2 Samuel 13
1 David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.
Og det skete derefter, da Absalom, Davids Søn, havde en dejlig Søster, hvis Navn var Thamar, at Amnon, Davids Søn, elskede hende.
2 He wanted [to have sex with] [EUP] his half-sister very much, with the result that he made himself sick [thinking about her all the time]. But it was not possible for Amnon to get her, because she was a virgin, [so they kept men away from her].
Og Amnon pintes, saa at han blev syg for Thamar, sin Søsters, Skyld; thi hun var en Jomfru, og det syntes umuligt for Amnons Øjne at gøre hende noget.
3 But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.
Men Amnon havde en Ven, hvis Navn var Jonadab, en Søn af Simea, Davids Broder, og Jonadab var en saare klog Mand.
4 [One day] Jonadab said to Amnon, “You are the king’s son, but every day I see that [RHQ] you seem very depressed/sad. What is your problem?” Amnon replied, “I (am in love/want to sleep) [EUP] with Tamar, my half-brother Absalom’s sister.”
Og han sagde til ham: Hvorfor bliver du saa mager, du Kongens Søn, Dag for Dag? kan du ikke give mig det til Kende? Da sagde Ammon til ham: Jeg elsker Thamar, Absaloms, min Broders, Søster.
5 Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend that you are sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Allow my half-sister Tamar to come and give me some food to eat. She can prepare the food while I am watching her. Then she can serve it to me herself.’”
Og Jonadab sagde til ham: Læg dig paa din Seng og gør dig syg; naar din Fader kommer at besøge dig, da sig til ham: Kære, lad Thamar, min Søster, komme, at give mig Brød at æde og lave Mad for mine Øjne, at jeg kan se derpaa og æde af hendes Haand.
6 So Amnon lay down, and pretended that he was sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “[I am sick; ] please allow my half-sister Tamar to come and make a couple scones/dumplings for me while I am watching, and then she can serve them to me.”
Saa lagde Amnon sig og gjorde sig syg; der Kongen kom at besøge ham, da sagde Amnon til Kongen: Kære, lad Thamar, min Søster, komme og tillave to søde Kager for mine Øjne, at jeg kan æde af hendes Haand.
7 So David sent a message to Tamar in the palace, saying “Amnon [is sick and he wants you to] go to his house and prepare some food for him.”
Da sendte David til Thamar i Huset og lod sige: Kære, gak hen i Amnons, din Broders, Hus og lav ham Mad.
8 So Tamar went to Amnon’s house, where he was lying in bed. She took some dough and kneaded it, and formed it into some scones/dumplings while he was watching her. Then she baked them.
Og Thamar gik til Amnons, sin Broders, Hus, og han laa, og hun tog en Dejg og æltede og tillavede Kager for hans Øjne og bagte søde Kager.
9 She took them out of the pan and put them [on a plate] in front of him, but he refused to eat them. Then he said to everyone else in the room, “All the rest of you, leave me now!” So all the others left his [room].
Og hun tog Panden og slog dem ud for hans Ansigt, men han vægrede sig for at æde; da sagde Amnon: Lad hver Mand gaa ud fra mig, og de gik ud fra ham alle sammen.
10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room and serve it to me.” So Tamar took into his room the scones/dumplings that she had made.
Da sagde Amnon til Thamar: Bær Maden ind i Kammeret, at jeg kan æde af din Haand; da tog Thamar de søde Kager, som hun havde lavet, og bar dem ind til Amnon, sin Broder, i Kammeret.
11 But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”
Og der hun bar dem frem til ham, at han skulde æde, da tog han fat paa hende og sagde til hende: Kom, min Søster, og lig hos mig.
12 She replied, “No, do not force me to do such a disgraceful thing! We never do things like that in Israel! That would be awful/terrible!
Og hun sagde til ham: Ikke saa, min Broder! krænk mig ikke, thi man bør ikke saaledes gøre i Israel; gør ikke denne Daarlighed.
