2 Samuel 13
1 And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.
E aconteceu depois d'isto que, tendo Absalão, filho de David, uma irmã formosa, cujo nome era Tamar, Amnon, filho de David, amou-a.
2 And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.
E angustiou-se Amnon, até adoecer, por Tamar, sua irmã, porque era virgem: e parecia aos olhos de Amnon difficultoso fazer-lhe coisa alguma.
3 Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:
Tinha porém Amnon um amigo, cujo nome era Jonadab, filho de Simea, irmão de David: e era Jonadab homem mui sagaz.
4 And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.
O qual lhe disse: Porque tu de manhã em manhã tanto emmagreces, sendo filho do rei? não m'o farás saber a mim? Então lhe disse Amnon: Amo a Tamar, irmã de Absalão, meu irmão,
5 And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.
E Jonadab lhe disse: Deita-te na tua cama, e finge-te doente; e, quando teu pae te vier visitar, dize-lhe: Peço-te que minha irmã Tamar venha, e me dê de comer pão, e apreste a comida diante dos meus olhos, para que eu a veja e coma da sua mão
6 So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.
Deitou-se pois Amnon, e fingiu-se doente; e, vindo o rei visital-o, disse Amnon ao rei: Peço-te que minha irmã Tamar venha, e apreste dois bolos diante dos meus olhos, que eu coma de sua mão.
7 Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
Mandou então David a casa, a Tamar, dizendo: Vae a casa de Amnon, teu irmão, e faze-lhe alguma comida.
8 And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.
E foi Tamar a casa de Amnon, seu irmão (elle porém estava deitado), e tomou massa, e a amassou, e fez bolos diante dos seus olhos, e cozeu os bolos.
9 And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,
E tomou a sertã, e os tirou diante d'elle; porém elle recusou comer. E disse Amnon: Fazei retirar a todos da minha presença. E todos se retiraram d'elle.
10 Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.
Então disse Amnon a Tamar: Traze a comida á camara, e comerei da tua mão. E tomou Tamar os bolos que fizera, e os trouxe a Amnon, seu irmão, á camara.
11 And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
E chegando-lh'os, para que comesse, pegou d'ella, e disse-lhe: Vem, deita-te comigo, irmã minha.
12 She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.
Porém ella lhe disse: Não, irmão meu, não me forces, porque não se faz assim em Israel; não faças tal loucura.
13 For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.
Porque, aonde iria eu com a minha vergonha? E tu serias como um dos loucos d'Israel. Agora, pois, peço-te que falles ao rei, porque não me negará a ti
14 But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
Porém elle não quiz dar ouvidos á sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ella, a forçou, e se deitou com ella.
15 Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.
Depois Amnon a aborreceu com grandissimo aborrecimento, porque maior era o aborrecimento com que a aborrecia do que o amor com que a amara, E disse-lhe Amnon: Levanta-te, e vae-te.
16 She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:
Então ella lhe disse: Não ha razão de me despedires assim; maior seria este mal do que o outro que já me tens feito. Porém não lhe quiz dar ouvidos.
17 But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.
E chamou a seu moço que o servia, e disse: Deita a esta fóra, e fecha a porta após ella.
18 And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.
E trazia ella uma roupa de muitas côres (porque assim se vestiam as filhas virgens dos reis, com capas), e seu creado a deitou fóra, e fechou a porta após ella.
19 And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.
Então Tamar tomou cinza sobre a sua cabeça, e a roupa de muitas côres que trazia rasgou: e poz as mãos sobre a cabeça, e foi-se andando e clamando.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.
E Absalão, seu irmão, lhe disse: Esteve Amnon, teu irmão, comtigo? Ora pois, irmã minha, cala-te; é teu irmão. Não se angustie o teu coração por isto. Assim ficou Tamar, e esteve solitaria em casa d'Absalão seu irmão
21 And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.
E, ouvindo o rei David todas estas coisas, muito se accendeu em ira.
22 But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.
Porém Absalão não fallou com Amnon, nem mal nem bem; porque Absalão aborrecia a Amnon, por ter forçado a Tamar sua irmã
23 And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:
E aconteceu que, passados dois annos inteiros, Absalão tinha tosquiadores em Bal-hasor, que está junto a Ephraim: e convidou Absalão a todos os filhos do rei.
24 And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.
E veiu Absalão ao rei, e disse: Eis que teu servo tem tosquiadores: peço que o rei e os seus servos venham com o teu servo.
25 And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.
O rei porém disse a Absalão: Não, filho meu, não vamos todos juntos, para não te sermos pezados. E instou com elle; porém elle não quiz ir, mas o abençoou.
26 And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.
Então disse Absalão: Quando não, deixa ir comnosco Amnon, meu irmão. Porém o rei lhe disse: Para que iria comtigo?
27 But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.
E, instando Absalão com elle, deixou ir com elle a Amnon, e a todos os filhos do rei.
28 And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.
E Absalão deu ordem aos seus moços, dizendo: Tomae sentido; quando o coração d'Amnon estiver alegre do vinho, e eu vos disser: Feri a Amnon, então o matareis; não temaes; porque porventura não sou eu quem vol-o ordenei? Esforçae-vos, e sede valentes.
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.
E os moços d'Absalão fizeram a Amnon como Absalão lh'o havia ordenado. Então todos os filhos do rei se levantaram, e montaram cada um no seu mulo, e fugiram.
30 And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
E aconteceu que, estando elles ainda no caminho, veiu a nova a David, dizendo-se: Absalão feriu a todos os filhos do rei, e nenhum d'elles ficou.
31 Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.
Então o rei se levantou, e rasgou os seus vestidos, e se lançou por terra: da mesma maneira todos os seus servos estavam com vestidos rotos.
32 But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.
Mas Jonadab, filho de Simea, irmão de David, respondeu, e disse: Não diga o meu senhor que mataram a todos os mancebos filhos do rei, porque só morreu Amnon: porque assim o tinha resolvido fazer Absalão, desde o dia em que forçou a Tamar sua irmã
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.
Não se lhe metta pois agora no coração do rei meu senhor tal coisa, dizendo: Morreram todos os filhos do rei: porque só morreu Amnon.
34 But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.
E Absalão fugiu: e o mancebo que estava de guarda, levantou os seus olhos, e olhou; e eis que muito povo vinha pelo caminho por detraz d'elle, pela banda do monte.
35 And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
Então disse Jonadab ao rei: Eis aqui veem os filhos do rei: conforme á palavra de teu servo, assim succedeu.
36 And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.
E aconteceu que, como acabou de fallar, os filhos do rei vieram, e levantaram a sua voz, e choraram: e tambem o rei e todos os seus servos choraram com mui grande choro.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.
Assim Absalão fugiu, e se foi a Talmai, filho d'Ammihur, rei de Gesur. E David trouxe dó por seu filho todos aquelles dias.
38 And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.
Assim Absalão fugiu, e foi para Gesur: esteve ali tres annos.
39 And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
Então tinha o rei David saudades de Absalão: porque já se tinha consolado ácerca de Amnon, que era morto.
