< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.
Yeroo tokko Amnoon ilmi Daawit Taamaarin jaallate; isheen akka malee bareedduu, obboleettii Abesaaloom ilma Daawit sanaa turte.
2 And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.
Amnoon sababii jaalala obboleettii isaa Taamaariitiif akka malee dhiphatee dhibame; sababii isheen durba turteef Amnoon waan waanuma tokko illee ishee gochuu dandaʼu hin seene.
3 Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:
Amnoon michuu akka malee jalʼaa kan Yoonaadaab jedhamu tokko qaba ture; Yoonaadaab ilma Shimeʼaa obboleessa Daawit.
4 And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.
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.
5 And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.
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.
6 So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.
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.
7 Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
Daawitis gara manaatti Taamaaritti nama ergee, “Gara mana obboleessa kee Amnoon dhaqiitii waan inni nyaatu qopheessiif” jedhe.
8 And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.
Kanaafuu Taamaar kaatee gara mana obboleessa ishee Amnoon kan ciisee ture sanaa dhaqxe. Daakuu xinnoo ishee fuutee bukeessitee fuula isaa duratti tolchite.
9 And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,
Ergasiis buddeena tolchite sana eelee irraa fuutee dhiʼeessiteef; inni garuu nyaachuu dide. Amnoon, “Nama hunda narraa baasaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namni hundi isa biraa baʼe.
10 Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.
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.
11 And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
Inni garuu yommuu isheen nyaata dhiʼeessiteefitti humnaan ishee qabatee, “Yaa obboleettii ko, kottuu na wajjin ciisi” jedheen.
12 She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.
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.
13 For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.
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.”
14 But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
Inni garuu ishee dhagaʼuu dide; waan ishee caalaa jabaa taʼeefis humnaan ishee gudeede.
15 Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.
Ergasii Amnoon jibba guddaa ishee jibbe; dhugumaan hamma dur ishee jaallate caalaa ishee jibbe. Amnoonis, “Kaʼiitii baʼii deemi!” isheen jedhe.
16 She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:
Isheen immoo, “Hin taʼu! Na ariʼuun kee yakka ati duraan natti hojjette caalaa hammaata” jetteen. Inni garuu ishee dhagaʼuu dide.
17 But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.
Tajaajilaa ofii isaas waamee, “Dubartii kana narraa baasiitii balbala itti cufi” jedheen.
18 And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.
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.
19 And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.
Taamaaris mataa isheetti daaraa firfirfattee wandaboo ishee dheeraa faayawwaniin miidhagfame sana tarsaafte. Harka ishees mataa irra kaaʼattee sagalee ol fudhattee booʼaa deemte.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.
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.
21 And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.
Daawit mootichi yommuu waan kana hunda dhagaʼetti baayʼee aare.
22 But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.
Abesaaloom dubbii tolaa yookaan hamaa tokko illee Amnoonitti hin dubbanne; Abesaaloom sababii inni obboleettii isaa Taamaarin salphiseef akka malee Amnoonin jibbee ture.
23 And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:
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.
24 And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.
Abesaaloomis gara mootichaa dhaqee, “Namoonni hoolota garbicha keetii irraa rifeensa haadan dhufaniiru. Maaloo mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa garbicha kee wajjin haa deeman” jedhee kadhate.
25 And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.
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.
26 And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.
Abesaaloomis, “Yoo taʼuu baate, maaloo obboleessi koo Amnoon nu wajjin haa deemu” jedhe. Mootichi immoo, “Inni maaliif si wajjin deema?” jedhee gaafate.
27 But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.
Abesaaloom garuu jabeessee isa kadhate; kanaafuu inni Amnoonii fi ilmaan mootichaa kaan isa wajjin erge.
28 And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.
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.”
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.
Kanaafuu namoonni Abesaaloom waanuma Abesaaloom isaan ajaje sana Amnoonitti hojjetan. Ilmaan mootichaa hundinuus kaʼanii gaangolii isaanii yaabbatanii baqatan.
30 And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
Utuu isaan karaa irra jiranuu oduun, “Abesaaloom ilmaan mootichaa hunda fixeera; tokkoon isaanii iyyuu hin hafne” jedhu Daawit qaqqabe.
31 Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.
Mootichis ol kaʼee uffata isaa tarsaasee lafa ciise; tajaajiltoonni isaa kanneen isa bira dhadhaabatanii turan hundinuus uffata isaanii tatarsaasan.
32 But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.
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.
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.
Gooftaan koo mootichi waaʼee oduu ilmaan mootichaa hundi ajjeefamaniiru jedhu sanaa hin yaaddaʼin; Amnoon qofatu duʼe.”
34 But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.
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.
35 And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
Yoonaadaabis mootichaan, “Kunoo, ilmaan mootichaa dhufanii jiru; wanni kun akkuma garbichi kee jedhe taʼe” jedhe.
36 And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.
Akkuma inni dubbatee fixateen ilmaan mootichaa sagalee guddaadhaan booʼaa ol galan. Mootichii fi tajaajiltoonni isaa hundinuus hiqqifatanii booʼan.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.
Abesaaloom garuu baqatee gara ilma Amiihuud, gara Talmaay mooticha Geshuur sanaa dhaqe. Daawit immoo guyyaa hunda ilma isaatiif ni booʼa ture.
38 And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.
Abesaaloom erga baqatee Geshuur dhaqee booddee waggaa sadii achi ture.
39 And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
Mootichis duʼa Amnoon irraa jajjabaannaan gara Abesaaloom dhaquuf garaan isaa kakaʼe.
