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.
Nogen Tid efter tildrog følgende sig. Davids Søn Absalon havde en smuk Søster, som hed Tamar, og Davids Søn Amnon fattede Kærlighed til hende.
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.
Amnon blev syg af Attrå efter sin Søster Tamar; thi hun var Jomfru, og Amnon øjnede ingen Mulighed for at få sin Vilje med hende.
3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man.
Men Amnon havde en Ven ved Navn Jonadab, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, og denne Jonadab var en såre klog Mand;
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.”
han sagde til ham: "Hvorfor er du så elendig hver Morgen, Kongesøn? Vil du ikke sige mig det?" Amnon svarede: "Jeg elsker min Broder Absalons Søster Tamar!"
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?'”
Da sagde Jonadab til ham: "Læg dig til Sengs og lad, som du er syg! Når så din Fader kommer for at se til dig, skal du sige: Lad min Søster Tamar komme og give mig noget at spise! Når hun laver Maden i mit Påsyn, så at jeg kan se det, og hun selv giver mig den, kan jeg spise."
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.”
Så gik Amnon til Sengs og lod. som han var syg; og da Kongen kom for at se til ham, sagde Amnon til Kongen: "Lad min Søster Tamar komme og lave et Par Kager i mit Påsyn og selv give mig dem: så kan jeg spise."
7 Then David sent word to Tamar at his palace, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon's house and prepare food for him.”
David sendte da Bud ind i Huset til Tamar og lod sige: "Gå over til din Broder Amnons Hus og lav Mad til ham!"
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.
Og Tamar gik over til sin Broder Amnons Hus, hvor han lå til Sengs, tog Dejen, æltede den og lavede Kagerne i hans Påsyn og bagte dem;
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.
derpå tog hun Panden og hældte dem ud i hans Påsyn; Amnon vilde dog ikke spise, men sagde: "Lad alle gå udenfor!" Og da de alle var gået udenfor,
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.
sagde Amnon til Tamar: "Bær Maden ind i Inderværelset og lad mig få den af din egen Hånd!" Da tog Tamar Kagerne, som hun havde lavet, og bar dem ind i Inderværelset til sin Broder Amnon.
11 When she had brought the food to him, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, sleep with me, my sister.”
Men da hun bar dem hen til ham, for at han skulde spise, greb han fat i hende og sagde: "Kom og lig hos mig, Søster!"
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!
Men hun sagde: "Nej, Broder! Krænk mig ikke! Således gør man ikke i Israel! Øv dog ikke denne Skændselsdåd!
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.”
Hvor skulde jeg gå hen med min Skam? Og du vilde blive regnet blandt Dårer i Israel! Tal hellere med Kongen; han nægter dig ikke at få mig!"
14 However Amnon would not listen to her. Since he was stronger than Tamar, he seized her and he slept with her.
Han, vilde dog ikke høre hende, men tog hende med Vold, krænkede hende og lå hos hende.
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.”
Men bagefter hadede Amnon hende med et såre stort Had; ja det Had, han følte mod hende, var større end den Kærlighed, han havde båret til hende. Og Amnon sagde til hende: "Stå op og gå din Vej!"
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.
Da sagde hun til ham: "Nej, Broder! Den Udåd, at du nu jager mig bort, er endnu større end den anden, du øvede imod mig!" Han vilde dog ikke høre hende,
17 Instead, he called his personal servant and said, “Take this woman away from me, and bolt the door after her.”
men kaldte på den unge Mand, der var hans Tjener, og sagde: "Få mig hende der ud af Huset og stæng Døren efter hende!"
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.
Hun bar en fodsid Kjortel med Ærmer; thi således klædte Jomfruerne blandt Kongedøtrene sig fordum. Tjeneren førte hende da ud af Huset og stængede Døren efter hende.
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.
Men Tamar strøede Aske på sit Hoved og sønderrev den fodside Kjortel, hun havde på, og tog sig til Hovedet og skreg ustandseligt, medens hun gik bort.
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.
