2 Samuel 13
1 After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
Devit e capa Absalom ni a tawncanu a meikahawi poung e buet touh a tawn. A min teh Tamar doeh. Devit e a capa Amnon ni ahni hah a ngai.
2 Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
Amnon teh Tamar a ngai lawi a takpatawkhai. Ahni teh tanglakacuem doeh. Ahni koevah bangpatet e hno a sak e hai Amnon hanelah coung thai hoeh.
3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
Hatei, Amnon ni hui a tawn, a min teh Jonadab doeh. Ahni teh Devit e hmau Shimeah capa doeh. Jonadab teh huenghai kaawm e lah ao.
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.”
Nang teh siangpahrang e capa lah na o eiteh, hnin touh hnukkhu hnin touh bangkongmaw na kamsoe. Kai koe na dei ngai han na ou telah atipouh. Amnon ni ka nawngha Absalom e a tawncanu Tamar ka lungpataw lawi doeh telah atipouh.
5 Jonadab 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 prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’”
Jonadab ni vah, na ikhun dawk ka pataw lah kâsak loe. Na pa ni na khet navah, ka tawncanu kai koe tho naseh. Vaiyei ka ca hane na poe naseh. Ahni ni a thawng e cakawi kai ni ka hmu vaiteh, a kut dawk e ka ca hanelah ka hmalah thawng naseh na ti pouh han telah pouknae a poe.
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 teh pataw lah a kâsak teh a yan. Siangpahrang ni a khet navah Amnon ni siangpahrang koevah, pahren lahoi ka tawncanu hi tho sak nateh ka hmaitung vah vaiyei a phen kahni tabang na sak pouh seh, a kut dawk e ka ca han telah atipouh.
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
Devit ni Tamar koevah, na thangroi Amnon im vah cet nateh, ca hane kawi thawng pouh telah tami a patoun.
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
Tamar teh Amnon im a cei. Ahni teh ikhun dawk a yan. A kanawk e vaiyei hah a hmaitung vah a karê.
9 She took the pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out from him.
Ailo dawk hoi a sin teh a hmalah a pâtoum pouh. Hatei cat pouh ngai hoeh. Amnon ni taminaw be tâcawt sak ei telah ati dawkvah taminaw teh a tâco awh.
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.
Amnon ni Tamar koevah, na kut dawk e ka ca hanelah ikhun koe thokhai telah atipouh. Tamar ni vaiyei phen a sin teh a thangroi Amnon e irakhan thung a ceikhai.
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!”
Amnon ca hanelah a sin pouh navah a kut a kuet pouh teh ka tawncanu kai hoi ip roi sei atipouh.
12 She 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!
Tamar ni telah nahoeh ka thangroi, kai hah na pacekpahlek hanh. Isarel miphun dawk het patet e hno sak kawi nahoeh. Kahawihoeh e hno sak hanh.
13 As for me, 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.”
Na sak pawiteh kayanae koehoi bangtelamaw hlout thai han vaw. Nang hai Isarel miphunnaw dawk tamipathu lah doeh na awm ti. Hatdawkvah, siangpahrang koe dei pouh. Kangek mahoeh mue telah atipouh.
14 However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
Hatei, ahni ni a lawk ngai pouh hoeh, a tawncanu hlak a tha ao dawkvah a tapam teh a ikhai.
15 Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly 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!”
Hahoi, Amnon ni a tawncanu hah bout a hmuhma, ahmaloe a lungpatawnae hlak a hmuhmanae hoe a len. Amnon ni thaw nateh cet leih atipouh.
16 She 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.
A tawncanu ni vah telah nahoeh. Het patetlah hrumhram na hrek e kai na yonkhai e hlak atu na hrek e doeh yonnae hoe kalen telah ati. Ammon ni noutna pouh hoeh.
17 Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”
A san buet touh a kaw teh, hete napui heh pâlei leih. Tho taren sin haw atipouh.
18 She had a garment of various colours on her, for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her.
Tanglakacuem siangpahrang canu ni ouk a khohna e patetlah a em kaawm e angkidung a kho. A san ni a hrek teh tho king a taren sin.
19 Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
Tamar ni hraba a kâphuen teh a hni ka dung a em kaawm e koung a phi. A lû dawk a kut a toung teh a cei laihoi pueng hoi a khuika.
