2 Samuela 13
1 Pea hili eni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe ʻia ʻApisalomi ko e foha ʻo Tevita, ʻae tuofefine naʻe hoihoifua, pea ko Tamaa ʻa hono hingoa; pea naʻe mamana kiate ia ʻa ʻAmanoni ko e foha ʻo Tevita.
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.
2 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene feinga mamahi ʻa ʻAmanoni, naʻa ne hoko ʻo mahakiʻia koeʻuhi ko hono tuofefine ko Tamaa; he ko e tāupoʻou ia; pea ko e meʻa fifilingataʻa kia ʻAmanoni haʻane fai ha meʻa kiate ia.
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.
3 Ka naʻe ai ʻae kaumeʻa ʻa ʻAmanoni, naʻe hingoa ko Sonatapi, ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e kāinga ʻo Tevita: pea ko e tangata kākā ʻaupito ʻa Sonatapi.
But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
4 Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e foha koe ʻoe tuʻi, pea ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ho tutue ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē? ʻIkai te ke tala mai kiate au?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻofa kia Tamaa, ko e tuofefine ʻo ʻApisalomi ko hoku tokoua.”
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.
5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sonatapi kiate ia, “Tokoto hifo koe ki ho mohenga, pea ke pehē ʻoku ke mahaki: pea ʻoka haʻu hoʻo tamai ke mamata kiate koe, te ke pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke haʻu ʻa hoku tuofefine ko Tamaa, ke ne ʻomi ʻeku meʻakai, pea ne teuteu ʻeku meʻakai ʻi hoku ʻao, koeʻuhi ke u mamata ki ai, pea kai ia mei hono nima.’”
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.
6 Ko ia naʻe tokoto ai ʻa ʻAmanoni, ʻo ne pehē kuo ne mahaki: pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻae tuʻi ke mamata kiate ia, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke haʻu ʻa Tamaa ko hoku tuofefine, ke ne ngaohi ha foʻi mā ʻe ua ʻi hoku ʻao, koeʻuhi ke u kai ia mei hono nima.”
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.
7 Pea naʻe fekau ai ʻe Tevita ki he fale ʻo Tamaa, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu leva ni ki he fale ʻo ʻAmanoni ko ho tuongaʻane, pea teuteu haʻane meʻakai.”
Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat.
8 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Tamaa ki he fale ʻo ʻAmanoni ko hono tuongaʻane; ka kuo tokoto hifo ia. Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae mahoaʻa, pea ne natu ia, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā ʻi hono ʻao, pea naʻa ne taʻo ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā.
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.
9 Pea naʻa ne toʻo mai ha ipu ʻo ne lilingi ia ʻi hono ʻao: ka naʻe ʻikai loto ia ke kai. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni, “Tuku kituʻa ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē meiate au.” Pea naʻa nau ʻalu kotoa pē kituʻa meiate ia.
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.
10 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni kia Tamaa, “ʻOmi ʻae meʻakai ki loto fale, koeʻuhi ke u kai ia mei ho nima.” Pea naʻe hiki ʻe Tamaa ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki loto fale kia ʻAmanoni ko hono tuongaʻane.
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.
11 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻomi ia kiate ia ke ne kai, naʻa ne puke ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Haʻu hoku tuofefine ke ta mohe mo au.”
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.
12 Pea naʻa ne pehēange ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻikai, ʻa hoku tuongaʻane, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaaʻi au; he ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke fai ha meʻa pehē ʻi ʻIsileli: ʻoua naʻa ke fai ʻae vale ni.
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.
13 Pea ko au, te u tuku ke ʻalu ki fē ʻa hoku fakamā? Pea ko koe, te ke hangē koe ko ha taha ʻoe kau vale ʻi ʻIsileli. Ko ia foki, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lea ki he tuʻi; he koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi au meiate koe.”
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.
14 Ka neongo eni naʻe ʻikai fie tokanga ia ki heʻene lea: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi ʻiate ia, naʻa ne tohotohoʻi ia, pea mohe mo ia.
Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
15 Pea hili ia naʻe fehiʻa ʻaupito kiate ia ʻa ʻAmanoni; ko ia naʻe lahi hake ai ʻae fehiʻa naʻa ne fehiʻa ʻaki kiate ia, ʻi he ʻofa ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofa ai kiate ia. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAmanoni kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu.”
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.
16 Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai hano ʻuhinga: ʻoku lahi hake ʻae kovi ni ʻo hoʻo fekauʻi au ke ʻalu, ʻi he meʻa ʻe taha kuo ke fai kiate au. Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fanongo ia kiate ia.”
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.
17 Pea naʻa ne toki ui ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻaia naʻe talifekau kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapusi atu leva ʻa e [fefine ]ni meiate au, pea songo ʻae matapā kiate ia.”
Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
18 Pea naʻe fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kofu pulepule: he ko e anga ia ʻoe kofu naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tāupoʻou. Pea hili ia naʻe ʻomi ia kituʻa ʻe heʻene tamaioʻeiki, pea ne songo ʻae matapā kiate ia.
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.
