2 Samyèl 13

1 Pi tà, apre sa Absalom, fis a David la te gen yon sè byen bèl ki te rele Tamar e Amnon, fis a David la te renmen li.

Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

2 Amnon te tèlman fristre akoz sè li, Tamar, ke sa te fè li vin malad, paske li te vyèj e li te sanble difisil pou Amnon fè yon bagay ak li.

And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

3 Men Amnon te gen yon zanmi ki te rele Jonadab, fis a Schimea a, frè David. Epi Jonadab te yon nonm byen rize.

But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.

4 Li te di li: “O fis a wa a, poukisa ou deprime maten apre maten konsa? Èske ou p ap di m sa?” Epi Amnon te di li: “Mwen tonbe nan renmen avèk Tamar, sè a frè m nan, Absalom.”

And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

5 Alò, Jonadab te di li: “Kouche sou kabann ou e fè kòmsi ou malad. Lè papa ou vin wè ou, di li: ‘Souple, kite sè m nan, Tamar vin ban m manje. Kite li prepare manje a devan zye m, pou mwen kapab wè li e manje manje a soti nan men li.’”

Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her hand.

6 Konsa, Amnon te kouche e te fè tankou li te malad. Lè wa a te vin wè li, Amnon te di a wa a: “Souple, kite sè m nan, Tamar vini fè kèk gato devan zye m, pou m kab manje nan men li.”

So Amnon went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food from her hand.

7 Alò, David te voye lakay pou Tamar. Li te di: “Ale koulye a lakay frè ou a, Amnon e prepare manje pou li.”

Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

8 Konsa, Tamar te ale lakay Amnon pandan li te kouche a. Li te pran boul pen an, li te fwote l, li te fè gato devan zye li e te kwit gato yo.

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.

9 Li te pran chodyè a pou te lonje mete yo devan li, men li te refize manje. Epi Amnon te di: “Fè tout moun sòti devan m.” Konsa tout moun te sòti devan li.

And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.

10 Alò, Amnon te di a Tamar: “Mennen manje a nan chanm dòmi mwen an, pou m kab manje li nan men ou.” Konsa, Tamar te pran gato ke li te fè yo e te mennen yo antre nan chanm dòmi kote frè li a, Amnon.

Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.

11 Lè li te mennen kote li pou manje, Amnon te kenbe li e te di li: “Vin kouche avè m, sè mwen.”

And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.

12 Men li te reponn li: “Non, frè mwen, pa vyole mwen! Paske bagay konsa yo pa fèt an Israël. Pa fè dega sila a!

And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.

13 Pou mwen menm, kote mwen ta kab livre a wont sa a? Epi pou ou menm, ou va tankou yon moun ranpli avèk foli an Israël. Pou sa, souple, pale avèk wa a, paske li p ap anpeche ou pran m.”

What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep me from you.

14 Sepandan, li pa t koute li. Akoz Amnon te pi fò pase li, li te vyole li, e te kouche avèk li.

But he would not give attention to what she said: but being stronger than she, he took her by force, and had connection with her.

15 Epi Amnon te vin rayi li avèk yon trè gwo rayisman. Rayisman avèk sila li te rayi li a te pi gran pase renmen avèk sila li te renmen li an. Amnon te di li: “Leve, sòti!”

Then Amnon was full of hate for her, hating her with a hate greater than his earlier love for her. And he said to her, Get up and be gone.

16 Men li te di a li: “Non, paske mal sa a ke w ap fè nan voye m ale a pi mal pase lòt ke ou te fè m nan!” Men li pa t koute li.

And she said to him, Not so, my brother, for this great wrong in sending me away is worse than what you did to me before. But he gave no attention to her.

17 Alò, li te rele jennonm ki t ap okipe li a, e te di: “Koulye a, jete fanm sa deyò prezans mwen e kadnase pòt la dèyè l.”

Then he gave a cry to the servant who was waiting on him and said, Put this woman out, and let the door be locked after her.

18 Alò, li te genyen yon rad avèk manch long, paske se te konsa fi vyèj a wa yo te konn abiye an manto. Epi sèvitè l te mennen Tamar deyò e te kadnase pòt la dèyè li.

Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking the door after her.

19 Tamar te mete sann yo sou tèt li e te chire manch long yo nan rad sou li a. Li te mete men li sou tèt li, li te sòti e t ap kriye fò pandan li prale a.

And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly.

20 Alò, Absalom, frè li a te di li: “Èske Amnon, frè ou a te avèk ou? Men koulye a, rete an silans, sè mwen, li se frè ou. Pa mete afè sa a sou kè.” Pou sa, Tamar te rete e te dezole lakay Absalom, frè li a.

And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother's house.

21 Alò, lè David te tande tout koze sila yo, li te vin byen fache.

But when King David had news of all these things he was very angry; but he did not make trouble for Amnon his son, for he was dear to David, being his oldest son.

