2 Samuel 13
1 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.
Ikawa baada ya hayo, Amnoni mwana wa Daudi akampenda Tamari, umbu lake Absalomu mwana wa Daudi, ambaye alikuwa mzuri wa sura.
2 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.
Amnoni akasumbuka sana kuhusu Tamari hata akaugua, kwa kuwa Tamari alikuwa bikira, na ilionekana kwamba haiwezekani Amnoni kumfanyia jambo lolote.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name [was] Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab [was] a very subtil man.
Basi Amnoni alikuwa na rafiki jina lake Yonadabu mwana wa Shimea, nduguye Daudi. Yonadabu alikuwa mtu wa hila nyingi sana.
4 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.
Akamuuliza Amnoni, “Wewe ni mtoto wa mfalme; kwa nini siku baada ya siku unaonekana kukonda? Hutaniambia?” Amnoni akamwambia, “Ninampenda Tamari, dada yake Absalomu ndugu yangu.”
5 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.
Yonadabu akamwambia, “Nenda ukalale kitandani na ujifanye kuwa mgonjwa. Baba yako atakapokuja kukuona mwambie, ‘Ningependa Tamari dada yangu aje kunipatia chochote ili nile. Tafadhali mruhusu aje na kuniandalia chakula mbele yangu ningali ninamwona, ili nipate kula kutoka mkononi mwake.’”
6 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.
Kwa hiyo Amnoni akalala kitandani kujifanya mgonjwa. Mfalme alipokuja kumwona, Amnoni akamwambia, “Ningependa dada yangu Tamari aje na kuniandalia mikate maalum mbele yangu, ili nipate kula toka mkononi mwake.”
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat.
Daudi akampelekea Tamari ujumbe huko kwenye jumba la kifalme, kusema: “Nenda katika nyumba ya ndugu yako Amnoni ukamwandalie chakula.”
8 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.
Kwa hiyo Tamari akaenda nyumbani kwa nduguye Amnoni, ndugu ambaye alikuwa amelala. Tamari akachukua unga uliotiwa chachu akaukanda, akaiandaa mikate mbele yake na kuioka.
9 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.
Tamari akaondoa mikate kwenye kikaango ili ampatie Amnoni, lakini akakataa kula. Amnoni akamwambia, “Mtoe nje kila mtu aliyeko hapa.” Kwa hiyo kila mmoja akaondoka.
10 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.
Ndipo Amnoni akamwambia Tamari, “Leta mkate hapa ndani ya chumba changu ili nipate kula kutoka mkononi mwako.” Basi Tamari akachukua mikate aliyoiandaa na kumletea Amnoni ndugu yake ndani ya chumba chake.
11 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.
Lakini alipompelekea ili ale, akamkamata kwa nguvu na kumwambia, “Njoo ulale nami, dada yangu.”
12 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.
Akamwambia, “Usifanye hivyo, ndugu yangu! Usinitende jeuri! Jambo la namna hii halistahili kufanyika katika Israeli! Usitende jambo hili ovu.
13 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.
Kwa upande wangu je, itakuwaje? Nitaipeleka wapi aibu yangu? Pia kwa upande wako, itakuwaje? Utakuwa kama mmoja wa wapumbavu waovu katika Israeli. Tafadhali zungumza na mfalme; hatakukatalia wewe kunioa,”
14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
Lakini Amnoni akakataa kumsikiliza, na kwa kuwa alikuwa na nguvu kuliko Tamari, akamtenda jeuri.
15 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.
Kisha Amnoni akamchukia Tamari, kwa machukio makuu sana. Kwa kweli, Amnoni alimchukia kuliko alivyokuwa amempenda. Amnoni akamwambia, “Inuka na utoke nje!”
16 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.
Tamari akamwambia, “Hapana! Kunifukuza itakuwa vibaya zaidi kuliko yale uliyonitendea.” Lakini Amnoni akakataa kumsikiliza.
17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.
Akamwita mtumishi wake mahsusi na kumwambia, “Mtoe huyu mwanamke hapa na ufunge mlango nyuma yake.”
18 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.
Kwa hiyo, mtumishi wake akamtoa nje na kufunga mlango nyuma yake. Tamari alikuwa amevaa joho lililopambwa vizuri, kwa maana lilikuwa aina ya mavazi yaliyovaliwa na binti za mfalme waliokuwa mabikira.
19 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.
Tamari akajitia majivu kichwani mwake na kurarua lile joho alilokuwa amevaa. Akaweka mkono wake kichwani, akaenda zake akilia kwa sauti.
