< Kings II 13 >
1 And it happened after this that Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name [was] Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
Nangyari na pagkatapos nito labis na naakit si Amnon anak na lalaki ni David, kay Tamar na kaniyang kapatid na babae sa ama na kapatid na babaeng buo ni Absalom, isa pa sa mga anak na lalaki ni David.
2 And Amnon was distressed even to sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it seemed very difficult for Amnon to do anything to her.
Bigong-bigo si Amnon na nagkasakit siya dahil sa kaniyang kapatid na babae sa ama na si Tamar. Isa siyang birhen at tila malayong makagawa ng anumang bagay si Amnon sa kaniya.
3 And Amnon had a friend, and his name [was] Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and Jonadab [was] a very cunning man.
Pero may kaibigan si Amnon na ang pangalan ay si Jonadab anak na lalaki ni Simea, kapatid na lalaki ni David. Isang tusong lalaki si Jonadab.
4 And he said to him, What ails thee that thou art thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? wilt thou not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.
Sinabi ni Jonadab kay Amnon, “Bakit, nalulumbay ka bawat umaga, anak ng hari? Hindi mo ba sasabihin sa akin?” Kaya sumagot si Amnon sa kaniya, “Umiibig ako kay Tamar, kapatid na babae ng aking kapatid na si Absalom.”
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon thy bed, and make thyself sick, and thy father shall come in to see thee; and thou shalt say to him, Let, I pray thee, Themar my sister come, and feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may see and eat at her hands.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jonadab sa kaniya, “Humiga ka sa iyong higaan at magkunwaring may sakit. Kapag dumating ang iyong ama para makita ka, hingin sa kanya, 'Pakiusap, maaari mo bang papuntahin ang aking kapatid na babaeng si Tamar para bigyan ako ng isang bagay na makakain at lutuin ito sa aking harapan, para maaari ko itong makita at kainin mula sa kaniyang kamay?'”
6 So Ammon lay down, and made himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray thee, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.
Kaya humiga si Amnon at nagkunwaring may sakit. Nang dumating ang hari para makita siya, sinabi ni Amnon sa hari, “Pakiusap, papuntahin mo ang aking kapatid na babaeng si Tamar para maghanda ng pagkain sa aking harapan para sa aking sakit upang makakain ako mula sa kaniyang kamay.”
7 And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to thy brother's house, and dress him food.
Pagkatapos nagpadala ng salita si David kay Tamar sa kaniyang palasyo na nagsasabing, “Pumunta ka ngayon sa bahay ng iyong kapatid na lalaking si Amnon at maghanda ng pagkain para sa kaniya.”
8 And Themar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he [was] lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
Kaya pumunta si Tamar sa bahay ng kaniyang kapatid na lalaking si Amnon kung saan siya nakahiga. Kumuha siya ng masa at minasa ito at hinulmang tinapay sa kaniyang paningin at pagkatapos hinurno niya ito.
9 And she took the frying pan and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.
Kinuha niya ang kawali at ibinigay ang tinapay sa kaniya, pero tumanggi siyang kumain. Pagkatapos sinabi ni Amnon sa ibang nandoon, “Palabasin ang lahat, palayo sa akin.” Kaya umalis ang lahat mula sa kaniya.
10 And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of thy hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.
Kaya sinabi ni Amnon kay Tamar, “Dalhin ang pagkain sa loob ng aking silid para makakain ako mula sa iyong kamay.” Kaya kinuha ni Tamar ang tinapay na kaniyang ginawa at dinala ito sa loob ng silid ni Amnon na kaniyang kapatid.
11 And she brought [them] to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
Nang dinala niya ang pagkain sa kanya, siya'y hinawakan niya at sinabi sa kaniya, “Halika, sumiping sa akin, aking kapatid.”
12 And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.
Sumagot siya sa kaniya, “Hindi, aking kapatid, huwag mo akong pilitin, dahil walang dapat mangyaring gantong bagay sa Israel. Huwag mong gawin itong nakapanlulumong bagay!
