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.
It came about after this that Amnon son of David was very attracted to his beautiful half-sister Tamar, who was a full sister of Absalom, another of David's sons.
2 Ary Amnona nalahelo ka matiny ihany noho Tamara anabaviny; fa virijina izy, ka sarotra tamin’ i Amnona ny haka azy.
Amnon was so frustrated that he became sick because of his sister Tamar. She was a virgin, and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her.
3 Fa Amnona nanan-tsakaiza, Jonadaba no anarany, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida; ary Jonadaba dia olona fetsy loatra.
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd 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.
Jonadab said to Amnon, “Why, son of the king, are you depressed every morning? Will you not tell me?” So Amnon answered him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.”
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.
Then Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, ask him, 'Would you please send my sister Tamar to give me something to eat and cook it before me, so that I may see it and eat it from 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 pretended to be sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please send my sister Tamar to make some food for my sickness in front of me so that I may eat from 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 word to Tamar at his palace, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon's house and prepare food for him.”
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.
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house where he was lying down. She took dough and kneaded it and formed bread in his sight, and then she baked it.
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.
She took the pan and gave the bread to him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said to the others present, “Send everyone out, away from me.” So everyone went out from him.
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.
So Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room that I may eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the bread that she had made, and brought it into the room of Amnon her brother.
11 Ary nony nentiny tao aminy hohaniny izany; dia nihazona an’ i Tamara izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Avia handry amiko, ranabaviko.
When she had brought the food to him, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, sleep 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, “No, my brother, do not force me, for nothing like this should be done in Israel. Do not do this appalling thing!
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.
How could I be rid of my shame? What about you? You would be like one of the fools in Israel! Now, please speak to the king, for he would not keep me from you.”
14 Nefa tsy nety nihaino ny feon-drazazavavy izy, fa natanjaka noho izy, dia nisavika azy ka nandry taminy.
However Amnon would not listen to her. Since he was stronger than Tamar, he seized her and he slept 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 Tamar with extreme hatred. He hated her even more than he had desired her. Amnon said to her, “Get up and go.”
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.
But she responded to him, “No! Because this great evil of making me leave is even worse than what you did to me!” But Amnon did not listen 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.
Instead, he called his personal servant and said, “Take this woman away from me, and bolt 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.
Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her. Tamar was wearing a very decorated robe because the king's daughters who were virgins dressed that way.
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.
Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her robe. She put her hands on her head and walked away, crying aloud as she went.
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.
Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep quiet, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained alone in her brother Absalom's house.
21 Fa nony ren’ i Davida mpanjaka izany zavatra rehetra izany, dia nirehitra ny fahatezerany.
But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
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.
Absalom said nothing to Amnon, for Absalom hated him for what he had done to her and how he had disgraced his sister Tamar.
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.
It came about after two full years that Absalom had sheep shearers working at Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons to visit there.
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.
Absalom went to the king and said, “Look now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please, may the king and his servants go with me, your 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.
The king answered Absalom, “No, my son, all of us should not go because we would be a burden to you.” Absalom begged the king, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.
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?
Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” So the king said to him, “Why should Amnon go with you?”
27 Fa nanery azy Absaloma, ka dia nalefany Amnona sy ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra handeha hiaraka aminy.
Absalom pressed David, and so he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
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.
Absalom commanded his servants saying, “Listen closely. When Amnon begins to be affected by the wine, and when I say to you, 'Attack Amnon,' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and brave.”
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.
So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as he had commanded them. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man mounted 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.
So it came about, while they were on the road, that the news came to David saying, “Absalom has killed 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 arose and tore his clothes, and lay on the floor; all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
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.
Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, “Let not my master believe that they have killed all the young men who are the king's sons, for Amnon only is dead. Absalom has planned this from the day that Amnon violated his sister Tamar.
33 Koa aoka ny mpanjaka tompoko tsy hieritreritra am-po fa maty avokoa ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra; fa Amnona ihany no maty.
So therefore let not my master the king take this report to heart, so as to believe that all the king's sons are dead, 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.
Absalom fled away. A servant keeping watch raised his eyes and saw many people coming on the road on the hillside west of him.
35 Ary hoy Jonadaba tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Indreo, avy ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka, dia araka ny nolazain’ ny mpanomponao tokoa.
Then Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the king's sons are coming. It is just as your servant said.”
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.
So it came about when he finished speaking, the king's sons arrived and raised their voices and wept. The king and all his servants also wept bitterly.
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 Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38 Ary Absaloma efa nandositra nankany Gesora ka nitoetra tany telo taona.
So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, where he was for three years.
39 Ary Davida mpanjaka naniry hivoaka hankany amin’ i Absaloma; fa nionona izy noho ny amin’ i Amnona, satria efa maty izy.
The mind of King David longed to go out to see Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon and his death.
