< 2 Samuel 13 >
1 Après cela, il arriva qu’Absalom, fils de David, ayant une sœur qui était belle et qui s’appelait Thamar, Amnon, fils de David, l’aima.
And it was after thus and [belonged] to Absalom [the] son of David a sister a beautiful and name her [was] Tamar and he loved her Amnon [the] son of David.
2 Amnon se tourmentait, jusqu’à se rendre malade, au sujet de Thamar, sa sœur; car elle était vierge, et il semblait impossible à Amnon de lui rien faire.
And it was distress to Amnon to make himself sick for sake of Tamar sister his for [was] a virgin she and it was difficult in [the] eyes of Amnon to do to her anything.
3 Amnon avait un ami, nommé Jonadab, fils de Sammaa, frère de David, et Jonadab était un homme fort avisé.
And [belonged] to Amnon a friend and name his [was] Jonadab [the] son of Shimeah [the] brother of David and Jonadab [was] a man shrewd very.
4 Il lui dit: « Pourquoi es-tu ainsi défait, fils du roi, chaque matin? Ne me l’indiqueras-tu pas? » Amnon lui répondit: « J’aime Thamar, sœur de mon frère Absalom. »
And he said to him why? [are] you thus weak O son of the king in the morning in the morning ¿ not will you tell to me and he said to him Amnon Tamar [the] sister of Absalom brother my I [am] loving.
5 Jonadab lui dit: « Mets-toi au lit et fais le malade. Quand ton père viendra te voir, tu lui diras: Permets, je te prie, que Thamar, ma sœur, vienne me donner à manger, et qu’elle prépare le mets sous mes yeux, afin que je le voie, et je mangerai de sa main. »
And he said to him Jonadab lie down on bed your and make yourself sick and he will come father your to see you and you will say to him let her come please Tamar sister my and let her cause to eat me food and she will make to eyes my the food so that that I may see and I will eat from hand her.
6 Amnon se coucha et fit le malade. Le roi vint le voir, et Amnon dit au roi: « Je te prie, que Thamar, ma sœur, vienne faire deux gâteaux sous mes yeux, et que je les mange de sa main. »
And he lay down Amnon and he made himself sick and he came the king to see him and he said Amnon to the king let her come please Tamar sister my and let her make cakes to eyes my two cakes so I may eat from hand her.
7 David envoya dire à Thamar dans la maison: « Va à la maison de ton frère Amnon et prépare-lui un mets. »
And he sent David to Tamar the house towards saying go please [the] house of Amnon brother your and make for him the food.
8 Thamar alla chez son frère Amnon, qui était couché. Prenant de la pâte, elle la pétrit, la mit en gâteaux sous ses yeux et fit cuire les gâteaux;
And she went Tamar [the] house of Amnon brother her and he [was] lying down and she took the dough (and she kneaded [it] *Q(k)*) and she made cakes to eyes his and she cooked the cakes.
9 elle prit ensuite la poêle et les versa devant lui. Mais il refusa de manger. Amnon dit alors: « Faites sortir d’auprès de moi tout le monde. » Lorsque tous furent sortis d’auprès de lui,
And she took the pan and she poured out before him and he refused to eat and he said Amnon send out every person from with me and they went out every person from with him.
10 Amnon dit à Thamar: « Apporte le mets dans l’alcôve, et que je le mange de ta main. » Thamar prit les gâteaux qu’elle avait faits, et les apporta à son frère Amnon dans l’alcôve.
And he said Amnon to Tamar bring the food the chamber so I may eat from hand your and she took Tamar the cakes which she had made and she brought [them] to Amnon brother her the chamber towards.
11 Comme elle les lui présentait à manger, il la saisit et lui dit: « Viens, couche avec moi, ma sœur. »
And she brought [them] to him to eat and he took hold on her and he said to her come lie with me O sister my.
12 Elle lui répondit: « Non, mon frère, ne me déshonore pas, car on n’agit pas ainsi en Israël; ne commets pas cette infamie.
And she said to him may [you] not O brother my may not you humble me for not it will be done thus in Israel may not you do the disgraceful folly this.
