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.

Sesudah itu terjadilah yang berikut. Absalom bin Daud mempunyai seorang adik perempuan yang cantik, namanya Tamar; dan Amnon bin Daud jatuh cinta kepadanya.

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.

Hati Amnon sangat tergoda, sehingga ia jatuh sakit karena Tamar, saudaranya itu, sebab anak perempuan itu masih perawan dan menurut anggapan Amnon mustahil untuk melakukan sesuatu terhadap dia.

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

Amnon mempunyai seorang sahabat bernama Yonadab, anak Simea kakak Daud. Yonadab itu seorang yang sangat cerdik.

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."

Katanya kepada Amnon: "Hai anak raja, mengapa engkau demikian merana setiap pagi? Tidakkah lebih baik engkau memberitahukannya kepadaku?" Kata Amnon kepadanya: "Aku cinta kepada Tamar, adik perempuan Absalom, saudaraku itu."

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.'"

Lalu berkatalah Yonadab kepadanya: "Berbaringlah di tempat tidurmu dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Apabila ayahmu datang menengok engkau, maka haruslah engkau berkata kepadanya: Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang memberi aku makan. Apabila ia menyediakan makanan di depan mataku, sehingga aku dapat melihatnya, maka aku akan memakannya dari tangannya."

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."

Sesudah itu berbaringlah Amnon dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Ketika raja datang menengok dia, berkatalah Amnon kepada raja: "Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang membuat barang dua kue di depan mataku, supaya aku memakannya dari tangannya."

7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Go now to your brother Amnon and prepare food for him."

Lalu Daud menyuruh orang kepada Tamar, ke rumahnya, dengan pesan: "Pergilah ke rumah Amnon, kakakmu dan sediakanlah makanan baginya."

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.

Maka Tamar pergi ke rumah Amnon, kakaknya, yang sedang berbaring-baring, lalu anak perempuan itu mengambil adonan, meremasnya dan membuat kue di depan matanya, kemudian dibakarnya kue itu.

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.

Sesudah itu gadis itu mengambil kuali dan mengeluarkan isinya di depan Amnon, tetapi ia tidak mau makan. Berkatalah Amnon: "Suruhlah setiap orang keluar meninggalkan aku." Lalu keluarlah setiap orang meninggalkan dia.

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.

Lalu berkatalah Amnon kepada Tamar: "Bawalah makanan itu ke dalam kamar, supaya aku memakannya dari tanganmu." Tamar mengambil kue yang disediakannya itu, lalu membawanya kepada Amnon, kakaknya, ke dalam kamar.

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."

Ketika gadis itu menghidangkannya kepadanya supaya ia makan, dipegangnyalah gadis itu dan berkata kepadanya: "Marilah tidur dengan aku, adikku."

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.

Tetapi gadis itu berkata kepadanya: "Tidak kakakku, jangan perkosa aku, sebab orang tidak berlaku seperti itu di Israel. Janganlah berbuat noda seperti itu.

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."

Dan aku, ke manakah kubawa kecemaranku? Dan engkau ini, engkau akan dianggap sebagai orang yang bebal di Israel. Oleh sebab itu, berbicaralah dengan raja, sebab ia tidak akan menolak memberikan aku kepadamu."

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

Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan perkataannya, dan sebab ia lebih kuat dari padanya, diperkosanyalah dia, lalu tidur dengan dia.

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."

Kemudian timbullah kebencian yang sangat besar pada Amnon terhadap gadis itu, bahkan lebih besar benci yang dirasanya kepada gadis itu dari pada cinta yang dirasanya sebelumnya. Lalu Amnon berkata kepadanya: "Bangunlah, enyahlah!"

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.

Lalu berkatalah gadis itu kepadanya: "Tidak kakakku, sebab menyuruh aku pergi adalah lebih jahat dari pada apa yang telah kaulakukan kepadaku tadi." Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan dia.

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

Dipanggilnya orang muda yang melayani dia, katanya: "Suruhlah perempuan ini pergi dari padaku dan kuncilah pintu di belakangnya."

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.

Gadis itu memakai baju kurung yang maha indah; sebab demikianlah puteri-puteri raja yang masih perawan berpakaikan baju kurung panjang. Kemudian pelayan itu menyuruh dia keluar, lalu mengunci pintu di belakangnya.

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.

