2 Samuel 13
1 It came about after this that Amnon son of David was very attracted to his beautiful half-sister Tamar, who was a full sister of Absalom, another of David's sons.
大卫的儿子押沙龙有一个美貌的妹子，名叫她玛。大卫的儿子暗嫩爱她。
2 Amnon was so frustrated that he became sick because of his sister Tamar. She was a virgin, and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her.
暗嫩为他妹子她玛忧急成病。她玛还是处女，暗嫩以为难向她行事。
3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man.
暗嫩有一个朋友，名叫约拿达，是大卫长兄示米亚的儿子。这约拿达为人极其狡猾；
4 Jonadab said to Amnon, “Why, son of the king, are you depressed every morning? Will you not tell me?” So Amnon answered him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.”
他问暗嫩说：“王的儿子啊，为何一天比一天瘦弱呢？请你告诉我。”暗嫩回答说：“我爱我兄弟押沙龙的妹子她玛。”
5 Then Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, ask him, 'Would you please send my sister Tamar to give me something to eat and cook it before me, so that I may see it and eat it from her hand?'”
约拿达说：“你不如躺在床上装病；你父亲来看你，就对他说：‘求父叫我妹子她玛来，在我眼前预备食物，递给我吃，使我看见，好从她手里接过来吃。’”
6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please send my sister Tamar to make some food for my sickness in front of me so that I may eat from her hand.”
于是暗嫩躺卧装病。王来看他，他对王说：“求父叫我妹子她玛来，在我眼前为我做两个饼，我好从她手里接过来吃。”
7 Then David sent word to Tamar at his palace, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon's house and prepare food for him.”
大卫就打发人到宫里，对她玛说：“你往你哥哥暗嫩的屋里去，为他预备食物。”
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house where he was lying down. She took dough and kneaded it and formed bread in his sight, and then she baked it.
她玛就到她哥哥暗嫩的屋里；暗嫩正躺卧。她玛抟面，在他眼前做饼，且烤熟了，
9 She took the pan and gave the bread to him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said to the others present, “Send everyone out, away from me.” So everyone went out from him.
在他面前将饼从锅里倒出来，他却不肯吃，便说：“众人离开我出去吧！”众人就都离开他，出去了。
10 So Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room that I may eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the bread that she had made, and brought it into the room of Amnon her brother.
暗嫩对她玛说：“你把食物拿进卧房，我好从你手里接过来吃。”她玛就把所做的饼拿进卧房，到她哥哥暗嫩那里，
11 When she had brought the food to him, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, sleep with me, my sister.”
拿着饼上前给他吃，他便拉住她玛，说：“我妹妹，你来与我同寝。”
12 She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me, for nothing like this should be done in Israel. Do not do this appalling thing!
她玛说：“我哥哥，不要玷辱我。以色列人中不当这样行，你不要做这丑事；
13 How could I be rid of my shame? What about you? You would be like one of the fools in Israel! Now, please speak to the king, for he would not keep me from you.”
你玷辱了我，我何以掩盖我的羞耻呢？你在以色列中也成了愚妄人。你可以求王，他必不禁止我归你。”
14 However Amnon would not listen to her. Since he was stronger than Tamar, he seized her and he slept with her.
但暗嫩不肯听她的话，因比她力大，就玷辱她，与她同寝。
15 Then Amnon hated Tamar with extreme hatred. He hated her even more than he had desired her. Amnon said to her, “Get up and go.”
随后，暗嫩极其恨她，那恨她的心比先前爱她的心更甚，对她说：“你起来，去吧！”
16 But she responded to him, “No! Because this great evil of making me leave is even worse than what you did to me!” But Amnon did not listen to her.
她玛说：“不要这样！你赶出我去的这罪比你才行的更重！”但暗嫩不肯听她的话，
17 Instead, he called his personal servant and said, “Take this woman away from me, and bolt the door after her.”
就叫伺候自己的仆人来，说：“将这个女子赶出去！她一出去，你就关门，上闩。”
18 Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her. Tamar was wearing a very decorated robe because the king's daughters who were virgins dressed that way.
那时她玛穿着彩衣，因为没有出嫁的公主都是这样穿。暗嫩的仆人就把她赶出去，关门上闩。
19 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her robe. She put her hands on her head and walked away, crying aloud as she went.
