사무엘하 13

1 그 후에 이일이 있으니라 다윗의 아들 압살롬에게 아름다운 누이가 있으니 이름은 다말이라 다윗의 아들 암논이 저를 연애하나

David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.

2 저는 처녀이므로 어찌할 수 없는 줄을 알고 암논이 그 누이 다말을 인하여 심화로 병이 되니라

He wanted [to have sex with] [EUP] his half-sister very much, with the result that he made himself sick [thinking about her all the time]. But it was not possible for Amnon to get her, because she was a virgin, [so they kept men away from her].

3 암논에게 요나답이라 하는 친구가 있으니 저는 다윗의 형 시므아의 아들이요 심히 간교한자라

But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.

4 저가 암논에게 이르되 `왕자여 어찌하여 나날이 이렇게 파리하여 가느뇨 내게 고하지 아니하겠느뇨?' 암논이 말하되 `내가 아우 압살롬의 누이 다말을 연애함이니라'

[One day] Jonadab said to Amnon, “You are the king’s son, but every day I see that [RHQ] you seem very depressed/sad. What is your problem?” Amnon replied, “I (am in love/want to sleep) [EUP] with Tamar, my half-brother Absalom’s sister.”

5 요나답이 저에게 이르되 `침상에 누워 병든 체하다가 네 부친이 너를 보러 오거든 너는 말하기를 청컨대 내 누이 다말로 와서 내게 식물을 먹이되 나 보는데서 식물을 차려 그 손으로 먹여 주게 하옵소서 하라'

Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend that you are sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Allow my half-sister Tamar to come and give me some food to eat. She can prepare the food while I am watching her. Then she can serve it to me herself.’”

6 암논이 곧 누워 병든 체하다가 왕이 와서 저를 볼 때에 왕께 고하되 `청컨대 내 누이 다말로 와서 내가 보는데서 과자 두어개를 만들어 그 손으로 내게 먹여 주게 하옵소서'

So Amnon lay down, and pretended that he was sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “[I am sick; ] please allow my half-sister Tamar to come and make a couple scones/dumplings for me while I am watching, and then she can serve them to me.”

7 다윗이 사람을 그 집으로 보내어 다말에게 이르되 `네 오라비 암논의 집으로 가서 저를 위하여 음식을 차리라' 한지라

So David sent a message to Tamar in the palace, saying “Amnon [is sick and he wants you to] go to his house and prepare some food for him.”

8 다말이 그 오라비 암논의 집에 이르매 암논이 누었더라 다말이 밀가루를 가지고 반죽하여 그 보는 데서 과자를 만들고 그 과자를 굽고

So Tamar went to Amnon’s house, where he was lying in bed. She took some dough and kneaded it, and formed it into some scones/dumplings while he was watching her. Then she baked them.

9 그 남비를 가져다가 그 앞에 쏟아 놓아도 암논이 먹기를 싫어하고 가로되 `모든 사람을 나가게 하라' 하니 다 저를 떠나 나가니라

She took them out of the pan and put them [on a plate] in front of him, but he refused to eat them. Then he said to everyone else in the room, “All the rest of you, leave me now!” So all the others left his [room].

10 암논이 다말에게 이르되 `식물을 가지고 침실로 들어오라 내가 네 손에서 먹으리라' 다말이 자기의 만든 과자를 가지고 침실에 들어가 그 오라비 암논에게 이르러

Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room and serve it to me.” So Tamar took into his room the scones/dumplings that she had made.

11 저에게 먹이려고 가까이 가지고 갈 때에 암논이 그를 붙잡고 이르되 `누이야 와서 나와 동침하자'

But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”

12 저가 대답하되 `아니라 내 오라비여 나를 욕되게 말라 이런 일은 이스라엘에서 마땅히 행치 못할 것이니 이 괴악한 일을 행치 말라

She replied, “No, do not force me to do such a disgraceful thing! We never do things like that in Israel! That would be awful/terrible!

