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.
After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; 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.
Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and 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 subtle 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.”
He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love 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.’”
Jonadab said to him, “Lay down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat 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 lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat 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 home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food 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 lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, 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.
She took the pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out 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.
Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
11 Lè li te mennen kote li pou manje, Amnon te kenbe li e te di li: “Vin kouche avè m, sè mwen.”
When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to 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!
She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don’t you do this folly!
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.”
As for me, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold 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.
However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced 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 Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to 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.
She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!” 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.”
Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door 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.
She had a garment of various colours on her, for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then his servant brought her out and bolted 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.
Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
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.
Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 Alò, lè David te tande tout koze sila yo, li te vin byen fache.
But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
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.
Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
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.
After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom 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.”
Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your 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.
The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but 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?”
Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him, “Why should he 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 pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
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.”
Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
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.
The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up 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.”
While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain 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 the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
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.
Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Don’t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
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.”
Now therefore don’t let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think 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 fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
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.”
Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
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.
As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept 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.
But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38 Konsa, Absalom te sove ale nan Gueschur e te rete la, pandan twazan.
So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 Wa David te byen vle ale kote Absalom, paske li te pran rekonfò konsènan Amnon, akoz li te mouri.
King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
