2 Samuel 13
1 David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.
Bangʼ kinde moko, Amnon wuod Daudi nochako gombo Tamar, nyako ma jaber mane nyamin Abisalom wuod Daudi.
2 He wanted [to have sex with] [EUP] his half-sister very much, with the result that he made himself sick [thinking about her all the time]. But it was not possible for Amnon to get her, because she was a virgin, [so they kept men away from her].
Chuny Amnon ne chandore mobedo matuo nikech wach nyamin-gi Tamar, nimar ne en nyako ngili, kuom mano ne tek mondo otim kode gimoro.
3 But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.
Koro Amnon ne nigi osiepne miluongo ni Jonadab wuod Shimea, ma owadgi Daudi. Jonadab ne en ngʼat ma riekone richo.
4 [One day] Jonadab said to Amnon, “You are the king’s son, but every day I see that [RHQ] you seem very depressed/sad. What is your problem?” Amnon replied, “I (am in love/want to sleep) [EUP] with Tamar, my half-brother Absalom’s sister.”
Nopenjo Amnon niya, “Yaye wuod ruoth, angʼo momiyo inenori mokuyo pile ka pile? Ok diwachna gima timi?” Amnon nodwoke niya, “Ahero Tamar ma nyamin owadwa Abisalom.”
5 Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend that you are sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Allow my half-sister Tamar to come and give me some food to eat. She can prepare the food while I am watching her. Then she can serve it to me herself.’”
Jonadab nowachone niya, “Dhiyo inind e kitanda ka iwuondri ni ituo. Ka wuonu obiro neni, to wachne ni, ‘Daher mondo nyamera ma Tamar obi omiya gimoro acham. Yie mondo obi otedna chiemo kaneno mondo mi anene kaka otedo; kendo acham chiemo kotingʼo e lwete.’”
6 So Amnon lay down, and pretended that he was sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “[I am sick; ] please allow my half-sister Tamar to come and make a couple scones/dumplings for me while I am watching, and then she can serve them to me.”
Omiyo Amnon nonindo kowuondore ni otuo. Kane ruoth obiro nene, Amnon nowachone niya, “Daher mondo nyamera ma Tamar obi olosna makati moro mopogore gi mapile kaneno, mondo mi achame kotingʼe e lwete.”
7 So David sent a message to Tamar in the palace, saying “Amnon [is sick and he wants you to] go to his house and prepare some food for him.”
Daudi nooro wach ne Tamar e dala ruoth kama: “Dhi e od owadu Amnon mondo itedne chiemo.”
8 So Tamar went to Amnon’s house, where he was lying in bed. She took some dough and kneaded it, and formed it into some scones/dumplings while he was watching her. Then she baked them.
Omiyo Tamar nodhi e od owadgi ma Amnon mane oyudo nindo. Nokawo mogo modwalo mi otedo makati koneno.
9 She took them out of the pan and put them [on a plate] in front of him, but he refused to eat them. Then he said to everyone else in the room, “All the rest of you, leave me now!” So all the others left his [room].
Eka nokawo gima notedoe mi omiye makati, to notamore chamo. Amnon nowachone niya, “Riemb jogi duto oko.” Omiyo ji duto nowuok oko oweye.
10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room and serve it to me.” So Tamar took into his room the scones/dumplings that she had made.
Eka Amnon nowachone Tamar niya, “Kel chiemo kor nindona koni mondo mi achiem kitingʼona chiemo e lweti.” Kendo Tamar nokawo makati mano tedo motero ni Amnon owadgi kor nindone.
11 But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”
Kane oterone chiemo mondo ocham nomake githuon koywaye mowachone niya, “Nyamera, bi wanind e kitandana ka.”
12 She replied, “No, do not force me to do such a disgraceful thing! We never do things like that in Israel! That would be awful/terrible!
En to nodwoke niya, “Kik itim gima kama, owadwa. Kik ichuna. Gima kama ok onego timre e Israel! Kik itim tim marachni.
