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.

Sesudah itu terjadilah yang berikut. Absalom bin Daud mempunyai seorang adik perempuan yang cantik, namanya Tamar; dan Amnon bin Daud jatuh cinta kepadanya.

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.

Hati Amnon sangat tergoda, sehingga ia jatuh sakit karena Tamar, saudaranya itu, sebab anak perempuan itu masih perawan dan menurut anggapan Amnon mustahil untuk melakukan sesuatu terhadap dia.

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.

Amnon mempunyai seorang sahabat bernama Yonadab, anak Simea kakak Daud. Yonadab itu seorang yang sangat cerdik.

4 And he said to him, What ails you that you are thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? will you not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.

Katanya kepada Amnon: "Hai anak raja, mengapa engkau demikian merana setiap pagi? Tidakkah lebih baik engkau memberitahukannya kepadaku?" Kata Amnon kepadanya: "Aku cinta kepada Tamar, adik perempuan Absalom, saudaraku itu."

5 And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon your bed, and make yourself sick, and your father shall come in to see you; and you shall say to him, Let, I pray you, 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.

Lalu berkatalah Yonadab kepadanya: "Berbaringlah di tempat tidurmu dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Apabila ayahmu datang menengok engkau, maka haruslah engkau berkata kepadanya: Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang memberi aku makan. Apabila ia menyediakan makanan di depan mataku, sehingga aku dapat melihatnya, maka aku akan memakannya dari tangannya."

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 you, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.

Sesudah itu berbaringlah Amnon dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Ketika raja datang menengok dia, berkatalah Amnon kepada raja: "Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang membuat barang dua kue di depan mataku, supaya aku memakannya dari tangannya."

7 And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to your brother's house, and dress him food.

Lalu Daud menyuruh orang kepada Tamar, ke rumahnya, dengan pesan: "Pergilah ke rumah Amnon, kakakmu dan sediakanlah makanan baginya."

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.

Maka Tamar pergi ke rumah Amnon, kakaknya, yang sedang berbaring-baring, lalu anak perempuan itu mengambil adonan, meremasnya dan membuat kue di depan matanya, kemudian dibakarnya kue itu.

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.

Sesudah itu gadis itu mengambil kuali dan mengeluarkan isinya di depan Amnon, tetapi ia tidak mau makan. Berkatalah Amnon: "Suruhlah setiap orang keluar meninggalkan aku." Lalu keluarlah setiap orang meninggalkan dia.

10 And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of your hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.

Lalu berkatalah Amnon kepada Tamar: "Bawalah makanan itu ke dalam kamar, supaya aku memakannya dari tanganmu." Tamar mengambil kue yang disediakannya itu, lalu membawanya kepada Amnon, kakaknya, ke dalam kamar.

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.

Ketika gadis itu menghidangkannya kepadanya supaya ia makan, dipegangnyalah gadis itu dan berkata kepadanya: "Marilah tidur dengan aku, adikku."

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.

Tetapi gadis itu berkata kepadanya: "Tidak kakakku, jangan perkosa aku, sebab orang tidak berlaku seperti itu di Israel. Janganlah berbuat noda seperti itu.

13 And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray you, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from you.

Dan aku, ke manakah kubawa kecemaranku? Dan engkau ini, engkau akan dianggap sebagai orang yang bebal di Israel. Oleh sebab itu, berbicaralah dengan raja, sebab ia tidak akan menolak memberikan aku kepadamu."

14 But Amnon would not listen to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.

Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan perkataannya, dan sebab ia lebih kuat dari padanya, diperkosanyalah dia, lalu tidur dengan dia.

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.

Kemudian timbullah kebencian yang sangat besar pada Amnon terhadap gadis itu, bahkan lebih besar benci yang dirasanya kepada gadis itu dari pada cinta yang dirasanya sebelumnya. Lalu Amnon berkata kepadanya: "Bangunlah, enyahlah!"

16 And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, [said she], than the other that you did me, to send me away: but Amnon would not listen to her voice.

Lalu berkatalah gadis itu kepadanya: "Tidak kakakku, sebab menyuruh aku pergi adalah lebih jahat dari pada apa yang telah kaulakukan kepadaku tadi." Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan dia.

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.

Dipanggilnya orang muda yang melayani dia, katanya: "Suruhlah perempuan ini pergi dari padaku dan kuncilah pintu di belakangnya."

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.

Gadis itu memakai baju kurung yang maha indah; sebab demikianlah puteri-puteri raja yang masih perawan berpakaikan baju kurung panjang. Kemudian pelayan itu menyuruh dia keluar, lalu mengunci pintu di belakangnya.

19 And Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she tore the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.

