2 Hamuera 13

1 Muri iho i enei mea, na he tuahine to Apoharama tama a Rawiri, ko Tamara te ingoa, he attahua; a i arohaina ia e Amoanono tama a Rawiri.

And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

2 Na ngaua kinotia ana a Amanono, no ka mate ia mo tona tuahine, mo Tamara, he wahine hoki ia, a ki te whakaaro o Amanono he he rawa ki te meatia tetahi mea ki a ia.

And Amnon was so distressed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do any thing unto her.

3 He hoa ia to Amanono, tona ingoa ko Ionarapa, he tama na Himea, na tetahi o nga tuakana o Rawiri; he tangata murere rawa ano a Ionarapa.

But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.

4 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, He aha koe, e te tama a te kingi, i penei ai te kikokore i tenei ata, i tenei ata? e kore ianei koe e whakaatu ki ahau? Ano ra ko Amanono ki a ia, E aroha ana ahau ki a Tamara, ki te tuahine o Apoharama, o toku teina.

And he said unto him: 'Why, O son of the king, art thou thus becoming leaner from day to day? wilt thou not tell me?' And Amnon said unto him: 'I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.'

5 Na ka mea a Ionarapa ki a ia, Takoto i runga i tou moenga, ka whakamatemate hoki i a koe, a ka tae mai tou papa kia kite i a koe, na ka mea ki a ia, Kia haere mai toku tuahine, a Tamara ki te whangai i ahau ki te kai, ki te taka hoki i te kai i t aku tirohanga, kia kite atu ai ahau, kia kai ai i ta tona ringa.

And Jonadab said unto him: 'Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick; and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him: Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.'

6 Heoi ka takoto a Amanono, ka whakamatemate; a, i te taenga mai o te kingi kia kite i a ia, ka mea a Amanono ki te kingi, Tena kia haere mai a Tamara, toku tuahine ki te hanga i etahi keke i taku tirohanga, kia rua, a ka kai ahau i ta tona ringa.

So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick; and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king: 'Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.'

7 Katahi ka tono tangata a Rawiri ki te whare ki a Tamara, ka mea, Tena, haere ki te whare o tou tungane, o Amanono, ki te taka kai mana.

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying: 'Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.'

8 Heoi haere ana a Tamara ki te whare o tona tungane, o Amanono, a i te takoto tera: na ka mau ia ki te paraoa, a pokepokea ana, hanga ana hei keke i tana tirohanga, na tunua ana e ia nga keke.

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.

9 Na kua mau ia ki te parai, ringihia ana e ia ki tona aroaro: heoi ka whakaparahako tera ki te kai. Na ka mea a Amanono, Kia mawehe katoa atu nga tangata i ahau. Na ka mawehe katoa nga tangata i a ia.

And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said: 'Have out all men from me.' And they went out every man from him.

10 Na ka mea a Amanono ki a Tamara, Maua ake te kai na ki te whare moenga, a ma tou ringa ahau e whangai. Na ka mau a Tamara ki nga keke i hanga e ia, a kawea ana ki a Amanono, ki tona tungane, ki te whare moenga.

And Amnon said unto Tamar: 'Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand.' And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

11 A, i tana kawenga ki a ia kia kainga, na ka hopu tera i a ia, ka mea, Haere mai, taua ka takoto tahi, e toku tuahine.

And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her: 'Come lie with me, my sister.'

12 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Kauaka, e toku tungane, kaua ahau e whakaititia, kahore hoki he mahi penei i roto i a Iharaira; kati ra tenei mahi wairangi.

And she answered him: 'Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel; do not thou this wanton deed.

13 Ko ahau hoki, kei hea he hunanga mo toku whakama? a ka rite koe ki tetahi o te hunga wairangi o Iharaira. Engari ra korero ki te kingi; e kore hoki ahau e kaiponuhia e ia ki a koe.

And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the base men in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.'

14 Heoi kihai ia i pai ki te whakarongo ki tona reo: na he kaha rawa ia i a ia, a whakaititia ana ia e ia, a takotoria ana e ia.

Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.

15 Katahi ka nui atu te kino i kino ai a Amanono ki a ia; nui atu te kino i kino ai ia ki a ia i te aroha i aroha ai ia ki a ia. A ka mea a Amanono ki a ia, Whakatika, haere.

Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her: 'Arise, be gone.'

16 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Kahore he rawa; nui atu te kino o tenei tononga i ahau i tera i meatia e koe ki ahau. Otiia kihai ia i pai ki te whakarongo ki a ia.

And she said unto him: 'Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is worse than the other that thou didst unto me.' But he would not hearken unto her.

17 Katahi ka karangatia e ia tana tangata i mahi nei ki a ia, a ka mea, Tonoa atu tenei wahine i toku aroaro ki waho, whakarawatia hoki te tatau i muri i a ia.

Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said: 'Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.' —

18 Na he kakahu purepure to te wahine, he pera hoki nga koroka i kakahuria ai nga tamahine wahine a te kingi. Katahi ka kawea ia e tana tangata ki waho, a whakarawatia ana te tatau i muri i a ia.

Now she had a garment of many colours upon her; for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. — And his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

19 Na ka opehia e Tamara he pungarehu ki runga ki tona matenga, a haea ana e ia tona kakahu purepure, taupokina iho ona ringa ki runga ki tona matenga, a haere ana, me te aue haere.

