¹暗嫩装病奸污他玛

¹And it cometh to pass afterwards that Absalom son of David hath a fair sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loveth her.

²暗嫩为了他妹妹他玛的缘故，因爱成病。因为他玛还是处女，所以暗嫩看来很难对她采取什么行动。

²And Amnon hath distress — even to become sick, because of Tamar his sister, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.

³暗嫩有一个朋友，名叫约拿达，是大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子。约拿达是一个非常狡猾的人。

³And Amnon hath a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David`s brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man,

⁴他问暗嫩说：“王子啊！你为什么一天比一天瘦弱呢？你可以告诉我吗？”暗嫩说：“我爱上了我兄弟押沙龙的妹妹他玛。”

⁴and saith to him, `Wherefore [art] thou thus lean, O king`s son, morning by morning? dost thou not declare to me?` And Amnon saith to him, `Tamar — sister of Absalom my brother — I am loving.`

⁵约拿达对他说：“你可以躺在床上装病。你父亲来看你的时候，你就对他说：‘求你叫我的妹妹他玛来，把食物递给我吃；叫她在我眼前预备食物，好使我可以看见，也可以从她的手中取食。’”

⁵And Jonadab saith to him, `Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou hast said unto him, `Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.`

⁶于是暗嫩躺着装病。王来看他，暗嫩对王说：“求你叫我的妹妹他玛来，叫她在我眼前给我做两个饼，我可以从她的手里拿过来吃。”

⁶And Amnon lieth down, and feigneth himself sick, and the king cometh in to see him, and Amnon saith unto the king, `Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come, and she maketh before mine eyes two cakes, and I eat from her hand.`

⁷大卫就派人到宫里去对他玛说：“你到你哥哥暗嫩的屋里去，为他预备食物。”

⁷And David sendeth unto Tamar, to the house, saying, `Go, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and make for him food.`

⁸他玛就到她哥哥暗嫩的屋里去；暗嫩正躺着。他玛取了点面，把面和好，就在暗嫩面前做饼，并且把饼烤熟了。

⁸And Tamar goeth to the house of Amnon her brother, and he is lying down, and she taketh the dough, and kneadeth, and maketh cakes before his eyes, and cooketh the cakes,

⁹她拿过锅来，在他面前把饼倒出来，暗嫩却不肯吃，他说：“叫众人离开我出去！”众人就都离开他出去了。

⁹and taketh the frying-pan, and poureth out before him, and he refuseth to eat, and Amnon saith, `Take ye out every one from me;` and they go out every one from him.

¹⁰暗嫩对他玛说：“把食物带到卧房来，我好从你的手里拿过来吃。”他玛拿着她做好的饼，进了卧房，到她哥哥暗嫩那里去。

¹⁰And Amnon saith unto Tamar, `Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from thy hand;` and Tamar taketh the cakes that she hath made, and bringeth in to Amnon her brother, into the inner chamber,

¹¹他玛上到他面前，给他吃的时候，暗嫩却拉住她，对她说：“妹妹，来与我同寝吧！”

¹¹and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold on her, and saith to her, `Come, lie with me, my sister.`

¹²他玛对他说：“不要！哥哥！不要污辱我！在以色列中不可作这样的事。你不要作这丑事。

¹²And she saith to him, `Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so in Israel; do not this folly.

¹³至于我，我到哪里除去我的耻辱呢？至于你，你在以色列中也会成了一个愚妄的人。现在请你去对王说，他必不会禁止我归你的。”

¹³And I — whither do I cause my reproach to go? and thou — thou art as one of the fools in Israel; and now, speak, I pray thee, unto the king; for he doth not withhold me from thee.`

¹⁴但暗嫩不肯听她的话，他又比他玛有力，就污辱了她，与她同寝。

¹⁴And he hath not been willing to hearken to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbleth her, and lieth with her.

¹⁵事后，暗嫩非常恨她；他对他玛的恨比以前对她的爱更大，所以暗嫩对她说：“你起来！走吧！”

¹⁵And Amnon hateth her — a very great hatred — that greater [is] the hatred with which he hath hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon saith to her, `Rise, go.`

¹⁶他玛却对他说：“我的哥哥啊，不！你赶我出去的这罪比你刚才与我所行的罪更大了。”但是暗嫩不肯听她的话，

¹⁶And she saith to him, `Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that thou hast done with me — to send me away;` and he hath not been willing to hearken to her,

¹⁷就叫了侍候他的仆人来，说：“把这女人从我面前赶到外面去，然后把门锁上。”

¹⁷and calleth his young man, his servant, and saith, `Send away, I pray thee, this one from me without, and bolt the door after her;`

¹⁸那时他玛身上穿着长袖彩衣，因为未嫁的公主都是这样穿的。那侍候暗嫩的仆人把她赶到外面去，随后把门锁上。

¹⁸— and upon her [is] a long coat, for such upper robes do daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on, — and his servant taketh her out without, and hath bolted the door after her.

