< 2 Samuel 13 >

1 Pripetilo se je po tem, da je Davidov sin Absalom imel lepo sestro, ki ji je bilo ime Tamara in Davidov sin Amnón, jo je vzljubil.
After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 Amnón je bil tako obupan, da je zaradi svoje sestre Tamare zbolel, kajti bila je devica in Amnón si je mislil, da je zanj težko, da ji stori kakršno koli stvar.
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 Toda Amnón je imel prijatelja, katerega ime je bilo Jonadáb, sin Šimája, Davidovega brata. Jonadáb pa je bil zelo premeten človek.
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
4 Ta mu je rekel: »Zakaj si ti, ki si kraljev sin, iz dneva v dan slabotnejši? Ali mi ne boš povedal?« Amnón mu je rekel: »Ljubim Tamaro, sestro svojega brata Absaloma.«
He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 Jonadáb mu je rekel: »Ulezi se na svojo posteljo in se naredi bolnega in ko pride tvoj oče, da te pogleda, mu reci: ›Prosim te, naj pride moja sestra Tamara in mi da jesti in pripravi hrano v mojem pogledu, da bom to lahko videl in to pojedel pri njeni roki.‹«
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 Tako se je Amnón ulegel in se naredil bolnega in ko je kralj prišel, da ga pogleda, je Amnón rekel kralju: »Prosim te, naj pride moja sestra Tamara in mi pripravi nekaj kolačev v mojem pogledu, da bom lahko jedel pri njeni roki.«
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 Potem je David poslal domov k Tamari, rekoč: »Pojdi sedaj k hiši svojega brata Amnóna in mu pripravi hrano.«
Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
8 Tako je Tamara odšla k hiši svojega brata Amnóna in ta je ležal. Vzela je moko in jo zgnetla in naredila kolače v njegovem pogledu in kolače spekla.
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 Vzela je ponev in jih iztresla pred njim, toda odklonil je jesti. Amnón je rekel: »Odstranite od mene vse može.« In vsi možje so odšli od njega.
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 Amnón je rekel Tamari: »Prinesi hrano v sobo, da bom lahko jedel iz tvoje roke.« Tamara je vzela kolače, ki jih je naredila in jih prinesla v sobo k svojemu bratu Amnónu.
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 Ko jih je prinesla k njemu, da jé, jo je prijel in ji rekel: »Pridi, lezi z menoj, moja sestra.«
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 Odgovorila mu je: »Ne, moj brat, ne sili me, kajti nobena takšna stvar se ne bi smela storiti v Izraelu. Ne stôri te neumnosti.
She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don’t you do this folly!
13 In jaz, kam naj grem s svojo sramoto? Kar pa se tebe tiče, boš kakor nekdo izmed bedakov v Izraelu. Sedaj torej, prosim te, spregovori kralju, kajti on me ne bo zadržal pred teboj.«
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 Vendar ni hotel prisluhniti njenemu glasu, temveč ker je bil močnejši kakor ona, jo je prisilil in ležal z njo.
However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
15 Potem jo je Amnón skrajno zasovražil, tako da je bilo sovraštvo, s katerim jo je zasovražil, večje kakor ljubezen, s katero jo je ljubil. In Amnón ji je rekel: »Vstani, izgini.«
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 Rekla mu je: »Ni razloga. To zlo, da me pošiljaš proč, je večje kakor drugo, ki si mi ga storil.« Toda ni ji hotel prisluhniti.
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 Potem je poklical svojega služabnika, ki mu je služil in rekel: »Postavi sedaj to žensko stran od mene in zapahni vrata za njo.«
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 Na sebi je imela obleko iz številnih barv, kajti s takšnim svečanim oblačilom so bile oblečene kraljeve hčere, ki so bile device. Potem jo je njegov služabnik odvedel ven in za njo zapahnil vrata.
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 Tamara pa si je na svojo glavo dala pepel in pretrgala obleko iz številnih barv, ki je bila na njej in svojo roko položila na svojo glavo ter jokajoč odšla.
