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, Absolom, son of David, having a beautiful sister, whose name, was Tamar, Amnon 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 it so troubled Amnon, that he made himself ill on account of Tamar his sister, for, a virgin, was she, and it was monstrous in Amnon’s own eyes, to do, anything, 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, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, —and, Jonadab, was a very cunning 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.

So he said to him, —Why art thou looking so wretched—a king’s son too—morning by morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, With Tamar, my brother Absolom’s sister, am I in love.

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: Take to thy bed, and feign thyself ill, —and, when thy father cometh in to see thee, then shalt thou say unto him—I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, that she may give me food, and let her prepare, before mine eyes, some delicacy, to the end that I may see [it made], and so eat 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 took to his bed, and feigned himself ill, —and, when the king came in to see him, Amnon said unto the king—I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make ready before mine eyes a couple of cakes, 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.

So David sent unto Tamar, in the house—saying, —Come, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and prepare him enticing 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.

And Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, he having taken to his bed, —and took dough and kneaded it, and folded it before his eyes, and baked 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.

Then took she the pan and put them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said—Have forth every one from me. And they went out every one 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.

Then said Amnon unto Tamar—Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat out of thine own hand. So Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them in to Amnon her brother, 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 brought them unto 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.

But she said to him—Nay! my brother, do not force me, for it should not be done so in Israel, —do not commit this vileness.

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 could I take my reproach? Thou, too, wouldest be as one of the vile fellows, in Israel. Now, therefore, speak, I pray thee, unto the king, for he would not withhold me from thee.

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

But he would not hearken unto her voice, —and, 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 did Amnon hate her with a very great hatred, for, greater, was the hatred wherewith he hated her, than the love wherewith he had loved her, —so Amnon said to her—Rise—begone!

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.

But she said to him—No occasion for this greater wrong, after what thou hast done with me, to put me away! Nevertheless 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.

but called his young man who waited on him, and said—I pray you, put forth this woman from me, outside, —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 upon her a long tunic, for, so, used king’s daughters to apparel themselves, when they were virgins, in robes. And his attendant took her forth, outside, 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 upon her head, and, the long tunic that was upon her, she rent, —and put her hand upon her head, and went her way, crying out 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 Absolom her brother said unto her—Hath, Amnon thy brother, been with thee? Now, therefore, my sister, hold thy peace—thy brother, he is, do not lay to thy heart, this thing. But Tamar remained, and was desolate in the house of Absolom her brother.

21 I car David èuvši sve ovo razgnjevi se vrlo.

And, King David, heard all these things, —and it angered him greatly.

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

And Absolom spake not with Amnon, either bad or good, —though Absolom hated Amnon, because he had forced Tamar his sister.

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 of days, that Absolom had, sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephron, —and Absolom 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.

Absolom came also unto the king, and said, See, I pray thee, thy servant hath, sheepshearers, —I pray thee, let the king 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 unto Absolom—Nay! my son, do not, I pray thee, let us all go, lest we be burdensome upon thee. And, though he urged him, 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 Absolom, If not, then, I pray thee, let Amnon my brother go with us. And the king said unto him, Wherefore should he go with thee?

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

And Absolom urged him, —so 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 Absolom had commanded his young men, saying—Mark, I pray you, when the heart of Amnon is merry with wine, and I say unto you—Smite ye Amnon, then shall ye put him to death, do not fear, —have not, I myself, commanded you? Be bold, and show yourselves to be sons of valour.

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

So Absolom’s young men did to Amnon as Absolom had commanded. Then arose all the king’s sons, and rode away—each man 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 yet on the road, that, the report, reached David, saying, —Absolom hath smitten all the king’s sons, and there is not left of them, one.

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

And the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the ground, —and all his servants who stood by 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.

Then responded Jonadab son of Shimeah David’s brother, and said—Let not my lord say that they have put, all the young men—the king’s sons, to death; for, Amnon alone, is dead; for, by the bidding of Absolom, was it appointed, from the day that he forced Tamar his sister.

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 lay to his heart such a thing—to say, All the king’s sons, are dead, —but, Amnon alone, is dead.

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

Now Absolom had fled. And the young man that was watching lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! much people, coming on the road behind him, on the mountain-side.

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

So Jonadab said unto the king, Lo! the king’s sons, are come, —according to the word of thy servant, so hath it come to pass.

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

And so it was, as he made an end of speaking, that lo! the king’s sons, came, and lifted up their voice and wept, —the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceeding great weeping.

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

But, Absolom, had fled, and had taken his journey unto Talmai son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David the king mourned for his son continually,

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

But, Absolom, had fled, and had taken his journey to Geshur, —and it came to pass that he was there three years.

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

And the spirit of the king pined to go forth unto Absolom, —for he had consoled himself over Amnon, in that he was dead.