22 Men Absalom pa t pale ak Amnon anyen, ni bon, ni mal; paske Absalom te rayi Amnon akoz li te vyole sè li a, Tamar.

But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.

23 Alò, li te vin rive apre dezan nèt ke Absalom te gen moun pou taye lenn mouton Baal-Hatsor ki toupre Ephraïm, e Absalom te envite tout fis a wa yo.

Now after two full years, Absalom had men cutting the wool of his sheep in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim: and he sent for all the king's sons to come to his feast.

24 Absalom te vin kote wa a e te di: “Gade byen, sèvitè ou a genyen moun k ap taye lenn mouton. Souple, kite wa a avèk sèvitè li yo ale avèk sèvitè ou.”

And Absalom came to the king and said, See now, your servant is cutting the wool of his sheep; will the king and his servants be pleased to come?

25 Men wa a te di a Absalom: “Non, fis mwen, se pa tout moun ki pou ale, paske nou va yon fado pou ou.” Malgre li te ankouraje li, li pa t ale, men li te beni li.

And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, or the number will be over-great for you. And he made his request again, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.

26 Alò, Absalom te di: “Si se pa sa, souple kite frè m nan, Amnon, ale avèk nou.” Epi wa a te di li: “Poukisa li dwe ale avèk ou?”

Then Absalom said, If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to go with you?

27 Men lè Absalom te ankouraje li, li te kite Amnon avèk tout fis a wa yo ale avèk li.

But Absalom went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.

28 Absalom te kòmande sèvitè li yo. Li te di: “Gade koulye a, lè kè Amnon kontan avèk diven an, lè mwen di nou: ‘Frape Amnon’, alò, mete li a lanmò. Pa pè! Èske se pa mwen menm ki kòmande nou? Pran kouraj e rete brav.”

Now Absalom had given orders to his servants, saying, Now take note when Amnon's heart is glad with wine; and when I say to you, Make an attack on Amnon, then put him to death without fear: have I not given you orders? be strong and without fear.

29 Sèvitè a Absalom yo te fè Amnon jis jan ke Absalom te kòmande a. Epi tout fis a wa yo te leve monte milèt pa yo e te sove ale.

So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as Absalom had given them orders. Then all the king's sons got up, and every man got on his beast and went in flight.

30 Alò, se te pandan ke yo te nan wout la yon rapò te rive kote David ki te di: “Absalom te frape fè tonbe tout fis a wa yo e nanpwen youn nan yo ki te rete.”

Now while they were on their way, news was given to David that Absalom had put to death all the sons of the king and that not one of them was still living.

31 Konsa, wa a te leve. Li te chire rad li e te kouche atè, epi tout sèvitè li yo te kanpe akote avèk rad yo chire.

Then the king got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.

32 Jonadab, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te reponn: “Pa kite mèt mwen an sipoze ke yo te mete a lanmò tout jennonm yo, fis a wa yo. Se sèl Ammon ki mouri. Se sa ki te entansyon Absalom. Afè sa a te vin detèmine depi jou ke li te vyole sè li a, Tamar.

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, Let not my lord have the idea that all the sons of the king have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead: this has been purposed by Absalom from the day when he took his sister Tamar by force.

33 Alò pou sa, pa kite mèt mwen, wa a, pran rapò sa a a kè, ki vle di ‘tout fis a wa yo mouri’, paske se sèl Amnon ki mouri.”

So now, let not my lord the king take this thing to heart, with the idea that all the king's sons are dead: for only Amnon is dead.

34 Alò, Absalom te sove ale deja. Epi jennonm ki te gadyen an te leve zye li gade e vwala, anpil moun t ap vini soti nan wout la dèyè li akote baz mòn nan.

But Absalom went in flight. And the young man who kept the watch, lifting up his eyes, saw that a great band of people was coming down the slope by the way of the Horons; and the watchman came and gave word to the king, saying, I saw men coming down by the way of the Horons, from the hillside.

35 Jonadab te di a wa a: “Gade byen, men fis a wa yo gen tan vini! Menm jan avèk pawòl sèvitè ou a, se konsa sa fèt.”

And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.

36 Depi li fin pale a, vwala, fis a wa yo te vini e te leve vwa yo pou te kriye. Konsa, wa la menm, avèk tout sèvitè li yo te kriye byen anmè.

And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.

37 Men Absalom te sove ale e te ale kote Talmaï, fis a Ammihur a, wa a Gueschur a. David te kriye fè lamantasyon pou fis li a chak jou.

So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.

38 Konsa, Absalom te sove ale nan Gueschur e te rete la, pandan twazan.

And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.

39 Wa David te byen vle ale kote Absalom, paske li te pran rekonfò konsènan Amnon, akoz li te mouri.

And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.
