< 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.
David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.
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.
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 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 named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd 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,
[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 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
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 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 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 Mandou então David a casa, a Tamar, dizendo: Vae a casa de Amnon, teu irmão, e faze-lhe alguma comida.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 E chegando-lh'os, para que comesse, pegou d'ella, e disse-lhe: Vem, deita-te comigo, irmã minha.
But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”
12 Porém ella lhe disse: Não, irmão meu, não me forces, porque não se faz assim em Israel; não faças tal loucura.
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 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
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 Porém elle não quiz dar ouvidos á sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ella, a forçou, e se deitou com ella.
But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.
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 very much. He hated her much more than he had desired her. He said to her, “Get up and get out of here!”
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.
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 E chamou a seu moço que o servia, e disse: Deita a esta fóra, e fecha a porta após ella.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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
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 E, ouvindo o rei David todas estas coisas, muito se accendeu em ira.
When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.
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 hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Então disse Absalão: Quando não, deixa ir comnosco Amnon, meu irmão. Porém o rei lhe disse: Para que iria comtigo?
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 E, instando Absalão com elle, deixou ir com elle a Amnon, e a todos os filhos do rei.
But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.
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.
[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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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
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 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.
So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon 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.
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 Então disse Jonadab ao rei: Eis aqui veem os filhos do rei: conforme á palavra de teu servo, assim succedeu.
Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”
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 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 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 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 Assim Absalão fugiu, e foi para Gesur: esteve ali tres annos.
39 Então tinha o rei David saudades de Absalão: porque já se tinha consolado ácerca de Amnon, que era morto.
but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
