2 Samuel 13
1 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.
E aconteceu depois disto que, tendo Absalão, filho de David, uma irmã formosa, cujo nome era Tamar, Amnon, filho de David, amou-a.
2 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.
E angustiou-se Amnon, até adoecer, por Tamar, sua irmã, porque era virgem: e parecia aos olhos de Amnon dificultoso fazer-lhe coisa alguma.
3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent man.
Tinha porém Amnon um amigo, cujo nome era Jonadab, filho de Simea, irmão de David: e era Jonadab homem mui sagaz.
4 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.”
O qual lhe disse: Porque tu de manhã em manhã tanto emagreces, sendo filho do rei? não mo farás saber a mim? Então lhe disse Amnon: Amo a Tamar, irmã de Absalão, meu irmão,
5 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.’”
E Jonadab lhe disse: Deita-te na tua cama, e finge-te doente; e, quando teu pai te vier visitar, dize-lhe: Peço-te que minha irmã Tamar venha, e me dê de comer pão, e apreste a comida diante dos meus olhos, para que eu a veja e coma da sua mão
6 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.”
Deitou-se pois Amnon, e fingiu-se doente; e, vindo o rei visita-lo, disse Amnon ao rei: Peço-te que minha irmã Tamar venha, e apreste dois bolos diante dos meus olhos, que eu coma de sua mão.
7 Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him.”
Mandou então David a casa, a Tamar, dizendo: vai a casa de Amnon, teu irmão, e faze-lhe alguma comida.
8 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.
E foi Tamar a casa de Amnon, seu irmão (ele porém estava deitado), e tomou massa, e a amassou, e fez bolos diante dos seus olhos, e cozeu os bolos.
9 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,
E tomou a sertã, e os tirou diante dele; porém ele recusou comer. E disse Amnon: Fazei retirar a todos da minha presença. E todos se retiraram dele.
10 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.
Então disse Amnon a Tamar: Traze a comida à câmara, e comerei da tua mão. E tomou Tamar os bolos que fizera, e os trouxe a Amnon, seu irmão, à câmara.
11 And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “Come lie with me, my sister.”
E chegando-lhos, para que comesse, pegou dela, e disse-lhe: Vem, deita-te comigo, irmã minha.
12 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.
Porém ela lhe disse: Não, irmão meu, não me forces, porque não se faz assim em Israel; não faças tal loucura.
13 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.”
Porque, aonde iria eu com a minha vergonha? E tu serias como um dos loucos de Israel. Agora, pois, peço-te que fales ao rei, porque não me negará a ti
14 But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.
Porém ele não quis dar ouvidos à sua voz; antes, sendo mais forte do que ela, a forçou, e se deitou com ela.
15 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.”
Depois Amnon a aborreceu com grandíssimo aborrecimento, porque maior era o aborrecimento com que a aborrecia do que o amor com que a amara, E disse-lhe Amnon: Levanta-te, e vai-te.
16 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.
Então ela lhe disse: Não há razão de me despedires assim; maior seria este mal do que o outro que já me tens feito. Porém não lhe quis dar ouvidos.
17 Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind her.”
E chamou a seu moço que o servia, e disse: Deita a esta fora, e fecha a porta após ela.
18 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.
E trazia ela uma roupa de muitas cores (porque assim se vestiam as filhas virgens dos reis, com capas), e seu criado a deitou fora, e fechou a porta após ela.
19 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.
Então Tamar tomou cinza sobre a sua cabeça, e a roupa de muitas cores que trazia rasgou: e pôs as mãos sobre a cabeça, e foi-se andando e clamando.
20 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.
E Absalão, seu irmão, lhe disse: Esteve Amnon, teu irmão, contigo? Ora pois, irmã minha, cala-te; é teu irmão. Não se angustie o teu coração por isto. Assim ficou Tamar, e esteve solitária em casa de Absalão seu irmão
21 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.
E, ouvindo o rei David todas estas coisas, muito se acendeu em ira.
22 Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.
Porém Absalão não falou com Amnon, nem mal nem bem; porque Absalão aborrecia a Amnon, por ter forçado a Tamar sua irmã
23 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.
E aconteceu que, passados dois anos inteiros, Absalão tinha tosquiadores em Bal-hasor, que está junto a Ephraim: e convidou Absalão a todos os filhos do rei.
24 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.”
E veio Absalão ao rei, e disse: Eis que teu servo tem tosquiadores: peço que o rei e os seus servos venham com o teu servo.
25 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.
O rei porém disse a Absalão: Não, filho meu, não vamos todos juntos, para não te sermos pezados. E instou com ele; porém ele não quis ir, mas o abençoou.
26 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.”
Então disse Absalão: Quando não, deixa ir conosco Amnon, meu irmão. Porém o rei lhe disse: Para que iria contigo?
27 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.
E, instando Absalão com ele, deixou ir com ele a Amnon, e a todos os filhos do rei.
28 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.”
E Absalão deu ordem aos seus moços, dizendo: tomai sentido; quando o coração de Amnon estiver alegre do vinho, e eu vos disser: Feri a Amnon, então o matareis; não temais; porque porventura não sou eu quem vo-lo ordenei? esforçai-vos, e sede valentes.
29 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.
E os moços de Absalão fizeram a Amnon como Absalão lho havia ordenado. Então todos os filhos do rei se levantaram, e montaram cada um no seu mulo, e fugiram.
30 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.”
E aconteceu que, estando eles ainda no caminho, veio a nova a David, dizendo-se: Absalão feriu a todos os filhos do rei, e nenhum deles ficou.
31 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.
Então o rei se levantou, e rasgou os seus vestidos, e se lançou por terra: da mesma maneira todos os seus servos estavam com vestidos rotos.
32 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.
Mas Jonadab, filho de Simea, irmão de David, respondeu, e disse: Não diga o meu senhor que mataram a todos os mancebos filhos do rei, porque só morreu Amnon: porque assim o tinha resolvido fazer Absalão, desde o dia em que forçou a Tamar sua irmã
33 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.”
Não se lhe meta pois agora no coração do rei meu senhor tal coisa, dizendo: Morreram todos os filhos do rei: porque só morreu Amnon.
34 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.
E Absalão fugiu: e o mancebo que estava de guarda, levantou os seus olhos, e olhou; e eis que muito povo vinha pelo caminho por detraz dele, pela banda do monte.
35 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.”
Então disse Jonadab ao rei: Eis aqui veem os filhos do rei: conforme à palavra de teu servo, assim sucedeu.
36 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.
E aconteceu que, como acabou de falar, os filhos do rei vieram, e levantaram a sua voz, e choraram: e também o rei e todos os seus servos choraram com mui grande choro.
37 But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.
Assim Absalão fugiu, e se foi a Talmai, filho de Ammihur, rei de Gesur. E David trouxe dó por seu filho todos aqueles dias.
38 Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for three years.
Assim Absalão fugiu, e foi para Gesur: esteve ali três anos.
39 And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.
Então tinha o rei David saudades de Absalão: porque já se tinha consolado acerca de Amnon, que era morto.
