2 Samuel 13
1 Now after these things, it happened that Amnon, the son of David, was in love with the very beautiful sister of Absalom, the son of David, and she was called Tamar.
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 he pined for her exceedingly, so much so that, out of love for her, he became ill. For, since she was a virgin, it seemed a difficulty to him that he would do anything dishonest with 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 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent 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: “Why are you becoming so thin from day to day, O son of the king? Why won’t you tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”
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 down upon your bed, and feign sickness. And when your father will come to visit you, say to him: ‘I ask you to let my sister Tamar come to me, so that she may give me food, and may make a small meal, so that I may eat it from her hand.’”
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 And so, Amnon lay down, and he began to act as if he were ill. And when the king had come to visit him, Amnon said to the king, “I beg you to let my sister Tamar come to me, and make in my sight two little portions of food, so that I take it from 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 Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him.”
E Davi enviou a Tamar a sua casa, dizendo: Vai agora à casa de teu irmão Amnom, e faze-lhe de comer.
8 And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.
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 taking what she had cooked, she poured it out, and she set it before him. But he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Send everyone away from me.” And when they had sent everyone away,
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 Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat from your hand.” Therefore, Tamar took the little portions of food that she had made, and she brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
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 when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “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 She answered him: “Do not do so, my brother! Do not force me. For no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not choose to do this senseless act.
Ela então lhe respondeu: Não, meu irmão, não me forces; porque não se deve assim com Israel. Não faças tal erro.
13 For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to 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 he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.
Mas ele não a quis ouvir; antes podendo mais que ela a forçou, e lançou-se com ela.
15 And Amnon held hatred for her with an exceedingly great hatred, so much so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Amnon said to her, “Rise up, and go away.”
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 she answered him, “This evil is greater, which you are now doing against me in driving me away, than what you did before.” But he was not willing to listen to her.
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 Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind her.”
Antes, chamando seu criado que lhe servia, disse: Lança-me esta ali fora, e fecha a porta atrás dela.
18 Now she was clothed with an ankle-length robe. For the virgin daughters of the king made use of this kind of garment. And so, his servant cast her out, and he closed the door behind 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 she sprinkled ashes upon her head, and she tore her ankle-length robe. And placing her hands upon her head, she went forth, walking and crying out.
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 Then her brother Absalom said to her: “Has your brother Amnon lain with you? But now, sister, be quiet. For he is your brother. And you should not afflict your heart because of this matter.” And so, Tamar remained, wasting away in the house of her brother Absalom.
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 when king David had heard about these things, he was deeply grieved. But he was not willing to afflict the spirit of his son Amnon. For he loved him, since he was his firstborn.
E logo que o rei Davi ouviu tudo isto, foi muito irritado.
22 Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.
Mas Absalão não falou com Amnom nem mal nem bem, ainda que Absalão aborrecesse a Amnom, porque havia forçado a Tamar sua irmã.
23 Then, after the time of two years, it happened that the sheep of Absalom were being shorn in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.
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 he went to the king, and he said to him: “Behold, the sheep of your servant are being shorn. I ask that the king, with his servants, may come to his 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 Absalom: “Do not, my son, do not choose to ask that we may all come and be a burden to you.” Then, after he urged him, and he had refused to go, he 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 Absalom said, “If you are not willing to come, I beg you, at least let my brother Amnon come with us.” And the king said to him, “It is not necessary that 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 But Absalom pressed him, and so he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king. And Absalom made a feast, like the feast of a king.
E como Absalão o importunou, deixou ir com ele a Amnom e a todos os filhos do rei.
28 Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying: “Observe when Amnon will have become drunk with wine. And when I say to you, ‘Strike and kill him!’ do not be afraid. For it is I who commands you. Be strong and valiant men.”
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 Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon 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 while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”
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 And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near 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 But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
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 Now therefore, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ For only Amnon 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 Now Absalom fled. And the young man keeping watch, lifted up his eyes and gazed out. And behold, many people were arriving along a remote road at 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 sons of the king are here. In accord with the word of your servant, so it has happened.”
E disse Jonadabe ao rei: Eis ali os filhos do rei que vem: é assim como teu servo disse.
36 And when he had ceased speaking, the sons of the king also appeared. And entering, they lifted up their voice, and they wept. And the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceedingly 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 Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.
Mas Absalão fugiu, e foi-se a Talmai filho de Amiur, rei de Gesur. E Davi chorava por seu filho todos os dias.
38 Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for three years.
E depois que Absalão fugiu e se foi a Gesur, esteve ali três anos.
39 And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.
E o rei Davi desejou ver a Absalão: porque já estava consolado acerca de Amnom que era morto.
