< Kings II 13 >
1 And it happened after this that Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name [was] Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
David capa Absalon loe kranghoih parai Tamar, tiah kawk ih tanuh maeto tawnh; David capa Amnon mah anih to koeh pae khruek.
2 And Amnon was distressed even to sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it seemed very difficult for Amnon to do anything to her.
Amnon loe angmah ih tanuh Tamar to koeh khruek pongah ngannat. Anih loe kacuem tangla ah oh moe, anih nuiah sak koeh baktiah hmuen sak hanah angcoeng pae thai ai.
3 And Amnon had a friend, and his name [was] Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and Jonadab [was] a very cunning man.
Toe Amnon loe David ih amnawk, Shimeah capa Jonadah to ampui ah tawnh. Jonadah loe alinghaih bangah palungha kami ah oh.
4 And he said to him, What ails you that you are thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? will you not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.
Anih mah Amnon khaeah, Siangpahrang capa ah na oh, toe tipongah nito pacoeng nito tak na zaek loe? Nang thui thai tih maw? tiah a naa. Amnon mah anih khaeah, Kamnawk Absalom tanuh, Tamar to ka koeh khruek, tiah a naa.
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon your bed, and make yourself sick, and your father shall come in to see you; and you shall say to him, Let, I pray you, Themar my sister come, and feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may see and eat at her hands.
Jonadab mah anih khaeah, Na iihhaih ahmuen ah angsongah loe, nganna angsah ah; nang khet hanah nampa angzoh naah, anih khaeah, Tahmenhaih hoiah ka tanuh Tamar to angzo nasoe loe, caaknaek maeto na pacah nasoe; ka mikhnukah caaknaek thong nasoe loe, a ban hoi na pacah nasoe, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
6 So Ammon lay down, and made himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray you, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.
To pongah Amnon loe angsong moe, nganna angsak; siangpahrang loe anih khet hanah angzoh, to naah Amnon mah anih khaeah, Tahmenhaih hoiah ka tanuh Tamar to angzo nasoe, ka mikhnukah takaw to na sah pae nasoe loe, a ban hoiah na pacah nasoe, tiah a naa.
7 And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to your brother's house, and dress him food.
To pongah David mah Tamar im ah kami to patoeh, Na thangqoi Amnon im ah caeh loe, caaknaek thong paeh, tiah a naa.
8 And Themar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he [was] lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
To pongah Tamar loe nganna angsah a thangqoi, Amnon im ah caeh, takaw dip ahap to lak moe, a naep; a mikhnukah takaw to haek pae.
9 And she took the frying pan and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.
Tamar mah laom to lak pacoengah takaw to paek, toe caa pae ai. Kaminawk hae ahmuen hoiah tacawt o boih ah, tiah Amnon mah a naa. To pongah kaminawk loe tacawt o boih.
10 And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of your hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.
To naah Amnon mah Tamar khaeah, Na ban pongah ka caak hanah, ka iihhaih ahmuen ah sin ah, tiah a naa. To pongah Tamar mah, a sak ih takaw to lak moe, a thangqoi Amnon iihhaih imthung ah sin pae.
11 And she brought [them] to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
Toe caak hanah anih mah sin pae naah, angmah ih tanuh to Ammon mah naeh moe, anih khaeah, Ka tanuh, nawnto iip hoi si, tiah a naa.
12 And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.
Anih mah, Ka thangqoi, tha patoh hoiah hae tiah na sah nganga hmah! Hae baktih hmuen hae Israel thungah sak han om ai, kasae hae hmuen hae sah hmah.
13 And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray you, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from you.
Kai loe kawbangmaw azathaih hoiah ka om ueloe, nang doeh kawbangmaw na om tih? Israel thungah amthu koek kami maeto ah ni na om tih. Tahmenhaih hoi siangpahrang khaeah thui ah, to tih nahaeloe na paek ai ah om mak ai, tiah a naa.
14 But Amnon would not listen to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.
Toe a thuih ih lok to tahngai pae ai; anih loe Tamar pongah thacak kue kami ah oh pongah, tha patohhaih hoiah anih to zae haih.
15 Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and be gone.
To tiah oh pacoeng loe Amnon mah Tamar to paroeai hnukma. Canghniah koeh khruek nathuem ih pongah doeh hnukma kue boeh. Amnon mah anih khaeah, Angthawk loe, caeh lai ah, tiah a naa.
16 And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, [said she], than the other that you did me, to send me away: but Amnon would not listen to her voice.
Anih mah Amnon khaeah, Ka caeh mak ai! Nang haek nahaeloe ka nuiah na sak ih hmuen pongah zaehaih len kue tih, tiah a naa. Toe anih mah thuih ih lok to tahngai pae ai.
17 And he called his servant who had charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this [woman] out from me, and shut the door after her.
A toksah tamna maeto a kawk moe, Hae nongpata hae hae imthung hoiah haek ah loe, thok khaa thui caeng ah, tiah a naa.
18 And she had on her a variegated robe, for so were the king's daughters that were virgins attired in their apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut the door after her.
To pongah a toksah tamna mah, kacuem tangla rong congca khukbuen angkhuk siangpahrang canu to tasa bangah haek moe, thok takraeng thuih caeng.
19 And Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she tore the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.
Tamar loe a lu ah maiphu to angphuih moe, a khukbuennawk to asih, a lu nuiah ban koeng moe, qah hoiah caeh.
20 And Abessalom her brother said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is your brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar lived as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.