13 내가 이 수치를 무릅쓰고 어디로 가겠느냐? 너도 이스라엘에서 괴악한 자 중 하나가 되리라 청컨대 왕께 말하라 저가 나를 네게 주기를 거절치 아니하시리라' 하되

As for me, if I did that, I would not be able to [RHQ] endure being disgraced by having done that. And as for you, everyone in Israel would condemn you for having done such a disgraceful deed. So I plead with you, talk to the king. I am sure that he will allow me to marry you.”

14 암논이 그 말을 듣지 아니하고 다말보다 힘이 세므로 억지로 동침하니라

But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.

15 그리하고 암논이 저를 심히 미워하니 이제 미워하는 미움이 이왕 연애하던 연애보다 더한지라 곧 저에게 이르되 `일어나 가라'

Then Amnon hated her very much. He hated her much more than he had desired her. He said to her, “Get up and get out of here!”

16 다말이 가로되 `가치 아니하다 나를 쫓아 보내는 이 큰 악은 아까 내게 행한 그 악보다 더하다' 하되 암논이 듣지 아니하고

But she said to him, “No! It would be very wrong for you to send me away. It would be worse than what you just did to me!” But he would not listen to her.

17 그 부리는 종을 불러 이르되 `이 계집을 내어보내고 곧 문빗장을 지르라` 하니

He summoned his personal servant and said to him, “Take this woman outside, away from me, and lock the door [so that she cannot come in again]!”

18 암논의 하인이 저를 끌어내고 곧 문빗장을 지르니라 다말이 채색옷을 입었으니 출가하지 아니한 공주는 이런 옷으로 단장하는 법이라

So the servant put her outside and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with long sleeves, which was the clothing that was usually worn by the unmarried daughters of the king at that time.

19 다말이 재를 그 머리에 무릅쓰고 그 채색옷을 찢고 손을 머리 위에 얹고 크게 울며 가니라

But Tamar tore the long robe that she was wearing, and put ashes on her head [to show that she was very sad]. Then she put her hands on her head [to show that she was grieving], and she went away, crying.

20 그 오라비 압살롬이 저에게 이르되 `네 오라비 암논이 너와 함께 있었느냐? 그러나 저는 네 오라비니 누이야 시방은 잠잠히 있고 이것으로 인하여 근심하지 말라' 이에 다말이 그 오라비 압살롬의 집에 있어 처량하게 지내니라

Her brother Absalom [saw her and] said to her, “Has your half-brother Amnon [DOU] forced you to have sex with him [EUP]? Please, my sister, do not tell anyone, and do not become depressed/sad.” So Tamar went to live in Absalom’s house, and she was very sad and lonely.

21 다윗 왕이 이 모든 일을 듣고 심히 노하니라

When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.

22 압살롬이 그 누이 다말을 암논이 욕되게 하였으므로 저를 미워하여 시비간에 말하지 아니하니라

And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.

23 이 주년 후에 에브라임 곁 바알하솔에서 압살롬의 양털을 깎는 일이 있으매 압살롬이 왕의 모든 아들을 청하고

Two years later, Absalom’s servants were shearing sheep at Baal-Hazor, which is near [a town named] Ephraim. [When they finished shearing the sheep, they celebrated], and Absalom invited all the king’s sons [to come and celebrate].

24 왕께 나아와 말하되 `이제 종에게 양털 깎는 일이 있사오니 청컨대 왕은 신복들을 데리시고 이 종과 함께 가사이다'

Absalom went to the king and said to him, “Sir, my servants have been shearing my sheep. Please come with your officials [to celebrate] with us!”

25 왕이 압살롬에게 이르되 `아니라 내 아들아 우리가 다 갈 것이 없다 네게 누를 끼칠까 하노라' 압살롬이 간청하되 저가 가지 아니하고 위하여 복을 비는지라

But the king replied, “No, my son, it would not be good for all of us to go, because it would cause you to do a lot of work and spend a lot of money for food.” Absalom continued urging him, but the king would not go. Instead, he said that he hoped/desired that God would bless them [while they celebrated].

