< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.
A MAHOPE iho o ia mea, he kaikuwahine maikai ko Abesaloma ke keikikane a Davida, o Tamara kona inoa: aloha mai la o Amenona ke keikikane a Davida ia ia.
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].
Pela ka pono ole ana o Amenona, a mai iho la ia no kona kaikuwahine no Tamara; no ka mea, he puupaa ia: aole i hiki pono ia Amenona ke hana aku i kekahi mea ia ia.
3 But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.
He hoalauna ko Amenona, o Ionadaba kona inoa, ke keiki a Simea a ko Davida kaikuaana: a he kanaka maalea loa o Ionadaba.
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.”
I aku la kela ia ia, O oe ke keiki a ke alii, heaha la kau mea e wiwi ai i kela la i keia la? Aole oe e hai mai ia'u, ea? I mai la o Amenona ia ia, Ua aloha au ia Tamara i ke kaikuwahine o kuu kaikaina o Abesaloma.
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.’”
I aku la o Ionadaba ia ia, E moe iho oe ma kou wahi moe, a e hoomaimai iho oe: a hele mai kou makuakane e ike ia oe, e i aku oe ia ia, Ea, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele mai o Tamara kuu kaikuwahine e haawi mai ia i ai na'u, e hoomakaukau ia i ka ai imua o ko'u mau maka, i ike au, a ai iho hoi ma kona lima.
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.”
Moe iho la o Amenona, a hoomaimai ia ia iho: a hele mai ke alii e ike ia ia, i aku la o Amenona i ke alii, E, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele mai o Tamara kuu kaikuwahine, a hana iho na'u i elua wahi popo palaoa imua o kuu mau maka, i ai iho au ma kona lima.
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.”
Alaila, hoouna aku la o Davida io Tamara la ma kona wahi, i aku la, E hele oe ano i ka hale o kou kaikunane o Amenona, a e hana oe i wahi ai nana.
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.
Hele aku la o Tamara i ka hale o kona kaikunane o Amenona, a e moe ana no ia. Lawe ae la kela i ka palaoa, kawili ae la, a hana iho la i na popo imua o kona maka, a pulehu iho la i ua mau popo la.
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].
Lawe ae la ia i ke pa, a ninini aku la ia mau mea imua ona, aole nae ia i ai. I aku la o Amenona, E hele iwaho na kanaka a pau mai o'u aku nei; I hele aku la na kanaka a pau iwaho mai ona aku la.
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.
I aku la o Amenona ia Tamara, E lawe mai oe i ka ai maloko o ke keena nei i ai iho au ma kou lima, Lawe ae la o Tamara i na popo palaoa ana i hana'i, a halihali mai la iloko o ke keena io Amenona la i kona kaikunane.
11 But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”
Aia lawe mai la ia io na la e ai ai, lalau aku la kela ia ia, i aku la ia ia, E, e moe kaua, e kuu kaikuwahine.
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!
I mai la kela ia ia, Aole, e kuu kaikunane, mai pue wale mai oe ia'u; no ka mea, aole e pono ke hana pela iwaena o ka Iseraela: mai hana oe i keia mea ino.
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.”
A owau la, mahea la uanei au e huna ai i kuu hilahila? A o oe hoi, e like auanei oe me kekahi o ka poe haukae iloko o ka Iseraela. No ia mea ea, e olelo aku oe i ke alii; aole ia e paa ia'u mai ou aku la.
14 But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.
Aole nae ia i hoolohe mai i kona leo; aka, no ka oi o kona ikaika i ko ia la, pue wale aku la kela ia ia, a moe iho la me ia.
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!”
Alaila, mains aku la o Amenona ia ia me ka inaina nui loa: a ua oi aku ka inaina ana i inaina aku ai ia ia, i ke aloha ana i aloha mua aku ai ia ia. I aku la o Amenona ia ia, E ala'e, e hoi.
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.
I mai la kela ia ia, Aohe pono; o keia hala o kou kipaku ana ia'u ua oi aku ia i kela mea au i hana iho nei ia'u: aole nae ia i hoolohe aku ia ia.
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]!”
Kahea aku la ia i kana kauwa, i ka mea i lawelawe nana, i aku la, E kipaku aku oe ia ia nei iwaho mai o'u aku nei, a e hoopaa i ka puka mahope ona.
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.
He kapa onionio maluna ona: pela no i kahikoia'i na kaikamahine puupaa a ke alii. Alaila lawe ae la kana kauwa ia ia iwaho, a hoopaa iho la i ka puka mahope ona.
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.
