2 Samuel 13

1 And it cometh to pass afterwards that Absalom son of David hath a fair sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loveth her.

Absalom putra Daud mempunyai seorang adik perempuan yang cantik, namanya Tamar. Amnon putra Daud dari istri yang lain, jatuh cinta kepada Tamar

2 And Amnon hath distress — even to become sick, because of Tamar his sister, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.

dan ingin tidur bersamanya. Tetapi itu mustahil baginya karena Tamar belum kawin dan tidak boleh bergaul dengan laki-laki. Amnon terus-menerus memikirkan hal itu sampai akhirnya ia jatuh sakit.

3 And Amnon hath a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David's brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,

Amnon mempunyai seorang sahabat yang sangat cerdik, namanya Yonadab anak Simea abang Daud.

4 and saith to him, 'Wherefore [art] thou thus lean, O king's son, morning by morning? dost thou not declare to me?' And Amnon saith to him, 'Tamar — sister of Absalom my brother — I am loving.'

Yonadab berkata kepada Amnon, "Pangeran, mengapa setiap hari engkau kelihatan begitu sedih? Ada apa?" Jawab Amnon, "Aku jatuh cinta kepada Tamar, adik Absalom saudaraku itu."

5 And Jonadab saith to him, 'Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou hast said unto him, 'Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.'

Lalu kata Yonadab kepadanya, "Itu mudah saja! Berbaringlah di tempat tidur, dan buatlah seolah-olah sedang sakit. Jika ayahmu datang menengokmu, katakan kepadanya, 'Ayah, izinkanlah Tamar datang supaya diberinya aku makan. Jika aku dapat melihat dia memasak makanan itu di sini, aku bisa makan.'"

6 And Amnon lieth down, and feigneth himself sick, and the king cometh in to see him, and Amnon saith unto the king, 'Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come, and she maketh before mine eyes two cakes, and I eat from her hand.'

Kemudian Amnon berbaring di tempat tidur, seolah-olah sakit. Ketika Raja Daud datang menengoknya, Amnon berkata kepadanya, "Ayah, izinkanlah Tamar datang untuk memasak kue di hadapanku di sini; nanti aku akan mau makan."

7 And David sendeth unto Tamar, to the house, saying, 'Go, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and make for him food.'

Kemudian Daud mengirim pesan kepada Tamar di istana, katanya, "Pergilah ke rumah abangmu Amnon, dan buatlah makanan untuk dia."

8 And Tamar goeth to the house of Amnon her brother, and he is lying down, and she taketh the dough, and kneadeth, and maketh cakes before his eyes, and cooketh the cakes,

Lalu Tamar pergi ke sana dan mendapati Amnon berbaring di tempat tidur. Tamar mengambil sedikit adonan, lalu di depan Amnon ia menyiapkan kue untuk dipanggang.

9 and taketh the frying-pan, and poureth out before him, and he refuseth to eat, and Amnon saith, 'Take ye out every one from me;' and they go out every one from him.

Setelah itu dikeluarkannya kue itu dari panci dan dihidangkannya. Tetapi Amnon tidak mau makan. Ia berkata, "Suruhlah semuanya keluar dari sini!"

10 And Amnon saith unto Tamar, 'Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from thy hand;' and Tamar taketh the cakes that she hath made, and bringeth in to Amnon her brother, into the inner chamber,

Setelah semua orang keluar dari kamar itu, berkatalah Amnon kepada Tamar, "Bawalah kue-kue itu ke mari, ke tempat tidurku, dan suapilah aku!" Tamar menurut.

11 and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold on her, and saith to her, 'Come, lie with me, my sister.'

Tetapi ketika Tamar mengulurkan kue itu kepadanya, Amnon memegang gadis itu sambil berkata, "Dik, mari tidur bersamaku!"

12 And she saith to him, 'Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not this folly.

"Ah, jangan, bang!" jawab gadis itu. "Janganlah kaupaksa aku melakukan hal yang sehina itu! Hal seperti itu tak pernah dilakukan di Israel.

