2 Samuel 13
1 It 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.
Te phoeiah om tih David capa Absalom tah a ngannu sakthen om. Anih ming tah Tamar tih David capa Amnon loh a lungnah.
2 Amnon 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.
A ngannu Tamar kong ah Amnon te tloh la a yuek. Anih te a oila pueng dongah khat khat a saii ham Amnon mik ah rhaisang.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother. Now Jonadab was very crafty.
Te vaengah David maya Shimeah capa, a ming ah Jonadab tah Amnon kah a paya la om. Jonadab tah bahoeng aka cueih hlang la om.
4 He 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."
Te dongah anih te, “Ba aih lae mincang bal, mincang bal nang manghai capa he na tattloel aih. Kai taengah na thui mahpawt a?” a ti nah. Te daengah Amnon loh, Ka manuca Absalom ngannu Tamar ka ngaih,” a ti nah.
5 Jonadab said to him, "Lie 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.'"
Te dongah anih te Jehonadab loh, “Na thingkong dongah satlo bangla yalh. Nang te sawt hamla na pa ha pawk vaengah amah taengah, 'Ka ngannu Tamar ha pawk laeh vetih kai buh n'tuh lah mako. Ka mikhmuh ah buhmaeh a saii te ka hmu dae eh. Te daengah ni a kut dongkah ka caak eh?,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
6 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."
Amnon te satlo bangla yalh toengloeng tih anih te sawt hamla manghai te ha pawk. Te vaengah Amnon loh manghai taengah, “Ka ngannu Tamar ha pawk laeh saeh lamtah ka mikhmuh ah vaidam panit ah saii saeh. Te daengah ni anih kut lamkah te ka caak eh?,” a ti nah.
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Go now to your brother Amnon and prepare food for him."
Te dongah David loh Tamar te a im la a tah tih, “Na nganpa Amnon im la cet lamtah anih ham buhmaeh saii pah laeh,” a ti nah.
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes while he watched, and baked the cakes.
Tamar te a nganpa Amnon im la a caeh vaengah anih te ana yalh pah. Vaidamtlam te a loh tih a duep, a duep phoeiah a mikhmuh ah a saii pah. Te phoeiah vaidam te a thong pah.
9 She 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.
Thi-am te a loh tih a mikhmh ah a poep pah hatah caak hamla a aal. Te phoeiah Amnon loh, “Ka taeng lamkah hlang he boeih tueih uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlang boeih te anih taeng lamloh nong uh.
10 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.
Te phoeiah Amnon loh Tamar te, “Imkhui la buhmaeh hang khuen lamtah na kut dongah ka ca eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah vaidam a saii te Tamar loh a loh tih imkhui kah a nganpa Amnon taengla a kun puei.
11 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."
A caak ham a taengah a tawn pah vaengah tah amah te vik a tuuk tih, “Ka ngannu halo lamtah kamah neh yalh sih,” a ti nah.
12 She answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me. For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not do this folly.
Tedae anih te, “Ka nganpa aw te tlam moenih, kai m'poeih boeh, Israel khuiah te bang te a saii noek moenih. Boethaehalang he saii boeh.
13 I, 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."
Kai he kamah kah kokhahnah neh melam ka caeh eh. Namah khaw Israel khuiah hlang ang boeiloeih bangla na om ve. Manghai taengah thui kanoek lamtah nang taengah tah kai khaw n'hloh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
14 However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she was, he overpowered her and raped her.
Tedae a ol te yaak ngaih pawh. A ngannu te rhap a kop tih a yalh puei.
15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Get up, go away."
Te phoeiah tah anih te Amnon loh lat a hnoel tih a hmuhuetnah bahoeng a nah pah. A thiinah vaengkah a hmuhuetnah te a lungnah vaengkah lungnah lakah nah. Te dongah anih te Amnon loh, “Thoo, cet laeh,” a ti nah.
16 And Tamar said to him, "Don't, my brother, for this latter evil in sending me away is greater than the former thing that you did to me." But he would not listen to her.
Amnon te, “He lakah a tloe la aka len boethae kah a kong a mai he a om moenih. Kai nan saii tih nan haek te,” a ti nah. Tedae anih ol te yaak ngaih voel pawh.
17 Then he called the young man who served him, and said, "Send this one away from me, and bolt the door after her."
Te dongah amah aka khut a taengca te, “Anih te kai taeng lamloh kawtpoeng la tueih uh lamtah anih hnukah thohkhaih te kalh laeh,” a ti nah.
18 Now she was wearing an ornamented robe, for this was what the king's virgin daughters used to wear. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
Te vaengah a pum dongah pendum angkidung a bai. Te bang te manghai canu rhoek loh oila kah hnikul la a bai uh. Amnon aka khut loh Tamar te vongvoel la a thak tih a hnukah thohkhaih te kalh.
19 Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her ornamented robe that she wore. And she put her hand on her head and went away, crying aloud as she went.
