2 USamuyeli 13
1 Ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi, u-Amnoni indodana kaDavida wathanda uThamari, owayemuhle, engudadewabo ka-Abhisalomu indodana kaDavida.
Na Dawid babarima Absalom wɔ nuabea bi a na ne ho yɛ fɛ yiye. Na saa ɔbea no din de Tamar. Na Amnon a ɔyɛ ne nuabarima no kɔn dɔɔ no.
2 U-Amnoni wabindeka waze wagula ngenxa kadadewabo uThamari, ngoba wayeyintombi egcweleyo, njalo kwakukhanya kungeke kwenzeke ukuthi enze loba yini kuye.
Amnon tuu nʼani sii Tamar so ara kosii sɛ ɛbɔɔ no yare. Na ɔyɛ ɔbabun nti, na na ɛyɛ sɛ Amnon rentumi nyɛ no hwee.
3 U-Amnoni wayelomngane wakhe owayethiwa nguJehonadabi indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida. UJehonadabi wayeliqili lendoda.
Na Amnon wɔ adamfo onifirifo bi a wɔfrɛ no Yonadab. Na ɔyɛ Dawid nuabarima Simea babarima.
4 Wabuza u-Amnoni wathi, “Kungani wena, ndodana yenkosi, ukhanya uhlobile nsuku zonke ekuseni? Awungeke ungitshele na?” U-Amnoni wathi kuye, “Ngiyamthanda uThamari, udadewabo ka-Abhisalomu umfowethu.”
Da koro bi, Yonadab bisaa Amnon se, “Asɛm bɛn na aba? Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhene babarima yɛ bosaa anɔpa biara saa?” Na Amnon buaa no se, “Medɔ Tamar, Absalom nuabea no.”
5 UJehonadabi wathi, “Hamba uyelala uzenze ogulayo. Lapho uyihlo ezekubona, wothi kuye, ‘Ngifuna udadewethu uThamari azenginika ulutho lokudla. Ukudla lokho kazekulungisela emehlweni ami, ukuze ngimkhangele ngikudle kuvela esandleni sakhe.’”
Yonadab kae se, “Eye, mɛkyerɛ wo nea wobɛyɛ. San kɔ na kɔda wo mpa so, na hyɛ da yɛ sɛnea woyare no. Sɛ wʼagya behu wo a, ka kyerɛ no se ɔnka nkyerɛ Tamar, na ɔmmɛyɛ aduan bi mma wo nni. Ka kyerɛ no se, sɛ ɔno brɛ wo aduan di a, wo ho bɛtɔ wo.”
6 Ngakho u-Amnoni walala phansi wazenza ogulayo. Kwathi inkosi isifikile ukuzambona, u-Amnoni wathi kuyo, “Ngicela udadewethu uThamari azengenzela isinkwa khonapha ukuze ngidle ngisamukela esandleni sakhe.”
Enti Amnon patuw yaree. Na ɔhene no bɛsraa no no, Amnon ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mesrɛ wo, ma Tamar mmɛhwɛ me, na ɔnnoa biribi mma minni.”
7 UDavida wathumela ilizwi kuThamari endlini yobukhosi esithi: “Hamba endlini yomnewenu u-Amnoni umlungisele ukudla.”
Dawid penee so, somaa Tamar kɔɔ Amnon fi, kɔnoaa aduan maa no.
8 Ngakho uThamari waya endlini kamnewabo u-Amnoni owayelele phansi. Wathatha inhlama wayivuba, wenza isinkwa khonapho.
Bere a Tamar duu Amnon fi hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ ɔdan a na ɔda mu no mu, sɛnea sɛ Tamar refɔtɔw asikresiam a obehu. Enti ɔtoo brodo sononko bi maa no.
9 Wasethatha ipane wamnika isinkwa, kodwa wala ukudla. U-Amnoni wasesithi, “Batshele baphume bonke abalapha.” Ngakho bonke baphuma bamtshiya.
Nanso ɔde aduan no guu apampaa so besii nʼanim no, wampɛ sɛ odi. Na Amnon ka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfo a wɔwɔ hɔ no se, “Obiara mfi ha nkɔ!” Enti wɔn nyinaa kɔe.
