1And it came to pass after this, that Amnon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar.
1大卫 的儿子 押沙龙 有一个美貌的妹子,名叫 她玛 。 大卫 的儿子 暗嫩 爱她。
2And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her.
2暗嫩 为他妹子 她玛 忧急成病。 她玛 还是处女, 暗嫩 以为难向她行事。
3Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:
3暗嫩 有一个朋友,名叫 约拿达 ,是 大卫 长兄 示米亚 的儿子。这 约拿达 为人极其狡猾;
4And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.
4他问 暗嫩 说:「王的儿子啊,为何一天比一天瘦弱呢?请你告诉我。」 暗嫩 回答说:「我爱我兄弟 押沙龙 的妹子 她玛 。」
5And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.
5约拿达 说:「你不如躺在床上装病;你父亲来看你,就对他说:『求父叫我妹子 她玛 来,在我眼前预备食物,递给我吃,使我看见,好从她手里接过来吃。』」
6So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.
6于是 暗嫩 躺卧装病。王来看他,他对王说:「求父叫我妹子 她玛 来,在我眼前为我做两个饼,我好从她手里接过来吃。」
7Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
7大卫 就打发人到宫里,对 她玛 说:「你往你哥哥 暗嫩 的屋里去,为他预备食物。」
8And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.
8她玛 就到她哥哥 暗嫩 的屋里; 暗嫩 正躺卧。 她玛 抟面,在他眼前做饼,且烤熟了,
9And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,
9在他面前将饼从锅里倒出来,他却不肯吃,便说:「众人离开我出去吧!」众人就都离开他,出去了。
10Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.
10暗嫩 对 她玛 说:「你把食物拿进卧房,我好从你手里接过来吃。」 她玛 就把所做的饼拿进卧房,到她哥哥 暗嫩 那里,
11And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
11拿着饼上前给他吃,他便拉住 她玛 ,说:「我妹妹,你来与我同寝。」
12She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.
12她玛 说:「我哥哥,不要玷辱我。 以色列 人中不当这样行,你不要做这丑事;
13For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.
13你 玷辱了我 ,我何以掩盖我的羞耻呢?你在 以色列 中也成了愚妄人。你可以求王,他必不禁止我归你。」
14But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
14但 暗嫩 不肯听她的话,因比她力大,就玷辱她,与她同寝。
15Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.
15随后, 暗嫩 极其恨她,那恨她的心比先前爱她的心更甚,对她说:「你起来,去吧!」
16She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:
16她玛 说:「不要这样!你赶出我去的这罪比你才行的更重!」但 暗嫩 不肯听她的话,
17But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.
17就叫伺候自己的仆人来,说:「将这个女子赶出去!她一出去,你就关门,上闩。」
18And she was clothed with along robe: for the king’s daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.
18那时 她玛 穿着彩衣,因为没有出嫁的公主都是这样穿。 暗嫩 的仆人就把她赶出去,关门上闩。
19And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.
19她玛 把灰尘撒在头上,撕裂所穿的彩衣,以手抱头,一面行走,一面哭喊。
20And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.
20她胞兄 押沙龙 问她说:「莫非你哥哥 暗嫩 与你亲近了吗?我妹妹,暂且不要作声,他是你的哥哥,不要将这事放在心上。」 她玛 就孤孤单单地住在她胞兄 押沙龙 家里。
21And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.
21大卫 王听见这事,就甚发怒。
22But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.
22押沙龙 并不和他哥哥 暗嫩 说好说歹;因为 暗嫩 玷辱他妹妹 她玛 ,所以 押沙龙 恨恶他。
23And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons:
23过了二年,在靠近 以法莲 的 巴力·夏琐 有人为 押沙龙 剪羊毛; 押沙龙 请王的众子与他同去。
24And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant’s sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.
24押沙龙 来见王,说:「现在有人为仆人剪羊毛,请王和王的臣仆与仆人同去。」
25And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.
25王对 押沙龙 说:「我儿,我们不必都去,恐怕使你耗费太多。」 押沙龙 再三请王,王仍是不肯去,只为他祝福。
26And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.
26押沙龙 说:「王若不去,求王许我哥哥 暗嫩 同去。」王说:「何必要他去呢?」
27But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.
27押沙龙 再三求王,王就许 暗嫩 和王的众子与他同去。
28And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.
28押沙龙 吩咐仆人说:「你们注意,看 暗嫩 饮酒畅快的时候,我对你们说杀 暗嫩 ,你们便杀他,不要惧怕。这不是我吩咐你们的吗?你们只管壮胆奋勇!」
29And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king’s sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.
29押沙龙 的仆人就照 押沙龙 所吩咐的,向 暗嫩 行了。王的众子都起来,各人骑上骡子,逃跑了。
30And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
30他们还在路上,有风声传到 大卫 那里,说:「 押沙龙 将王的众子都杀了,没有留下一个。」
31Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.
31王就起来,撕裂衣服,躺在地上。王的臣仆也都撕裂衣服,站在旁边。
32But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David’s brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king’s sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.
32大卫 的长兄, 示米亚 的儿子 约拿达 说:「我主,不要以为王的众子—少年人都杀了,只有 暗嫩 一个人死了。自从 暗嫩 玷辱 押沙龙 妹子 她玛 的那日, 押沙龙 就定意杀 暗嫩 了。
33Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king’s sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.
33现在,我主我王,不要把这事放在心上,以为王的众子都死了,只有 暗嫩 一个人死了。」
34But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.
34押沙龙 逃跑了。 守望的少年人举目观看,见有许多人从山坡的路上来。
35And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
35约拿达 对王说:「看哪,王的众子都来了,果然与你仆人所说的相合。」
36And when he made an end of speaking, the king’s sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.
36话才说完,王的众子都到了,放声大哭;王和臣仆也都哭得甚恸。
37But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day.
37押沙龙 逃到 基述 王 亚米忽 的儿子 达买 那里去了。 大卫 天天为他儿子悲哀。
38And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.
38押沙龙 逃到 基述 ,在那里住了三年。
39And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
39暗嫩 死了以后, 大卫 王得了安慰,心里切切想念 押沙龙 。
