2 Samuel 13

Amnon dan Tamar 13:1 Sesudah itu terjadilah yang berikut. Absalom bin Daud mempunyai seorang adik perempuan yang cantik, namanya Tamar; dan Amnon bin Daud jatuh cinta kepadanya. 13:2 Hati Amnon sangat tergoda, sehingga ia jatuh sakit karena Tamar, saudaranya itu, sebab anak perempuan itu masih perawan dan menurut anggapan Amnon mustahil untuk melakukan sesuatu terhadap dia. 13:3 Amnon mempunyai seorang sahabat bernama Yonadab, anak Simea kakak Daud. Yonadab itu seorang yang sangat cerdik. 13:4 Katanya kepada Amnon: "Hai anak raja, mengapa engkau demikian merana setiap pagi? Tidakkah lebih baik engkau memberitahukannya kepadaku?" Kata Amnon kepadanya: "Aku cinta kepada Tamar, adik perempuan Absalom, saudaraku itu." 13:5 Lalu berkatalah Yonadab kepadanya: "Berbaringlah di tempat tidurmu dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Apabila ayahmu datang menengok engkau, maka haruslah engkau berkata kepadanya: Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang memberi aku makan. Apabila ia menyediakan makanan di depan mataku, sehingga aku dapat melihatnya, maka aku akan memakannya dari tangannya." 13:6 Sesudah itu berbaringlah Amnon dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Ketika raja datang menengok dia, berkatalah Amnon kepada raja: "Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang membuat barang dua kue di depan mataku, supaya aku memakannya dari tangannya." 13:7 Lalu Daud menyuruh orang kepada Tamar, ke rumahnya, dengan pesan: "Pergilah ke rumah Amnon, kakakmu dan sediakanlah makanan baginya." 13:8 Maka Tamar pergi ke rumah Amnon, kakaknya, yang sedang berbaring-baring, lalu anak perempuan itu mengambil adonan, meremasnya dan membuat kue di depan matanya, kemudian dibakarnya kue itu. 13:9 Sesudah itu gadis itu mengambil kuali dan mengeluarkan isinya di depan Amnon, tetapi ia tidak mau makan. Berkatalah Amnon: "Suruhlah setiap orang keluar meninggalkan aku." Lalu keluarlah setiap orang meninggalkan dia. 13:10 Lalu berkatalah Amnon kepada Tamar: "Bawalah makanan itu ke dalam kamar, supaya aku memakannya dari tanganmu." Tamar mengambil kue yang disediakannya itu, lalu membawanya kepada Amnon, kakaknya, ke dalam kamar. 13:11 Ketika gadis itu menghidangkannya kepadanya supaya ia makan, dipegangnyalah gadis itu dan berkata kepadanya: "Marilah tidur dengan aku, adikku." 13:12 Tetapi gadis itu berkata kepadanya: "Tidak kakakku, jangan perkosa aku, sebab orang tidak berlaku seperti itu di Israel. Janganlah berbuat noda seperti itu. 13:13 Dan aku, ke manakah kubawa kecemaranku? Dan engkau ini, engkau akan dianggap sebagai orang yang bebal di Israel. Oleh sebab itu, berbicaralah dengan raja, sebab ia tidak akan menolak memberikan aku kepadamu." 13:14 Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan perkataannya, dan sebab ia lebih kuat dari padanya, diperkosanyalah dia, lalu tidur dengan dia. 13:15 Kemudian timbullah kebencian yang sangat besar pada Amnon terhadap gadis itu, bahkan lebih besar benci yang dirasanya kepada gadis itu dari pada cinta yang dirasanya sebelumnya. Lalu Amnon berkata kepadanya: "Bangunlah, enyahlah!" 13:16 Lalu berkatalah gadis itu kepadanya: "Tidak kakakku, sebab menyuruh aku pergi adalah lebih jahat dari pada apa yang telah kaulakukan kepadaku tadi." Tetapi Amnon tidak mau mendengarkan dia. 13:17 Dipanggilnya orang muda yang melayani dia, katanya: "Suruhlah perempuan ini pergi dari padaku dan kuncilah pintu di belakangnya." 13:18 Gadis itu memakai baju kurung yang maha indah; sebab demikianlah puteri-puteri raja yang masih perawan berpakaikan baju kurung panjang. Kemudian pelayan itu menyuruh dia keluar, lalu mengunci pintu di belakangnya. 13:19 Lalu Tamar menaruh abu di atas kepalanya, mengoyakkan baju kurung yang maha indah yang dipakainya, meletakkan tangannya di atas kepalanya dan pergilah ia sambil meratap dengan nyaring. 13:20 Bertanyalah Absalom, kakaknya, kepadanya: "Apakah Amnon, kakakmu itu, bersetubuh dengan engkau? Maka sekarang, adikku, diamlah saja, bukankah ia kakakmu, janganlah begitu memikirkan perkara itu." Lalu Tamar tinggal di rumah Absalom, kakaknya itu, seorang diri. 13:21 Ketika segala perkara itu didengar raja Daud sangat marahlah ia. 13:22 Dan Absalom tidak berkata-kata dengan Amnon, baik tentang yang jahat maupun tentang yang baik, tetapi Absalom membenci Amnon, sebab ia telah memperkosa Tamar, adiknya. Amnon dibunuh, Absalom melarikan diri 13:23 Sesudah lewat dua tahun, Absalom mengadakan pengguntingan bulu domba di Baal-Hazor yang dekat kota Efraim. Lalu Absalom mengundang semua anak raja. 13:24 Kemudian Absalom menghadap raja, lalu berkata: "Hambamu ini mengadakan pengguntingan bulu domba. Kiranya raja dan pegawai-pegawainya ikut bersama-sama dengan hambamu ini." 13:25 Tetapi raja berkata kepada Absalom: "Maaf, anakku, jangan kami semua pergi, supaya kami jangan menyusahkan engkau." Lalu Absalom mendesak, tetapi raja tidak mau pergi, ia hanya memberi restu kepadanya. 13:26 Kemudian berkatalah Absalom: "Kalau tidak, izinkanlah kakakku Amnon pergi beserta kami." Tetapi raja menjawabnya: "Apa gunanya ia pergi bersama-sama dengan engkau?" 13:27 Tetapi ketika Absalom mendesak, diizinkannyalah Amnon dan semua anak raja pergi beserta dia. 13:28 Lalu Absalom memerintahkan orang-orangnya, demikian: "Perhatikan! Apabila hati Amnon menjadi gembira karena anggur, dan aku berkata kepadamu: Paranglah Amnon, maka haruslah kamu membunuh dia. Jangan takut. Bukankah aku yang memerintahkannya kepadamu? Kuatkanlah hatimu dan tunjukkanlah dirimu sebagai orang yang gagah perkasa!" 13:29 Orang-orang Absalom memperlakukan Amnon seperti yang diperintahkan Absalom. Lalu bangunlah semua anak raja itu, mereka menaiki bagalnya masing-masing dan melarikan diri. 13:30 Mereka masih di tengah jalan, ketika kabar sampai kepada Daud, demikian: "Absalom telah membunuh semua anak raja, tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang lolos." 13:31 Lalu bangunlah raja, dikoyakkannya pakaiannya dan berbaring di lantai, dan semua pegawainya yang hadir padanya mengoyakkan pakaian mereka. 