2 Samuel 13
1 And it comes to pass afterward that Absalom son of David has a beautiful sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loves 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 has distress—even to become sick, because of his sister Tamar, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of 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 has a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,
Toe Amnon loe David ih amnawk, Shimeah capa Jonadah to ampui ah tawnh. Jonadah loe alinghaih bangah palungha kami ah oh.
4 and says to him, “Why [are] you thus lean, O king’s son, morning by morning? Do you not declare [it] to me?” And Amnon says to him, “Tamar—sister of my brother Absalom—I am loving.”
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 says to him, “Lie down on your bed, and feign yourself sick, and your father has come in to see you, and you have said to him: Please let my sister Tamar come in and give me bread to eat; and she has made the food before my eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.”
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 And Amnon lies down, and feigns himself sick, and the king comes in to see him, and Amnon says to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come, and she makes two cakes before my eyes, and I eat from 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 sends to Tamar, to the house, saying, “Now go to the house of your brother Amnon and make food for him.”
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 Tamar goes to the house of her brother Amnon, and he is lying down, and she takes the dough, and kneads, and makes cakes before his eyes, and cooks 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 takes the frying-pan, and pours out before him, and he refuses to eat, and Amnon says, “Have everyone go out from me”; and everyone goes out from 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 says to Tamar, “Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from your hand”; and Tamar takes the cakes that she has made and brings [them] to her brother Amnon [in] the inner 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 brings [them] near to him to eat, and he lays hold on her, and says 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 says to him, “No, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not do 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—to where do I cause my reproach to go? And you are as one of the fools in Israel; and now, please speak to the king; for he does not withhold 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 And he has not been willing to listen to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbles her, and lies 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 And Amnon hates her—a very great hatred—that greater [is] the hatred with which he has hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon says to her, “Rise, go.”
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 she says to him, “Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that you have done with me—to send me away”; and he has not been willing to listen to her,
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 calls his young man, his servant, and says, “Now send this one away from me outside, and bolt 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 a long coat [is] on her, for such upper robes daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on—and his servant takes her outside, and has bolted 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 Tamar takes ashes for her head, and has torn the long coat that [is] on her, and puts her hand on her head, and goes, going on and crying;
Tamar loe a lu ah maiphu to angphuih moe, a khukbuennawk to asih, a lu nuiah ban koeng moe, qah hoiah caeh.
20 and her brother Absalom says to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? And now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] your brother; do not set your heart to this thing”; and Tamar dwells—but desolate—in the house of her brother Absalom.
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 has heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;
David siangpahrang mah to kawngnawk boih to thaih naah, paroeai palungphui.
22 and Absalom has not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled his sister Tamar.
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 comes to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom has shearers in Ba‘al-Hazor, which [is] near Ephraim, and Absalom calls for all the sons of the king.
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 Absalom comes to the king and says, “Now behold, your servant has shearers, please let the king go—and his servants—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 says to Absalom, “No, my son, please let us not all go, and we are not too heavy on you”; and he presses on him, and he has not been willing to go, and he blesses 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 Absalom says, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us”; and the king says to him, “Why does 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 Absalom urges for him, and he sends Amnon and all the sons of the king with him.
Toe Absalom mah hnik pae khruek pongah, siangpahrang capanawk to Amnon hoi nawnto caehsak boih.
28 And Absalom commands his young men, saying, “Now see, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said to you, Strike Amnon, that you have put him to death; do not fear; is it not because I have commanded you? Be strong, indeed, become sons of valor.”
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 young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and all the sons of the king rise, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.
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 comes to pass—they [are] in the way—and the report has come to David, saying, “Absalom has struck all the sons of the king, and there is not left [even] one of them”;
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 and the king rises, and tears his garments, and lies on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] torn 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 son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answers and says, “Do not let my lord say, The whole of the young men, the sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone [is] dead, for it has been appointed by the command of Absalom from the day of his humbling his sister Tamar;
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, do not let my lord the king lay the word to his heart, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [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 Absalom flees, and the young man who is watching lifts up his eyes and looks, and behold, many people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.
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 says to the king, “Behold, the sons of the king have come; as the word of your servant, so it has been.”
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 comes to pass at his finishing to speak, that behold, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept—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 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourns for his son all the days.
Toe Absalom loe cawnh moe, Geshur siangpahrang Ammihud capa Talmai khaeah caeh. David siangpahrang loe a capa to ni thokkruek qah haih.
38 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Geshur, and is there [for] three years;
Absalom loe cawnh moe, Geshur khaeah caeh pacoengah, to ah saning thumto thung oh.
39 and King David determines to go out to Absalom, for he has been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
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.