Lu iho la o Tamara i ka lehuahi maluna o kona poo, haehae ae la i kona kapa onionio maluna ona, kau ae la hoi ia i kona lima maluna o kona poo, a hele aku la e uwe ana.
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.
I aku la o Abesaloma o kona kaikunane ia ia, Ua moe no anei o Amenona kou kaikunane me oe? E noho malie hoi oe, e kuu kaikuwahine, o kou kaikunane kela, mai manao nui oe ma ia mea. A noho mehameha iho la o Tamara ma ka hale o Abesaloma kona kaikunane.
21 When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.
A i ka lohe ana o Davida ke alii ia mau mea a pau, huhu loa iho la ia.
22 And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.
Aole i olelo aku o Abesaloma ia Amenona kona kaikuaana i ka pono, aole hoi i ka hewa: no ka mea, ua inaina aku o Abesaloma ia Amenona, i kona pue wale ana ia Tamara i kona kaikuwahine.
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].
A hala ae la na makahiki okoa elua, he aha ako hipa ko Abesaloma ma Baalahazora e kokoke ana me ko Eperaima: a kono aku la o Abesaloma i na keikikane a pau a ke alii e hele ilaila.
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!”
Hele mai la o Abesaloma i ke alii, i mai la, Aia he aha ako hipa o kau kauwa; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele pu ke alii a me kana poe kauwa me kau kauwa.
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].
I aku la ke alii ia Abesaloma, Aole makou a pau e hele, e kuu keiki, o hookaumaha makou ia oe. Koi mai la kela ia ia; aole nae ia I manao e hele, aka, hoomaikai aku la oia ia ia.
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?”
I mai la o Abesaloma, A i ole, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, o ae mai i kuu kaikuaana ia Amenona e hele pu me makou. I aku la ke alii ia ia, Heaha la kana e hele pu aku ai me oe?
27 But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.
Koi aku la o Abesaloma ia ia, a ae mai la ia e hele pu o Amenona, a o na keikikane a pau a ke alii me ia.
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!”
Kauoha aku la o Abesaloma i kana poe kauwa, i aku la, E nana oukou, a olioli ka naau o Amenona i ka waina; a olelo aku hoi au ia oukou, E pepehi ia Amenona, alaila e pepehi ia ia, mai makau; aole anei au i kauoha aku? I nui ke aho, a e koa hoi.
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.
A hana aku la na kauwa a Abesaloma ia Amenona, e like me ka Abesaloma i kauoha ai: alaila ku ae la na keikikane a pau a ke alii, ae aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o kona hoki, a holo aku la.
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!”
Aia ma ke alanui lakou, haiia mai ia Davida, i ka i ana, Ua pepehi iho la o Abesaloma i na keikikane a pau a ke alii, aole koe kekahi o lakou.
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.
Alaila, ku ae la ke alii, haehae ae la i na kapa ona, a moe iho la ma ka honua, a ku mai la na kauwa ana a pau me ka haehaeia o ko lakou kapa.
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.
Olelo mai la o Ionadaba ko keiki a Simea a ko Davida kaikuaana, i mai la, Mai manao oe, e kuu haku, ua pepehi lakou i ka poe kanaka opiopio a pau, i na keikikane a ke alii: o Amenona wale no ka i make, no ka mea, ua ohumuia keia mea ma ka waha o Abesaloma, mai ka la mai i pue wale aku ai kela i kona kaikuwahine ia Tamara.
33 So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”
Nolaila hoi, mai hookaumaha kuu haku ke alii i kona naau ia mea, me ka manao ua make na keiki a pau a ko alii: o Amenona wale no ka i make.
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].
Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma. A o ke kanaka opiopio e kiai ana, alawa ae la na maka ona iluna, ike aku la, aia la, he nui na kanaka e hele mai ana ma ke ala ma ka aoao o ka puu mahope ona.
35 Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”
I aku la o Ionadaba i ke alii, Aia la, ke hele mai nei na keikikane a ke alii, e like me ka olelo ana a kau kauwa.
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.
A pau ae la ka olelo ana, hiki mai la na keikikane a ke alii, hookiekie ae la lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe aku la: uwe nui loa iho la ke alii a me kana poe kauwa a pau.
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,
Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma, a hele aku la io Talemai la i ke keiki a Amihuda ke alii no Gesura. Kanikau iho la o [Davida] i kana keiki i kela la i keia la.
Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma, a hele aku la i Gesura, noho iho la ilaila ekolu makahiki.
39 but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
Iini loa iho la o Davida ke alii e hele aku io Abesaloma la; no ka mea, ua hooluoluia oia no Amenona, i kona make ana.
