< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.
А потом се догоди: Авесалом син Давидов имаше лепу сестру по имену Тамару, и замилова је Амнон, син Давидов.
2 And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.
И тужаше Амнон тако да се разболе ради Тамаре сестре своје; јер беше девојка, те се Амнону чињаше тешко да јој учини шта.
3 Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:
А имаше Амнон пријатеља, коме име беше Јонадав син Саме брата Давидовог; и Јонадав беше врло домишљат.
4 And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.
И рече му: Што се тако сушиш, царев сине, од дана на дан? Не би ли ми казао? А Амнон му рече: Љубим Тамару сестру Авесалома брата свог.
5 And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.
Тада му рече Јонадав: Лези у постељу своју, и учини се болестан; па кад дође отац твој да те види, ти му реци: Нека дође Тамара сестра моја да ме нахрани, и да зготови пред мојим очима јело да гледам, и из њене руке да једем.
6 So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.
И Амнон леже и учини се болестан; и кад дође цар да га види, рече Амнон цару: Нека дође Тамара сестра моја и зготови преда мном два јелца да једем из њене руке.
7 Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
Тада Давид посла к Тамари кући, и поручи јој: Иди у кућу брата свог Амнона и зготови му јело.
8 And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.
И Тамара отиде у кућу брата свог Амнона, и он лежаше; и узе брашна и замеси и зготови јело пред њим и скува.
9 And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,
Потом узе тавицу и изручи преда њ; али Амнон не хте јести, него рече: Кажите нека изиђу сви који су код мене. И изиђоше сви.
10 Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.
Тада рече Амнон Тамари: Донеси то јело у клет да једем из твоје руке. И Тамара узе јело што беше зготовила, и донесе Амнону брату свом у клет.
11 And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
А кад му пружи да једе, он је ухвати и рече јој: Ходи, лези са мном, сестро моја!
12 She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.
А она му рече: Не, брате, немој ме осрамотити, јер се тако не ради у Израиљу, не чини то безумље.
13 For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.
Куда бих ја са срамотом својом? А ти би био као који од најгорих људи у Израиљу. Него говори цару; он ме неће теби одрећи.
14 But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
Али је он не хте послушати, него савладавши је осрамоти је и облежа је.
15 Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.
А после омрзе на њу Амнон веома, те мржња којом мржаше на њу беше већа од љубави којом је пре љубљаше. И рече јој Амнон: Устани, одлази.
16 She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:
А она му рече: То ће бити веће зло од оног које си ми учинио што ме тераш. Али је он не хте послушати.
17 But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.
Него викну момка који га служаше, и рече му: Води ову од мене напоље, и закључај врата за њом.
18 And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.
А она имаше на себи шарену хаљину, јер такве хаљине ношаху царске кћери док су девојке. И слуга његов изведе је напоље, и закључа за њом врата.
19 And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.
Тада Тамара посу се пепелом по глави и раздре шарену хаљину коју имаше на себи, и метну руку своју на главу, и отиде вичући.
20 And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.
А брат њен Авесалом, рече јој: Да није Амнон брат твој био с тобом? Али, сестро моја, ћути, брат ти је, не мисли о том. И тако оста Тамара осамљена у кући брата свог Авесалома.
21 And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.
И цар Давид чувши све ово разгневи се врло.
22 But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.
Авесалом пак не говораше с Амноном ни ружно ни лепо; јер Авесалом мржаше на Амнона што му осрамоти сестру Тамару.
23 And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:
А после две године кад се стрижаху овце Авесаломове у Вал-Асору, који је код Јефрема, он позва све синове цареве.
24 And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.
И дође Авесалом к цару и рече му: Ево, сад се стрижу овце слузи твом; нека пође цар и слуге његове са слугом својим.
25 And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.
Али цар рече Авесалому: Немој, сине, немој да идемо сви, да ти не будемо на теготу. И премда наваљиваше, опет не хте ићи, него га благослови.
26 And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.
А Авесалом рече: Кад ти нећеш, а оно нека иде с нама Амнон брат мој. А цар му рече: Што да иде с тобом?
27 But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.
Али навали Авесалом на њ, те пусти с њим Амнона и све синове царске.
28 And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.
Тада Авесалом заповеди момцима својим говорећи: Пазите, кад се срце Амнону развесели од вина, и ја вам кажем: Убијте Амнона; тада га убијте; не бојте се, јер вам ја заповедам, будите слободни и храбри.
29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.
И учинише с Амноном слуге Авесаломове како им заповеди Авесалом. Тада усташе сви синови цареви и појахаше свак своју мазгу и побегоше.
30 And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
А докле још беху на путу, дође глас Давиду да је Авесалом побио све синове цареве, да није остао од њих ни један.
31 Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.
Тада уставши цар раздре хаљине своје, и леже на земљу, и све слуге његове које стајаху око њега раздреше хаљине своје.
32 But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.
А Јонадав син Саме брата Давидовог проговори и рече: Нека не говори господар мој да су побили сву децу, цареве синове; погинуо је само Амнон, јер Авесалом беше тако наумио од оног дана кад Амнон осрамоти Тамару сестру његову.
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.
Нека дакле цар господар мој не мисли о том у срцу свом говорећи: Сви синови цареви погибоше; јер је само Амнон погинуо.
34 But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.
А Авесалом побеже. А момак на стражи подиже очи своје и угледа, а то многи народ иде к њему покрај горе.
35 And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
И Јонадав рече цару: Ево иду синови цареви; као што је казао слуга твој, тако је било.
36 And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.
И кад изрече, а то синови цареви дођоше, и подигавши глас свој плакаше; а и цар и све слуге његове плакаше врло.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.
Авесалом пак побеже и отиде к Талмају сину Амијудовом цару гесурском. А Давид плакаше за сином својим сваки дан.
38 And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.
А кад Авесалом утече и дође у Гесур, оста онде три године.
39 And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
Потом зажеле цар Давид отићи к Авесалому, јер се утеши за Амноном што погибе.
