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.
Og det skete derefter, da Absalom, Davids Søn, havde en dejlig Søster, hvis Navn var Thamar, at Amnon, Davids Søn, elskede hende.
2 And Amnon was so afflicted, 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.
Og Amnon pintes, saa at han blev syg for Thamar, sin Søsters, Skyld; thi hun var en Jomfru, og det syntes umuligt for Amnons Øjne at gøre hende noget.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name [was] Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab [was] a very subtil man.
Men Amnon havde en Ven, hvis Navn var Jonadab, en Søn af Simea, Davids Broder, og Jonadab var en saare klog Mand.
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.
Og han sagde til ham: Hvorfor bliver du saa mager, du Kongens Søn, Dag for Dag? kan du ikke give mig det til Kende? Da sagde Ammon til ham: Jeg elsker Thamar, Absaloms, min Broders, Søster.
5 And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself 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 dress the food in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand.
Og Jonadab sagde til ham: Læg dig paa din Seng og gør dig syg; naar din Fader kommer at besøge dig, da sig til ham: Kære, lad Thamar, min Søster, komme, at give mig Brød at æde og lave Mad for mine Øjne, at jeg kan se derpaa og æde af hendes Haand.
6 So Amnon lay down and made himself 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.
Saa lagde Amnon sig og gjorde sig syg; der Kongen kom at besøge ham, da sagde Amnon til Kongen: Kære, lad Thamar, min Søster, komme og tillave to søde Kager for mine Øjne, at jeg kan æde af hendes Haand.
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress meat for him.
Da sendte David til Thamar i Huset og lod sige: Kære, gak hen i Amnons, din Broders, Hus og lav ham Mad.
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.
Og Thamar gik til Amnons, sin Broders, Hus, og han laa, og hun tog en Dejg og æltede og tillavede Kager for hans Øjne og bagte søde Kager.
9 And she took a pan, and poured [them] out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
Og hun tog Panden og slog dem ud for hans Ansigt, men han vægrede sig for at æde; da sagde Amnon: Lad hver Mand gaa ud fra mig, og de gik ud fra ham alle sammen.
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.
Da sagde Amnon til Thamar: Bær Maden ind i Kammeret, at jeg kan æde af din Haand; da tog Thamar de søde Kager, som hun havde lavet, og bar dem ind til Amnon, sin Broder, i Kammeret.
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.
Og der hun bar dem frem til ham, at han skulde æde, da tog han fat paa hende og sagde til hende: Kom, min Søster, og lig hos mig.
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.
Og hun sagde til ham: Ikke saa, min Broder! krænk mig ikke, thi man bør ikke saaledes gøre i Israel; gør ikke denne Daarlighed.
13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou wilt 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.
Men jeg, hvor skulde jeg gaa hen med min Skam? og du, du skulde være ligesom en af Daarerne i Israel; men nu, kære, tal til Kongen, thi han nægter dig mig ikke.
14 Howbeit, he would not hearken to her voice: but being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
Men han vilde ikke høre paa hendes Røst og var stærkere end hun, og han krænkede hende og laa hos hende.
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.
Siden hadede Amnon hende med et saare stort Had; thi det Had, som han hadede hende med, var større end Kærligheden, med hvilken han havde elsket hende; og Amnon sagde til hende: Staa op, gak bort.
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.
Og hun sagde til ham: Vold mig ikke den Ulykke, som er større end det andet, som du gjorde imod mig, saa at du udstøder mig; men han vilde ikke høre hende.
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.
Og han kaldte ad sin Dreng, som tjente ham, og sagde: Driv dog denne ud fra mig udenfor, og luk du Døren i Laas efter hende.
18 And [she had] a garment of divers colors upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters [that were] virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
Og hun havde en broget Kjortel paa; thi i saadanne Kjortler plejede Kongens Døtre at klæde sig, saalænge de vare Jomfruer; og hans Tjener drev hende ud udenfor og lukkede Døren i Laas efter hende.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
Da tog Thamar Aske paa sit Hoved og sønderrev den brogede Kjortel, som hun havde paa, og lagde sin Haand paa sit Hoved og gik og raabte uafladelig.