To naah a thangqoi Absalom mah anih khaeah, Na thangqoi Amnon mah ang zae haih maw? Ka tanuh, om duem ah; anih loe na thangqoi ni; na palung thungah suem poe hmah, tiah a naa. Tamar loe dawnraihaih hoiah a thangqoi Absalom im ah oh sut.
21 And king David heard of all these things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son Amnon, because be loved him, for he was his firstborn.
David siangpahrang mah to kawngnawk boih to thaih naah, paroeai palungphui.
22 And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.
Absalom loe Amnon khaeah kasae lok maw, kahoih lok maw vaito doeh thui vai ai; a tanuh tha patohhaih hoiah zae haih pongah Amnon to hnukma.
23 And it came to pass at the end of two whole years, that they were shearing [sheep] for Abessalom in Belasor near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king's sons.
Saning hnetto oh pacoeng loe, Absalom loe Ephraim prae taeng ih Baal-Hazor vang ah tuumui aah haih poih to sak; to naah Absalom mah siangpahrang capanawk boih poihkung ah kawk.
24 And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, your servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with your servant.
Absalom loe siangpahrang khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Na tamna mah Tuumui aahhaih poih to ka sak; na tamnanawk to kawk loe, siangpahrang, nang doeh nihcae hoi nawnto poihkung ah angzo toeng ah, tiah a naa.
25 And the king said to Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to you. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.
Siangpahrang mah, Ka capa, to tih na ai ni; kaminawk boih to caehsak hmah; nang hanah hmuen kazit ah kaom o moeng tih, tiah a naa. Absalom mah pacae nganga, toe anih loe caeh han angmak pae; toe tahamhoihaih a paek.
26 And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let I pray you, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?
To naah Absalom mah, Nang zo ai nahaeloe, kamnawk Amnon doeh angzo toeng nasoe, tiah a naa. Siangpahrang mah, Tih hanah anih to nang hoi nawnto caeh han angaih loe? tiah a naa.
27 And Abessalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king's sons; and Abessalom made a banquet like the banquet of the king.
Toe Absalom mah hnik pae khruek pongah, siangpahrang capanawk to Amnon hoi nawnto caehsak boih.
28 And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Strike Amnon, and kill him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
Absalom mah a tamnanawk khaeah, Tahngai oh; Amnon misurtui naek moe, paquih naah, kai mah Amnon to bop oh, tiah kang thuih o han, to naah anih to hum oh; zii o hmah; kaimah lok kang paek o boeh, na thacak o sak loe, misahoihaih hoiah om oh, tiah a thuih pae.
29 And the servants of Abessalom did to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.
To pongah Absalom mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah Absalom ih tamnanawk mah Amnon nuiah sak o. To naah siangpahrang capanawk boih angthawk o, angmacae ih mule hrang angthueng o moe, cawnh o.
30 And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
Loklam ah caeh o li naah, to tamthang to David khaeah thuih pae o; Absalom mah siangpahrang capanawk to hum boih boeh, maeto doeh pathlung ai boeh, tiah thuih pae o.
31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him tore their garments.
To naah siangpahrang loe angthawk tahang moe, a khukbuen to asih pacoengah, long ah angsong; a tamnanawk boih doeh khukbuen to asih o moe, a taengah angdoet o toeng.
32 And Jonadab the son of Samaa brother of David, answered and said, Let not my Lord the king say that he has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them all is dead; for he was appointed [to death] by the mouth of Abessalom from the day that he humbled his sister Themar.
Toe David amnawk Shimeah capa Jonadab mah, Siangpahrang capanawk to hum boih boeh, tiah ka angraeng mah poek han om ai; Amnon khue ni duek. Amnon mah Absalom tanuh Tamar to zae haih ni hoi kamtong, amnawk nuiah hae tiah sak hanah pacaeng roe boeh.
33 And now let not my lord the king take the matter to heart, saying, All the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only of them is dead.
Siangpahrang capanawk duek boih boeh, tiah ang thuih o ih lok to ka angraeng siangpahrang nang mah tang han om ai; Amnon khue ni duek, tiah a naa.
34 And Abessalom escaped: and the young man the watchman, lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.
To naah Absalom loe cawnh ving boeh. Misatoep kami mah khet naah, a hnukbang ah kaom mae taeng ih loklam ah angzo kapop parai kami to a hnuk,
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of your servant, so has it happened.
Jonadab mah siangpahrang khaeah, Khenah, siangpahrang capanawk hae ah ang zoh o boeh; na tamna kai mah kang thuih ih lok baktiah ni oh, tiah a naa.
36 And it came to pass when he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.
Anih mah lokthuih pacoengah, siangpahrang capanawk to angzoh o moe, tha hoiah qah o; siangpahrang doeh a tamnanawk boih hoi nawnto qah.
37 But Abessalom fled, and went to Tholmi son of Emiud the king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and king David mourned for his son continually.
Toe Absalom loe cawnh moe, Geshur siangpahrang Ammihud capa Talmai khaeah caeh. David siangpahrang loe a capa to ni thokkruek qah haih.
38 So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.
Absalom loe cawnh moe, Geshur khaeah caeh pacoengah, to ah saning thumto thung oh.
39 And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.
Amnon loe duek boeh moe, anih ih palung khuek tih boeh pongah, David siangpahrang hinghaih mah Absalom to dawn parai, anih khaeah caeh hanah a koeh khruek.
