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.

1. A potom se dogodi ovo: Davidov sin Abšalom imao je lijepu sestru po imenu Tamaru i u nju se zaljubio Davidov sin Amnon.

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.

2. Amnon se toliko muèio da se gotovo razbolio radi svoje sestre Tamare: jer ona bijaše djevica, pa Amnon nije vidio moguænosti da joj uèini bilo što.

3. Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent man.

3. Ali imaše Amnon prijatelja po imenu Jonadaba, sina Davidova brata Šimeja; a Jonadab bijaše vrlo domišljat.

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.”

4. I upita on Amnona: "Odakle to, kraljev sine, da si svako jutro mlitav? Ne bi li mi kazao?" A Amnon mu odgovori: "Zaljubljen sam u Tamaru, sestru svoga brata Abšaloma."

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.’ ”

5. A Jonadab mu reèe: "Lezi u postelju i prièini se bolestan, pa kad doðe tvoj otac da te pohodi, ti mu reci: 'Dopusti da doðe moja sestra Tamara da mi dade jesti; ako ona pred mojim oèima zgotovi jelo da to vidim, onda æu iz njezine ruke jesti.'"

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.”

6. Amnon, dakle, leže i prièini se bolestan. Kad je došao kralj da ga pohodi, reèe Amnon kralju: "Dopusti da doðe moja sestra Tamara da pred mojim oèima zgotovi koji kolaè i ja æu se okrijepiti iz njezine ruke."

7. Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him.”

7. Tada David poruèi Tamari u palaèu: "Idi u kuæu svoga brata Amnona i priredi mu jelo!"

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.

8. Tamara ode u kuæu svoga brata Amnona. A on ležaše. Uze ona brašna, umijesi ga, naèini kolaèe pred njegovim oèima te ih ispeèe.

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,

9. Potom uze tavu i istrese je preda nj, ali Amnon ne htjede jesti nego reèe: "Otpremite sve odavde!" I svi iziðoše od njega.

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.

10. Tada Amnon reèe Tamari: "Donesi mi jelo u spavaonicu da se okrijepim iz tvoje ruke!" I Tamara uze kolaèe koje bijaše zgotovila i donese ih svome bratu Amnonu u spavaonicu.

11. And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “Come lie with me, my sister.”

11. A kad mu je pružila da jede, on je uhvati rukom i reèe joj: "Doði, sestro moja, lezi sa mnom!"

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.

12. A ona mu reèe: "Nemoj, brate moj! Ne sramoti me jer se tako ne radi u Izraelu. Ne èini takve sramote!

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.”

13. Kuda bih ja sa svojom sramotom? A i ti bi bio kao bestidnik u Izraelu! Nego govori s kraljem: on me neæe uskratiti tebi!"

14. But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.

14. Ali je on ne htjede poslušati, nego je svlada i leže s njom.

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.”

15. Nato je odmah zamrzi silnom mržnjom te je mržnja kojom ju je zamrzio bila veæa od ljubavi kojom ju je prije ljubio. I reèe joj Amnon: "Ustani! Odlazi!"

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.

16. A ona mu odvrati: "Ne, brate moj! Ako me sad otjeraš, bit æe to veæe zlo od onoga koje si mi uèinio!" Ali je on ne htjede slušati,

17. Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind her.”

17. nego dozva momka koji ga je služio i zapovjedi mu: "Otjeraj ovu od mene, izbaci je i zakljuèaj vrata za njom!"

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.

18. (A ona je imala na sebi haljinu s dugim rukavima, jer su se nekoæ u takve haljine oblaèile kraljeve kæeri dok su bile djevojke.) Sluga je izvede van i zakljuèa vrata za njom.

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.

19. Tada Tamara uze prašine i posu se njom po glavi, razdrije haljinu s dugim rukavima koju je imala na sebi, stavi ruku na glavu i ode vièuæi glasno dok je išla.

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.

