6 Kahoo, Amnone a robala a etsa eka oa kula ’me morena a tla a tl’o mo bona. Eaba Amnone o re ho morena: “Ke kopa u re khaitseli ea ka Tamare a tle ’me a nketsetse mahobe a mabeli a bopehileng joaloka pelo ke ntse ke mo shebile, e le hore nka nka lijo ha a ’ngoathela.” 7 Eaba Davida o romela molaetsa ho Tamare ntlong o re: “Ke kopa u ee ntlong ea abuti oa hao Amnone u e’o mo phehela lijo.”* 8 Kahoo, Tamare a ea ntlong ea khaitseli ea hae Amnone, moo a neng a robetse teng. A nka hlama, a e luba ’me a etsa mahobe ka eona Amnone a ntse a mo shebile. 9 Eaba o ntša mahobe ’me oa mo ngoathela empa Amnone a hana ho ja a re: “E-re batho kaofela ba tsamaee!” Eaba batho kaofela baa tsamaea.

10 Joale Amnone a re ho Tamare: “Tlisa lijo* ka kamoreng, u mphe tsona ka letsoho la hao e le hore ke je.” Eaba Tamare o nka mahobe a bopehileng joaloka pelo ’me a a isa ka kamoreng ho khaitseli ea hae Amnone. 11 Ha a mo tlisetsa lijo hore a je, a mo tšoara ’me a re ho eena: “Khaitseli ea ka, tloo u robale le ’na.” 12 Empa Tamare a re ho eena: “Che, khaitseli ea ka! U se ke oa ntlotlolla hobane ntho e tjena ha e etsoe Iseraele.+ U se ke oa etsa ntho e mpe hakana.+ 13 Batho ba tla ncheba joang ka mor’a ketsahalo ee e tlotlollang? Le uena u tla nkoa u le e mong oa banna ba nyonyehang Iseraele. Ke kopa u bue le morena hobane a ke ke a u hanela ka ’na.” 14 Empa Amnone ha aa ka a mo mamela, o ile a mo hlola ka matla ’me a mo tlotlolla ka hore a mo bete. 15 Ka mor’a moo, Amnone a mo hloea haholo. A mo hloea ho feta kamoo a neng a mo rata kateng. Eaba Amnone o re ho eena: “Ema, u tsamaee!” 16 Tamare a re ho eena: “Che, khaitseli ea ka, ha u nteleka u tla be u etsa ntho e mpe ho feta eo u qetang ho nketsa eona.” Empa ha aa ka a mo mamela.

17 Amnone a re ho mohlanka oa hae: “Ke kopa u tlose motho enoa ka pel’a ka u be u mo notlelle ka ntle.” 18 (O ne a apere seaparo se khethehileng* hobane tseo e ne e le liaparo tse aparoang ke barali ba morena bao e ntseng e le baroetsana.) Mohlanka oa hae a mo ntšetsa ka ntle ’me a notlela lemati ha a qeta ho mo ntša. 19 Tamare a itšela ka molora hloohong+ eaba o tabola seaparo se setle seo a neng a se apere. A tsamaea a behile matsoho hloohong a bile a ntse a lla.

20 Khaitseli ea hae Absalome+ a re ho eena: “Na ke Amnone ea u entseng ntho e mpe tjee? Itholele uena khaitseli ea ka. Ke ngoan’eno.+ U se ke oa nahana haholo ka taba ena.” Tamare o ne a sa kopane le batho, a lula ha khaitseli ea hae Absalome. 21 Ha Morena Davida a utloa ka litaba tsena tsohle, a halefa haholo.+ Empa o ne a sa batle ho utloisa mora oa hae Amnone bohloko hobane o ne a mo rata kaha e ne e le mora oa hae oa letsibolo. 22 Absalome ha aa ka a bua letho le Amnone. Absalome o ile a hloea+ Amnone kaha o ne a tlotlolotse khaitseli ea hae Tamare.+

23 Ka mor’a lilemo tse peli, ha batho ba kutang linku tsa Absalome ba le Baale-hazore pel’a Efraime,+ Absalome a mema bara bohle ba morena.+ 24 Kahoo, Absalome a tla ho morena a re: “Mohlanka oa hao o e’o kuta linku tsa hae. Ke kopa hore morena le bahlanka ba hae ba tsamaee le ’na.” 25 Empa morena a re ho Absalome: “Che mora oa ka. Haeba re tsamaea kaofela, re tla ba moroalo ho uena.” Le hoja a ne a ntse a mo phehella, ha aa ka a lumela ho tsamaea le eena empa o ile a mo hlohonolofatsa. 26 Eaba Absalome o re: “Haeba uena u sa tle, ke kopa u re abuti oa ka Amnone a tsamaee le rona.”+ Morena a re ho eena: “Ke hobane’ng ha u batla hore a tsamaee le lona?” 27 Empa Absalome a ’na a mo phehella. Kahoo, morena a re Amnone le bara bohle ba morena ba tsamaee le eena.

28 Eaba Absalome o laela bahlanka ba hae o re: “Le lule le shebile Amnone. Ha a se a thabile ka lebaka la veine, ke tla re ho lona, ‘Bolaeang Amnone!’ Joale le tle le mo bolaee. Le se ke la tšaba hobane ke ’na ea le laelang. Le be matla ’me le be sebete.” 29 Kahoo, bahlanka ba Absalome ba bolaea Amnone feela joalokaha Absalome a ba laetse. Joale bara bohle ba morena ba ema ’me e mong le e mong a palama ’moulo oa hae a baleha. 30 Ha ba ntse ba le tseleng, Davida a fumana tlaleho e reng: “Absalome o bolaile bara bohle ba morena ’me ha ho le ea mong oa bona ea phonyohileng.” 31 Hang ha morena a utloa litaba tsena a ema, a tabola liaparo tsa hae ’me a robala fatše. Bahlanka bohle ba hae ba neng ba eme pel’a hae le bona ba tabola liaparo tsa bona.

32 Leha ho le joalo, Jonadabe+ mora oa Shimea+ abuti oa Davida a re: “Morena a se ke a nahana hore ho bolailoe bara bohle ba hae hobane ke Amnone feela ea shoeleng.+ Ke Absalome ea laetseng hore a bolaoe.+ Haesale a batla ho mo bolaea ho tloha mohla Amnone a neng a tlotlolotse khaitseli ea hae+ Tamare+ ka lona. 33 Moren’a ka u se ke oa kholoa tlaleho e reng, ‘Bara bohle ba morena ba shoele’ hobane ke Amnone feela ea shoeleng.”

34 Ka nako eo, Absalome a baleha.+ Hamorao ha molebeli a phahamisa mahlo, a bona batho ba bangata ba tlang ka tsela e ka mor’a hae pel’a thaba. 35 Eaba Jonadabe+ o re ho morena: “Bona, bara ba morena ba khutlile. Ho etsahetse feela joalokaha mohlanka oa hao a buile.” 36 Eitse ha a qeta ho bua, bara ba morena ba kena ba lla haholo eaba morena le bahlanka bohle ba hae le bona ba lla habohloko. 37 Absalome eena a balehela ho Talmai+ mora oa Amihude morena oa Geshure. Ho ile ha feta matsatsi a mangata Davida a utloile bohloko ka lebaka la mora oa hae. 38 Ka mor’a hore Absalome a balehele Geshure,+ a lula moo ka lilemo tse tharo.