13 Moi, où irais-je porter ma honte? Et toi, tu serais comme l’un des infâmes en Israël. Parles-en au roi, je te prie, et il ne refusera pas de me donner à toi. »
And I where? will I bring reproach my and you you will be like one of the fools in Israel and now speak please to the king for not he will withhold me from you.
14 Mais il ne voulut pas écouter sa voix; plus fort qu’elle, il la violenta et coucha avec elle.
And not he was willing to listen to voice her and he was strong more than her and he humbled her and he lay with with her.
15 Aussitôt Amnon eut pour elle une très forte aversion, et la haine dont il la haït fut plus forte que l’amour dont il l’avait aimée; et Amnon lui dit: « Lève-toi, va-t-en! »
And he hated her Amnon hatred great very that [was] great the hatred which he hated her more than [the] love which he had loved her and he said to her Amnon get up go.
16 Elle lui répondit: « Au mal que tu m’as fait, n’ajoute pas le mal plus grand encore de me chasser. » Mais, sans vouloir l’écouter,
And she said to him may not [the] causes of the evil great this [be] more than [the] other which you have done with me to send away me and not he was willing to listen to her.
17 il appela le garçon qui le servait et dit: « Jetez cette femme dehors, loin de moi; et ferme la porte derrière elle. »
And he summoned young man his [who] served him and he said send away please this [woman] from with me the outside towards and lock the door after her.
18 Or elle avait une robe longue, car c’était le vêtement que portaient les filles du roi encore vierges. Le serviteur d’Amnon la mit dehors et ferma la porte derrière elle.
And [was] on her a long garment of palms and soles for thus they wore [the] daughters of the king the virgins robes and he made go out her servant his the outside and he locked the door after her.
19 Thamar prit de la poussière et la mit sur sa tête; elle déchira la longue robe qu’elle portait et, mettant la main sur sa tête, elle s’en alla en poussant des cris.
And she took Tamar ash[es] on head her and [the] long garment of the palms and soles which [was] on her she tore and she put hand her on head her and she went continuously and she cried out.
20 Absalom, son frère, lui dit: « Ton frère Amnon a-t-il été avec toi? Maintenant, ma sœur, tais-toi, c’est ton frère; ne prends pas cette affaire à cœur. » Et Thamar demeura, désolée, dans la maison de son frère Absalom.
And he said to her Absalom brother her ¿ Amnon brother your has he been with you and now O sister my keep silent [is] brother your he may not you set heart your to the matter this and she dwelt Tamar a desolate [woman] [the] house of Absalom brother her.
21 Lorsque le roi David apprit toutes ces choses, il fut très irrité. ( La Vulgate ajoute: Mais il ne voulut pas contrister l’esprit d’Amnon, son fils, car il l’aimait comme étant son premier né. ) —
And the king David he heard all the things these and it burned to him exceedingly.
22 Absalom n’adressait plus aucune parole, bonne ou mauvaise, à Amnon, car Absalom haïssait Amnon, à cause de l’outrage fait à Thamar, sa sœur.
And not he spoke Absalom with Amnon from bad and unto good for he hated Absalom Amnon on [the] thing that he had humbled Tamar sister his.
23 Deux ans après, Absalom avait les tondeurs à Baal-Hasor, près d’Ephraïm, et Absalom invita tous les fils du roi.
And it was to two years days and they belonged shearers to Absalom at Baal Hazor which [is] near Ephraim and he invited Absalom all [the] sons of the king.
24 Absalom alla trouver le roi et dit: « Voici que ton serviteur a les tondeurs; que le roi et ses domestiques viennent chez ton serviteur. »
And he went Absalom to the king and he said here! please shearers [belong] to servant your let him go please the king and servants his with servant your.
25 Et le roi dit à Absalom: « Non, mon fils, nous n’irons pas tous, de peur que nous ne te soyons à charge. » Absalom fit des instances, mais le roi ne voulut pas y aller, et il le bénit.
And he said the king to Absalom may [we] not O son my may not please we go all of us and not we will be heavy on you and he urged him and not he was willing to go and he blessed him.
26 Alors Absalom dit: « Si tu ne viens pas, permets du moins à Amnon, mon frère, de venir avec nous. » Le roi répondit: « Pourquoi irait-il avec toi? »
And he said Absalom and not let him go please with us Amnon brother my and he said to him the king why? will he go with you.