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. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
A thangroi Absalom ni, na hmau Amnon ni na pacekpahlek na maw. Lawkkamuem lah awmh. Ahni teh na thangroi doeh. Hete hni heh na lungthung vah thouk pouk hanh, telah atipouh. Hottelah Tamar teh a thangroi Absalom im vah, oru laihoi ao.
21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
Hateiteh, siangpahrang Devit niteh, hote hno a thai navah, a lung puenghoi a khuek.
22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalom ni a hmaunawngha Amnon koe banghai dei hane ngai hoeh. A tawncanu a pacekpahlek dawkvah, Absalom ni Amnon a maithoe.
23 After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
Kum hni touh a kuep hnukkhu Absalom teh Ephraim kho teng Baalhazor kho hoi, tu muen ngaw saknae pawi koe siangpahrang e canaw pueng a coun.
24 Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”
Absalom teh siangpahrang koe a cei teh, na san ni tu muen a ngaw pouh. Na sannaw kaw nateh, ka sannaw koe nama hoi rei cet awh telah atipouh.
25 The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
Siangpahrang ni Absalom koevah, telah nahoeh, ka capa abuemlahoi he ka cet awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmuenri phu lah awm payon vaih telah ati. Absalom ni a coun eiteh, cet ngai hoeh. Yawhawinae hah a poe.
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 ni hottelah pawiteh, ka nawngha Amnon hateh kaimouh koe tho van seh telah atipouh navah, siangpahrang ni bangkongmaw khuet a cei han telah atipouh.
27 But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
Hateiteh, Absalom ni Amnon hoi siangpahrang e a canaw hah cei hanelah bout a coun.
28 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. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
Absalom ni a sannaw hah khenhaw! Amnon teh misurtui nei hoi a nawm lahun navah, Amnon hah thet awh ka ti navah na thei awh han. Taket awh hanh. Kâ na poe awh toe nahoehmaw. Tarankahawilah awm awh telah lawk a thui.
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.
Hottelah Absalom e a sannaw ni Amnon dawk Absalom ni kâ a poe e patetlah a sak awh. Siangpahrang e a canaw a thaw awh teh amamae la dawk lengkaleng a kâcui awh teh a yawng awh.
30 While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!”
Ahnimanaw a pha hoehnahlan, aloukenaw a tho awh teh, Absalom ni, siangpahrang e a canaw he a thei toe, buet touh hai hlung hoeh telah Devit koe a thaisak awh.
31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
Siangpahrang ni a thaw teh, a hni hah a ravei teh talai dawk a kamlei. A sannaw ni hai a hni a ravei awh teh a teng vah a kangdue awh.
32 Jonadab 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.
Devit e a hmau Shimeah capa Jonadab ni, ka bawipa ni siangpahrang e a canaw heh a thei tie yuem hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kadout e teh Amnon dueng doeh. A tawncanu Tamar pacekpahleknae koehoi hete hno heh Absalom ni kâ a poe e patetlah sut pouk e lah ao toe.
33 Now 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 only Amnon is dead.”
Hatdawkvah, ka bawipa siangpahrang e a canaw heh a due telah pouk hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kadout e teh Amnon dueng doeh telah a ti.
34 But 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.
Absalom teh a yawng. Ramveng ni a radoung teh a khet nah, ahnie a hnuklah monhlep lae lam dawk ka cet e tami moikapap a hmu.
35 Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
Jonadab ni siangpahrang capanaw a tho toe, na san ni a dei e patetlah doeh ao telah atipouh.
36 As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
Siangpahrang e a canaw teh a tho awh teh kacaipounglah a ka awh. Siangpahrang hai a sannaw hoi kacaipoung a khuika awh.
37 But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
Hatei Absalom a yawng teh Geshur siangpahrang Ammihud capa Talmai koelah a cei. Devit ni hnintangkuem a capa hah a khui.
38 So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Absalom teh Geshur koelah a yawng teh kum thum touh hawvah ao.
39 King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
Hahoi siangpahrang Devit ni Absalom koe cei hanelah dikdik a doun. Amnon due e dawk te, a lung yo a kâpahawi toe.
