2 Samuel 13
1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David having a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the son of David loved her.
Nogen Tid efter tildrog følgende sig. Davids Søn Absalom havde en smuk Søster, som hed Tamar, og Davids Søn Amnon fattede Kærlighed til hende.
2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed difficult for Amnon to do the least thing to her.
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.
3 And Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.
Men Amnon havde en Ven ved Navn Jonadab, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, og denne Jonadab var en saare klog Mand;
4 And he said to him, Why dost thou, the king's son, get thinner from morning to morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
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!«
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed and feign thyself sick; and when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.
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.«
6 So Amnon lay down and feigned himself sick; and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.
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.«
7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go, I pray thee, to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.
David sendte da Bud ind i Huset til Tamar og lod sige: »Gaa over til din Broder Amnons Hus og lav Mad til ham!«
8 And Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he had lain down. And she took flour and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
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;
9 And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Put every man out from me. And they went out every man from him.
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,
10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the dish into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
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.
11 And she presented them to him to eat; and he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
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!«
12 And she said to him, No, my brother, do not humble me; for no such thing is done in Israel: do not this infamy.
Men hun sagde: »Nej, Broder! Krænk mig ikke! Saaledes gør man ikke i Israel! Øv dog ikke denne Skændselsdaad!
13 And I, whither shall I carry my reproach? and thou wouldest be as one of the infamous in Israel. And now, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
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!«
14 But he would not hearken to her voice, and was stronger than she, and humbled her and lay with her.
Han, vilde dog ikke høre hende, men tog hende med Vold, krænkede hende og laa hos hende.
15 And Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.
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!«
16 And she said to him, There is no cause for this evil in sending me away, [which] is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her.
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,
17 Then he called his young man that attended upon him, and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.
men kaldte paa den unge Mand, der var hans Tjener, og sagde: »Faa mig hende der ud af Huset og stæng Døren efter hende!«
18 Now she had a vest of many colours upon her; for so were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. And his attendant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
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.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her vest of many colours which was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying out as she went.
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.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, be still: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. And Tamar remained, and [that] desolate, in her brother Absalom's house.
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.
21 And king David heard of all these things, and he was very angry.
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.
22 And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had humbled his sister Tamar.
Og Absalom talte ikke til Amnon, hverken ondt eller godt; thi Absalom hadede Amnon, fordi han havde krænket hans Søster Tamar.
23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
Men et Par Aar efter holdt Absalom Faareklipning i Ba'al-Hazor, som ligger ved Efraim, og dertil indbød Absalom alle Kongesønnerne.
24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold, now, thy servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
Absalom kom til Kongen og sagde: »Se, din Træl holder Faareklipning; vil ikke Kongen og hans Folk tage med din Træl derhen?«
25 And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.
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.
26 And Absalom said, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?
Da sagde Absalom: »Saa lad i alt Fald min Broder Amnon gaa med!« Men Kongen sagde til ham: »Hvorfor skal han med?«
27 But Absalom pressed him; and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
Da Absalom nødte ham, lod han dog Amnon og de andre Kongesønner gaa med. Og Absalom gjorde et kongeligt Gæstebud.
28 And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then slay him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
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!«
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and they rode each upon his mule and fled.
Absaloms Folk gjorde ved Amnon, som Absalom havde befalet. Da brød alle Kongesønnerne op, besteg deres Muldyr og flyede.
30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
Medens de endnu var undervejs, naaede det Rygte David: »Absalom har hugget alle Kongesønnerne ned, ikke en eneste er tilbage af dem!«
31 Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their garments rent.
Da stod Kongen op, sønderrev sine Klæder og lagde sig paa Jorden; ogsaa alle hans Folk, som stod hos, sønderrev deres Klæder.
32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he humbled his sister Tamar.
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.
33 And now let not my lord the king take the thing to heart, to say, All the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.
Derfor maa min Herre Kongen ikke, tage sig det nær og tro, at alle Kongesønnerne er døde. Kun Amnon er død!«
34 And Absalom fled. And the young man that watched lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there came much people from the way behind him, from the hill-side.
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.«
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
Da sagde Jonadab til Kongen: »Der kommer Kongesønnerne; det er, som din Træl sagde!«
36 And as soon as he had ended speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.
Og som han havde sagt det, kom Kongesønnerne, og de brast i Graad; ogsaa Kongen og alle hans Folk brast i heftig Graad.
37 And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.
Men Absalom flygtede og begav sig til Kong Talmaj, Ammihuds Søn, i Gesjur. Og Kongen sørgede over sin Søn i al den Tid.
38 Now Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Da Absalom flygtede, begav han sig til Gesjur, og der blev han tre Aar.
39 And king David longed to go forth to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Men Kongen begyndte at længes inderligt efter Absalom, thi han havde trøstet sig over Amnons Død.