27 Absalom ayant insisté, le roi laissa aller avec lui Amnon et tous les fils du roi.
And he urged him Absalom and he sent with him Amnon and all [the] sons of the king.
28 Absalom donna cet ordre à ses serviteurs: « Faites attention! Quand le cœur d’Amnon sera gavé par le vin et que je vous dirai: Frappez Amnon! vous le tuerez. Ne craignez pas; n’est-ce pas moi qui vous l’ai commandé? Soyez fermes et montrez du courage! »
And he commanded Absalom servants his saying look please when is good [the] heart of Amnon with the wine and I will say to you strike down Amnon and you will kill him may not you be afraid ¿ In-deed I I have commanded you be strong and become sons of strength.
29 Les serviteurs d’Absalom firent à Amnon comme Absalom l’avait ordonné. Et tous les fils du roi se levant, montèrent chacun sur sa mule et s’enfuirent.
And they did [the] servants of Absalom to Amnon just as he had commanded Absalom and they arose - all [the] sons of the king and they mounted each on mule his and they fled.
30 Comme ils étaient encore en chemin, ce bruit arriva à David: « Absalom a tué tous les fils du roi, et il n’en est pas resté un seul. »
And it was they [were] on the way and the report it came to David saying he has struck down Absalom all [the] sons of the king and not he is left of them one.
31 Le roi se leva, déchira ses vêtements et se coucha par terre, et tous ses serviteurs se tenaient là, les vêtements déchirés.
And he arose the king and he tore garments his and he lay down [the] ground towards and all servants his [were] standing torn of garments.
32 Jonadab, fils de Semmaa, frère de David, prit la parole et dit: « Que mon seigneur ne dise pas qu’on a tué tous les jeunes gens, fils du roi; Amnon seul est mort. C’est une chose qui était sur les lèvres d’Absalom depuis le jour où Amnon a déshonoré Thamar, sa sœur.
And he answered Jonadab - [the] son of Shimeah [the] brother of David and he said may not he say lord my all the young men [the] sons of the king they have killed for Amnon to only him he has died for on [the] mouth of Absalom it was determined from [the] day humbled he Tamar sister his.
33 Et maintenant, que le roi mon seigneur ne s’imagine pas que tous les fils du roi sont morts; car Amnon seul est mort. »
And therefore may not he set lord my the king to heart his a word saying all [the] sons of the king they have died that (except *Q(K)*) Amnon to only him he has died.
34 Et Absalom prit la fuite. Or le jeune homme placé en sentinelle leva les yeux et regarda, et voici qu’une grande troupe venait par la route occidentale, du côté de la montagne.
And he fled Absalom and he lifted up the servant who kept watch (eyes his *Q(K)*) and he saw and there! a people numerous [was] coming from [the] road behind him (at the descent and he went the watchman and he told to the king and he said men I saw [were] going down from direction of Horonaim *X*) from [the] side of the mountain.
35 Jonadab dit au roi: « Voici les fils du roi qui arrivent; les choses se sont passées comme le disait ton serviteur. »
And he said Jonadab to the king there! [the] sons of the king they have come according to [the] word of servant your so it has happened.
36 Comme il achevait de parler, les fils du roi arrivèrent et, élevant la voix, ils pleurèrent; le roi aussi et tous ses serviteurs versèrent des larmes abondantes.
And it was - when finished he to speak and there! [the] sons of the king they came and they lifted up voice their and they wept and also the king and all servants his they wept a weeping a great very.
37 Mais Absalom s’enfuit et s’en alla chez Tholomaï, fils d’Ammiud, roi de Gessur. Et David faisait le deuil de son fils tous les jours.
And Absalom he fled and he went to Talmai [the] son of (Ammihud *Q(K)*) [the] king of Geshur and he mourned on son his all the days.
38 Absalom s’enfuit et s’en alla à Gessur, et il y fut trois ans.
And Absalom he fled and he went Geshur and he was there three years.
39 Et le roi David renonça à poursuivre Absalom, car il s’était consolé de la mort d’Amnon.
And it [fem] completed David the king to go out against Absalom for he was comforted on Amnon that he had died.
