2 Samuel 13
1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
Sidan hende denne tilburden: Absalom Davidsson hadde ei væn syster som heitte Tamar, og Amnon Davidsson lagde hugen til henne.
2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her.
Ja Ammon pintest so, at han vart heiltupp sjuk av lyst til syster si; for ho var møy; og Ammon øygnde ingen utveg til å gjera henne noko.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
Amnon hadde ein ven, som heitte Jonadab, son til Simea, bror åt David. Jonadab var ein utkropen kar.
4 And he said to him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, pining from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.
Han spurde honom: «Kvi magrast du so, du kongsson, frå dag til annan? Fortel meg det?» Amnon svara: «Eg hev huglagt Tamar, syster åt Absalom, bror min!»
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and pretend that thou art sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
Då sagde Jonadab til honom: «Legg deg sjuk på sengi di! Og når far din kjem og ser til deg, so bed honom: «Kjære, lat Tamar, syster mi, koma og laga maten åt meg! Lat henne laga til mat for augo mine, so eg ser på! Og lat meg eta av hennar hand!»»
6 So Amnon lay down, and pretended that he was sick: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make for me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
Amnon lagde seg og lest som han var sjuk. Kongen kom og såg til honom. Og Amnon bad kongen: «Kjære, lat Tamar, syster mi, koma og laga tvo kakor åt meg so eg ser på og fær eta av hennar hand!»
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and prepare a meal for him.
David sende då bod inn i huset til Tamar og bad henne: «Gakk til huset åt Amnon, bror din, og laga noko mat åt honom!»
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
Tamar gjekk til huset åt Amnon, bror sin, der han låg til sengs. Ho tok deig og knoda, og laga kakorne so han såg på, og steikte deim.
9 And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Send out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
So tok ho panna og hadde deim or for honom; men han vilde ikkje eta. So sagde Amnon: «Gakk ut alle mann!» Og dei so gjorde.
10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
So segjer han med Tamar: «Kom med maten her inn i kammerset, so eg fær eta av handi di!» Og Tamar tok kakorne ho hadde laga, og gjekk inn i kammerset til Amnon, bror sin.
11 And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come lie with me, my sister.
Men då ho bar deim fram åt honom, so han skulde eta, greip han fat i henne og sagde: «Kom og ligg med meg, syster mi!»
12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
Ho svara: «Nei, bror min! Du må ikkje skjemma meg! Sovore må ikkje henda i Israel! Gjer ikkje so stygg ei gjerning!
13 And I, where shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
Kvar skulde eg gjera av meg med skammi? Og du sjølv vilde seinare heita eit styggeting i Israel. Tala fyrst med kongen! Han vil ikkje negta deg å få meg.»
14 However he would not hearken to her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
Men han vilde ikkje lyda henne. Han valdtok henne, skjemde henne, låg med henne.
15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.
Etterpå fekk Amnon brått ein øgjeleg illvilje til henne. Illviljen han åtte mot henne no, var endå meir ofseleg enn elsken han hadde havt til henne fyrr. «Ris upp og gakk med deg!» sagde Amnon til henne.
16 And she said to him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her.
Ho sagde til honom: «Ikkje auka skuldi med å gjera so stor ei ugjerning som å jaga meg! det vil vera endå verre enn det andre du hev gjort med meg.» Men han vilde ikkje høyra på henne,
17 Then he called his servant that ministered to him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
men ropa på drengen, som tente hjå honom: «Få henne der burt frå meg, ut på gata!» ropa han, «og læs døri etter henne!»
18 And she had a garment of many colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
Ho gjekk i sid ermekjole; i sovorne kappor var kongsdøtterne klædde med dei var unge gjentor. Tenaren førde henne ut på gata og læste døri etter henne.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of many colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
Då tok Tamar oska og hadde på hovudet, reiv sund ermekjolen ho gjekk i, lagde handi på hovudet og gjekk og øya seg i eino.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
Absalom, bror hennar, spurde henne: «Hev Amnon, bror din, vore hjå deg? Teg deg no, syster! Han er bror din. Bry deg ikkje um dette!» Tamar heldt seg då heime hjå Absalom, bror sin, einsleg og yvergjevi.
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
Då kong David spurde alt dette, loga harmen upp i honom.
22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Absalom sagde ingen ting med Amnon anten godt eller vondt. Men Absalom hata Amnon, for di han hadde skjemt Tamar, syster hans.
23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
Tvo år etter hadde Absalom saueklypping i Ba’al-Hasor attmed Efraim; og Absalom bad alle kongssønerne til gjester.
24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
Absalom gjekk då inn til kongen og sagde: «Tenaren din held saueklypping. Eg bed at kongen og tenarane hans vil vera med.»
25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he pressed him: yet he would not go, but blessed him.
Kongen svara Absalom: «Nei, guten min! Me må ikkje vera med alle; det vert for mykje bry for deg.» Endå han naudbad honom, vilde han ikkje, men bad farvel med honom.
26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?
Då sagde Absalom: «So lat då i alle fall bror Amnon vera med!» Kongen spurde: «Kvifor nett han?»
27 But Absalom pressed him, that he should let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
Men då Absalom naudbad honom, let han Amnon og alle kongssønerne vera med.
28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have I not commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
Absalom baud drengjerne: «Sjå etter når Amnon vert lystig av vinen, og eg segjer: «Hogg til Amnon!» So drep honom hugheilt! eg tek ansvaret. Ver hugsterke, og vis de er dugande karar!»
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man rode upon his mule, and fled.
Absaloms-drengjerne gjorde med Amnon som Absalom hadde bode. Då spratt dei upp alle kongssønerne, steig på muldyri sine og rømde.
30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the report came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
Med dei endå var på vegen, fekk David høyra ei tiend um at Absalom hadde drepe alle kongssønerne, so ikkje ein einaste var att av deim.
31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
Då reiste kongen seg og reiv sund klædi sine og lagde seg på golvet. Og alle tenarane som stod der, reiv og sund klædi sine.
32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
Men Jonadab, son åt Simea, bror åt David, tok til ords og sagde: «Herre, du må ikkje tru at dei hev drepe alle dei unge kongssønerne. Det er berre Amnon som er dåen. Eg hev lese ulukka på Absaloms munn alt frå den dagen då Amnon skjemde ut Tamar, syster hans.
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
Herre konge! no må du ikkje gjera deg so ilt av det, at du trur alle kongssønerne er daude. Nei, det er berre Amnon som er daud.»
34 But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came many people by the way of the hill side behind him.
Men Absalom flydde. Då vaktmannen såg ut, fekk han sjå mykje folk kom vegen ned fjellet attanfor.
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
Då sagde Jonadab til kongen: «Der kjem kongssønerne! Det er som eg sagde.»
36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept exceedingly.
Nett då han hadde tala ut, kom kongssønerne, og dei sette i og gret. Ogso kongen og alle tenarane storgret og stridgret.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
Men Absalom flydde og for til Talmai Ammihudsson, kongen i Gesur. Og han syrgde yver son sin heile tidi.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Absalom flydde og for til Gesur, og heldt seg der i tri år.
39 And the soul of king David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Men kong David let vera å draga ut mot Absalom; han hadde lote trøysta seg i sorgi yver at Amnon var dåen.
