2 Samuel 13

1 It happened after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

E aconteceu depois d'isto que, tendo Absalão, filho de David, uma irmã formosa, cujo nome era Tamar, Amnon, filho de David, amou-a.

2 Amnon was so troubled that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

E angustiou-se Amnon, até adoecer, por Tamar, sua irmã, porque era virgem: e parecia aos olhos de Amnon difficultoso fazer-lhe coisa alguma.

3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man.

Tinha porém Amnon um amigo, cujo nome era Jonadab, filho de Simea, irmão de David: e era Jonadab homem mui sagaz.

4 He said to him, "Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won't you tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."

O qual lhe disse: Porque tu de manhã em manhã tanto emmagreces, sendo filho do rei? não m'o farás saber a mim? Então lhe disse Amnon: Amo a Tamar, irmã de Absalão, meu irmão,

5 Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.'"

E Jonadab lhe disse: Deita-te na tua cama, e finge-te doente; e, quando teu pae 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 faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."

Deitou-se pois Amnon, e fingiu-se doente; e, vindo o rei visital-o, 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 and prepare food for him."

Mandou então David a casa, a Tamar, dizendo: Vae a casa de Amnon, teu irmão, e faze-lhe alguma comida.

8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes while he watched, and baked the cakes.

E foi Tamar a casa de Amnon, seu irmão (elle porém estava deitado), e tomou massa, e a amassou, e fez bolos diante dos seus olhos, e cozeu os bolos.

9 She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, "Have all men leave me." Every man went out from him.

E tomou a sertã, e os tirou diante d'elle; porém elle recusou comer. E disse Amnon: Fazei retirar a todos da minha presença. E todos se retiraram d'elle.

10 Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand." Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.

Então disse Amnon a Tamar: Traze a comida á camara, e comerei da tua mão. E tomou Tamar os bolos que fizera, e os trouxe a Amnon, seu irmão, á camara.

11 When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."

E chegando-lh'os, para que comesse, pegou d'ella, e disse-lhe: Vem, deita-te comigo, irmã minha.

12 She answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me. For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not do this folly.

Porém ella lhe disse: Não, irmão meu, não me forces, porque não se faz assim em Israel; não faças tal loucura.

13 I, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please 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 d'Israel. Agora, pois, peço-te que falles ao rei, porque não me negará a ti

14 However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she was, he overpowered her and raped her.

Porém elle não quiz dar ouvidos á sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ella, a forçou, e se deitou com ella.

15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred, 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, "Get up, go away."

Depois Amnon a aborreceu com grandissimo 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 vae-te.

16 And Tamar said to him, "Don't, my brother, for this latter evil in sending me away is greater than the former thing that you did to me." But he would not listen to her.

Então ella lhe disse: Não ha razão de me despedires assim; maior seria este mal do que o outro que já me tens feito. Porém não lhe quiz dar ouvidos.

17 Then he called the young man who served him, and said, "Send this one away from me, and bolt the door after her."

E chamou a seu moço que o servia, e disse: Deita a esta fóra, e fecha a porta após ella.

18 Now she was wearing an ornamented robe, for this was what the king's virgin daughters used to wear. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

E trazia ella uma roupa de muitas côres (porque assim se vestiam as filhas virgens dos reis, com capas), e seu creado a deitou fóra, e fechou a porta após ella.

19 And Tamar took ashes and put them on her head, and tore the long robe she was wearing. And she put her hand on her head and went away, crying aloud as she went.

Então Tamar tomou cinza sobre a sua cabeça, e a roupa de muitas côres que trazia rasgou: e poz as mãos sobre a cabeça, e foi-se andando e clamando.

20 And her brother Absalom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this too seriously." So Tamar, devastated, lived in her brother Absalom's house.

E Absalão, seu irmão, lhe disse: Esteve Amnon, teu irmão, comtigo? Ora pois, irmã minha, cala-te; é teu irmão. Não se angustie o teu coração por isto. Assim ficou Tamar, e esteve solitaria em casa d'Absalão seu irmão

21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry. But he did not inflict pain on the spirit of his son Amnon, because he loved him, for he was his firstborn.

E, ouvindo o rei David todas estas coisas, muito se accendeu em ira.

22 Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had violated his sister Tamar.

Porém Absalão não fallou com Amnon, nem mal nem bem; porque Absalão aborrecia a Amnon, por ter forçado a Tamar sua irmã

23 It happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

E aconteceu que, passados dois annos inteiros, Absalão tinha tosquiadores em Bal-hasor, que está junto a Ephraim: e convidou Absalão a todos os filhos do rei.

24 Absalom came to the king, and said, "See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant."

E veiu 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 The king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." But he pleaded with 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 elle; porém elle não quiz ir, mas o abençoou.

26 Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." The king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"

Então disse Absalão: Quando não, deixa ir comnosco Amnon, meu irmão. Porém o rei lhe disse: Para que iria comtigo?

27 But Absalom pleaded with him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom prepared a feast like a king's feast.

E, instando Absalão com elle, deixou ir com elle a Amnon, e a todos os filhos do rei.

28 And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, "Watch Amnon until he is in a good mood from the wine, and when I tell you, 'Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and brave."

E Absalão deu ordem aos seus moços, dizendo: Tomae sentido; quando o coração d'Amnon estiver alegre do vinho, e eu vos disser: Feri a Amnon, então o matareis; não temaes; porque porventura não sou eu quem vol-o ordenei? Esforçae-vos, e sede valentes.

29 So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons got up, and each mounted his mule and fled.

E os moços d'Absalão fizeram a Amnon como Absalão lh'o havia ordenado. Então todos os filhos do rei se levantaram, e montaram cada um no seu mulo, e fugiram.

30 And it happened, while they were on the way, that the news came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left."

E aconteceu que, estando elles ainda no caminho, veiu a nova a David, dizendo-se: Absalão feriu a todos os filhos do rei, e nenhum d'elles ficou.

31 Then the king got up and tore his clothes and lay down on the ground. And all the servants who were standing around him also tore their clothes.

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 But Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, "My lord the king must not think that they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For this has been Absalom's plan since the day that he raped 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 do not let 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 metta 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 who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and he saw many men coming on the road behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent. And the watchman came and told the king, and said, "I have seen many men coming from the Horonan road by the side of the mountain."

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 d'elle, pela banda do monte.

35 Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming. It is as your servant said."

Então disse Jonadab ao rei: Eis aqui veem os filhos do rei: conforme á palavra de teu servo, assim succedeu.

36 It happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that look, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.

E aconteceu que, como acabou de fallar, os filhos do rei vieram, e levantaram a sua voz, e choraram: e tambem o rei e todos os seus servos choraram com mui grande choro.

37 And David mourned for his son every day.

Assim Absalão fugiu, e se foi a Talmai, filho d'Ammihur, rei de Gesur. E David trouxe dó por seu filho todos aquelles dias.

38 And Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and was there three years.

Assim Absalão fugiu, e foi para Gesur: esteve ali tres annos.

39 And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled about the death of Amnon.

Então tinha o rei David saudades de Absalão: porque já se tinha consolado ácerca de Amnon, que era morto.
