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.
Abusaalomu, mutabani wa Dawudi yalina mwannyina omulungi, omubalagavu erinnya lye Tamali, naye Amunoni omu ku batabani ba Dawudi omulala n’ayagala okwebaka naye.
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.
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. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man.
Naye Amunoni yalina mukwano gwe ennyo, eyayitibwanga Yonadabu mutabani wa Simeeya mukulu wa Dawudi, eyali omusajja omukujjukujju.
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."
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 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.'"
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 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."
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 your brother Amnon and prepare food for him."
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 while he watched, and baked 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 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.
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 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.
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 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."
Naye bwe yagimusembereza okulya n’amukwata, n’amugamba nti, “Jjangu weebake nange, mwannyinaze.”
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.
N’amuddamu nti, “Nedda, mwannyinaze, tonkwata n’amaanyi. Ekyo tekikolwa mu Isirayiri. Tokola kya kivve bwe kityo.
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."
Nsaasira, nnadda wa obuswavu? Ate ggwe, onoobeera ng’omu ku basajja abasirusiru mu Isirayiri. Nkwegayiridde yogera ne kabaka, tajja kukuziyiza nkufumbirwe.”
14 However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she was, he overpowered her and raped her.
Naye n’agaana okumuwuliriza, n’amukwata olw’empaka, kubanga yali amusinza amaanyi, ne yeebaka naye.
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."
Oluvannyuma Amunoni n’amukyawa nnyo nnyini, okusinga ne bwe yamwagala, n’amulagira nti, “Golokoka ofulume.”
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.
Tamali n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda! Okungoba kibi okusinga ekikolwa ky’onkoze.” Naye n’agaana okumuwuliriza.
17 Then he called the young man who served him, and said, "Send this one away 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 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.
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 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.
Tamali n’ateeka evvu mu mutwe gwe, n’ayuza ekyambalo kye, n’ateeka omukono ku mutwe gwe n’agenda ng’akaaba.
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.
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 angry. But he did not inflict pain on the spirit of his son Amnon, because he loved him, for he was his firstborn.
Kabaka Dawudi bwe yakiwulira, n’asunguwala nnyo.
22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had violated his sister Tamar.
Naye Abusaalomu n’atabaako kigambo ky’ayogera ne Amunoni, ekirungi oba ekibi, kyokka n’akyawa Amunoni kubanga yayonoonyesa Tamali mwannyina.
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.
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 Absalom came to the king, and said, "See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your 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 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.
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 Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." The king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"
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 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.
Naye Abusaalomu n’amwegayirira nnyo okutuusa bwe yakkiriza Amunoni n’abaana ba kabaka bonna okugenda naye.
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."
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 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.
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 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."
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 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.
Kabaka n’agolokoka n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, ne yeebaka mu ttaka n’abaddu be bonna abaaliwo ne bayuza ebyambalo byabwe.
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.
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 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."
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 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."
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 Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming. It is as your servant said."
Awo Yonadabu n’agamba kabaka nti, “Laba abaana ba kabaka bajja; kituukiridde omuddu wo kye yayogedde.”
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.
Bwe yali yakamala okwogera, abaana ba kabaka ne bayingira nga bakuba ebiwoobe. Kabaka n’abaddu be nabo ne bakaaba nnyo nnyini.
37 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 And Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and was there three years.
Abusaalomu n’amala e Gesuli emyaka esatu.
39 And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled about the death of Amnon.
Naye omutima gwa Dawudi ne gwegomba okulaba ku Abusaalomu, kubanga yali akubagizibbwa olw’okufa kwa Amunoni.
