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。
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 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。
3Now Amnon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man:
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；
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 。」
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。』」
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。」
7Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.
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。」
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，
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。
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 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，
11And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.
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。」
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；
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。」
14But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.
14但 暗嫩 不肯聽她的話，因比她力大，就玷辱她，與她同寢。
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！」
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，
17But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.
17就叫伺候自己的僕人來，說：「將這個女子趕出去！她一出去，你就關門，上閂。」
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。
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。
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。
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大衛 王聽見這事，就甚發怒。
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。
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。
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。」
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。
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押沙龍 說：「王若不去，求王許我哥哥 暗嫩 同去。」王說：「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押沙龍 再三求王，王就許 暗嫩 和王的眾子與他同去。
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！」
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。
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。」
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王就起來，撕裂衣服，躺在地上。王的臣僕也都撕裂衣服，站在旁邊。
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。
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。」
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。
35And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.
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。」
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。
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。
38And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years.
38押沙龍 逃到 基述 ，在那裏住了三年。
39And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Amnon.
39暗嫩 死了以後， 大衛 王得了安慰，心裏切切想念 押沙龍 。