¹⁹他玛把尘土撒在自己的头上，撕裂身上的长袖彩衣，又把一只手放在头上，一边行走一边哭叫。

¹⁹And Tamar taketh ashes for her head, and the long coat that [is] on her she hath rent, and putteth her hand on her head, and goeth, going on and crying;

²⁰她哥哥押沙龙问她：“是不是你哥哥暗嫩与你亲近了？我妹妹啊，你现在不要作声，他是你的哥哥，你不要把这事放在心上。”于是他玛孤单凄凉地住在她哥哥押沙龙的家里。

²⁰and Absalom her brother saith unto her, `Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] thy brother; set not thy heart to this thing;` and Tamar dwelleth — but desolate — in the house of Absalom her brother.

²¹大卫王听见了这一切事，就非常生气。

²¹And king David hath heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;

²²押沙龙什么话都没有对暗嫩说。押沙龙恨暗嫩，因为暗嫩污辱了他的妹妹他玛。

²²and Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled Tamar his sister.

²³押沙龙为妹复仇杀暗嫩两年以后，在以法莲边界的巴力．夏琐，押沙龙雇了人为他剪羊毛，押沙龙邀请王所有的儿子到那里去。

²³And it cometh to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom hath shearers in Baal-Hazor, which [is] with Ephraim, and Absalom calleth for all the sons of the king.

²⁴押沙龙去见王说：“看哪！现在你的仆人雇了人剪羊毛；请王和王的臣仆与我一同去。”

²⁴And Absalom cometh unto the king, and saith, `Lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath shearers, let the king go, I pray thee, and his servants, with thy servant.`

²⁵王对押沙龙说：“不！我儿，我们不必都去，免得我们成为你的重担。”押沙龙再三勉强王去，王还是不肯去，只是为他祝福。

²⁵And the king saith unto Absalom, `Nay, my son, let us not all go, I pray thee, and we are not too heavy on thee;` and he presseth on him, and he hath not been willing to go, and he blesseth him.

²⁶押沙龙说：“王若是不去，求王让我的哥哥暗嫩与我一同去。”王问他：“为什么要他与你一同去呢？”

²⁶And Absalom saith, `If not — let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us;` and the king saith to him, `Why doth he go with thee?`

²⁷押沙龙再三求王，王就派暗嫩和王所有的儿子与他一同去。

²⁷and Absalom urgeth on him, and he sendeth with him Amnon, and all the sons of the king.

²⁸押沙龙吩咐他的仆人说：“你们注意！暗嫩酒酣耳热的时候，我对你们说：‘击杀暗嫩！’你们就把他杀死。不要惧怕，这不是我吩咐你们的吗？你们要坚强，作勇敢的人。”

²⁸And Absalom commandeth his young men, saying, `See, I pray thee, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said unto you, Smite Amnon, that ye have put him to death; fear not; is it not because I have commanded you? be strong, yea, become sons of valour.`

²⁹押沙龙的仆人就照押沙龙所吩咐的，向暗嫩行了。王所有的儿子就起来，各人骑上自己的骡子逃跑了。

²⁹And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and rise do all the sons of the king, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.

³⁰他们还在路上的时候，有消息传到大卫那里，说：“押沙龙杀了王所有的儿子，没有剩下一个。”

³⁰And it cometh to pass — they [are] in the way — and the report hath come unto David, saying, `Absalom hath smitten all the sons of the king, and there is not left of them one;`

³¹王就起来，撕裂衣服，躺在地上。侍立在他身旁的所有臣仆，也都撕裂衣服。

³¹and the king riseth, and rendeth his garments, and lieth on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] rent garments.

³²大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿达说：“我主不要以为所有的年轻人、王的儿子都被杀死了。其实死的只有暗嫩一人；自从暗嫩污辱了押沙龙的妹妹他玛那一天起，押沙龙就定意要杀死他了。

³²And Jonadab son of Shimeah, David`s brother, answereth and saith, `Let not my lord say, The whole of the young men, the sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone [is] dead, for by the command of Absalom it hath been appointed from the day of his humbling Tamar his sister;

³³现在我主我王不要把这事放在心上，以为王所有的儿子都死了。其实死的只有暗嫩一人。”

³³and now, let not my lord the king lay unto his heart the word, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [is] dead.`

³⁴押沙龙逃往基述押沙龙逃走了。守望的年轻人举目观看，看见许多人从后面山坡旁边的路而来。

³⁴And Absalom fleeth, and the young man who is watching lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, much people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.

³⁵约拿达对王说：“看哪！王的儿子都回来了。正如你仆人所说的，事情果然是这样。”

³⁵And Jonadab saith unto the king, `Lo, the sons of the king have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.`

³⁶他刚说完了，王的众子就都来到了，他们都放声大哭；王和他所有的臣仆也都号咷痛哭。

³⁶And it cometh to pass at his finishing to speak, that lo, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept — a very great weeping.

³⁷押沙龙逃亡，走到基述王亚米忽的儿子达买那里去了。大卫天天为他的儿子哀伤。

³⁷And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourneth for his son all the days.

³⁸押沙龙逃亡，逃到基述那里去，在那里住了三年。

³⁸And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there three years;

³⁹大卫的心不再怀恨押沙龙，对暗嫩的死也不再那么难过了。

³⁹and [the soul of] king David determineth to go out unto Absalom, for he hath been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
