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 this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
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 so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle 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.
He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love 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 said to him, “Lay down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it 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 faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, 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 home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food 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 her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
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.
She took the pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out from him.
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.
Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
11 Aa ie nañarine aze hanjotsoa’e, hikama, le nivihine’e vaho nanoe’e ty hoe, Antao rahavaveko, miharoa tihy amako.
When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “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.
She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don’t you do this folly!
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.
As for me, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, 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.
However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced 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 her with exceedingly great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Arise, 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.
She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
17 Le kinoi’e i mpitoro’e mpiatrak’ azey, Apitsoho amako ty ampela toy vaho sikadaño o lalañeo t’ie miakatse
Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after 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,
She had a garment of various colours on her, for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her.
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.
Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
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.
Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 Aa ie jinanji’ i Davide le niforoforo;
But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
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.
Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced 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.
After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
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.
Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”
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.
The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
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?
Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
27 Mbe nazi’ i Absalome, vaho nado’e hindre ama’e iaby t’i Amnone naho o ana-dahi’ i mpanjakaio.
But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
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.
Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be 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.
The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up on his mule and fled.
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, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them 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 arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; 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.
Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Don’t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced 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.
Now therefore don’t let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead; for 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.
But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
35 Le hoe t’Ionadabe amy mpanjakay: Hehe te mb’etoa o ana-dahim-panjakao, manahake i vinolam-pitoro’oy, ie henaneo.
Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is 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.
As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept 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.
But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38 Aa le nilay mb’e Gesore t’i Absalome vaho nitambatse añe telo taoñe.
So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 Nahakoretse ty arofo’ i Davide ty hamaniña’e i Absalome; f’ie nanintsiñe ty amy Amnone kanao nihomake.
King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
