< 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.
It happened after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved 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.
Amnon was so troubled that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and 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. Now Jonadab was a very crafty 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.
He said to him, "Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won't you tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love 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.
Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat 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 lay down and faked being sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat 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 home to Tamar, saying, "Go now to your brother Amnon and prepare food 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 lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes while he watched, and baked the cakes.
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.
She took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. Amnon said, "Have all men leave me." Every man went out from him.
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.
Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand." Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
11 At nang ilapit niya sa kaniya upang kanin, kaniyang tinangnan siya, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Halika, sumiping ka sa akin, kapatid ko.
When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, "Come, lie with me, 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.
She answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me. For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not do this folly.
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.
I, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold 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.
However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she was, he overpowered her and raped 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 hated her with intense hatred, 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, "Get up, go away."
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 Tamar said to him, "Don't, my brother, for this latter evil in sending me away is greater than the former thing that you did to me." But he would not listen 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 called the young man who served him, and said, "Send this one away from me, and bolt the door 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 was wearing an ornamented robe, for this was what the king's virgin daughters used to wear. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted 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 took ashes and put them on her head, and tore the long robe she was wearing. And she put her hand on her head and went away, crying aloud as she went.
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 Amnon your brother been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this too seriously." So Tamar, devastated, lived in her brother Absalom'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 heard of all these things, he was very angry. But he did not inflict pain on the spirit of his son Amnon, because he loved him, for he was his firstborn.
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.
Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had violated his sister Tamar.
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.
It happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
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.
Absalom came to the king, and said, "See now, your servant has sheepshearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant."
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.
The king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." But he pleaded with him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
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 not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." The king said to him, "Why should he 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 pleaded with him, and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom prepared a feast like a king's feast.
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.
And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, "Watch Amnon until he is in a good mood from the wine, and when I tell you, 'Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and brave."
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 the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons got up, and each mounted his mule and fled.
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.
And it happened, while they were on the way, that the news came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left."
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 and tore his clothes and lay down on the ground. And all the servants who were standing around him also tore their clothes.
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.
But Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, "My lord the king must not think that they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For this has been Absalom's plan since the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
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.
Now therefore do not let 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 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 fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and he saw many men coming on the road behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent. And the watchman came and told the king, and said, "I have seen many men coming from the Horonan road by the side of the mountain."
35 At sinabi ni Jonadab sa hari, Narito, ang mga anak ng hari ay nagsisidating: kung ano ang sinabi ng inyong lingkod, ay nagkagayon.
Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming. It is as your servant said."
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.
It happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that look, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept 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.
And David mourned for his son every day.
38 Sa gayo'y tumakas si Absalom at naparoon sa Gessur, at dumoong tatlong taon.
And Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and was there three years.
39 At pinanabikan ng haring David na paroonan si Absalom: sapagka't siya'y naaliw na tungkol kay Amnon yamang patay na.
And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled about the death of Amnon.
