2 Samuel 13
1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
E aconteceu depois disto que, tendo Absalão, filho de David, uma irmã formosa, cujo nome era Tamar, Amnon, filho de David, amou-a.
2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.
E angustiou-se Amnon, até adoecer, por Tamar, sua irmã, porque era virgem: e parecia aos olhos de Amnon dificultoso fazer-lhe coisa alguma.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtle 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 are you, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? will you not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.
O qual lhe disse: Porque tu de manhã em manhã tanto emagreces, sendo filho do rei? não mo farás saber a mim? Então lhe disse Amnon: Amo a Tamar, irmã de Absalão, meu irmão,
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lay you down on your bed, and make yourself sick: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, I pray you, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
E Jonadab lhe disse: Deita-te na tua cama, e finge-te doente; e, quando teu pai 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 himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said to the king, I pray you, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
Deitou-se pois Amnon, e fingiu-se doente; e, vindo o rei visita-lo, 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 Tamar, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat.
Mandou então David a casa, a Tamar, dizendo: vai a casa de Amnon, teu irmão, e faze-lhe alguma comida.
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
E foi Tamar a casa de Amnon, seu irmão (ele porém estava deitado), e tomou massa, e a amassou, e fez bolos diante dos seus olhos, e cozeu os bolos.
9 And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
E tomou a sertã, e os tirou diante dele; porém ele recusou comer. E disse Amnon: Fazei retirar a todos da minha presença. E todos se retiraram dele.
10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of your hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
Então disse Amnon a Tamar: Traze a comida à câmara, e comerei da tua mão. E tomou Tamar os bolos que fizera, e os trouxe a Amnon, seu irmão, à câmara.
11 And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come lie with me, my sister.
E chegando-lhos, para que comesse, pegou dela, e disse-lhe: Vem, deita-te comigo, irmã minha.
12 And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing should to be done in Israel: do not you this folly.
Porém ela lhe disse: Não, irmão meu, não me forces, porque não se faz assim em Israel; não faças tal loucura.
13 And I, where shall I cause my shame to go? and as for you, you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray you, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.
Porque, aonde iria eu com a minha vergonha? E tu serias como um dos loucos de Israel. Agora, pois, peço-te que fales ao rei, porque não me negará a ti
14 However, he would not listen to her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
Porém ele não quis dar ouvidos à sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ela, a forçou, e se deitou com ela.
15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that 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.
Depois Amnon a aborreceu com grandíssimo 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 vai-te.
16 And she said to him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that you did to me. But he would not listen to her.
Então ela lhe disse: Não há razão de me despedires assim; maior seria este mal do que o outro que já me tens feito. Porém não lhe quis dar ouvidos.
17 Then he called his servant that ministered to him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
E chamou a seu moço que o servia, e disse: Deita a esta fora, e fecha a porta após ela.
18 And she had a garment of divers colors on her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
E trazia ela uma roupa de muitas cores (porque assim se vestiam as filhas virgens dos reis, com capas), e seu criado a deitou fora, e fechou a porta após ela.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
Então Tamar tomou cinza sobre a sua cabeça, e a roupa de muitas cores que trazia rasgou: e pôs as mãos sobre a cabeça, e foi-se andando e clamando.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? but hold now your peace, my sister: he is your brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
E Absalão, seu irmão, lhe disse: Esteve Amnon, teu irmão, contigo? Ora pois, irmã minha, cala-te; é teu irmão. Não se angustie o teu coração por isto. Assim ficou Tamar, e esteve solitária em casa de Absalão seu irmão
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
E, ouvindo o rei David todas estas coisas, muito se acendeu em ira.
22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Porém Absalão não falou 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 full years, that Absalom had sheep shearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
E aconteceu que, passados dois anos inteiros, Absalão tinha tosquiadores em Bal-hasor, que está junto a Ephraim: e convidou Absalão a todos os filhos do rei.
24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, your servant has sheep shearers; let the king, I beseech you, and his servants go with your servant.
E veio 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, No, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable to you. And he pressed him: however, he would not go, but blessed him.
O rei porém disse a Absalão: Não, filho meu, não vamos todos juntos, para não te sermos pezados. E instou com ele; porém ele não quis ir, mas o abençoou.
26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray you, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?
Então disse Absalão: Quando não, deixa ir conosco Amnon, meu irmão. Porém o rei lhe disse: Para que iria contigo?
27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
E, instando Absalão com ele, deixou ir com ele a Amnon, e a todos os filhos do rei.
28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark you now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
E Absalão deu ordem aos seus moços, dizendo: tomai sentido; quando o coração de Amnon estiver alegre do vinho, e eu vos disser: Feri a Amnon, então o matareis; não temais; porque porventura não sou eu quem vo-lo ordenei? esforçai-vos, e sede valentes.
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got him up on his mule, and fled.
E os moços de Absalão fizeram a Amnon como Absalão lho havia ordenado. Então todos os filhos do rei se levantaram, e montaram cada um no seu mulo, e fugiram.
30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
E aconteceu que, estando eles ainda no caminho, veio a nova a David, dizendo-se: Absalão feriu a todos os filhos do rei, e nenhum deles ficou.
31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
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 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 forced his sister Tamar.
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 the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
Não se lhe meta 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. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.
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 dele, pela banda do monte.
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as your servant said, so it is.
Então disse Jonadab ao rei: Eis aqui veem os filhos do rei: conforme à palavra de teu servo, assim sucedeu.
36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
E aconteceu que, como acabou de falar, os filhos do rei vieram, e levantaram a sua voz, e choraram: e também o rei e todos os seus servos choraram com mui grande choro.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
Assim Absalão fugiu, e se foi a Talmai, filho de Ammihur, rei de Gesur. E David trouxe dó por seu filho todos aqueles dias.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Assim Absalão fugiu, e foi para Gesur: esteve ali três anos.
39 And the soul of king David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Então tinha o rei David saudades de Absalão: porque já se tinha consolado acerca de Amnon, que era morto.
