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.

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 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.

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 And Amnon has a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,

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

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.”

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 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.”

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 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.”

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 And David sends to Tamar, to the house, saying, “Now go to the house of your brother Amnon and make food for him.”

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

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,

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 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.

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

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,

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 she brings [them] near to him to eat, and he lays hold on her, and says to 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 says to him, “No, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not do 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—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.”

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 And he has not been willing to listen to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbles her, and lies with her.

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

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.”

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 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,

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 and calls his young man, his servant, and says, “Now send this one away from me outside, and bolt the door after her.”

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

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.

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 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;

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

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.

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 And King David has heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;

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

22 and Absalom has not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled his sister Tamar.

Absalom dendam sekali kepada Amnon dan tidak mau lagi berbicara dengan dia karena ia telah memperkosa Tamar adiknya.

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.

Dua tahun kemudian Absalom mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor, dekat kota Efraim, dan ia mengundang semua putra raja.

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.”

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 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.

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 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?”

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

27 And Absalom urges for him, and he sends Amnon and all the sons of the king 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 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.”

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 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.

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 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”;

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

31 and the king rises, and tears his garments, and lies on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] torn garments.

Raja bangkit, lalu menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan merebahkan dirinya ke lantai. Semua pegawainya ikut menyobek pakaian mereka.

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;

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 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.”

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

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.

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 says to the king, “Behold, the sons of the king have come; as the word of your servant, so it has been.”

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

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.

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 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourns for his son all the days.

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

38 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Geshur, and is there [for] three years;

39 and King David determines to go out to Absalom, for he has been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.

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