2 Samuele 13

1 Abisalomi, mwana mobali ya Davidi, azalaki na ndeko moko ya mwasi ya kitoko makasi; kombo na ye ezalaki « Tamari. » Aminoni, mwana mobali mosusu ya Davidi, akomaki kolinga ye ndenge mwasi mpe mobali balinganaka.

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 Aminoni atungisamaki makasi na motema kino abelaki maladi ya bolingo likolo ya Tamari, ndeko na ye ya mwasi; pamba te ayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te mpe ekokaki kosalema te ete Aminoni abenga ye mpo na kosolola.

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 Nzokande Aminoni azalaki na moninga na ye moko ya mobali; kombo na ye ezalaki « Yonadabi, » mwana mobali ya Shimea, ndeko mobali ya Davidi. Yonadabi azalaki na mayele mabe mingi.

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

4 Atunaki Aminoni: — Mpo na nini yo mwana mobali ya mokonzi ozalaka tango nyonso mawa-mawa boye? Okoki koyebisa ngai te mpo na nini ozalaka bongo? Aminoni alobaki na ye: — Nalingaka Tamari, ndeko mwasi ya Abisalomi, ndeko na ngai ya mobali.

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 Yonadabi alobaki na ye: — Oh, sala boye: « Kende na mbeto mpe kosana kobela. Tango tata na yo akoya kotala yo, okoloba na ye: ‹ Nalingi ete Tamari, ndeko na ngai ya mwasi, aya kopesa ngai eloko ya kolia. Tika ete alamba biloko na miso na ngai mpo ete namona ye mpe nakoka kolia na loboko na ye. › »

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 Aminoni amitandaki na mbeto mpe akosanaki kobela. Tango mokonzi ayaki mpo na kotala ye, Aminoni alobaki na ye: « Nalingi ete Tamari, ndeko na ngai ya mwasi, aya kolambela ngai na miso na ngai bagalete mibale ya kitoko mpo ete nakoka kolia yango na loboko na ye. »

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 Davidi atindaki maloba epai ya Tamari oyo azalaki kati na shambre na ye: « Kende na ndako ya Aminoni, ndeko na yo ya mobali, mpe lambela ye biloko. »

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 Boye Tamari akendeki na ndako ya Aminoni, ndeko na ye ya mobali, oyo azalaki ya kolala. Akamataki farine, asangisaki yango, asalaki bagalete na miso na ye mpe atumbaki yango.

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 Alongolaki yango na kikalungu mpe apesaki yango na Aminoni, kasi Aminoni aboyaki kolia. Aminoni alobaki: — Bimisa bato nyonso libanda. Bato nyonso babimaki.

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 Aminoni alobaki na Tamari: — Memela ngai biloko ya kolia awa kati na shambre na ngai ya kolala mpo ete nalia yango wuta na loboko na yo. Tamari azwaki bagalete oyo asalaki mpe amemaki yango epai ya Aminoni, ndeko na ye ya mobali, kati na shambre na ye ya kolala.

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 Tango kaka Tamari asembolaki loboko epai ya Aminoni mpo na koleisa ye galeti, Aminoni akangaki ye na nzoto mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka kolala elongo na ngai, ndeko na ngai ya mwasi.

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

12 Tamari alobaki na ye: — Te, ndeko na ngai ya mobali! Kosangisa na ngai nzoto na makasi te. Likambo ya boye ekoki kosalema te kati na Isalaele! Kosala bozoba ya boye te.

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 Ekosukela ngai ndenge nini? Nakokende wapi na soni na ngai? Mpe yo okozala ndenge nini? Okokoma lokola moto ya liboma kati na Isalaele! Nabondeli yo, loba na mokonzi, pamba te akoboya te ete obala ngai.

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 Kasi Aminoni aboyaki koyoka ye; mpe lokola alekaki Tamari na makasi, azwaki ye na makasi mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.

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 Sima na yango, Aminoni ayinaki Tamari makasi, ayinaki ye penza makasi koleka ndenge azalaki kolinga ye. Aminoni alobaki na Tamari: — Telema mpe bima!

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 Tamari azongiselaki ye: — Te, kobengana ngai ezali mabe makasi koleka ata makambo oyo owuti kosala ngai! Kasi Aminoni aboyaki koyoka ye.

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 Abengaki mosali na ye mpe alobaki: « Bimisa elenge mwasi oyo na libanda mpe kanga ekuke na bibende sima na ye. »

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 Mosali abimisaki Tamari na libanda mpe akangaki ekuke na bibende sima na ye. Tamari alataki nzambala moko ya kitoko, pamba te ezalaki lolenge ya bilamba oyo bana basi ya mokonzi oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te bazalaki kolata.