Lalu Tamar menaruh abu di atas kepalanya, mengoyakkan baju kurung yang maha indah yang dipakainya, meletakkan tangannya di atas kepalanya dan pergilah ia sambil meratap dengan nyaring.

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.

Bertanyalah Absalom, kakaknya, kepadanya: "Apakah Amnon, kakakmu itu, bersetubuh dengan engkau? Maka sekarang, adikku, diamlah saja, bukankah ia kakakmu, janganlah begitu memikirkan perkara itu." Lalu Tamar tinggal di rumah Absalom, kakaknya itu, seorang diri.

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.

Ketika segala perkara itu didengar raja Daud sangat marahlah ia.

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

Dan Absalom tidak berkata-kata dengan Amnon, baik tentang yang jahat maupun tentang yang baik, tetapi Absalom membenci Amnon, sebab ia telah memperkosa Tamar, adiknya.

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.

Sesudah lewat dua tahun, Absalom mengadakan pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor yang dekat kota Efraim. Lalu Absalom mengundang semua anak raja.

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."

Kemudian Absalom menghadap raja, lalu berkata: "Hambamu ini mengadakan pengguntingan bulu domba. Kiranya raja dan pegawai-pegawainya ikut bersama-sama dengan hambamu ini."

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.

Tetapi raja berkata kepada Absalom: "Maaf, anakku, jangan kami semua pergi, supaya kami jangan menyusahkan engkau." Lalu Absalom mendesak, tetapi raja tidak mau pergi, ia hanya memberi restu kepadanya.

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?"

Kemudian berkatalah Absalom: "Kalau tidak, izinkanlah kakakku Amnon pergi beserta kami." Tetapi raja menjawabnya: "Apa gunanya ia pergi bersama-sama dengan engkau?"

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.

Tetapi ketika Absalom mendesak, diizinkannyalah Amnon dan semua anak raja pergi beserta dia.

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."

Lalu Absalom memerintahkan orang-orangnya, demikian: "Perhatikan! Apabila hati Amnon menjadi gembira karena anggur, dan aku berkata kepadamu: Paranglah Amnon, maka haruslah kamu membunuh dia. Jangan takut. Bukankah aku yang memerintahkannya kepadamu? Kuatkanlah hatimu dan tunjukkanlah dirimu sebagai orang yang gagah perkasa!"

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.

Orang-orang Absalom memperlakukan Amnon seperti yang diperintahkan Absalom. Lalu bangunlah semua anak raja itu, mereka menaiki bagalnya masing-masing dan melarikan diri.

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."

Mereka masih di tengah jalan, ketika kabar sampai kepada Daud, demikian: "Absalom telah membunuh semua anak raja, tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang lolos."

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.

Lalu bangunlah raja, dikoyakkannya pakaiannya dan berbaring di lantai, dan semua pegawainya yang hadir padanya mengoyakkan pakaian mereka.

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.

Maka berbicaralah Yonadab, anak Simea, kakak Daud, katanya: "Janganlah tuanku menyangka, bahwa semua orang muda anak-anak raja itu, telah dibunuh. Hanya Amnon yang mati, sebab hal itu telah terlihat pada air muka Absalom, sejak Amnon memperkosa Tamar, adiknya.

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."

Jadi, janganlah tuanku raja menaruh pikiran dalam hatinya, bahwa semua anak raja itu sudah mati, sebab hanya Amnon yang mati."

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."

Absalom melarikan diri. Ketika orang yang berjaga-jaga melayangkan pandangnya, maka terlihatlah olehnya sejumlah besar orang datang dari jurusan Horonaim, sepanjang sisi pegunungan.

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

Berkatalah Yonadab kepada raja: "Lihat, anak-anak raja datang! Benar seperti kata hambamu ini."

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.

Baru saja ia habis berkata, datanglah anak-anak raja itu. Mereka menangis dengan suara nyaring. Juga raja dan semua pegawainya menangis dengan amat keras.

37 And David mourned for his son every day.

Absalom telah melarikan diri dan telah pergi kepada Talmai bin Amihur, raja negeri Gesur. Dan Daud berdukacita berhari-hari lamanya karena anaknya itu.

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

Absalom telah melarikan diri dan telah pergi ke Gesur; ia tinggal di sana tiga tahun lamanya.

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

Lalu raja tidak lagi marah terhadap Absalom, sebab kesedihan hatinya karena kematian Amnon telah surut.
