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 Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

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 Amnon was so distressed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do any thing unto her.

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

But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle 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 unto him: 'Why, O son of the king, art thou thus becoming leaner from day to day? wilt thou not tell me?' And Amnon said unto him: 'I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.'

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 unto him: 'Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick; and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him: Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and 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 feigned himself sick; and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king: 'Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, 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 Tamar, saying: 'Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.'

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

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

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 she took the 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 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.

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

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

And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her: '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.

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 wanton deed.

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.

And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the base men in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.'

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

Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced 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 exceeding great hatred; for 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 A ona mu reèe: to æe biti veæe zlo od onoga koje si mi uèinio što me tjeraš. Ali je on ne htje poslušati.

And she said unto him: 'Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is worse than the other that thou didst unto me.' But he would not hearken unto her.

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

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 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.

Now she had a garment of many colours upon her; for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. — And his servant brought her out, and bolted 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 Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of many colours that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.

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

21 I car David èuvši sve ovo razgnjevi se vrlo.

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

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

And Absalom spoke unto Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

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 full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside 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 Absalom came to the king, and said: 'Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy 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, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome unto thee.' And he pressed him; howbeit he would not go, but 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?

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

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

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

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the tidings 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 arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

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.

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said: 'Let not my lord suppose that they have killed 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 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 the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead; 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. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people in a roundabout way by the hill-side.

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

And Jonadab said unto 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 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 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 Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

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

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

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

And the soul of king David failed with longing for Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