13 As for me, if I did that, I would not be able to [RHQ] endure being disgraced by having done that. And as for you, everyone in Israel would condemn you for having done such a disgraceful deed. So I plead with you, talk to the king. I am sure that he will allow me to marry you.”
An to dabed nade? Wichkuot machal kama dater kanye? To in to? Dibed machal kaka achiel kuom joricho mofuwo e Israel. Kiyie to wuo gi ruoth; ok obi tamore mondo kik ikenda.”
14 But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.
To notamore winje, to kaka notek moloye, noterore kode githuon.
15 Then Amnon hated her very much. He hated her much more than he had desired her. He said to her, “Get up and get out of here!”
Eka Amnon nosin mojok kode ahinya. Chutho, nosin mojok kode moloyo kaka ne ohere. Amnon nowachone niya, “Chungi kendo wuog idhi!”
16 But she said to him, “No! It would be very wrong for you to send me away. It would be worse than what you just did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
Nodwoke niya, “Ooyo. Riemba kama biro bedo marach moloyo kata mana rach misetimona.” To nodagi winje.
17 He summoned his personal servant and said to him, “Take this woman outside, away from me, and lock the door [so that she cannot come in again]!”
Noluongo jatije mowachone ni, Gol dhakoni oko ka kendo ilor dhoot matek bangʼe.
18 So the servant put her outside and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with long sleeves, which was the clothing that was usually worn by the unmarried daughters of the king at that time.
Omiyo jatije nogole oko moloro dhoot matek bangʼe. Noyudo nyakono orwako law molos maber manyilni mane itwangʼo ni nyiri ngili ma nyi joka ruoth.
19 But Tamar tore the long robe that she was wearing, and put ashes on her head [to show that she was very sad]. Then she put her hands on her head [to show that she was grieving], and she went away, crying.
Tamar noolo buru e wiye mi noyiecho lawe manyilni mane otwangʼ maber mane oyudo orwako. Nomako wiye gi lwete kendo nodhi koywak matek.
20 Her brother Absalom [saw her and] said to her, “Has your half-brother Amnon [DOU] forced you to have sex with him [EUP]? Please, my sister, do not tell anyone, and do not become depressed/sad.” So Tamar went to live in Absalom’s house, and she was very sad and lonely.
Owadgi ma Abisalom nopenjo niya, “Dibedni owadu ma Amnon osebedo kodi e achiel? Koro sani lingʼ mos nyamera; en owadu. Kik wachni chand chunyi.” Kendo Tamar nodak gi Abisalom e ode, ka en dhako mokuyo.
21 When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.
Ruoth Daudi iye nowangʼ ahinya kane owinjo wechegi duto.
22 And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.
Abisalom ne ok owacho gimoro maber kata marach ni Amnon; to nosin kod Amnon nikech ne osekuodo wi Tamar nyamin-gi.
23 Two years later, Absalom’s servants were shearing sheep at Baal-Hazor, which is near [a town named] Ephraim. [When they finished shearing the sheep, they celebrated], and Absalom invited all the king’s sons [to come and celebrate].
Bangʼ higni ariyo, kane jongʼad yie romb Abisalom ni Baal Hazor machiegni gi tongʼ Efraim, noluongo yawuot ruoth duto mondo obi kanyo.
24 Absalom went to the king and said to him, “Sir, my servants have been shearing my sheep. Please come with your officials [to celebrate] with us!”
Abisalom nodhi ir ruoth mowachone niya, “Jatichni osechoko joge mangʼado yie rombe. Bende ruoth kod jodonge diyie bi?”
25 But the king replied, “No, my son, it would not be good for all of us to go, because it would cause you to do a lot of work and spend a lot of money for food.” Absalom continued urging him, but the king would not go. Instead, he said that he hoped/desired that God would bless them [while they celebrated].
Ruoth nodwoke niya, “Ooyo wuoda.” Waduto ok onego wabi, wabiro miyi tingʼ mapek. Kata obedo ni Abisalom nomedo hombe, to pod nodagi dhi, makmana ne oyiene ni odhi nyime gi nyasino.
