1Ngasemuva u-Abisalomu indodana kaDavide wayenodadewabo omuhle ogama lakhe linguTamari; u-Amnoni indodana kaDavide wamthanda.
2U-Amnoni wathukuthela waze wagula ngenxa kadadewabo uTamari; ngoba yayiyintombi; kwaba nzima kuye u-Amnoni ukuba amenze utho.
3Kepha u-Amnoni wayenomngane ogama lakhe linguJonadaba indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide; uJonadaba wayeyindoda ehlakaniphileyo.
4Wathi kuye: “Kungani wena ndodana yenkosi uzonda imihla ngemihla na?” awungitsheli? U-Amnoni wathi kuye: “Ngithanda uTamari, udadewabo ka-Abisalomu umfowethu;
5UJonadaba wathi kuye: “Lala embhedeni wakho, ugule; lapho uyihlo efika ukukubona, uthi kuye: ‘Makeze uTamari udadewethu, anginike inyama, alungise inyama.’ phambi kwamehlo ami, ukuze ngiyibone, ngiyidle esandleni sakhe.
6U-Amnoni wayeselala phansi, wazigulisa; lapho inkosi ifika ukumbona, u-Amnoni wathi enkosini: “Makeze uTamari udadewethu, angenzele amaqebelengwane phambi kwamehlo ami, ukuze ngidle esandleni sakhe.
7UDavide wayesethumela kuTamari endlini, wathi: “Hamba manje, uye endlini ka-Amnoni umfowenu, umlungisele ukudla.
8UTamari wayeseya endlini ka-Amnoni umnewabo; walaliswa phansi. Wathatha impuphu, wayixova, wenza amaqebelengwane phambi kwamehlo akhe, wabhaka amaqebelengwane.
9Wathatha ipani, walithululela phambi kwakhe; kodwa wala ukudla. Wathi u-Amnoni: “Mabasuke kimi bonke.” Basebephuma kuye, ngulowo lalowo.
10U-Amnoni wathi kuTamari: “Letha ukudla endlini ekamelweni ukuba ngidle esandleni sakho.” UTamari wathatha amaqebelengwane abewenzile, wawangenisa ekamelweni ku-Amnoni umnewabo.
11Esekusilethe kuye ukuba adle, wambamba, wathi kuye: “Woza ulale nami, dadewethu.”
12Wathi kuye: “Qha, mfowethu, ungangiphoqi; ngoba akwenziwa into enje koIsrayeli; musani ukwenza lombhedo.
13Mina-ke, ngingaliyekelaphi ihlazo lami na? futhi wena, uyoba njengesiwula kwa-Israyeli. Khuluma manje enkosini; ngoba kayikungigodla kini.
14Kodwa akalalelanga izwi lakhe, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wayenamandla kunaye, wamphoqa, walala naye.
15U-Amnoni wayesemzonda kakhulu; kangangokuthi inzondo ayemzonda ngayo yaba nkulu kunothando ayemthanda ngalo. U-Amnoni wathi kuye: “Vuka, uhambe.”
16Wathi kuye: “Akukho cala; lobu bubi bokungixosha bukhulu kunalaba obenze kimi.” Kodwa akavumanga ukumlalela.
17Wayesebiza inceku yakhe eyayimkhonza, wathi: “Susa kimi lo wesifazane, ukhiye umnyango emva kwakhe.”
18Wayembethe ingubo emibalabala, ngokuba amadodakazi enkosi ayeyizintombi ayegqokiswa ngale ndlela. Inceku yakhe yamkhiphela phandle, yahluthulela umnyango ngemva kwakhe.
19Khona-ke uThamari wathela umlotha ekhanda lakhe waklebhula ingubo yakhe emibalabala ayeyigqokile wabeka isandla sakhe ekhanda lakhe wakhala.
20U-Abisalomu umnewabo wathi kuye: “Umnewenu u-Amnoni ube nawe na? kepha thula manje, dadewethu, ungumfowenu; ungacabangi ngale nto. UTamari wayesehlala endlini ka-Absalomu umfowabo ephithene.
