< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.
ابشالوم، پسر داوود، خواهر زیبایی داشت به نام تامار. امنون، پسر دیگر داوود که برادر ناتنی تامار بود، سخت دلباختهٔ او شد.
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].
امنون چنان خاطرخواه خواهرش شده بود که از عشق او بیمار شد. او دسترسی به تامار نداشت، زیرا تامار چون باکره بود حق نداشت با مردان معاشرت کند.
3 But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.
ولی امنون رفیقی حیله‌گر داشت به نام یوناداب. یوناداب پسر شمعی و برادرزادهٔ داوود بود.
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.”
روزی یوناداب به امنون گفت: «ای پسر پادشاه چرا روز‌به‌روز لاغرتر می‌شوی؟ به من بگو چه شده است؟» امنون به او گفت: «من عاشق تامار، خواهر ناتنی‌ام شده‌ام!»
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.’”
یوناداب گفت: «در بسترت دراز بکش و خودت را به مریضی بزن. وقتی پدرت به عیادتت بیاید، به او بگو که تامار را بفرستد تا برایت خوراکی تهیه کند. بگو که اگر از دست تامار غذا بخوری خوب می‌شوی.»
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.”
پس اَمنون خوابید و خود را به مریضی زد. وقتی پادشاه به عیادتش آمد، اَمنون به او گفت: «دلم می‌خواهد خواهرم تامار بیاید و دو قرص نان در حضور من بپزد تا از دست او بخورم.»
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.”
داوود قبول کرد و برای تامار پیغام فرستاد که پیش امنون برود و برای او خوراکی تهیه کند.
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.
تامار به خانهٔ امنون رفت و او بر بستر خوابیده بود. تامار مقداری خمیر تهیه کرد و برای او نان پخت.
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].
اما وقتی سینی خوراک را پیش امنون گذاشت، او نخورد و به نوکرانش گفت: «همه از اینجا بیرون بروید.» پس همه بیرون رفتند.
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.
بعد به تامار گفت: «دوباره خوراک را به اتاق خواب بیاور و آن را به من بده.» تامار خوراک را پیش او برد.
11 But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”
ولی همین که آن را پیش او گذاشت، امنون او را گرفته، گفت: «خواهر عزیزم، بیا با من بخواب!»
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!
تامار گفت: «امنون، این کار را نکن! نباید در اسرائیل چنین فاجعه‌ای به بار بیاوری.
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.”
من این رسوایی‌ام را کجا ببرم؟ و تو در اسرائیل انگشت‌نما خواهی شد. تمنا می‌کنم فقط به پادشاه بگو و من مطمئنم اجازه خواهد داد تا با من ازدواج کنی.»
14 But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.
ولی گوش امنون بدهکار نبود، و چون از تامار قویتر بود، به زور به او تجاوز کرد.
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!”
بعد ناگهان عشق امنون به نفرت تبدیل شد و شدت نفرتش بیش از عشقی بود که قبلاً به او داشت. او به تامار گفت: «از اینجا برو بیرون!»
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.
تامار با التماس گفت: «این کار را نکن، چون بیرون راندن من بدتر از آن عملی است که با من کردی.» ولی امنون توجهی به حرفهای او نکرد.
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]!”
او نوکرش را صدا زده، گفت: «این دختر را از اینجا بیرون کن و در را پشت سرش ببند.» پس آن نوکر او را بیرون کرد. در آن زمان رسم بود که دختران باکرهٔ پادشاه، لباس رنگارنگ می‌پوشیدند.
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.
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.
اما تامار لباس رنگارنگ خود را پاره کرد، خاکستر بر سر خود ریخته، دستهایش را روی سرش گذاشت و گریه‌کنان از آنجا دور شد.
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.
وقتی برادرش ابشالوم او را دید، پرسید: «ببینم، آیا برادرت امنون با تو بوده است؟ ای خواهرم، ساکت باش. او برادر توست. ناراحت نباش.» پس تامار در خانهٔ برادرش ابشالوم گوشه‌گیر شد.
21 When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.
وقتی این خبر به گوش داوود پادشاه رسید، بی‌اندازه خشمگین شد.
22 And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.
اما ابشالوم به سبب این عمل زشت از امنون کینه به دل داشت و دربارهٔ این موضوع با او هیچ سخن نمی‌گفت.
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].
دو سال بعد، وقتی ابشالوم در بعل حاصور واقع در افرایم گوسفندان خود را پشم می‌برید، جشنی ترتیب داد و تمام پسران پادشاه را دعوت کرد.
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!”
ابشالوم پیش داوود پادشاه رفته، گفت: «جشنی به مناسبت پشم بری گوسفندانم ترتیب داده‌ام، تقاضا دارم همراه درباریان به این جشن تشریف بیاورید.»
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].
ولی پادشاه به ابشالوم گفت: «نه پسرم، اگر همهٔ ما بیاییم برای تو بار سنگینی می‌شویم.» ابشالوم خیلی اصرار نمود، ولی داوود نپذیرفت و از او تشکر کرد.
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?”
ابشالوم گفت: «بسیار خوب، پس اگر شما نمی‌توانید بیایید، برادرم امنون را به جای خودتان بفرستید.» پادشاه پرسید: «چرا امنون؟»
27 But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.
ولی ابشالوم آنقدر اصرار کرد تا سرانجام پادشاه با رفتن امنون و سایر پسرانش موافقت نمود.
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!”
ابشالوم به افراد خود گفت: «صبر کنید تا امنون مست شود، آنگاه با اشارهٔ من، او را بکشید. نترسید! اینجا فرمانده منم. شجاع باشید!»
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.
پس افراد ابشالوم، به دستور وی امنون را کشتند. پسران دیگر پادشاه بر قاطران خود سوار شده، فرار کردند.
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!”
وقتی ایشان هنوز در راه بازگشت به اورشلیم بودند، به داوود خبر رسید که ابشالوم تمام پسرانش را کشته است.
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.
پادشاه از جا برخاست و لباس خود را پاره کرد و روی خاک نشست. درباریان نیز لباسهای خود را پاره کردند.
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.
اما در این بین، یوناداب (پسر شمعی و برادرزادهٔ داوود) وارد شد و گفت: «همه کشته نشده‌اند! فقط امنون به قتل رسیده است. ابشالوم این نقشه را وقتی کشید که امنون به خواهرش تجاوز کرد. خاطرجمع باشید همهٔ پسرانتان نمرده‌اند! فقط امنون مرده است.»
33 So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”
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].
در این ضمن، ابشالوم فرار کرد. در اورشلیم، دیدبانی که روی دیوار شهر دیدبانی می‌کرد، گروه بزرگی را بر جادۀ سمت غرب خود دید که از کوه سرازیر می‌شوند. پس دوید و به پادشاه گفت: «گروه بزرگی را می‌بینم که از راه هورونائیم که کنار کوه است، می‌آیند».
35 Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”
یوناداب به پادشاه گفت: «ببینید، همان‌طور که گفتم، پسرانتان آمدند.»
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.
طولی نکشید که همهٔ پسران پادشاه وارد شدند و به تلخی گریستند. پادشاه و درباریان هم با آنها با صدای بلند گریه کردند.
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,
اما ابشالوم فرار کرد و به تلمای (پسر عمیهود) پادشاه جشور پناه برد و سه سال در آنجا ماند. داوود برای پسرش امنون مدت زیادی عزادار بود،
39 but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
اما سرانجام از مرگ امنون تسلی یافت و مشتاق دیدار پسرش ابشالوم شد.