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.
Og Absalom, hendes Broder, sagde til hende: Har din Broder Amnon været hos dig? og nu, min Søster, ti! han er din Broder, læg ikke denne Sag paa dit Hjerte. Saa sad Thamar enlig i sin Broder Absaloms Hus.
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
Der Kong David hørte alle disse Gerninger, da blev han saare vred.
22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
Men Absalom talede ikke med Amnon, hverken ondt eller godt; men Absalom hadede Amnon, fordi han havde krænket Thamar, hans Søster.
23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which [is] beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
Og det skete to Aar derefter, da havde Absalom Faareklipning i Baal-Hazor, som er ved Efraim, og Absalom indbød alle Kongens Børn.
24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
Og Absalom kom til Kongen og sagde: Kære, se, din Tjener har Faareklipning, Kongen og hans Tjenere komme dog med din Tjener!
25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable to thee. And he pressed him: yet he would not go, but blessed him.
Og Kongen sagde til Absalom: Nej, min Søn, lad os dog ikke alle gaa, at vi ikke skulle besvære dig; der han nødte ham, vilde han dog ikke gaa, men velsignede ham.
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?
Og Absalom sagde: Hvis du ikke vil, lad dog Amnon, min Broder, gaa med os; og Kongen sagde til ham: Hvorfor skal han gaa med dig?
27 But Absalom pressed him that he should let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
Da nødte Absalom ham, og han lod Amnon og alle Kongens Børn gaa med ham.
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.
Men Absalom bød sine unge Karle og sagde: Ser til, naar Amnons Hjerte er vel til Mode af Vinen, og jeg siger til eder: Slaar Amnon! saa dræber ham, frygter ikke; er det ikke mig, som har befalet eder det? værer frimodige og værer raske Folk!
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.
Saa gjorde Absaloms unge Karle ved Amnon, saaledes som Absalom havde befalet. Da stode alle Kongens Sønner op og rede hver paa sin Mule og flyede.
30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that information came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
Og det skete, der de vare paa Vejen, da kom Rygtet til David, og der sagdes: Absalom har slaget alle Kongens Sønner, og der blev ikke een af dem tilovers.
31 Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
Da stod Kongen op og sønderrev sine Klæder og lagde sig paa Jorden, og alle hans Tjenere stode med sønderrevne Klæder.
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.
Da svarede Jonadab, en Søn af Simea, Davids Broder, og sagde: Min Herre sige ikke, at de have ihjelslaget alle de unge Mænd, Kongens Sønner; thi Amnon alene er død; thi det Forsæt har været i Absaloms Mund fra den Dag, at han krænkede Thamar, hans Søster.
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.
Saa lægge nu min Herre Konge ikke det Ord paa sit Hjerte, som siges, at alle Kongens Sønner ere døde; thi Amnon alene er død.
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 hillside behind him.
Men Absalom flyede. Og den unge Karl, som stod paa Vagt, opløftede sine Øjne og saa, og se, der drog meget Folk frem paa Vejen efter hverandre ved Siden af Bjerget.
35 And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come; as thy servant said, so it is.
Da sagde Jonadab til Kongen: Se, Kongens Sønner komme; som din Tjeners Ord var, saaledes er det sket.
36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of 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.
Og det skete, der han havde endt at tale, se, da kom Kongens Sønner, og de opløftede deres Røst og græd, og Kongen ogsaa, og alle hans Tjenere græd med en saare stor Graad.
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 flyede og drog til Thalmaj, Ammihuds Søn, Kongen i Gesur. Og han sørgede over sin Søn alle de Dage.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
Der Absalom var flygtet og var draget til Gesur, da blev han der tre Aar.
39 And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
Og Kong David længtes efter at drage ud til Absalom; thi han havde trøstet sig over Amnon, der var død.
