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.
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 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.
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 And Amnon has a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,
Amnon berteman akrab dengan sepupunya yang sangat cerdik, namanya Yonadab. Yonadab adalah anak Simea, saudara 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 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 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.”
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 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.”
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 And David sends to Tamar, to the house, saying, “Now go to the house of your brother Amnon and make food for him.”
Lalu Daud mengirim pesan kepada Tamar, “Pergilah ke rumah kakakmu Amnon dan siapkanlah 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,
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 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.
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 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,
Kemudian Amnon berkata kepada Tamar, “Bawalah roti itu ke kamarku dan suapilah aku.” Maka Tamar melakukannya.
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 saat Tamar berada di sampingnya, Amnon menariknya dan berkata, “Adikku, marilah tidur denganku!”
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.
Kata Tamar kepadanya, “Tidak, kakakku! Jangan memaksa aku melakukan hal sehina itu! Kejahatan seperti ini tidak boleh 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.”
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 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 mendengarkan Tamar, dan karena dia lebih kuat daripada Tamar, maka dia memaksa dan memperkosa Tamar.
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.”
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 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,
Jawab Tamar, “Tidak! Mengusir aku sekarang adalah lebih jahat daripada yang baru saja kamu lakukan kepadaku!” Namun, Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan dia.
17 and calls his young man, his servant, and says, “Now send this one away from me outside, and bolt the door after her.”
Amnon memanggil budaknya dan berkata, “Keluarkan perempuan ini dari sini dan kunci pintunya!”
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.
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 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;
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.
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 And King David has heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;
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 and Absalom has not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled his sister Tamar.
Sesudah itu Absalom tidak pernah berkata apa-apa kepada Amnon, tetapi dia menyimpan dendam terhadap Amnon karena sudah memperkosa 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, 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 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.”
Absalom juga menemui raja dan berkata, “Ayah, aku mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba. Aku mohon ayah dan para pejabatmu menghadirinya.”
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.
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 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 kata Absalom, “Jika raja tidak pergi, izinkanlah kakakku Amnon pergi bersama kami.” Raja menjawab, “Mengapa meminta dia untuk ikut bersamamu?”
27 And Absalom urges for him, and he sends Amnon and all the sons of the king with him.
Karena Absalom terus mendesak, akhirnya Daud mengizinkan semua anak laki-lakinya pergi bersama Absalom, termasuk Amnon.
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.”
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 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.
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 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, sampailah berita kepada Daud, “Absalom sudah membunuh semua anak laki-laki raja! Tidak ada seorang pun yang selamat!”
31 and the king rises, and tears his garments, and lies on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] torn garments.
Lalu raja berdiri, merobek pakaiannya, dan merebahkan diri di lantai. Semua pejabatnya juga ikut merobek 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 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 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.”
Janganlah Tuanku percaya pada berita yang mengatakan, ‘Semua anak laki-laki raja terbunuh,’ sebab hanya Amnon yang mati.”
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.
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 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, “Tuanku, lihatlah! Anak-anakmu sedang berdatangan, seperti yang saya katakan!”
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 Yonadab selesai bicara, semua anak laki-laki raja tiba sambil meratap. Raja dan seluruh pejabatnya juga menangis keras-keras.
37 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourns for his son all the days.
Daud berdukacita begitu lama karena kematian Amnon. Absalom melarikan diri kepada kakeknya, raja Talmai, anak Amihud, di Gesur.
38 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Geshur, and is there [for] three years;
Absalom tinggal di Gesur selama tiga tahun.
39 and King David determines to go out to Absalom, for he has been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
Ketika Daud sudah tidak berduka atas kematian Amnon, dia mulai rindu bertemu lagi dengan Absalom.
