2 Samue 13

1 Hagi ana knafina Deviti nemofo Apsalomuna nesaro Tamari'a hentofa mofa mani'ne. Hagi Deviti nemofo Amnoni'a ana mofakura tusiza huno kenunu hunte'ne.

David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.

2 Hianagi Tamari'a vene omase mofa mani'negeno, Amnoni'a ana mofate'ma erava'o huno mago'azama hunte kankura hakeno eri forera osu'ne. Ana higeno ana zamo'a kri ami'ne.

He wanted [to have sex with] [EUP] his half-sister very much, with the result that he made himself sick [thinking about her all the time]. But it was not possible for Amnon to get her, because she was a virgin, [so they kept men away from her].

3 Hagi magora Amnoni nefu'a mani'neana agi'a Jonadabukino, agra knare antahi'zane ne' mani'ne. Hagi ana nera Deviti nefu Simea nemofo'e.

But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.

4 Hagi mago zupa Jonadabu'a Amnonina asamino, Kagra kini ne'mofo nemofoga maka nanterana kri kavukava nehanana, na'a hu'nefi nasamio? Higeno Amnoni'a asamino, Nagri nenafu Apsalomu nesaro Tamarinku nave'nesige'na anara nehue.

[One day] Jonadab said to Amnon, “You are the king’s son, but every day I see that [RHQ] you seem very depressed/sad. What is your problem?” Amnon replied, “I (am in love/want to sleep) [EUP] with Tamar, my half-brother Absalom’s sister.”

5 Hagi Jonadabu'a Amnonina asamino, Kagra vunka tafete kri vahe kna hunka umase'negeno negafa'ma kageku'ma esigenka amanage hunka asamio, nagri nensaro Tamari asamigeno ne'zana erino eme namino. Hagi negenugeno emani'neno ne'zana retro hunaminke'na, azama'afintira naneno hunka hugahane.

Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend that you are sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Allow my half-sister Tamar to come and give me some food to eat. She can prepare the food while I am watching her. Then she can serve it to me herself.’”

6 Anage hutegeno Amnoni'a kri vahekna huno umase'negeno nefa Deviti'ma kenaku efregeno Amnoni'a asamino, Muse hugantoanki nensarona Tamarina asamigeno ne'zana negane'na eme krenke'na azama'afintira na'neno.

So Amnon lay down, and pretended that he was sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “[I am sick; ] please allow my half-sister Tamar to come and make a couple scones/dumplings for me while I am watching, and then she can serve them to me.”

7 Higeno Deviti'a Tamarina eme hunteno, Vunka negasaro Amnoni'a kri erino mase'neanki, ne'zana noma'afi ome kremio.

So David sent a message to Tamar in the palace, saying “Amnon [is sick and he wants you to] go to his house and prepare some food for him.”

8 Higeno Tamari'a nesaro nonte'ma vuno ome keana Amnoni'a tafe'are kri erino mase'ne. Hagi Tamari'a mago'a flaua erino heruno negregeno, Amnoni'a mase'nefintira ke'ne.

So Tamar went to Amnon’s house, where he was lying in bed. She took some dough and kneaded it, and formed it into some scones/dumplings while he was watching her. Then she baked them.

9 Hagi ana ne'zama kreno erino zuompafima eme nemiana navresrahie huno nehuno, miko vahera huzmanteno, Amafintira atreta viho. Huno hige'za miko vahe'mo'za atirami'za vu'naze.

She took them out of the pan and put them [on a plate] in front of him, but he refused to eat them. Then he said to everyone else in the room, “All the rest of you, leave me now!” So all the others left his [room].

10 Anante Amnoni'a Tamarina asamino, Ana ne'zana nemasofinka efrenka kazampinti eme namige'na na'neno, higeno Tamari'a anama retro hu'nea ne'zana erino nemasefinka vu'ne.

Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room and serve it to me.” So Tamar took into his room the scones/dumplings that she had made.

11 Hagi ana ne'zama erino eme nemigeno'a, Amnonia azeri anunekino, Nensaroga nagrane mase'nanegu nehue.

But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”

12 Hianagi Tamari'a huno, nensaroga nazeri havizana osuo. E'inahu zana Israeli vahe agu'afina osuo. Kagra haviza huno neginagi hu'nea avu'ava zana osuo.

She replied, “No, do not force me to do such a disgraceful thing! We never do things like that in Israel! That would be awful/terrible!

13 Hagi kagra e'ina hu'zama hanankeno'a nagaze hanige'na, vahe zamavufina vano osugahue. Hagi Israeli agu'afina kagra neginagi vahera zamagaterenka, kefo vahe manigahane. E'ina hu'negu muse hugantoanki kini ne' asamigeno, hugnarere hugante'na nagrira ara erigahane.

