1Te phoeiah om tih David capa Absalom tah a ngannu sakthen om. Anih ming tah Tamar tih David capa Amnon loh a lungnah.
1And 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.
2A 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.
2And 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.
3Te vaengah David maya Shimeah capa, a ming ah Jonadab tah Amnon kah a paya la om. Jonadab tah bahoeng aka cueih hlang la om.
3Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:
4Te 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.
4And 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.
5Te 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.
5And 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.
6Amnon 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.
6So 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.
7Te 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.
7Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
8Tamar 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.
8And 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.
9Thi-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.
9And 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,
10Te 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.
10Amnon 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.
11A 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.
11And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
12Tedae 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.
12She 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.
13Kai 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.
13For 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.
14Tedae a ol te yaak ngaih pawh. A ngannu te rhap a kop tih a yalh puei.
14But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
15Te 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.
15Then 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.
16Amnon 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.
16She 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:
17Te 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.
17But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.
18Te 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.
18And 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.
19Tamar 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.
19And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.
20Te 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.
20And 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.
21Tedae he rhoek kah olka boeih te manghai David loh a yaak vaengah amah khaw muep sai coeng.
21And 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.
22A 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.
22But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.
23A 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.
23And 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:
24Te 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.
24And 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.
25Manghai 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.
25And 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.
26Absalom 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.
26And 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.
27Tedae anih te Absalom loh a cahoeh dongah Amnon neh manghai capa rhoek boeih te a taengla a tueih pah.
27But 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.
28Te 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.
28And 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.
29Te 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.
29And 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.
30Amih 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.
30And 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.
31Te 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.
31Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.
32Tedae 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.
32But 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.
33Te 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.
33Now 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.
34Absalom 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.
34But 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.
35Te dongah Jonadab loh manghai taengah, “Manghai capa rhoek ha pawk uh coeng ke, na sal kah ol bangla om tangkhuet,” a ti nah.
35And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
36A 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.
36And 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.
37Absalom te yong tih Geshur manghai Ammihud capa Talmai taengla cet. Tedae a capa dongah hnin takuem nguekcoi.
37But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.
38Absalom te yong tih Geshuri la aka cet te kum thum pahoi om.
38And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.
39Tedae David manghai tah Amnon a duek dongah te hal tih Absalom taengla a caeh ham khaw a toeng.
39And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
