2 Књига Самуилова 13

1 А потом се догоди: Авесалом син Давидов имаше лепу сестру по имену Тамару, и замилова је Амнон, син Давидов.

And it came to pass after this, that Abshalom the son of David had a handsome sister, whose name was Thamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

2 И тужаше Амнон тако да се разболе ради Тамаре сестре своје; јер беше девојка, те се Амнону чињаше тешко да јој учини шта.

And Amnon worried himself so that he fell sick on account of Thamar his sister; for she was a virgin; and it was impossible in the eyes of Amnon to do her the least [harm].

3 А имаше Амнон пријатеља, коме име беше Јонадав син Саме брата Давидовог; и Јонадав беше врло домишљат.

But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Yonadab, the son of Shim'ah, David's brother; and Yonadab was a very sensible man.

4 И рече му: Што се тако сушиш, царев сине, од дана на дан? Не би ли ми казао? А Амнон му рече: Љубим Тамару сестру Авесалома брата свог.

And he said to him, Why art thou so wasted, O prince, morning after morning? Wilt thou not tell me? Then said Amnon to him, Thamar the sister of Abshalom my brother do I love.

5 Тада му рече Јонадав: Лези у постељу своју, и учини се болестан; па кад дође отац твој да те види, ти му реци: Нека дође Тамара сестра моја да ме нахрани, и да зготови пред мојим очима јело да гледам, и из њене руке да једем.

And Yonadab said to him, Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick; and when thy father cometh to see thee, thou must say unto him, Let, I pray thee, Thamar my sister come, and give me some food, and prepare the refreshment before my eyes, in order that I may see it, and eat it out of her hand.

6 И Амнон леже и учини се болестан; и кад дође цар да га види, рече Амнон цару: Нека дође Тамара сестра моја и зготови преда мном два јелца да једем из њене руке.

So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray thee, Thamar my sister come, and mix up before my eyes a couple of cakes, that I may enjoy them out of her hand.

7 Тада Давид посла к Тамари кући, и поручи јој: Иди у кућу брата свог Амнона и зготови му јело.

Then did David send home to Thamar, saying, Do go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and prepare for him the refreshment.

8 И Тамара отиде у кућу брата свог Амнона, и он лежаше; и узе брашна и замеси и зготови јело пред њим и скува.

So Thamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, and he was lying down; and she took the dough and kneaded, and mixed it up before his eyes, and baked the cakes;

9 Потом узе тавицу и изручи преда њ; али Амнон не хте јести, него рече: Кажите нека изиђу сви који су код мене. И изиђоше сви.

And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat; and Amnon said, Cause every man to go out from me; and they went out, every man, from him.

10 Тада рече Амнон Тамари: Донеси то јело у клет да једем из твоје руке. И Тамара узе јело што беше зготовила, и донесе Амнону брату свом у клет.

And Amnon said to Thamar, Bring the refreshment into the chamber, that I may enjoy it out of thy hand. So Thamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them unto Amnon her brother into the chamber.

11 А кад му пружи да једе, он је ухвати и рече јој: Ходи, лези са мном, сестро моја!

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 А она му рече: Не, брате, немој ме осрамотити, јер се тако не ради у Израиљу, не чини то безумље.

But she said to him, No, my brother, do not violate me; for such a deed ought not to be done in Israel; do not this scandalous act!

13 Куда бих ја са срамотом својом? А ти би био као који од најгорих људи у Израиљу. Него говори цару; он ме неће теби одрећи.

And I, whither should I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wouldst be like one of the worthless in Israel; but now, O speak, I pray thee, unto the king, for he will not withhold me from thee.

14 Али је он не хте послушати, него савладавши је осрамоти је и облежа је.

Nevertheless, he would not hearken unto her voice; but he overpowered her, and violated her, and lay with her.

15 А после омрзе на њу Амнон веома, те мржња којом мржаше на њу беше већа од љубави којом је пре љубљаше. И рече јој Амнон: Устани, одлази.

Then did Amnon hate her with a very great hatred; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her; and Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

16 А она му рече: То ће бити веће зло од оног које си ми учинио што ме тераш. Али је он не хте послушати.

And she said unto him, [Do] not add this yet greater wrong than the other which thou hast done with me, to send me [now] away! But he would not listen to her;

17 Него викну момка који га служаше, и рече му: Води ову од мене напоље, и закључај врата за њом.

And he called his young man, his servant, and said, Do send this woman away from me, into the street, and lock the door behind her.

18 А она имаше на себи шарену хаљину, јер такве хаљине ношаху царске кћери док су девојке. И слуга његов изведе је напоље, и закључа за њом врата.

And she had on a garment of divers colors; for thus were usually appareled the king's daughters when virgins, in robes; and his servant brought her out into the street, and locked the door behind her.

19 Тада Тамара посу се пепелом по глави и раздре шарену хаљину коју имаше на себи, и метну руку своју на главу, и отиде вичући.

And Thamar put ashes on her head, and the garment of divers colors which was on her she rent: and she placed her hand on her head, and went away and cried as she went along.

