< 2 Samuel 13 >
1 And it cometh to pass afterwards that Absalom son of David hath a fair sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loveth her.
Te phoeiah om tih David capa Absalom tah a ngannu sakthen om. Anih ming tah Tamar tih David capa Amnon loh a lungnah.
2 And Amnon hath distress — even to become sick, because of Tamar his sister, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.
A ngannu Tamar kong ah Amnon te tloh la a yuek. Anih te a oila pueng dongah khat khat a saii ham Amnon mik ah rhaisang.
3 And Amnon hath a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David's brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,
Te vaengah David maya Shimeah capa, a ming ah Jonadab tah Amnon kah a paya la om. Jonadab tah bahoeng aka cueih hlang la om.
4 and saith to him, 'Wherefore [art] thou thus lean, O king's son, morning by morning? dost thou not declare to me?' And Amnon saith to him, 'Tamar — sister of Absalom my brother — I am loving.'
Te dongah anih te, “Ba aih lae mincang bal, mincang bal nang manghai capa he na tattloel aih. Kai taengah na thui mahpawt a?” a ti nah. Te daengah Amnon loh, Ka manuca Absalom ngannu Tamar ka ngaih,” a ti nah.
5 And Jonadab saith to him, 'Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou hast said unto him, 'Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.'
Te dongah anih te Jehonadab loh, “Na thingkong dongah satlo bangla yalh. Nang Te sawt hamla na pa ha pawk vaengah amah taengah, 'Ka ngannu Tamar ha pawk laeh vetih kai buh n'tuh lah mako. Ka mikhmuh ah buhmaeh a saii te ka hmu dae eh. Te daengah ni a kut dongkah ka caak eh?,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
6 And Amnon lieth down, and feigneth himself sick, and the king cometh in to see him, and Amnon saith unto the king, 'Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come, and she maketh before mine eyes two cakes, and I eat from her hand.'
Amnon Te satlo bangla yalh toengloeng tih anih Te sawt hamla manghai te ha pawk. Te vaengah Amnon loh manghai taengah, “Ka ngannu Tamar ha pawk laeh saeh lamtah ka mikhmuh ah vaidam panit ah saii saeh. Te daengah ni anih kut lamkah te ka caak eh?,” a ti nah.
7 And David sendeth unto Tamar, to the house, saying, 'Go, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and make for him food.'
Te dongah David loh Tamar te a im la a tah tih, “Na nganpa Amnon im la cet lamtah anih ham buhmaeh saii pah laeh,” a ti nah.
8 And Tamar goeth to the house of Amnon her brother, and he is lying down, and she taketh the dough, and kneadeth, and maketh cakes before his eyes, and cooketh the cakes,
Tamar Te a nganpa Amnon im la a caeh vaengah anih te ana yalh pah. Vaidamtlam te a loh tih a duep, a duep phoeiah a mikhmuh ah a saii pah. Te phoeiah vaidam te a thong pah.
9 and taketh the frying-pan, and poureth out before him, and he refuseth to eat, and Amnon saith, 'Take ye out every one from me;' and they go out every one from him.
Thi-am te a loh tih a mikhmh ah a poep pah hatah caak hamla a aal. Te phoeiah Amnon loh, “Ka taeng lamkah hlang he boeih tueih uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlang boeih Te anih taeng lamloh nong uh.
10 And Amnon saith unto Tamar, 'Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from thy hand;' and Tamar taketh the cakes that she hath made, and bringeth in to Amnon her brother, into the inner chamber,
Te phoeiah Amnon loh Tamar te, “Imkhui la buhmaeh hang khuen lamtah na kut dongah ka ca eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah vaidam a saii te Tamar loh a loh tih imkhui kah a nganpa Amnon taengla a kun puei.
11 and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold on her, and saith to her, 'Come, lie with me, my sister.'
A caak ham a taengah a tawn pah vaengah tah amah te vik a tuuk tih, “Ka ngannu halo lamtah kamah neh yalh sih,” a ti nah.
12 And she saith to him, 'Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not this folly.
Tedae anih te, “Ka nganpa aw te tlam moenih, kai m'poeih boeh, Israel khuiah te bang te a saii noek moenih. Boethaehalang he saii boeh.