13 And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray thee, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from thee.
Saan ako maaaring pumunta para makatakas sa kahihiyang idudulot nito sa aking buhay? At tatatakan ka ng gawaing ito bilang isang hangal na walang kahihiyan sa buong Israel. Pakiusap, hinihiling kong kausapin mo ang hari. Papayagan ka niyang pakasalan ako.”
14 But Amnon would not hearken to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.
Pero, hindi nakinig si Amnon sa kaniya. Yamang malakas siya kaysa kay Tamar, siya'y sinunggaban niya at sumiping siya sa kaniya.
15 Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and be gone.
Pagkatapos kinapootan ni Amnon si Tamar ng matinding pagkapoot. Siya'y kinapootan niya ng higit pa kaysa kaniyang paghahangad sa kaniya. Sinabi ni Amnon sa kaniya, “Bumangon ka at umalis.”
16 And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, [said she], than the other that thou didst me, to send me away: but Amnon would not hearken to her voice.
Pero sumagot siya sa kaniya. “Hindi! Dahil ang malaking kasamaang ito na pagpapaalis mo sa akin ay mas masama pa sa kung ano ang ginawa mo sa akin!” Pero hindi nakinig si Amnon sa kaniya.
17 And he called his servant who had charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this [woman] out from me, and shut the door after her.
Sa halip, tinawag niya ang kaniyang pansariling lingkod at sinabi, “Dalhin mo ang babaeng ito palayo sa akin at ikandado ang pintuan pagkaalis niya.”
18 And she had on her a variegated robe, for so were the king's daughters that were virgins attired in their apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut the door after her.
Pagkatapos dinala siya palabas ng kaniyang lingkod at kinandado ang pintuan pagkalabas niya. Suot-suot ni Tamar ang isang ginayakang balabal dahil sa ganoong paraan nagbibihis ang mga anak na babae ng hari na siyang mga birhen.
19 And Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she rent the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.
Naglagay si Tamar ng mga abo sa kaniyang ulo at pinunit ang kaniyang balabal. Nilagay niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kaniyang ulo at lumakad papalayo, umiiyak ng malakas habang umaalis.
20 And Abessalom her brother said to her, Has thy brother Amnon been with thee? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is thy brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar dwelt as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.
Sinabi sa kaniya ng kapatid niyang si Absalom, “Kinasama mo ba si Amnon ang iyong kapatid? Pero ngayon manatiling tahimik, aking kapatid. Siya ay iyong kapatid. Huwag isapuso ang bagay na ito.” Kaya mag-isang nanatili si Tamar sa bahay ni Absalom na kaniyang kapatid.
21 And king David heard of all these things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son Amnon, because be loved him, for he was his first-born.
Pero nang marinig ni David ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito, labis siyang nagalit.
22 And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.
Walang anumang sinabi si Absalom kay Amnon, dahil kinapootan siya ni Absalom dahil sa kaniyang ginawa at kung papaano niya pinahiya ang kaniyang kapatid na babaeng si Tamar.
23 And it came to pass at the end of two whole years, that they were shearing [sheep] for Abessalom in Belasor near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king's sons.
Nangyari pagkatapos ng dalawang buong taon si Absalom ay nagtrabaho bilang manggugupit ng tupa sa Baal Hazor na malapit sa Efraim at inanyayahan ni Absalom ang lahat ng mga anak na lalaki ng hari para bumisita roon.
24 And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, thy servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with thy servant.
Pumunta si Absalom sa hari at sinabi, “Tingnan mo ngayon, may mga manggugupit ng tupa ang iyong lingkod. Pakiusap, nawa'y ang hari at kaniyang mga lingkod ay sumama sa akin, iyong lingkod.”
25 And the king said to Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to thee. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.
Sumagot ang hari kay Absalom. “Hindi, aking anak, kaming lahat ay hindi dapat pumunta dahil magiging pabigat kami sa iyo.” Pinilit ni Absalom ang hari, pero ayaw niyang pumunta, gayun pa man pinagpala niya si Absalom.
