2 Samoela 13

1 Ary nony afaka izany, dia nisy toy izao: Absaloma, zanak’ i Davida, nanana anabavy tsara tarehy, Tamara no anarany; ary tia azy Amnona, zanak’ i Davida.

And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.

2 Ary Amnona nalahelo ka matiny ihany noho Tamara anabaviny; fa virijina izy, ka sarotra tamin’ i Amnona ny haka azy.

And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.

3 Fa Amnona nanan-tsakaiza, Jonadaba no anarany, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida; ary Jonadaba dia olona fetsy loatra.

Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:

4 Ka hoy izy taminy: Nahoana ianao, ry zanaky ny mpanjaka, no mihamahia isan’ andro isan’ andro? Tsy tianao hambara amiko va izany? Dia hoy Amnona taminy: Tia an’ i Tamara, anabavin’ i Absaloma rahalahiko, aho.

And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.

5 Ary hoy Jonadaba taminy: Mandria eo amin’ ny fandrianao ianao, ka modia marary; ary raha avy mamangy anao rainao, dia ataovy aminy hoe: Trarantitra ianao, aoka Tamara anabaviko mba ho avy hampihinan-kanina ahy ary hanao ny nahandro eto imasoko mba ho hitako ka hihinanako ny avy eny an-tànany.

And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.

6 Dia nandry Amnona ka nody marary; ary nony avy mamangy azy ny mpanjaka, dia hoy izy taminy: Trarantitra ianao, aoka Tamara anabaviko hankatỳ hanao mofo roa ho ahy eto imasoko hihinanako ny avy eny an-tànany.

So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.

7 Ary Davida naniraka nankany amin’ i Tamara any an-tranony nanao hoe: Mankanesa kely any an-tranon’ i Amnona anadahinao, ka manaova nahandro ho azy.

Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.

8 Dia nandeha Tamara nankany an-tranon’ i Amnona anadahiny; ary nandry ny anadahiny. Dia naka koba razazavavy, ka nofetafetainy ary nataony mofo teo imasony, ary nendasiny ny mofo.

And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.

9 Dia noraisiny ny fanendasana, ka narosony teo anoloany; fa tsy nety nihinana izy. Ary hoy Amnona: Avoahy ny olona rehetra. Dia nivoaka ny olona rehetra.

And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,

10 Ary hoy Amnona tamin’ i Tamara: Ento atỳ amin’ ny efi-trano ny nahandro hihinanako ny avy eny an-tananao. Dia nalain’ i Tamara ny mofo nataony ka nentiny tao amin’ ny efi-trano tao amin’ i Amnona anadahiny.

Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.

11 Ary nony nentiny tao aminy hohaniny izany; dia nihazona an’ i Tamara izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Avia handry amiko, ranabaviko.

And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.

12 Ary hoy ny anabaviny: Sanatria, ranadahy! Aza misavika ahy; fa tsy fanao eto amin’ ny Isiraely izany; aza manao izany zavatra fady indrindra izany ianao.

She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.

13 Ary ny amiko, ho entiko aiza moa ny henatro? Ary ianao koa ho toy ny anankiray amin’ ny adala eto amin’ ny Isiraely. Koa trarantitra ianao, lazao amin’ ny mpanjaka; fa tsy hisakana ahy tsy ho anao izy.

For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.

14 Nefa tsy nety nihaino ny feon-drazazavavy izy, fa natanjaka noho izy, dia nisavika azy ka nandry taminy.

But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.

15 Ary dia halan’ i Amnona indrindra izy, ka ny fankahalany azy dia be lavitra noho ny fitiavany azy taloha. Dia hoy Amnona taminy: Mitsangàna, mandehana.

Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.

16 Ary hoy izy taminy: Aza dia manao ratsy mandroaka ahy ianao, fa ratsy noho ny zavatra hafa nataonao izao. Nefa tsy nety nihaino azy izy.

She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:

17 Dia niantso ny zatovony izay nanompo azy izy ka nanao hoe: Esory hiala eto amiko ity vehivavy ity, ka hidio ny varavarana, rehefa tafavoaka izy.

But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.

18 Ary niakanjo akanjo lava razazavavy; fa izany no fanaon’ ny zanakavavin’ ny mpanjaka ho akanjo ambony, raha mbola virijina izy. Dia navoakan’ ilay ankizilahy izy, ka nohidiany ny varavarana, nony tafavoaka izy.

And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.

