tonbe nan renmen avèk Tamar, sè a frè m nan, Absalom.”
5 And Jonadab said unto him: 'Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick; and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him: Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.'
Alò, Jonadab te di li: “Kouche sou kabann ou e fè kòmsi ou malad. Lè papa ou vin wè ou, di li: ‘Souple, kite sè m nan, Tamar vin ban m manje. Kite li prepare manje a devan zye m, pou mwen kapab wè li e manje manje a soti nan men li.’”
6 So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick; and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king: 'Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.'
Konsa, Amnon te kouche e te fè tankou li te malad. Lè wa a te vin wè li, Amnon te di a wa a: “Souple, kite sè m nan, Tamar vini fè kèk gato devan zye m, pou m kab manje nan men li.”
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying: 'Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.'
Alò, David te voye lakay pou Tamar. Li te di: “Ale koulye a lakay frè ou a, Amnon e prepare manje pou li.”
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
Konsa, Tamar te ale lakay Amnon pandan li te kouche a. Li te pran boul pen an, li te fwote l, li te fè gato devan zye li e te kwit gato yo.
9 And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said: 'Have out all men from me.' And they went out every man from him.
Li te pran chodyè a pou te lonje mete yo devan li, men li te refize manje. Epi Amnon te di: “Fè tout moun sòti devan m.” Konsa tout moun te sòti devan li.
10 And Amnon said unto Tamar: 'Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand.' And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
Alò, Amnon te di a Tamar: “Mennen manje a nan chanm dòmi mwen an, pou m kab manje li nan men ou.” Konsa, Tamar te pran gato ke li te fè yo e te mennen yo antre nan chanm dòmi kote frè li a, Amnon.
11 And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her: 'Come lie with me, my sister.'
Lè li te mennen kote li pou manje, Amnon te kenbe li e te di li: “Vin kouche avè m, sè mwen.”
12 And she answered him: 'Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel; do not thou this wanton deed.
Men li te reponn li: “Non, frè mwen, pa vyole mwen! Paske bagay konsa yo pa fèt an Israël. Pa fè dega sila a!
13 And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the base men in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.'
Pou mwen menm, kote mwen ta kab livre a wont sa a? Epi pou ou menm, ou va tankou yon moun ranpli avèk foli an Israël. Pou sa, souple, pale avèk wa a, paske li p ap anpeche ou pran m.”
14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.
Sepandan, li pa t koute li. Akoz Amnon te pi fò pase li, li te vyole li, e te kouche avèk li.
15 Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her: 'Arise, be gone.'
Epi Amnon te vin rayi li avèk yon trè gwo rayisman. Rayisman avèk sila li te rayi li a te pi gran pase renmen avèk sila li te renmen li an. Amnon te di li: “Leve, sòti!”
16 And she said unto him: 'Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is worse than the other that thou didst unto me.' But he would not hearken unto her.
Men li te di a li: “Non, paske mal sa a ke w ap fè nan voye m ale a pi mal pase lòt ke ou te fè m nan!” Men li pa t koute li.
17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said: 'Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.' —
Alò, li te rele jennonm ki t ap okipe li a, e te di: “Koulye a, jete fanm sa deyò prezans mwen e kadnase pòt la dèyè l.”
18 Now she had a garment of many colours upon her; for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. — And his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
Alò, li te genyen yon rad avèk manch long, paske se te konsa fi vyèj a wa yo te konn abiye an manto. Epi sèvitè l te mennen Tamar deyò e te kadnase pòt la dèyè li.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of many colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
Tamar te mete sann yo sou tèt li e te chire manch long yo nan rad sou li a. Li te mete men li sou tèt li, li te sòti e t ap kriye fò pandan li prale a.
20 And Absalom her brother said unto her: 'Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now hold thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart.' So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
Alò, Absalom, frè li a te di li: “Èske Amnon, frè ou a te avèk ou? Men koulye a, rete an silans, sè mwen, li se frè ou. Pa mete afè sa a sou kè.” Pou sa, Tamar te rete e te dezole lakay Absalom, frè li a.
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
Alò, lè David te tande tout koze sila yo, li te vin byen fache.
