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 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 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 to him, Why are you, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? will you not tell me? And Amnon said to 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 to him, Lay you down on your bed, and make yourself sick: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, I pray you, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat 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 made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said to 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 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 your brother Amnon’s house, and dress him meat.

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 laid down. And she took flour, 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 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 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 to Tamar, Bring the meat 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 A kad mu pruži da jede, on je uhvati i reèe joj: hodi, lezi sa mnom, sestro moja!

And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to 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, No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing should to be done in Israel: do not you 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.

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 to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.

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

However, he would not listen to her voice: but, being stronger than she, 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 exceedingly; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to 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 to him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that you did to me. But he would not listen to 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 to 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.

And she had a garment of divers colors on her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins appareled. Then 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 divers colors that was on her, and laid her hand on 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, 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 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 to his brother 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 Baalhazor, 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, your servant has sheep shearers; let the king, I beseech you, and his servants go with your 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, No, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable to you. And he pressed him: however, 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 you, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?

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

But Absalom pressed him, that 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.

Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark you now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to 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 to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got him up on 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 tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has 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 tare 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 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 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 by the way of the hill side behind him.

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 come: as your 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 longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
