2 Samuel 13

² Amnon blev syg af Attrå efter sin Søster Tamar; thi hun var Jomfru, og Amnon øjnede ingen Mulighed for at få sin Vilje med hende.

² Amnon was so frustrated because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

⁴ han sagde til ham: "Hvorfor er du så elendig hver Morgen, Kongesøn? Vil du ikke sige mig det?" Amnon svarede: "Jeg elsker min Broder Absalons Søster Tamar!"

⁴ He said to him, “O son of the king, why are you so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” Then Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”

⁶ Så gik Amnon til Sengs og lod. som han var syg; og da Kongen kom for at se til ham, sagde Amnon til Kongen: "Lad min Søster Tamar komme og lave et Par Kager i mit Påsyn og selv give mig dem: så kan jeg spise."

⁶ So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”

⁸ Og Tamar gik over til sin Broder Amnons Hus, hvor han lå til Sengs, tog Dejen, æltede den og lavede Kagerne i hans Påsyn og bagte dem;

⁸ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house, and he was lying down. And she took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

¹⁰ sagde Amnon til Tamar: "Bær Maden ind i Inderværelset og lad mig få den af din egen Hånd!" Da tog Tamar Kagerne, som hun havde lavet, og bar dem ind i Inderværelset til sin Broder Amnon.

¹⁰ Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” So Tamar took the cakes which she had made and brought them into the bedroom to her brother Amnon.

¹² Men hun sagde: "Nej, Broder! Krænk mig ikke! Således gør man ikke i Israel! Øv dog ikke denne Skændselsdåd!

¹² But she answered him, “No, my brother, do not violate me, for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this disgraceful thing!

¹⁴ Han, vilde dog ikke høre hende, men tog hende med Vold, krænkede hende og lå hos hende.

¹⁴ However, he would not listen to her; since he was stronger than she, he violated her and lay with her.

¹⁶ Da sagde hun til ham: "Nej, Broder! Den Udåd, at du nu jager mig bort, er endnu større end den anden, du øvede imod mig!" Han vilde dog ikke høre hende,

¹⁶ But she said to him, “No, because this wrong in sending me away is greater than the other that you have done to me!” Yet he would not listen to her.

¹⁸ Hun bar en fodsid Kjortel med Ærmer; thi således klædte Jomfruerne blandt Kongedøtrene sig fordum. Tjeneren førte hende da ud af Huset og stængede Døren efter hende.

¹⁸ Now she had on a long-sleeved garment; for in this manner the virgin daughters of the king dressed themselves in robes. Then his attendant took her out and locked the door behind her.

²⁰ Da sagde hendes Broder Absalon til hende: "Har din Broder Amnon været hos dig? Ti nu stille, Søster! Han er jo din Broder; tag dig ikke den Sag nær!" Tamar sad da ensom hen i sin Broder Absalons Hus.

²⁰ Then Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep silent, my sister, he is your brother; do not take this matter to heart.” So Tamar remained and was desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.

²² Og Absalon talte ikke til Amnon, hverken ondt eller godt; thi Absalon hadede Amnon, fordi han havde krænket hans Søster Tamar.

²² But Absalom did not speak to Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.

²⁴ Absalon kom til Kongen og sagde: "Se, din Træl holder Fåreklipning; vil ikke Kongen og hans Folk tage med din Træl derhen?"

²⁴ Absalom came to the king and said, “Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”

²⁶ Da sagde Absalon: "Så lad i alt Fald min Broder Amnon gå med!" Men Kongen sagde til ham: "Hvorfor skal han med?"

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?”

²⁸ Men Absalon gav sine Folk den Befaling: "Pas på, når Vinen er gået Amnon til Hovedet; når jeg så siger til eder: Hug Amnon ned! dræb ham så! Frygt ikke; det er mig, som befaler jer det. Tag Mod til jer og vis jer som kække Mænd!"

²⁸ Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “See now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then put him to death. Do not fear; have not I myself commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant.”

³⁰ Medens de endnu var undervejs, nåede det Rygte David: "Absalon har hugget alle Kongesønnerne ned, ikke en eneste er tilbage af dem!"

³⁰ Now it was while they were on the way that the report came to David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons, and not one of them is left.”

³² Men Jonadab Davids Broder Sjim'as Søn, tog til Orde og sagde: "Min Herre må ikke tro, at de har dræbt alle de unge Kongesønner; kun Amnon er død, thi der har været noget ved Absalons Mund, som ikke varslede godt, lige siden den Dag Amnon krænkede hans Søster Tamar.

³² Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responded, “Do not let my lord suppose they have put to death all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon alone is dead; because by the intent of Absalom this has been determined since the day that he violated his sister Tamar.

³⁴ Da den unge Mand, som holdt Udkig, så ud, fik han Øje på en Mængde Mennesker, som kom ned ad Skråningen på Vejen til Horonajim, og han gik ind og meldte Kongen: "Jeg kan se, der kommer Mennesker ned ad Bjergsiden på Vejen til Horonajim."

³⁴ Now Absalom had fled. And the young man who was the watchman raised his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain.

³⁶ Og som han havde sagt det, kom Kongesønnerne, og de brast i Gråd; også Kongen og alle hans folk brast i heftig Gråd.

³⁶ As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came and lifted their voices and wept; and also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.

³⁸ Da Absalon flygtede, begav han sig til Gesjur, og der blev han tre År.

³⁸ So Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, and was there three years.