13:32 Maka berbicaralah Yonadab, anak Simea, kakak Daud, katanya: "Janganlah tuanku menyangka, bahwa semua orang muda anak-anak raja itu, telah dibunuh. Hanya Amnon yang mati, sebab hal itu telah terlihat pada air muka Absalom, sejak Amnon memperkosa Tamar, adiknya. 13:33 Jadi, janganlah tuanku raja menaruh pikiran dalam hatinya, bahwa semua anak raja itu sudah mati, sebab hanya Amnon yang mati." 13:34 Absalom melarikan diri. Ketika orang yang berjaga-jaga melayangkan pandangnya, maka terlihatlah olehnya sejumlah besar orang datang dari jurusan Horonaim, sepanjang sisi pegunungan. 13:35 Berkatalah Yonadab kepada raja: "Lihat, anak-anak raja datang! Benar seperti kata hambamu ini." 13:36 Baru saja ia habis berkata, datanglah anak-anak raja itu. Mereka menangis dengan suara nyaring. Juga raja dan semua pegawainya menangis dengan amat keras. 13:37 Absalom telah melarikan diri dan telah pergi kepada Talmai bin Amihur, raja negeri Gesur. Dan Daud berdukacita berhari-hari lamanya karena anaknya itu. 13:38 Absalom telah melarikan diri dan telah pergi ke Gesur; ia tinggal di sana tiga tahun lamanya. 13:39 Lalu raja tidak lagi marah terhadap Absalom, sebab kesedihan hatinya karena kematian Amnon telah surut.

13:1 After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name [was] Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
13:2 Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she [was] a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her.
13:3 But Amnon had a friend whose name [was] Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother. Now Jonadab [was] a very crafty man.
13:4 And he said to him, "Why [are] you, the king's son, becoming thinner day after day? Will you not tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."
13:5 So Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, `Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see [it] and eat it from her hand.'"
13:6 Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let Tamar my sister come and make a couple of cakes for me in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."
13:7 And David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Now go to your brother Amnon's house, and prepare food for him."
13:8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded [it], made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
13:9 And she took the pan and placed [them] out before him, but he refused to eat. Then Amnon said, "Have everyone go out from me." And they all went out from him.
13:10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand." And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought [them] to Amnon her brother in the bedroom.
13:11 Now when she had brought [them] to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."
13:12 And she answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!
13:13 "And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you."
13:14 However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
13:15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her [was] greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone!"
13:16 So she said to him, "No, indeed! This evil of sending me away [is] worse than the other that you did to me." But he would not listen to her.
13:17 Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, "Here! Put this [woman] out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her."
13:18 Now she had on a robe of many colors, for the king's virgin daughters wore such apparel. And his servant put her out and bolted the door behind her.
13:19 Then Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her robe of many colors that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly.
13:20 And Absalom her brother said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He [is] your brother; do not take this thing to heart." So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
13:21 But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
13:22 And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
13:23 And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which [is] near Ephraim; so Absalom invited all the king's sons.
13:24 Then Absalom came to the king and said, "Kindly note, your servant has sheepshearers; please, let the king and his servants go with your servant."
13:25 But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, let us not all go now, lest we be a burden to you." Then he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.
13:26 Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." And the king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"
13:27 But Absalom urged him; so he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
13:28 Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, "Watch now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, `Strike Amnon!' then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant."
13:29 So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each one got on his mule and fled.
13:30 And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David, saying, "Absalom has killed all the king's sons, and not one of them is left!"
13:31 So the king arose and tore his garments and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
13:32 Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, "Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
13:33 "Now therefore, let not 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."
13:34 Then Absalom fled. And the young man who was keeping watch lifted his eyes and looked, and there, many people were coming from the road on the hillside behind him.
13:35 And Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is."
13:36 So it was, as soon as he had finished speaking, that the king's sons indeed came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.
13:37 But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.
13:38 So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
13:39 And King David longed to go to Absalom. For he had been comforted concerning Amnon, because he was dead.
