< Samuel 2 13 >
1 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.
Forsothe it was doon aftir these thingis, that Amon, the sone of Dauid, louyde the faireste sistir, Thamar bi name, of Absolon, sone of Dauid.
2 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.
And Amon perischide greetli for hir, so that he was sijk for `the loue of hir. For whanne she was a virgyn, it semyde hard to hym, that he schulde do ony thing vnonestli with hir.
3 Xɔlɔ̃ dzeaye aɖe nɔ Amnon si; eŋkɔe nye Yonadab, ame si nye David nɔviŋutsu, Simea ƒe vi.
Forsothe a freend, Jonadab bi name, sone of Semmaa, brother of Dauid, `was to Amon; Jonadab was a ful prudent man.
4 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.”
Which seide to Amon, Sone of the kyng, whi art thou maad feble so bi leenesse bi alle daies? whi schewist thou not to me? And Amon seide to him, Y loue Thamar, the sister of my brother Absolon.
5 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.”
And Jonadab answeride to hym, Li thou on thi bed, and feyne thou sikenesse; and whanne thi fadir cometh, that he visyte thee, seie thou to hym, Y preye, come Thamar, my sister, that sche yyue mete to me, and make a seew, that Y ete of hir hond.
6 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.
Therfor Amon lay doun, and `bigan as to be sijk. And whanne the kyng hadde come to visite him, Amon seide to the kyng, Y biseche, come Thamar, my sistir, that sche make twei soupyngis bifor my iyen, and that Y take of hir hond meete maad redi.
7 David lɔ̃ eye wòɖo du ɖe Tamar be wòayi Amnon ƒe xɔ me eye wòaɖa nane nɛ.
Therfor Dauid sente to the hows of Thamar, and seide, Come thou in to the hows of Amon, thi brother, and make thou seew to hym.
8 Ale Tamar yi Amnon ƒe xɔ me ale be Amnon nakpɔ ale si wòablu amɔ lae.
And Thamar cam in to the hows of Amon, hir brother. Sotheli he lai; and sche took mele, and medlide, and made moist bifor hise iyen, and sethide soupyngis;
9 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.
and sche took that, that sche hadde sode, and helde out, and settide byfor hym, and he nolde ete. And Amon seide, Putte ye out alle men fro me. And whanne thei hadden put out alle men,
10 Amnon gblɔ na Tamar be, “Tsɔ nuɖuɖu la va nye dɔƒe eye nàdoe nam.” Ale Tamar tsɔ nuɖuɖu la yii.
Amon seide to Thamar, Bere the mete in to the closet, that Y ete of thin hond. Therfor Thamar took the soupingis whiche sche hadde maad, and brouyte in to Amon, hir brother, in the closet.
11 Esi wòtsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume la, Amnon gblɔ nɛ be, “Lɔlɔ̃tɔ, va mlɔ gbɔnye.”
And whanne sche hadde proferid mete to hym, he took hir, and seide, Come thou, my sistir, li thou with me.
12 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.
And sche answeride to hym, My brother, nyle thou, nyle thou oppresse me, for this is not leueful in Israel; nyle thou do this foli.
13 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.”
For Y schal not mow bere my schenschip, and thou schalt be as oon of the vnwise men in Israel; but rather speke thou to the kyng, and he schal not denye me to thee.
14 Amnon gbe meɖo toe o, ke boŋ esi wòsẽ wu Tamar ta la, elée sesẽtɔe hedɔ egbɔ.
Sotheli he nolde assente to hir preieris; but he was strengere in myytis, and oppresside hir, and lay with hir.
15 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!”
And `Amon hadde hir hateful bi ful grete haterede, so that the hatrede was gretter, bi which he hatide hir, than the loue bi which he louyde hir bifor. And Amon seide to hir, Rise thou, and go.
16 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.
And sche answeride to hym, This yuel is more which thou doist now ayens me, and puttist me out, than that, that thou didist bifore. And he nolde here hir; but whanne the child was clepide,
17 Eyɔ eƒe subɔla eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “He nyɔnu sia do goe le afi sia eye nàtu ʋɔa ɖe eyome.”
that mynystride to hym, he seide, Putte thou out this womman fro me, and close thou the dore aftir hir.
18 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.
And sche was clothid with a coote doun to the heele; for the kyngis douytris virgyns vsiden siche clothis. Therfor the mynystre of Amon puttide hir out, and closide the dore aftir hir.
19 Tamar dze awu la le eɖokui ŋuti, lɔ dzowɔ kɔ ɖe tame, kpla asi ta, henɔ avi fam kple ɣli eye wòdzo.
And sche spreynte aische to hir heed, whanne the coote to `the heele was to-rent, and whanne the hondis weren put on hir heed, and sche yede entrynge and criynge.
20 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.
Forsothe Absolon, hir brother, seide to hir, Whether Amon, thi brothir, hath leyn with thee? But `now, sister, be stille; he is thi brother, and turmente not thin herte for this thing. Therfor Thamar dwellide morenynge in the hows of Absolon, hir brothir.
