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 these things, it happened that Amnon, the son of David, was in love with the very beautiful sister of Absalom, the son of David, and she was called Tamar.
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 pined for her exceedingly, so much so that, out of love for her, he became ill. For, since she was a virgin, it seemed a difficulty to him that he would do anything dishonest with 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.
Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent 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: “Why are you becoming so thin from day to day, O son of the king? Why won’t you tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
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. › »
And Jonadab said to him: “Lie down upon your bed, and feign sickness. And when your father will come to visit you, say to him: ‘I ask you to let my sister Tamar come to me, so that she may give me food, and may make a small meal, so that I may eat 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. »
And so, Amnon lay down, and he began to act as if he were ill. And when the king had come to visit him, Amnon said to the king, “I beg you to let my sister Tamar come to me, and make in my sight two little portions of food, so that I take it 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. »
Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small 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.
And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.
9 Alongolaki yango na kikalungu mpe apesaki yango na Aminoni, kasi Aminoni aboyaki kolia. Aminoni alobaki: — Bimisa bato nyonso libanda. Bato nyonso babimaki.
And taking what she had cooked, she poured it out, and she set it before him. But he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Send everyone away from me.” And when they had sent everyone away,
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.
Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat from your hand.” Therefore, Tamar took the little portions of food that she had made, and she brought them to her brother Amnon in the 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 had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “Come lie with me, 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.
She answered him: “Do not do so, my brother! Do not force me. For no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not choose to do this senseless act.
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.
For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to you.”
14 Kasi Aminoni aboyaki koyoka ye; mpe lokola alekaki Tamari na makasi, azwaki ye na makasi mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto.
But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay 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!
And Amnon held hatred for her with an exceedingly great hatred, so much so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Amnon said to her, “Rise up, and go away.”
16 Tamari azongiselaki ye: — Te, kobengana ngai ezali mabe makasi koleka ata makambo oyo owuti kosala ngai! Kasi Aminoni aboyaki koyoka ye.
And she answered him, “This evil is greater, which you are now doing against me in driving me away, than what you did before.” But he was not willing to listen to her.
17 Abengaki mosali na ye mpe alobaki: « Bimisa elenge mwasi oyo na libanda mpe kanga ekuke na bibende sima na ye. »
Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind 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 was clothed with an ankle-length robe. For the virgin daughters of the king made use of this kind of garment. And so, his servant cast her out, and he closed the door behind 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 she sprinkled ashes upon her head, and she tore her ankle-length robe. And placing her hands upon her head, she went forth, walking and crying out.
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.
Then her brother Absalom said to her: “Has your brother Amnon lain with you? But now, sister, be quiet. For he is your brother. And you should not afflict your heart because of this matter.” And so, Tamar remained, wasting away in the house of her brother Absalom.
21 Tango mokonzi Davidi ayokaki makambo oyo nyonso, asilikaki makasi.
And when king David had heard about these things, he was deeply grieved. But he was not willing to afflict the spirit of his son Amnon. For he loved him, since he was his firstborn.
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.
Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.
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.
Then, after the time of two years, it happened that the sheep of Absalom were being shorn in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.
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 he went to the king, and he said to him: “Behold, the sheep of your servant are being shorn. I ask that the king, with his servants, may come to his servant.”
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: “Do not, my son, do not choose to ask that we may all come and be a burden to you.” Then, after he urged him, and he had refused to go, he blessed him.
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?
And Absalom said, “If you are not willing to come, I beg you, at least let my brother Amnon come with us.” And the king said to him, “It is not necessary that he 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 pressed him, and so he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king. And Absalom made a feast, like the feast of 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.
Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying: “Observe when Amnon will have become drunk with wine. And when I say to you, ‘Strike and kill him!’ do not be afraid. For it is I who commands you. Be strong and valiant men.”
29 Basali ya Abisalomi basalaki Aminoni ndenge kaka Abisalomi atindaki bango. Bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi batelemaki, bamataki na bamile na bango mpe bakimaki.
Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon his mule and fled.
30 Wana bazalaki nanu na nzela, sango ekomaki epai ya Davidi: « Abisalomi abomi bana mibali nyonso ya mokonzi, moko te kati na bango atikali. »
And while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”
31 Mokonzi atelemaki, apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe amitandaki na mabele. Bakalaka na ye nyonso batelemaki wana na bilamba epasuka.
And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near him, tore their garments.
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.
But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
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. »
Now therefore, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ 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. »
Now Absalom fled. And the young man keeping watch, lifted up his eyes and gazed out. And behold, many people were arriving along a remote road at the side of the mountain.
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: “Behold, the sons of the king are here. In accord with the word of your servant, so it has happened.”
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 when he had ceased speaking, the sons of the king also appeared. And entering, they lifted up their voice, and they wept. And the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceedingly great weeping.
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.
But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.
38 Abisalomi akimaki mpe akendeki na mboka Geshuri, avandaki kuna mibu misato.
Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for three years.
39 Mokonzi Davidi atikaki kolanda Abisalomi, pamba te amibondisaki na tina na kufa ya Aminoni.
And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.