13 As for me, if I did that, I would not be able to [RHQ] endure being disgraced by having done that. And as for you, everyone in Israel would condemn you for having done such a disgraceful deed. So I plead with you, talk to the king. I am sure that he will allow me to marry you.”
Men jeg, hvor skulde jeg gaa hen med min Skam? og du, du skulde være ligesom en af Daarerne i Israel; men nu, kære, tal til Kongen, thi han nægter dig mig ikke.
14 But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.
Men han vilde ikke høre paa hendes Røst og var stærkere end hun, og han krænkede hende og laa hos hende.
15 Then Amnon hated her very much. He hated her much more than he had desired her. He said to her, “Get up and get out of here!”
Siden hadede Amnon hende med et saare stort Had; thi det Had, som han hadede hende med, var større end Kærligheden, med hvilken han havde elsket hende; og Amnon sagde til hende: Staa op, gak bort.
16 But she said to him, “No! It would be very wrong for you to send me away. It would be worse than what you just did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
Og hun sagde til ham: Vold mig ikke den Ulykke, som er større end det andet, som du gjorde imod mig, saa at du udstøder mig; men han vilde ikke høre hende.
17 He summoned his personal servant and said to him, “Take this woman outside, away from me, and lock the door [so that she cannot come in again]!”
Og han kaldte ad sin Dreng, som tjente ham, og sagde: Driv dog denne ud fra mig udenfor, og luk du Døren i Laas efter hende.
18 So the servant put her outside and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with long sleeves, which was the clothing that was usually worn by the unmarried daughters of the king at that time.
Og hun havde en broget Kjortel paa; thi i saadanne Kjortler plejede Kongens Døtre at klæde sig, saalænge de vare Jomfruer; og hans Tjener drev hende ud udenfor og lukkede Døren i Laas efter hende.
19 But Tamar tore the long robe that she was wearing, and put ashes on her head [to show that she was very sad]. Then she put her hands on her head [to show that she was grieving], and she went away, crying.
Da tog Thamar Aske paa sit Hoved og sønderrev den brogede Kjortel, som hun havde paa, og lagde sin Haand paa sit Hoved og gik og raabte uafladelig.
20 Her brother Absalom [saw her and] said to her, “Has your half-brother Amnon [DOU] forced you to have sex with him [EUP]? Please, my sister, do not tell anyone, and do not become depressed/sad.” So Tamar went to live in Absalom’s house, and she was very sad and lonely.
Og Absalom, hendes Broder, sagde til hende: Har din Broder Amnon været hos dig? og nu, min Søster, ti! han er din Broder, læg ikke denne Sag paa dit Hjerte. Saa sad Thamar enlig i sin Broder Absaloms Hus.
21 When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.
Der Kong David hørte alle disse Gerninger, da blev han saare vred.
22 And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.
Men Absalom talede ikke med Amnon, hverken ondt eller godt; men Absalom hadede Amnon, fordi han havde krænket Thamar, hans Søster.
23 Two years later, Absalom’s servants were shearing sheep at Baal-Hazor, which is near [a town named] Ephraim. [When they finished shearing the sheep, they celebrated], and Absalom invited all the king’s sons [to come and celebrate].
Og det skete to Aar derefter, da havde Absalom Faareklipning i Baal-Hazor, som er ved Efraim, og Absalom indbød alle Kongens Børn.
24 Absalom went to the king and said to him, “Sir, my servants have been shearing my sheep. Please come with your officials [to celebrate] with us!”
Og Absalom kom til Kongen og sagde: Kære, se, din Tjener har Faareklipning, Kongen og hans Tjenere komme dog med din Tjener!
25 But the king replied, “No, my son, it would not be good for all of us to go, because it would cause you to do a lot of work and spend a lot of money for food.” Absalom continued urging him, but the king would not go. Instead, he said that he hoped/desired that God would bless them [while they celebrated].
Og Kongen sagde til Absalom: Nej, min Søn, lad os dog ikke alle gaa, at vi ikke skulle besvære dig; der han nødte ham, vilde han dog ikke gaa, men velsignede ham.