20 А брат њен Авесалом, рече јој: Да није Амнон брат твој био с тобом? Али, сестро моја, ћути, брат ти је, не мисли о том. И тако оста Тамара осамљена у кући брата свог Авесалома.

Then said to her Abshalom her brother, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now, my sister, keep silence, he is thy brother, take this thing not to thy heart. So Thamar remained, and was secluded in the house of Abshalom her brother.

21 И цар Давид чувши све ово разгневи се врло.

And when king David heard all these things, it displeased him greatly.

22 Авесалом пак не говораше с Амноном ни ружно ни лепо; јер Авесалом мржаше на Амнона што му осрамоти сестру Тамару.

And Abshalom spoke not with Amnon either bad or good; for Abshalom hated Amnon, because he had violated Thamar his sister.

23 А после две године кад се стрижаху овце Авесаломове у Вал-Асору, који је код Јефрема, он позва све синове цареве.

And it came to pass after two full years, that Abshalom had sheep-shearers at Ba'al-chazor, which is near Ephraim; and Abshalom invited all the king's sons.

24 И дође Авесалом к цару и рече му: Ево, сад се стрижу овце слузи твом; нека пође цар и слуге његове са слугом својим.

And Abshalom 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 Али цар рече Авесалому: Немој, сине, немој да идемо сви, да ти не будемо на теготу. И премда наваљиваше, опет не хте ићи, него га благослови.

And the king said to Abshalom, No, my son, do not let us all go now, that we may not be a burden upon thee. And he urged him much, but he would not go, and he blessed him.

26 А Авесалом рече: Кад ти нећеш, а оно нека иде с нама Амнон брат мој. А цар му рече: Што да иде с тобом?

And Abshalom said, If not, let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?

27 Али навали Авесалом на њ, те пусти с њим Амнона и све синове царске.

But Abshalom urged him greatly, and he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king.

28 Тада Авесалом заповеди момцима својим говорећи: Пазите, кад се срце Амнону развесели од вина, и ја вам кажем: Убијте Амнона; тада га убијте; не бојте се, јер вам ја заповедам, будите слободни и храбри.

Now Abshalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye, I pray you, when Annon's heart is merry with wine, and I say unto you, Smite Amnon: then kill him, fear not; behold, it is I who command it you; be firm and show yourselves men of valor.

29 И учинише с Амноном слуге Авесаломове како им заповеди Авесалом. Тада усташе сви синови цареви и појахаше свак своју мазгу и побегоше.

And the servants of Abshalom did unto Amnon as Abshalom had commanded. Then arose all the king's sons, and they rode off, every man on his mule, and fled.

30 А докле још беху на путу, дође глас Давиду да је Авесалом побио све синове цареве, да није остао од њих ни један.

And it happened, while they were on the way, that the report came to David, saying, Abshalom hath smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

31 Тада уставши цар раздре хаљине своје, и леже на земљу, и све слуге његове које стајаху око њега раздреше хаљине своје.

Then arose the king and rent his garments, and laid himself on the earth: and all his servants were standing by with their garments rent.

32 А Јонадав син Саме брата Давидовог проговори и рече: Нека не говори господар мој да су побили сву децу, цареве синове; погинуо је само Амнон, јер Авесалом беше тако наумио од оног дана кад Амнон осрамоти Тамару сестру његову.

But Yonadab the son of Shim'ah, David's brother, commenced and said, Let not my Lord suppose that they have slain all the young men, the king's sons; since Amnon alone is dead; for by the command of Abshalom was this ordained from the day that he violated Thamar his sister.

33 Нека дакле цар господар мој не мисли о том у срцу свом говорећи: Сви синови цареви погибоше; јер је само Амнон погинуо.

And now let not my Lord the king take the thing to his heart, thinking, that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon alone is dead.

34 А Авесалом побеже. А момак на стражи подиже очи своје и угледа, а то многи народ иде к њему покрај горе.

And Abshalom flew away. And the young man that was watching lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, many people were coming by the way behind him, by the side of the mount.

35 И Јонадав рече цару: Ево иду синови цареви; као што је казао слуга твој, тако је било.

And Yonadab said to the king, The king's sons are come: according to the word of thy servant, so hath it come to pass.

36 И кад изрече, а то синови цареви дођоше, и подигавши глас свој плакаше; а и цар и све слуге његове плакаше врло.

And it happened, as he had just finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and they lifted up their voice and wept; and also the king and all his servants wept very much.

37 Авесалом пак побеже и отиде к Талмају сину Амијудовом цару гесурском. А Давид плакаше за сином својим сваки дан.

But Abshalom had fled; and he went to Talmai, the son of 'Ammihud, the king of Geshur: and [David] mourned for his son all the time.

38 А кад Авесалом утече и дође у Гесур, оста онде три године.

So did Abshalom fly, and go to Geshur, and he remained there three years.

39 Потом зажеле цар Давид отићи к Авесалому, јер се утеши за Амноном што погибе.

And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth unto Abshalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, that he was dead.
