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.

Now after this so it was, that Absalom the sonne of Dauid hauing a fayre sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the sonne of Dauid loued 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 sore vexed, that he fell sicke for his sister Tamar: for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to doe any thing to her.

3 Ali imaše Amnon prijatelja po imenu Jonadaba, sina Davidova brata Šimeja; a Jonadab bijaše vrlo domišljat.

But Amnon had a friend called Ionadab, the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother: and Ionadab was a very subtile 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.”

Who sayde vnto him, Why art thou the Kings sonne so leane from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? Then Amnon answered him, I loue Tamar my brother Absaloms 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 Ionadab sayd vnto him, Lie downe on thy bed, and make thy selfe sicke: and when thy father shall come to see thee, say vnto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and giue me meate, and let her dresse meate in my sight, that I may see it, and eate it of 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 downe, and made himselfe sicke: and when the King came to see him, Amnon sayde vnto the King, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may receiue meate at her hand.

7 Tada David poruči Tamari u palaču: “Idi u kuću svoga brata Amnona i priredi mu jelo!”

Then Dauid sent home to Tamar, saying, Goe now to thy brother Amnons house, and dresse him meate.

8 Tamara ode u kuću svoga brata Amnona. A on ležaše. Uze ona brašna, umijesi ga, načini kolače pred njegovim očima te ih ispeče.

So Tamar went to her brother Amnons house, and he lay downe: and she tooke floure, and knead it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake 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 tooke a pan, and powred them out before him, but he would not eat. Then Amnon saide, Cause ye euery man to goe out from me: so euery man went out 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.

Then Amnon said vnto Tamar, Bring the meate into the chamber, that I may eate of thine hand. And Tamar tooke the cakes which shee 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 when she had set them before him to eate, he tooke her, and sayd vnto her, Come, lye 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!

But shee answered him, Nay, my brother, doe not force me: for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: commit not this follie.

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 cause my shame to goe? and thou shalt be as one of the fooles in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, speake to the King, for he will not denie me vnto thee.

14 Ali je on ne htjede poslušati, nego je svlada i leže s njom.

Howbeit he would not hearken vnto her voyce, but being stronger then she, forced 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!”

Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred wherewith he hated her, was greater then the loue, wherewith hee had loued her: and Amnon sayde vnto her, Vp, get thee hence.

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 answered him, There is no cause: this euill (to put mee away) is greater then the other that thou diddest vnto me: but he would not heare her,

17 nego dozva momka koji ga je služio i zapovjedi mu: “Otjeraj ovu od mene, izbaci je i zaključaj vrata za njom!”

But called his seruant that serued him, and sayd, Put this woman now out from me, and locke the doore 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.

(And she had a garment of diuers coulours vpon her: for with such garments were the Kings daughters that were virgins, apparelled) Then his seruant brought her out, and locked the doore 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 the garment of diuers colours which was on her, and layde her hand on her head, and went her way crying.

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 sayd vnto her, Hath Amnon thy brother bene with thee? Now yet be still, my sister: he is thy brother: let not this thing grieue thine heart. So Tamar remayned desolate in her brother Absaloms 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.

But when King Dauid heard all these things, he was very wroth.

22 A Abšalom ne reče Amnonu ni riječi, ni zle ni dobre, jer je Abšalom zamrzio Amnona što mu osramoti sestru Tamaru.

And Absalom sayde vnto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced 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 after the time of two yeeres, Absalom had sheepesherers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim, and Absalom called all the Kings sonnes.

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 sayd, Beholde now, thy seruant hath sheepesherers: I pray thee, that the King with his seruants would goe with thy seruant.

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.

But the King answered Absalom, Nay my sonne, I pray thee, let vs not goe all, lest we be chargeable vnto thee. Yet Absalom lay sore vpon him: howbeit he would not go, but thanked 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?”

Then sayd Absalom, But, I pray thee, shall not my brother Amnon goe with vs? And the king answered 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 was instant vpon him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the Kings children.

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!”

Now had Absalom commanded his seruants, saying, Marke now when Amnons heart is merry with wine, and when I say vnto you, Smite Amnon, kill him, feare not, for haue not I commanded you? be bold therefore, and play the men.

29 I Abšalomove sluge učiniše s Amnonom kako im zapovjedi Abšalom. Tada skočiše svi kraljevi sinovi, pojahaše svaki svoju mazgu i pobjegoše.

And the seruantes of Absalom did vnto Amnon, as Absalom had commanded: and al the Kings sonnes arose, and euery man gate him vp vpon 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 while they were in the way, tydings came to Dauid, saying, Absalom hath slaine al the Kings sonnes, 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 tare his garments, and lay on the ground, and all his seruants stoode by with their clothes 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 Ionadab the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother answered and sayde, Let not my lord suppose that they haue slayne all the yong men the Kings sonnes: for Amnon onely is dead, because Absalom had reported so, since hee forced 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,

Nowe therefore let not my lord the King take the thing so grieuously, to thinke that all ye Kings sonnes 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.”

Then Absalom fled: and the yong man that kept the watch, lift vp his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behinde him.

35 Tada Jonadab reče kralju: “Evo stigoše kraljevi sinovi! Dogodilo se kako je rekao tvoj sluga.”

And Ionadab said vnto the King, Behold, ye Kings sonnes come: as thy seruant sayd, 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 assoone as hee had left speaking, behold, the Kings sonnes came, and lift vp their voyces, and wept: and the King also and all his seruants wept exceedingly sore.

37 Abšalom pak bijaše pobjegao i otišao k Talmaju, sinu Amihudovu, gešurskom kralju. A David tugovaše za svojim sinom bez prestanka.

But Absalom fled away, and went to Talmai the sonne of Ammihur King of Geshur: and Dauid mourned for his sonne euery day.

38 A pošto je Abšalom pobjegao i otišao u Gešur, ostao je ondje tri godine.

So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three yeeres.

39 Kralj David prestao se srditi na Abšaloma jer se utješio zbog smrti Amnonove.

And King Dauid desired to go forth vnto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
