撒母耳記下 13

1 大衛的兒子押沙龍有一個美貌的妹子，名叫她瑪。大衛的兒子暗嫩愛她。

And it was after thus and [belonged] to Absalom [the] son of David a sister a beautiful and name her [was] Tamar and he loved her Amnon [the] son of David.

2 暗嫩為他妹子她瑪憂急成病。她瑪還是處女，暗嫩以為難向她行事。

And it was distress to Amnon to make himself sick for sake of Tamar sister his for [was] a virgin she and it was difficult in [the] eyes of Amnon to do to her anything.

3 暗嫩有一個朋友，名叫約拿達，是大衛長兄示米亞的兒子。這約拿達為人極其狡猾；

And [belonged] to Amnon a friend and name his [was] Jonadab [the] son of Shimeah [the] brother of David and Jonadab [was] a man shrewd very.

4 他問暗嫩說：「王的兒子啊，為何一天比一天瘦弱呢？請你告訴我。」暗嫩回答說：「我愛我兄弟押沙龍的妹子她瑪。」

And he said to him why? [are] you thus weak O son of the king in the morning in the morning ¿ not will you tell to me and he said to him Amnon Tamar [the] sister of Absalom brother my I [am] loving.

5 約拿達說：「你不如躺在床上裝病；你父親來看你，就對他說：『求父叫我妹子她瑪來，在我眼前預備食物，遞給我吃，使我看見，好從她手裏接過來吃。』」

And he said to him Jonadab lie down on bed your and make yourself sick and he will come father your to see you and you will say to him let her come please Tamar sister my and let her cause to eat me food and she will make to eyes my the food so that that I may see and I will eat from hand her.

6 於是暗嫩躺臥裝病。王來看他，他對王說：「求父叫我妹子她瑪來，在我眼前為我做兩個餅，我好從她手裏接過來吃。」

And he lay down Amnon and he made himself sick and he came the king to see him and he said Amnon to the king let her come please Tamar sister my and let her make cakes to eyes my two cakes so I may eat from hand her.

7 大衛就打發人到宮裏，對她瑪說：「你往你哥哥暗嫩的屋裏去，為他預備食物。」

And he sent David to Tamar the house towards saying go please [the] house of Amnon brother your and make for him the food.

8 她瑪就到她哥哥暗嫩的屋裏；暗嫩正躺臥。她瑪摶麵，在他眼前做餅，且烤熟了，

And she went Tamar [the] house of Amnon brother her and he [was] lying down and she took the dough (and she kneaded [it] *Q(k)*) and she made cakes to eyes his and she cooked the cakes.

9 在他面前將餅從鍋裏倒出來，他卻不肯吃，便說：「眾人離開我出去吧！」眾人就都離開他，出去了。

And she took the pan and she poured out before him and he refused to eat and he said Amnon send out every person from with me and they went out every person from with him.

10 暗嫩對她瑪說：「你把食物拿進臥房，我好從你手裏接過來吃。」她瑪就把所做的餅拿進臥房，到她哥哥暗嫩那裏，

And he said Amnon to Tamar bring the food the chamber so I may eat from hand your and she took Tamar the cakes which she had made and she brought [them] to Amnon brother her the chamber towards.

11 拿着餅上前給他吃，他便拉住她瑪，說：「我妹妹，你來與我同寢。」

And she brought [them] to him to eat and he took hold on her and he said to her come lie with me O sister my.

12 她瑪說：「我哥哥，不要玷辱我。以色列人中不當這樣行，你不要做這醜事；

And she said to him may [you] not O brother my may not you humble me for not it will be done thus in Israel may not you do the disgraceful folly this.

13 你玷辱了我，我何以掩蓋我的羞恥呢？你在以色列中也成了愚妄人。你可以求王，他必不禁止我歸你。」

And I where? will I bring reproach my and you you will be like one of the fools in Israel and now speak please to the king for not he will withhold me from you.

14 但暗嫩不肯聽她的話，因比她力大，就玷辱她，與她同寢。

And not he was willing to listen to voice her and he was strong more than her and he humbled her and he lay with with her.

15 隨後，暗嫩極其恨她，那恨她的心比先前愛她的心更甚，對她說：「你起來，去吧！」

And he hated her Amnon hatred great very that [was] great the hatred which he hated her more than [the] love which he had loved her and he said to her Amnon get up go.

16 她瑪說：「不要這樣！你趕出我去的這罪比你才行的更重！」但暗嫩不肯聽她的話，

And she said to him may not [the] causes of the evil great this [be] more than [the] other which you have done with me to send away me and not he was willing to listen to her.

17 就叫伺候自己的僕人來，說：「將這個女子趕出去！她一出去，你就關門，上閂。」

And he summoned young man his [who] served him and he said send away please this [woman] from with me the outside towards and lock the door after her.

18 那時她瑪穿着彩衣，因為沒有出嫁的公主都是這樣穿。暗嫩的僕人就把她趕出去，關門上閂。

And [was] on her a long garment of palms and soles for thus they wore [the] daughters of the king the virgins robes and he made go out her servant his the outside and he locked the door after her.

19 她瑪把灰塵撒在頭上，撕裂所穿的彩衣，以手抱頭，一面行走，一面哭喊。

And she took Tamar ash[es] on head her and [the] long garment of the palms and soles which [was] on her she tore and she put hand her on head her and she went continuously and she cried out.

