2 Samueri 13
1 Munguva iyoyo, Amunoni mwanakomana waDhavhidhi akachiva Tamari, hanzvadzi yaAbhusaromu mwanakomana waDhavhidhi yakanga yakanaka kwazvo.
After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 Amunoni akatambudzika kusvikira pakurwara pamusoro paTamari hanzvadzi yake, nokuti hazvaigona kuti amuite chimwe chinhu.
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.
3 Zvino Amunoni aiva neshamwari yake yainzi Jonadhabhu mwanakomana waShimea, mukoma waDhavhidhi. Jonadhabhu akanga ari munhu aiva namano.
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
4 Akabvunza Amunoni akati, “Seiko, iwe mwanakomana wamambo, uchipunyaira mangwanani oga oga? Haungandiudzewo here?” Amunoni akati kwaari, “Ndinoda Tamari, hanzvadzi yomununʼuna wangu Abhusaromu.”
He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Will not you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 Jonadhabhu akati, “Enda unorara unyepedzere kurwara. Zvino kana baba vako vauya kuzokuona, uti kwavari, ‘Ndinokumbira kuti hanzvadzi yangu Tamari auye andipe zvokudya. Ndinoda kuti agadzire zvokudya ini ndichiona kuti ndimuone uye ndigodya zvichibva mumaoko ake.’”
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 Saka Amunoni akavata pasi akanyepedzera kurwara. Zvino mambo paakauya kuzomuona, Amunoni akati kwaari, “Ndinokumbira kuti Tamari hanzvadzi yangu auye andibikire chingwa chakaisvonaka ndichiona, kuti ndigodya zvichibva mumaoko ake.”
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 Dhavhidhi akatumira shoko kuna Tamari kumba kwamambo akati, “Enda kumba kwehanzvadzi yako Amunoni umugadzirire zvokudya.”
Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
8 Zvino Tamari akaenda kumba kwaAmunoni hanzvadzi yake, uyo akanga akarara pasi. Akatora mukanyiwa, akakanya, akaumba chingwa uye akachibika iye achiona.
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 Akatora pani ndokumupa chingwa, asi iye akaramba kudya. Amunoni akati, “Vanhu vose ngavabude muno.” Saka vanhu vose vakabuda.
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 Amunoni ndokubva ati kuna Tamari, “Uya nezvokudya muno mumba mangu mokurara ndidye zvichibva muruoko rwako.” Zvino Tamari akatora chingwa chaakanga abika akaenda nacho mumba yokurara yehanzvadzi yake Amunoni.
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 Asi akati achimupa kuti adye, iye akamubata akati, “Uya urare neni, hanzvadzi yangu.”
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 Iye akati kwaari, “Kwete, hanzvadzi yangu! Usandichinya. Chinhu chakadai hachifaniri kuitwa muIsraeri! Usaita chinhu chakaipa zvakadai.
She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not you do this folly!
13 Ko, ini ndichavei? Uchava somumwe wamapenzi akaipa muIsraeri. Ndapota, taura namambo; haangamborambi kuti ndiroorwe newe.”
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 Asi iye akaramba kumuteerera, uye nokuti akanga ane simba kumudarika, akamubata chibharo.
However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
15 Ipapo Amunoni akabva amuvenga nokuvenga kukuru kwazvo, akamuvenga kupfuura kumuda kwaaiva ambomuita. Amunoni akati kwaari, “Muka uende!”
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 Iye akati kwaari, “Kwete! Kundidzinga muno kwakashata kudarika zvawatondiita nechakare.” Asi iye akaramba kumuteerera.
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 Akadana muranda wake akati kwaari, “Dzinga mukadzi uyu abve muno uye ukiye mukova kana achinge abuda.”
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 Ipapo muranda wake akamubudisa panze akakiya mukova shure kwake. Akanga akapfeka nguo yaikosha zvikuru yaipenya, nokuti ndidzo nguo dzaipfekwa navanasikana vamambo vaiva mhandara.
She had a garment of various colors 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 Tamari akazvizodza madota akabvarura nguo inokosha yaakanga akapfeka. Akabata musoro wake ndokuenda achichema zvikuru.
Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
20 Hanzvadzi yake Abhusaromu akati kwaari, “Ko, ndiAmunoni, hanzvadzi yako, anga anewe here? Chinyarara zvako, hanzvadzi; iye ihanzvadzi yako. Usanyanyozvidya mwoyo nazvo.” Uye Tamari akagara mumba maAbhusaromu hanzvadzi yake, akava mukadzi akasurukirwa.
Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 Zvino mambo Dhavhidhi akati anzwa zvose izvi, akatsamwa kwazvo.
But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
22 Abhusaromu haana kana kumbotaura shoko kuna Amunoni, rakanaka kana rakaipa; akavenga Amunoni nokuti akanga akanyadzisa hanzvadzi yake Tamari.
Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23 Mushure mamakore maviri; vaveuri vamakwai aAbhusaromu pavakanga vari paBhaari Hazori pedyo nomuganhu weEfuremu, akakoka vanakomana vose vamambo kuti vauye ikoko.
After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
24 Abhusaromu akaenda kuna mambo akandoti, “Muranda wenyu aita kuti vaveuri vauye. Ndapota, ko, mambo namakurukota ake haangauyi kuzova neni here?”
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 Mambo akapindura akati, “Kwete, mwanakomana wangu. Hatifaniri kuenda tose; tingazova mutoro kwauri.” Kunyange zvazvo akamugombedzera, akaramba kuenda, asi akamuropafadza.
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 Ipapo Abhusaromu akati, “Kana zvisingaiti, chitenderai henyu mununʼuna wangu Amunoni kuti aende nesu.” Mambo akamubvunza akati, “Ko, iye anoendereiko nemi?”
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 Asi Abhusaromu akavanyengetedza, saka akazotendera Amunoni navanakomana vose vamambo kuti vaende navo.
But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
28 Abhusaromu akarayira vanhu vake akati, “Teererai! Kana Amunoni anwa waini zvokuti haachabviri nokufara uye ini ndikati kwamuri, ‘Urayai Amunoni,’ ibvai mamuuraya. Musatya. Handizini ndakurayirai here? Simbai mutsunge mwoyo.”
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. Do not be afraid. Have not I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
29 Saka vanhu vaAbhusaromu vakaita kuna Amunoni sokurayirwa kwavakanga vaitwa naAbhusaromu. Ipapo vana vose vamambo vakasimuka, vakatasva manyurusi avo vakatiza.
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 Vachiri munzira kudaro, shoko rakasvika kuna Dhavhidhi richiti, “Abhusaromu auraya vanakomana vose vamambo; hapana kana mumwe zvake asara.”
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 Mambo akasimuka, akabvarura nguo dzake akazvambarara pasi; ipapo varanda vake vose vakauya vaine nguo dzakabvaruka vakamira paari.
Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 Asi Jonadhabhu mwanakomana waShimea, mukoma waDhavhidhi, akati, “Ishe wangu ngaarege kufunga kuti vauraya machinda ake ose; Amunoni oga ndiye afa. Izvi zvakagara zviri muurongwa hwaAbhusaromu kubvira musi wakabatwa chibharo hanzvadzi yake Tamari naAmunoni.
Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Do not 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 Naizvozvo zvino Ishe wangu mambo ngaarege kuzvidya mwoyo neshoko rokuti vanakomana vose vamambo vafa. Amunoni oga ndiye afa.”
Now therefore do not 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 Panguva iyoyo, Abhusaromu akatiza. Zvino murume akanga amire akarinda akatarira kumusoro akaona vanhu vazhinji mumugwagwa nechokumavirazuva kwake, vachiburuka norutivi rwegomo. Nharirire iyi yakaenda ikandoudza mambo kuti, “Ndiri kuona varume kunzira yeHoronaimu, kurutivi rwegomo.”
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 Jonadhabhu akati kuna Mambo, “Tarirai, vanakomana vamambo vasvika; zvaitika sokutaura kwomuranda wenyu.”
Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
36 Akati achipedza kutaura, vanakomana vamambo vakabva vapinda, vachiungudza zvikuru. Zvino mambo pamwe chete navaranda vake vakachema neshungu kwazvo.
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 Abhusaromu akatiza akaenda kuna Tarimai mwanakomana waAmihudhi, mambo weGeshuri. Asi mambo Dhavhidhi akachema pamusoro pomwanakomana wake mazuva ose.
But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38 Mushure mokunge Abhusaromu atiza akaenda kuGeshuri, akandogarako kwamakore matatu.
So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 Uye mweya wamambo wakashuva kwazvo kuenda kuna Abhusaromu, nokuti zvino akanga anyaradzwa pamusoro porufu rwaAmunoni.
King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