26 Then Absalom said, “If you will not go, please allow my half-brother Amnon to go with us.” But the king replied, “Why [do you want] him to go with you?”
Eka Abisalom nowacho niya, “Kare ka kamano to we owadwa Amnon odhi kodwa.” To ruoth nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo dodhi kodu?”
27 But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.
To Abisalom nohombe, omiyo noyiene mi gidhi gi Amnon to gi yawuot ruoth mamoko.
28 [So they all went. And at the celebration], Absalom commanded his servants, “Notice when Amnon has become a bit drunk from the wine. Then when I signal to you, kill him. Do not be afraid; you will be doing this [only] because I told you [RHQ] to do it. So be courageous and do it!”
Abisalom nosechiko jotijene niya, “Winjuru! Ka Amnon osemetho momer, to anawachnu ni, Goyeuru ma unege. Kik ubed maluor. Donge an ema asechikou? Beduru motegno kendo ma jochir.”
29 So Absalom’s servants did what Absalom told them to do. [They killed Amnon]. All the rest of David’s sons [saw what happened and] fled, riding on their mules.
Omiyo jotije Abisalom notimo ni Amnon kaka nosechikgi. Eka yawuot ruoth duto nochungʼ moidho kanjegi moringo.
30 While they were on their way home, someone [went quickly and] reported to David, “Absalom has killed all of your other sons; none of them is still alive!”
Kane pod gin e yo, wach nochopo ne Daudi niya, “Abisalom osenego yawuot ruoth duto; maonge kata achiel kuomgi modongʼ.”
31 The king stood up, tore his clothes [because he was extremely sad], and then he threw himself down on the ground. All the servants who were there also tore their clothes.
Ruoth nochungʼ malo, noyiecho lepe mi onindo piny kendo jotijene duto nochungʼ bute ka lepgi oyiech.
32 But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “Your Majesty, [I am sure that] they have not killed all your sons. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead, because Absalom has determined to do this ever since the day that Amnon raped [EUP] his half-sister Tamar.
To Jonadab wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi, nowachone niya, “Ruodha kik par ni gisenego yawuot ruoth duto. En mana Amnon kende ema otho. Abisalom osebedo gi paroni e chunye chakre chiengʼ mane Amnon oterore gi nyamin-gi Tamar githuon.
33 So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”
Ruodha ma en ruoth ok onego kaw wach mar tho yawuot ruoth ka gimoro. En mana Amnon kende ema otho.”
34 In the meantime, Absalom ran away. Just then, the soldier/sentry [who was standing on the city wall] saw a large crowd of people coming down the hill along the road from Horonaim. [He ran and told the king what he had seen].
Noyudo ka Abisalom oseringo modhi opondo. Koro ngʼat mane rito notingʼo wangʼe moneno ji mangʼeny moa yo podho chiengʼ ka gilor e bath got. Jaritno nodhi ir ruoth monyise ni, Aneno ji kalor e bath got, yo Horonaim.
35 Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”
Jonadab nowachone ruoth niya, “Ne yawuot ruoth osechopo ka; otimore mana kaka jatichni nowacho.”
36 And as soon as he said that, David’s sons came in. They all started crying, and David and all his officials also cried very much.
Kane otieko wuoyo, yawuot ruoth nochopo ka gigoyo nduru matek. Ruoth bende gi jotichne duto noywak malit ahinya.
37 But Absalom had fled. He went to stay with the king of [the] Geshur [region], who was Talmai the son of Ammihud. Absalom stayed there for three years. David mourned for his son Amnon for a long time,
Abisalom noringo modhi ir Talmai wuod Amihud ruodh Geshur. To Ruoth Daudi noywago wuode pile pile.
Bangʼ ka Abisalom oseringo modhi Geshur, nobet kuno kuom higni adek.
39 but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
Eka chuny ruoth nogombo neno Abisalom, nimar chunye nosea e wach tho mar Amnon.
