< 2 Samuel 13 >
1 Nangyari na pagkatapos nito labis na naakit si Amnon anak na lalaki ni David, kay Tamar na kaniyang kapatid na babae sa ama na kapatid na babaeng buo ni Absalom, isa pa sa mga anak na lalaki ni David.
After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 Bigong-bigo si Amnon na nagkasakit siya dahil sa kaniyang kapatid na babae sa ama na si Tamar. Isa siyang birhen at tila malayong makagawa ng anumang bagay si Amnon sa kaniya.
Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
3 Pero may kaibigan si Amnon na ang pangalan ay si Jonadab anak na lalaki ni Simea, kapatid na lalaki ni David. Isang tusong lalaki si Jonadab.
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
4 Sinabi ni Jonadab kay Amnon, “Bakit, nalulumbay ka bawat umaga, anak ng hari? Hindi mo ba sasabihin sa akin?” Kaya sumagot si Amnon sa kaniya, “Umiibig ako kay Tamar, kapatid na babae ng aking kapatid na si Absalom.”
He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Will not you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jonadab sa kaniya, “Humiga ka sa iyong higaan at magkunwaring may sakit. Kapag dumating ang iyong ama para makita ka, hingin sa kanya, 'Pakiusap, maaari mo bang papuntahin ang aking kapatid na babaeng si Tamar para bigyan ako ng isang bagay na makakain at lutuin ito sa aking harapan, para maaari ko itong makita at kainin mula sa kaniyang kamay?'”
Jonadab said to him, “Lay 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 prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’”
6 Kaya humiga si Amnon at nagkunwaring may sakit. Nang dumating ang hari para makita siya, sinabi ni Amnon sa hari, “Pakiusap, papuntahin mo ang aking kapatid na babaeng si Tamar para maghanda ng pagkain sa aking harapan para sa aking sakit upang makakain ako mula 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 Pagkatapos nagpadala ng salita si David kay Tamar sa kaniyang palasyo na nagsasabing, “Pumunta ka ngayon sa bahay ng iyong kapatid na lalaking si Amnon at maghanda ng pagkain para sa kaniya.”
Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
8 Kaya pumunta si Tamar sa bahay ng kaniyang kapatid na lalaking si Amnon kung saan siya nakahiga. Kumuha siya ng masa at minasa ito at hinulmang tinapay sa kaniyang paningin at pagkatapos hinurno niya ito.
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
9 Kinuha niya ang kawali at ibinigay ang tinapay sa kaniya, pero tumanggi siyang kumain. Pagkatapos sinabi ni Amnon sa ibang nandoon, “Palabasin ang lahat, palayo sa akin.” Kaya umalis ang lahat mula sa kaniya.
She took the pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out from him.
10 Kaya sinabi ni Amnon kay Tamar, “Dalhin ang pagkain sa loob ng aking silid para makakain ako mula sa iyong kamay.” Kaya kinuha ni Tamar ang tinapay na kaniyang ginawa at dinala ito sa loob ng silid ni 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 Nang dinala niya ang pagkain sa kanya, siya'y hinawakan niya at sinabi sa kaniya, “Halika, sumiping sa akin, aking kapatid.”
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 Sumagot siya sa kaniya, “Hindi, aking kapatid, huwag mo akong pilitin, dahil walang dapat mangyaring gantong bagay sa Israel. Huwag mong gawin itong nakapanlulumong bagay!
She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Do not you do this folly!
13 Saan ako maaaring pumunta para makatakas sa kahihiyang idudulot nito sa aking buhay? At tatatakan ka ng gawaing ito bilang isang hangal na walang kahihiyan sa buong Israel. Pakiusap, hinihiling kong kausapin mo ang hari. Papayagan ka niyang pakasalan ako.”
As for me, 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 Pero, hindi nakinig si Amnon sa kaniya. Yamang malakas siya kaysa kay Tamar, siya'y sinunggaban niya at sumiping siya sa kaniya.
However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
15 Pagkatapos kinapootan ni Amnon si Tamar ng matinding pagkapoot. Siya'y kinapootan niya ng higit pa kaysa kaniyang paghahangad sa kaniya. Sinabi ni Amnon sa kaniya, “Bumangon ka at umalis.”
Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”
16 Pero sumagot siya sa kaniya. “Hindi! Dahil ang malaking kasamaang ito na pagpapaalis mo sa akin ay mas masama pa sa kung ano ang ginawa mo sa akin!” Pero hindi nakinig si Amnon sa kaniya.
She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
17 Sa halip, tinawag niya ang kaniyang pansariling lingkod at sinabi, “Dalhin mo ang babaeng ito palayo sa akin at ikandado ang pintuan pagkaalis niya.”
Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”
18 Pagkatapos dinala siya palabas ng kaniyang lingkod at kinandado ang pintuan pagkalabas niya. Suot-suot ni Tamar ang isang ginayakang balabal dahil sa ganoong paraan nagbibihis ang mga anak na babae ng hari na siyang mga birhen.
She had a garment of various colors on her, for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her.