And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of many colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.

20 Na ka mea a Apoharama tona tungane ki a ia, I a koe tou tungane a Amanono? tena, noho puku, e toku tuahine; ko tou tungane hoki ia, kaua tou ngakau e mea ki tenei mea. Na noho ana a Tamara, whakapouaru ana i te whare o tona tungane, o Apoharama.

And Absalom her brother said unto her: 'Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now hold thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart.' So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

21 I te rongonga ia o Kingi Rawiri i enei mea katoa, nui rawa tona riri.

But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.

22 Na kahore a Apoharama kupu ki a Amanono, ahakoa pai, ahakoa kino: e mauahara ana hoki a Apoharama ki a Amanono, mona i whakaiti i tona tuahine i a Tamara.

And Absalom spoke unto Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

23 A, e rua rawa tau i muri, na he kaikutikuti hipi a Apoharama i Paara Hatoro, i te taha o Eparaima, a karangatia ana e Apoharama nga tama katoa a te kingi.

And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

24 Na ka haere a Apoharama ki te kingi, a ka mea, Nana, he kaikutikuti enei a tau pononga, na kia haere te kingi ratou ko ana pononga hei hoa mo tau pononga.

And Absalom came to the king, and said: 'Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.'

25 Na ka mea te kingi ki a Apoharama, Kauaka, e taku tama, kaua matou katoa e haere, kei taimaha koe i a matou. Na tohe ana ia ki a ia: otiia kihai tera i pai ki te haere; engari i manaaki i a ia.

And the king said to Absalom: 'Nay, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome unto thee.' And he pressed him; howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.

26 Katahi ka mea a Apoharama, Ki te kore, tukua toku tuakana a Amanono, kia haere tahi matou. Na ka mea te kingi, Kia haere ia i a koe hei aha?

Then said Absalom: 'If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us.' And the king said unto him: 'Why should he go with thee?'

27 Ka tohe ia a Apoharama ki a ia, a ka tukua e ia a Amanono ratou ko nga tama katoa a te kingi hei hoa mona.

But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

28 Na i whakahau a Apoharama i ana tangata, i mea, E kite koutou i te ngakau o Amanono e koa ana i te waina, a ka mea ahau ki a koutou, Patua a Amanono, na me whakamate, kaua e wehi; he teka ianei naku koutou i whakahau? kia maia, kia toa.

And Absalom commanded his servants, saying: 'Mark ye now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine; and when I say unto you: Smite Amnon, then kill him, fear not; have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.'

29 A rite tonu ta nga tangata a Apoharama i mea ai ki a Amanono ki ta Apoharama i whakahau ai. Katahi ka whakatika katoa nga tama a te kingi, a eke ana ki tona muera, ki tona muera, a rere ana.

And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got him up upon his mule, and fled.

30 I a ratou ano i te ara, ka tae te rongo ki a Rawiri, ka korerotia, Kua patua e Apoharama nga tama katoa a te kingi, kihai hoki tetahi o ratou i mahue.

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the tidings came to David, saying: 'Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.'

31 Katahi ka whakatika te kingi, a haea ana e ia ona kakahu, takoto ana ki te whenua; me te tu ano ana tangata katoa, he mea haehae nga kakahu.

Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

32 Na ka oho a Ionarapa tama a Himea, a te tuakana o Rawiri, ka ki, Kei mea toku ariki, ko nga taitama katoa, ko nga tama a te kingi kua whakamatea nei; engari ko Amanono anake i mate: ko ta Apoharama hoki tenei i karanga ai, he mea whakatakoto no te ra ano i whakaiti ai tera i tona tuahine, i a Tamara.

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said: 'Let not 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 hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

33 Na, tena, kaua te ngakau o toku ariki, o te kingi e mea ki taua mea, e whakaaro, Ko nga tama katoa a te kingi kua mate: kahore, ko Amanono anake i mate.

Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.'

34 Rere ana ia a Apoharama. Na, ko te marangatanga o nga kanohi o te tamaiti e tutei atu ana, ka titiro, na he nui te hunga e haere mai ana i te ara i te taha o te puke i tona tuara.

But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people in a roundabout way by the hill-side.

35 Na ka mea a Ionarapa ki te kingi, Nana, ko nga tama a te kingi te haere mai nei; e rite ana ki ta tau pononga i mea ai.

And Jonadab said unto the king: 'Behold, the king's sons are come; as thy servant said, so it is.'

36 Mutu kau tana korero, na ko te haerenga mai o nga tama a te kingi, a nui atu to ratou reo ki te tangi: a nui atu te tangi i tangi ai te kingi ratou ko ana tangata katoa.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.

37 Rere ana ia a Apoharama, a haere ana ki a Taramai tama a Amihuru, kingi o Kehuru. Ko Rawiri ia, tangihia ana e ia tana tama i nga ra katoa.

But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

38 Heoi rere ana a Apoharama, haere ana ki Kehuru, a e toru ona tau ki reira.

So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

39 Na ka koingo te ngakau o Kingi Rawiri kia haere ki a Apoharama: kua marie hoki ia ki a Amonono, i te mea kua mate ia.

And the soul of king David failed with longing for Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
