2 Samuelova 13
1 A potom se dogodi ovo: Davidov sin Abšalom imao je lijepu sestru po imenu Tamaru i u nju se zaljubio Davidov sin Amnon.
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David having a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 Amnon se toliko mučio da se gotovo razbolio radi svoje sestre Tamare: jer ona bijaše djevica, pa Amnon nije vidio mogućnosti da joj učini bilo što.
And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed difficult for Amnon to do the least thing to her.
3 Ali imaše Amnon prijatelja po imenu Jonadaba, sina Davidova brata Šimeja; a Jonadab bijaše vrlo domišljat.
And Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.
4 I upita on Amnona: “Odakle to, kraljev sine, da si svako jutro mlitav? Ne bi li mi kazao?” A Amnon mu odgovori: “Zaljubljen sam u Tamaru, sestru svoga brata Abšaloma.”
And he said to him, Why dost thou, the king's son, get thinner from morning to morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
5 A Jonadab mu reče: “Lezi u postelju i pričini se bolestan, pa kad dođe tvoj otac da te pohodi, ti mu reci: 'Dopusti da dođe moja sestra Tamara da mi dade jesti; ako ona pred mojim očima zgotovi jelo da to vidim, onda ću iz njezine ruke jesti.'”
And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed and feign thyself sick; and when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.
6 Amnon, dakle, leže i pričini se bolestan. Kad je došao kralj da ga pohodi, reče Amnon kralju: “Dopusti da dođe moja sestra Tamara da pred mojim očima zgotovi koji kolač i ja ću se okrijepiti iz njezine ruke.”
So Amnon lay down and feigned himself sick; and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.
7 Tada David poruči Tamari u palaču: “Idi u kuću svoga brata Amnona i priredi mu jelo!”
And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go, I pray thee, to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.
8 Tamara ode u kuću svoga brata Amnona. A on ležaše. Uze ona brašna, umijesi ga, načini kolače pred njegovim očima te ih ispeče.
And Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he had lain down. And she took flour and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
9 Potom uze tavu i istrese je preda nj, ali Amnon ne htjede jesti nego reče: “Otpremite sve odavde!” I svi iziđoše od njega.
And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Put every man out from me. And they went out every man from him.
10 Tada Amnon reče Tamari: “Donesi mi jelo u spavaonicu da se okrijepim iz tvoje ruke!” I Tamara uze kolače koje bijaše zgotovila i donese ih svome bratu Amnonu u spavaonicu.
And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the dish into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
11 A kad mu je pružila da jede, on je uhvati rukom i reče joj: “Dođi, sestro moja, lezi sa mnom!”
And she presented them to him to eat; and he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
12 A ona mu reče: “Nemoj, brate moj! Ne sramoti me jer se tako ne radi u Izraelu. Ne čini takve sramote!
And she said to him, No, my brother, do not humble me; for no such thing is done in Israel: do not this infamy.
13 Kuda bih ja sa svojom sramotom? A i ti bi bio kao bestidnik u Izraelu! Nego govori s kraljem: on me neće uskratiti tebi!”
And I, whither shall I carry my reproach? and thou wouldest be as one of the infamous in Israel. And now, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
14 Ali je on ne htjede poslušati, nego je svlada i leže s njom.
But he would not hearken to her voice, and was stronger than she, and humbled her and lay with her.
15 Nato je odmah zamrzi silnom mržnjom te je mržnja kojom ju je zamrzio bila veća od ljubavi kojom ju je prije ljubio. I reče joj Amnon: “Ustani! Odlazi!”
And Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.
16 A ona mu odvrati: “Ne, brate moj! Ako me sad otjeraš, bit će to veće zlo od onoga koje si mi učinio!” Ali je on ne htjede slušati,
And she said to him, There is no cause for this evil in sending me away, [which] is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her.
17 nego dozva momka koji ga je služio i zapovjedi mu: “Otjeraj ovu od mene, izbaci je i zaključaj vrata za njom!”
Then he called his young man that attended upon him, and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.
18 (A ona je imala na sebi haljinu s dugim rukavima, jer su se nekoć u takve haljine oblačile kraljeve kćeri dok su bile djevojke.) Sluga je izvede van i zaključa vrata za njom.
Now she had a vest of many colours upon her; for so were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. And his attendant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
19 Tada Tamara uze prašine i posu se njom po glavi, razdrije haljinu s dugim rukavima koju je imala na sebi, stavi ruku na glavu i ode vičući glasno dok je išla.
And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her vest of many colours which was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying out as she went.