19 Naglagay si Tamar ng mga abo sa kaniyang ulo at pinunit ang kaniyang balabal. Nilagay niya ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kaniyang ulo at lumakad papalayo, umiiyak ng malakas habang umaalis.
Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
20 Sinabi sa kaniya ng kapatid niyang si Absalom, “Kinasama mo ba si Amnon ang iyong kapatid? Pero ngayon manatiling tahimik, aking kapatid. Siya ay iyong kapatid. Huwag isapuso ang bagay na ito.” Kaya mag-isang nanatili si Tamar sa bahay ni Absalom na kaniyang kapatid.
Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 Pero nang marinig ni David ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito, labis siyang nagalit.
But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
22 Walang anumang sinabi si Absalom kay Amnon, dahil kinapootan siya ni Absalom dahil sa kaniyang ginawa at kung papaano niya pinahiya ang kaniyang kapatid na babaeng si Tamar.
Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23 Nangyari pagkatapos ng dalawang buong taon si Absalom ay nagtrabaho bilang manggugupit ng tupa sa Baal Hazor na malapit sa Efraim at inanyayahan ni Absalom ang lahat ng mga anak na lalaki ng hari para bumisita roon.
After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
24 Pumunta si Absalom sa hari at sinabi, “Tingnan mo ngayon, may mga manggugupit ng tupa ang iyong lingkod. Pakiusap, nawa'y ang hari at kaniyang mga lingkod ay sumama sa akin, iyong lingkod.”
Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”
25 Sumagot ang hari kay Absalom. “Hindi, aking anak, kaming lahat ay hindi dapat pumunta dahil magiging pabigat kami sa iyo.” Pinilit ni Absalom ang hari, pero ayaw niyang pumunta, gayun pa man pinagpala niya si Absalom.
The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
26 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Absalom, “Kung hindi, pakiusap hayaang sumama sa amin ang aking kapatid na si Amnon.” Kaya sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, “Bakit dapat sumama si Amnon 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 Pinilit ni Absalom si David, kaya hinayaan niyang sumama sa kaniya si Amnon at ang lahat ng anak na lalaki ng hari.
But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
28 Inutusan ni Absalom ang kaniyang mga lingkod na nagsasabing, “Makinig nang mabuti. Kapag nagsimula ng malasing si Amnon sa alak at kapag sinabi ko sa inyo na, 'Salakayin si Amnon,' patayin siya. Huwag matakot. Hindi ba't inutusan ko kayo? Maging magiting at matapang.”
Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have not I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
29 Kaya ginawa ng mga lingkod ni Absalom kay Amnon ang iniutos niya sa kanila. Pagkatapos tumayo ang lahat ng anak na lalaki ng hari at sumakay ang bawat lalaki sa kaniyang mola at tumakas.
The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up on his mule and fled.
30 Kaya nangyari na, habang nasa daan sila, nakarating na kay David ang balita na nagsasabing, “Pinatay ni Absalom ang lahat ng anak na lalaki ng hari at walang ni isang natira sa kanila.”
While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!”
31 Pagkatapos tumayo ang hari at pinunit ang kaniyang mga damit at humiga sa sahig; nakiisa ang lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod na pinunit ang kanilang mga damit.
Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 Sumagot at sinabi ni Jehonadab anak na lalaki ni Simea, kapatid na lalaki ni David, “Huwag hayaan maniwala ang aking amo na pinatay nila ang lahat ng binatang anak ng hari, dahil si Amnon lamang ang namatay. Binalak ito ni Absalom mula sa araw na nilapastangan ni Amnon ang kaniyang kapatid na babaeng si Tamar.
Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Do not let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
33 Kaya huwag hayaan ang aking panginoon na hari na isapuso ang balitang ito, na maniniwalang namatay ang lahat ng anak na lalaki ng hari, dahil si Amnon lamang ang namatay.”
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 only Amnon is dead.”
34 Tumakas si Absalom. Itinaas ng isang lingkod na nagbabantay ang kaniyang mga mata at nakita ang maraming taong paparating sa daan sa burol sa kanluran niya.
But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
35 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jehonadab sa hari, “Tingnan mo, paparating ang mga anak na lalaki ng hari. Kagaya ng sinabi ng iyong lingkod.”
Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
36 Kaya nangyari na pagkatapos na pagkatapos niyang magsalita dumating ang mga anak na lalaki ng hari at tumaas ang kanilang mga boses at umiyak. At ang hari at lahat ng kaniyang mga lingkod ay lubhang umiyak.
As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
37 Pero tumakas si Absalom at pumunta kay Talmai anak na lalaki ni Amihud, ang hari ng Gesur. Nagluksa si David para sa kaniyang anak na lalaki bawat araw.
But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38 Kaya tumakas si Absalom at pumunta sa Gesur, kung saan siya nanatili sa loob ng tatlong taon.
So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 Nananabik si Haring David na lumabas para makita si Absalom, dahil naglubag na ang kalooban niya tungkol kay Amnon at sa kaniyang pagkamatay.
King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