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 Tamari atiaki putulu na moto na ye mpe apasolaki nzambala na ye ya kitoko oyo alataki. Atiaki maboko na ye na moto mpe, wana azalaki kokende, azalaki kolela na mongongo makasi.

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

20 Abisalomi, ndeko na ye ya mobali, atunaki ye: « Boni, Aminoni, ndeko na yo ya mobali, azalaki elongo na yo? Sik’oyo, ndeko na ngai ya mwasi, kolobela yango te; azali ndeko na yo ya mobali. Kotia likambo oyo na motema te! » Tamari avandaki kati na ndako ya Abisalomi, ndeko na ye ya mobali, lokola mwasi basundola.

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 Tango mokonzi Davidi ayokaki makambo oyo nyonso, asilikaki makasi.

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 Abisalomi alobaki ata liloba moko te epai ya Aminoni, ndeko na ye ya mobali, ezala ya malamu to ya mabe, pamba te ayinaki Aminoni mpo ete asambwisaki Tamari, ndeko na ye ya mwasi.

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 Sima na mibu mibale, lokola Abisalomi azalaki na basali oyo bakataka bapwale ya bameme, na Bala-Atsori, pene ya mondelo ya Efrayimi, abengisaki bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi.

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 Abisalomi akendeki epai ya mokonzi mpe alobaki na ye: — Mosali na yo abengisi basali oyo bakataka bapwale ya bameme. Tika ete mokonzi mpe bakalaka na ye basepela koya kosangana na ngai, mosali na yo.

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 Mokonzi azongisaki: — Te, mwana na ngai, tokoki te kokende biso nyonso, noki te tokozala mokumba mpo na yo. Atako Abisalomi atungisaki ye, kasi mokonzi aboyaki kaka kokende, kasi apambolaki ye.

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 Abisalomi alobaki lisusu: — Nabondeli yo, pesa kaka nzela ete ata Aminoni, ndeko na ngai ya mobali, akende elongo na biso. Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Mpo na nini akende elongo na yo?

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 Kasi Abisalomi akobaki kaka kotungisa ye, mpe mokonzi atindaki bana mibali mosusu ya mokonzi ete bakende elongo na Aminoni.

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 Abisalomi apesaki mitindo epai ya basali na ye: — Boyoka! Tango Aminoni akolangwa masanga ya vino, soki nalobi na bino: « Bobeta Aminoni; » wana boboma ye. Bobanga te, pamba te ezali ngai moko nde nakopesa mitindo oyo. Bozala makasi mpe boyika mpiko.

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 Basali ya Abisalomi basalaki Aminoni ndenge kaka Abisalomi atindaki bango. Bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi batelemaki, bamataki na bamile na bango mpe bakimaki.

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 Wana bazalaki nanu na nzela, sango ekomaki epai ya Davidi: « Abisalomi abomi bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi, moko te kati na bango atikali. »

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 Mokonzi atelemaki, apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe amitandaki na mabele. Bakalaka na ye nyonso batelemaki wana na bilamba epasuka.

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 Kasi Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Shimea, ndeko mobali ya Davidi, alobaki: « Tika ete nkolo na ngai akanisa te ete babomi bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi! Ezali Aminoni kaka moto akufi, pamba te, wuta mokolo oyo Aminoni asangisaki na makasi nzoto na Tamari, ndeko na ye ya mwasi, Abisalomi azwaki mokano ya koboma ye.

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 Tika ete mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, amitungisa na ye te mpo na sango oyo asili koyoka, sango oyo ezali koloba ete bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi bakufi! Ezali Aminoni kaka moto akufi. »

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 Na tango yango, Abisalomi akimaki. Nzokande tango mokengeli atalaki na mosika, amonaki bato ebele kokita na mopanzi ya ngomba, na nzela ya weste. Mokengeli akendeki koyebisa mokonzi: « Namoni bato na nzela ya Oronayimi, na mopanzi ya ngomba. »

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 Yonadabi alobaki na mokonzi: — Tala! Bana mibali ya mokonzi bazali koya! Esalemi ndenge kaka mosali na yo alobaki.

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

36 Tango kaka asilisaki koloba, bana mibali ya mokonzi bakotaki na kolela na mongongo makasi. Mokonzi mpe alelaki makasi elongo na basali na ye.

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 Abisalomi akimaki mpe akendeki epai ya Talimayi, mwana mobali ya Amiwudi, mokonzi ya Geshuri. Kasi mokonzi Davidi asalaki mikolo nyonso matanga mpo na mwana na ye ya mobali.

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

38 Abisalomi akimaki mpe akendeki na mboka Geshuri, avandaki kuna mibu misato.

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

39 Mokonzi Davidi atikaki kolanda Abisalomi, pamba te amibondisaki na tina na kufa ya Aminoni.

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