< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 And it comes to pass afterward that Absalom son of David has a beautiful sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loves her.
Nogen Tid efter tildrog følgende sig. Davids Søn Absalon havde en smuk Søster, som hed Tamar, og Davids Søn Amnon fattede Kærlighed til hende.
2 And Amnon has distress—even to become sick, because of his sister Tamar, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.
Amnon blev syg af Attrå efter sin Søster Tamar; thi hun var Jomfru, og Amnon øjnede ingen Mulighed for at få sin Vilje med hende.
3 And Amnon has a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,
Men Amnon havde en Ven ved Navn Jonadab, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, og denne Jonadab var en såre klog Mand;
4 and says to him, “Why [are] you thus lean, O king’s son, morning by morning? Do you not declare [it] to me?” And Amnon says to him, “Tamar—sister of my brother Absalom—I am loving.”
han sagde til ham: "Hvorfor er du så elendig hver Morgen, Kongesøn? Vil du ikke sige mig det?" Amnon svarede: "Jeg elsker min Broder Absalons Søster Tamar!"
5 And Jonadab says to him, “Lie down on your bed, and feign yourself sick, and your father has come in to see you, and you have said to him: Please let my sister Tamar come in and give me bread to eat; and she has made the food before my eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.”
Da sagde Jonadab til ham: "Læg dig til Sengs og lad, som du er syg! Når så din Fader kommer for at se til dig, skal du sige: Lad min Søster Tamar komme og give mig noget at spise! Når hun laver Maden i mit Påsyn, så at jeg kan se det, og hun selv giver mig den, kan jeg spise."
6 And Amnon lies down, and feigns himself sick, and the king comes in to see him, and Amnon says to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come, and she makes two cakes before my eyes, and I eat from her hand.”
Så gik Amnon til Sengs og lod. som han var syg; og da Kongen kom for at se til ham, sagde Amnon til Kongen: "Lad min Søster Tamar komme og lave et Par Kager i mit Påsyn og selv give mig dem: så kan jeg spise."
7 And David sends to Tamar, to the house, saying, “Now go to the house of your brother Amnon and make food for him.”
David sendte da Bud ind i Huset til Tamar og lod sige: "Gå over til din Broder Amnons Hus og lav Mad til ham!"
8 And Tamar goes to the house of her brother Amnon, and he is lying down, and she takes the dough, and kneads, and makes cakes before his eyes, and cooks the cakes,
Og Tamar gik over til sin Broder Amnons Hus, hvor han lå til Sengs, tog Dejen, æltede den og lavede Kagerne i hans Påsyn og bagte dem;
9 and takes the frying-pan, and pours out before him, and he refuses to eat, and Amnon says, “Have everyone go out from me”; and everyone goes out from him.
derpå tog hun Panden og hældte dem ud i hans Påsyn; Amnon vilde dog ikke spise, men sagde: "Lad alle gå udenfor!" Og da de alle var gået udenfor,
10 And Amnon says to Tamar, “Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from your hand”; and Tamar takes the cakes that she has made and brings [them] to her brother Amnon [in] the inner chamber,
sagde Amnon til Tamar: "Bær Maden ind i Inderværelset og lad mig få den af din egen Hånd!" Da tog Tamar Kagerne, som hun havde lavet, og bar dem ind i Inderværelset til sin Broder Amnon.
11 and she brings [them] near to him to eat, and he lays hold on her, and says to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”
Men da hun bar dem hen til ham, for at han skulde spise, greb han fat i hende og sagde: "Kom og lig hos mig, Søster!"
12 And she says to him, “No, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not do this folly.
Men hun sagde: "Nej, Broder! Krænk mig ikke! Således gør man ikke i Israel! Øv dog ikke denne Skændselsdåd!
13 And I—to where do I cause my reproach to go? And you are as one of the fools in Israel; and now, please speak to the king; for he does not withhold me from you.”
Hvor skulde jeg gå hen med min Skam? Og du vilde blive regnet blandt Dårer i Israel! Tal hellere med Kongen; han nægter dig ikke at få mig!"
14 And he has not been willing to listen to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbles her, and lies with her.
Han, vilde dog ikke høre hende, men tog hende med Vold, krænkede hende og lå hos hende.
15 And Amnon hates her—a very great hatred—that greater [is] the hatred with which he has hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon says to her, “Rise, go.”
Men bagefter hadede Amnon hende med et såre stort Had; ja det Had, han følte mod hende, var større end den Kærlighed, han havde båret til hende. Og Amnon sagde til hende: "Stå op og gå din Vej!"
16 And she says to him, “Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that you have done with me—to send me away”; and he has not been willing to listen to her,
Da sagde hun til ham: "Nej, Broder! Den Udåd, at du nu jager mig bort, er endnu større end den anden, du øvede imod mig!" Han vilde dog ikke høre hende,
17 and calls his young man, his servant, and says, “Now send this one away from me outside, and bolt the door after her.”
men kaldte på den unge Mand, der var hans Tjener, og sagde: "Få mig hende der ud af Huset og stæng Døren efter hende!"
18 And a long coat [is] on her, for such upper robes daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on—and his servant takes her outside, and has bolted the door after her.
Hun bar en fodsid Kjortel med Ærmer; thi således klædte Jomfruerne blandt Kongedøtrene sig fordum. Tjeneren førte hende da ud af Huset og stængede Døren efter hende.
19 And Tamar takes ashes for her head, and has torn the long coat that [is] on her, and puts her hand on her head, and goes, going on and crying;
Men Tamar strøede Aske på sit Hoved og sønderrev den fodside Kjortel, hun havde på, og tog sig til Hovedet og skreg ustandseligt, medens hun gik bort.
