2 Samuel 13
1 Now after these things, it happened that Amnon, the son of David, was in love with the very beautiful sister of Absalom, the son of David, and she was called Tamar.
Men sa ki vin rive apre sa: Absalon, pitit gason David la, te gen yon sè ki te bèl anpil. Li te rele Tama. Amnon, yon lòt pitit gason David, tonbe damou pou li.
2 And he pined for her exceedingly, so much so that, out of love for her, he became ill. For, since she was a virgin, it seemed a difficulty to him that he would do anything dishonest with her.
Amnon te sitèlman renmen l', li vin malad paske li pa t' ka fè anyen pou sa. Tama te tifi toujou. Yo pa t' kite l' kontre ak ankenn gason.
3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent man.
Men, Amnon te gen yon zanmi, yon moun yo te rele Jonadab, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David. Jonadab sa a te mètdam anpil.
4 And he said to him: “Why are you becoming so thin from day to day, O son of the king? Why won’t you tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
Li di Amnon konsa: -Ou se pitit wa a. Chak jou mwen wè figi ou kagou. Sa ki genyen? Amnon reponn li: -Mwen renmen Tama, sè Absalon, frè menm papa avè m' lan.
5 And Jonadab said to him: “Lie down upon your bed, and feign sickness. And when your father will come to visit you, say to him: ‘I ask you to let my sister Tamar come to me, so that she may give me food, and may make a small meal, so that I may eat it from her hand.’”
Jonadab di li: -Pran pòz malad ou, moute kabann ou kouche. Lè papa ou va vin wè ou, w'a di l': Tanpri, kite Tama, sè m' lan, vin ban m' manje. Mwen ta renmen pou li pare manje a devan m' pou m' wè l', lèfini pou l' sèvi m' manje a li menm.
6 And so, Amnon lay down, and he began to act as if he were ill. And when the king had come to visit him, Amnon said to the king, “I beg you to let my sister Tamar come to me, and make in my sight two little portions of food, so that I take it from her hand.”
Se konsa Amnon moute kabann li kouche, li pran pòz malad li. Wa David vin wè l'. Amnon di l' konsa: -Tanpri, kite Tama vin pare de ti gato la devan m' lan, lèfini pou l' sèvi m' yo li menm.
7 Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him.”
David voye komisyon bay Tama nan palè a pou l' ale kay Amnon pare manje pou li.
8 And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.
Tama ale vre kay Amnon, li jwenn li kouche sou kabann li. Li pran ti gout farin frans, li pare l', li fè kèk gato pou li devan je l'. Lèfini, li mete yo kwit.
9 And taking what she had cooked, she poured it out, and she set it before him. But he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Send everyone away from me.” And when they had sent everyone away,
Apre sa, li wete yo nan pwelon an devan Amnon. Men, Amnon refize manje. Li di l': -Fè tout moun soti! Lè tout moun fin soti,
10 Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat from your hand.” Therefore, Tamar took the little portions of food that she had made, and she brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
Amnon di Tama konsa: -Pote gato yo nan chanm lan. Se ou menm ki pou sèvi m'. Tama pran gato li te fè yo, li pote yo bay Amnon nan chanm lan.
11 And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “Come lie with me, my sister.”
Antan l'ap lonje gato a ba li, Amnon mete men sou li. Li di l' konsa: -vin kouche avè m' non, sè m'!
12 She answered him: “Do not do so, my brother! Do not force me. For no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not choose to do this senseless act.
Tama di l': -Non, frè m'! Pa fòse m'! Sa pa fèt konsa nan peyi Izrayèl! Pa fè bagay lèd sa a.
13 For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to you.”
Apre sa, mwen p'ap ka gade moun nan je ankò. Ou menm, pou tèt pa ou, w'ap pase pou yonn nan pi move moun nan peyi Izrayèl. Tanpri, pale ak wa a. Mwen sèten li p'ap refize ou marye avè m'.
14 But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.
Men, Amnon pa wè li pa tande, li kenbe l' la. Li te gen plis fòs pase l', li kouche ak li.
15 And Amnon held hatred for her with an exceedingly great hatred, so much so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Amnon said to her, “Rise up, and go away.”
Lèfini, li santi li rayi Tama pou l' mouri. Li vin rayi l' plis pase jan li te renmen l' lan. Li di l': -Mete ou deyò lakay mwen!
16 And she answered him, “This evil is greater, which you are now doing against me in driving me away, than what you did before.” But he was not willing to listen to her.
Tama reponn li: -A non! Mete m' deyò konsa! Sa pi mal ankò pase sa ou sot fè m' la a! Men Amnon pa t' soti pou koute l'.
17 Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind her.”
Li rele gason ki t'ap sèvi l' la, li di l': -Wete fi sa a devan je m'! Mete l' deyò. Lèfini, fèmen pòt la akle dèyè l'.
18 Now she was clothed with an ankle-length robe. For the virgin daughters of the king made use of this kind of garment. And so, his servant cast her out, and he closed the door behind her.
Gason an fè Tama soti deyò, li fèmen pòt la akle dèyè l'. Tama te gen yon rad long ak gwo manch sou li. Se rad konsa pitit wa yo te konn mete sou yo lè yo poko marye.
19 And she sprinkled ashes upon her head, and she tore her ankle-length robe. And placing her hands upon her head, she went forth, walking and crying out.
Li simen sann dife sou tèt li, li chire rad ki te sou li a, li mete de men nan tèt, li pran rele epi li ale.