Lalu Tamar menaruh abu di atas kepalanya, mengoyakkan baju kurung yang maha indah yang dipakainya, meletakkan tangannya di atas kepalanya dan pergilah ia sambil meratap dengan nyaring.

20 And Abessalom her brother said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is your brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar lived as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.

Bertanyalah Absalom, kakaknya, kepadanya: "Apakah Amnon, kakakmu itu, bersetubuh dengan engkau? Maka sekarang, adikku, diamlah saja, bukankah ia kakakmu, janganlah begitu memikirkan perkara itu." Lalu Tamar tinggal di rumah Absalom, kakaknya itu, seorang diri.

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 firstborn.

Ketika segala perkara itu didengar raja Daud sangat marahlah ia.

22 And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.

Dan Absalom tidak berkata-kata dengan Amnon, baik tentang yang jahat maupun tentang yang baik, tetapi Absalom membenci Amnon, sebab ia telah memperkosa Tamar, adiknya.

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.

Sesudah lewat dua tahun, Absalom mengadakan pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor yang dekat kota Efraim. Lalu Absalom mengundang semua anak raja.

24 And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, your servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with your servant.

Kemudian Absalom menghadap raja, lalu berkata: "Hambamu ini mengadakan pengguntingan bulu domba. Kiranya raja dan pegawai-pegawainya ikut bersama-sama dengan hambamu ini."

25 And the king said to Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to you. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.

Tetapi raja berkata kepada Absalom: "Maaf, anakku, jangan kami semua pergi, supaya kami jangan menyusahkan engkau." Lalu Absalom mendesak, tetapi raja tidak mau pergi, ia hanya memberi restu kepadanya.

26 And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let I pray you, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?

Kemudian berkatalah Absalom: "Kalau tidak, izinkanlah kakakku Amnon pergi beserta kami." Tetapi raja menjawabnya: "Apa gunanya ia pergi bersama-sama dengan engkau?"

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.

Tetapi ketika Absalom mendesak, diizinkannyalah Amnon dan semua anak raja pergi beserta dia.

28 And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Strike Amnon, and kill him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.

Lalu Absalom memerintahkan orang-orangnya, demikian: "Perhatikan! Apabila hati Amnon menjadi gembira karena anggur, dan aku berkata kepadamu: Paranglah Amnon, maka haruslah kamu membunuh dia. Jangan takut. Bukankah aku yang memerintahkannya kepadamu? Kuatkanlah hatimu dan tunjukkanlah dirimu sebagai orang yang gagah perkasa!"

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.

Orang-orang Absalom memperlakukan Amnon seperti yang diperintahkan Absalom. Lalu bangunlah semua anak raja itu, mereka menaiki bagalnya masing-masing dan melarikan diri.

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.

Mereka masih di tengah jalan, ketika kabar sampai kepada Daud, demikian: "Absalom telah membunuh semua anak raja, tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang lolos."

31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him tore their garments.

Lalu bangunlah raja, dikoyakkannya pakaiannya dan berbaring di lantai, dan semua pegawainya yang hadir padanya mengoyakkan pakaian mereka.

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.

Maka berbicaralah Yonadab, anak Simea, kakak Daud, katanya: "Janganlah tuanku menyangka, bahwa semua orang muda anak-anak raja itu, telah dibunuh. Hanya Amnon yang mati, sebab hal itu telah terlihat pada air muka Absalom, sejak Amnon memperkosa Tamar, adiknya.

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.

Jadi, janganlah tuanku raja menaruh pikiran dalam hatinya, bahwa semua anak raja itu sudah mati, sebab hanya Amnon yang mati."

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.

Absalom melarikan diri. Ketika orang yang berjaga-jaga melayangkan pandangnya, maka terlihatlah olehnya sejumlah besar orang datang dari jurusan Horonaim, sepanjang sisi pegunungan.

35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of your servant, so has it happened.

Berkatalah Yonadab kepada raja: "Lihat, anak-anak raja datang! Benar seperti kata hambamu ini."

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.

Baru saja ia habis berkata, datanglah anak-anak raja itu. Mereka menangis dengan suara nyaring. Juga raja dan semua pegawainya menangis dengan amat keras.

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.

Absalom telah melarikan diri dan telah pergi kepada Talmai bin Amihur, raja negeri Gesur. Dan Daud berdukacita berhari-hari lamanya karena anaknya itu.

38 So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.

Absalom telah melarikan diri dan telah pergi ke Gesur; ia tinggal di sana tiga tahun lamanya.

39 And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.

Lalu raja tidak lagi marah terhadap Absalom, sebab kesedihan hatinya karena kematian Amnon telah surut.