26 압살롬이 가로되 `그렇게 아니하시려거든 청컨대 내 형 암논으로 우리와 함께 가게 하옵소서' 왕이 저에게 이르되 `그가 너와 함께 갈 것이 무엇이냐?' 하되

Then Absalom said, “If you will not go, please allow my half-brother Amnon to go with us.” But the king replied, “Why [do you want] him to go with you?”

27 압살롬이 간청하매 왕이 암논과 왕의 모든 아들을 저와 함께 보내니라

But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.

28 압살롬이 이미 그 사환들에게 분부하여 이르기를 `너희는 암논의 마음이 술로 즐거워할 때를 자세히 보다가 내가 너희에게 암논을 치라 하거든 저를 죽이라 두려워 말라 내가 너희에게 명한 것이 아니냐? 너희는 담대히 용맹을 내라' 한지라

[So they all went. And at the celebration], Absalom commanded his servants, “Notice when Amnon has become a bit drunk from the wine. Then when I signal to you, kill him. Do not be afraid; you will be doing this [only] because I told you [RHQ] to do it. So be courageous and do it!”

29 압살롬의 사환들이 그 분부대로 암논에게 행하매 왕의 모든 아들이 일어나 각기 노새를 타고 도망하니라

So Absalom’s servants did what Absalom told them to do. [They killed Amnon]. All the rest of David’s sons [saw what happened and] fled, riding on their mules.

30 저희가 길에 있을 때에 압살롬이 왕의 모든 아들을 죽이고 하나도 남기지 아니하였다는 소문이 다윗에게 이르매

While they were on their way home, someone [went quickly and] reported to David, “Absalom has killed all of your other sons; none of them is still alive!”

31 왕이 곧 일어나서 그 옷을 찢고 땅에 엎드러지고 그 신복들도 다 옷을 찢고 모셔 선지라

The king stood up, tore his clothes [because he was extremely sad], and then he threw himself down on the ground. All the servants who were there also tore their clothes.

32 다윗의 형 시므아의 아들 요나답이 고하여 가로되 `내 주여 소년 왕자들이 다 죽임을 당한 줄로 생각지 마옵소서 오직 암논만 죽었으리이다 저가 압살롬의 누이 다말을 욕되게 한 날부터 압살롬이 결심한 것이니이다

But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “Your Majesty, [I am sure that] they have not killed all your sons. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead, because Absalom has determined to do this ever since the day that Amnon raped [EUP] his half-sister Tamar.

33 그러하온즉 내 주 왕이여! 왕자들이 다 죽은줄로 생각하여 괘념(掛念)하지 마옵소서 암논만 죽었으리이다'

So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”

34 이에 압살롬은 도망하니라 파수하는 소년이 눈을 들어 보니 뒷산 언덕길로 여러 사람이 오더라

In the meantime, Absalom ran away. Just then, the soldier/sentry [who was standing on the city wall] saw a large crowd of people coming down the hill along the road from Horonaim. [He ran and told the king what he had seen].

35 요나답이 왕께 고하되 `왕자들이 오나이다 종의 말한대로 되었나이다'

Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”

36 말을 마치자 왕자들이 이르러 대성통곡하니 왕과 그 모든 신복도 심히 통곡하니라

And as soon as he said that, David’s sons came in. They all started crying, and David and all his officials also cried very much.

37 압살롬은 도망하여 그술 왕 암미훌의 아들 달매에게로 갔고 다윗은 날마다 그 아들을 인하여 슬퍼하니라

But Absalom had fled. He went to stay with the king of [the] Geshur [region], who was Talmai the son of Ammihud. Absalom stayed there for three years. David mourned for his son Amnon for a long time,

38 압살롬이 도망하여 그술로 가서 거한지 삼년이라

39 다윗 왕의 마음이 압살롬에게 향하여 간절하니 암논은 이미 죽었으므로 왕이 위로를 받았음이더라

but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