10 U-Amnoni wasesithi kuThamari, “Letha ukudla lapha endlini yami yokulala ukuze ungifunze ngesandla sakho.” UThamari wathatha isinkwa ayesilungisile wasisa kumnewabo u-Amnoni endlini yakhe yokulala.
Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ Tamar se, “Fa aduan no brɛ me wɔ me pia mu, na bubu hyɛ mʼano.” Enti Tamar maa so de kɔɔ hɔ.
11 Kodwa esefike laso kuye ukuba adle, wamxhakala wathi, “Woza ulale lami, dadewethu.”
Na bere a ogu so de rema no no, ɔtow hyɛɛ ne so, na ɔkae se, “Wo ne me nna, me nuabea ɔdɔfo.”
12 Yena wathi kuye, “Ungaqali, mnewethu! Ungangigebengi. Into enje akumelanga yenziwe ko-Israyeli! Ungenzi into le embi.
Na Tamar teɛɛ mu se, “Dabi da, onuabarima! Nyɛ saa amumɔyɛde yi! Nyɛ me saa! Wunim sɛ, sɛ woyɛ a, ɛyɛ bɔne kɛse wɔ Israel.
13 Mina-ke? Ngingalisusela ngaphi ihlazo lami? Wena-ke? Angithi ungafana lesinye seziphukuphuku ezixhwalileyo ko-Israyeli. Ake ukhulume lenkosi, kayisoze ingalele ukwendela kuwe.”
Na ɛhe na anka mede saa aniwu no bɛfa? Na wɔbɛka sɛ, wo nso woyɛ nkwaseafo akɛse a wɔwɔ Israel no mu baako. Mesrɛ wo, ka biribi kɛkɛ kyerɛ ɔhene, na ɔbɛma woaware me.”
14 Kodwa u-Amnoni wala ukumlalela, kwathi njengoba wayelamandla kulaye, wamgebenga.
Nanso Amnon ampene so. Na esiane sɛ ɔwɔ ahoɔden sen Tamar nti, ɔtoo no mmonnaa.
15 Emva kwalokho u-Amnoni wamzonda ngenzondo ebuhlungu kakhulu. Ngeqiniso wamzonda okudlula ukumthanda kwakhe. U-Amnoni wathi kuye, “Vuka uphume!”
Ɛhɔ ara, Amnon dɔ no dan ɔtan. Ɔtan no mu yɛɛ den sen ɔdɔ a na ɔdɔ no no. Ɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Fi ha kɔ ntɛm!”
16 Yena wathi, “Hatshi! Ukungixotsha kungaba yibubi obudlula lokhu osukwenze kimi.” Kodwa wala ukumlalela.
Tamar nso teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dabi da. Sɛ worepam me afi ha mprempren no yɛ bɔne kɛse koraa sen nea woayɛ me dedaw no.” Nanso Amnon ampɛ sɛ obetie no.
17 Wabiza inceku eyayiqondane laye wathi, “Susa umfazi lo lapha, ukhiye umnyango ngemva kwakhe.”
Ɔteɛɛ mu frɛɛ ne somfo hyɛɛ no se, “Pam saa ɔbea yi fi ha, na to pon no mu!”
18 Ngakho inceku yakhe yamkhuphela phandle yakhiya umnyango. Wayegqoke isigqoko esasiceciswe kakuhle, ngoba lolu yilo uhlobo lwesigqoko esasigqokwa ngamadodakazi enkosi ayezintombi ezigcweleyo.
Enti ɔsomfo no pam no. Na ɔhyɛ batakari tenten fɛfɛ bi sɛnea na amanne kyerɛ wɔ ɔhene babea a ɔyɛ ɔbabun ho no.
19 UThamari wazithela ngomlotha ekhanda wadabula isigqoko esicecisiweyo ayesigqokile. Wathwala imikhono ekhanda wasuka, wahamba ekhala kakhulu.
Nanso Tamar sunsuan ne batakari no mu, de nsõ guu ne ti mu. Afei, ɔde ne nsa kataa nʼani, de osu sii kwan so.