20 and her brother Absalom says to her, “Has your brother Amnon been with you? And now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] your brother; do not set your heart to this thing”; and Tamar dwells—but desolate—in the house of her brother Absalom.
Da sagde hendes Broder Absalon til hende: "Har din Broder Amnon været hos dig? Ti nu stille, Søster! Han er jo din Broder; tag dig ikke den Sag nær!" Tamar sad da ensom hen i sin Broder Absalons Hus.
21 And King David has heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;
Da Kong David hørte alt dette, blev han meget vred; men han bebrejdede ikke sin Søn Amnon noget, thi han elskede ham, fordi han var hans førstefødte.
22 and Absalom has not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled his sister Tamar.
Og Absalon talte ikke til Amnon, hverken ondt eller godt; thi Absalon hadede Amnon, fordi han havde krænket hans Søster Tamar.
23 And it comes to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom has shearers in Ba‘al-Hazor, which [is] near Ephraim, and Absalom calls for all the sons of the king.
Men et Par År efter holdt Absalon Fåreklipning i Ba'al-Hazor, som ligger ved Efraim, og dertil indbød Absalon alle Kongesønnerne.
24 And Absalom comes to the king and says, “Now behold, your servant has shearers, please let the king go—and his servants—with your servant.”
Absalon kom til Kongen og sagde: "Se, din Træl holder Fåreklipning; vil ikke Kongen og hans Folk tage med din Træl derhen?"
25 And the king says to Absalom, “No, my son, please let us not all go, and we are not too heavy on you”; and he presses on him, and he has not been willing to go, and he blesses him.
Men Kongen sagde til Absalon: "Nej, min Søn! Vi vil ikke alle gå med, for at vi ikke skal falde dig til Byrde!" Og skønt han nødte ham, vilde han ikke gå med, men tog Afsked med ham.
26 And Absalom says, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us”; and the king says to him, “Why does he go with you?”
Da sagde Absalon: "Så lad i alt Fald min Broder Amnon gå med!" Men Kongen sagde til ham: "Hvorfor skal han med?"
27 And Absalom urges for him, and he sends Amnon and all the sons of the king with him.
Da Absalon nødte ham, lod han dog Amnon og de andre Kongesønner gå med. Og Absalon gjorde et kongeligt Gæstebud.
28 And Absalom commands his young men, saying, “Now see, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said to you, Strike Amnon, that you have put him to death; do not fear; is it not because I have commanded you? Be strong, indeed, become sons of valor.”
Men Absalon gav sine Folk den Befaling: "Pas på, når Vinen er gået Amnon til Hovedet; når jeg så siger til eder: Hug Amnon ned! dræb ham så! Frygt ikke; det er mig, som befaler jer det. Tag Mod til jer og vis jer som kække Mænd!"
29 And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and all the sons of the king rise, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.
Absalons Folk gjorde ved Amnon, som Absalon havde befalet. Da brød alle Kongesønnerne op, besteg deres Muldyr og flyede.
30 And it comes to pass—they [are] in the way—and the report has come to David, saying, “Absalom has struck all the sons of the king, and there is not left [even] one of them”;
Medens de endnu var undervejs, nåede det Rygte David: "Absalon har hugget alle Kongesønnerne ned, ikke en eneste er tilbage af dem!"
31 and the king rises, and tears his garments, and lies on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] torn garments.
Da stod Kongen op, sønderrev sine Klæder og lagde sig på Jorden; også alle hans Folk, som stod hos, sønderrev deres Klæder.
32 And Jonadab son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answers and says, “Do not let my lord say, The whole of the young men, the sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone [is] dead, for it has been appointed by the command of Absalom from the day of his humbling his sister Tamar;
Men Jonadab Davids Broder Sjim'as Søn, tog til Orde og sagde: "Min Herre må ikke tro, at de har dræbt alle de unge Kongesønner; kun Amnon er død, thi der har været noget ved Absalons Mund, som ikke varslede godt, lige siden den Dag Amnon krænkede hans Søster Tamar.
33 and now, do not let my lord the king lay the word to his heart, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [is] dead.”
Derfor må min Herre Kongen ikke, tage sig det nær og tro, at alle Kongesønnerne er døde. Kun Amnon er død!"
34 And Absalom flees, and the young man who is watching lifts up his eyes and looks, and behold, many people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.
Da den unge Mand, som holdt Udkig, så ud, fik han Øje på en Mængde Mennesker, som kom ned ad Skråningen på Vejen til Horonajim, og han gik ind og meldte Kongen: "Jeg kan se, der kommer Mennesker ned ad Bjergsiden på Vejen til Horonajim."
35 And Jonadab says to the king, “Behold, the sons of the king have come; as the word of your servant, so it has been.”
Da sagde Jonadab til Kongen: "Der kommer Kongesønnerne; det er, som din Træl sagde!"
36 And it comes to pass at his finishing to speak, that behold, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept—a very great weeping.
Og som han havde sagt det, kom Kongesønnerne, og de brast i Gråd; også Kongen og alle hans folk brast i heftig Gråd.
37 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourns for his son all the days.
Men Absalon flygtede og begav sig til Kong Talmaj, Ammihuds Søn, i Gesjur. Og Kongen sørgede over sin Søn i al den Tid.
38 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Geshur, and is there [for] three years;
Da Absalon flygtede, begav han sig til Gesjur, og der blev han tre År.
39 and King David determines to go out to Absalom, for he has been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
Men Kongen begyndte at længes inderligt efter Absalon, thi han havde trøstet sig over Amnons Død.