她玛把灰尘撒在头上，撕裂所穿的彩衣，以手抱头，一面行走，一面哭喊。
20 Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep quiet, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained alone in her brother Absalom's house.
她胞兄押沙龙问她说：“莫非你哥哥暗嫩与你亲近了吗？我妹妹，暂且不要作声，他是你的哥哥，不要将这事放在心上。”她玛就孤孤单单地住在她胞兄押沙龙家里。
21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
大卫王听见这事，就甚发怒。
22 Absalom said nothing to Amnon, for Absalom hated him for what he had done to her and how he had disgraced his sister Tamar.
押沙龙并不和他哥哥暗嫩说好说歹；因为暗嫩玷辱他妹妹她玛，所以押沙龙恨恶他。
23 It came about after two full years that Absalom had sheep shearers working at Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons to visit there.
过了二年，在靠近以法莲的巴力·夏琐有人为押沙龙剪羊毛；押沙龙请王的众子与他同去。
24 Absalom went to the king and said, “Look now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please, may the king and his servants go with me, your servant.”
押沙龙来见王，说：“现在有人为仆人剪羊毛，请王和王的臣仆与仆人同去。”
25 The king answered Absalom, “No, my son, all of us should not go because we would be a burden to you.” Absalom begged the king, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.
王对押沙龙说：“我儿，我们不必都去，恐怕使你耗费太多。”押沙龙再三请王，王仍是不肯去，只为他祝福。
26 Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” So the king said to him, “Why should Amnon go with you?”
押沙龙说：“王若不去，求王许我哥哥暗嫩同去。”王说：“何必要他去呢？”
27 Absalom pressed David, and so he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
押沙龙再三求王，王就许暗嫩和王的众子与他同去。
28 Absalom commanded his servants saying, “Listen closely. When Amnon begins to be affected by the wine, and when I say to you, 'Attack Amnon,' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and brave.”
押沙龙吩咐仆人说：“你们注意，看暗嫩饮酒畅快的时候，我对你们说杀暗嫩，你们便杀他，不要惧怕。这不是我吩咐你们的吗？你们只管壮胆奋勇！”
29 So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as he had commanded them. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man mounted his mule and fled.
押沙龙的仆人就照押沙龙所吩咐的，向暗嫩行了。王的众子都起来，各人骑上骡子，逃跑了。
30 So it came about, while they were on the road, that the news came to David saying, “Absalom has killed all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.”
他们还在路上，有风声传到大卫那里，说：“押沙龙将王的众子都杀了，没有留下一个。”
31 Then the king arose and tore his clothes, and lay on the floor; all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
王就起来，撕裂衣服，躺在地上。王的臣仆也都撕裂衣服，站在旁边。
32 Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, “Let not my master believe that they have killed all the young men who are the king's sons, for Amnon only is dead. Absalom has planned this from the day that Amnon violated his sister Tamar.
大卫的长兄，示米亚的儿子约拿达说：“我主，不要以为王的众子—少年人都杀了，只有暗嫩一个人死了。自从暗嫩玷辱押沙龙妹子她玛的那日，押沙龙就定意杀暗嫩了。
33 So therefore let not my master the king take this report to heart, so as to believe that all the king's sons are dead, for Amnon only is dead.”
现在，我主我王，不要把这事放在心上，以为王的众子都死了，只有暗嫩一个人死了。”
34 Absalom fled away. A servant keeping watch raised his eyes and saw many people coming on the road on the hillside west of him.
押沙龙逃跑了。 守望的少年人举目观看，见有许多人从山坡的路上来。
35 Then Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the king's sons are coming. It is just as your servant said.”
约拿达对王说：“看哪，王的众子都来了，果然与你仆人所说的相合。”
36 So it came about when he finished speaking, the king's sons arrived and raised their voices and wept. The king and all his servants also wept bitterly.
话才说完，王的众子都到了，放声大哭；王和臣仆也都哭得甚恸。
37 But Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
押沙龙逃到基述王亚米忽的儿子达买那里去了。大卫天天为他儿子悲哀。
38 So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, where he was for three years.
押沙龙逃到基述，在那里住了三年。
39 The mind of King David longed to go out to see Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon and his death.
暗嫩死了以后，大卫王得了安慰，心里切切想念押沙龙。