20 Umnewabo u-Abhisalomu wathi kuye, “U-Amnoni lowo, umnewenu, kade elawe na? Zithulele dadewethu; ungumnewenu. Ungayibeki enhliziyweni yakho into le.” UThamari wahlala endlini kamnewabo u-Abhisalomu, engowesifazane ohlulukelweyo.
Ne nuabarima Absalom huu no bisaa no se, “Wo nuabarima Amnon ne wo ada ana? Yɛ dinn, me nuabea; ɔyɛ wo nuabarima. Mfa saa asɛm yi nhyɛ wo koma mu.” Na Tamar tenaa ase sɛ ankonam werɛhonibea wɔ Absalom fi.
21 Inkosi uDavida esekuzwile konke lokhu wathukuthela kakhulu.
Bere a ɔhene Dawid tee asɛm no, ne bo fuw yiye.
22 U-Abhisalomu kazange atsho lizwi ku-Amnoni, elihle loba elibi; wamzonda u-Amnoni ngoba wayehlazise udadewabo uThamari.
Absalom nso anka ho hwee ankyerɛ Amnon. Nanso ɔtan Amnon yiye, efisɛ wagu ne nuabea Tamar anim ase.
23 Emva kweminyaka emibili, lapho abagundi bezimvu zika-Abhisalomu babeseBhali Hazori phansi komngcele wako-Efrayimi, wanxusa wonke amadodana enkosi ukuba aye khonale.
Mfe abien akyi, da koro bi a na wɔretwitwa Absalom nguan ho nwi wɔ Baal-Hasor a ɛbɛn Efraim hye so no, Absalom too nsa frɛɛ ɔhene mmabarima nyinaa sɛ wɔmmra hɔ.
24 U-Abhisalomu waya enkosini wathi, “Inceku yakho abagundi bayo bafikile. Kambe inkosi lezikhulu zayo ingahamba lami na?”
Absalom kɔɔ ɔhene nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me nguan nwitwitwafo reyɛ adwuma. Ɔhene ne nʼasomfo bɛba abɛka me ho ana?”
25 Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Hatshi, ndodana yami. Akumelanga sonke sihambe; singaba ngumthwalo onzima kuwe.” Lanxa u-Abhisalomu wayincenga, yala ukuhamba, kodwa yena yamvumela.
Ɔhene buae se, “Dabi, me ba. Ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa kɔ; yɛbɛyɛ ɔhaw ama wo.” Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Absalom hyɛɛ no de, nanso wampene sɛ ɔbɛkɔ, na ohyiraa no kosɛkosɛ.
26 U-Abhisalomu wasesithi, “Nxa kungenjalo, ake uvumele umfowethu u-Amnoni ahambe lathi.” Inkosi yambuza yathi, “Kungani kumele ahambe lani?”
Na Absalom kae se, “Sɛ saa na ɛte de a, ma me nuabarima Amnon mmɛka yɛn ho.” Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbɛka mo ho?”
27 Kodwa u-Abhisalomu wayincenga, ngakho yavuma ukuba u-Amnoni ahambe laye kanye lamanye amadodana enkosi.
Nanso ɔhyɛɛ no nti, ɔmaa Amnon ne ahenemma no nyinaa bɛkaa ne ho.
28 U-Abhisalomu walaya abantu bakhe wathi, “Lalelani! Nxa u-Amnoni esethabe kakhulu ngenxa yokunatha iwayini ngingathi kini, ‘Mbulaleni u-Amnoni!’ limbulale. Lingesabi. Kangiliphanga umlayo lo na? Qinani libe lesibindi.”
Absalom ka kyerɛɛ ne nkurɔfo no se, “Muntie! Montwɛn na Amnon mmow nsa, na afei mɛyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne na moakum no. Munnsuro. Me ara na mahyɛ mo sɛ monyɛ saa. Momfa akokoduru nyɛ.”
29 Ngakho abantu baka-Abhisalomu benza ku-Amnoni lokho u-Abhisalomu ayebalaye khona. Lapho-ke wonke amadodana enkosi asuka, agada imbongolo zawo abaleka.