22 And Absalom spoke unto Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Men Absalom pa t pale ak Amnon anyen, ni bon, ni mal; paske Absalom te rayi Amnon akoz li te vyole sè li a, Tamar.
23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
Alò, li te vin rive apre dezan nèt ke Absalom te gen moun pou taye lenn mouton Baal-Hatsor ki toupre Ephraïm, e Absalom te envite tout fis a wa yo.
24 And Absalom came to the king, and said: 'Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.'
Absalom te vin kote wa a e te di: “Gade byen, sèvitè ou a genyen moun k ap taye lenn mouton. Souple, kite wa a avèk sèvitè li yo ale avèk sèvitè ou.”
25 And the king said to Absalom: 'Nay, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome unto thee.' And he pressed him; howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
Men wa a te di a Absalom: “Non, fis mwen, se pa tout moun ki pou ale, paske nou va yon fado pou ou.” Malgre li te ankouraje li, li pa t ale, men li te beni li.
26 Then said Absalom: 'If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us.' And the king said unto him: 'Why should he go with thee?'
Alò, Absalom te di: “Si se pa sa, souple kite frè m nan, Amnon, ale avèk nou.” Epi wa a te di li: “Poukisa li dwe ale avèk ou?”
27 But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
Men lè Absalom te ankouraje li, li te kite Amnon avèk tout fis a wa yo ale avèk li.
28 And Absalom commanded his servants, saying: 'Mark ye now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine; and when I say unto you: Smite Amnon, then kill him, fear not; have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.'
Absalom te kòmande sèvitè li yo. Li te di: “Gade koulye a, lè kè Amnon kontan avèk diven an, lè mwen di nou: ‘Frape Amnon’, alò, mete li a lanmò. Pa pè! Èske se pa mwen menm ki kòmande nou? Pran kouraj e rete brav.”
29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got him up upon his mule, and fled.
Sèvitè a Absalom yo te fè Amnon jis jan ke Absalom te kòmande a. Epi tout fis a wa yo te leve monte milèt pa yo e te sove ale.
30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the tidings came to David, saying: 'Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.'
Alò, se te pandan ke yo te nan wout la yon rapò te rive kote David ki te di: “Absalom te frape fè tonbe tout fis a wa yo e nanpwen youn nan yo ki te rete.”
31 Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
Konsa, wa a te leve. Li te chire rad li e te kouche atè, epi tout sèvitè li yo te kanpe akote avèk rad yo chire.
32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said: 'Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
Jonadab, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te reponn: “Pa kite mèt mwen an sipoze ke yo te mete a lanmò tout jennonm yo, fis a wa yo. Se sèl Ammon ki mouri. Se sa ki te entansyon Absalom. Afè sa a te vin detèmine depi jou ke li te vyole sè li a, Tamar.
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.'
Alò pou sa, pa kite mèt mwen, wa a, pran rapò sa a a kè, ki vle di ‘tout fis a wa yo mouri’, paske se sèl Amnon ki mouri.”
34 But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people in a roundabout way by the hill-side.
Alò, Absalom te sove ale deja. Epi jennonm ki te gadyen an te leve zye li gade e vwala, anpil moun t ap vini soti nan wout la dèyè li akote baz mòn nan.
35 And Jonadab said unto the king: 'Behold, the king's sons are come; as thy servant said, so it is.'
Jonadab te di a wa a: “Gade byen, men fis a wa yo gen tan vini! Menm jan avèk pawòl sèvitè ou a, se konsa sa fèt.”
36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
Depi li fin pale a, vwala, fis a wa yo te vini e te leve vwa yo pou te kriye. Konsa, wa la menm, avèk tout sèvitè li yo te kriye byen anmè.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
Men Absalom te sove ale e te ale kote Talmaï, fis a Ammihur a, wa a Gueschur a. David te kriye fè lamantasyon pou fis li a chak jou.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Konsa, Absalom te sove ale nan Gueschur e te rete la, pandan twazan.
39 And the soul of king David failed with longing for Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Wa David te byen vle ale kote Absalom, paske li te pran rekonfò konsènan Amnon, akoz li te mouri.