As for me, if I did that, I would not be able to [RHQ] endure being disgraced by having done that. And as for you, everyone in Israel would condemn you for having done such a disgraceful deed. So I plead with you, talk to the king. I am sure that he will allow me to marry you.”

14 Higeno Amnoni'a ana ke'a ontahi hanavetino Tamari'na, avazu huno havi avu'ava hunte'ne.

But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.

15 Anama hutegeno Amnonina ame huno Tamarima avesinte'nea zamo'a fanane higeno, Tamarina tusiza huno avesra hunenteno, otinka amafintira vuo, huno Tamarina hunte'ne.

Then Amnon hated her very much. He hated her much more than he had desired her. He said to her, “Get up and get out of here!”

16 Higeno Tamari'a kenona huno, Nagri'ma amafinti'ma vuoma hunkama humanantana zamo'a, ko'ma hu'nante'nana hazenke zana agaterenka tusi'a hazenke hugahane. Hianagi Amnoni'a ke'a ontahi'ne.

But she said to him, “No! It would be very wrong for you to send me away. It would be worse than what you just did to me!” But he would not listen to her.

17 Hagi avate eri'za vahe asamino, Ama ara amafintira avreta atineramita kafana erigiho.

He summoned his personal servant and said to him, “Take this woman outside, away from me, and lock the door [so that she cannot come in again]!”

18 Higeno ana eri'za vahe'amo'a fegu'a avre netreno, kahana erigi'ne. Hagi kini vahe'mofo mofa'nemo'zama za'za kukenama antani'nage'za vahe'mo'za nezmage'za venema omase mofa'ne hu'za nehaza za'za kukena Tamari'a antanineno, Amnoni nontega vu'neankino,

So the servant put her outside and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with long sleeves, which was the clothing that was usually worn by the unmarried daughters of the king at that time.

19 Tamari'a ana za'za kukena'a tagoto tagatu nehuno tanefa kateno nefreno, asenirera azana refiteno zavira neteno vu'ne.

But Tamar tore the long robe that she was wearing, and put ashes on her head [to show that she was very sad]. Then she put her hands on her head [to show that she was grieving], and she went away, crying.

20 Hagi Absalomu'a nesaro Tamarima negeno antahigeno, Negasaro Amnoni'a nankna huno amanahu havi avu'ava zana hugante. Hianagi agra negasaroki anazana mago vahera osaminka atrenka manio. Hagi Tamari'a Apsalomu nompi mani'neanagi, asunku zampi mani'ne.

Her brother Absalom [saw her and] said to her, “Has your half-brother Amnon [DOU] forced you to have sex with him [EUP]? Please, my sister, do not tell anyone, and do not become depressed/sad.” So Tamar went to live in Absalom’s house, and she was very sad and lonely.

21 Hagi ana mika zamofo nanekema kini ne' Deviti'ma nentahino'a, tusi'a arimpa ahe'ne.

When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.

22 Hagi Absalomu'a Amnonina magokea huomi'ne. Na'ankure nesarona azeri haviza hu'negu tusiza huno antahi haviza hunenteno anara hu'ne.

And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.

23 Hagi Tare kafu evutege'za Absalomu eri'za vahe'mo'za sipisipi azoka harenaku Balhasori kumara Efraemi kuma tava'onte me'nere vu'naze. Hagi Absalomu'a kini ne'mofo mofavre zaga kehige'za utru hu'naze.

Two years later, Absalom’s servants were shearing sheep at Baal-Hazor, which is near [a town named] Ephraim. [When they finished shearing the sheep, they celebrated], and Absalom invited all the king’s sons [to come and celebrate].

24 Hagi Absalomu'a kini ne' Devitinte vuno anage hu'ne, Sipisipi afu'mofo azokama hare eri'za vahe'nimo'za sipisipi azoka nehare'za menina ne'zana kre'za nene'za musenkase nehazanki, knare kini ne'moka eri'za vahekanena anante esanketa musenkasea hugahuno?

Absalom went to the king and said to him, “Sir, my servants have been shearing my sheep. Please come with your officials [to celebrate] with us!”

25 Hianagi kini nemo'a ke'nona huno, Mofavrenimoka tagra ovugahune. Na'ankure tagrama vanunkenka kagra ne'zama krerante zankura rankna erigahane. Hagi anagema higeno'a, Absalomu'a inene hu'neanagi, kini ne'mo'a maka'mota ovugahune nehuno, Absalomuna asomu ke hunte'ne.

But the king replied, “No, my son, it would not be good for all of us to go, because it would cause you to do a lot of work and spend a lot of money for food.” Absalom continued urging him, but the king would not go. Instead, he said that he hoped/desired that God would bless them [while they celebrated].