19 Pea naʻe pani ʻaki ʻe Tamaa ʻa hono ʻulu ʻae efuefu, pea naʻa ne haehae ʻa hono kofu pulepule ʻaia naʻa ne kofuʻaki, pea naʻa ne ʻai hono nima ki hono ʻulu, pea naʻa ne ʻalu pe mo tangi.
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.
20 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻApisalomi ko hono tuongaʻane kiate ia, “Kuo ala [koā ]ʻa ʻAmanoni ko ho tuongaʻane kiate koe? Ka ko eni ʻa hoku tuofefine ke ke longo pe; he ko ho tuongaʻane ia; ʻoua naʻa ke tokanga ki he meʻa ni.” Ko ia naʻe nofo mamahi pe ʻa Tamaa ʻi he fale ʻo hono tuongaʻane ko ʻApisalomi.
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.
21 Ka ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe houhau ʻaupito ia.
But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
22 Pea naʻe ʻikai ke moimoʻi lea ʻa ʻApisalomi ki hono tokoua ko ʻAmanoni ʻi he lelei pe ko e kovi: he naʻe fehiʻa ʻa ʻApisalomi kia ʻAmanoni, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tohotohoʻi ʻa hono tuofefine.
And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23 Pea hili ʻae taʻu kātoa ʻe ua naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae kau tangata kosi sipi ʻi Peali-Hasoa, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki ʻIfalemi; pea naʻe talaki ki ai ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi.
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.
24 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻApisalomi ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai eni, kuo ʻi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata kosi sipi; ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke meʻa ʻae tuʻi pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke ʻalu mo ho tamaioʻeiki.”
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.
25 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia ʻApisalomi, “ʻE ʻikai, hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa tau ʻalu eni kotoa pē, telia naʻa mau fakamāfasia kiate koe.” Pea naʻa ne kole mālohi kiate ia; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻalu mo ia, ka naʻa ne tāpuakiʻi ia.
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.
26 Pea naʻe toki pehē ai ʻe ʻApisalomi, “Ka kuo ʻikai, pea ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke ʻalu ʻa ʻAmanoni mo kimautolu.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e hā ka ʻalu ai ia mo koe?”
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?
27 Ka naʻe kole fakamātoato ʻe ʻApisalomi, ke ne tuku ʻa ʻAmanoni pea mo e ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ke ʻalu mo ia.
But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
28 Ka ko eni, kuo ʻosi hono tala ʻe ʻApisalomi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Mou vakai ʻoka fiefia ʻae loto ʻo ʻAmanoni ʻi he uaine, pea kau ka pehē ʻeau kiate kimoutolu, Tāʻi ʻa ʻAmanoni; mou toki tāmateʻi ia, ʻoua naʻa manavahē; ʻikai kuo u fekau ʻeau kiate kimoutolu? Mou lototoʻa pea fai mālohi.”
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.
29 Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻApisalomi kia ʻAmanoni ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe taki taha heka ʻae tangata ki heʻene miuli pea hola.
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.
30 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻenau ʻi he hala, naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tāmateʻi ʻe ʻApisalomi ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai toe ha tokotaha ʻokinautolu.”
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.
31 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻae tuʻi pea ne haehae ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, pea ne tō hifo ki he funga kelekele; pea naʻe tutuʻu ofi ai ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē pea kuo haehae ʻa honau ngaahi kofu.
Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
32 Pea ko Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Simia ko e tokoua ʻo Tevita, naʻe tali ʻe ia ʻo ne pehē, “Ke ʻoua naʻa mahalo ʻe hoku ʻeiki kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau talavou kotoa pē ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi; he ko ʻAmanoni pe tokotaha kuo mate; he kuo fakapapau ʻae meʻa ni mei he ngutu ʻo ʻApisalomi talu mei he ʻaho naʻe tohotoho ai ʻa Tamaa ko hono tuofefine.
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.
33 Ko ia foki ke ʻoua naʻa mamahi fau ʻae loto ʻo hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi, ke ne mahalo kuo mate ʻae ngaahi foha kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi: he ko ʻAmanoni pe tokotaha kuo mate.”
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.
34 Ka naʻe hola ʻa ʻApisalomi. Pea naʻe hanga hake ʻe he tangata talavou ʻaia naʻe nofo ke leʻo, pea ne sio, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻi he hala ʻi he tafaʻaki moʻunga ki mui ʻiate ia.
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.
35 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sonatapi ki he tuʻi, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
36 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi leva ʻe ia ʻa ʻene lea, vakai, naʻe hoko mai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi pea naʻa nau hiki hake honau leʻo ʻo tangi: pea naʻe tangi lahi ʻaupito foki ʻae tuʻi pea mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē.
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.
37 Ka naʻe hola ʻa ʻApisalomi, ʻo ne ʻalu kia Talimei, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmihuti ko e tuʻi ʻo Kesuli. Pea naʻe loto mamahi [ʻa Tevita ]ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hono foha.
But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
38 Ko ia, naʻe hola ʻa ʻApisalomi, ʻo ne ʻalu ki Kesuli, pea naʻa ne ʻi ai ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu.
So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 Pea naʻe holi tuʻu pe ʻa Tevita ke ne ʻalu atu kia ʻApisalomi: he kuo fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻia ʻAmanoni, koeʻuhi ko ʻene pekia.
And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
