2 Samuel 13

1 E aconteceu depois d'isto que, tendo Absalão, filho de David, uma irmã formosa, cujo nome era Tamar, Amnon, filho de David, amou-a.

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 E angustiou-se Amnon, até adoecer, por Tamar, sua irmã, porque era virgem: e parecia aos olhos de Amnon difficultoso fazer-lhe coisa alguma.

And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her.

3 Tinha porém Amnon um amigo, cujo nome era Jonadab, filho de Simea, irmão de David: e era Jonadab homem mui sagaz.

But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.

4 O qual lhe disse: Porque tu de manhã em manhã tanto emmagreces, sendo filho do rei? não m'o farás saber a mim? Então lhe disse Amnon: Amo a Tamar, irmã de Absalão, meu irmão,

And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.

5 E Jonadab lhe disse: Deita-te na tua cama, e finge-te doente; e, quando teu pae te vier visitar, dize-lhe: Peço-te que minha irmã Tamar venha, e me dê de comer pão, e apreste a comida diante dos meus olhos, para que eu a veja e coma da sua mão

And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

6 Deitou-se pois Amnon, e fingiu-se doente; e, vindo o rei visital-o, disse Amnon ao rei: Peço-te que minha irmã Tamar venha, e apreste dois bolos diante dos meus olhos, que eu coma de sua mão.

So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.

7 Mandou então David a casa, a Tamar, dizendo: Vae a casa de Amnon, teu irmão, e faze-lhe alguma comida.

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat.

8 E foi Tamar a casa de Amnon, seu irmão (elle porém estava deitado), e tomou massa, e a amassou, e fez bolos diante dos seus olhos, e cozeu os bolos.

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.

9 E tomou a sertã, e os tirou diante d'elle; porém elle recusou comer. E disse Amnon: Fazei retirar a todos da minha presença. E todos se retiraram d'elle.

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

10 Então disse Amnon a Tamar: Traze a comida á camara, e comerei da tua mão. E tomou Tamar os bolos que fizera, e os trouxe a Amnon, seu irmão, á camara.

And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

11 E chegando-lh'os, para que comesse, pegou d'ella, e disse-lhe: Vem, deita-te comigo, irmã minha.

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

12 Porém ella lhe disse: Não, irmão meu, não me forces, porque não se faz assim em Israel; não faças tal loucura.

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

13 Porque, aonde iria eu com a minha vergonha? E tu serias como um dos loucos d'Israel. Agora, pois, peço-te que falles ao rei, porque não me negará a ti

And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

14 Porém elle não quiz dar ouvidos á sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ella, a forçou, e se deitou com ella.

Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

15 Depois Amnon a aborreceu com grandissimo aborrecimento, porque maior era o aborrecimento com que a aborrecia do que o amor com que a amara, E disse-lhe Amnon: Levanta-te, e vae-te.

Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

16 Então ella lhe disse: Não ha razão de me despedires assim; maior seria este mal do que o outro que já me tens feito. Porém não lhe quiz dar ouvidos.

And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.

17 E chamou a seu moço que o servia, e disse: Deita a esta fóra, e fecha a porta após ella.

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

18 E trazia ella uma roupa de muitas côres (porque assim se vestiam as filhas virgens dos reis, com capas), e seu creado a deitou fóra, e fechou a porta após ella.

And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

19 Então Tamar tomou cinza sobre a sua cabeça, e a roupa de muitas côres que trazia rasgou: e poz as mãos sobre a cabeça, e foi-se andando e clamando.

And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.

20 E Absalão, seu irmão, lhe disse: Esteve Amnon, teu irmão, comtigo? Ora pois, irmã minha, cala-te; é teu irmão. Não se angustie o teu coração por isto. Assim ficou Tamar, e esteve solitaria em casa d'Absalão seu irmão

And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.

21 E, ouvindo o rei David todas estas coisas, muito se accendeu em ira.

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

22 Porém Absalão não fallou com Amnon, nem mal nem bem; porque Absalão aborrecia a Amnon, por ter forçado a Tamar sua irmã

And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

23 E aconteceu que, passados dois annos inteiros, Absalão tinha tosquiadores em Bal-hasor, que está junto a Ephraim: e convidou Absalão a todos os filhos do rei.

And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.

24 E veiu Absalão ao rei, e disse: Eis que teu servo tem tosquiadores: peço que o rei e os seus servos venham com o teu servo.

And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.

25 O rei porém disse a Absalão: Não, filho meu, não vamos todos juntos, para não te sermos pezados. E instou com elle; porém elle não quiz ir, mas o abençoou.

And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.

26 Então disse Absalão: Quando não, deixa ir comnosco Amnon, meu irmão. Porém o rei lhe disse: Para que iria comtigo?

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

27 E, instando Absalão com elle, deixou ir com elle a Amnon, e a todos os filhos do rei.

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

28 E Absalão deu ordem aos seus moços, dizendo: Tomae sentido; quando o coração d'Amnon estiver alegre do vinho, e eu vos disser: Feri a Amnon, então o matareis; não temaes; porque porventura não sou eu quem vol-o ordenei? Esforçae-vos, e sede valentes.

Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

29 E os moços d'Absalão fizeram a Amnon como Absalão lh'o havia ordenado. Então todos os filhos do rei se levantaram, e montaram cada um no seu mulo, e fugiram.

And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.

30 E aconteceu que, estando elles ainda no caminho, veiu a nova a David, dizendo-se: Absalão feriu a todos os filhos do rei, e nenhum d'elles ficou.

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

31 Então o rei se levantou, e rasgou os seus vestidos, e se lançou por terra: da mesma maneira todos os seus servos estavam com vestidos rotos.

Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

32 Mas Jonadab, filho de Simea, irmão de David, respondeu, e disse: Não diga o meu senhor que mataram a todos os mancebos filhos do rei, porque só morreu Amnon: porque assim o tinha resolvido fazer Absalão, desde o dia em que forçou a Tamar sua irmã

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

33 Não se lhe metta pois agora no coração do rei meu senhor tal coisa, dizendo: Morreram todos os filhos do rei: porque só morreu Amnon.

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 Amnon only is dead.

34 E Absalão fugiu: e o mancebo que estava de guarda, levantou os seus olhos, e olhou; e eis que muito povo vinha pelo caminho por detraz d'elle, pela banda do monte.

But Absalom fled. And the young man that 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 Então disse Jonadab ao rei: Eis aqui veem os filhos do rei: conforme á palavra de teu servo, assim succedeu.

And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.

36 E aconteceu que, como acabou de fallar, os filhos do rei vieram, e levantaram a sua voz, e choraram: e tambem o rei e todos os seus servos choraram com mui grande choro.

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 sore.

37 Assim Absalão fugiu, e se foi a Talmai, filho d'Ammihur, rei de Gesur. E David trouxe dó por seu filho todos aquelles dias.

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

38 Assim Absalão fugiu, e foi para Gesur: esteve ali tres annos.

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

39 Então tinha o rei David saudades de Absalão: porque já se tinha consolado ácerca de Amnon, que era morto.

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