2 Saamuʼeel 13

1 Yeroo tokko Amnoon ilmi Daawit Taamaarin jaallate; isheen akka malee bareedduu, obboleettii Abesaaloom ilma Daawit sanaa turte.

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 Amnoon sababii jaalala obboleettii isaa Taamaariitiif akka malee dhiphatee dhibame; sababii isheen durba turteef Amnoon waan waanuma tokko illee ishee gochuu dandaʼu hin seene.

And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she [was] a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her.

3 Amnoon michuu akka malee jalʼaa kan Yoonaadaab jedhamu tokko qaba ture; Yoonaadaab ilma Shimeʼaa obboleessa Daawit.

But Amnon had a friend, whose name [was] Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab [was] a very subtil man.

4 Yoonaadaabis Amnooniin, “Yaa ilma mootii, dhagni kee maaliif guyyuma guyyaan huqqachaa deema? Ati natti hin himtuu?” jedhee gaafate. Amnoon immoo, “Ani Taamaar obboleettii Abesaaloom obboleessa kootii jaalladheera” isaan jedhe.

And he said unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the king’s son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.

5 Yehoonaadaabis, “Sobiitii akka nama dhukkubsateetti siree irra ciisi; yommuu abbaan kee si gaafachuu dhufutti, ‘Akka ani harka isheetii nyaadhuuf akka obboleettiin koo Taamaar dhuftee fuula koo duratti nyaata naa qopheessitu nan barbaada’ jedhiin” jedhe.

And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand.

6 Kanaafuu Amnoon sobee akka nama dhukkubsate tokkootti ciise. Yommuu mootichi isa gaafachuu dhufettis Amnoon, “Akka obboleettiin koo Taamaar dhuftee fuula koo duratti nyaata addaa naaf qopheessitee nyaadhu nan barbaada” jedheen.

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

7 Daawitis gara manaatti Taamaaritti nama ergee, “Gara mana obboleessa kee Amnoon dhaqiitii waan inni nyaatu qopheessiif” jedhe.

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat.

8 Kanaafuu Taamaar kaatee gara mana obboleessa ishee Amnoon kan ciisee ture sanaa dhaqxe. Daakuu xinnoo ishee fuutee bukeessitee fuula isaa duratti tolchite.

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded [it], and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.

9 Ergasiis buddeena tolchite sana eelee irraa fuutee dhiʼeessiteef; inni garuu nyaachuu dide. Amnoon, “Nama hunda narraa baasaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namni hundi isa biraa baʼe.

And she took a 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 Ergasiis Amnoon Taamaariin, “Akka ani harka kee irraa nyaadhuuf buddeenicha kutaa ani ciisutti naa fidi” jedhe. Taamaaris buddeena qopheessite sana fuutee Amnoon obboleessa isheetiif lafa inni ciisetti geessite.

And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought [them] into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

11 Inni garuu yommuu isheen nyaata dhiʼeessiteefitti humnaan ishee qabatee, “Yaa obboleettii ko, kottuu na wajjin ciisi” jedheen.

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

12 Isheen immoo deebiftee akkana jetteen; “Yaa obboleessa ko, waan kana hin godhin! Na hin dirqisiisin. Wanni fokkisaan akkasii Israaʼel keessatti hojjetamuu hin qabu! Ati waan hamaa kana hin godhin.

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 folly.

13 Ani maalan taʼa? Salphina koos baadhee eessan dhaqa? Ati hoo? Atis Israaʼel keessatti akka gowwaa hamaa tokkootti ilaalamuu kee ti mitii? Maaloo mootichatti himadhu; inni sitti heerumuu na hin dhowwuutii.”

And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

14 Inni garuu ishee dhagaʼuu dide; waan ishee caalaa jabaa taʼeefis humnaan ishee gudeede.

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

15 Ergasii Amnoon jibba guddaa ishee jibbe; dhugumaan hamma dur ishee jaallate caalaa ishee jibbe. Amnoonis, “Kaʼiitii baʼii deemi!” isheen jedhe.

Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that 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 Isheen immoo, “Hin taʼu! Na ariʼuun kee yakka ati duraan natti hojjette caalaa hammaata” jetteen. Inni garuu ishee dhagaʼuu dide.

And she said unto him, [There is] no cause: this evil in sending me away [is] greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.

17 Tajaajilaa ofii isaas waamee, “Dubartii kana narraa baasiitii balbala itti cufi” jedheen.

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 Tajaajilaan isaa sunis gad ishee baasee balbala itti cufe. Isheen uffata faaya adda addaatiin miidhagfame uffattee turte; intallan mootii kanneen dubarran qulqulluu taʼan uffata akkasii uffatu tureetii.

And [she had] a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters [that were] virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

19 Taamaaris mataa isheetti daaraa firfirfattee wandaboo ishee dheeraa faayawwaniin miidhagfame sana tarsaafte. Harka ishees mataa irra kaaʼattee sagalee ol fudhattee booʼaa deemte.

