2 Samuel 13
1 Nogen Tid efter tildrog følgende sig. Davids Søn Absalom havde en smuk Søster, som hed Tamar, og Davids Søn Amnon fattede Kærlighed til hende.
And it comes to pass afterward that Absalom son of David has a beautiful sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loves her.
2 Amnon blev syg af Attraa efter sin Søster Tamar; thi hun var Jomfru, og Amnon øjnede ingen Mulighed for at faa sin Vilje med hende.
And Amnon has distress—even to become sick, because of his sister Tamar, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.
3 Men Amnon havde en Ven ved Navn Jonadab, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, og denne Jonadab var en saare klog Mand;
And Amnon has a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,
4 han sagde til ham: »Hvorfor er du saa elendig hver Morgen, Kongesøn? Vil du ikke sige mig det?« Amnon svarede: »Jeg elsker min Broder Absaloms Søster Tamar!«
and says to him, “Why [are] you thus lean, O king’s son, morning by morning? Do you not declare [it] to me?” And Amnon says to him, “Tamar—sister of my brother Absalom—I am loving.”
5 Da sagde Jonadab til ham: »Læg dig til Sengs og lad, som du er syg! Naar saa din Fader kommer for at se til dig, skal du sige: Lad min Søster Tamar komme og give mig noget at spise! Naar hun laver Maden i mit Paasyn, saa at jeg kan se det, og hun selv giver mig den, kan jeg spise.«
And Jonadab says to him, “Lie down on your bed, and feign yourself sick, and your father has come in to see you, and you have said to him: Please let my sister Tamar come in and give me bread to eat; and she has made the food before my eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.”
6 Saa gik Amnon til Sengs og lod, som han var syg; og da Kongen kom for at se til ham, sagde Amnon til Kongen: »Lad min Søster Tamar komme og lave et Par Kager i mit Paasyn og selv give mig dem: saa kan jeg spise.«
And Amnon lies down, and feigns himself sick, and the king comes in to see him, and Amnon says to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come, and she makes two cakes before my eyes, and I eat from her hand.”
7 David sendte da Bud ind i Huset til Tamar og lod sige: »Gaa over til din Broder Amnons Hus og lav Mad til ham!«
And David sends to Tamar, to the house, saying, “Now go to the house of your brother Amnon and make food for him.”
8 Og Tamar gik over til sin Broder Amnons Hus, hvor han laa til Sengs, tog Dejgen, æltede den og lavede Kagerne i hans Paasyn og bagte dem;
And Tamar goes to the house of her brother Amnon, and he is lying down, and she takes the dough, and kneads, and makes cakes before his eyes, and cooks the cakes,
9 derpaa tog hun Panden og hældte dem ud i hans Paasyn; Amnon vilde dog ikke spise, men sagde: »Lad alle gaa udenfor!« Og da de alle var gaaet udenfor,
and takes the frying-pan, and pours out before him, and he refuses to eat, and Amnon says, “Have everyone go out from me”; and everyone goes out from him.
10 sagde Amnon til Tamar: »Bær Maden ind i Inderværelset og lad mig faa den af din egen Haand!« Da tog Tamar Kagerne, som hun havde lavet, og bar dem ind i Inderværelset til sin Broder Amnon.
And Amnon says to Tamar, “Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from your hand”; and Tamar takes the cakes that she has made and brings [them] to her brother Amnon [in] the inner chamber,
11 Men da hun bar dem hen til ham, for at han skulde spise, greb han fat i hende og sagde: »Kom og lig hos mig, Søster!«
and she brings [them] near to him to eat, and he lays hold on her, and says to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”
12 Men hun sagde: »Nej, Broder! Krænk mig ikke! Saaledes gør man ikke i Israel! Øv dog ikke denne Skændselsdaad!
And she says to him, “No, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not do this folly.
13 Hvor skulde jeg gaa hen med min Skam? Og du vilde blive regnet blandt Daarer i Israel! Tal hellere med Kongen; han nægter dig ikke at faa mig!«
And I—to where do I cause my reproach to go? And you are as one of the fools in Israel; and now, please speak to the king; for he does not withhold me from you.”
14 Han, vilde dog ikke høre hende, men tog hende med Vold, krænkede hende og laa hos hende.
And he has not been willing to listen to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbles her, and lies with her.
15 Men bagefter hadede Amnon hende med et saare stort Had; ja det Had, han følte mod hende, var større end den Kærlighed, han havde baaret til hende. Og Amnon sagde til hende: »Staa op og gaa din Vej!«
And Amnon hates her—a very great hatred—that greater [is] the hatred with which he has hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon says to her, “Rise, go.”
16 Da sagde hun til ham: »Nej, Broder! Den Udaad, at du nu jager mig bort, er endnu større end den anden, du øvede imod mig!« Han vilde dog ikke høre hende,
And she says to him, “Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that you have done with me—to send me away”; and he has not been willing to listen to her,
17 men kaldte paa den unge Mand, der var hans Tjener, og sagde: »Faa mig hende der ud af Huset og stæng Døren efter hende!«
and calls his young man, his servant, and says, “Now send this one away from me outside, and bolt the door after her.”
18 Hun bar en fodsid Kjortel med Ærmer; thi saaledes klædte Jomfruerne blandt Kongedøtrene sig fordum. Tjeneren førte hende da ud af Huset og stængede Døren efter hende.
And a long coat [is] on her, for such upper robes daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on—and his servant takes her outside, and has bolted the door after her.
19 Men Tamar strøede Aske paa sit Hoved og sønderrev den fodside Kjortel, hun havde paa, og tog sig til Hovedet og skreg ustandseligt, medens hun gik bort.
