< 2 Samuel 13 >
1 At nangyari, pagkatapos nito, na si Absalom na anak ni David ay mayroong isang kapatid na babae na maganda, na ang pangala'y Thamar; at sininta siya ni Amnon na anak ni David.
Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.
2 At si Amnon ay totoong nagdamdam, na anopa't siya'y nagkasakit dahil sa kaniyang kapatid na kay Thamar; sapagka't siya'y dalaga; at inaakala ni Amnon na mahirap gawan siya ng anomang bagay.
And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
3 Nguni't si Amnon ay may isang kaibigan na ang pangala'y Jonadab, na anak ni Simea na kapatid ni David: at si Jonadab ay isang lalaking totoong magdaraya.
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.
4 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Bakit, Oh anak ng hari, sa araw araw ay nangangayayat kang ganyan? hindi mo ba sasaysayin sa akin? At sinabi ni Amnon sa kaniya, Aking sinisinta si Thamar na kapatid ng aking kapatid na si Absalom.
And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
5 At sinabi ni Jonadab sa kaniya, Mahiga ka sa iyong higaan, at magsakitsakitan ka: at pagka ang iyong ama ay naparoon upang tingnan ka, sabihin mo sa kaniya, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na bayaang ang aking kapatid na si Thamar ay pumarito, at bigyan ako ng tinapay na makakain, at maghanda ng pagkain sa aking paningin upang aking makita, at kanin sa kaniyang kamay.
Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her hand.
6 Sa gayo'y nahiga si Amnon at nagsakitsakitan: at nang pumaroon ang hari upang tingnan siya, sinabi ni Amnon sa hari, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na bayaang pumarito ang aking kapatid na si Thamar, at igawa ako ng dalawang tinapay na maliit sa aking paningin upang aking makain sa kaniyang kamay.
So Amnon went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food from her hand.
7 Nang magkagayo'y nagsugo si David sa bahay kay Thamar, na sinasabi, Pumaroon ka ngayon sa bahay ng iyong kapatid na si Amnon, at ipaghanda mo siya ng pagkain.
Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.
8 Sa gayo'y naparoon si Thamar sa bahay ng kaniyang kapatid na si Amnon; at siya'y nakahiga. At siya'y kumuha ng isang masa, at minasa, at ginawang mga binilong tinapay sa kaniyang paningin, at niluto na mga munting tinapay.
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was in bed. And she took paste and made cakes before his eyes, cooking them over the fire.
9 At kinuha niya ang kawali, at mga ibinuhos sa harap niya; nguni't kaniyang tinanggihang kanin. At sinabi ni Amnon: Palabasin ang lahat na tao sa harap ko. At silang lahat ay lumabas, bawa't isa mula sa harap niya.
And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.
10 At sinabi ni Amnon kay Thamar: Dalhin mo rito sa silid ang pagkain, upang aking makain sa iyong kamay. At kinuha ni Thamar ang mga munting tinapay na kaniyang ginawa, at mga dinala sa silid kay Amnon na kaniyang kapatid.
Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.
11 At nang ilapit niya sa kaniya upang kanin, kaniyang tinangnan siya, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Halika, sumiping ka sa akin, kapatid ko.
And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.
12 At sumagot siya sa kaniya, Huwag kapatid ko, huwag mo akong dahasin; sapagka't hindi marapat gawin sa Israel ang ganyang bagay: huwag kang gumawa ng ganitong kaululan.
And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.
13 At ako, saan ko dadalhin ang aking hiya? at tungkol sa iyo, ikaw ay magiging gaya ng isa sa mga mangmang sa Israel. Ngayon nga, isinasamo ko sa iyo, magsalita ka sa hari, sapagka't hindi ipagkakait ako sa iyo.
What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep me from you.
14 Gayon ma'y hindi niya dininig ang kaniyang tinig: kundi palibhasa't siya'y malakas kay sa kaniya, dinahas niya siya, at sumiping sa kaniya.