And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.

20 Abesaaloom obboleessi ishee, “Amnoon obboleessi kee si wajjin turee? Yaa obboleettii ko, calʼisi; inni obboleessuma kee ti. Waan kana garaatti hin qabatin” jedheen. Taamaaris kophaa ishee mana obboleessa ishee mana Abesaaloom jiraatte.

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

21 Daawit mootichi yommuu waan kana hunda dhagaʼetti baayʼee aare.

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

22 Abesaaloom dubbii tolaa yookaan hamaa tokko illee Amnoonitti hin dubbanne; Abesaaloom sababii inni obboleettii isaa Taamaarin salphiseef akka malee Amnoonin jibbee ture.

And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

23 Waggaa lamaa booddee warri hoolota Abesaaloom irraa rifeensa haadan magaalaa Baʼaal Hasoor kan Efreem biratti argamu sana keessa turan; innis akka isaan achi dhaqaniif ilmaan mootii hunda waame.

And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which [is] beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.

24 Abesaaloomis gara mootichaa dhaqee, “Namoonni hoolota garbicha keetii irraa rifeensa haadan dhufaniiru. Maaloo mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa garbicha kee wajjin haa deeman” jedhee kadhate.

And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.

25 Mootichi immoo deebisee, “Lakki yaa ilma ko, nu hundinuu deemuu hin qabnu; nu baʼaa qofa sitti taanaa” jedheen. Abesaaloom jabeessee isa kadhatu iyyuu inni isa eebbise malee isa faana hin deemne.

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

26 Abesaaloomis, “Yoo taʼuu baate, maaloo obboleessi koo Amnoon nu wajjin haa deemu” jedhe. Mootichi immoo, “Inni maaliif si wajjin deema?” jedhee gaafate.

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 Abesaaloom garuu jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu inni Amnoonii fi ilmaan mootichaa kaan isa wajjin erge.

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

28 Abesaaloom akkana jedhee namoota isaa ajaje; “Dhagaʼaa! Yommuu Amnoon daadhii wayinii dhugee machaaʼutti ani, ‘Amnoonin dhaʼaa’ isiniin jedha; isinis yommuu suma isa ajjeesaa. Hin sodaatinaa. Anatu ajaja kana isinii kenne mitii? Jabaadhaa; jagnoomaas.”

Now Absalom had 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 Kanaafuu namoonni Abesaaloom waanuma Abesaaloom isaan ajaje sana Amnoonitti hojjetan. Ilmaan mootichaa hundinuus kaʼanii gaangolii isaanii yaabbatanii baqatan.

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

30 Utuu isaan karaa irra jiranuu oduun, “Abesaaloom ilmaan mootichaa hunda fixeera; tokkoon isaanii iyyuu hin hafne” jedhu Daawit qaqqabe.

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

31 Mootichis ol kaʼee uffata isaa tarsaasee lafa ciise; tajaajiltoonni isaa kanneen isa bira dhadhaabatanii turan hundinuus uffata isaanii tatarsaasan.

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

32 Yoonaadaab ilmi Shimeʼaa ilmi obboleessa Daawit sun garuu akkana jedhe; “Gooftaan koo waan isaan ilmaan mootichaa hunda fixan hin seʼin; Amnoon qofatu duʼe. Kunis waan Abesaaloom erga Amnoon obboleettii isaa Taamaarin humnaan gudeedee jalqabee itti yaadaa turee dha.

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose [that] they have slain 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 Gooftaan koo mootichi waaʼee oduu ilmaan mootichaa hundi ajjeefamaniiru jedhu sanaa hin yaaddaʼin; Amnoon qofatu duʼe.”

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 Yeroo kanatti Abesaaloom baqateera. Namichi eegumsaaf dhaabatee tures ol jedhee ilaalee namoota baayʼee daandii Horonaayim kan gaara cina baʼu irra dhufaa jiran arge. Namichi sunis dhaqee, “Ani karaa Horonaayim, cina gaaraatti namoota nan arga” jedhee mootichatti hime.

But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.

35 Yoonaadaabis mootichaan, “Kunoo, ilmaan mootichaa dhufanii jiru; wanni kun akkuma garbichi kee jedhe taʼe” jedhe.

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

36 Akkuma inni dubbatee fixateen ilmaan mootichaa sagalee guddaadhaan booʼaa ol galan. Mootichii fi tajaajiltoonni isaa hundinuus hiqqifatanii booʼan.

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 Abesaaloom garuu baqatee gara ilma Amiihuud, gara Talmaay mooticha Geshuur sanaa dhaqe. Daawit immoo guyyaa hunda ilma isaatiif ni booʼa ture.

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

38 Abesaaloom erga baqatee Geshuur dhaqee booddee waggaa sadii achi ture.

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

39 Mootichis duʼa Amnoon irraa jajjabaannaan gara Abesaaloom dhaquuf garaan isaa kakaʼe.

And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
