2 Samuel 13

1 Sesudah itu terjadilah yang berikut. Absalom bin Daud mempunyai seorang adik perempuan yang cantik, namanya Tamar; dan Amnon bin Daud jatuh cinta kepadanya.

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.

2 Hati Amnon sangat tergoda, sehingga ia jatuh sakit karena Tamar, saudaranya itu, sebab anak perempuan itu masih perawan dan menurut anggapan Amnon mustahil untuk melakukan sesuatu terhadap dia.

And Amnon was so frustrated that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar. For she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

3 Amnon mempunyai seorang sahabat bernama Yonadab, anak Simea kakak Daud. Yonadab itu seorang yang sangat cerdik.

But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother. And Jonadab was a very sly man.

4 Katanya kepada Amnon: "Hai anak raja, mengapa engkau demikian merana setiap pagi? Tidakkah lebih baik engkau memberitahukannya kepadaku?" Kata Amnon kepadanya: "Aku cinta kepada Tamar, adik perempuan Absalom, saudaraku itu."

And he said to him, Why, O son of the king, are thou emaciated this way from day to day? Will thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

5 Lalu berkatalah Yonadab kepadanya: "Berbaringlah di tempat tidurmu dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Apabila ayahmu datang menengok engkau, maka haruslah engkau berkata kepadanya: Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang memberi aku makan. Apabila ia menyediakan makanan di depan mataku, sehingga aku dapat melihatnya, maka aku akan memakannya dari tangannya."

And Jonadab said to him, Lie down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick. And when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.

6 Sesudah itu berbaringlah Amnon dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Ketika raja datang menengok dia, berkatalah Amnon kepada raja: "Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang membuat barang dua kue di depan mataku, supaya aku memakannya dari tangannya."

So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick. And when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.

7 Lalu Daud menyuruh orang kepada Tamar, ke rumahnya, dengan pesan: "Pergilah ke rumah Amnon, kakakmu dan sediakanlah makanan baginya."

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and make food for him.

8 Maka Tamar pergi ke rumah Amnon, kakaknya, yang sedang berbaring-baring, lalu anak perempuan itu mengambil adonan, meremasnya dan membuat kue di depan matanya, kemudian dibakarnya kue itu.

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

9 Sesudah itu gadis itu mengambil kuali dan mengeluarkan isinya di depan Amnon, tetapi ia tidak mau makan. Berkatalah Amnon: "Suruhlah setiap orang keluar meninggalkan aku." Lalu keluarlah setiap orang meninggalkan dia.

And she took the pan, and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have all men out from me. And they went out every man from him.

10 Lalu berkatalah Amnon kepada Tamar: "Bawalah makanan itu ke dalam kamar, supaya aku memakannya dari tanganmu." Tamar mengambil kue yang disediakannya itu, lalu membawanya kepada Amnon, kakaknya, ke dalam kamar.

And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

11 Ketika gadis itu menghidangkannya kepadanya supaya ia makan, dipegangnyalah gadis itu dan berkata kepadanya: "Marilah tidur dengan aku, adikku."

And when she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

12 Tetapi gadis itu berkata kepadanya: "Tidak kakakku, jangan perkosa aku, sebab orang tidak berlaku seperti itu di Israel. Janganlah berbuat noda seperti itu.

And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not do thou this folly.

13 Dan aku, ke manakah kubawa kecemaranku? Dan engkau ini, engkau akan dianggap sebagai orang yang bebal di Israel. Oleh sebab itu, berbicaralah dengan raja, sebab ia tidak akan menolak memberikan aku kepadamu."

And I, where shall I carry my shame? And as for thee, thou will 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.

14 Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan perkataannya, dan sebab ia lebih kuat dari padanya, diperkosanyalah dia, lalu tidur dengan dia.

However he would not hearken to her voice, but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.

15 Kemudian timbullah kebencian yang sangat besar pada Amnon terhadap gadis itu, bahkan lebih besar benci yang dirasanya kepada gadis itu dari pada cinta yang dirasanya sebelumnya. Lalu Amnon berkata kepadanya: "Bangunlah, enyahlah!"

Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred, for 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.

16 Lalu berkatalah gadis itu kepadanya: "Tidak kakakku, sebab menyuruh aku pergi adalah lebih jahat dari pada apa yang telah kaulakukan kepadaku tadi." Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan dia.

And she said to him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is worse than the other that thou did to me. But he would not hearken to her.

17 Dipanggilnya orang muda yang melayani dia, katanya: "Suruhlah perempuan ini pergi dari padaku dan kuncilah pintu di belakangnya."

Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, Put this woman out from me now, and bolt the door after her.

18 Gadis itu memakai baju kurung yang maha indah; sebab demikianlah puteri-puteri raja yang masih perawan berpakaikan baju kurung panjang. Kemudian pelayan itu menyuruh dia keluar, lalu mengunci pintu di belakangnya.