19 Ary nasian’ i Tamara lavenona ny lohany, sady notriariny ny akanjo lava izay niakanjoany, dia niloloha tanana izy, sady nitomany nidradradradra teny am-pandehanana.

And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.

20 Ary hoy Absaloma anadahiny taminy: Efa tany aminao va Amnona anadahinao? Mangìna ihany aloha, ranabavy, fa anadahinao izy; fa aza malahelo noho izany. Ka dia nitoetra tao an-tranon’ i Absaloma anadahiny Tamara sady ory.

And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.

21 Fa nony ren’ i Davida mpanjaka izany zavatra rehetra izany, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany.

And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.

22 Ary Absaloma tsy nifampiteny tamin’ i Amnona rahalahiny akory na soa na ratsy; fa halan’ i Absaloma izy noho ny nisavihany an’ i Tamara anabaviny.

But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.

23 Ary nony afaka roa taona ngarangidina, dia nampanety ondry teo Bala-hazora ao akaiky an’ i Efraima Absaloma, ka nanasa ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra izy.

And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:

24 Ary nankao amin’ ny mpanjaka Absaloma ka nanao hoe: Indro, mampanety ondry ny mpanomponao; koa trarantitra ianao, aoka ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanompony handeha hiaraka amiko mpanomponao.

And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.

25 Fa hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Absaloma: Tsia, anaka, aoka tsy handeha avokoa izahay rehetra, fandrao mahavaky tratra anao. Fa Absaloma nanery azy ihany; nefa tsy nety nandeha izy, fa nitso-drano azy ihany.

And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.

26 Dia hoy Absaloma: Raha tsy izany ary, trarantitra ianao, aoka Amnona rahalahiko no handeha hiaraka aminay. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ahoana no hiarahany aminao?

And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.

27 Fa nanery azy Absaloma, ka dia nalefany Amnona sy ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra handeha hiaraka aminy.

But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.

28 Ary Absaloma nanome teny ny zatovony hoe: Miomàna tsara, fa rehefa faly ny fon’ i Amnona azon’ ny divay, ka lazaiko aminareo hoe: Asio Amnona, dia ataovy maty izy, fa aza matahotra; tsy izaho va no nanome teny anareo? Matokia, aoka hiseho ho lehilahy mahery ianareo.

And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.

29 Ary ny zatovon’ i Absaloma nanao tamin’ i Amnona araka ny teny nomen’ i Absaloma azy. Dia nitsangana avokoa ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra, ary samy nitaingina ny ampondrany ka nandositra.

And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.

30 Ary raha mbola teny an-dalana izy ireo, dia tonga tao amin’ i Davida ny filazana hoe: novonoin’ i Absaloma avokoa ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka, ka tsy nasiany miangana na dia iray akory aza.

And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.

31 Dia nitsangana ny mpanjaka ka nandriatra ny fitafiany, dia nandry tamin’ ny tany; ary ny mpanompony rehetra nitsangana teo, samy voatriatra avokoa ny fitafiany.

Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.

32 Ary Jonadaba, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida, nanao hoe: Aoka ny tompoko tsy hanao hoe: Matiny avokoa ny zatovo rehetra, zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka; fa Amnona ihany no maty; fa Absaloma efa nifofo azy hatramin’ ny andro nisavihany an’ i Tamara anabaviny.

But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.

33 Koa aoka ny mpanjaka tompoko tsy hieritreritra am-po fa maty avokoa ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra; fa Amnona ihany no maty.

Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.

34 Fa Absaloma nandositra. Ary ny zatovo mpitily nanopy ny masony ka nahita fa, indreo nisy olona maro avy teo ivohony, teo anilan’ ny tendrombohitra.

But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.

35 Ary hoy Jonadaba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Indreo, avy ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka, dia araka ny nolazain’ ny mpanomponao tokoa.

And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.

36 Ary nony efa voalazany izany teny izany, dia indreo, tonga ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka, ary nanandratra ny feony izy ka nitomany; ary ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanompony dia mba nitomany mafy dia mafy koa.

And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.

37 Fa Absaloma nandositra nankany amin’ i Talmay, zanakalahin’ i Amihoda, mpanjakan’ i Gesora. Ary nisaona ny zanany mandrakariva Davida.

But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.

38 Ary Absaloma efa nandositra nankany Gesora ka nitoetra tany telo taona.

And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.

39 Ary Davida mpanjaka naniry hivoaka hankany amin’ i Absaloma; fa nionona izy noho ny amin’ i Amnona, satria efa maty izy.

And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