26 Anante Absalomu'a kini nera antahigeno, Muse hugantoanki kagrama ovanunka, nenfu Amnonina huntegeno nagrane vino? Higeno kini ne'mo kenona huno, Na'ante Amnonina huntanenkeno kagranena vugahie? huno hu'neanagi,

Then Absalom said, “If you will not go, please allow my half-brother Amnon to go with us.” But the king replied, “Why [do you want] him to go with you?”

27 Absalomu'ma inene huno kema hiazanku kini ne'mo'a huzmantege'za, Amnoni'ene mika kini ne'mofo mofavremo'za agrane vu'naze.

But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.

28 Hianagi Absalomu'a eri'za vahe'a zamasamino, Amnoni'ma waini tima neno neginagima hanigeta ahe friho. Hagi Amnonima ahe fri zankura korora osiho. Nagra ahe friho hu'na huramantoanki, ahe friho.

[So they all went. And at the celebration], Absalom commanded his servants, “Notice when Amnon has become a bit drunk from the wine. Then when I signal to you, kill him. Do not be afraid; you will be doing this [only] because I told you [RHQ] to do it. So be courageous and do it!”

29 Higeno Absalomu eri'za vahe'mo'za Absalomu'ma hu'nea kante ante'za, Amnonina ahe fri'naze. Hagi kini ne'mofona maka mofavre'amo'za anazama nege'za, miulie nehaza donkizami'a eri'za panani hu'za fre'naze.

So Absalom’s servants did what Absalom told them to do. [They killed Amnon]. All the rest of David’s sons [saw what happened and] fled, riding on their mules.

30 Hagi ana mofavre'mo'za zahufa kantega neage'za, mago'a vahe'mo'za kini nera eme asamiza, Absalomu'a kini ne'moka mofavre zaga maka zamahe vagare'ne.

While they were on their way home, someone [went quickly and] reported to David, “Absalom has killed all of your other sons; none of them is still alive!”

31 Hagi anankema nentahino'a, kini ne'mo'a otino kukena'a tagato tagatu nehuno mopafi maseno krafa hu'ne. Hagi mika eri'za vahe'mo'zanena kukenazamia tagato nehu'za krafa hu'naze.

The king stood up, tore his clothes [because he was extremely sad], and then he threw himself down on the ground. All the servants who were there also tore their clothes.

32 Hianagi Deviti nefu Simea nemofo Jonadabu'a Devitina eme asamino, ranimoka antahintahi hakarea osuo, ana miko mofavre zaga ozamahe'neanki Amnoninke ahe'ne. Hagi ama anazama fore hu'neana Amnonima nesaroma Tamarima havi avu'ava'ma hunte'nea zante Absalomu'a anara hu'ne.

But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “Your Majesty, [I am sure that] they have not killed all your sons. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead, because Absalom has determined to do this ever since the day that Amnon raped [EUP] his half-sister Tamar.

33 E'ina hu'negu kini ne' ranimoka, ana kegura antahintahi hakarea osuo. Amnoni agrake fri'ne.

So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”

34 Hagi anama nehuno'a Absalomu'a atreno fre'ne. Hagi avuma anteno kuma kegava nehia sondia vahe'mo'ma keana Horonaimia zage fre kaziga agonafinti rama'a vahe e'naze.

In the meantime, Absalom ran away. Just then, the soldier/sentry [who was standing on the city wall] saw a large crowd of people coming down the hill along the road from Horonaim. [He ran and told the king what he had seen].

35 Ana hazageno Jonadabu'a kini nera asamino, Ko nagrama huankante kini ne'moka mofavre zagamo'za neaze.

Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”

36 Hagi kema huvaganeregeno'a kini ne'mofo mofavre'zagamo'za anante ehanati'za tusi zavi atage'za, kini ne'ene mika eri'za vahe'mo'za zavi ate vagare'naze.

And as soon as he said that, David’s sons came in. They all started crying, and David and all his officials also cried very much.

37 Hagi Deviti'a nemofo Amnoninkura rama'a knafi zavira ate'ne. Hagi Absalomu'a freno negeho Talmaintega vu'ne. Hagi Talmaia Amihudi nemofokino Gesuri kumate kini ne' mani'ne.

But Absalom had fled. He went to stay with the king of [the] Geshur [region], who was Talmai the son of Ammihud. Absalom stayed there for three years. David mourned for his son Amnon for a long time,

38 Hagi Absalomu'a freno 3'a kafu Gesuri kumatera umani'ne.

39 Ana'ma higeno'a Deviti'a Amnoninku'ma asunku hu'nea zana atreno ete Absalomunku asunkura hu'ne.

but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
