2 Samuel 13
1 It happened after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
Nɔvinyɔnu dzetugbe aɖe nɔ Absalom, David ƒe viŋutsu si. Eŋkɔe nye Tamar eye eƒe nu nyo David viŋutsu bubu si woyɔna be Amnon la ŋu, evɔ Amnon kple Tamar nye atsusiviwo.
2 Amnon was so troubled that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
Amnon ƒe lɔlɔ̃ na Tamar va ɖe fu nɛ ale gbegbe be wòdze dɔ. Amnon mekpɔ mɔnu aɖeke awɔ naneke kplii o, elabena Tamar menya ŋutsu haɖe o.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man.
Xɔlɔ̃ dzeaye aɖe nɔ Amnon si; eŋkɔe nye Yonadab, ame si nye David nɔviŋutsu, Simea ƒe vi.
4 He said to him, "Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won't you tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."
Gbe ɖeka la, Yonadab bia Amnon be, “Nya kae dzɔ? Nu ka ta wò, fiavi, nàlé blanui ale ŋdi sia ŋdi?” Amnon gblɔ nɛ be, “Tamar, nɔvinye nyɔnu, ame si dzɔ ɖe Absalom yome la ƒe vi la ƒe nu lé dzi nam.”
5 Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.'"
Yonadab gblɔ nɛ be, “Enyo, magblɔ nu si nàwɔ la na wò. Yi ɖamlɔ anyi eye nàwɔ abe ɖe nèdze dɔ ene. Ne fofowò va be yeakpɔ wò ɖa la, gblɔ nɛ be wòana Tamar nava wɔ nuɖuɖu aɖe na ye. Na wòanya be yeahaya ne Tamar va ɖa nu na ye.”
6 So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."
Amnon wɔ alea. Esi David va kpɔe ɖa la, eɖe kuku nɛ be wòaɖe mɔ na ye nɔvinyɔnu, Tamar, wòava ɖa nu na ye yeaɖu.
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Go now to your brother Amnon and prepare food for him."
David lɔ̃ eye wòɖo du ɖe Tamar be wòayi Amnon ƒe xɔ me eye wòaɖa nane nɛ.
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 while he watched, and baked the cakes.
Ale Tamar yi Amnon ƒe xɔ me ale be Amnon nakpɔ ale si wòablu amɔ lae.
9 She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, "Have all men leave me." Every man went out from him.
Etɔ tatalĩ tɔxɛ aɖe nɛ, ke esi wòɖo kplɔ̃ nɛ la, egbe nua ɖuɖu! Eɖe gbe na eƒe subɔlawo be woadzo le yewo gbɔ eye subɔlawo katã do go le xɔa me.
10 Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand." Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
Amnon gblɔ na Tamar be, “Tsɔ nuɖuɖu la va nye dɔƒe eye nàdoe nam.” Ale Tamar tsɔ nuɖuɖu la yii.
11 When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."
Esi wòtsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume la, Amnon gblɔ nɛ be, “Lɔlɔ̃tɔ, va mlɔ gbɔnye.”
12 She answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me. For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not do this folly.
Tamar do ɣli be, “Oo, Amnon, èdzɔ movi loo! Mègawɔ nu sia tɔgbi o. Wò ŋutɔ ènya be nu sia tɔgbi medzɔna le Israel o.
13 I, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you."
Afi ka mayi kple ŋukpe gã sia? Woayɔ wò be abunɛtɔ gãtɔwo dometɔ ɖeka le Israel! Meɖe kuku, ƒo nu kple fia la, ekema aɖe mɔ na wò nàɖem.”
14 However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she was, he overpowered her and raped her.
Amnon gbe meɖo toe o, ke boŋ esi wòsẽ wu Tamar ta la, elée sesẽtɔe hedɔ egbɔ.
15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Get up, go away."
Enumake lɔlɔ̃ si wòtsɔ nɛ la trɔ zu fuléle. Amnon lé fu Tamar azɔ wu ale si wòlɔ̃e tsã. Eblu ɖe eta be, “Do go nàdzo le afi sia!”
16 And Tamar said to him, "Don't, my brother, for this latter evil in sending me away is greater than the former thing that you did to me." But he would not listen to her.
Tamar de asi avifafa me hegblɔ be, “Ne ègbem la, evɔ̃ɖi wu nu si nèwɔ kplim gɔ̃ hã.” Ke Amnon meɖo to Tamar ƒe nya siawo o.
17 Then he called the young man who served him, and said, "Send this one away from me, and bolt the door after her."
Eyɔ eƒe subɔla eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “He nyɔnu sia do goe le afi sia eye nàtu ʋɔa ɖe eyome.”
18 Now she was wearing an ornamented robe, for this was what the king's virgin daughters used to wear. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
Ale subɔla la hee do goe eye wòtu ʋɔ la ɖe eyome. Edo awu ʋlaya nyui aɖe si fiavinyɔnu siwo menya ŋutsu haɖe o la dona.
19 And Tamar took ashes and put them on her head, and tore the long robe she was wearing. And she put her hand on her head and went away, crying aloud as she went.
Tamar dze awu la le eɖokui ŋuti, lɔ dzowɔ kɔ ɖe tame, kpla asi ta, henɔ avi fam kple ɣli eye wòdzo.
