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.
Aconteceu depois disto, que tendo Absalão filho de Davi uma irmã bela que se chamava Tamar, apaixonou-se por ela Amnom filho de Davi.
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.
E estava Amnom angustiado até enfermar, por Tamar sua irmã: porque por ser ela virgem, parecia a Amnom que seria coisa difícil fazer-lhe algo.
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.
E Amnom tinha um amigo que se chamava Jonadabe, filho de Simeia, irmão de Davi: e era Jonadabe homem muito astuto.
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.
E este lhe disse: Filho do rei, por que de dia em dia vais assim enfraquecendo? Não o revelarás a mim? Amnom lhe respondeu: Eu amo a Tamar a irmã de Absalão meu irmão.
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.
E Jonadabe lhe disse: Deita-te em tua cama, e finge que estás enfermo; e quando teu pai vier a visitar-te, dize-lhe: Rogo-te que venha minha irmã Tamar, para que me conforte com alguma comida, e prepare diante de mim alguma iguaria, para que vendo eu, a coma de sua mão.
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.
Deitou-se, pois, Amnom, e fingiu que estava enfermo, e veio o rei: a visitar-lhe: e disse Amnom ao rei: Eu te rogo que venha minha irmã Tamar, e faça diante de mim dois bolos, que coma eu de sua mão.
7 And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to your brother's house, and dress him food.
E Davi enviou a Tamar a sua casa, dizendo: Vai agora à casa de teu irmão Amnom, e faze-lhe de comer.
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.
E foi Tamar à casa de seu irmão Amnom, o qual estava deitado; e tomou farinha, e amassou e fez bolos diante dele, e preparou-os.
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.
Tomou logo a panela, e tirou-os diante dele: mas ele não quis comer. E disse Amnom: Lançai fora daqui a todos. E todos se saíram dali.
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.
Então Amnom disse a Tamar: Traze a comida ao quarto, para que eu coma de tua mão. E tomando Tamar os pães que havia preparado, levou-os a seu irmão Amnom ao quarto.
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.
E quando ela se as pôs diante para que comesse, ele a agarrou, dizendo-lhe: Vem, irmã minha deita-te comigo.
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.
Ela então lhe respondeu: Não, meu irmão, não me forces; porque não se deve assim com Israel. Não faças tal erro.
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.
Porque onde iria eu com minha desonra? E ainda tu serias estimado como um dos perversos em Israel. Rogo-te, pois, agora, que fales ao rei, que não me negará a ti.
14 But Amnon would not listen to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.
Mas ele não a quis ouvir; antes podendo mais que ela a forçou, e lançou-se com ela.
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.
Aborreceu-a logo Amnom de tão grande aborrecimiento, que o ódio com que a aborreceu foi maior que o amor com que a havia amado. E disse-lhe Amnom: Levanta-te e vai-te.
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.
E ela lhe respondeu: Não está certo; maior mal é este de me rejeitar, que o que me fizeste. Mas ele não a quis ouvir:
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.
Antes, chamando seu criado que lhe servia, disse: Lança-me esta ali fora, e fecha a porta atrás dela.
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.
E tinha ela sobre si uma roupa de cores, traje que as filhas virgens dos reis vestiam. Lançou-a, pois, fora seu criado, e fechou a porta atrás ela.
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.
Então Tamar tomou cinza, e espalhou-a sobre sua cabeça, e rasgou sua roupa de cores de que estava vestida, e postas suas mãos sobre sua cabeça, foi-se gritando.
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.
E disse-lhe seu irmão Absalão: Esteve contigo teu irmão Amnom? Pois cala agora, irmã minha: teu irmão é; não ponhas teu coração neste negócio. E ficou Tamar desconsolada em casa de Absalão seu irmão.
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.
E logo que o rei Davi ouviu tudo isto, foi muito irritado.
22 And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.
Mas Absalão não falou com Amnom nem mal nem bem, ainda que Absalão aborrecesse a Amnom, porque havia forçado a Tamar sua irmã.
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.
E aconteceu, passados dois anos, que Absalão tinha tosquiadores em Baal-Hazor, que está junto a Efraim; e convidou Absalão a todos os filhos do rei.
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.
E veio Absalão ao rei, e disse-lhe: Eis que, teu servo tem agora tosquiadores: eu rogo que venha o rei e seus servos com teu servo.
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.
E respondeu o rei a Absalão: Não, filho meu, não vamos todos, para não sermos pesados a ti. E ainda que tenha insistido com ele, não quis ir, mas abençoou-o.
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?
Então disse Absalão: Se não, rogo-te que venha conosco Amnom meu irmão. E o rei lhe respondeu: Para que há de ir contigo?
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.
E como Absalão o importunou, deixou ir com ele a Amnom e a todos os filhos do rei.
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.
E havia Absalão dado ordem a seus criados, dizendo: Agora bem, olhai quando o coração de Amnom estará alegre do vinho, e em dizendo-vos eu: Feri a Amnom, então matai-o, e não temais; que eu vos o mandei. Esforçai-vos, pois, e sede valentes.
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.
E os criados de Absalão fizeram com Amnom como Absalão o havia mandado. Levantaram-se logo todos os filhos do rei, e subiram todos em seus mulos, e fugiram.
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.
E estando ainda eles no caminho, chegou a Davi o rumor que dizia: Absalão matou a todos os filhos do rei, que nenhum deles restou.
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.
Então levantando-se Davi, rasgou suas roupas, e lançou-se em terra, e todos os seus criados, rasgados suas roupas, estavam adiante.
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.
E Jonadabe, filho de Simeia irmão de Davi, falou e disse: Não diga meu senhor que mataram a todos os jovens filhos do rei, que somente Amnom é morto: porque em boca de Absalão estava posto desde o dia que Amnom forçou a Tamar sua irmã.
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.
Portanto, agora não ponha meu senhor o rei em seu coração essa voz que disse: Todos os filhos do rei foram mortos: porque somente Amnom é morto.
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.
Absalão fugiu logo. Entretanto, levantando seus olhos o jovem que estava de vigia olhou, e eis que muito povo vinha por detrás de si pelo caminho da lateral do monte.
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.
E disse Jonadabe ao rei: Eis ali os filhos do rei que vem: é assim como teu servo disse.
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.
E quando ele acabou de falar, eis que os filhos do rei que vieram, e levantando sua voz choraram. E também o mesmo rei e todos os seus servos choraram com muito grandes lamentos.
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.
Mas Absalão fugiu, e foi-se a Talmai filho de Amiur, rei de Gesur. E Davi chorava por seu filho todos os dias.
38 So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.
E depois que Absalão fugiu e se foi a Gesur, esteve ali três anos.
39 And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.
E o rei Davi desejou ver a Absalão: porque já estava consolado acerca de Amnom que era morto.
