1It happened after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
1 Woodin banda a go, Dawda ize Absalom gonda wayme hanno fo, kaŋ se i ga ne Tamar. Amnon, Dawda ize aru fo binde, a ga boona Tamar.
1And 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.
2Amnon was so troubled that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
2 Amnon sakulla mo nga waymo Tamar sabbay se hala arwaso sinda baani, zama se wandiyo no. Haya wo kaa ka sandi Amnon se da mate kaŋ nga ga du ka hay fo kulu te a se.
2And Amnon was so vexed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything unto her.
3But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
3 Amma Amnon gonda coro fo kaŋ maa Yonadab, Dawda beero Simeya ize no. Yonadab wo mo, boro no kaŋ ga caram gumo.
3But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
4He 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.”
4 A ne Amnon se:« Ya nin bonkoono izo, ifo se no ni go ga faabu han kulu? Ni si ba ni ma ci ay se, wala?» Amnon ne a se: «Ay ga boona Tamar no, ay baabo izo Absalom waymo.»
4And he said unto him, Why, O son of the king, art thou thus lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
5Jonadab 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 dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.’”
5 Yonadab ne a se: «Kani ni dima boŋ ka te danga ni jante no. Waati kaŋ ni baaba kaa nga ma di nin se, kala ni ma ne a se: ‹Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ay waymo Tamar ma kaa k'ay no ŋwaari kayna, ya ŋwa. A ma ŋwaari hanse ay jine zama ay ma di a, ay ma ŋwa a kambe ra mo.› »
5And 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 from her hand.
6So 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.”
6 Amnon binde kani ka te sanda nga jante no. Waato kaŋ bonkoono kaa zama nga m'a guna se, Amnon ne bonkoono se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray no, ma naŋ ay waymo Tamar ma kaa ka maasa hinka te ay se ay jine, zama ay ma ŋwa a kambe ra.»
6So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, Let her sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.
7Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
7 Kala Dawda donton fu Tamar do ka ne: «Koy sohõ ni armo Amnon kwaara ka ŋwaari hanse a se.»
7Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.
8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. She took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
8 Tamar binde koy nga armo Amnon kwaara. Nga mo goono ga kani noodin. Tamar na hamni diibi k'a musay, ka te maasa armo jine, a binde na maasa ton.
8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
9She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Every man went out from him.
9 A na cambu sambu mo k'i bare a jine, amma armo wangu ka ŋwa. Kala Amnon ne: «Alborey kulu m'ay no nango.» Alborey mo, afo kulu fatta k'a no nango.
9And 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.
10Amnon 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.
10 Amnon ne Tamar se: «Ma kande ŋwaaro kaniyaŋ fu-izo ra, ay ma ŋwa ni kambe ra.» Tamar na maasey kaŋ a ton din sambu, ka kand'ey kaniyaŋ fu-izo ra nga armo Amnon do.
10And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
11When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister!”
11 Waato kaŋ a kand'ey a jarga zama a ma ŋwa, kala Amnon na nga waymo di ka ne a se: «Ay waymo, kaa ka kani nda ay.»
11And 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.
12She 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.
12 Tamar tu a se ka ne: «Abada, ay armo, ma s'ay kaynandi, zama a si hima i ma woone dumi te Israyla ra. Ma si saamotaray woone te.
12And 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.
13I, 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.”
13 Ay wo binde, man no ay ga konda ay haawo? Ni bumbo sanni mo, ni ga ciya sanda boro yaamo cine Israyla ra. Sohõ binde, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma salaŋ bonkoono se, zama a si ni ganji ay.»
13And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt 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.
14However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.
14 Kulu nda yaadin armo mana yadda nd'a sanno, amma za kaŋ a bisa waymo gaabi, a hin a k'a kom.
14Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.
15Then Amnon hated her with exceeding 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!”
15 Waato din gaa Amnon ye ka konn'a nda konnari laalo gumo, hala konnaro kaŋ a konn'a nd'a din, a jaase baakasina kaŋ a jin ka ba r'a d'a za sintina. Amnon binde ne a se: «Tun ka fatta.»
15Then 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.
16She 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.
16 Amma waymo ne a se: «Abada, manti yaadin no! Zama taali beeri woone kaŋ ni goono ga te k'ay tuti, a bisa goy laala din kaŋ ni jin ka te ay se.» Amma Amnon wangu ka maa waymo sanno.
16And 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.
17Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”
17 Gaa no a na nga bannya fo kaŋ ga saajaw a se ce ka ne a se: «Ma waybora din kaa taray ay se, ka fu meyo saafi.»
17Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
18She had a garment of various colors on her; for with such robes were the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
18 Tamar gonda kwaay kuuku nga gaahamo gaa, zama kwaay woodin yaŋ dumi no bonkoono ize wandiyey ga bankaaray d'a. Saaya din Amnon bannya na waybora kaa taray ka fu meyo saafi.
18And she had a garment of divers colors 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.
19Tamar 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.
