2 Samuel 13
1 Sidan hende denne tilburden: Absalom Davidsson hadde ei væn syster som heitte Tamar, og Amnon Davidsson lagde hugen til henne.
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.
2 Ja Ammon pintest so, at han vart heiltupp sjuk av lyst til syster si; for ho var møy; og Ammon øygnde ingen utveg til å gjera henne noko.
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.
3 Amnon hadde ein ven, som heitte Jonadab, son til Simea, bror åt David. Jonadab var ein utkropen kar.
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.
4 Han spurde honom: «Kvi magrast du so, du kongsson, frå dag til annan? Fortel meg det?» Amnon svara: «Eg hev huglagt Tamar, syster åt Absalom, bror min!»
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.
5 Då sagde Jonadab til honom: «Legg deg sjuk på sengi di! Og når far din kjem og ser til deg, so bed honom: «Kjære, lat Tamar, syster mi, koma og laga maten åt meg! Lat henne laga til mat for augo mine, so eg ser på! Og lat meg eta av hennar hand!»»
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.
6 Amnon lagde seg og lest som han var sjuk. Kongen kom og såg til honom. Og Amnon bad kongen: «Kjære, lat Tamar, syster mi, koma og laga tvo kakor åt meg so eg ser på og fær eta av hennar hand!»
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.
7 David sende då bod inn i huset til Tamar og bad henne: «Gakk til huset åt Amnon, bror din, og laga noko mat åt honom!»
Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.
8 Tamar gjekk til huset åt Amnon, bror sin, der han låg til sengs. Ho tok deig og knoda, og laga kakorne so han såg på, og steikte deim.
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.
9 So tok ho panna og hadde deim or for honom; men han vilde ikkje eta. So sagde Amnon: «Gakk ut alle mann!» Og dei so gjorde.
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.
10 So segjer han med Tamar: «Kom med maten her inn i kammerset, so eg fær eta av handi di!» Og Tamar tok kakorne ho hadde laga, og gjekk inn i kammerset til Amnon, bror sin.
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.
11 Men då ho bar deim fram åt honom, so han skulde eta, greip han fat i henne og sagde: «Kom og ligg med meg, syster mi!»
And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.
12 Ho svara: «Nei, bror min! Du må ikkje skjemma meg! Sovore må ikkje henda i Israel! Gjer ikkje so stygg ei gjerning!
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.
13 Kvar skulde eg gjera av meg med skammi? Og du sjølv vilde seinare heita eit styggeting i Israel. Tala fyrst med kongen! Han vil ikkje negta deg å få meg.»
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.
14 Men han vilde ikkje lyda henne. Han valdtok henne, skjemde henne, låg med henne.
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.
15 Etterpå fekk Amnon brått ein øgjeleg illvilje til henne. Illviljen han åtte mot henne no, var endå meir ofseleg enn elsken han hadde havt til henne fyrr. «Ris upp og gakk med deg!» sagde Amnon til henne.
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.
16 Ho sagde til honom: «Ikkje auka skuldi med å gjera so stor ei ugjerning som å jaga meg! det vil vera endå verre enn det andre du hev gjort med meg.» Men han vilde ikkje høyra på henne,
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.
17 men ropa på drengen, som tente hjå honom: «Få henne der burt frå meg, ut på gata!» ropa han, «og læs døri etter henne!»
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.
18 Ho gjekk i sid ermekjole; i sovorne kappor var kongsdøtterne klædde med dei var unge gjentor. Tenaren førde henne ut på gata og læste døri etter henne.
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.
19 Då tok Tamar oska og hadde på hovudet, reiv sund ermekjolen ho gjekk i, lagde handi på hovudet og gjekk og øya seg i eino.
And Tamar, in her grief, put dust on her head; and she put her hand on her head and went away crying loudly.
20 Absalom, bror hennar, spurde henne: «Hev Amnon, bror din, vore hjå deg? Teg deg no, syster! Han er bror din. Bry deg ikkje um dette!» Tamar heldt seg då heime hjå Absalom, bror sin, einsleg og yvergjevi.
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.
21 Då kong David spurde alt dette, loga harmen upp i honom.
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.
22 Absalom sagde ingen ting med Amnon anten godt eller vondt. Men Absalom hata Amnon, for di han hadde skjemt Tamar, syster hans.
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.
23 Tvo år etter hadde Absalom saueklypping i Ba’al-Hasor attmed Efraim; og Absalom bad alle kongssønerne til gjester.
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.
24 Absalom gjekk då inn til kongen og sagde: «Tenaren din held saueklypping. Eg bed at kongen og tenarane hans vil vera med.»
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?
25 Kongen svara Absalom: «Nei, guten min! Me må ikkje vera med alle; det vert for mykje bry for deg.» Endå han naudbad honom, vilde han ikkje, men bad farvel med honom.
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.
26 Då sagde Absalom: «So lat då i alle fall bror Amnon vera med!» Kongen spurde: «Kvifor nett han?»
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?
27 Men då Absalom naudbad honom, let han Amnon og alle kongssønerne vera med.
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.
28 Absalom baud drengjerne: «Sjå etter når Amnon vert lystig av vinen, og eg segjer: «Hogg til Amnon!» So drep honom hugheilt! eg tek ansvaret. Ver hugsterke, og vis de er dugande karar!»
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.
29 Absaloms-drengjerne gjorde med Amnon som Absalom hadde bode. Då spratt dei upp alle kongssønerne, steig på muldyri sine og rømde.
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.
30 Med dei endå var på vegen, fekk David høyra ei tiend um at Absalom hadde drepe alle kongssønerne, so ikkje ein einaste var att av deim.
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.
31 Då reiste kongen seg og reiv sund klædi sine og lagde seg på golvet. Og alle tenarane som stod der, reiv og sund klædi sine.
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.
32 Men Jonadab, son åt Simea, bror åt David, tok til ords og sagde: «Herre, du må ikkje tru at dei hev drepe alle dei unge kongssønerne. Det er berre Amnon som er dåen. Eg hev lese ulukka på Absaloms munn alt frå den dagen då Amnon skjemde ut Tamar, syster hans.
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.
33 Herre konge! no må du ikkje gjera deg so ilt av det, at du trur alle kongssønerne er daude. Nei, det er berre Amnon som er daud.»
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.
34 Men Absalom flydde. Då vaktmannen såg ut, fekk han sjå mykje folk kom vegen ned fjellet attanfor.
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.
35 Då sagde Jonadab til kongen: «Der kjem kongssønerne! Det er som eg sagde.»
And Jonadab said to the king, See, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.
36 Nett då han hadde tala ut, kom kongssønerne, og dei sette i og gret. Ogso kongen og alle tenarane storgret og stridgret.
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.
37 Men Absalom flydde og for til Talmai Ammihudsson, kongen i Gesur. Og han syrgde yver son sin heile tidi.
So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.
38 Absalom flydde og for til Gesur, og heldt seg der i tri år.
And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.
39 Men kong David let vera å draga ut mot Absalom; han hadde lote trøysta seg i sorgi yver at Amnon var dåen.
And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.
