2 Samuel 13

1 E aconteceu depois disto 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 dificultoso 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 anything 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 subtle man.

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

And he said unto him, Why are you, being the king's son, lean from day to day? will you 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 pai 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 you down on your bed, and make yourself sick: and when your father comes to see you, say unto him, I pray you, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food 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 visita-lo, 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 you, 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: vai a casa de Amnon, teu irmão, e faze-lhe alguma comida.

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.

8 E foi Tamar a casa de Amnon, seu irmão (ele 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 dele; porém ele recusou comer. E disse Amnon: Fazei retirar a todos da minha presença. E todos se retiraram dele.

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 à câmara, e comerei da tua mão. E tomou Tamar os bolos que fizera, e os trouxe a Amnon, seu irmão, à câmara.

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

11 E chegando-lhos, para que comesse, pegou dela, 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 ela 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 you this folly.

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

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

14 Porém ele não quis dar ouvidos à sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ela, a forçou, e se deitou com ela.

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

15 Depois Amnon a aborreceu com grandíssimo 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 vai-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 ela lhe disse: Não há razão de me despedires assim; maior seria este mal do que o outro que já me tens feito. Porém não lhe quis dar ouvidos.

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

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

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 ela uma roupa de muitas cores (porque assim se vestiam as filhas virgens dos reis, com capas), e seu criado a deitou fora, e fechou a porta após ela.

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 cores que trazia rasgou: e pôs 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, contigo? Ora pois, irmã minha, cala-te; é teu irmão. Não se angustie o teu coração por isto. Assim ficou Tamar, e esteve solitária em casa de Absalão seu irmão

And Absalom her brother said unto her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? but hold now your peace, my sister: he is your 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 acendeu em ira.

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

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

And Absalom spoke 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 anos 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 Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

24 E veio 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, your servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I plead to you, and his servants go with your servant.

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

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

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

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

27 E, instando Absalão com ele, deixou ir com ele 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: tomai sentido; quando o coração de Amnon estiver alegre do vinho, e eu vos disser: Feri a Amnon, então o matareis; não temais; porque porventura não sou eu quem vo-lo ordenei? esforçai-vos, e sede valentes.

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

29 E os moços de Absalão fizeram a Amnon como Absalão lho 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 got him up upon his mule, and fled.

30 E aconteceu que, estando eles ainda no caminho, veio a nova a David, dizendo-se: Absalão feriu a todos os filhos do rei, e nenhum deles ficou.

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has 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 has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

33 Não se lhe meta 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 dele, 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 à palavra de teu servo, assim sucedeu.

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

36 E aconteceu que, como acabou de falar, os filhos do rei vieram, e levantaram a sua voz, e choraram: e também 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 de Ammihur, rei de Gesur. E David trouxe dó por seu filho todos aqueles 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 três anos.

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 acerca 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.