But he would not give attention to what she said: but being stronger than she, he took her by force, and had connection with her.
15 Nang magkagayo'y kinapootan siya ni Amnon na may mahigpit na poot; sapagka't ang kapootan na kaniyang ikinapoot sa kaniya ay malaki kay sa pagsinta na kaniyang isininta sa kaniya. At sinabi ni Amnon sa kaniya, Bumangon ka, ikaw ay yumaon.
Then Amnon was full of hate for her, hating her with a hate greater than his earlier love for her. And he said to her, Get up and be gone.
16 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Huwag ganyan, sapagka't itong malaking kasamaan sa pagpapalabas mo sa akin ay higit kay sa iba na iyong ginawa sa akin. Nguni't ayaw niyang dinggin siya.
And she said to him, Not so, my brother, for this great wrong in sending me away is worse than what you did to me before. But he gave no attention to her.
17 Nang magkagayo'y tinawag niya ang kaniyang alipin na nagaalaga sa kaniya, at sinabi, Ilabas mo ang babaing ito sa harap ko, at itrangka mo ang pintuan pagkalabas niya.
Then he gave a cry to the servant who was waiting on him and said, Put this woman out, and let the door be locked after her.
18 At siya'y may suot na sarisaring kulay: sapagka't ang mga gayong kasuutan ang isinusuot ng mga anak na dalaga ng hari. Nang magkagayo'y inilabas siya ng kaniyang alipin at tinarangkahan ang pintuan pagkalabas niya.
Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking the door after her.
19 At binuhusan ni Thamar ng mga abo ang kaniyang ulo, at hinapak ang kaniyang suot na sarisaring kulay na nakasuot sa kaniya; at kaniyang ipinatong ang kaniyang kamay sa kaniyang ulo, at ipinagpatuloy ang kaniyang lakad, na umiiyak ng malakas habang siya'y yumayaon.
And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly.
20 At sinabi ni Absalom na kaniyang kapatid sa kaniya, Napasa iyo ba si Amnon na iyong kapatid? nguni't ngayo'y tumahimik ka, kapatid ko: siya'y iyong kapatid; huwag mong isapuso ang bagay na ito. Sa gayo'y si Thamar ay nagpighati sa bahay ng kaniyang kapatid na si Absalom.
And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother's house.
21 Nguni't nang mabalitaan ng haring si David ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito, siya'y totoong napoot.
But when King David had news of all these things he was very angry; but he did not make trouble for Amnon his son, for he was dear to David, being his oldest son.
22 At hindi nagsalita si Absalom kay Amnon kahit mabuti o masama man; sapagka't pinagtaniman ni Absalom si Amnon dahil sa kaniyang dinahas ang kaniyang kapatid na si Thamar.
But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.
23 At nangyari, pagkatapos ng dalawang buong taon, na nagpagupit ng mga tupa si Absalom sa Baal-hasor na nasa siping ng Ephraim: at inanyayahan ni Absalom ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari.
Now after two full years, Absalom had men cutting the wool of his sheep in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim: and he sent for all the king's sons to come to his feast.
24 At naparoon si Absalom sa hari, at sinabi niya, Narito ngayon, ang iyong lingkod ay nagpapagupit ng mga tupa; isinasamo ko sa iyo na ang hari at ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay magsiyaong kasama ng iyong lingkod.
And Absalom came to the king and said, See now, your servant is cutting the wool of his sheep; will the king and his servants be pleased to come?
25 At sinabi ng hari kay Absalom, Huwag anak ko, huwag tayong magsiyaong lahat, baka maging mabigat na pasan sa iyo. At pinilit niya siya: gayon ma'y hindi siya yumaon, kundi binasbasan siya.
And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, or the number will be over-great for you. And he made his request again, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.
26 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Absalom, Kung hindi isinasamo ko sa iyo, pasamahin mo sa amin ang aking kapatid na si Amnon. At sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Bakit siya sasama sa iyo?