20 A njezin je brat Abšalom upita: “Je li možda tvoj brat Amnon bio s tobom? Ali sada, sestro moja, šuti: brat ti je! Ne uzimaj to k srcu!” Tako je Tamara ostala osamljena u kući svoga brata Abšaloma.
And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, be still: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. And Tamar remained, and [that] desolate, in her brother Absalom's house.
21 Kad je kralj David čuo sve što se dogodilo, vrlo se razgnjevi, ali ne htjede žalostiti svoga sina Amnona, koga je ljubio jer mu bijaše prvorođenac.
And king David heard of all these things, and he was very angry.
22 A Abšalom ne reče Amnonu ni riječi, ni zle ni dobre, jer je Abšalom zamrzio Amnona što mu osramoti sestru Tamaru.
And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had humbled his sister Tamar.
23 A poslije dvije godine imao je Abšalom striženje ovaca u Baal Hasoru kod Efrajima; i Abšalom pozva svu kraljevu obitelj.
And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
24 Abšalom dođe kralju i reče mu: “Evo, tvoj sluga ima striženje ovaca, pa neka se kralj i njegovi dvorani udostoje doći svome sluzi.”
And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold, now, thy servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
25 Ali kralj odgovori Abšalomu: “Ne, sine, nećemo doći svi, da ti ne budemo na teret.” Abšalom ustraja, ali kralj ne htjede ići, nego ga blagoslovi i otpusti.
And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.
26 Ali Abšalom nastavi: “Ako ti nećeš, dopusti da bar moj brat Amnon pođe s nama.” A kralj ga upita: “Zašto da ide s tobom?”
And Absalom said, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?
27 Ali je Abšalom i dalje navaljivao te David naposljetku pusti s njim Amnona i sve kraljeve sinove. Abšalom priredi kraljevsku gozbu
But Absalom pressed him; and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
28 i zapovjedi svojim slugama ovako: “Pazite! Kad se Amnonu razveseli srce od vina i ja vam viknem: 'Ubijte Amnona!' tada ga pogubite! Ne bojte se, jer vam tako zapovijedam! Ohrabrite se i pokažite se junaci!”
And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then slay him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
29 I Abšalomove sluge učiniše s Amnonom kako im zapovjedi Abšalom. Tada skočiše svi kraljevi sinovi, pojahaše svaki svoju mazgu i pobjegoše.
And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and they rode each upon his mule and fled.
30 Dok su oni još bili na putu, dođe ovakva vijest Davidu: “Abšalom je pobio sve kraljeve sinove, nije ostao od njih ni jedan jedini.”
And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
31 Kralj ustade, razdrije svoje haljine i baci se na zemlju; i svi njegovi dvorani koji stajahu oko njega razdriješe svoje haljine.
Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their garments rent.
32 Ali Jonadab, sin Davidova brata Šimeja, progovori ovako: “Neka ne govori moj gospodar da su pobili sve mladiće, kraljeve sinove, jer je poginuo samo Amnon: na Abšalomovu licu mogla se predviđati nesreća od onoga dana kad je Amnon osramotio njegovu sestru Tamaru.
And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he humbled his sister Tamar.
33 Zato neka sada moj gospodar i kralj ne misli u srcu da su svi kraljevi sinovi poginuli. Poginuo je samo Amnon,
And now let not my lord the king take the thing to heart, to say, All the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.
34 a Abšalom je pobjegao.” A momak koji bijaše na straži podiže oči i ugleda mnoštvo naroda gdje silazi cestom od Horonajima. Stražar dođe i javi kralju: “Vidio sam ljude gdje silaze cestom od Horonajima po gorskom obronku.”
And Absalom fled. And the young man that watched lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there came much people from the way behind him, from the hill-side.
35 Tada Jonadab reče kralju: “Evo stigoše kraljevi sinovi! Dogodilo se kako je rekao tvoj sluga.”
And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
36 Tek što je to izrekao, a to kraljevi sinovi uđoše i zaplakaše u sav glas; a i kralj i svi njegovi dvorani plakahu.
And as soon as he had ended speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.
37 Abšalom pak bijaše pobjegao i otišao k Talmaju, sinu Amihudovu, gešurskom kralju. A David tugovaše za svojim sinom bez prestanka.
And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.
38 A pošto je Abšalom pobjegao i otišao u Gešur, ostao je ondje tri godine.
Now Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 Kralj David prestao se srditi na Abšaloma jer se utješio zbog smrti Amnonove.
And king David longed to go forth to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