13 And I — whither do I cause my reproach to go? and thou — thou art as one of the fools in Israel; and now, speak, I pray thee, unto the king; for he doth not withhold me from thee.'
Kai he kamah kah kokhahnah neh melam ka caeh eh. Namah khaw Israel khuiah hlang ang boeiloeih bangla na om ve. Manghai taengah thui kanoek lamtah nang taengah tah kai khaw n'hloh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
14 And he hath not been willing to hearken to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbleth her, and lieth with her.
Tedae a ol te yaak ngaih pawh. A ngannu Te rhap a kop tih a yalh puei.
15 And Amnon hateth her — a very great hatred — that greater [is] the hatred with which he hath hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon saith to her, 'Rise, go.'
Te phoeiah tah anih te Amnon loh lat a hnoel tih a hmuhuetnah bahoeng a nah pah. A thiinah vaengkah a hmuhuetnah te a lungnah vaengkah lungnah lakah nah. Te dongah anih te Amnon loh, “Thoo, cet laeh,” a ti nah.
16 And she saith to him, 'Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that thou hast done with me — to send me away;' and he hath not been willing to hearken to her,
Amnon te, “He lakah a tloe la aka len boethae kah a kong a mai he a om moenih. Kai nan saii tih nan haek te,” a ti nah. Tedae anih ol te yaak ngaih voel pawh.
17 and calleth his young man, his servant, and saith, 'Send away, I pray thee, this one from me without, and bolt the door after her;'
Te dongah amah aka khut a taengca te, “Anih te kai taeng lamloh kawtpoeng la tueih uh lamtah anih hnukah thohkhaih te kalh laeh,” a ti nah.
18 — and upon her [is] a long coat, for such upper robes do daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on, — and his servant taketh her out without, and hath bolted the door after her.
Te vaengah a pum dongah pendum angkidung a bai. Te bangTe manghai canu rhoek loh oila kah hnikul la a bai uh. Amnon aka khut loh Tamar te vongvoel la a thak tih a hnukah thohkhaih te kalh.
19 And Tamar taketh ashes for her head, and the long coat that [is] on her she hath rent, and putteth her hand on her head, and goeth, going on and crying;
Tamar loh a lu dongah hmaiphu a phul tih a pum dongkah pendum angkidung khaw a phen. Te phoeiah a kut Te a lu dongah a pingpoei tih a caeh, caeh doeah rhap.
20 and Absalom her brother saith unto her, 'Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] thy brother; set not thy heart to this thing;' and Tamar dwelleth — but desolate — in the house of Absalom her brother.
Te dongah anih te a nganpa Absalom loh, “Na nganpa Amnon a nang taengah aka om? Ka ngannu na hilphah laeh anih a nang nganpa, he olka dongah na lungbuei khueh boeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Tamar tah a nganpa Absalom im ah kho a sak tih pong van.
21 And king David hath heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;
Tedae he rhoek kah olka boeih te manghai David loh a yaak vaengah amah khaw muep sai coeng.
22 and Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled Tamar his sister.
A ngannu Tamar a poeih dongkah olka dongah Absalom loh Amnon te a hmuhuet tih a thae a then akhaw Absalom loh Amnon te voek pawh.
23 And it cometh to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom hath shearers in Baal-Hazor, which [is] with Ephraim, and Absalom calleth for all the sons of the king.
A kum khohnin a pha vaengah Ephraim taengkah Baalhazor ah Absalom ham mul vok a saii uh tih manghai ca rhoek boeih te Absalom loh a khue.
24 And Absalom cometh unto the king, and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath shearers, let the king go, I pray thee, and his servants, with thy servant.'
Te dongah Absalom Te manghai taengla kun tih, “Na sal ham mul aka vo rhoek cet uh pawn ni ke, manghai namah neh, na sal neh a sal rhoekTe ta,” a ti nah.
25 And the king saith unto Absalom, 'Nay, my son, let us not all go, I pray thee, and we are not too heavy on thee;' and he presseth on him, and he hath not been willing to go, and he blesseth him.
Manghai loh Absalom te, “Ka capa te tlam moenih, mamih boeih n'cet tarha mahpawh, Te daengah ni namah te n'nan pawt eh?,” a ti nah. A taengah a cahoeh ngawn dae paan pah ham tah huem pawt tih anih Te yoethen a paek.