20 Then her brother Absalom said to her: “Has your brother Amnon lain with you? But now, sister, be quiet. For he is your brother. And you should not afflict your heart because of this matter.” And so, Tamar remained, wasting away in the house of her brother Absalom.
Lè sa a, Absalon, frè l' la, mande l': -Eske Amnon, frè ou la, fè kadejak sou ou? Tanpri, sè m' pa kite sa fatige ou twòp, tande. Se frè ou li ye. Pa di pesonn anyen. Se konsa Tama rete pou kont li kay Absalon, frè l' la. Li te nan gwo lapenn.
21 And when king David had heard about these things, he was deeply grieved. But he was not willing to afflict the spirit of his son Amnon. For he loved him, since he was his firstborn.
Lè wa David vin konn sa ki te pase, li te move. Men, li pa di Amnon anyen, paske se te premye pitit gason l'. Li te renmen l' kou de grenn je nan tèt li.
22 Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.
Absalon vin rayi Amnon pou kadejak li te fè sou Tama, sè li a. Li koupe l' bonjou.
23 Then, after the time of two years, it happened that the sheep of Absalom were being shorn in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.
Dezan apre sa, Absalon t'ap koupe lenn mouton l' yo lavil Baal azò, toupre lavil Efrayim. Li envite tout pitit gason wa yo vin manje.
24 And he went to the king, and he said to him: “Behold, the sheep of your servant are being shorn. I ask that the king, with his servants, may come to his servant.”
li al jwenn wa David, li di l' konsa: -Monwa, mwen pral koupe lenn mouton m' yo. Ou pa ta vle vini ansanm ak tout chèf ou yo lakay mwen?
25 And the king said to Absalom: “Do not, my son, do not choose to ask that we may all come and be a burden to you.” Then, after he urged him, and he had refused to go, he blessed him.
W'a reponn li: -Non, pitit mwen! Se pral twòp traka pou ou si nou tout nou vini. Absalon pèsiste, men wa a pa pran priyè, li voye l' ale ak benediksyon l'.
26 And Absalom said, “If you are not willing to come, I beg you, at least let my brother Amnon come with us.” And the king said to him, “It is not necessary that he go with you.”
Lè sa a Absalon di l': -Men, èske w'ap kite Amnon, frè m' lan, vini ak nou? Wa a reponn li? -Poukisa pou l' ale a?
27 But Absalom pressed him, and so he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king. And Absalom made a feast, like the feast of a king.
Men Absalon sitèlman pèsiste, bout pou bout, David kite Amnon ale ansanm ak tout lòt pitit gason l' yo. Absalon te pare yon gwo fèt tankou si l' t'ap fè l' pou yon wa.
28 Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying: “Observe when Amnon will have become drunk with wine. And when I say to you, ‘Strike and kill him!’ do not be afraid. For it is I who commands you. Be strong and valiant men.”
Epi li bay domestik li yo lòd sa a, li di yo: -Gade byen, lè n'a wè Anmon ak bon gwòg nan tèt li, m'a di nou: Desann Amnon. n'a touye l'. Nou pa bezwen pè, mwen pran tout reskonsablite a sou mwen. Mete gason sou nou. Frape san tranble.
29 Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon his mule and fled.
Se konsa domestik Absalon yo swiv lòd Absalon te ba yo, yo touye Amnon. Lè sa a, tout lòt pitit gason David yo leve, yo moute milèt yo, yo met deyò.
30 And while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”
Yo te sou chemen lakay yo toujou, lè David vin pran nouvèl Absalon touye dènye pitit gason li yo, pa gen yonn ki chape.
31 And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near him, tore their garments.
Wa a leve kanpe, li chire rad ki te sou li, li lage kò l' atè. Tout moun ki te avèk wa a chire rad sou yo tou.
32 But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
Men Jonabad, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David la, di l': -Monwa, yo pa touye tout pitit gason ou yo non. Se Amnon ase ki mouri, paske Absalon te gen lide nan tèt li pou l' te fè sa depi lè Amnon te fè kadejak sou Tama, sè l' la.
33 Now therefore, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ For only Amnon is dead.”
Koulye a, monwa, ou pa bezwen koute moun k'ap vin di ou tout pitit gason ou yo mouri. Se Amnon ase yo touye.
34 Now Absalom fled. And the young man keeping watch, lifted up his eyes and gazed out. And behold, many people were arriving along a remote road at the side of the mountain.
Lè sa a Absalon te gen tan kraze rak. Sòlda ki te faksyonnè a wè yon foul moun ki t'ap kouri desann ti pant sou chemen lavil Owonayim lan. li al jwenn wa a, li di l' sa li wè.
35 And Jonadab said to the king: “Behold, the sons of the king are here. In accord with the word of your servant, so it has happened.”
Jonabad di wa a konsa: -Men sa m' t'ap di ou la. Se pitit gason ou yo k'ap vini.
36 And when he had ceased speaking, the sons of the king also appeared. And entering, they lifted up their voice, and they wept. And the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceedingly great weeping.
Fini li fin di sa, pitit gason David yo rive. Yo pete rele. Wa a pran rele ansanm ak tout chèf li yo. Yo rele kont rele yo.
37 But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.
Absalon menm kraze rak, li al kay Talmayi, pitit gason Amiyoud la, ki te wa lavil Gechou a. David menm te nan gwo lapenn pandan kèk jou pou lanmò Amnon.
38 Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for three years.
Absalon rete pase twazan lavil Gechou kote li te kouri al kache a.
39 And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.
Lè wa David fin konsole apre lanmò Amnon, li vin anvi wè Absalon.
