2 Samuel 13
1 David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.
Depois disso, Absalom, filho de David, tinha uma bela irmã, cujo nome era Tamar; e Amnon, filho de David, a amava.
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].
Amnon estava tão perturbado que ficou doente por causa de sua irmã Tamar, pois ela era virgem, e parecia difícil para Amnon fazer alguma coisa com ela.
3 But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.
Mas Amnon tinha um amigo cujo nome era Jonadab, filho de Shimeah, irmão de David; e Jonadab era um homem muito sutil.
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.”
Ele lhe disse: “Por que, filho do rei, você está tão triste de dia para dia? Não vai me dizer?” Amnon disse-lhe: “Eu amo Tamar, a irmã de meu irmão Absalom”.
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.’”
Jonadab disse-lhe: “Deite-se em sua cama e finja estar doente”. Quando seu pai vier vê-lo, diga-lhe: 'Por favor, deixe minha irmã Tamar vir e me dê pão para comer, e prepare a comida à minha vista, para que eu possa vê-la e comê-la de sua mão'”.
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.”
Portanto, Amnon se deita e finge estar doente. Quando o rei veio vê-lo, Amnon disse ao rei: “Por favor, deixe minha irmã Tamar vir e fazer-me um par de bolos à minha vista, para que eu possa comer da mão dela”.
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.”
Então David mandou para casa de Tamar, dizendo: “Vá agora para a casa de seu irmão Amnon, e prepare comida para ele”.
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.
Então Tamar foi para a casa de seu irmão Amnon; e ele estava deitado. Ela pegou a massa, amassou-a, fez bolos à vista dele e cozinhou os bolos.
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].
Ela pegou a panela e os derramou diante dele, mas ele se recusou a comer. Amnon disse: “Que todos os homens me deixem”. Então todos os homens saíram dele.
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.
Amnon disse à Tamar: “Traga a comida para a sala, para que eu possa comer de sua mão”. Tamar pegou os bolos que tinha feito e os trouxe para a sala de Amnon, seu irmão.
11 But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”
Quando ela os trouxe para perto dele para comer, ele pegou-a e lhe disse: “Venha, deite-se comigo, minha irmã”.
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!
Ela lhe respondeu: “Não, meu irmão, não me force! Pois não se deve fazer tal coisa em Israel. Não faça esta loucura!
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.”
Quanto a mim, onde eu levaria minha vergonha? E quanto a você, você será como um dos tolos em Israel. Agora, portanto, por favor, falai com o rei, pois ele não me reterá de vós”.
14 But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.
Entretanto, ele não quis ouvir a voz dela; mas sendo mais forte do que ela, ele a forçou e se deitou com ela.
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!”
Então Amnon a odiava com um ódio extremamente grande; pois o ódio com que ele a odiava era maior do que o amor com o qual ele a amava. Amnon disse-lhe: “Levanta-te, vai-te embora”.
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.
Ela lhe disse: “Não é assim, porque este grande erro de me mandar embora é pior do que o outro que você me fez”! Mas ele não a escutava.
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]!”
Então ele chamou seu servo que o serviu, e disse: “Agora tire esta mulher de mim, e feche a porta depois dela”.
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.
Ela tinha uma roupa de várias cores, para as filhas do rei que eram virgens vestidas com tais vestes. Então, seu servo a trouxe para fora e fechou a porta depois dela.
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.
Tamar colocou cinzas em sua cabeça e rasgou sua veste de várias cores que estava sobre ela; e ela colocou a mão sobre sua cabeça e seguiu seu caminho, chorando em voz alta enquanto ela ia.
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.
Absalom, seu irmão lhe disse: “Amnon, seu irmão, esteve com você? Mas agora fique calada, minha irmã. Ele é seu irmão. Não leve isto a sério”. Assim, Tamar permaneceu desolada na casa de seu irmão Absalom.
21 When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.
Mas quando o rei David ouviu falar de todas essas coisas, ficou muito zangado.
22 And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.
Absalão não falou com Amnon nem bem nem mal; pois Absalão odiava Amnon, porque ele havia forçado sua irmã Tamar.
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].
Após dois anos completos, Absalom teve tosquiadores de ovelhas em Baal Hazor, que fica ao lado de Efraim; e Absalom convidou todos os filhos do rei.
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!”
Absalom veio até o rei e disse: “Veja agora, seu servo tem tosquiadores de ovelhas. Por favor, deixe o rei e seus servos irem com seu servo”.
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].
O rei disse a Absalom: “Não, meu filho, não vamos todos, para que não sejamos pesados para você”. Ele o pressionou; mas ele não quis ir, mas o abençoou.
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?”
Então Absalom disse: “Se não, por favor, deixe meu irmão Amnon ir conosco”. O rei lhe disse: “Por que ele deveria ir com você?”
27 But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.
Mas Absalom o pressionou e ele deixou Amnon e todos os filhos do rei irem com ele.
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!”
Absalão ordenou a seus servos, dizendo: “Marquem agora, quando o coração de Amnon estiver alegre com o vinho; e quando eu lhes disser: 'Ataquem Amnon,' então o matem. Não tenha medo. Eu não lhe ordenei? Seja corajoso, e seja valente”!
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.
Os servos de Absalom fizeram a Amnon como Absalom havia ordenado. Então todos os filhos do rei se levantaram, e cada homem se levantou em sua mula e fugiu.
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!”
Enquanto eles estavam a caminho, a notícia chegou a David, dizendo: “Absalom matou todos os filhos do rei, e não resta nenhum deles”!
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.
Então o rei se levantou, rasgou suas vestes e deitou-se sobre a terra; e todos os seus servos ficaram de pé com suas roupas rasgadas.
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.
Jonadab, filho de Siméia, irmão de David, respondeu: “Não deixe meu senhor supor que mataram todos os jovens, os filhos do rei, pois só Amnon está morto; pois com a nomeação de Absalão isso foi determinado desde o dia em que ele forçou sua irmã Tamar.
33 So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”
Agora, portanto, não deixe que meu senhor, o rei, leve a coisa ao seu coração, para pensar que todos os filhos do rei estão mortos; pois só Amnon está morto”.
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].
Mas Absalom fugiu. O jovem que ficou com o relógio levantou os olhos e olhou, e eis que muita gente vinha pelo caminho da encosta atrás dele.
35 Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”
Jonadab disse ao rei: “Eis que os filhos do rei estão chegando! É como disse seu servo”.
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.
Assim que ele terminou de falar, eis que os filhos do rei vieram, e levantaram suas vozes e choraram. O rei também e todos os seus servos choraram amargamente.
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,
Mas Absalom fugiu e foi para Talmai, o filho de Ammihur, rei de Geshur. David chorava por seu filho todos os dias.
Então Absalom fugiu e foi para Geshur, e esteve lá três anos.
39 but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
O rei David ansiava por ir para Absalom, pois estava confortado com a morte de Amnon.
