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.

And it came to pass after this, that Abshalom the son of David had a handsome sister, whose name was Thamar; and Amnon the son of David loved 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 Amnon worried himself so that he fell sick on account of Thamar his sister; for she was a virgin; and it was impossible in the eyes of Amnon to do her the least [harm].

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 Yonadab, the son of Shim'ah, David's brother; and Yonadab was a very sensible 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, Why art thou so wasted, O prince, morning after morning? Wilt thou not tell me? Then said Amnon to him, Thamar the sister of Abshalom my brother do I love.

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.’”

And Yonadab said to him, Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick; and when thy father cometh to see thee, thou must say unto him, Let, I pray thee, Thamar my sister come, and give me some food, and prepare the refreshment before my eyes, in order that I may see it, and eat it out of 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 lay down, and feigned himself sick; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray thee, Thamar my sister come, and mix up before my eyes a couple of cakes, that I may enjoy them out of 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 did David send home to Thamar, saying, Do go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and prepare for him the refreshment.

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 Thamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, and he was lying down; and she took the dough and kneaded, and mixed it up before his eyes, and baked the cakes;

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 pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat; and Amnon said, Cause every man to go out from me; and they went out, every man, from him.

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.

And Amnon said to Thamar, Bring the refreshment into the chamber, that I may enjoy it out of thy hand. So Thamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them unto Amnon her brother into the chamber.

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 had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come, lie with me, 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!

But she said to him, No, my brother, do not violate me; for such a deed ought not to be done in Israel; do not this scandalous act!

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.”

And I, whither should I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wouldst be like one of the worthless in Israel; but now, O speak, I pray thee, unto the king, for he will not withhold me from thee.

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

Nevertheless, he would not hearken unto her voice; but he overpowered her, and violated her, and lay 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 did Amnon hate her with a very great hatred; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her; and Amnon said unto her, Arise, 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 unto him, [Do] not add this yet greater wrong than the other which thou hast done with me, to send me [now] away! But he would not listen 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.”

And he called his young man, his servant, and said, Do send this woman away from me, into the street, and lock the door behind 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.

And she had on a garment of divers colors; for thus were usually appareled the king's daughters when virgins, in robes; and his servant brought her out into the street, and locked the door behind 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 Thamar put ashes on her head, and the garment of divers colors which was on her she rent: and she placed her hand on her head, and went away and cried as she went along.

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.

Then said to her Abshalom her brother, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now, my sister, keep silence, he is thy brother, take this thing not to thy heart. So Thamar remained, and was secluded in the house of Abshalom her brother.

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

And when king David heard all these things, it displeased him greatly.

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.

And Abshalom spoke not with Amnon either bad or good; for Abshalom hated Amnon, because he had violated Thamar his sister.

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.

And it came to pass after two full years, that Abshalom had sheep-shearers at Ba'al-chazor, which is near Ephraim; and Abshalom invited all the king's sons.

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 Abshalom came to the king, and said, Behold, now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.

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 Abshalom, No, my son, do not let us all go now, that we may not be a burden upon thee. And he urged him much, but he would not go, and he blessed him.

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?”

And Abshalom said, If not, let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?

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

But Abshalom urged him greatly, and he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the 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 Abshalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye, I pray you, when Annon's heart is merry with wine, and I say unto you, Smite Amnon: then kill him, fear not; behold, it is I who command it you; be firm and show yourselves men of valor.

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.

And the servants of Abshalom did unto Amnon as Abshalom had commanded. Then arose all the king's sons, and they rode off, every man on his mule, and fled.

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.”

And it happened, while they were on the way, that the report came to David, saying, Abshalom hath smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

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 arose the king and rent his garments, and laid himself on the earth: and all his servants were standing by with their garments rent.

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.

But Yonadab the son of Shim'ah, David's brother, commenced and said, Let not my Lord suppose that they have slain all the young men, the king's sons; since Amnon alone is dead; for by the command of Abshalom was this ordained from the day that he violated Thamar his sister.

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.”

And now let not my Lord the king take the thing to his heart, thinking, that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon alone 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.

And Abshalom flew away. And the young man that was watching lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, many people were coming by the way behind him, by the side of the mount.

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 Yonadab said to the king, The king's sons are come: according to the word of thy servant, so hath it come to pass.

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 it happened, as he had just finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and they lifted up their voice and wept; and also the king and all his servants wept very much.

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.

But Abshalom had fled; and he went to Talmai, the son of 'Ammihud, the king of Geshur: and [David] mourned for his son all the time.

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

So did Abshalom fly, and go to Geshur, and he remained there three years.

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

And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth unto Abshalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, that he was dead.