13 And I — whither do I cause my reproach to go? and thou — thou art as one of the fools in Israel; and now, speak, I pray thee, unto the king; for he doth not withhold me from thee.'

Jika terjadi begitu, ke mana aku harus menyembunyikan mukaku? Lagipula, engkau pun akan dihina orang di Israel ini. Sebaiknya engkau bicarakanlah dengan raja, pasti raja akan setuju aku menjadi istrimu."

14 And he hath not been willing to hearken to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbleth her, and lieth with her.

Tetapi Amnon tidak mau menurut, dan karena ia lebih kuat, dipaksanya adiknya itu dengan kekerasan, lalu diperkosanya.

15 And Amnon hateth her — a very great hatred — that greater [is] the hatred with which he hath hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon saith to her, 'Rise, go.'

Tetapi sesudah itu Amnon sangat benci kepada Tamar dan kebenciannya itu lebih besar daripada cintanya semula. Lalu ia berkata kepada adiknya itu, "Ke luar!"

16 And she saith to him, 'Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that thou hast done with me — to send me away;' and he hath not been willing to hearken to her,

Tamar menjawab, "Ah, mengapa begitu bang? Kalau kauusir aku, kejahatan itu lebih besar daripada hal yang telah kaulakukan tadi!" Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan.

17 and calleth his young man, his servant, and saith, 'Send away, I pray thee, this one from me without, and bolt the door after her;'

Ia memanggil pelayan pribadinya lalu berkata, "Bawalah perempuan ini ke luar, dan kuncilah pintu!"

18 — and upon her [is] a long coat, for such upper robes do daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on, — and his servant taketh her out without, and hath bolted the door after her.

Pelayan itu melakukan perintahnya itu. Pakaian Tamar adalah jubah panjang yang berlengan panjang. Pada zaman itu putri-putri yang belum kawin biasanya memakai pakaian seperti itu.

19 And Tamar taketh ashes for her head, and the long coat that [is] on her she hath rent, and putteth her hand on her head, and goeth, going on and crying;

Lalu Tamar menaruh abu di kepalanya, menyobek jubahnya, dan pergi sambil menutup mukanya dengan kedua tangannya serta menangis pilu.

20 and Absalom her brother saith unto her, 'Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] thy brother; set not thy heart to this thing;' and Tamar dwelleth — but desolate — in the house of Absalom her brother.

Ketika Absalom melihatnya, bertanyalah ia, "Apakah Amnon tadi melanggar kehormatanmu? Sudahlah adikku, jangan kaupikirkan lagi. Kan dia abangmu, jadi janganlah beritahukan hal itu kepada siapa-siapa." Lalu Tamar mengasingkan diri di rumah Absalom, dan ia sangat sedih serta kesepian.

21 And king David hath heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;

Raja Daud mendengar tentang peristiwa itu, dan ia menjadi sangat marah.

22 and Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled Tamar his sister.

Absalom dendam sekali kepada Amnon dan tidak mau lagi berbicara dengan dia karena ia telah memperkosa Tamar adiknya.

23 And it cometh to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom hath shearers in Baal-Hazor, which [is] with Ephraim, and Absalom calleth for all the sons of the king.

Dua tahun kemudian Absalom mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor, dekat kota Efraim, dan ia mengundang semua putra raja.

24 And Absalom cometh unto the king, and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath shearers, let the king go, I pray thee, and his servants, with thy servant.'

Ia menghadap Raja Daud dan berkata, "Ayah, aku mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba. Sudilah Ayah datang juga ke pesta itu dengan para pembesar istana."

25 And the king saith unto Absalom, 'Nay, my son, let us not all go, I pray thee, and we are not too heavy on thee;' and he presseth on him, and he hath not been willing to go, and he blesseth him.

Tetapi raja menjawab, "Jangan, Anakku, sebab jika kami semua datang kami akan menyusahkanmu." Absalom terus mendesak, tetapi ayahnya tetap tidak mau datang. Ia hanya memberi restu kepadanya.