26 Then Absalom said, “If you will not go, please allow my half-brother Amnon to go with us.” But the king replied, “Why [do you want] him to go with you?”
Og Absalom sagde: Hvis du ikke vil, lad dog Amnon, min Broder, gaa med os; og Kongen sagde til ham: Hvorfor skal han gaa med dig?
27 But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.
Da nødte Absalom ham, og han lod Amnon og alle Kongens Børn gaa med ham.
28 [So they all went. And at the celebration], Absalom commanded his servants, “Notice when Amnon has become a bit drunk from the wine. Then when I signal to you, kill him. Do not be afraid; you will be doing this [only] because I told you [RHQ] to do it. So be courageous and do it!”
Men Absalom bød sine unge Karle og sagde: Ser til, naar Amnons Hjerte er vel til Mode af Vinen, og jeg siger til eder: Slaar Amnon! saa dræber ham, frygter ikke; er det ikke mig, som har befalet eder det? værer frimodige og værer raske Folk!
29 So Absalom’s servants did what Absalom told them to do. [They killed Amnon]. All the rest of David’s sons [saw what happened and] fled, riding on their mules.
Saa gjorde Absaloms unge Karle ved Amnon, saaledes som Absalom havde befalet. Da stode alle Kongens Sønner op og rede hver paa sin Mule og flyede.
30 While they were on their way home, someone [went quickly and] reported to David, “Absalom has killed all of your other sons; none of them is still alive!”
Og det skete, der de vare paa Vejen, da kom Rygtet til David, og der sagdes: Absalom har slaget alle Kongens Sønner, og der blev ikke een af dem tilovers.
31 The king stood up, tore his clothes [because he was extremely sad], and then he threw himself down on the ground. All the servants who were there also tore their clothes.
Da stod Kongen op og sønderrev sine Klæder og lagde sig paa Jorden, og alle hans Tjenere stode med sønderrevne Klæder.
32 But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “Your Majesty, [I am sure that] they have not killed all your sons. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead, because Absalom has determined to do this ever since the day that Amnon raped [EUP] his half-sister Tamar.
Da svarede Jonadab, en Søn af Simea, Davids Broder, og sagde: Min Herre sige ikke, at de have ihjelslaget alle de unge Mænd, Kongens Sønner; thi Amnon alene er død; thi det Forsæt har været i Absaloms Mund fra den Dag, at han krænkede Thamar, hans Søster.
33 So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”
Saa lægge nu min Herre Konge ikke det Ord paa sit Hjerte, som siges, at alle Kongens Sønner ere døde; thi Amnon alene er død.
34 In the meantime, Absalom ran away. Just then, the soldier/sentry [who was standing on the city wall] saw a large crowd of people coming down the hill along the road from Horonaim. [He ran and told the king what he had seen].
Men Absalom flyede. Og den unge Karl, som stod paa Vagt, opløftede sine Øjne og saa, og se, der drog meget Folk frem paa Vejen efter hverandre ved Siden af Bjerget.
35 Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”
Da sagde Jonadab til Kongen: Se, Kongens Sønner komme; som din Tjeners Ord var, saaledes er det sket.
36 And as soon as he said that, David’s sons came in. They all started crying, and David and all his officials also cried very much.
Og det skete, der han havde endt at tale, se, da kom Kongens Sønner, og de opløftede deres Røst og græd, og Kongen ogsaa, og alle hans Tjenere græd med en saare stor Graad.
37 But Absalom had fled. He went to stay with the king of [the] Geshur [region], who was Talmai the son of Ammihud. Absalom stayed there for three years. David mourned for his son Amnon for a long time,
Men Absalom flyede og drog til Thalmaj, Ammihuds Søn, Kongen i Gesur. Og han sørgede over sin Søn alle de Dage.
Der Absalom var flygtet og var draget til Gesur, da blev han der tre Aar.
39 but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
Og Kong David længtes efter at drage ud til Absalom; thi han havde trøstet sig over Amnon, der var død.
