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.

Absalom putra Daud mempunyai seorang adik perempuan yang cantik, namanya Tamar. Amnon putra Daud dari istri yang lain, jatuh cinta kepada Tamar

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 any thing to her.

dan ingin tidur bersamanya. Tetapi itu mustahil baginya karena Tamar belum kawin dan tidak boleh bergaul dengan laki-laki. Amnon terus-menerus memikirkan hal itu sampai akhirnya ia jatuh sakit.

3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.

Amnon mempunyai seorang sahabat yang sangat cerdik, namanya Yonadab anak Simea abang Daud.

4 And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.

Yonadab berkata kepada Amnon, "Pangeran, mengapa setiap hari engkau kelihatan begitu sedih? Ada apa?" Jawab Amnon, "Aku jatuh cinta kepada Tamar, adik Absalom saudaraku itu."

5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, 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.

Lalu kata Yonadab kepadanya, "Itu mudah saja! Berbaringlah di tempat tidur, dan buatlah seolah-olah sedang sakit. Jika ayahmu datang menengokmu, katakan kepadanya, 'Ayah, izinkanlah Tamar datang supaya diberinya aku makan. Jika aku dapat melihat dia memasak makanan itu di sini, aku bisa makan.'"

6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.

Kemudian Amnon berbaring di tempat tidur, seolah-olah sakit. Ketika Raja Daud datang menengoknya, Amnon berkata kepadanya, "Ayah, izinkanlah Tamar datang untuk memasak kue di hadapanku di sini; nanti aku akan mau makan."

7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat.

Kemudian Daud mengirim pesan kepada Tamar di istana, katanya, "Pergilah ke rumah abangmu Amnon, dan buatlah makanan untuk dia."

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.

Lalu Tamar pergi ke sana dan mendapati Amnon berbaring di tempat tidur. Tamar mengambil sedikit adonan, lalu di depan Amnon ia menyiapkan kue untuk dipanggang.

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.

Setelah itu dikeluarkannya kue itu dari panci dan dihidangkannya. Tetapi Amnon tidak mau makan. Ia berkata, "Suruhlah semuanya keluar dari sini!"

10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

Setelah semua orang keluar dari kamar itu, berkatalah Amnon kepada Tamar, "Bawalah kue-kue itu ke mari, ke tempat tidurku, dan suapilah aku!" Tamar menurut.

11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.

Tetapi ketika Tamar mengulurkan kue itu kepadanya, Amnon memegang gadis itu sambil berkata, "Dik, mari tidur bersamaku!"

12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.

"Ah, jangan, bang!" jawab gadis itu. "Janganlah kaupaksa aku melakukan hal yang sehina itu! Hal seperti itu tak pernah dilakukan di Israel.

13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

Jika terjadi begitu, ke mana aku harus menyembunyikan mukaku? Lagipula, engkau pun akan dihina orang di Israel ini. Sebaiknya engkau bicarakanlah dengan raja, pasti raja akan setuju aku menjadi istrimu."

14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

Tetapi Amnon tidak mau menurut, dan karena ia lebih kuat, dipaksanya adiknya itu dengan kekerasan, lalu diperkosanya.

15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

Tetapi sesudah itu Amnon sangat benci kepada Tamar dan kebenciannya itu lebih besar daripada cintanya semula. Lalu ia berkata kepada adiknya itu, "Ke luar!"

16 And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.

Tamar menjawab, "Ah, mengapa begitu bang? Kalau kauusir aku, kejahatan itu lebih besar daripada hal yang telah kaulakukan tadi!" Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan.

17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.

Ia memanggil pelayan pribadinya lalu berkata, "Bawalah perempuan ini ke luar, dan kuncilah pintu!"

18 And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

Pelayan itu melakukan perintahnya itu. Pakaian Tamar adalah jubah panjang yang berlengan panjang. Pada zaman itu putri-putri yang belum kawin biasanya memakai pakaian seperti itu.

19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.