26 And Absalom saith, 'If not — let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us;' and the king saith to him, 'Why doth he go with thee?'

Lalu berkatalah Absalom, "Kalau begitu, izinkanlah saudaraku Amnon ikut dengan kami." Kata raja, "Tak usahlah dia ikut."

27 and Absalom urgeth on him, and he sendeth with him Amnon, and all the sons of the king.

Tetapi karena Absalom terus mendesak, akhirnya Daud mengizinkan Amnon dan semua putranya yang lain ikut dengan Absalom. (Lalu Absalom menghidangkan makanan yang mewah sekali.)

28 And Absalom commandeth his young men, saying, 'See, I pray thee, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said unto you, Smite Amnon, that ye have put him to death; fear not; is it not because I have commanded you? be strong, yea, become sons of valour.'

Ia memerintahkan kepada hamba-hambanya, "Perhatikan baik-baik, jika Amnon sudah mabuk karena minum anggur, aku akan memberi aba-aba, lalu bunuhlah dia. Jangan takut. Aku yang bertanggung jawab atas hal itu. Bertindaklah dengan berani dan jangan ragu-ragu!"

29 And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and rise do all the sons of the king, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.

Hamba-hamba itu melaksanakan perintah Absalom, lalu mereka membunuh Amnon. Melihat itu putra-putra Daud yang lain menaiki bagalnya masing-masing dan melarikan diri.

30 And it cometh to pass — they [are] in the way — and the report hath come unto David, saying, 'Absalom hath smitten all the sons of the king, and there is not left of them one;'

Sementara mereka masih dalam perjalanan pulang, diberitahu orang kepada Daud, "Absalom telah membunuh semua putra Baginda--tak seorang pun yang hidup!"

31 and the king riseth, and rendeth his garments, and lieth on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] rent garments.

Raja bangkit, lalu menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan merebahkan dirinya ke lantai. Semua pegawainya ikut menyobek pakaian mereka.

32 And Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, answereth and saith, 'Let not my lord say, The whole of the young men, the sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone [is] dead, for by the command of Absalom it hath been appointed from the day of his humbling Tamar his sister;

Tetapi Yonadab anak Simea abang Daud berkata, "Baginda, jangan cemas dan jangan pikir bahwa semua putra Baginda sudah mati. Hanya Amnon yang tewas, sebab sudah jelas bahwa itulah yang dikehendaki Absalom sejak Tamar adiknya diperkosa oleh Amnon.

33 and now, let not my lord the king lay unto his heart the word, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [is] dead.'

Jadi janganlah percaya bahwa putra Baginda telah meninggal semua, sebab yang tewas hanyalah Amnon saja."

34 And Absalom fleeth, and the young man who is watching lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, much people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.

Sementara itu Absalom telah melarikan diri. Penjaga istana Daud melihat banyak orang datang menuruni gunung dari jurusan Horonaim. Maka pergilah ia kepada raja melaporkan hal itu.

35 And Jonadab saith unto the king, 'Lo, the sons of the king have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.'

Lalu Yonadab berkata kepada Daud, "Itulah putra-putra Baginda! Betul seperti yang hamba katakan tadi."

36 And it cometh to pass at his finishing to speak, that lo, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept — a very great weeping.

Baru saja ia selesai bicara, masuklah putra-putra Daud ke dalam ruangan. Mereka itu mulai menangis, dan Daud serta hamba-hambanya juga menangis dengan sedih.

37 And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourneth for his son all the days.

Absalom mengungsi ke istana raja negeri Gesur, yaitu Talmai anak Amihur. Ia tinggal di situ selama tiga tahun. Lama Daud berkabung untuk Amnon,

38 And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there three years;

39 and [the soul of] king David determineth to go out unto Absalom, for he hath been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.

tetapi setelah Daud tak bersedih hati lagi, ia sangat merindukan Absalom.