20. A njezin je brat Abšalom upita: "Je li možda tvoj brat Amnon bio s tobom? Ali sada, sestro moja, šuti: brat ti je! Ne uzimaj to k srcu!" Tako je Tamara ostala osamljena u kuæi svoga brata Abšaloma.

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.

21. Kad je kralj David èuo sve što se dogodilo, vrlo se razgnjevi, ali ne htjede žalostiti svoga sina Amnona, koga je ljubio jer mu bijaše prvoroðenac.

22. Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.

22. A Abšalom ne reèe Amnonu ni rijeèi, ni zle ni dobre, jer je Abšalom zamrzio Amnona što mu osramoti sestru Tamaru.

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.

23. A poslije dvije godine imao je Abšalom striženje ovaca u Baal Hasoru kod Efrajima; i Abšalom pozva svu kraljevu obitelj.

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.”

24. Abšalom doðe kralju i reèe mu: "Evo, tvoj sluga ima striženje ovaca, pa neka se kralj i njegovi dvorani udostoje doæi svome sluzi."

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.

25. Ali kralj odgovori Abšalomu: "Ne, sine, neæemo doæi svi, da ti ne budemo na teret." Abšalom ustraja, ali kralj ne htjede iæi, nego ga blagoslovi i otpusti.

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.”

26. Ali Abšalom nastavi: "Ako ti neæeš, dopusti da bar moj brat Amnon poðe s nama." A kralj ga upita: "Zašto da ide s tobom?"

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.

27. Ali je Abšalom i dalje navaljivao te David naposljetku pusti s njim Amnona i sve kraljeve sinove. Abšalom priredi kraljevsku gozbu

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.”

28. i zapovjedi svojim slugama ovako: "Pazite! Kad se Amnonu razveseli srce od vina i ja vam viknem: 'Ubijte Amnona!' tada ga pogubite! Ne bojte se, jer vam tako zapovijedam! Ohrabrite se i pokažite se junaci!"

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.

29. I Abšalomove sluge uèiniše s Amnonom kako im zapovjedi Abšalom. Tada skoèiše svi kraljevi sinovi, pojahaše svaki svoju mazgu i pobjegoše.

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.”

30. Dok su oni još bili na putu, doðe ovakva vijest Davidu: "Abšalom je pobio sve kraljeve sinove, nije ostao od njih ni jedan jedini."

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.

31. Kralj ustade, razdrije svoje haljine i baci se na zemlju; i svi njegovi dvorani koji stajahu oko njega razdriješe svoje haljine.

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.

32. Ali Jonadab, sin Davidova brata Šimeja, progovori ovako: "Neka ne govori moj gospodar da su pobili sve mladiæe, kraljeve sinove, jer je poginuo samo Amnon: na Abšalomovu licu mogla se predviðati nesreæa od onoga dana kad je Amnon osramotio njegovu sestru Tamaru.

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.”

33. Zato neka sada moj gospodar i kralj ne misli u srcu da su svi kraljevi sinovi poginuli. Poginuo je samo 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.

34. a Abšalom je pobjegao." A momak koji bijaše na straži podiže oèi i ugleda mnoštvo naroda gdje silazi cestom od Horonajima. Stražar doðe i javi kralju: "Vidio sam ljude gdje silaze cestom od Horonajima po gorskom obronku."

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.”

35. Tada Jonadab reèe kralju: "Evo stigoše kraljevi sinovi! Dogodilo se kako je rekao tvoj sluga."

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.

36. Tek što je to izrekao, a to kraljevi sinovi uðoše i zaplakaše u sav glas; a i kralj i svi njegovi dvorani plakahu.

37. But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.

37. Abšalom pak bijaše pobjegao i otišao k Talmaju, sinu Amihudovu, gešurskom kralju. A David tugovaše za svojim sinom bez prestanka.

38. Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for three years. And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.

38. A pošto je Abšalom pobjegao i otišao u Gešur, ostao je ondje tri godine.

39.

39. Kralj David prestao se srditi na Abšaloma jer se utješio zbog smrti Amnonove.
