< II Samuela 13 >
1 A MAHOPE iho o ia mea, he kaikuwahine maikai ko Abesaloma ke keikikane a Davida, o Tamara kona inoa: aloha mai la o Amenona ke keikikane a Davida ia ia.
After some time, David’s son Amnon fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom.
2 Pela ka pono ole ana o Amenona, a mai iho la ia no kona kaikuwahine no Tamara; no ka mea, he puupaa ia: aole i hiki pono ia Amenona ke hana aku i kekahi mea ia ia.
Amnon was sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her.
3 He hoalauna ko Amenona, o Ionadaba kona inoa, ke keiki a Simea a ko Davida kaikuaana: a he kanaka maalea loa o Ionadaba.
Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man,
4 I aku la kela ia ia, O oe ke keiki a ke alii, heaha la kau mea e wiwi ai i kela la i keia la? Aole oe e hai mai ia'u, ea? I mai la o Amenona ia ia, Ua aloha au ia Tamara i ke kaikuwahine o kuu kaikaina o Abesaloma.
so he asked Amnon, “Why are you, the son of the king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 I aku la o Ionadaba ia ia, E moe iho oe ma kou wahi moe, a e hoomaimai iho oe: a hele mai kou makuakane e ike ia oe, e i aku oe ia ia, Ea, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele mai o Tamara kuu kaikuwahine e haawi mai ia i ai na'u, e hoomakaukau ia i ka ai imua o ko'u mau maka, i ike au, a ai iho hoi ma kona lima.
Jonadab told him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’”
6 Moe iho la o Amenona, a hoomaimai ia ia iho: a hele mai ke alii e ike ia ia, i aku la o Amenona i ke alii, E, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ae mai oe e hele mai o Tamara kuu kaikuwahine, a hana iho na'u i elua wahi popo palaoa imua o kuu mau maka, i ai iho au ma kona lima.
So Amnon lay down and feigned illness. When the king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.”
7 Alaila, hoouna aku la o Davida io Tamara la ma kona wahi, i aku la, E hele oe ano i ka hale o kou kaikunane o Amenona, a e hana oe i wahi ai nana.
Then David sent word to Tamar at the palace: “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare a meal for him.”
8 Hele aku la o Tamara i ka hale o kona kaikunane o Amenona, a e moe ana no ia. Lawe ae la kela i ka palaoa, kawili ae la, a hana iho la i na popo imua o kona maka, a pulehu iho la i ua mau popo la.
So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked them.
9 Lawe ae la ia i ke pa, a ninini aku la ia mau mea imua ona, aole nae ia i ai. I aku la o Amenona, E hele iwaho na kanaka a pau mai o'u aku nei; I hele aku la na kanaka a pau iwaho mai ona aku la.
Then she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. “Send everyone away!” said Amnon. And everyone went out.
10 I aku la o Amenona ia Tamara, E lawe mai oe i ka ai maloko o ke keena nei i ai iho au ma kou lima, Lawe ae la o Tamara i na popo palaoa ana i hana'i, a halihali mai la iloko o ke keena io Amenona la i kona kaikunane.
Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat it from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes she had made and went to her brother Amnon’s bedroom.
11 Aia lawe mai la ia io na la e ai ai, lalau aku la kela ia ia, i aku la ia ia, E, e moe kaua, e kuu kaikuwahine.
And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said, “Come lie with me, my sister!”
12 I mai la kela ia ia, Aole, e kuu kaikunane, mai pue wale mai oe ia'u; no ka mea, aole e pono ke hana pela iwaena o ka Iseraela: mai hana oe i keia mea ino.
“No, my brother!” she cried. “Do not humiliate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
13 A owau la, mahea la uanei au e huna ai i kuu hilahila? A o oe hoi, e like auanei oe me kekahi o ka poe haukae iloko o ka Iseraela. No ia mea ea, e olelo aku oe i ke alii; aole ia e paa ia'u mai ou aku la.
Where could I ever take my shame? And you would be like one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
14 Aole nae ia i hoolohe mai i kona leo; aka, no ka oi o kona ikaika i ko ia la, pue wale aku la kela ia ia, a moe iho la me ia.
But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her.
15 Alaila, mains aku la o Amenona ia ia me ka inaina nui loa: a ua oi aku ka inaina ana i inaina aku ai ia ia, i ke aloha ana i aloha mua aku ai ia ia. I aku la o Amenona ia ia, E ala'e, e hoi.
Then Amnon hated Tamar with such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. “Get up!” he said to her. “Be gone!”
16 I mai la kela ia ia, Aohe pono; o keia hala o kou kipaku ana ia'u ua oi aku ia i kela mea au i hana iho nei ia'u: aole nae ia i hoolohe aku ia ia.
“No,” she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!” But he refused to listen to her.
17 Kahea aku la ia i kana kauwa, i ka mea i lawelawe nana, i aku la, E kipaku aku oe ia ia nei iwaho mai o'u aku nei, a e hoopaa i ka puka mahope ona.
Instead, he called to his attendant and said, “Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her!”
18 He kapa onionio maluna ona: pela no i kahikoia'i na kaikamahine puupaa a ke alii. Alaila lawe ae la kana kauwa ia ia iwaho, a hoopaa iho la i ka puka mahope ona.
So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore.
19 Lu iho la o Tamara i ka lehuahi maluna o kona poo, haehae ae la i kona kapa onionio maluna ona, kau ae la hoi ia i kona lima maluna o kona poo, a hele aku la e uwe ana.
And Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her robe. And putting her hand on her head, she went away crying bitterly.
20 I aku la o Abesaloma o kona kaikunane ia ia, Ua moe no anei o Amenona kou kaikunane me oe? E noho malie hoi oe, e kuu kaikuwahine, o kou kaikunane kela, mai manao nui oe ma ia mea. A noho mehameha iho la o Tamara ma ka hale o Abesaloma kona kaikunane.
Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.
21 A i ka lohe ana o Davida ke alii ia mau mea a pau, huhu loa iho la ia.
When King David heard all this, he was furious.
22 Aole i olelo aku o Abesaloma ia Amenona kona kaikuaana i ka pono, aole hoi i ka hewa: no ka mea, ua inaina aku o Abesaloma ia Amenona, i kona pue wale ana ia Tamara i kona kaikuwahine.
And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon for disgracing his sister Tamar.
23 A hala ae la na makahiki okoa elua, he aha ako hipa ko Abesaloma ma Baalahazora e kokoke ana me ko Eperaima: a kono aku la o Abesaloma i na keikikane a pau a ke alii e hele ilaila.
Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king.
24 Hele mai la o Abesaloma i ke alii, i mai la, Aia he aha ako hipa o kau kauwa; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hele pu ke alii a me kana poe kauwa me kau kauwa.
And he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?”
25 I aku la ke alii ia Abesaloma, Aole makou a pau e hele, e kuu keiki, o hookaumaha makou ia oe. Koi mai la kela ia ia; aole nae ia I manao e hele, aka, hoomaikai aku la oia ia ia.
“No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.
26 I mai la o Abesaloma, A i ole, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, o ae mai i kuu kaikuaana ia Amenona e hele pu me makou. I aku la ke alii ia ia, Heaha la kana e hele pu aku ai me oe?
“If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king asked.
27 Koi aku la o Abesaloma ia ia, a ae mai la ia e hele pu o Amenona, a o na keikikane a pau a ke alii me ia.
But Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.
28 Kauoha aku la o Abesaloma i kana poe kauwa, i aku la, E nana oukou, a olioli ka naau o Amenona i ka waina; a olelo aku hoi au ia oukou, E pepehi ia Amenona, alaila e pepehi ia ia, mai makau; aole anei au i kauoha aku? I nui ke aho, a e koa hoi.
Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!”
29 A hana aku la na kauwa a Abesaloma ia Amenona, e like me ka Abesaloma i kauoha ai: alaila ku ae la na keikikane a pau a ke alii, ae aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna o kona hoki, a holo aku la.
So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.
30 Aia ma ke alanui lakou, haiia mai ia Davida, i ka i ana, Ua pepehi iho la o Abesaloma i na keikikane a pau a ke alii, aole koe kekahi o lakou.
While they were on the way, a report reached David: “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king; not one of them is left!”
31 Alaila, ku ae la ke alii, haehae ae la i na kapa ona, a moe iho la ma ka honua, a ku mai la na kauwa ana a pau me ka haehaeia o ko lakou kapa.
Then the king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 Olelo mai la o Ionadaba ko keiki a Simea a ko Davida kaikuaana, i mai la, Mai manao oe, e kuu haku, ua pepehi lakou i ka poe kanaka opiopio a pau, i na keikikane a ke alii: o Amenona wale no ka i make, no ka mea, ua ohumuia keia mea ma ka waha o Abesaloma, mai ka la mai i pue wale aku ai kela i kona kaikuwahine ia Tamara.
But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed all the sons of the king, for only Amnon is dead. In fact, Absalom has planned this since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar.
33 Nolaila hoi, mai hookaumaha kuu haku ke alii i kona naau ia mea, me ka manao ua make na keiki a pau a ko alii: o Amenona wale no ka i make.
So now, my lord the king, do not take to heart the report that all the sons of the king are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
34 Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma. A o ke kanaka opiopio e kiai ana, alawa ae la na maka ona iluna, ike aku la, aia la, he nui na kanaka e hele mai ana ma ke ala ma ka aoao o ka puu mahope ona.
Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. When the young man standing watch looked up, he saw many people coming down the road west of him, along the side of the hill. And the watchman went and reported to the king, “I see men coming from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill.”
35 I aku la o Ionadaba i ke alii, Aia la, ke hele mai nei na keikikane a ke alii, e like me ka olelo ana a kau kauwa.
So Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the sons of the king have arrived! It is just as your servant said.”
36 A pau ae la ka olelo ana, hiki mai la na keikikane a ke alii, hookiekie ae la lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe aku la: uwe nui loa iho la ke alii a me kana poe kauwa a pau.
And as he finished speaking, the sons of the king came in, wailing loudly. Then the king and all his servants also wept very bitterly.
37 Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma, a hele aku la io Talemai la i ke keiki a Amihuda ke alii no Gesura. Kanikau iho la o [Davida] i kana keiki i kela la i keia la.
Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But David mourned for his son every day.
38 Mahuka aku la o Abesaloma, a hele aku la i Gesura, noho iho la ilaila ekolu makahiki.
After Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, he stayed there three years.
39 Iini loa iho la o Davida ke alii e hele aku io Abesaloma la; no ka mea, ua hooluoluia oia no Amenona, i kona make ana.
And King David longed to go to Absalom, for he had been consoled over Amnon’s death.