26 And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let I pray thee, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Absalom, “Kung hindi, pakiusap hayaang sumama sa amin ang aking kapatid na si Amnon.” Kaya sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, “Bakit dapat sumama si Amnon sa iyo?”
27 And Abessalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king's sons; and Abessalom made a banquet like the banquet of the king.
Pinilit ni Absalom si David, kaya hinayaan niyang sumama sa kaniya si Amnon at ang lahat ng anak na lalaki ng hari.
28 And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Smite Amnon, and slay him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
Inutusan ni Absalom ang kaniyang mga lingkod na nagsasabing, “Makinig nang mabuti. Kapag nagsimula ng malasing si Amnon sa alak at kapag sinabi ko sa inyo na, 'Salakayin si Amnon,' patayin siya. Huwag matakot. Hindi ba't inutusan ko kayo? Maging magiting at matapang.”
29 And the servants of Abessalom did to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.
Kaya ginawa ng mga lingkod ni Absalom kay Amnon ang iniutos niya sa kanila. Pagkatapos tumayo ang lahat ng anak na lalaki ng hari at sumakay ang bawat lalaki sa kaniyang mola at tumakas.
30 And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
Kaya nangyari na, habang nasa daan sila, nakarating na kay David ang balita na nagsasabing, “Pinatay ni Absalom ang lahat ng anak na lalaki ng hari at walang ni isang natira sa kanila.”
31 Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him rent their garments.
Pagkatapos tumayo ang hari at pinunit ang kaniyang mga damit at humiga sa sahig; nakiisa ang lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod na pinunit ang kanilang mga damit.
32 And Jonadab the son of Samaa brother of David, answered and said, Let not my Lord the king say that he has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them all is dead; for he was appointed [to death] by the mouth of Abessalom from the day that he humbled his sister Themar.
Sumagot at sinabi ni Jehonadab anak na lalaki ni Simea, kapatid na lalaki ni David, “Huwag hayaan maniwala ang aking amo na pinatay nila ang lahat ng binatang anak ng hari, dahil si Amnon lamang ang namatay. Binalak ito ni Absalom mula sa araw na nilapastangan ni Amnon ang kaniyang kapatid na babaeng si Tamar.
33 And now let not my lord the king take the matter to heart, saying, All the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only of them is dead.
Kaya huwag hayaan ang aking panginoon na hari na isapuso ang balitang ito, na maniniwalang namatay ang lahat ng anak na lalaki ng hari, dahil si Amnon lamang ang namatay.”
34 And Abessalom escaped: and the young man the watchman, lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.
Tumakas si Absalom. Itinaas ng isang lingkod na nagbabantay ang kaniyang mga mata at nakita ang maraming taong paparating sa daan sa burol sa kanluran niya.
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of thy servant, so has it happened.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jehonadab sa hari, “Tingnan mo, paparating ang mga anak na lalaki ng hari. Kagaya ng sinabi ng iyong lingkod.”
36 And it came to pass when he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.
Kaya nangyari na pagkatapos na pagkatapos niyang magsalita dumating ang mga anak na lalaki ng hari at tumaas ang kanilang mga boses at umiyak. At ang hari at lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod ay lubhang umiyak.
37 But Abessalom fled, and went to Tholmi son of Emiud the king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and king David mourned for his son continually.
Pero tumakas si Absalom at pumunta kay Talmai anak na lalaki ni Amihud, ang hari ng Gesur. Nagluksa si David para sa kaniyang anak na lalaki bawat araw.
38 So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.
Kaya tumakas si Absalom at pumunta sa Gesur, kung saan siya nanatili sa loob ng tatlong taon.
39 And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.
Nananabik si Haring David na lumabas para makita si Absalom, dahil naglubag na ang kalooban niya tungkol kay Amnon at sa kaniyang pagkamatay.