20 她胞兄押沙龍問她說：「莫非你哥哥暗嫩與你親近了嗎？我妹妹，暫且不要作聲，他是你的哥哥，不要將這事放在心上。」她瑪就孤孤單單地住在她胞兄押沙龍家裏。

And he said to her Absalom brother her ¿ Amnon brother your has he been with you and now O sister my keep silent [is] brother your he may not you set heart your to the matter this and she dwelt Tamar a desolate [woman] [the] house of Absalom brother her.

21 大衛王聽見這事，就甚發怒。

And the king David he heard all the things these and it burned to him exceedingly.

22 押沙龍並不和他哥哥暗嫩說好說歹；因為暗嫩玷辱他妹妹她瑪，所以押沙龍恨惡他。

And not he spoke Absalom with Amnon from bad and unto good for he hated Absalom Amnon on [the] thing that he had humbled Tamar sister his.

23 過了二年，在靠近以法蓮的巴力‧夏瑣有人為押沙龍剪羊毛；押沙龍請王的眾子與他同去。

And it was to two years days and they belonged shearers to Absalom at Baal Hazor which [is] near Ephraim and he invited Absalom all [the] sons of the king.

24 押沙龍來見王，說：「現在有人為僕人剪羊毛，請王和王的臣僕與僕人同去。」

And he went Absalom to the king and he said here! please shearers [belong] to servant your let him go please the king and servants his with servant your.

25 王對押沙龍說：「我兒，我們不必都去，恐怕使你耗費太多。」押沙龍再三請王，王仍是不肯去，只為他祝福。

And he said the king to Absalom may [we] not O son my may not please we go all of us and not we will be heavy on you and he urged him and not he was willing to go and he blessed him.

26 押沙龍說：「王若不去，求王許我哥哥暗嫩同去。」王說：「何必要他去呢？」

And he said Absalom and not let him go please with us Amnon brother my and he said to him the king why? will he go with you.

27 押沙龍再三求王，王就許暗嫩和王的眾子與他同去。

And he urged him Absalom and he sent with him Amnon and all [the] sons of the king.

28 押沙龍吩咐僕人說：「你們注意，看暗嫩飲酒暢快的時候，我對你們說殺暗嫩，你們便殺他，不要懼怕。這不是我吩咐你們的嗎？你們只管壯膽奮勇！」

And he commanded Absalom servants his saying look please when is good [the] heart of Amnon with the wine and I will say to you strike down Amnon and you will kill him may not you be afraid ¿ In-deed I I have commanded you be strong and become sons of strength.

29 押沙龍的僕人就照押沙龍所吩咐的，向暗嫩行了。王的眾子都起來，各人騎上騾子，逃跑了。

And they did [the] servants of Absalom to Amnon just as he had commanded Absalom and they arose - all [the] sons of the king and they mounted each on mule his and they fled.

30 他們還在路上，有風聲傳到大衛那裏，說：「押沙龍將王的眾子都殺了，沒有留下一個。」

And it was they [were] on the way and the report it came to David saying he has struck down Absalom all [the] sons of the king and not he is left of them one.

31 王就起來，撕裂衣服，躺在地上。王的臣僕也都撕裂衣服，站在旁邊。

And he arose the king and he tore garments his and he lay down [the] ground towards and all servants his [were] standing torn of garments.

32 大衛的長兄，示米亞的兒子約拿達說：「我主，不要以為王的眾子－少年人都殺了，只有暗嫩一個人死了。自從暗嫩玷辱押沙龍妹子她瑪的那日，押沙龍就定意殺暗嫩了。

And he answered Jonadab - [the] son of Shimeah [the] brother of David and he said may not he say lord my all the young men [the] sons of the king they have killed for Amnon to only him he has died for on [the] mouth of Absalom it was determined from [the] day humbled he Tamar sister his.

33 現在，我主我王，不要把這事放在心上，以為王的眾子都死了，只有暗嫩一個人死了。」

And therefore may not he set lord my the king to heart his a word saying all [the] sons of the king they have died that (except *Q(K)*) Amnon to only him he has died.

34 押沙龍逃跑了。 守望的少年人舉目觀看，見有許多人從山坡的路上來。

And he fled Absalom and he lifted up the servant who kept watch (eyes his *Q(K)*) and he saw and there! a people numerous [was] coming from [the] road behind him (at the descent and he went the watchman and he told to the king and he said men I saw [were] going down from direction of Horonaim *X*) from [the] side of the mountain.

35 約拿達對王說：「看哪，王的眾子都來了，果然與你僕人所說的相合。」

And he said Jonadab to the king there! [the] sons of the king they have come according to [the] word of servant your so it has happened.

36 話才說完，王的眾子都到了，放聲大哭；王和臣僕也都哭得甚慟。

And it was - when finished he to speak and there! [the] sons of the king they came and they lifted up voice their and they wept and also the king and all servants his they wept a weeping a great very.

37 押沙龍逃到基述王亞米忽的兒子達買那裏去了。大衛天天為他兒子悲哀。

And Absalom he fled and he went to Talmai [the] son of (Ammihud *Q(K)*) [the] king of Geshur and he mourned on son his all the days.

38 押沙龍逃到基述，在那裏住了三年。

And Absalom he fled and he went Geshur and he was there three years.

39 暗嫩死了以後，大衛王得了安慰，心裏切切想念押沙龍。

And it [fem] completed David the king to go out against Absalom for he was comforted on Amnon that he had died.