Lalu Tamar menaruh abu di kepalanya, menyobek jubahnya, dan pergi sambil menutup mukanya dengan kedua tangannya serta menangis pilu.

20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.

Ketika Absalom melihatnya, bertanyalah ia, "Apakah Amnon tadi melanggar kehormatanmu? Sudahlah adikku, jangan kaupikirkan lagi. Kan dia abangmu, jadi janganlah beritahukan hal itu kepada siapa-siapa." Lalu Tamar mengasingkan diri di rumah Absalom, dan ia sangat sedih serta kesepian.

21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.

Raja Daud mendengar tentang peristiwa itu, dan ia menjadi sangat marah.

22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

Absalom dendam sekali kepada Amnon dan tidak mau lagi berbicara dengan dia karena ia telah memperkosa Tamar 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 Absalom mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor, dekat kota Efraim, dan ia mengundang semua putra raja.

24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.

Ia menghadap Raja Daud dan berkata, "Ayah, aku mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba. Sudilah Ayah datang juga ke pesta itu dengan para pembesar istana."

25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.

Tetapi raja menjawab, "Jangan, Anakku, sebab jika kami semua datang kami akan menyusahkanmu." Absalom terus mendesak, tetapi ayahnya tetap tidak mau datang. Ia hanya memberi restu kepadanya.

26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?

Lalu berkatalah Absalom, "Kalau begitu, izinkanlah saudaraku Amnon ikut dengan kami." Kata raja, "Tak usahlah dia ikut."

27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.

Tetapi karena Absalom terus mendesak, akhirnya Daud mengizinkan Amnon dan semua putranya yang lain ikut dengan Absalom. (Lalu Absalom menghidangkan makanan yang mewah sekali.)

28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

Ia memerintahkan kepada hamba-hambanya, "Perhatikan baik-baik, jika Amnon sudah mabuk karena minum anggur, aku akan memberi aba-aba, lalu bunuhlah dia. Jangan takut. Aku yang bertanggung jawab atas hal itu. Bertindaklah dengan berani dan jangan ragu-ragu!"

29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.

Hamba-hamba itu melaksanakan perintah Absalom, lalu mereka membunuh Amnon. Melihat itu putra-putra Daud yang lain menaiki bagalnya masing-masing dan melarikan diri.

30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.

Sementara mereka masih dalam perjalanan pulang, diberitahu orang kepada Daud, "Absalom telah membunuh semua putra Baginda--tak seorang pun yang hidup!"

31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

Raja bangkit, lalu menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan merebahkan dirinya ke lantai. Semua pegawainya ikut menyobek 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 hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

Tetapi Yonadab anak Simea abang Daud berkata, "Baginda, jangan cemas dan jangan pikir bahwa semua putra Baginda sudah mati. Hanya Amnon yang tewas, sebab sudah jelas bahwa itulah yang dikehendaki Absalom sejak Tamar adiknya diperkosa oleh Amnon.

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.

Jadi janganlah percaya bahwa putra Baginda telah meninggal semua, sebab yang tewas hanyalah Amnon saja."

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.

Sementara itu Absalom telah melarikan diri. Penjaga istana Daud melihat banyak orang datang menuruni gunung dari jurusan Horonaim. Maka pergilah ia kepada raja melaporkan hal itu.

35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.

Lalu Yonadab berkata kepada Daud, "Itulah putra-putra Baginda! Betul seperti yang hamba katakan tadi."

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.

Baru saja ia selesai bicara, masuklah putra-putra Daud ke dalam ruangan. Mereka itu mulai menangis, dan Daud serta hamba-hambanya juga menangis dengan sedih.

37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

Absalom mengungsi ke istana raja negeri Gesur, yaitu Talmai anak Amihur. Ia tinggal di situ selama tiga tahun. Lama Daud berkabung untuk Amnon,

38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

39 And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

tetapi setelah Daud tak bersedih hati lagi, ia sangat merindukan Absalom.