Enti Absalom mmarima no yɛɛ Amnon saa, sɛnea Absalom hyɛɛ wɔn no. Afei, ahene mmabarima no nyinaa sɔre tenatenaa wɔn mfurum so, na woguanee.
30 Esesendleleni umbiko wafika kuDavida usithi, “U-Abhisalomu usewabulele wonke amadodana enkosi, akukho leyodwa eseleyo.”
Bere a wɔresan akɔ Yerusalem no, saa asɛm yi duu Dawid asom se, “Absalom akunkum wo mmabarima no nyinaa a anka ɔbaako koraa.”
31 Inkosi yasukuma, yadabula izigqoko zayo yalala phansi emhlabathini; izinceku zayo zonke zema khonapho iziqgoko zazo sezizidabulile.
Ɔhene no huruw sii fam, sunsuan nʼatade mu, daa fam. Nʼafotufo nyinaa de ahodwiriw ne awerɛhow sunsuan wɔn ntade mu, dedaa fam saa ara.
32 Kodwa uJehonadabi indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida, wathi, “Inkosi yami kayingacabangi ukuthi babulele wonke amakhosana, ngu-Amnoni kuphela ofileyo. Le yinhloso ka-Abhisalomu ebivele ikhona kusukela mhla u-Amnoni egebenga udadewabo uThamari.
Nanso ankyɛ biara na Yonadab a ɔyɛ Dawid nuabarima Simea babarima no beduu hɔ kae se, “Dabi, ɛnte saa. Ɛnyɛ wo mma no nyinaa na wɔakunkum wɔn. Amnon nko ara na wɔakum no. Efi bere a Amnon too ne nuabea Tamar mmonnaa no, na Absalom yɛɛ nʼadwene saa.
33 Umhlekazi wami inkosi kayinganqineki ngombiko othi wonke amadodana enkosi afile. Ngu-Amnoni kuphela ofileyo.”
Dabi, wo mma no nyinaa nwuwui saa. Ɛyɛ Amnon nko ara.”
34 Ngalesosikhathi u-Abhisalomu wayesebalekile. Kwathi umuntu owayelinda wabona abantu abanengi emgwaqweni ngasentshonalanga, besehla eceleni lentaba. Umlindi lowo wahamba wayabikela inkosi wathi, “Ngibona abantu ngokuya eHoronayimi, eceleni kwentaba.”
Saa bere no, na Absalom aguan. Ɔwɛmfo a ɔwɔ Yerusalem fasu so no huu sɛ dɔm kɛse fi atɔe fam reba kurow no mu. Otuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ ɔhene amanneɛ se, “Mahu sɛ dɔm fi Horonaim kwan a ɛda bepɔw no nkyɛn mu hɔ no so reba.”
35 UJehonadabi wasesithi enkosini, “Khangela, amadodana enkosi asefikile; kwenzakale njengoba inceku yakho itshilo.”
Yonadab ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Wɔn na wɔreba no! Wo mma no reba sɛnea mekae no.”
36 Wathi eqeda ukukhuluma, amadodana enkosi angena ekhala kakhulu. Layo inkosi, kanye lezinceku zayo zonke bakhala kabuhlungu.
Ankyɛ na wobedui a, wɔretwa adwo, tew nisu, na ɔhene ne ne mpanyimfo nso twaa agyaadwo.
37 U-Abhisalomu wabaleka waya kuThalimayi indodana ka-Amihudi inkosi yaseGeshuri. Kodwa Inkosi uDavida walilela indodana yakhe insuku zonke.
Na Dawid suu ne babarima Amnon nna bebree. Na Absalom guan kɔɔ ne nena barima Talmai a na ɔyɛ Amihud a na ɔyɛ ɔhene Gesur no babarima nkyɛn.
38 Emva kokuba u-Abhisalomu esebaleke waya eGeshuri, wahlala khonale iminyaka emithathu.
Ɔkɔtenaa Gesur hɔ mfe abiɛsa.
39 Umoya wenkosi wafisa ukuya ku-Abhisalomu, ngoba yayisiduduzekile ngokufa kuka-Amnoni.
Na Dawid a afei wagyae Amnon wu no ho asɛm no pɛɛ sɛ ɔne ne babarima Absalom san ka bɔ mu.
