2 Samuel 13
1 David's son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar, and another of David's sons, Amnon, fell in love with 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 Amnon became so infatuated with his sister Tamar that he felt sick. She was a virgin, and Amnon saw it was impossible for him to have 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 However, Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, and he was the son of David's brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very cunning man.
Amnon berteman akrab dengan sepupunya yang sangat cerdik, namanya Yonadab. Yonadab adalah anak Simea, saudara Daud.
4 He asked Amnon, “Why are you, the king's son, so down every morning? Why don't you tell me what's wrong?” “I'm in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister,” Amnon replied.
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 “Lie down on your bed and pretend you're sick,” Jonadab told him. “When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please have my sister Tamar come and give me some food to eat. She can make it as I watch and she can hand it to me.’”
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 pretended to be sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon asked him, “Please have my sister Tamar come and make a couple of pancakes as I watch, and she can hand them to me to eat.”
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 Then David sent a message to Tamar at the palace: “Please be so kind as to go to the house of your brother Amnon and make him some food.”
Lalu Daud mengirim pesan kepada Tamar, “Pergilah ke rumah kakakmu Amnon dan siapkanlah makanan untuk dia.”
8 So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon to where he was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, and cooked the pancakes as he watched.
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 Then she took the pan and emptied it out before him, but he refused to eat. “Everybody leave me!” Amnon shouted. Everyone left.
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 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food here into my bedroom so you can hand it to me to eat.” So Tamar took the pancakes she had made to her brother Amnon in his bedroom.
Kemudian Amnon berkata kepada Tamar, “Bawalah roti itu ke kamarku dan suapilah aku.” Maka Tamar melakukannya.
11 But as she handed him the food, he grabbed hold of her, and said, “Come to bed with me, my sister!”
Tetapi saat Tamar berada di sampingnya, Amnon menariknya dan berkata, “Adikku, marilah tidur denganku!”
12 “No, you're my brother!” she exclaimed. “Don't rape me! That's not what we do in Israel! Don't do something so shameful!
Kata Tamar kepadanya, “Tidak, kakakku! Jangan memaksa aku melakukan hal sehina itu! Kejahatan seperti ini tidak boleh dilakukan di Israel!
13 Stop and think about me! How could I bear such a disgrace? Think about yourself too! You'd be treated with contempt as a complete fool in Israel! Please talk with the king, for he won't stop you marrying me.”
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 Amnon wouldn't to listen to her, and because he was stronger than she was, he raped her.
Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan Tamar, dan karena dia lebih kuat daripada Tamar, maka dia memaksa dan memperkosa Tamar.
15 Then Amnon hated Tamar with immense hatred. His hatred was so strong that it was greater than the love he'd had before. “Get up! Get lost!” he told her.
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 “No! Don't do this!” she answered. “Sending me away in disgrace would be an even greater evil than what you've already done to me.” But he wouldn't listen 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 He called for his servant and said, “Get rid of this woman and lock the door behind her!”
Amnon memanggil budaknya dan berkata, “Keluarkan perempuan ini dari sini dan kunci pintunya!”
18 So his servant threw her out and locked the door behind her. Tamar was wearing the long robe of a princess, which is what the king's virgin daughters wore.
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 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her long robe. She put her hands on her head, she went away crying loudly.
20 Her brother Absalom found her and asked, “Has brother Amnon been with you? Keep quiet for the moment, my sister. He's your brother. Don't be so upset about it.” So Tamar lived as a ruined and abandoned woman in her brother Absalom's home.
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 When King David heard about it, 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 Absalom didn't talk to Amnon at all because he hated Amnon for raping his sister Tamar.
Sesudah itu Absalom tidak pernah berkata apa-apa kepada Amnon, tetapi dia menyimpan dendam terhadap Amnon karena sudah memperkosa adiknya.
23 Some two years later, when his sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, Absalom invited all the king's sons to join the celebrations.
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 He went to the king and said, “I, your servant, have hired shearers. Would the king and his servants please join me?”
Absalom juga menemui raja dan berkata, “Ayah, aku mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba. Aku mohon ayah dan para pejabatmu menghadirinya.”
25 “No, my son,” the king replied, “we can't all go. We would be a burden to you.” Even though Absalom went on asking, he was not willing to go, but he did give Absalom his blessing.
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 “Well then, at least let my brother Amnon join us,” Absalom responded. “Why do you want him to go?” the king asked.
Lalu kata Absalom, “Jika raja tidak pergi, izinkanlah kakakku Amnon pergi bersama kami.” Raja menjawab, “Mengapa meminta dia untuk ikut bersamamu?”
27 But Absalom kept on asking, so the king sent Amnon and his other sons.
Karena Absalom terus mendesak, akhirnya Daud mengizinkan semua anak laki-lakinya pergi bersama Absalom, termasuk Amnon.
28 Absalom gave orders to his men, saying, “Pay attention! When Amnon is feeling happy from drinking wine and I tell you, ‘Attack Amnon!’ then kill him. Don't be afraid. I myself am giving you this order. Be strong and be brave.”
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 So Absalom's men did what Absalom had ordered and killed Amnon. Then all the rest of the king's sons jumped up, got on their mules, and ran away.
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 While they were on their way back, David received a message, “Absalom has killed all the king's sons—there's not a single one 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 The king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground. All his officials stood beside him with their clothes torn.
Lalu raja berdiri, merobek pakaiannya, dan merebahkan diri di lantai. Semua pejabatnya juga ikut merobek pakaian mereka.
32 But Jonadab, son of David's brother Shimeah, told them: “Your Majesty must not think they have killed all the king's sons—only Amnon is dead. Absalom has been planning ever since the day Amnon raped 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 So, Your Majesty, please don't believe the report that all the king's sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
Janganlah Tuanku percaya pada berita yang mengatakan, ‘Semua anak laki-laki raja terbunuh,’ sebab hanya Amnon yang mati.”
34 In the meantime, Absalom had run away. When the watchman in Jerusalem looked out, he saw a large crowd coming along the road west of him, down the side of the hill.
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 Jonadab told the king, “Can you see? The king's sons are arriving! It's exactly as your servant said.”
Lalu Yonadab berkata, “Tuanku, lihatlah! Anak-anakmu sedang berdatangan, seperti yang saya katakan!”
36 As he finished speaking, the king's sons came in, crying and wailing. Then the king and all his officials also cried loudly.
Baru saja Yonadab selesai bicara, semua anak laki-laki raja tiba sambil meratap. Raja dan seluruh pejabatnya juga menangis keras-keras.
37 Absalom ran away to Talmai, son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Every day David mourned for his son Amnon.
Daud berdukacita begitu lama karena kematian Amnon. Absalom melarikan diri kepada kakeknya, raja Talmai, anak Amihud, di Gesur.
38 After Absalom had run away to Geshur, he remained there for three years.
Absalom tinggal di Gesur selama tiga tahun.
39 King David longed to go and see Absalom, for he had finished grieving over the death of Amnon.
Ketika Daud sudah tidak berduka atas kematian Amnon, dia mulai rindu bertemu lagi dengan Absalom.
