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.

Now after these things, it happened that Amnon, the son of David, was in love with the very beautiful sister of Absalom, the son of David, and she was called Tamar.

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.

And he pined for her exceedingly, so much so that, out of love for her, he became ill. For, since she was a virgin, it seemed a difficulty to him that he would do anything dishonest with 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.

Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent 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.”

And he said to him: “Why are you becoming so thin from day to day, O son of the king? Why won’t you tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”

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?'”

And Jonadab said to him: “Lie down upon your bed, and feign sickness. And when your father will come to visit you, say to him: ‘I ask you to let my sister Tamar come to me, so that she may give me food, and may make a small meal, so that I may 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.”

And so, Amnon lay down, and he began to act as if he were ill. And when the king had come to visit him, Amnon said to the king, “I beg you to let my sister Tamar come to me, and make in my sight two little portions of food, so that I take it 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.”

Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal 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.

And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.

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.

And taking what she had cooked, she poured it out, and she set it before him. But he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Send everyone away from me.” And when they had sent everyone away,

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 bedroom, so that I may eat from your hand.” Therefore, Tamar took the little portions of food that she had made, and she brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.

11 Nang dinala niya ang pagkain sa kanya, siya'y hinawakan niya at sinabi sa kaniya, “Halika, sumiping sa akin, aking kapatid.”

And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “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: “Do not do so, my brother! Do not force me. For no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not choose to do this senseless act.

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.”

For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to you.”

14 Pero, hindi nakinig si Amnon sa kaniya. Yamang malakas siya kaysa kay Tamar, siya'y sinunggaban niya at sumiping siya sa kaniya.

But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he 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.”

And Amnon held hatred for her with an exceedingly great hatred, so much so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Amnon said to her, “Rise up, and go away.”

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.

And she answered him, “This evil is greater, which you are now doing against me in driving me away, than what you did before.” But he was not willing to 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.”

Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind 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.

Now she was clothed with an ankle-length robe. For the virgin daughters of the king made use of this kind of garment. And so, his servant cast her out, and he closed the door behind 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.

And she sprinkled ashes upon her head, and she tore her ankle-length robe. And placing her hands upon her head, she went forth, walking and crying out.

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.

Then her brother Absalom said to her: “Has your brother Amnon lain with you? But now, sister, be quiet. For he is your brother. And you should not afflict your heart because of this matter.” And so, Tamar remained, wasting away in the house of her brother Absalom.

21 Pero nang marinig ni David ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito, labis siyang nagalit.

And when king David had heard about these things, he was deeply grieved. But he was not willing to afflict the spirit of his son Amnon. For he loved him, since he was his firstborn.

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.

Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated 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.

Then, after the time of two years, it happened that the sheep of Absalom were being shorn in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.

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.”

And he went to the king, and he said to him: “Behold, the sheep of your servant are being shorn. I ask that the king, with his servants, may come to his 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.

And the king said to Absalom: “Do not, my son, do not choose to ask that we may all come and be a burden to you.” Then, after he urged him, and he had refused to go, he 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?”

And Absalom said, “If you are not willing to come, I beg you, at least let my brother Amnon come with us.” And the king said to him, “It is not necessary that 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 so he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king. And Absalom made a feast, like the feast of a king.

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.”

Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying: “Observe when Amnon will have become drunk with wine. And when I say to you, ‘Strike and kill him!’ do not be afraid. For it is I who commands you. Be strong and valiant men.”

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.

Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon 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.”

And while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”

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.

And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near him, tore their garments.

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.

But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped 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, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ 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.

Now Absalom fled. And the young man keeping watch, lifted up his eyes and gazed out. And behold, many people were arriving along a remote road at the side of the mountain.

35 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Jehonadab sa hari, “Tingnan mo, paparating ang mga anak na lalaki ng hari. Kagaya ng sinabi ng iyong lingkod.”

And Jonadab said to the king: “Behold, the sons of the king are here. In accord with the word of your servant, so it has happened.”

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.

And when he had ceased speaking, the sons of the king also appeared. And entering, they lifted up their voice, and they wept. And the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceedingly great weeping.

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, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then 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.

Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for 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.

And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.
