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.

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 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.

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, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.

Naye Amunoni yalina mukwano gwe ennyo, eyayitibwanga Yonadabu mutabani wa Simeeya mukulu wa Dawudi, eyali omusajja omukujjukujju.

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.'

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 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.'

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 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.'

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 David sent home to Tamar, saying: 'Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.'

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her: 'Come lie with me, my sister.'

Naye bwe yagimusembereza okulya n’amukwata, n’amugamba nti, “Jjangu weebake nange, mwannyinaze.”

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.

N’amuddamu nti, “Nedda, mwannyinaze, tonkwata n’amaanyi. Ekyo tekikolwa mu Isirayiri. Tokola kya kivve bwe kityo.

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.'

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 unto her voice; but being stronger than she, he 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 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.'

Oluvannyuma Amunoni n’amukyawa nnyo nnyini, okusinga ne bwe yamwagala, n’amulagira nti, “Golokoka ofulume.”

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.

Tamali n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda! Okungoba kibi okusinga ekikolwa ky’onkoze.” Naye n’agaana okumuwuliriza.

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.' —

N’ayita omuddu ey’amuweerezanga n’amugamba nti, “Omukazi oyo muggye mu maaso gange, omuggalire ebweru.”

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.

Kabaka Dawudi bwe yakiwulira, n’asunguwala nnyo.

22 And Absalom spoke unto 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 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.

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 said: 'Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.'

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 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.

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 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?'

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 pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

Naye Abusaalomu n’amwegayirira nnyo okutuusa bwe yakkiriza Amunoni n’abaana ba kabaka bonna okugenda naye.

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.'

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 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.

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 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.'

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 rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood 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 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.

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 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.'

Noolwekyo mukama wange kabaka aleme okweraliikirira olw’amawulire g’afunye agagamba nti abaana ba kabaka bonna bafudde. Amunoni yekka ye afudde.”

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.

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 Jonadab said unto the king: 'Behold, the king's sons are come; as thy servant said, so it is.'

Awo Yonadabu n’agamba kabaka nti, “Laba abaana ba kabaka bajja; kituukiridde omuddu wo kye yayogedde.”

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.

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, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every 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 years.

Abusaalomu n’amala e Gesuli emyaka esatu.

39 And the soul of king David failed with longing for Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

Naye omutima gwa Dawudi ne gwegomba okulaba ku Abusaalomu, kubanga yali akubagizibbwa olw’okufa kwa Amunoni.
