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 cometh to pass afterwards that Absalom son of David hath a fair sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loveth 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 hath distress — even to become sick, because of Tamar his sister, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.

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

And Amnon hath a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David's brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise 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 saith to him, 'Wherefore [art] thou thus lean, O king's son, morning by morning? dost thou not declare to me?' And Amnon saith to him, 'Tamar — sister of Absalom my brother — I am loving.'

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 saith to him, 'Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou hast said unto him, 'Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten 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.”

And Amnon lieth down, and feigneth himself sick, and the king cometh in to see him, and Amnon saith unto the king, 'Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come, and she maketh before mine eyes two cakes, and I eat from her hand.'

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

And David sendeth unto Tamar, to the house, saying, 'Go, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and make for 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 goeth to the house of Amnon her brother, and he is lying down, and she taketh the dough, and kneadeth, and maketh cakes before his eyes, and cooketh 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 taketh the frying-pan, and poureth out before him, and he refuseth to eat, and Amnon saith, 'Take ye out every one from me;' and they go out every one 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 saith unto Tamar, 'Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from thy hand;' and Tamar taketh the cakes that she hath made, and bringeth in to Amnon her brother, into the inner chamber,

11 A kad mu je pružila da jede, on je uhvati rukom i reče joj: “Dođi, sestro moja, lezi sa mnom!”

and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold on her, and saith 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 saith to him, 'Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not this folly.

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 do I cause my reproach to go? and thou — thou art as one of the fools in Israel; and now, speak, I pray thee, unto the king; for he doth not withhold me from thee.'

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

And he hath not been willing to hearken to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbleth her, and lieth 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 hateth her — a very great hatred — that greater [is] the hatred with which he hath hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon saith to her, 'Rise, go.'

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 saith to him, 'Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that thou hast done with me — to send me away;' and he hath not been willing to 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!”

and calleth his young man, his servant, and saith, 'Send away, I pray thee, this one from me without, 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.

— and upon her [is] a long coat, for such upper robes do daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on, — and his servant taketh her out without, and hath 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 taketh ashes for her head, and the long coat that [is] on her she hath rent, and putteth her hand on her head, and goeth, going on and 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 saith unto her, 'Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] thy brother; set not thy heart to this thing;' and Tamar dwelleth — but desolate — in the house of Absalom her brother.

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 hath heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;

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

and Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled Tamar his sister.

23 A poslije dvije godine imao je Abšalom striženje ovaca u Baal Hasoru kod Efrajima; i Abšalom pozva svu kraljevu obitelj.

And it cometh to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom hath shearers in Baal-Hazor, which [is] with Ephraim, and Absalom calleth for all the sons of the king.

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 cometh unto the king, and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath shearers, let the king go, I pray thee, and his servants, 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 saith unto Absalom, 'Nay, my son, let us not all go, I pray thee, and we are not too heavy on thee;' and he presseth on him, and he hath not been willing to go, and he blesseth 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 saith, 'If not — let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us;' and the king saith to him, 'Why doth 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

and Absalom urgeth on him, and he sendeth with him Amnon, and all the sons of the king.

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 commandeth his young men, saying, 'See, I pray thee, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said unto you, Smite Amnon, that ye have put him to death; fear not; is it not because I have commanded you? be strong, yea, become sons of valour.'

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

And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and rise do all the sons of the king, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.

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 cometh to pass — they [are] in the way — and the report hath come unto David, saying, 'Absalom hath smitten all the sons of the king, and there is not left of them one;'

31 Kralj ustade, razdrije svoje haljine i baci se na zemlju; i svi njegovi dvorani koji stajahu oko njega razdriješe svoje haljine.

and the king riseth, and rendeth his garments, and lieth on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] rent garments.

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 son of Shimeah, David's brother, answereth and saith, 'Let not my lord say, The whole of the young men, the sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone [is] dead, for by the command of Absalom it hath been appointed from the day of his humbling Tamar his sister;

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 lay unto his heart the word, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [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 fleeth, and the young man who is watching lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, much people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.

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

And Jonadab saith unto the king, 'Lo, the sons of the king have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.'

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 it cometh to pass at his finishing to speak, that lo, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept — a very great weeping.

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

And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourneth for his son all the days.

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

And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there three years;

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

and [the soul of] king David determineth to go out unto Absalom, for he hath been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
