2 Samuel 13

1 Depois disso, Absalom, filho de David, tinha uma bela irmã, cujo nome era Tamar; e Amnon, filho de David, a amava.

And it happened after this that Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name [was] Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

2 Amnon estava tão perturbado que ficou doente por causa de sua irmã Tamar, pois ela era virgem, e parecia difícil para Amnon fazer alguma coisa com ela.

And Amnon was distressed even to sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it seemed very difficult for Amnon to do anything to her.

3 Mas Amnon tinha um amigo cujo nome era Jonadab, filho de Shimeah, irmão de David; e Jonadab era um homem muito sutil.

And Amnon had a friend, and his name [was] Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and Jonadab [was] a very cunning man.

4 Ele lhe disse: “Por que, filho do rei, você está tão triste de dia para dia? Não vai me dizer?” Amnon disse-lhe: “Eu amo Tamar, a irmã de meu irmão Absalom”.

And he said to him, What ails you that you are thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? will you not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.

5 Jonadab disse-lhe: “Deite-se em sua cama e finja estar doente”. Quando seu pai vier vê-lo, diga-lhe: 'Por favor, deixe minha irmã Tamar vir e me dê pão para comer, e prepare a comida à minha vista, para que eu possa vê-la e comê-la de sua mão'”.

And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon your bed, and make yourself sick, and your father shall come in to see you; and you shall say to him, Let, I pray you, Themar my sister come, and feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may see and eat at her hands.

6 Portanto, Amnon se deita e finge estar doente. Quando o rei veio vê-lo, Amnon disse ao rei: “Por favor, deixe minha irmã Tamar vir e fazer-me um par de bolos à minha vista, para que eu possa comer da mão dela”.

So Ammon lay down, and made himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray you, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.

7 Então David mandou para casa de Tamar, dizendo: “Vá agora para a casa de seu irmão Amnon, e prepare comida para ele”.

And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to your brother's house, and dress him food.

8 Então Tamar foi para a casa de seu irmão Amnon; e ele estava deitado. Ela pegou a massa, amassou-a, fez bolos à vista dele e cozinhou os bolos.

And Themar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he [was] lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

9 Ela pegou a panela e os derramou diante dele, mas ele se recusou a comer. Amnon disse: “Que todos os homens me deixem”. Então todos os homens saíram dele.

And she took the frying pan and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.

10 Amnon disse à Tamar: “Traga a comida para a sala, para que eu possa comer de sua mão”. Tamar pegou os bolos que tinha feito e os trouxe para a sala de Amnon, seu irmão.

And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of your hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.

11 Quando ela os trouxe para perto dele para comer, ele pegou-a e lhe disse: “Venha, deite-se comigo, minha irmã”.

And she brought [them] to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

12 Ela lhe respondeu: “Não, meu irmão, não me force! Pois não se deve fazer tal coisa em Israel. Não faça esta loucura!

And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.

13 Quanto a mim, onde eu levaria minha vergonha? E quanto a você, você será como um dos tolos em Israel. Agora, portanto, por favor, falai com o rei, pois ele não me reterá de vós”.

And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray you, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from you.

14 Entretanto, ele não quis ouvir a voz dela; mas sendo mais forte do que ela, ele a forçou e se deitou com ela.

But Amnon would not listen to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.

15 Então Amnon a odiava com um ódio extremamente grande; pois o ódio com que ele a odiava era maior do que o amor com o qual ele a amava. Amnon disse-lhe: “Levanta-te, vai-te embora”.

Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and be gone.

16 Ela lhe disse: “Não é assim, porque este grande erro de me mandar embora é pior do que o outro que você me fez”! Mas ele não a escutava.

And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, [said she], than the other that you did me, to send me away: but Amnon would not listen to her voice.

17 Então ele chamou seu servo que o serviu, e disse: “Agora tire esta mulher de mim, e feche a porta depois dela”.

And he called his servant who had charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this [woman] out from me, and shut the door after her.

18 Ela tinha uma roupa de várias cores, para as filhas do rei que eram virgens vestidas com tais vestes. Então, seu servo a trouxe para fora e fechou a porta depois dela.

And she had on her a variegated robe, for so were the king's daughters that were virgins attired in their apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut the door after her.

19 Tamar colocou cinzas em sua cabeça e rasgou sua veste de várias cores que estava sobre ela; e ela colocou a mão sobre sua cabeça e seguiu seu caminho, chorando em voz alta enquanto ela ia.

And Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she tore the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.

20 Absalom, seu irmão lhe disse: “Amnon, seu irmão, esteve com você? Mas agora fique calada, minha irmã. Ele é seu irmão. Não leve isto a sério”. Assim, Tamar permaneceu desolada na casa de seu irmão Absalom.

And Abessalom her brother said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is your brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar lived as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.

21 Mas quando o rei David ouviu falar de todas essas coisas, ficou muito zangado.

And king David heard of all these things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son Amnon, because be loved him, for he was his firstborn.

22 Absalão não falou com Amnon nem bem nem mal; pois Absalão odiava Amnon, porque ele havia forçado sua irmã Tamar.

And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.

23 Após dois anos completos, Absalom teve tosquiadores de ovelhas em Baal Hazor, que fica ao lado de Efraim; e Absalom convidou todos os filhos do rei.

And it came to pass at the end of two whole years, that they were shearing [sheep] for Abessalom in Belasor near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king's sons.

24 Absalom veio até o rei e disse: “Veja agora, seu servo tem tosquiadores de ovelhas. Por favor, deixe o rei e seus servos irem com seu servo”.

And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, your servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with your servant.

25 O rei disse a Absalom: “Não, meu filho, não vamos todos, para que não sejamos pesados para você”. Ele o pressionou; mas ele não quis ir, mas o abençoou.

And the king said to Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to you. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.

26 Então Absalom disse: “Se não, por favor, deixe meu irmão Amnon ir conosco”. O rei lhe disse: “Por que ele deveria ir com você?”

And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let I pray you, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?

27 Mas Absalom o pressionou e ele deixou Amnon e todos os filhos do rei irem com ele.

And Abessalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king's sons; and Abessalom made a banquet like the banquet of the king.

28 Absalão ordenou a seus servos, dizendo: “Marquem agora, quando o coração de Amnon estiver alegre com o vinho; e quando eu lhes disser: 'Ataquem Amnon,' então o matem. Não tenha medo. Eu não lhe ordenei? Seja corajoso, e seja valente”!

And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Strike Amnon, and kill him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.

29 Os servos de Absalom fizeram a Amnon como Absalom havia ordenado. Então todos os filhos do rei se levantaram, e cada homem se levantou em sua mula e fugiu.

And the servants of Abessalom did to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.

30 Enquanto eles estavam a caminho, a notícia chegou a David, dizendo: “Absalom matou todos os filhos do rei, e não resta nenhum deles”!

And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

31 Então o rei se levantou, rasgou suas vestes e deitou-se sobre a terra; e todos os seus servos ficaram de pé com suas roupas rasgadas.

Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him tore their garments.

32 Jonadab, filho de Siméia, irmão de David, respondeu: “Não deixe meu senhor supor que mataram todos os jovens, os filhos do rei, pois só Amnon está morto; pois com a nomeação de Absalão isso foi determinado desde o dia em que ele forçou sua irmã Tamar.

And Jonadab the son of Samaa brother of David, answered and said, Let not my Lord the king say that he has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them all is dead; for he was appointed [to death] by the mouth of Abessalom from the day that he humbled his sister Themar.

33 Agora, portanto, não deixe que meu senhor, o rei, leve a coisa ao seu coração, para pensar que todos os filhos do rei estão mortos; pois só Amnon está morto”.

And now let not my lord the king take the matter to heart, saying, All the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only of them is dead.

34 Mas Absalom fugiu. O jovem que ficou com o relógio levantou os olhos e olhou, e eis que muita gente vinha pelo caminho da encosta atrás dele.

And Abessalom escaped: and the young man the watchman, lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.

35 Jonadab disse ao rei: “Eis que os filhos do rei estão chegando! É como disse seu servo”.

And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of your servant, so has it happened.

36 Assim que ele terminou de falar, eis que os filhos do rei vieram, e levantaram suas vozes e choraram. O rei também e todos os seus servos choraram amargamente.

And it came to pass when he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.

37 Mas Absalom fugiu e foi para Talmai, o filho de Ammihur, rei de Geshur. David chorava por seu filho todos os dias.

But Abessalom fled, and went to Tholmi son of Emiud the king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and king David mourned for his son continually.

38 Então Absalom fugiu e foi para Geshur, e esteve lá três anos.

So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.

39 O rei David ansiava por ir para Absalom, pois estava confortado com a morte de Amnon.

And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.