20 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.
Absalomu nduguye akamuuliza, “Je, huyo Amnoni ndugu yako, amekutana nawe kimwili? Sasa nyamaza umbu langu, yeye ni ndugu yako. Usilitie jambo hili moyoni.” Naye Tamari akaishi nyumbani kwa Absalomu nduguye, akiwa mwanamke mwenye huzuni.
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
Mfalme Daudi aliposikia mambo haya yote, akakasirika sana.
22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalomu hakusema neno lolote na Amnoni, likiwa zuri au baya, kwa kuwa alimchukia Amnoni kwa sababu alikuwa amemtia aibu Tamari, dada yake.
23 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.
Miaka miwili baadaye, wakati wakata manyoya ya kondoo wa Absalomu walipokuwa huko Baal-Hasori karibu na mpaka wa Efraimu, alialika wana wote wa mfalme kuja huko.
24 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.
Absalomu akaenda kwa mfalme na kumwambia, “Mtumishi wako ninao wakata manyoya ya kondoo waliokuja. Tafadhali, je, mfalme na maafisa wake wanaweza kuungana nami?”
25 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.
Mfalme akajibu, “La hasha, mwanangu si lazima sisi sote tuje, tutakuwa tu mzigo kwako.” Ingawa Absalomu alimsihi sana, mfalme alikataa kwenda, lakini alimbariki.
26 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?
Basi Absalomu akasema, “Kama hutakuja, tafadhali mruhusu ndugu yangu Amnoni twende pamoja naye.” Mfalme akamuuliza, “Kwa nini aende pamoja nawe?”
27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
Lakini Absalomu alimsihi, kwa hiyo mfalme akamtuma Amnoni pamoja na wana wengine wa mfalme waliobaki.
28 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.
Absalomu aliagiza watu wake, “Sikilizeni! Wakati Amnoni atakapokuwa amekunywa mvinyo na kulewa sana nami nikiwaambia, ‘Mpigeni Amnoni,’ basi muueni. Msiogope. Je, si mimi niliyewapa amri hii? Kuweni hodari na wenye ushujaa.”
29 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.
Kwa hiyo watu wa Absalomu wakamtendea Amnoni kama vile Absalomu alivyokuwa amewaagiza. Ndipo wana wote wa mfalme wakainuka, wakapanda nyumbu zao, wakakimbia.
30 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.
Wakati wakiwa njiani, taarifa ilimjia Daudi, kusema: “Absalomu amewaua wana wote wa mfalme; hakuna hata mmoja aliyesalia.”
31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
Mfalme akasimama, akararua nguo zake, akalala chini ardhini; nao watumishi wake wote wakasimama kando yake na nguo zao zikiwa zimeraruliwa.
32 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.
Lakini Yonadabu mwana wa Shimea, nduguye Daudi, akasema, “Bwana wangu asifikiri kwamba wamewaua wana wote wa mfalme; ni Amnoni peke yake ndiye alikufa. Hili limekuwa kusudi la moyo wa Absalomu tangu siku ile Amnoni alipomtendea jeuri Tamari, dada yake.
33 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.
Mfalme bwana wangu asisumbuliwe na taarifa kwamba wamewaua wana wote wa mfalme. Ni Amnoni peke yake aliyekufa.”
34 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.
Wakati huo, Absalomu akawa amekimbia. Basi mlinzi akaangalia, naye akaona watu wengi barabarani magharibi yake, wakishuka kutoka upande wa kilima. Mlinzi akaenda akamwambia mfalme, “Naona watu wakitokea upande wa Horonaimu, huko upande wa kilimani.”
35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
Yonadabu akamwambia mfalme, “Tazama, wana wa mfalme wako hapa; imekuwa kama vile mtumishi wako alivyosema.”
36 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.
Mara alipomaliza kusema, wana wa mfalme wakaingia ndani wakiomboleza kwa makelele. Pia mfalme na watumishi wake wote wakalia sana kwa uchungu.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.
Absalomu akakimbia na kwenda kwa Talmai mwana wa Amihudi, mfalme wa Geshuri. Lakini Mfalme Daudi akaomboleza kwa ajili ya mwanawe kila siku.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Baada ya Absalomu kukimbia na kwenda Geshuri, akakaa huko miaka mitatu.
39 And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Roho ya Mfalme Daudi ikatamani kumwendea Absalomu, kwa maana mfalme alikuwa amefarijika kuhusu kifo cha Amnoni.
