2 Samuel 13
1 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.
大卫的儿子押沙龙有一个美貌的妹子，名叫她玛。大卫的儿子暗嫩爱她。
2 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.
暗嫩为他妹子她玛忧急成病。她玛还是处女，暗嫩以为难向她行事。
3 But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.
暗嫩有一个朋友，名叫约拿达，是大卫长兄示米亚的儿子。这约拿达为人极其狡猾；
4 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.
他问暗嫩说：“王的儿子啊，为何一天比一天瘦弱呢？请你告诉我。”暗嫩回答说：“我爱我兄弟押沙龙的妹子她玛。”
5 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.
约拿达说：“你不如躺在床上装病；你父亲来看你，就对他说：‘求父叫我妹子她玛来，在我眼前预备食物，递给我吃，使我看见，好从她手里接过来吃。’”
6 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.
于是暗嫩躺卧装病。王来看他，他对王说：“求父叫我妹子她玛来，在我眼前为我做两个饼，我好从她手里接过来吃。”
7 Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.
大卫就打发人到宫里，对她玛说：“你往你哥哥暗嫩的屋里去，为他预备食物。”
8 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.
她玛就到她哥哥暗嫩的屋里；暗嫩正躺卧。她玛抟面，在他眼前做饼，且烤熟了，
9 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.
在他面前将饼从锅里倒出来，他却不肯吃，便说：“众人离开我出去吧！”众人就都离开他，出去了。
10 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.
暗嫩对她玛说：“你把食物拿进卧房，我好从你手里接过来吃。”她玛就把所做的饼拿进卧房，到她哥哥暗嫩那里，
11 And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.
拿着饼上前给他吃，他便拉住她玛，说：“我妹妹，你来与我同寝。”
12 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.
她玛说：“我哥哥，不要玷辱我。以色列人中不当这样行，你不要做这丑事；
13 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.
你玷辱了我，我何以掩盖我的羞耻呢？你在以色列中也成了愚妄人。你可以求王，他必不禁止我归你。”
14 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.
但暗嫩不肯听她的话，因比她力大，就玷辱她，与她同寝。
15 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.
随后，暗嫩极其恨她，那恨她的心比先前爱她的心更甚，对她说：“你起来，去吧！”
16 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.
她玛说：“不要这样！你赶出我去的这罪比你才行的更重！”但暗嫩不肯听她的话，
17 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.
就叫伺候自己的仆人来，说：“将这个女子赶出去！她一出去，你就关门，上闩。”
18 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.
那时她玛穿着彩衣，因为没有出嫁的公主都是这样穿。暗嫩的仆人就把她赶出去，关门上闩。
19 And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly.
她玛把灰尘撒在头上，撕裂所穿的彩衣，以手抱头，一面行走，一面哭喊。
20 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.
她胞兄押沙龙问她说：“莫非你哥哥暗嫩与你亲近了吗？我妹妹，暂且不要作声，他是你的哥哥，不要将这事放在心上。”她玛就孤孤单单地住在她胞兄押沙龙家里。
21 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.
大卫王听见这事，就甚发怒。
22 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.
押沙龙并不和他哥哥暗嫩说好说歹；因为暗嫩玷辱他妹妹她玛，所以押沙龙恨恶他。
23 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.
过了二年，在靠近以法莲的巴力·夏琐有人为押沙龙剪羊毛；押沙龙请王的众子与他同去。
24 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?
押沙龙来见王，说：“现在有人为仆人剪羊毛，请王和王的臣仆与仆人同去。”
25 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.
王对押沙龙说：“我儿，我们不必都去，恐怕使你耗费太多。”押沙龙再三请王，王仍是不肯去，只为他祝福。
26 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?
押沙龙说：“王若不去，求王许我哥哥暗嫩同去。”王说：“何必要他去呢？”
27 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.
押沙龙再三求王，王就许暗嫩和王的众子与他同去。
28 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.
押沙龙吩咐仆人说：“你们注意，看暗嫩饮酒畅快的时候，我对你们说杀暗嫩，你们便杀他，不要惧怕。这不是我吩咐你们的吗？你们只管壮胆奋勇！”
29 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.
押沙龙的仆人就照押沙龙所吩咐的，向暗嫩行了。王的众子都起来，各人骑上骡子，逃跑了。
30 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.
他们还在路上，有风声传到大卫那里，说：“押沙龙将王的众子都杀了，没有留下一个。”
31 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.
王就起来，撕裂衣服，躺在地上。王的臣仆也都撕裂衣服，站在旁边。
32 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.
大卫的长兄，示米亚的儿子约拿达说：“我主，不要以为王的众子—少年人都杀了，只有暗嫩一个人死了。自从暗嫩玷辱押沙龙妹子她玛的那日，押沙龙就定意杀暗嫩了。
33 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.
现在，我主我王，不要把这事放在心上，以为王的众子都死了，只有暗嫩一个人死了。”
34 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.
押沙龙逃跑了。 守望的少年人举目观看，见有许多人从山坡的路上来。
35 And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.
约拿达对王说：“看哪，王的众子都来了，果然与你仆人所说的相合。”
36 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.
话才说完，王的众子都到了，放声大哭；王和臣仆也都哭得甚恸。
37 So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.
押沙龙逃到基述王亚米忽的儿子达买那里去了。大卫天天为他儿子悲哀。
38 And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.
押沙龙逃到基述，在那里住了三年。
39 And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.
暗嫩死了以后，大卫王得了安慰，心里切切想念押沙龙。