And she had a garment of various colors upon her, for with such robes were the king's daughters who were virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

19 Lalu Tamar menaruh abu di atas kepalanya, mengoyakkan baju kurung yang maha indah yang dipakainya, meletakkan tangannya di atas kepalanya dan pergilah ia sambil meratap dengan nyaring.

And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her. And she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.

20 Bertanyalah Absalom, kakaknya, kepadanya: "Apakah Amnon, kakakmu itu, bersetubuh dengan engkau? Maka sekarang, adikku, diamlah saja, bukankah ia kakakmu, janganlah begitu memikirkan perkara itu." Lalu Tamar tinggal di rumah Absalom, kakaknya itu, seorang diri.

And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? But now hold thy peace, my sister. He is thy brother. Do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

21 Ketika segala perkara itu didengar raja Daud sangat marahlah ia.

But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry.

22 Dan Absalom tidak berkata-kata dengan Amnon, baik tentang yang jahat maupun tentang yang baik, tetapi Absalom membenci Amnon, sebab ia telah memperkosa Tamar, adiknya.

And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad, for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

23 Sesudah lewat dua tahun, Absalom mengadakan pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor yang dekat kota Efraim. Lalu Absalom mengundang semua anak raja.

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.

24 Kemudian Absalom menghadap raja, lalu berkata: "Hambamu ini mengadakan pengguntingan bulu domba. Kiranya raja dan pegawai-pegawainya ikut bersama-sama dengan hambamu ini."

And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant has sheep-shearers. Let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.

25 Tetapi raja berkata kepada Absalom: "Maaf, anakku, jangan kami semua pergi, supaya kami jangan menyusahkan engkau." Lalu Absalom mendesak, tetapi raja tidak mau pergi, ia hanya memberi restu kepadanya.

And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he pressed him. However he would not go, but blessed him.

26 Kemudian berkatalah Absalom: "Kalau tidak, izinkanlah kakakku Amnon pergi beserta kami." Tetapi raja menjawabnya: "Apa gunanya ia pergi bersama-sama dengan engkau?"

Then Absalom said, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?

27 Tetapi ketika Absalom mendesak, diizinkannyalah Amnon dan semua anak raja pergi beserta dia.

But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

28 Lalu Absalom memerintahkan orang-orangnya, demikian: "Perhatikan! Apabila hati Amnon menjadi gembira karena anggur, dan aku berkata kepadamu: Paranglah Amnon, maka haruslah kamu membunuh dia. Jangan takut. Bukankah aku yang memerintahkannya kepadamu? Kuatkanlah hatimu dan tunjukkanlah dirimu sebagai orang yang gagah perkasa!"

And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Notice 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.

29 Orang-orang Absalom memperlakukan Amnon seperti yang diperintahkan Absalom. Lalu bangunlah semua anak raja itu, mereka menaiki bagalnya masing-masing dan melarikan diri.

And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got up upon his mule, and fled.

30 Mereka masih di tengah jalan, ketika kabar sampai kepada Daud, demikian: "Absalom telah membunuh semua anak raja, tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang lolos."

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the news came to David, saying, Absalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

31 Lalu bangunlah raja, dikoyakkannya pakaiannya dan berbaring di lantai, dan semua pegawainya yang hadir padanya mengoyakkan pakaian mereka.

Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.

32 Maka berbicaralah Yonadab, anak Simea, kakak Daud, katanya: "Janganlah tuanku menyangka, bahwa semua orang muda anak-anak raja itu, telah dibunuh. Hanya Amnon yang mati, sebab hal itu telah terlihat pada air muka Absalom, sejak Amnon memperkosa Tamar, adiknya.

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons, for Amnon only is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

33 Jadi, janganlah tuanku raja menaruh pikiran dalam hatinya, bahwa semua anak raja itu sudah mati, sebab hanya Amnon yang mati."

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 only Amnon is dead.

34 Absalom melarikan diri. Ketika orang yang berjaga-jaga melayangkan pandangnya, maka terlihatlah olehnya sejumlah besar orang datang dari jurusan Horonaim, sepanjang sisi pegunungan.

But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him.

35 Berkatalah Yonadab kepada raja: "Lihat, anak-anak raja datang! Benar seperti kata hambamu ini."

And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons have come; as thy servant said, so it is.

36 Baru saja ia habis berkata, datanglah anak-anak raja itu. Mereka menangis dengan suara nyaring. Juga raja dan semua pegawainya menangis dengan amat keras.

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 very much.

37 Absalom telah melarikan diri dan telah pergi kepada Talmai bin Amihur, raja negeri Gesur. Dan Daud berdukacita berhari-hari lamanya karena anaknya itu.

But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

38 Absalom telah melarikan diri dan telah pergi ke Gesur; ia tinggal di sana tiga tahun lamanya.

So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

39 Lalu raja tidak lagi marah terhadap Absalom, sebab kesedihan hatinya karena kematian Amnon telah surut.

And the soul of king David longed to go forth to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
