撒母耳記下 13
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1大衛 的兒子 押沙龍 有一個美貌的妹子，名叫 她瑪 。 大衛 的兒子 暗嫩 愛她。
1After this, Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2暗嫩 為他妹子 她瑪 憂急成病。 她瑪 還是處女， 暗嫩 以為難向她行事。
2Amnon was so troubled that he became sick because of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
3暗嫩 有一個朋友，名叫 約拿達 ，是 大衛 長兄 示米亞 的兒子。這 約拿達 為人極其狡猾；
3But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.
4他問 暗嫩 說：「王的兒子啊，為何一天比一天瘦弱呢？請你告訴我。」 暗嫩 回答說：「我愛我兄弟 押沙龍 的妹子 她瑪 。」
4He said to him, “Why, son of the king, are you so sad from day to day? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5約拿達 說：「你不如躺在床上裝病；你父親來看你，就對他說：『求父叫我妹子 她瑪 來，在我眼前預備食物，遞給我吃，使我看見，好從她手裏接過來吃。』」
5Jonadab said to him, “Lay down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’”
6於是 暗嫩 躺臥裝病。王來看他，他對王說：「求父叫我妹子 她瑪 來，在我眼前為我做兩個餅，我好從她手裏接過來吃。」
6So Amnon lay down and faked being sick. 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.”
7大衛 就打發人到宮裏，對 她瑪 說：「你往你哥哥 暗嫩 的屋裏去，為他預備食物。」
7Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
8她瑪 就到她哥哥 暗嫩 的屋裏； 暗嫩 正躺臥。 她瑪 摶麵，在他眼前做餅，且烤熟了，
8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
9在他面前將餅從鍋裏倒出來，他卻不肯吃，便說：「眾人離開我出去吧！」眾人就都離開他，出去了。
9She took the pan and poured them out before him, but he refused to eat. Amnon said, “Have all men leave me.” Then every man went out from him.
10暗嫩 對 她瑪 說：「你把食物拿進臥房，我好從你手裏接過來吃。」 她瑪 就把所做的餅拿進臥房，到她哥哥 暗嫩 那裏，
10Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, that I may eat from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother.
11拿着餅上前給他吃，他便拉住 她瑪 ，說：「我妹妹，你來與我同寢。」
11When she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister!”
12她瑪 說：「我哥哥，不要玷辱我。 以色列 人中不當這樣行，你不要做這醜事；
12She answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me! For no such thing ought to be done in Israel. Don’t you do this folly!
13你 玷辱了我 ，我何以掩蓋我的羞恥呢？你在 以色列 中也成了愚妄人。你可以求王，他必不禁止我歸你。」
13As for me, where would I carry my shame? And as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.”
14但 暗嫩 不肯聽她的話，因比她力大，就玷辱她，與她同寢。
14However, he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her and lay with her.
15隨後， 暗嫩 極其恨她，那恨她的心比先前愛她的心更甚，對她說：「你起來，去吧！」
15Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone!”
16她瑪 說：「不要這樣！你趕出我去的這罪比你才行的更重！」但 暗嫩 不肯聽她的話，
16She said to him, “Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
17就叫伺候自己的僕人來，說：「將這個女子趕出去！她一出去，你就關門，上閂。」
17Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, “Now put this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.”
18那時 她瑪 穿着彩衣，因為沒有出嫁的公主都是這樣穿。 暗嫩 的僕人就把她趕出去，關門上閂。
18She had a garment of various colors on her, for the king’s daughters who were virgins dressed in such robes. Then his servant brought her out and bolted the door after her.
19她瑪 把灰塵撒在頭上，撕裂所穿的彩衣，以手抱頭，一面行走，一面哭喊。
19Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
20她胞兄 押沙龍 問她說：「莫非你哥哥 暗嫩 與你親近了嗎？我妹妹，暫且不要作聲，他是你的哥哥，不要將這事放在心上。」 她瑪 就孤孤單單地住在她胞兄 押沙龍 家裏。
20Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
21大衛 王聽見這事，就甚發怒。
21But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
22押沙龍 並不和他哥哥 暗嫩 說好說歹；因為 暗嫩 玷辱他妹妹 她瑪 ，所以 押沙龍 恨惡他。
22Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23過了二年，在靠近 以法蓮 的 巴力‧夏瑣 有人為 押沙龍 剪羊毛； 押沙龍 請王的眾子與他同去。
23After two full years, Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
24押沙龍 來見王，說：「現在有人為僕人剪羊毛，請王和王的臣僕與僕人同去。」
24Absalom came to the king and said, “See now, your servant has sheep shearers. Please let the king and his servants go with your servant.”
25王對 押沙龍 說：「我兒，我們不必都去，恐怕使你耗費太多。」 押沙龍 再三請王，王仍是不肯去，只為他祝福。
25The king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let’s not all go, lest we be burdensome to you.” He pressed him; however he would not go, but blessed him.
26押沙龍 說：「王若不去，求王許我哥哥 暗嫩 同去。」王說：「何必要他去呢？」
26Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” The king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
27押沙龍 再三求王，王就許 暗嫩 和王的眾子與他同去。
27But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
28押沙龍 吩咐僕人說：「你們注意，看 暗嫩 飲酒暢快的時候，我對你們說殺 暗嫩 ，你們便殺他，不要懼怕。這不是我吩咐你們的嗎？你們只管壯膽奮勇！」
28Absalom commanded his servants, saying, “Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I commanded you? Be courageous, and be valiant!”
29押沙龍 的僕人就照 押沙龍 所吩咐的，向 暗嫩 行了。王的眾子都起來，各人騎上騾子，逃跑了。
29The servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up on his mule and fled.
30他們還在路上，有風聲傳到 大衛 那裏，說：「 押沙龍 將王的眾子都殺了，沒有留下一個。」
30While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, “Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!”
31王就起來，撕裂衣服，躺在地上。王的臣僕也都撕裂衣服，站在旁邊。
31Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32大衛 的長兄， 示米亞 的兒子 約拿達 說：「我主，不要以為王的眾子－少年人都殺了，只有 暗嫩 一個人死了。自從 暗嫩 玷辱 押沙龍 妹子 她瑪 的那日， 押沙龍 就定意殺 暗嫩 了。
32Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered, “Don’t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
33現在，我主我王，不要把這事放在心上，以為王的眾子都死了，只有 暗嫩 一個人死了。」
33Now therefore don’t let 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.”
34押沙龍 逃跑了。 守望的少年人舉目觀看，見有許多人從山坡的路上來。
34But Absalom fled. The young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming by way of the hillside behind him.
35約拿達 對王說：「看哪，王的眾子都來了，果然與你僕人所說的相合。」
35Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”
36話才說完，王的眾子都到了，放聲大哭；王和臣僕也都哭得甚慟。
36As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly.
37押沙龍 逃到 基述 王 亞米忽 的兒子 達買 那裏去了。 大衛 天天為他兒子悲哀。
37But Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38押沙龍 逃到 基述 ，在那裏住了三年。
38So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39暗嫩 死了以後， 大衛 王得了安慰，心裏切切想念 押沙龍 。
39King David longed to go out to Absalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.
