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.

David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.

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.

He wanted [to have sex with] [EUP] his half-sister very much, with the result that he made himself sick [thinking about her all the time]. But it was not possible for Amnon to get her, because she was a virgin, [so they kept men away from 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 named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd 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.

[One day] Jonadab said to Amnon, “You are the king’s son, but every day I see that [RHQ] you seem very depressed/sad. What is your problem?” Amnon replied, “I (am in love/want to sleep) [EUP] with Tamar, my half-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 that you are sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Allow my half-sister Tamar to come and give me some food to eat. She can prepare the food while I am watching her. Then she can serve it to me herself.’”

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 pretended that he was sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “[I am sick; ] please allow my half-sister Tamar to come and make a couple scones/dumplings for me while I am watching, and then she can serve them to me.”

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.

So David sent a message to Tamar in the palace, saying “Amnon [is sick and he wants you to] go to his house and prepare some 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 Amnon’s house, where he was lying in bed. She took some dough and kneaded it, and formed it into some scones/dumplings while he was watching her. Then she baked them.

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 them out of the pan and put them [on a plate] in front of him, but he refused to eat them. Then he said to everyone else in the room, “All the rest of you, leave me now!” So all the others left his [room].

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, “Bring the food into my room and serve it to me.” So Tamar took into his room the scones/dumplings that she had made.

11 At nang ilapit niya sa kaniya upang kanin, kaniyang tinangnan siya, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Halika, sumiping ka sa akin, kapatid ko.

But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”

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 replied, “No, do not force me to do such a disgraceful thing! We never do things like that in Israel! That would be awful/terrible!

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.

As for me, if I did that, I would not be able to [RHQ] endure being disgraced by having done that. And as for you, everyone in Israel would condemn you for having done such a disgraceful deed. So I plead with you, talk to the king. I am sure that he will allow me to marry 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 listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.

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 very much. He hated her much more than he had desired her. He said to her, “Get up and get out of here!”

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.

But she said to him, “No! It would be very wrong for you to send me away. It would be worse than what you just 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.

He summoned his personal servant and said to him, “Take this woman outside, away from me, and lock the door [so that she cannot come in again]!”

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.

So the servant put her outside and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with long sleeves, which was the clothing that was usually worn by the unmarried daughters of the king at that time.

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.

But Tamar tore the long robe that she was wearing, and put ashes on her head [to show that she was very sad]. Then she put her hands on her head [to show that she was grieving], and she went away, crying.

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.

Her brother Absalom [saw her and] said to her, “Has your half-brother Amnon [DOU] forced you to have sex with him [EUP]? Please, my sister, do not tell anyone, and do not become depressed/sad.” So Tamar went to live in Absalom’s house, and she was very sad and lonely.

21 Nguni't nang mabalitaan ng haring si David ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito, siya'y totoong napoot.

When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.

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.

And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.

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.

Two years later, Absalom’s servants were shearing sheep at Baal-Hazor, which is near [a town named] Ephraim. [When they finished shearing the sheep, they celebrated], and Absalom invited all the king’s sons [to come and celebrate].

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 went to the king and said to him, “Sir, my servants have been shearing my sheep. Please come with your officials [to celebrate] with us!”

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.

But the king replied, “No, my son, it would not be good for all of us to go, because it would cause you to do a lot of work and spend a lot of money for food.” Absalom continued urging him, but the king would not go. Instead, he said that he hoped/desired that God would bless them [while they celebrated].

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, please allow my half-brother Amnon to go with us.” But the king replied, “Why [do you want] 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 continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.

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.

[So they all went. And at the celebration], Absalom commanded his servants, “Notice when Amnon has become a bit drunk from the wine. Then when I signal to you, kill him. Do not be afraid; you will be doing this [only] because I told you [RHQ] to do it. So be courageous and do it!”

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 what Absalom told them to do. [They killed Amnon]. All the rest of David’s sons [saw what happened and] fled, riding on their mules.

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.

While they were on their way home, someone [went quickly and] reported to David, “Absalom has killed all of your other sons; none of them is still alive!”

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.

The king stood up, tore his clothes [because he was extremely sad], and then he threw himself down on the ground. All the servants who were there 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 David’s brother Shimeah, said, “Your Majesty, [I am sure that] they have not killed all your sons. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead, because Absalom has determined to do this ever since the day that Amnon raped [EUP] his half-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.

So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] 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.

In the meantime, Absalom ran away. Just then, the soldier/sentry [who was standing on the city wall] saw a large crowd of people coming down the hill along the road from Horonaim. [He ran and told the king what he had seen].

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, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”

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 as soon as he said that, David’s sons came in. They all started crying, and David and all his officials also cried very much.

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.

But Absalom had fled. He went to stay with the king of [the] Geshur [region], who was Talmai the son of Ammihud. Absalom stayed there for three years. David mourned for his son Amnon for a long time,

38 Sa gayo'y tumakas si Absalom at naparoon sa Gessur, at dumoong tatlong taon.

39 At pinanabikan ng haring David na paroonan si Absalom: sapagka't siya'y naaliw na tungkol kay Amnon yamang patay na.

but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