19 Tamar binde na boosu gusam ka say nga boŋo boŋ ka nga kwaay kuuko kaŋ go a jinda gaa din kortu, ka nga kambe dake nga boŋ ra ka nga diraw te. A ga dira, a ga hẽ da jinde beeri.
19And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
20Absalom 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.
20 A armo Absalom ne a se: «Ni arme Amnon go ni banda, wala? Amma sohõ kala ni ma dangay, ya ay waymo, nga wo ni arme no. Ma si woodin gaay ni bina ra.» Tamar binde goro nga armo Absalom windo ra ka nga boŋ seew.
20And 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.
21But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
21 Amma waato kaŋ bonkoono Dawda maa hayey wo kulu kaŋ te baaru, a futu gumo.
21But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
22Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
22 Amma Absalom mana salaŋ Amnon se, hala gomni wala hasaraw wane, zama Absalom goono ga konna Amnon zama a n'a waymo Tamar hasara.
22And Absalom spake unto Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23It happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
23 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ jiiri hinka timme, Absalom gonda feeji hamni hõsekoyaŋ Baal-Hazor ra, kaŋ go Ifraymu jarga. Absalom mo na bonkoono izey kulu ce i ma kaa bato do.
23And 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.
24Absalom came to the king, and said, “See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”
24 Absalom binde kaa bonkoono do ka ne: «Guna ay, ni tamo gonda feeji hamni hõsekoyaŋ. Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, da bonkoono yadda, nga nda nga tamey kulu ma kaa ay, ni tamo banda.»
24And 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.
25The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
25 Bonkoono ne Absalom se: «Abada, ay izo, iri kulu si koy, zama iri ma si ni tiŋandi.» Kala Absalom n'a faali. Kulu nda yaadin bonkoono mana yadda, amma a na albarka gaara a se.
25And 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.
26Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
26 Waato din gaa no Absalom ne: «Da manti yaadin no, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ay beere Amnon ma koy iri banda.» Bonkoono ne a se: «Ifo se no a ga koy ni banda?»
26Then 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?
27But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
27 Amma Absalom n'a kankam hal a naŋ Amnon da bonkoono izey kulu ma koy Absalom banda.
27But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
28Absalom 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!”
28 Absalom na nga tamey lordi mo ka ne:« Araŋ ma laakal bo, waati kaŋ Amnon bina kaan duvan* haŋyaŋo do. D'ay ga ne araŋ se: ‹Wa Amnon kar!› saaya din araŋ m'a wi, araŋ ma si humburu bo. Manti ay n'araŋ lordi? Araŋ ma te bine-gaabi, wa te alboro-teera.»
28And 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.
29The 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.
29 Absalom tamey binde te Amnon se sanda mate kaŋ Absalom n'i lordi nd'a. Waato din bonkoono izey kulu tun. Boro kulu na nga alambaana kaaru ka zuru.
29And 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.
30It happened, while they were in the way, that the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!”
30 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ i go fonda boŋ ga koy, kala baaro koy ka to Dawda do ka ne: «Absalom na bonkoono izey kulu wi, baa afolloŋ mana cindi!»
30And 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.
31Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
31 Bonkoono binde tun ka nga bankaarayey tooru-tooru ka kani ganda. A tamey kulu mo kay a jarga, i bankaarayey go tooranteyaŋ.
31Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
32Jonadab, 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.
32 Kala Yonadab, Dawda beero Simeya ize tu ka ne: «Ay koyo ma si tammahã hal i na bonkoono ize arwasey kulu wi no bo. Amnon hinne no ka bu, zama Absalom miila boŋ no i na woodin te za hano kaŋ hane a n'a waymo Tamar hasara.
32And 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.
33Now 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 Amnon only is dead.”
33 Sohõ binde koyo ay bonkoono ma si woodin gaay ni bina ra, hala ni ma tammahã hala bonkoono ize arey kulu bu, zama Amnon hinne no ka bu.»
33Now 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.
34But 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.
34 Amma Absalom zuru. Arwaso kaŋ goono ga batama batu binde na nga moy feeri ka guna, kal a di nga banda boro boobo go ga kaa. I goono ga tondo caso fonda gana.
34But 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.
35Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
35 Yonadab mo ne bonkoono se: «Bonkoono izey neeya, i kaa. Sanda mate kaŋ ay, ni tamo ci, yaadin mo no ka te.»
35And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
36It happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
36 Waato kaŋ a na sanno ci ka ban, bonkoono izey kaa. I na ngey jindey sambu ka soobay ka hẽ. Bonkoono nda nga tamey kulu mo hẽ da hẽeni korno.
36And 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.
37But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
37 Amma Absalom zuru ka koy Gesur koyo, Talmay Amihud ize do. Dawda mo na bu kunfa hẽeni te han kulu.
37But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.
38So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
38 Yaadin cine no Absalom zuru nd'a. A koy Gesur ka goro noodin jiiri hinza.
38So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39King David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
39 Bonkoono Dawda binde faaji nda Absalom, zama za kaŋ Amnon jin ka bu, a hin suuru nda woodin.
39And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
