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.
Beberapa waktu kemudian terjadilah peristiwa berikut ini: Absalom putra Daud mempunyai saudara perempuan yang cantik bernama Tamar. Amnon, yang juga putra Daud dari istrinya yang lain, jatuh cinta kepada Tamar, adik tirinya itu.
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.
Akan tetapi, Tamar adalah seorang perawan. Karena itu Amnon tidak mendapat kesempatan untuk bertemu dengan Tamar berdua saja dan tidur dengannya. Akibat terus memikirkan hal itu, dia menjadi sangat gelisah dan murung.
3 And Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.
Amnon berteman akrab dengan sepupunya yang sangat cerdik, namanya Yonadab. Yonadab adalah anak Simea, saudara Daud.
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.
Yonadab bertanya kepada Amnon, “Hai anak raja, mengapa kamu setiap hari selalu terlihat murung? Ceritakan masalahmu kepadaku.” Jawab Amnon kepadanya, “Aku sedang jatuh cinta kepada Tamar, saudara tiriku itu.”
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.
Jawab Yonadab kepada Amnon, “Berbaringlah di tempat tidurmu dan berpura-puralah sedang sakit. Saat ayahmu datang menjengukmu, katakan padanya, ‘Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang agar dia menyiapkan makanan untukku. Biarkan dia menyiapkan makanan itu di depan mataku, agar aku bisa melihat, dan biar dia yang menyuapiku.’”
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.
Maka berbaringlah Amnon dan berpura-pura sakit. Ketika raja datang menjenguknya, Amnon berkata kepada raja, “Tolong izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang ke sini untuk membuatkan roti di hadapanku, dan supaya aku makan dari tangannya.”
7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go, I pray thee, to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.
Lalu Daud mengirim pesan kepada Tamar, “Pergilah ke rumah kakakmu Amnon dan siapkanlah makanan untuk dia.”
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.
Jadi Tamar membawa adonan roti ke rumah Amnon, kakaknya, yang sedang berbaring di kamarnya. Di hadapan Amnon, Tamar mengolah adonan itu dan membuat beberapa roti di panci penggorengan.
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.
Saat semua roti sudah dimasak dan Tamar menghidangkannya, Amnon menolak untuk makan. Kata Amnon kepada para budak laki-lakinya, “Keluar kalian semua dari sini!” Mereka pun keluar, dan hanya Tamar yang tinggal bersamanya.
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.
Kemudian Amnon berkata kepada Tamar, “Bawalah roti itu ke kamarku dan suapilah aku.” Maka Tamar melakukannya.
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.
Tetapi saat Tamar berada di sampingnya, Amnon menariknya dan berkata, “Adikku, marilah tidur denganku!”
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.
Kata Tamar kepadanya, “Tidak, kakakku! Jangan memaksa aku melakukan hal sehina itu! Kejahatan seperti ini tidak boleh dilakukan di Israel!
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.
Pikirkanlah tentang aku! Noda dosa ini akan mencemari namaku untuk selamanya! Kamu juga akan dihina sebagai orang yang paling bebal di Israel! Bicaralah dengan raja. Dia pasti akan mengizinkan kamu menikahiku.”
14 But he would not hearken to her voice, and was stronger than she, and humbled her and lay with her.
Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan Tamar, dan karena dia lebih kuat daripada Tamar, maka dia memaksa dan memperkosa Tamar.
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.
Setelah itu, tiba-tiba Amnon merasa benci terhadap Tamar, bahkan rasa benci itu melebihi perasaaan cinta sebelumnya. Lalu dia menyuruh Tamar, “Bangun dan pergilah dari sini!”
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.
Jawab Tamar, “Tidak! Mengusir aku sekarang adalah lebih jahat daripada yang baru saja kamu lakukan kepadaku!” Namun, Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan dia.
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.
Amnon memanggil budaknya dan berkata, “Keluarkan perempuan ini dari sini dan kunci pintunya!”
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.
Budak itu melakukan sesuai yang diperintahkan. Lalu Tamar menaburkan abu di atas kepalanya dan merobek gaun panjang yang dikenakannya. (Pada zaman itu, semua anak perempuan raja yang masih perawan mengenakan gaun panjang dengan pola indah.) Tamar kembali ke rumahnya sambil menutup mukanya dengan kedua tangan serta menangis pilu.