Da sagde hendes Broder Absalon til hende: "Har din Broder Amnon været hos dig? Ti nu stille, Søster! Han er jo din Broder; tag dig ikke den Sag nær!" Tamar sad da ensom hen i sin Broder Absalons Hus.
21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
Da Kong David hørte alt dette, blev han meget vred; men han bebrejdede ikke sin Søn Amnon noget, thi han elskede ham, fordi han var hans førstefødte.
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.
Og Absalon talte ikke til Amnon, hverken ondt eller godt; thi Absalon hadede Amnon, fordi han havde krænket hans Søster Tamar.
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.
Men et Par År efter holdt Absalon Fåreklipning i Ba'al-Hazor, som ligger ved Efraim, og dertil indbød Absalon alle Kongesønnerne.
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.”
Absalon kom til Kongen og sagde: "Se, din Træl holder Fåreklipning; vil ikke Kongen og hans Folk tage med din Træl derhen?"
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.
Men Kongen sagde til Absalon: "Nej, min Søn! Vi vil ikke alle gå med, for at vi ikke skal falde dig til Byrde!" Og skønt han nødte ham, vilde han ikke gå med, men tog Afsked med ham.
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?”
Da sagde Absalon: "Så lad i alt Fald min Broder Amnon gå med!" Men Kongen sagde til ham: "Hvorfor skal han med?"
27 Absalom pressed David, and so he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
Da Absalon nødte ham, lod han dog Amnon og de andre Kongesønner gå med. Og Absalon gjorde et kongeligt Gæstebud.
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.”
Men Absalon gav sine Folk den Befaling: "Pas på, når Vinen er gået Amnon til Hovedet; når jeg så siger til eder: Hug Amnon ned! dræb ham så! Frygt ikke; det er mig, som befaler jer det. Tag Mod til jer og vis jer som kække Mænd!"
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.
Absalons Folk gjorde ved Amnon, som Absalon havde befalet. Da brød alle Kongesønnerne op, besteg deres Muldyr og flyede.
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.”
Medens de endnu var undervejs, nåede det Rygte David: "Absalon har hugget alle Kongesønnerne ned, ikke en eneste er tilbage af dem!"
31 Then the king arose and tore his clothes, and lay on the floor; all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
Da stod Kongen op, sønderrev sine Klæder og lagde sig på Jorden; også alle hans Folk, som stod hos, sønderrev deres Klæder.
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.
Men Jonadab Davids Broder Sjim'as Søn, tog til Orde og sagde: "Min Herre må ikke tro, at de har dræbt alle de unge Kongesønner; kun Amnon er død, thi der har været noget ved Absalons Mund, som ikke varslede godt, lige siden den Dag Amnon krænkede hans Søster Tamar.
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.”
Derfor må min Herre Kongen ikke, tage sig det nær og tro, at alle Kongesønnerne er døde. Kun Amnon er død!"
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.
Da den unge Mand, som holdt Udkig, så ud, fik han Øje på en Mængde Mennesker, som kom ned ad Skråningen på Vejen til Horonajim, og han gik ind og meldte Kongen: "Jeg kan se, der kommer Mennesker ned ad Bjergsiden på Vejen til Horonajim."
35 Then Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the king's sons are coming. It is just as your servant said.”
Da sagde Jonadab til Kongen: "Der kommer Kongesønnerne; det er, som din Træl sagde!"
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.
Og som han havde sagt det, kom Kongesønnerne, og de brast i Gråd; også Kongen og alle hans folk brast i heftig Gråd.
37 But Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
Men Absalon flygtede og begav sig til Kong Talmaj, Ammihuds Søn, i Gesjur. Og Kongen sørgede over sin Søn i al den Tid.
38 So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, where he was for three years.
Da Absalon flygtede, begav han sig til Gesjur, og der blev han tre År.
39 The mind of King David longed to go out to see Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon and his death.
Men Kongen begyndte at længes inderligt efter Absalon, thi han havde trøstet sig over Amnons Død.