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 Njen brat Absalom ji je rekel: »Ali je bil tvoj brat Amnón s teboj? Toda sedaj molči, moja sestra. On je tvoj brat. Ne oziraj se na to stvar.« Tako je Tamara ostala zapuščena v hiši svojega brata Absaloma.
Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21 Toda ko je kralj David slišal o vseh teh stvareh, je bil zelo ogorčen.
But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
22 Absalom ni spregovoril svojemu bratu Amnónu niti dobro niti slabo, kajti Absalom je sovražil Amnóna, ker je posilil njegovo sestro Tamaro.
Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23 Pripetilo se je po dveh polnih letih, da je imel Absalom strižce ovc v Báal Hacórju, ki je poleg Efrájima in Absalom je povabil vse kraljeve sinove.
After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
24 Absalom je prišel h kralju ter rekel: »Glej torej, tvoj služabnik ima strižce ovc, naj kralj, rotim te in njegovi služabniki gredo s tvojim služabnikom.«
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 Kralj je rekel Absalomu: »Ne, moj sin, naj ne gremo sedaj vsi, da ti ne bi bili v breme.« Silil ga je, vendar ni želel iti, temveč ga je blagoslovil.
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 Potem je Absalom rekel: »Če ne, prosim te, naj gre z nami moj brat Amnón.« Kralj mu je rekel: »Čemu bi on šel s teboj?«
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 Toda Absalom ga je silil, da je pustil Amnóna in vse kraljeve sinove iti z njim.
But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
28 Torej Absalom je svojim služabnikom ukazal, rekoč: »Zapomnite si torej kdaj bo Amnónovo srce veselo z vinom in ko vam rečem: ›Udarite Amnóna; ‹ tedaj ga ubijte, ne bojte se; ali vam nisem jaz ukazal? Bodite pogumni in bodite hrabri.«
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. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
29 Absalomovi služabniki so storili Amnónu, kakor je Absalom zapovedal. Potem so vsi kraljevi sinovi vstali in vsak mož se je povzpel na svojo mulo ter pobegnil.
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 Pripetilo se je, ko so bili na poti, da so prišle k Davidu novice, rekoč: »Absalom je umoril vse kraljeve sinove in niti eden izmed njih ni preostal.«
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 Potem je kralj vstal in raztrgal svoje obleke in legel na zemljo in vsi njegovi služabniki so stali poleg s svojimi pretrganimi oblačili.
Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 Jonadáb, sin Davidovega brata Šimája, je odgovoril ter rekel: »Naj moj gospod ne domneva, da so umorili vse mladeniče, kraljeve sinove, kajti samo Amnón je mrtev, kajti z Absalomovo določitvijo je bilo to določeno od dneva, ko je posilil njegovo sestro Tamaro.
Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Don’t 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 Zdaj torej naj si moj gospod kralj te stvari ne vzame k srcu, da misli, da so vsi kraljevi sinovi mrtvi, kajti samo Amnón je mrtev.«
Now therefore don’t 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 Toda Absalom je pobegnil. In mladenič, ki je bil na straži, je povzdignil svoje oči in pogledal in glej, precej ljudi je prihajajo po poti od pobočja hriba za njim.
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 Jonadáb je rekel kralju: »Glej, kraljevi sinovi prihajajo. Kakor je tvoj služabnik rekel, tako je.«
Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
36 Pripetilo se je, takoj ko je končal govorjenje, glej, da so prišli kraljevi sinovi in povzdignili svoj glas ter zajokali in tudi kralj in vsi njegovi služabniki so zelo bridko jokali.
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 Toda Absalom je pobegnil in odšel k Talmáju, Amihúdovemu sinu, kralju v Gešurju. David pa je vsak dan žaloval za svojim sinom.
But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38 Tako je Absalom pobegnil in odšel v Gešur in tam je bil tri leta.
So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 Duša kralja Davida pa je hrepenela, da gre k Absalomu, kajti potolažen je bil glede Amnóna, glede na to, da je bil on mrtev.
King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