Then Absalom said, If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to go with you?
27 Nguni't pinilit siya ni Absalom, na anopa't kaniyang pinasama sa kaniya si Amnon at ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari.
But Absalom went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.
28 At iniutos ni Absalom sa kaniyang mga lingkod na sinasabi, Tandaan ninyo ngayon, pagka ang puso ni Amnon ay sumaya dahil sa alak; at pagka ang aking sinabi sa inyo, Saktan ninyo si Amnon, patayin nga ninyo siya: huwag kayong mangatakot: hindi ba ako ang nagutos sa inyo? kayo nga'y magpakalakas, at magpakatapang.
Now Absalom had given orders to his servants, saying, Now take note when Amnon's heart is glad with wine; and when I say to you, Make an attack on Amnon, then put him to death without fear: have I not given you orders? be strong and without fear.
29 At ginawa ng mga lingkod ni Absalom kay Amnon kung ano ang iniutos ni Absalom. Nang magkagayo'y nagsitindig ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari, at sumakay bawa't lalake sa kaniyang mula, at tumakas.
So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as Absalom had given them orders. Then all the king's sons got up, and every man got on his beast and went in flight.
30 At nangyari, samantalang sila'y nasa daan, na ang balita ay dumating kay David, na sinasabi, Pinatay ni Absalom ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari, at walang nalabi isa man sa kanila.
Now while they were on their way, news was given to David that Absalom had put to death all the sons of the king and that not one of them was still living.
31 Nang magkagayo'y bumangon ang hari at hinapak ang kaniyang mga suot, at humiga sa lupa; at lahat niyang mga lingkod ay nakatayo sa palibot na hapak ang kanilang mga suot.
Then the king got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.
32 At si Jonadab na anak ni Simea na kapatid ni David, ay sumagot at nagsabi, Huwag akalain ng aking panginoon na kanilang pinatay ang lahat ng mga binatang anak ng hari, sapagka't si Amnon lamang ang patay: sapagka't sa pasiya ni Absalom ay pinasiyahan ito mula sa araw na kaniyang dahasin ang kaniyang kapatid na si Thamar.
And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, Let not my lord have the idea that all the sons of the king have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead: this has been purposed by Absalom from the day when he took his sister Tamar by force.
33 Ngayon nga'y huwag isapuso ng aking panginoon na hari ang bagay, na akalain ang lahat ng mga anak ng hari ay patay: sapagka't si Amnon lamang ang patay.
So now, let not my lord the king take this thing to heart, with the idea that all the king's sons are dead: for only Amnon is dead.
34 Nguni't si Absalom ay tumakas. At ang bataan na nagbabantay ay tumanaw ng kaniyang mga mata, at tumingin, at, narito, dumarating ay maraming tao sa daan na mula sa burol, sa likuran niya.
But Absalom went in flight. And the young man who kept the watch, lifting up his eyes, saw that a great band of people was coming down the slope by the way of the Horons; and the watchman came and gave word to the king, saying, I saw men coming down by the way of the Horons, from the hillside.
35 At sinabi ni Jonadab sa hari, Narito, ang mga anak ng hari ay nagsisidating: kung ano ang sinabi ng inyong lingkod, ay nagkagayon.
And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.
36 At nangyari pagkatapos niyang makapagsalita, na, narito, ang mga anak ng hari ay nagsidating, at inilakas ang kanilang tinig at nagsiiyak: at ang hari naman at ang lahat niyang mga lingkod ay nagsiiyak na mainam.
And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.
37 Nguni't tumakas si Absalom at naparoon kay Talmai na anak ni Amiud na hari sa Gessur. At tinangisan ni David ang kaniyang anak araw araw.
So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.
38 Sa gayo'y tumakas si Absalom at naparoon sa Gessur, at dumoong tatlong taon.
And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.
39 At pinanabikan ng haring David na paroonan si Absalom: sapagka't siya'y naaliw na tungkol kay Amnon yamang patay na.
And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.
