2 Samuel 13
1 Absalom putra Daud mempunyai seorang adik perempuan yang cantik, namanya Tamar. Amnon putra Daud dari istri yang lain, jatuh cinta kepada Tamar
And it happened after this that Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name [was] Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 dan ingin tidur bersamanya. Tetapi itu mustahil baginya karena Tamar belum kawin dan tidak boleh bergaul dengan laki-laki. Amnon terus-menerus memikirkan hal itu sampai akhirnya ia jatuh sakit.
And Amnon was distressed even to sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it seemed very difficult for Amnon to do anything to her.
3 Amnon mempunyai seorang sahabat yang sangat cerdik, namanya Yonadab anak Simea abang Daud.
And Amnon had a friend, and his name [was] Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and Jonadab [was] a very cunning man.
4 Yonadab berkata kepada Amnon, "Pangeran, mengapa setiap hari engkau kelihatan begitu sedih? Ada apa?" Jawab Amnon, "Aku jatuh cinta kepada Tamar, adik Absalom saudaraku itu."
And he said to him, What ails you that you are thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? will you not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.
5 Lalu kata Yonadab kepadanya, "Itu mudah saja! Berbaringlah di tempat tidur, dan buatlah seolah-olah sedang sakit. Jika ayahmu datang menengokmu, katakan kepadanya, 'Ayah, izinkanlah Tamar datang supaya diberinya aku makan. Jika aku dapat melihat dia memasak makanan itu di sini, aku bisa makan.'"
And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon your bed, and make yourself sick, and your father shall come in to see you; and you shall say to him, Let, I pray you, Themar my sister come, and feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may see and eat at her hands.
6 Kemudian Amnon berbaring di tempat tidur, seolah-olah sakit. Ketika Raja Daud datang menengoknya, Amnon berkata kepadanya, "Ayah, izinkanlah Tamar datang untuk memasak kue di hadapanku di sini; nanti aku akan mau makan."
So Ammon lay down, and made himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray you, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.
7 Kemudian Daud mengirim pesan kepada Tamar di istana, katanya, "Pergilah ke rumah abangmu Amnon, dan buatlah makanan untuk dia."
And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to your brother's house, and dress him food.
8 Lalu Tamar pergi ke sana dan mendapati Amnon berbaring di tempat tidur. Tamar mengambil sedikit adonan, lalu di depan Amnon ia menyiapkan kue untuk dipanggang.
And Themar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he [was] lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
9 Setelah itu dikeluarkannya kue itu dari panci dan dihidangkannya. Tetapi Amnon tidak mau makan. Ia berkata, "Suruhlah semuanya keluar dari sini!"
And she took the frying pan and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.
10 Setelah semua orang keluar dari kamar itu, berkatalah Amnon kepada Tamar, "Bawalah kue-kue itu ke mari, ke tempat tidurku, dan suapilah aku!" Tamar menurut.
And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of your hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.
11 Tetapi ketika Tamar mengulurkan kue itu kepadanya, Amnon memegang gadis itu sambil berkata, "Dik, mari tidur bersamaku!"
And she brought [them] to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
12 "Ah, jangan, bang!" jawab gadis itu. "Janganlah kaupaksa aku melakukan hal yang sehina itu! Hal seperti itu tak pernah dilakukan di Israel.
And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.
13 Jika terjadi begitu, ke mana aku harus menyembunyikan mukaku? Lagipula, engkau pun akan dihina orang di Israel ini. Sebaiknya engkau bicarakanlah dengan raja, pasti raja akan setuju aku menjadi istrimu."
And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray you, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from you.
14 Tetapi Amnon tidak mau menurut, dan karena ia lebih kuat, dipaksanya adiknya itu dengan kekerasan, lalu diperkosanya.
But Amnon would not listen to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.
15 Tetapi sesudah itu Amnon sangat benci kepada Tamar dan kebenciannya itu lebih besar daripada cintanya semula. Lalu ia berkata kepada adiknya itu, "Ke luar!"
Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and be gone.
16 Tamar menjawab, "Ah, mengapa begitu bang? Kalau kauusir aku, kejahatan itu lebih besar daripada hal yang telah kaulakukan tadi!" Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan.
And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, [said she], than the other that you did me, to send me away: but Amnon would not listen to her voice.
17 Ia memanggil pelayan pribadinya lalu berkata, "Bawalah perempuan ini ke luar, dan kuncilah pintu!"
And he called his servant who had charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this [woman] out from me, and shut the door after her.
18 Pelayan itu melakukan perintahnya itu. Pakaian Tamar adalah jubah panjang yang berlengan panjang. Pada zaman itu putri-putri yang belum kawin biasanya memakai pakaian seperti itu.
And she had on her a variegated robe, for so were the king's daughters that were virgins attired in their apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut the door after her.
19 Lalu Tamar menaruh abu di kepalanya, menyobek jubahnya, dan pergi sambil menutup mukanya dengan kedua tangannya serta menangis pilu.
And Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she tore the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.
20 Ketika Absalom melihatnya, bertanyalah ia, "Apakah Amnon tadi melanggar kehormatanmu? Sudahlah adikku, jangan kaupikirkan lagi. Kan dia abangmu, jadi janganlah beritahukan hal itu kepada siapa-siapa." Lalu Tamar mengasingkan diri di rumah Absalom, dan ia sangat sedih serta kesepian.
And Abessalom her brother said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is your brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar lived as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.
21 Raja Daud mendengar tentang peristiwa itu, dan ia menjadi sangat marah.
And king David heard of all these things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son Amnon, because be loved him, for he was his firstborn.
22 Absalom dendam sekali kepada Amnon dan tidak mau lagi berbicara dengan dia karena ia telah memperkosa Tamar adiknya.
And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.
23 Dua tahun kemudian Absalom mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor, dekat kota Efraim, dan ia mengundang semua putra raja.
And it came to pass at the end of two whole years, that they were shearing [sheep] for Abessalom in Belasor near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king's sons.
24 Ia menghadap Raja Daud dan berkata, "Ayah, aku mengadakan pesta pengguntingan bulu domba. Sudilah Ayah datang juga ke pesta itu dengan para pembesar istana."
And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, your servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with your servant.
25 Tetapi raja menjawab, "Jangan, Anakku, sebab jika kami semua datang kami akan menyusahkanmu." Absalom terus mendesak, tetapi ayahnya tetap tidak mau datang. Ia hanya memberi restu kepadanya.
And the king said to Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to you. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.
26 Lalu berkatalah Absalom, "Kalau begitu, izinkanlah saudaraku Amnon ikut dengan kami." Kata raja, "Tak usahlah dia ikut."
And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let I pray you, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?
27 Tetapi karena Absalom terus mendesak, akhirnya Daud mengizinkan Amnon dan semua putranya yang lain ikut dengan Absalom. (Lalu Absalom menghidangkan makanan yang mewah sekali.)
And Abessalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king's sons; and Abessalom made a banquet like the banquet of the king.
28 Ia memerintahkan kepada hamba-hambanya, "Perhatikan baik-baik, jika Amnon sudah mabuk karena minum anggur, aku akan memberi aba-aba, lalu bunuhlah dia. Jangan takut. Aku yang bertanggung jawab atas hal itu. Bertindaklah dengan berani dan jangan ragu-ragu!"
And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Strike Amnon, and kill him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
29 Hamba-hamba itu melaksanakan perintah Absalom, lalu mereka membunuh Amnon. Melihat itu putra-putra Daud yang lain menaiki bagalnya masing-masing dan melarikan diri.
And the servants of Abessalom did to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.
30 Sementara mereka masih dalam perjalanan pulang, diberitahu orang kepada Daud, "Absalom telah membunuh semua putra Baginda--tak seorang pun yang hidup!"
And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
31 Raja bangkit, lalu menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan merebahkan dirinya ke lantai. Semua pegawainya ikut menyobek pakaian mereka.
Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him tore their garments.
32 Tetapi Yonadab anak Simea abang Daud berkata, "Baginda, jangan cemas dan jangan pikir bahwa semua putra Baginda sudah mati. Hanya Amnon yang tewas, sebab sudah jelas bahwa itulah yang dikehendaki Absalom sejak Tamar adiknya diperkosa oleh Amnon.
And Jonadab the son of Samaa brother of David, answered and said, Let not my Lord the king say that he has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them all is dead; for he was appointed [to death] by the mouth of Abessalom from the day that he humbled his sister Themar.
33 Jadi janganlah percaya bahwa putra Baginda telah meninggal semua, sebab yang tewas hanyalah Amnon saja."
And now let not my lord the king take the matter to heart, saying, All the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only of them is dead.
34 Sementara itu Absalom telah melarikan diri. Penjaga istana Daud melihat banyak orang datang menuruni gunung dari jurusan Horonaim. Maka pergilah ia kepada raja melaporkan hal itu.
And Abessalom escaped: and the young man the watchman, lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.
35 Lalu Yonadab berkata kepada Daud, "Itulah putra-putra Baginda! Betul seperti yang hamba katakan tadi."
And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of your servant, so has it happened.
36 Baru saja ia selesai bicara, masuklah putra-putra Daud ke dalam ruangan. Mereka itu mulai menangis, dan Daud serta hamba-hambanya juga menangis dengan sedih.
And it came to pass when he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.
37 Absalom mengungsi ke istana raja negeri Gesur, yaitu Talmai anak Amihur. Ia tinggal di situ selama tiga tahun. Lama Daud berkabung untuk Amnon,
But Abessalom fled, and went to Tholmi son of Emiud the king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and king David mourned for his son continually.
So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.
39 tetapi setelah Daud tak bersedih hati lagi, ia sangat merindukan Absalom.
And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.