And Tamar takes ashes for her head, and has torn the long coat that [is] on her, and puts her hand on her head, and goes, going on and crying;
20 Da sagde hendes Broder Absalom til hende: »Har din Broder Amnon været hos dig? Ti nu stille, Søster! Han er jo din Broder; tag dig ikke den Sag nær!« Tamar sad da ensom hen i sin Broder Absaloms Hus.
and her brother Absalom says to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? And now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] your brother; do not set your heart to this thing”; and Tamar dwells—but desolate—in the house of her brother Absalom.
21 Da Kong David hørte alt dette, blev han meget vred; men han bebrejdede ikke sin Søn Amnon noget, thi han elskede ham, fordi han var hans førstefødte.
And King David has heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;
22 Og Absalom talte ikke til Amnon, hverken ondt eller godt; thi Absalom hadede Amnon, fordi han havde krænket hans Søster Tamar.
and Absalom has not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled his sister Tamar.
23 Men et Par Aar efter holdt Absalom Faareklipning i Ba'al-Hazor, som ligger ved Efraim, og dertil indbød Absalom alle Kongesønnerne.
And it comes to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom has shearers in Ba‘al-Hazor, which [is] near Ephraim, and Absalom calls for all the sons of the king.
24 Absalom kom til Kongen og sagde: »Se, din Træl holder Faareklipning; vil ikke Kongen og hans Folk tage med din Træl derhen?«
And Absalom comes to the king and says, “Now behold, your servant has shearers, please let the king go—and his servants—with your servant.”
25 Men Kongen sagde til Absalom: »Nej, min Søn! Vi vil ikke alle gaa med, for at vi ikke skal falde dig til Byrde!« Og skønt han nødte ham, vilde han ikke gaa med, men tog Afsked med ham.
And the king says to Absalom, “No, my son, please let us not all go, and we are not too heavy on you”; and he presses on him, and he has not been willing to go, and he blesses him.
26 Da sagde Absalom: »Saa lad i alt Fald min Broder Amnon gaa med!« Men Kongen sagde til ham: »Hvorfor skal han med?«
And Absalom says, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us”; and the king says to him, “Why does he go with you?”
27 Da Absalom nødte ham, lod han dog Amnon og de andre Kongesønner gaa med. Og Absalom gjorde et kongeligt Gæstebud.
And Absalom urges for him, and he sends Amnon and all the sons of the king with him.
28 Men Absalom gav sine Folk den Befaling: »Pas paa, naar Vinen er gaaet Amnon til Hovedet; naar jeg saa siger til eder: Hug Amnon ned! dræb ham saa! Frygt ikke; det er mig, som befaler jer det. Tag Mod til jer og vis jer som kække Mænd!«
And Absalom commands his young men, saying, “Now see, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said to you, Strike Amnon, that you have put him to death; do not fear; is it not because I have commanded you? Be strong, indeed, become sons of valor.”
29 Absaloms Folk gjorde ved Amnon, som Absalom havde befalet. Da brød alle Kongesønnerne op, besteg deres Muldyr og flyede.
And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and all the sons of the king rise, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.
30 Medens de endnu var undervejs, naaede det Rygte David: »Absalom har hugget alle Kongesønnerne ned, ikke en eneste er tilbage af dem!«
And it comes to pass—they [are] in the way—and the report has come to David, saying, “Absalom has struck all the sons of the king, and there is not left [even] one of them”;
31 Da stod Kongen op, sønderrev sine Klæder og lagde sig paa Jorden; ogsaa alle hans Folk, som stod hos, sønderrev deres Klæder.
and the king rises, and tears his garments, and lies on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] torn garments.
32 Men Jonadab Davids Broder Sjim'as Søn, tog til Orde og sagde: »Min Herre maa ikke tro, at de har dræbt alle de unge Kongesønner; kun Amnon er død, thi der har været noget ved Absaloms Mund, som ikke varslede godt, lige siden den Dag Amnon krænkede hans Søster Tamar.
And Jonadab son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answers and says, “Do not let 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 it has been appointed by the command of Absalom from the day of his humbling his sister Tamar;
33 Derfor maa min Herre Kongen ikke, tage sig det nær og tro, at alle Kongesønnerne er døde. Kun Amnon er død!«
and now, do not let my lord the king lay the word to his heart, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [is] dead.”
34 Da den unge Mand, som holdt Udkig, saa ud, fik han Øje paa en Mængde Mennesker, som kom ned ad Skraaningen paa Vejen til Horonajim, og han gik ind og meldte Kongen: »Jeg kan se, der kommer Mennesker ned ad Bjergsiden paa Vejen til Horonajim.«
And Absalom flees, and the young man who is watching lifts up his eyes and looks, and behold, many people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.
35 Da sagde Jonadab til Kongen: »Der kommer Kongesønnerne; det er, som din Træl sagde!«
And Jonadab says to the king, “Behold, the sons of the king have come; as the word of your servant, so it has been.”
36 Og som han havde sagt det, kom Kongesønnerne, og de brast i Graad; ogsaa Kongen og alle hans Folk brast i heftig Graad.
And it comes to pass at his finishing to speak, that behold, 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 Men Absalom flygtede og begav sig til Kong Talmaj, Ammihuds Søn, i Gesjur. Og Kongen sørgede over sin Søn i al den Tid.
And Absalom has fled, and goes to Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourns for his son all the days.
38 Da Absalom flygtede, begav han sig til Gesjur, og der blev han tre Aar.
And Absalom has fled, and goes to Geshur, and is there [for] three years;
39 Men Kongen begyndte at længes inderligt efter Absalom, thi han havde trøstet sig over Amnons Død.
and King David determines to go out to Absalom, for he has been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