26 And Absalom saith, 'If not — let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us;' and the king saith to him, 'Why doth he go with thee?'
Absalom loh, “Te pawt atah ka maya Amnon tah kaimih taengah m'paan mai mako,” a ti nah. Tedae amah te manghai loh, “Balae tih nang te m'paan eh?,” a ti nah.
27 and Absalom urgeth on him, and he sendeth with him Amnon, and all the sons of the king.
Tedae anih te Absalom loh a cahoeh dongah Amnon neh manghai capa rhoek boeih te a taengla a tueih pah.
28 And Absalom commandeth his young men, saying, 'See, I pray thee, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said unto you, Smite Amnon, that ye have put him to death; fear not; is it not because I have commanded you? be strong, yea, become sons of valour.'
Te vaengah Absalom loh a tueihyoeih rhoek te a uen tih, “Misurtui lamloh Amnon kah lungbuei a umya vaengah hmu uh laeh, nangmih taengah, 'Amnon te ngawn uh lamtah duek sak uh, anih te rhih uh boeh, nangmih te kang uen pawt nim? Ning uh lamtah tatthai capa bangla om uh,’ ka ti,” a ti nah.
29 And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and rise do all the sons of the king, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.
Te dongah Absalom kah a uen bangla Amnon te Absalom kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh a saii uh. Te dongah manghai capa rhoek tah boeih thoo uh tih a muli-marhang dongah rhip ngol uh tih rhaelrham uh.
30 And it cometh to pass — they [are] in the way — and the report hath come unto David, saying, 'Absalom hath smitten all the sons of the king, and there is not left of them one;'
Amih te a longpueng uh vaengah olthang tah David taengla pawk coeng tih, “Absalom loh manghai capa rhoekTe boeih a ngawn tih amih te pakhat khaw a hlun moenih,” a ti nah.
31 and the king riseth, and rendeth his garments, and lieth on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] rent garments.
Te dongah manghai te thoo tih a himbai te a phen tih lai dongah yalh. Te vaengah a sal aka pai rhoek boeih long khaw himbai te a phen uh.
32 And Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, answereth and saith, 'Let not 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 by the command of Absalom it hath been appointed from the day of his humbling Tamar his sister;
Tedae David maya Shimeah capa Jonadab loh a doo tih, “Ka boeipa loh manghai capa camoe rhoek la rhenten thui boeh. Amnon amah bueng ni a. ngawn uh. A ngannu Tamar te a poeih pah hnin lamloh anih Te Absalom loh a ka dongah a ngawn tangtae la a khueh coeng.
33 and now, let not my lord the king lay unto his heart the word, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [is] dead.'
Te dongah manghai capa rhoek boeih duek coeng a ti ol Te ka boeipa manghai loh a lungbuei ah khueh boel saeh. Amnon amah bueng ni a. duek,” a ti nah.
34 And Absalom fleeth, and the young man who is watching lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, much people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.
Absalom a yong vaengah rhaltawt camoe te a mik, mik ah a dan. Te vaengah anih hnukah tlang hlaep longpuei ah aka cet pilnam Te yet Te kak a hmuh.
35 And Jonadab saith unto the king, 'Lo, the sons of the king have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.'
Te dongah Jonadab loh manghai taengah, “Manghai capa rhoek ha pawk uh coeng ke, na sal kah ol bangla om tangkhuet,” a ti nah.
36 And it cometh to pass at his finishing to speak, that lo, 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.
A thui Te a khah van neh manghai capa rhoekTe pahoi ha pawk uh. Te vaengah a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh. Te dongah manghai neh a sal rhoek boeih khaw rhahnah neh a nah la hluk hluk rhap uh.
37 And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourneth for his son all the days.
Absalom Te yong tih Geshur manghai Ammihud capa Talmai taengla cet. Tedae a capa dongah hnin takuem nguekcoi.
38 And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there three years;
Absalom Te yong tih Geshuri la aka cet Te kum thum pahoi om.
39 and [the soul of] king David determineth to go out unto Absalom, for he hath been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
Tedae David manghai tah Amnon a duek dongah te hal tih Absalom taengla a caeh ham khaw a toeng.
