2 Samoela 13
1 Ie añe, nanan-drahavave soa vintañe t’i Absalome ana’i Davide, Tamare ty añara’e; le nikokoa’ i Amnone ana’ i Davide.
After some time, David’s son Amnon fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom.
2 Akore ty fioremèña’ i Amnone kanao nisiloke ty amy Tamare rahavave’e; ie mbe tsy nahavany lahy; aa le hoe nisarotse amy Amnone ty hanao ndra inoñ’ inoñ’ama’e. Fe nanan-drañetse t’i Amnone, Ionadabe ty tahina’e, ana’ i Simeà, rahalahi’ i Davide; loho nahay fañahy t’Ionadabe.
Amnon was sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her.
Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man,
4 Le hoe re tama’e: Aa vaho akore te ihe anam-panjaka ro minìke avao handro am-pohatse? Tsy hatalili’o ahy hao? le hoe t’i Amnone ama’e: Kokoako t’i Tamare rahavave’ i Absalome.
so he asked Amnon, “Why are you, the son of the king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 Aa le hoe t’Ionadabe ama’e: Mandrea am-pandrea’o, le manoa sare siloke; aa ie mb’eo ty rae’o hisary azo, le ano ty hoe: Ehe, ampombao mb’etoa ty rahavaveko Tamare, hamahana’e mofo ahy, naho hañalankañe mahakama añatrefako atoy, hahatreavako aze naho hihinanako an-taña’e.
Jonadab told him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’”
6 Aa le nàndre eo t’i Amnone, mintse narare; le ie nitilik’ aze i mpanjakay, hoe t’i Amnone amy mpanjakay: Ehe, angao homb’ etoa ty rahavaveko Tamare hamboatse bokoboko mofo tsy ampeampe am-pahatreavako, hihinanako an-taña’e.
So Amnon lay down and feigned illness. When the king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.”
7 Aa le nampañitrik’ añ’ akiba’ i Tamare añe t’i Davide nanao ty hoe: Akia mb’ añ’ anjomban-drahalahi’o Amnone mb’eo, vaho añalankaño mahakama.
Then David sent word to Tamar at the palace: “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare a meal for him.”
8 Aa le nimb’ añ’anjomba’ i Amnone rahalahi’e mb’eo t’i Tamare; ie nandre ao. Nandrambe koba re le trinobotrobo’e naho nanao bokoboko-mofo am-pahaisaha’e vaho natoña’e i mofoy.
So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked them.
9 Rinambe’e amy zao ty finga le nazotso’e; f’ie tsy nimete nikama. Fa hoe t’i Amnone, Mienga ahy ze lahilahy. Le hene niakatse ama’e ondatio.
Then she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. “Send everyone away!” said Amnon. And everyone went out.
10 Le hoe t’i Amnone amy Tamare: Endeso an-traño atoy i haneñey hihinanako an-taña’o. Aa le rinambe’ i Tamare o bokomofo nanoe’eo vaho nendese’e mb’ an-traño ao hazotso’e amy Amnone rahalahi’ey.
Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat it from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes she had made and went to her brother Amnon’s bedroom.
11 Aa ie nañarine aze hanjotsoa’e, hikama, le nivihine’e vaho nanoe’e ty hoe, Antao rahavaveko, miharoa tihy amako.
And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said, “Come lie with me, my sister!”
12 Le hoe ty natoi’e aze: Aiy! ry rahalahiko, ko azì’o; fa tsy fanoeñe e Israele ao o raha zao; ko anoe’o o haloloañe zao.
“No, my brother!” she cried. “Do not humiliate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
13 Le izaho, aia ty hivaveako ty hasalarako? ihe ka ty ho mpiamo halò-tsere’ Israeleo. Aa le, miambane ama’o, misaontsia amy mpanjakay fa tsy ho tana’e ama’o iraho.
Where could I ever take my shame? And you would be like one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
14 Fe tsy hinao’e ty fiarañanaña’e; aa kanao naozatse te ama’e, nazì’e hiolotse.
But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her.
15 Nalaiñe aze amy zao t’i Amnone am-palaim-binta-mena; toe nandikoatse i nikokoa’e azey ty falai’e henane zao. Le hoe t’i Amnone ama’e, Mitroara, akia.
Then Amnon hated Tamar with such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. “Get up!” he said to her. “Be gone!”
16 Le hoe re tama’e: Aiy avao, fa lombolombo’ i raty nanoe’o amakoy o fampisintaha’o ahy ama’oo, fe tsy hinao’e.
“No,” she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!” But he refused to listen to her.
17 Le kinoi’e i mpitoro’e mpiatrak’ azey, Apitsoho amako ty ampela toy vaho sikadaño o lalañeo t’ie miakatse
Instead, he called to his attendant and said, “Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her!”
18 (Ie amy zao nisikiñe lamba maro-volo, toe sikiñe lava mireparepa nisikina’ o somondrara ana’ i mpanjakaio). Aa le nakare’ i mpitoro’ey vaho sinikada’e i lalañey t’ie niakatse,
So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore.
19 le nampipoke lavenoke añambone’e t’i Tamare naho rinia’e i siki’e maro-volo nisikina’ey naho nasampe’e añambone’e eo o taña’eo vaho nandeha; nikoaike t’ie nimb’eo.
And Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her robe. And putting her hand on her head, she went away crying bitterly.
20 Le hoe t’i Absalome rahalahi’e ama’e, Nindre ama’o hao t’i Amnone rahalahi’oy? aa mitsiña hey ry rahavaveko: ie rahalahi’o, ko tana’o an-tro’o ao o raha zao. Aa le nitambatse añ’ anjomba’ i Absalome rahalahi’e ao re, nihontoke.
Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar lived as a desolate woman in the house of her brother Absalom.
21 Aa ie jinanji’ i Davide le niforoforo;
When King David heard all this, he was furious.
22 vaho tsy nisaontsy ndra soa ndra raty amy Amnone ka t’i Absalome; fa niheje’ i Absalome vintañe t’i Amnone, amy namahora’e i Tamare rahavave’ey.
And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon for disgracing his sister Tamar.
23 Ie taoñe roe añe, naho e Baale-katsore añ’ila’ i Efraime ey o pañitsi-bolon’ añondri’ i Absalome; le hene nambara’ i Absalome o ana-dahi’ i mpanjakaio.
Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king.
24 Aa le niheo amy mpanjakay mb’eo t’i Absalome nanao ty hoe: Inao te amam-pañitsik’ añondry ty mpitoro’o; aa ehe te hindre lia ami’ty mpitoro’o irehe rekets’ o mpitoro’oo.
And he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the king and his servants please come with me?”
25 Fe hoe i mpanjakay amy Absalome: Aiy, anako, ee te tsy hañavelo mb’eo iaby tika hera havesatse ama’o. Aa ndra t’ie nazì’e tsy nimete ho mb’eo, fe nitatae’e.
“No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.
26 Aa naho tsie, le apoho hindre ama’ay t’i Amnone rahalahiko. Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Ino ty hindreza’e ama’o?
“If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the king asked.
27 Mbe nazi’ i Absalome, vaho nado’e hindre ama’e iaby t’i Amnone naho o ana-dahi’ i mpanjakaio.
But Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.
28 Linili’ i Absalome amy zao o mpitoro’eo, ami’ty hoe: Inao, hey, naho falefale amy divaiy ty arofo’ i Amnone naho manao ty hoe ama’ areo iraho, Lafao t’i Amnone, le vonò, ko hembañe, tsy fa liniliko? Mahasibeha, naho mahimbaña.
Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!”
29 Aa le nanoe’o mpitoro’ i Absalomeo amy Amnone i nandilia’ i Absalomey. Le songa niongake o anam-panjakao, niningitse borìke vaho nitriban-day.
So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.
30 Ie mbe an-dala mb’eo, le niheo amy Davide ty rehake nanao ty hoe: Fa zinama’ i Absalome iaby o anam-panjakao vaho tsy nengan-konka’e.
While they were on the way, a report reached David: “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king; not one of them is left!”
31 Niongak’ amy zao i mpanjakay, nandriatse o saro’eo, le nibabok’ mb’an-tane; le nijohañe eo iaby o mpitoro’eo aman-tsiky riniatse.
Then the king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 Aa hoe ty natoi’ Ionadabe, ana’i Simeà, rahalahi’ i Davide, Ehe tsy hatao’ ty talèko te fonga zinama’ iareo o ajalahy anam-panjakao; fa i Amnone avao ty nihomake; toe namantaña’ i Absalome ‘nio boak’ amy andro namahorañe i Tamare rahavave’ey.
But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed all the sons of the king, for only Amnon is dead. In fact, Absalom has planned this since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar.
33 Aa ee tsy ho rambese’ i talèko mpanjaka añ’arofo’e te fonga nikoromake o ana-dahi’ i mpanjakaio; fa i Amnone avao ty nihomake.
So now, my lord the king, do not take to heart the report that all the sons of the king are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
34 Nienga an-day ka t’i Absalome. Niandra amy zao ty ajalahy mpijilojilo le nahatalake ondaty maro nimb’eo amboho aze niary añ’ ila’ i vohitsey.
Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. When the young man standing watch looked up, he saw many people coming down the road west of him, along the side of the hill. And the watchman went and reported to the king, “I see men coming from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill.”
35 Le hoe t’Ionadabe amy mpanjakay: Hehe te mb’etoa o ana-dahim-panjakao, manahake i vinolam-pitoro’oy, ie henaneo.
So Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the sons of the king have arrived! It is just as your servant said.”
36 Ie vaho nampigadoñe i saontsi’ey le ingo pok’eo o ana-dahim-panjakao; nampipoña-peo nangololoike, vaho nangoihoy ty rovetse ka i mpanjakay rekets’ o mpitoro’e iabio.
And as he finished speaking, the sons of the king came in, wailing loudly. Then the king and all his servants also wept very bitterly.
37 Fe niherereake mb’e Talmay ana’ i Amihode mpanjaka’ i Gesore añe t’i Absalome; vaho nirovetse i ana’ey lomoñandro lomoñandro t’i Davide.
Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But David mourned for his son every day.
38 Aa le nilay mb’e Gesore t’i Absalome vaho nitambatse añe telo taoñe.
After Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, he stayed there three years.
39 Nahakoretse ty arofo’ i Davide ty hamaniña’e i Absalome; f’ie nanintsiñe ty amy Amnone kanao nihomake.
And King David longed to go to Absalom, for he had been consoled over Amnon’s death.