21 Esi Fia David se nya si dzɔ la, edo dɔmedzoe ŋutɔ.
Forsothe whanne `kyng Dauid hadde herd these wordis, he was ful sori, and he nolde make sore the spyrit of Amon, his sone; for he louyde Amon, for he was the firste gendrid `to hym.
22 Absalom lé fu Amnon le esi wògblẽ nɔvia, Tamar ta ale gbegbe be megaƒoa nu kplii gɔ̃ hã o.
Forsothe Absolon spak not to Amon, nether yuel nether good; for Absolon hatide Amon, for he hadde defoulid Thamar, his sistir.
23 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.
Forsothe it was doon aftir the tyme of twei yeer, that the scheep of Absolon weren shorun in Baalasor, which is bisidis Effraym. And Absolon clepide alle the sones of the kyng.
24 Eyi fofoa David gbɔ hekpe eya hã kple eŋumewo be woava kpɔ dzidzɔ kple ye.
And he cam to the kyng, and seide to hym, Lo! the scheep of thi seruaunt ben schorun; Y preye, come the king with hise seruauntis to his seruaunt.
25 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.
And the kyng seide to Absolon, Nyle thou, my sone, nyle thou preye, that alle we come, and greeue thee. Forsothe whanne he constreynede Dauid, and he nolde go, he blesside Absolon.
26 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?”
And Absolon seide to Dauid, If thou nylt come, Y byseche, come nameli Amon, my brother, with vs. And the kyng seide to hym, It is no nede, that he go with thee.
27 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.
Therfor Absolon constreynede hym; and he delyuerede with him Amon, and alle the sones of the kyng. And Absolon hadde maad a feeste as the feeste of a kyng.
28 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!”
Sotheli Absolon comaundide to hise children, and seide, Aspie ye, whanne Amon is drunkun of wyn, and Y seie to you, Smyte ye, and sle hym. Nyle ye drede, for Y am that comaunde to you; be ye strengthid, and be ye stronge men.
29 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.
Therfor the children of Absolon diden ayens Amon, as Absolon hadde comaundide to hem; and alle the sones of the kyng risiden, and stieden ech on his mule, and fledden.
30 Esi wonɔ mɔa dzi la, David se be, “Absalom wu fia la ƒe viwo katã eye wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã mesusɔ o.”
And whanne thei yeden yit in the weie, fame cam to the kyng, and seide, Absolon hath kild alle the sones of the king, and `nameli not oon lefte of hem.
31 Fia la tsi tsitre, dze eƒe awuwo eye wòmlɔ anyigba, le konyifafa me, eŋumewo hã dze woƒe awuwo le ŋɔdzi kple konyifafa ta.
Therfor the kyng roos, and to-rente hise clothis, and felde doun on the erthe; and alle hise seruauntis that stoden nyy to hym, to-renten her clothis.
32 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.
Sotheli Jonadab, sone of Semmaa, brother of Dauid, answeride and seide, My lord the kyng, gesse not, that alle the children, and sones of the kyng, ben slayn; Amon aloone is deed, for he was set in hatrede to Absolon, fro the day in which he oppresside Thamar, his sistir.
33 Mele be nye aƒetɔ, fia la naƒo to nya sia bena fiaviŋutsuawo katã ku o. Amnon koe ku.”
Now therfor, my lord the kyng, set not this word on his herte, and seie, Alle the sones of the kyng ben slayn; for Amon aloone is deed.
34 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.
Forsothe Absolon fledde. And a child aspiere reiside hise iyen, and bihelde, and lo! myche puple cam bi a weye out of the comyn weie bi the side of the hil.
35 Yonadab gblɔ na fia la be, “Kpɔ ɖa, woawoe nye emawo! Viwò ŋutsuwo gbɔna ɖa abe ale si megblɔ ene.”
And Jonadab seide to the kyng, Lo! the sones of the kyng comen; bi the word of thi seruaunt, so it is doon.
36 Eteƒe medidi o la, wova do henɔ avi fam. Fia la kple eŋumewo hã fa avi vevie.
And whanne he hadde ceessid to speke, also the sones of the kyng apperiden; and thei entriden, and reisiden her vois, and wepten; but also the kyng and alle his seruauntis wepten bi ful greet wepyng.
37 Absalom si yi Talmai, Amihud ƒe vi Gesuri fia gbɔ. Ke Fia David faa via ŋutsu la gbe sia gbe.
Forsothe Absolon fledde, and yede to Tholmai, sone of Amyur, the kyng of Gessur. Therfor Dauid biweilide his sone Amon in many daies.
38 Absalom si yi Gesur eye wònɔ afi ma ƒe etɔ̃.
Forsothe Absolon, whanne he hadde fled, and hadde come in to Gessur, was there thre yeer.
39 Esi Fia David dzudzɔ Amnon fafa la, edi vevie be yeagakpɔ ye vi Absalom.
And Dauid ceesside to pursue Absolon, for he was coumfortid on the deeth of Amon.
