2 Samuelova 13

1 A potom se dogodi: Avesalom sin Davidov imaše lijepu sestru po imenu Tamaru, i zamilova je Amnon sin Davidov.

And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.

2 I tužaše Amnon tako da se razbolje radi Tamare sestre svoje; jer bješe djevojka, te se Amnonu èinjaše teško da joj uèini što.

And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.

3 A imaše Amnon prijatelja, kojemu ime bješe Jonadav sin Same brata Davidova; i Jonadav bješe vrlo domišljat.

Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:

4 I reèe mu: što se tako sušiš, carev sine, od dana na dan? ne bi li mi kazao? A Amnon mu reèe: ljubim Tamaru sestru Avesaloma brata svojega.

And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.

5 Tada mu reèe Jonadav: lezi u postelju svoju, i uèini se bolestan; pa kad doðe otac tvoj da te vidi, ti mu reci: neka doðe Tamara sestra moja da me nahrani, i da zgotovi pred mojim oèima jelo da gledam, i iz njezine ruke da jedem.

And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.

6 I Amnon leže i uèini se bolestan; i kad doðe car da ga vidi, reèe Amnon caru: neka doðe Tamara sestra moja i zgotovi preda mnom dva jelca da jedem iz njezine ruke.

So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.

7 Tada David posla k Tamari kuæi, i poruèi joj: idi u kuæu brata svojega Amnona i zgotovi mu jelo.

Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.

8 I Tamara otide u kuæu brata svojega Amnona, i on ležaše; i uze brašna i zamijesi i zgotovi jelo pred njim i skuha.

And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.

9 Potom uze tavicu i izruèi preda nj; ali Amnon ne htje jesti, nego reèe: kažite neka izidu svi koji su kod mene. I izidoše svi.

And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,

10 Tada reèe Amnon Tamari: donesi to jelo u klijet da jedem iz tvoje ruke. I Tamara uze jelo što bješe zgotovila, i donese Amnonu bratu svojemu u klijet.

Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.

11 A kad mu pruži da jede, on je uhvati i reèe joj: hodi, lezi sa mnom, sestro moja!

And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.

12 A ona mu reèe: ne, brate, nemoj me osramotiti, jer se tako ne radi u Izrailju, ne èini toga bezumlja.

She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.

13 Kuda bih ja sa sramotom svojom? a ti bi bio kao koji od najgorih ljudi u Izrailju. Nego govori caru; on me neæe tebi odreæi.

For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.

14 Ali je on ne htje poslušati, nego savladavši je osramoti je i obleža je.

But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.

15 A poslije omrze na nju Amnon veoma, te mržnja kojom mržaše na nju bješe veæa od ljubavi kojom je prije ljubljaše. I reèe joj Amnon: ustani, odlazi.

Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.

16 A ona mu reèe: to æe biti veæe zlo od onoga koje si mi uèinio što me tjeraš. Ali je on ne htje poslušati.

She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:

17 Nego viknu momka koji ga služaše, i reèe mu: vodi ovu od mene napolje, i zakljuèaj vrata za njom.

But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.

18 A ona imaše na sebi šarenu haljinu, jer take haljine nošahu carske kæeri dok su djevojke. I sluga njegov izvede je napolje, i zakljuèa za njom vrata.

And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.

19 Tada Tamara posu se pepelom po glavi i razdrije šarenu haljinu koju imaše na sebi, i metnu ruku svoju na glavu, i otide vièuæi.

And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.

20 A brat njezin Avesalom reèe joj: da nije Amnon brat tvoj bio s tobom? ali, sestro moja, æuti, brat ti je, ne misli o tom. I tako osta Tamara osamljena u kuæi brata svojega Avesaloma.

And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.

21 I car David èuvši sve ovo razgnjevi se vrlo.

And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.

22 Avesalom pak ne govoraše s Amnonom ni ružno ni lijepo; jer Avesalom mržaše na Amnona što mu osramoti sestru Tamaru.

But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.

23 A poslije dvije godine kad se strizijahu ovce Avesalomove u Val-Asoru, koji je kod Jefrema, on pozva sve sinove careve.

And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:

24 I doðe Avesalom k caru i reèe mu: evo, sad se strigu ovce sluzi tvojemu; neka poðe car i sluge njegove sa slugom svojim.

And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.

25 Ali car reèe Avesalomu: nemoj, sine, nemoj da idemo svi, da ti ne budemo na tegotu. I premda navaljivaše, opet ne htje iæi, nego ga blagoslovi.

And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.

26 A Avesalom reèe: kad ti neæeš, a ono neka ide s nama Amnon brat moj. A car mu reèe: što da ide s tobom?

And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.

27 Ali navali Avesalom na nj, te pusti s njim Amnona i sve sinove carske.

But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.

28 Tada Avesalom zapovjedi momcima svojim govoreæi: pazite, kad se srce Amnonu razveseli od vina, i ja vam reèem: ubijte Amnona; tada ga ubijte; ne bojte se, jer vam ja zapovijedam, budite slobodni i hrabri.

And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.

29 I uèiniše s Amnonom sluge Avesalomove kako im zapovjedi Avesalom. Tada ustaše svi sinovi carevi i pojahaše svak svoju mazgu i pobjegoše.

And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.

30 A dokle još bijahu na putu, doðe glas Davidu da je Avesalom pobio sve sinove careve, da nije ostao od njih nijedan.

And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.

31 Tada ustavši car razdrije haljine svoje, i leže na zemlju, i sve sluge njegove koje stajahu oko njega razdriješe haljine svoje.

Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.

32 A Jonadav sin Same brata Davidova progovori i reèe: neka ne govori gospodar moj da su pobili svu djecu, careve sinove; poginuo je samo Amnon, jer Avesalom bješe tako naumio od onoga dana kad Amnon osramoti Tamaru sestru njegovu.

But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.

33 Neka dakle car gospodar moj ne misli o tom u srcu svojem govoreæi: svi sinovi carevi pogiboše; jer je samo Amnon poginuo.

Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.

34 A Avesalom pobježe. A momak na straži podiže oèi svoje i ugleda, a to mnogi narod ide k njemu pokraj gore.

But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.

35 I Jonadav reèe caru: evo idu sinovi carevi; kao što je kazao sluga tvoj, tako je bilo.

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

36 I kad izreèe, a to sinovi carevi doðoše, i podigavši glas svoj plakaše; a i car i sve sluge njegove plakaše vrlo.

And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.

37 Avesalom pak pobježe i otide k Talmaju sinu Amijudovu caru Gesurskom. A David plakaše za sinom svojim svaki dan.

But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.

38 A kad Avesalom uteèe i doðe u Gesur, osta ondje tri godine.

And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.

39 Potom zaželje car David otiæi k Avesalomu, jer se utješi za Amnonom što pogibe.

And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