21Kodwa inkosi uDavide isizwile ngazo zonke lezi zinto yathukuthela kakhulu.
22U-Abisalomu akakhulumanga okuhle nokubi ku-Amnoni umfowabo, ngokuba u-Abisalomu wamzonda u-Amnoni, lokhu ephoqile udadewabo uTamari.
23Kwathi emva kweminyaka emibili egcweleyo u-Abisalomu wayenabagundi bezimvu eBali Hazori eliseduze no-Efrayimi; u-Abisalomu wamema wonke amadodana enkosi.
24U-Abisalomu wayesefika enkosini, wathi: “Bheka, inceku yakho inabagundi bezimvu; inkosi nezinceku zayo mayihambe nenceku yakho.
25Inkosi yathi ku-Abisalomu: “Qha, ndodana yami, mawungahambi sonke manje, funa singabi nacala kuwe.” Wamcindezela, kepha akavumanga ukuhamba, wambusisa.
26Wayesethi u-Abisalomu: “Uma kungenjalo, umfowethu u-Amnoni makahambe nathi.” Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Kungani kufanele ahambe lawe?
27Kepha u-Abisalomu wamcindezela, waze wavumela u-Amnoni nawo onke amadodana enkosi ukuba ahambe naye.
28U-Abisalomu wayala izinceku zakhe, wathi: “Bhekani, lapho inhliziyo ka-Amnoni ithokoza ngewayini, nalapho ngithi kini: ‘Bulalani u-Amnoni,’ bese nimbulala, ningesabi. Anginiyalanga na? yiba nesibindi futhi ube nesibindi.
29Izinceku zika-Abisalomu zenza ku-Amnoni njengokuyala kuka-Abisalomu. Khona-ke wonke amadodana enkosi asukuma, futhi ngamunye wamdonsa phezu komnyuzi wakhe, abaleka.
30Kwathi besendleleni, kwafika umbiko kuDavide, wathi: “U-Abisalomu ubulele wonke amadodana enkosi, akwasala neyodwa kuwo.”
31Inkosi yayisisukuma, yaklebhula izingubo zayo, yalala phansi; zonke izinceku zakhe zazimi lapho izingubo eziklebhukile.
32UJonadaba indodana kaShimeya umfowabo kaDavide waphendula wathi: “Inkosi yami mayingathi babulele izinsizwa zonke, amadodana enkosi; ngokuba ngu-Amnoni yedwa ofileyo, ngokuba njengokwesinqumo sika-Abisalomu kwaqinisekiswa kusukela osukwini aphoqa ngalo udadewabo uTamari.
33Manje inkosi yami, inkosi, mayingayifaki enhliziyweni le ndaba ukuthi wonke amadodana enkosi afile; ngoba nguAmnoni yedwa ofileyo.
34Kodwa u-Abisalomu wabaleka. Insizwa engumlindi yaphakamisa amehlo ayo, yabheka, bheka, abantu abaningi bekhuphuka ngomgwaqo ngemuva kwayo.
35UJonadaba wathi enkosini: “Bheka, amadodana enkosi ayeza; njengalokho inceku yakho yathi, kunjalo.
36Kwathi eseqedile ukukhuluma, amadodana enkosi afika aphakamisa amazwi awo akhala; nenkosi nazo zonke izinceku zayo bakhala kakhulu.
37Kepha u-Abisalomu wabaleka, waya kuTalimayi, indodana ka-Amihudi, inkosi yaseGeshuri. UDavide walilela indodana yakhe zonke izinsuku.
38U-Abisalomu wayesebaleka, waya eGeshuri, waba khona iminyaka emithathu.
39Umphefumulo wenkosi uDavide walangazelela ukuphuma ku-Abisalomu, ngokuba yayiziduduzile ngo-Amnoni, ngokuba wayesefile.