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.
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.
Setelah Absalom mendengar tentang kejadian itu, dia berkata kepada Tamar, “Aku sudah mendengar apa yang Amnon lakukan kepadamu. Tenanglah, adikku. Dia kakak tirimu. Janganlah terlalu memikirkan hal ini.” Sejak peristiwa itu, Tamar menjadi sangat sedih dan mengasingkan diri di rumah Absalom, kakaknya.
21 And king David heard of all these things, and he was very angry.
Ketika Raja Daud mendengar hal itu, dia sangat marah. Tetapi Amnon adalah anak pertama dan anak kesayangan Daud, sehingga Daud enggan membuatnya tidak enak hati.
22 And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had humbled his sister Tamar.
Sesudah itu Absalom tidak pernah berkata apa-apa kepada Amnon, tetapi dia menyimpan dendam terhadap Amnon karena sudah memperkosa adiknya.
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.
Dua tahun kemudian, ketika Absalom mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal Hazor, dekat perbatasan darerah suku Efraim, dia mengundang semua anak laki-laki raja untuk ikut perjamuannya.
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 juga menemui raja dan berkata, “Ayah, aku mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba. Aku mohon ayah dan para pejabatmu menghadirinya.”
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.
Jawab Daud, “Tidak, anakku. Janganlah kita semua pergi. Sebaiknya kami tidak membebanimu seperti itu.” Sekalipun Absalom mendesak ayahnya, Daud tetap tidak mau ikut. Daud hanya berkata, “Selamat berpesta.”
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?
Lalu kata Absalom, “Jika raja tidak pergi, izinkanlah kakakku Amnon pergi bersama kami.” Raja menjawab, “Mengapa meminta dia untuk ikut bersamamu?”
27 But Absalom pressed him; and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
Karena Absalom terus mendesak, akhirnya Daud mengizinkan semua anak laki-lakinya pergi bersama Absalom, termasuk Amnon.
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.
Absalom memerintahkan para pegawai laki-lakinya, “Dengar! Saat Amnon sudah mabuk dan saya menyuruh, ‘Bunuh dia,’ kalian harus membunuhnya. Jangan takut! Saya yang memberi perintah ini dan saya yang akan bertanggung jawab. Kuatkanlah diri kalian dan beranilah!”
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.
Maka para pegawai Absalom melakukan seperti yang sudah diperintahkan kepada mereka. Melihat pembunuhan itu, anak-anak raja yang lain menaiki bagal mereka masing-masing dan melarikan diri.
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.
Sementara mereka masih dalam perjalanan, sampailah berita kepada Daud, “Absalom sudah membunuh semua anak laki-laki raja! Tidak ada seorang pun yang selamat!”
31 Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their garments rent.
Lalu raja berdiri, merobek pakaiannya, dan merebahkan diri di lantai. Semua pejabatnya juga ikut merobek pakaian mereka.
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.
Tetapi Yonadab berkata, “Tuanku, jangan menyangka bahwa semua anak laki-lakimu sudah terbunuh. Hanya Amnon yang dibunuh. Absalom sudah merencanakan hal ini sejak Amnon memperkosa Tamar, adiknya.
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.
Janganlah Tuanku percaya pada berita yang mengatakan, ‘Semua anak laki-laki raja terbunuh,’ sebab hanya Amnon yang mati.”
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.
Ketika keadaan masih kacau, Absalom melarikan diri. Di kota Yerusalem seorang penjaga melihat ada banyak orang datang menuruni gunung dari arah Horonaim. Dia melaporkan hal itu kepada raja.
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
Lalu Yonadab berkata, “Tuanku, lihatlah! Anak-anakmu sedang berdatangan, seperti yang saya katakan!”
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.
Baru saja Yonadab selesai bicara, semua anak laki-laki raja tiba sambil meratap. Raja dan seluruh pejabatnya juga menangis keras-keras.
37 And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.
Daud berdukacita begitu lama karena kematian Amnon. Absalom melarikan diri kepada kakeknya, raja Talmai, anak Amihud, di Gesur.
38 Now Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Absalom tinggal di Gesur selama tiga tahun.
39 And king David longed to go forth to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Ketika Daud sudah tidak berduka atas kematian Amnon, dia mulai rindu bertemu lagi dengan Absalom.