Tamar loh a lu dongah hmaiphu a phul tih a pum dongkah pendum angkidung khaw a phen. Te phoeiah a kut te a lu dongah a pingpoei tih a caeh, caeh doeah rhap.
20 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.
Te dongah anih te a nganpa Absalom loh, “Na nganpa Amnon a nang taengah aka om? Ka ngannu na hilphah laeh anih a nang nganpa, he olka dongah na lungbuei khueh boeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Tamar tah a nganpa Absalom im ah kho a sak tih pong van.
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry. But he did not inflict pain on the spirit of his son Amnon, because he loved him, for he was his firstborn.
Tedae he rhoek kah olka boeih te manghai David loh a yaak vaengah amah khaw muep sai coeng.
22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had violated his sister Tamar.
A ngannu Tamar a poeih dongkah olka dongah Absalom loh Amnon te a hmuhuet tih a thae a then akhaw Absalom loh Amnon te voek pawh.
23 It happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
A kum khohnin a pha vaengah Ephraim taengkah Baalhazor ah Absalom ham mul vok a saii uh tih manghai ca rhoek boeih te Absalom loh a khue.
24 Absalom came to the king, and said, "See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant."
Te dongah Absalom te manghai taengla kun tih, “Na sal ham mul aka vo rhoek cet uh pawn ni ke, manghai namah neh, na sal neh a sal rhoek te ta,” a ti nah.
25 The king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." But he pleaded with him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
Manghai loh Absalom te, “Ka capa te tlam moenih, mamih boeih n'cet tarha mahpawh, te daengah ni namah te n'nan pawt eh?,” a ti nah. A taengah a cahoeh ngawn dae paan pah ham tah huem pawt tih anih te yoethen a paek.
26 Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." The king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"
Absalom loh, “Te pawt atah ka maya Amnon tah kaimih taengah m'paan mai mako,” a ti nah. Tedae amah te manghai loh, “Balae tih nang te m'paan eh?,” a ti nah.
27 But Absalom pleaded with him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom prepared a feast like a king's feast.
Tedae anih te Absalom loh a cahoeh dongah Amnon neh manghai capa rhoek boeih te a taengla a tueih pah.
28 And 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. Haven't I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant."
Te vaengah Absalom loh a tueihyoeih rhoek te a uen tih, “Misurtui lamloh Amnon kah lungbuei a umya vaengah hmu uh laeh, nangmih taengah, 'Amnon te ngawn uh lamtah duek sak uh, anih te rhih uh boeh, nangmih te kang uen pawt nim? Ning uh lamtah tatthai capa bangla om uh,’ ka ti,” a ti nah.
29 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.
Te dongah Absalom kah a uen bangla Amnon te Absalom kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh a saii uh. Te dongah manghai capa rhoek tah boeih thoo uh tih a muli-marhang dongah rhip ngol uh tih rhaelrham uh.
30 It 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."
Amih te a longpueng uh vaengah olthang tah David taengla pawk coeng tih, “Absalom loh manghai capa rhoek te boeih a ngawn tih amih te pakhat khaw a hlun moenih,” a ti nah.
31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
Te dongah manghai te thoo tih a himbai te a phen tih lai dongah yalh. Te vaengah a sal aka pai rhoek boeih long khaw himbai te a phen uh.
32 Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered, "Do not let my lord the king 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.
Tedae David maya Shimeah capa Jonadab loh a doo tih, “Ka boeipa loh manghai capa camoe rhoek la rhenten thui boeh. Amnon amah bueng ni a ngawn uh. A ngannu Tamar te a poeih pah hnin lamloh anih te Absalom loh a ka dongah a ngawn tangtae la a khueh coeng.
33 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 Amnon only is dead."
Te dongah manghai capa rhoek boeih duek coeng a ti ol te ka boeipa manghai loh a lungbuei ah khueh boel saeh. Amnon amah bueng ni a duek,” a ti nah.
34 But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and he saw many men coming on the road behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent. And the watchman came and told the king, and said, "I have seen many men coming from the Horonan road by the side of the mountain."
Absalom a yong vaengah rhaltawt camoe te a mik, mik ah a dan. Te vaengah anih hnukah tlang hlaep longpuei ah aka cet pilnam te yet te kak a hmuh.
35 Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming. It is as your servant said."
Te dongah Jonadab loh manghai taengah, “Manghai capa rhoek ha pawk uh coeng ke, na sal kah ol bangla om tangkhuet,” a ti nah.
36 It happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that look, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
A thui te a khah van neh manghai capa rhoek te pahoi ha pawk uh. Te vaengah a ol a huel uh tih rhap uh. Te dongah manghai neh a sal rhoek boeih khaw rhahnah neh a nah la hluk hluk rhap uh.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
Absalom te yong tih Geshur manghai Ammihud capa Talmai taengla cet. Tedae a capa dongah hnin takuem nguekcoi.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Absalom te yong tih Geshuri la aka cet te kum thum pahoi om.
39 And the spirit of the king longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
Tedae David manghai tah Amnon a duek dongah te hal tih Absalom taengla a caeh ham khaw a toeng.
