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 Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.

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 he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.

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

Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise 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 dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.

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 upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at 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 made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at 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 Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.

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.

And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.

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 taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,

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.

Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.

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

And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: 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.

She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not 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."

For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.

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

But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered 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 an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee 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.

She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And 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."

But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut 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 was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut 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 she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.

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: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.

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

And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.

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.

But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.

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 years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near 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 he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his 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: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he 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?"

And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.

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

But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.

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 had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.

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 them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man 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 while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath 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 rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.

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.

But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.

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 this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only 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 away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.

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 are 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 when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they 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 Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. 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.

And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.

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

And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