20 And her brother Absalom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this too seriously." So Tamar, devastated, lived in her brother Absalom's house.
Nɔvia Absalom biae be, “Nyateƒee be Amnon gblẽ wòa? Mègana wòave wò nenema kura o, elabena ƒome ɖeka sia me ko nya la dzɔ le. Esia menye nya aɖeke si ŋu nàtsi dzi le alea o!” Ale Tamar nɔ nɔvia Absalom gbɔ abe nyɔnu si ɖi gbɔ̃ eɖokui ene.
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry. But he did not inflict pain on the spirit of his son Amnon, because he loved him, for he was his firstborn.
Esi Fia David se nya si dzɔ la, edo dɔmedzoe ŋutɔ.
22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had violated his sister Tamar.
Absalom lé fu Amnon le esi wògblẽ nɔvia, Tamar ta ale gbegbe be megaƒoa nu kplii gɔ̃ hã o.
23 It happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
Le ƒe eve megbe la, wonɔ fu kom na Absalom ƒe alẽwo le Baal Hazor, le Efraim du la gbɔ. Absalom kpe fiaviŋutsuwo katã be woava afi ma.
24 Absalom came to the king, and said, "See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant."
Eyi fofoa David gbɔ hekpe eya hã kple eŋumewo be woava kpɔ dzidzɔ kple ye.
25 The king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." But he pleaded with him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
Ke fofoa gblɔ nɛ be, “Ao, vinye, ne mí katã míeva la, míanye agba na wò akpa.” Absalom ƒoe ɖe enu gake melɔ̃ ɖe yiyi dzi o; ɖeko wòda akpe nɛ ɖe eƒe amekpekpe la ta.
26 Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." The king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"
Absalom gblɔ be, “Enyo; ne wò ŋutɔ màte ŋu ava o hã la, màɖo nɔvinye, Amnon ɖa ɖe tewòƒe oa?” Fia la biae be, “Nu ka ta maɖo Amnon ɖa?”
27 But Absalom pleaded with him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom prepared a feast like a king's feast.
Absalom yi nya la ƒoƒo ɖe fia la nu dzi va se ɖe esime wòlɔ̃ eye wòna via ŋutsuwo katã, ame siwo dome Amnon hã nɔ la yi.
28 And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, "Watch Amnon until he is in a good mood from the wine, and when I tell you, 'Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and brave."
Absalom gblɔ na eƒe amewo be, “Milala va se ɖe esime Amnon namu aha, ekema ne mewɔ dzesi aɖe na mi ko la, miawui! Migavɔ̃ o, nyee nye miaƒe aƒetɔ eye esiae nye nye ɖoɖo. Milé dzi ɖe ƒo ne miawɔe!”
29 So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons got up, and each mounted his mule and fled.
Ale Absalom ƒe amewo wɔ Amnon abe ale si Absalom ɖo na wo ene. Tete fia la ƒe viwo katã lia woƒe tedzisɔwo dzi eye wosi dzo.
30 And it happened, while they were on the way, that the news came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left."
Esi wonɔ mɔa dzi la, David se be, “Absalom wu fia la ƒe viwo katã eye wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã mesusɔ o.”
31 Then the king got up and tore his clothes and lay down on the ground. And all the servants who were standing around him also tore their clothes.
Fia la tsi tsitre, dze eƒe awuwo eye wòmlɔ anyigba, le konyifafa me, eŋumewo hã dze woƒe awuwo le ŋɔdzi kple konyifafa ta.
32 But Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, "My lord the king must not think that they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For this has been Absalom's plan since the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
Ke Yonadab, David nɔviŋutsu, Simea ƒe viŋutsu gblɔ be, “Mele be nye aƒetɔ nabu be wowu fiaviŋutsuawo katã o. Amnon ko wowu! Esiae nye Absalom ƒe tameɖoɖo si wògblɔna tso gbe si gbe ke Amnon gblẽ nɔvia nyɔnu Tamar.
33 Now therefore do not let 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."
Mele be nye aƒetɔ, fia la naƒo to nya sia bena fiaviŋutsuawo katã ku o. Amnon koe ku.”
34 But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and he saw many men coming on the road behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent. And the watchman came and told the king, and said, "I have seen many men coming from the Horonan road by the side of the mountain."
Ke Absalom si le teƒea. Azɔ, dzɔla si le Yerusalem ƒe gli la dzi la, kpɔ ameha gã aɖe le togbɛ la ŋu wogbɔna Yerusalem.
35 Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming. It is as your servant said."
Yonadab gblɔ na fia la be, “Kpɔ ɖa, woawoe nye emawo! Viwò ŋutsuwo gbɔna ɖa abe ale si megblɔ ene.”
36 It happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that look, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
Eteƒe medidi o la, wova do henɔ avi fam. Fia la kple eŋumewo hã fa avi vevie.
37 And David mourned for his son every day.
Absalom si yi Talmai, Amihud ƒe vi Gesuri fia gbɔ. Ke Fia David faa via ŋutsu la gbe sia gbe.
38 And Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and was there three years.
Absalom si yi Gesur eye wònɔ afi ma ƒe etɔ̃.
39 And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled about the death of Amnon.
Esi Fia David dzudzɔ Amnon fafa la, edi vevie be yeagakpɔ ye vi Absalom.
