5 Ɛnna Dawid bo fuu pii tiaa ɔbarima no, na ɔka kyerɛɛ Natan sɛ: Sɛ AWURADE te aseɛ yi, ɔbarima a ɔyɛɛ yei no sɛ wuo.

6 Na odwan no, ɔnhyɛ ananmu mprɛnnan, sɛ wadi saa asɛm yi na wanhunu mmɔborɔ.

12 Na wo deɛ, woyɛɛ no ahuntaeɛ mu, na me deɛ, mɛdi asɛm yi Israel nyinaa anim awia ketee.

Dawid pae mu ka ne bɔne

13 Ɛnna Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Natan sɛ: Mayɛ AWURADE bɔne. Na Natan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ: AWURADE nso de wo bɔne akyɛ wo, worenwu.

14 Nanso sɛ wode asɛm a woadie yi ama AWURADE atamfoɔ anya kwan aka abususɛm atia no nti, ɔba a wɔawo no ama woɔ no bɛwu.

7 Na Dawid soma maa wɔkɔɔ Tamar nkyɛn efie sɛ: Kɔ wo nua Amnon fie ɛ, na kɔyɛ aduane ma no.

8 Na Tamar kɔɔ ne nua Amnon fie, faako a ɔda hɔ. Na ɔfaa mmɔre fɔtɔe, na ɔyɛɛ ɔfam n’anim, na ɔtoo ɔfam no.

9 Na ɔtoɛɛ dadesɛn no, na ɔhwiee no n’anim; nso wampɛ sɛ ɔdie. Na Amnon kaa sɛ: Ma obiara mfiri me ho mfiri adi. Na nnipa no nyinaa firii ne ho kɔeɛ.

10 Na Amnon ka kyerɛɛ Tamar sɛ: Fa aduane no bra piam na menni no wo nsam. Na Tamar faa ɔfam a ɔyɛeɛ no de kɔmaa ne nua Amnon pia no mu.

11 Nanso ɔde rema no sɛ ɔnnie no, ɔsɔɔ ne mu na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: Bra, bɛda me nkyɛn, me nuabaa!

12 Na Tamar buaa no sɛ: Dabi, me nuabarima, mmrɛ me ase, na wɔnyɛ saa Israel mu; nni saa agyegyentwisɛm yi!

13 Na me deɛ, ɛhe mpo na mede m’ahohora bɛkorɔ? Na wo deɛ, wobɛyɛ sɛ Israel mu nnyegyentwie no bi. Na afei ɛne ɔhene nkɔkasa, na ɔremfa me nkame wo.

14 Nanso wampɛ sɛ ɔtie no, na ɛnam sɛ ne ho yɛ den sene no nti, ɔbrɛɛ no ase ne no dae.

15 Ɛnna Amnon de ɛtane kɛseɛ tanee no pii senee ɔdɔ a ɔdɔɔ no no. Na Amnon ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: Sɔre kɔ!

16 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: Dabi me nua, ɛfiri sɛ pamo a worepamo me yi bɔne sene deɛ woyɛɛ me no; nanso wampɛ sɛ ɔtie no.

17 Ɔfrɛɛ n’abɔfra a ɔsom no no sɛ: Pamo ɔbaa yi firi me so firi adi, na to ɛpono akyi korɔkorɔ mu wɔ n’akyi.

20 Na ne nua Absalom bisaa no sɛ: Wo nua Amnon ne wo ada anaa? Na afei, me nua, mua w’ano, ɔyɛ wo nua. Mfa w’akoma nto asɛm yi so. Na Tamar de awerɛhoɔ tenaa ne nua Absalom fie komm.

Absalom tɔ were Amnon so

21 Na Ɔhene Dawid tee nsɛm yi nyinaa no, ne bo fuu yie.

22 Na Absalom ne Amnon ankasa bɔne anaa papa. Na Absalom tanee Amnon, sɛ wabrɛ ne nua Tamar aseɛ nti.

23 Na mfeɛ mmienu akyiri no, Absalom maa wɔkɔtwitwaa ne nnwan ho wɔ Baal-hasor a ɛbɛne Efraim no, na Absalom hyiaa ɔhene mma nyinaa kɔɔ hɔ.

24 Na Absalom baa ɔhene nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ: Hwɛ, w’akoa rema wɔakɔtwitwa ne nnwan ho nwi; enti mesrɛ ma ɔhene ne ne nkoa ne w’akoa nkɔ.

25 Na ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ Absalom sɛ: Dabi, me ba, mma yɛn nyinaa nnkɔ, na yɛankɔyɛ wo so adesoa. Na ɔsrɛɛ no ara, nanso wampɛ sɛ ɔkorɔ, na ɔhyiraa no.

26 Ɛnna Absalom kaa sɛ: Sɛ ɛnte saa a, mesrɛ wo ma me nua Amnon ne yɛn nkɔ. Na ɔhene bisaa no sɛ: Adɛn nti na ɔne wo nkorɔ?

27 Na Absalom hyɛɛ no ara, na ɔmaa Amnon ne ɔhene mma no nyinaa ne no kɔe.

28 Nso na Absalom ahyɛ ne mmeranteɛ sɛ: Monhwɛ, na sɛ Amnon boro nsa tam na mese mo sɛ: Mommɔ Amnon a, monku no. Monnsuro, ɛnyɛ me na mahyɛ mo? Monyɛ den, na monyɛ mo ho mmarima.

29 Na Absalom mmeranteɛ no yɛɛ Amnon sɛdeɛ Absalom hyɛɛ wɔn no. Ɛnna ɔhene mma no nyinaa sɔresɔre tenatenaa wɔn mfunumu so dwanedwaneeɛ.

30 Na wɔnam kwan soɔ no, asɛm no duruu Dawid nkyɛn sɛ: Absalom akum ɔhene mmammarima no nyinaa, na wɔn mu baako mpo anka.

31 Ɛnna ɔhene sɔre sunsuanee ne ntadeɛ mu, na ɔdaa fam, na ne nkoa nyinaa wɔgyinagyina hɔ asunsuane wɔn ntadeɛ mu.

32 Na Dawid nua Simea ba Yonadab kaa sɛ: Mma me wura nnnwene sɛ wɔakum ɔhene mma mmeranteɛ no nyinaa, na Amnon nko na wawuo, na na Absalom ahyɛ firi da no a ɔbrɛɛ ne nua Tamar aseɛ no.

33 Na afei mma me wura ɔhene mmfa asɛm no nnhyɛ n’akoma mu, sɛ ɔhene mma nyinaa awuwu, na Amnon nko na wawuo.
