¹And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David having a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the son of David loved her.

¹Potom sa stalo toto. Absalom, syn Dávidov, mal krásnu sestru, ktorej bolo meno Támar, a miloval ju Amnon, syn Dávidov.

²And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed difficult for Amnon to do the least thing to her.

²A Amnonovi bolo tak úzko, že bol až nemocný pre Támar, svoju sestru, pretože bola pannou, a Amnonovi sa videlo nemožným vykonať jej voľačo.

³And Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.

³A Amnon mal priateľa, ktorému bolo meno Jonadáb. Bol to syn Šimu, brata Dávidovho. A Jonadáb bol veľmi múdry muž.

⁴And he said to him, Why dost thou, the king's son, get thinner from morning to morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

⁴A povedal mu: Prečo ty tak chradneš, kraleviču, zo dňa na deň? Či mi nepovieš? A Amnon mu povedal: Támar, sestru Absaloma, svojho brata, milujem.

⁵And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed and feign thyself sick; and when thy father comes to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.

⁵Na to mu povedal Jonadáb: Ľahni si na svoju posteľ a urob sa chorým. A keď ťa prijde vidieť tvoj otec, povieš mu: Prosím, nech prijde Támar, moja sestra, a dá mi jesť chlieb a pripraví pokrm pred mojimi očima, aby som to videl a zjedol z jej ruky.

⁶So Amnon lay down and feigned himself sick; and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.

⁶A tak si ľahol Amnon a robil sa chorým. A keď prišiel kráľ vidieť ho, povedal Amnon kráľovi: Prosím, nech prijde Támar, moja sestra, a pripraví pred mojimi očima nejaké dva kúsky chutného jedla, aby som pojedol z jej ruky.

⁷And David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go, I pray thee, to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.

⁷Vtedy poslal Dávid posla k Támari do domu a povedal: Nože idi do domu Amnona, svojho brata, a priprav mu pokrm.

⁸And Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he had lain down. And she took flour and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

⁸A Támar odišla do domu Amnona, svojho brata, a on ležal. A ona vezmúc cesto zamiesila a pripravila pred jeho očima a uvarila kúsky toho chutného jedla.

⁹And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Put every man out from me. And they went out every man from him.

⁹Potom vzala paňvu a vyložila pred neho. Ale nechcel jesť, lež potom povedal Amnon: Spravte, aby všetci mužovia vyšli odo mňa! A tak vyšli všetci mužovia od neho.

¹⁰And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the dish into the chamber, that I may eat of thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

¹⁰Vtedy povedal Amnon Támari: Dones jedlo do ložnice, aby som jedol z tvojej ruky. A Támar vzala kúsky chutného jedla, ktoré bola pripravila, a zaniesla Amnonovi, svojmu bratovi, do ložnice.

¹¹And she presented them to him to eat; and he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

¹¹Ale keď mu podávala, aby jedol, uchopil ju a povedal jej: Poď, lež so mnou, moja sestro!

¹²And she said to him, No, my brother, do not humble me; for no such thing is done in Israel: do not this infamy.

¹²A ona mu odpovedala: Nie, môj brat, neponíž ma urobiac mi násilie, lebo sa nemá tak urobiť v Izraelovi. Nevykonaj toho bláznovstva!

¹³And I, whither shall I carry my reproach? and thou wouldest be as one of the infamous in Israel. And now, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

¹³Lebo veď kam ja potom zanesiem svoje pohanenie, a ty budeš ako jeden z bláznov-nešľachetníkov v Izraelovi. Preto teraz, prosím, radšej prehovor s kráľom, lebo neodoprie ti ma.

¹⁴But he would not hearken to her voice, and was stronger than she, and humbled her and lay with her.

¹⁴No, nechcel počuť na jej hlas, ale, keď sa bránila, bol silnejší ako ona a ponížil ju a ležal s ňou.

¹⁵And Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred, for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.

¹⁵Avšak hneď potom ju nenávidel Amnon nenávisťou, veľmi velikou, lebo väčšia bola nenávisť, ktorou ju nenávidel, než bola jeho láska, ktorou ju predtým miloval. A Amnon jej povedal: Vstaň, idi!

¹⁶And she said to him, There is no cause for this evil in sending me away, [which] is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her.

¹⁶A ona mu riekla: Pre to veľké zlo, väčšie nad iné, ktoré si vykonal pri mne, chceš ma ešte i vyhnať? Ale nechcel ju počuť.

¹⁷Then he called his young man that attended upon him, and said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.

¹⁷Lež zavolal svojho mládenca, ktorý mu posluhoval, a povedal: Nože vyveďte túto odo mňa ta von, a zamkni za ňou dvere.

¹⁸Now she had a vest of many colours upon her; for so were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. And his attendant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

¹⁸A mala na sebe dlhý pláštec rôznych farieb, lebo tak sa odievaly dcéry kráľove, kým boly pannami, plášťami. A jeho sluha ju vyviedol von a zamkol za ňou dvere závorou.

¹⁹And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her vest of many colours which was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying out as she went.

¹⁹Vtedy vzala Támar popola na svoju hlavu a pláštec rôznych farieb, ktorý mala na sebe, roztrhla a vložiac svoju ruku na svoju hlavu išla pomaly a kričala.

²⁰And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, be still: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. And Tamar remained, and [that] desolate, in her brother Absalom's house.

²⁰A Absalom, jej brat, jej povedal: Či azda Amnon, tvoj brat, bol s tebou? No, teraz, moja sestro, buď ticho. Je to tvoj brat, neber si tej veci k srdcu. A tak bývala Támar, a to opustená, v dome Absaloma, svojho brata.

²¹And king David heard of all these things, and he was very angry.

²¹A kráľ Dávid počul o tom o všetkom a veľmi sa nahneval.

²²And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had humbled his sister Tamar.

²²Ale Absalom nehovoril s Amnonom ani zlého ani dobrého, lebo Absalom nenávidel Amnona preto, že ponížil Támar, jeho sestru.

²³And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-Hazor, which is beside Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

²³A stalo sa po celých dvoch rokoch, že mal Absalom strihačov, ktorí mu strihali ovce, v Bál-chacóre, ktoré je pri Efraime. A Absalom pozval všetkých synov kráľových.

²⁴And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold, now, thy servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant.

²⁴A Absalom prišiel ku kráľovi a povedal: Hľa, prosím, tvoj služobník má strihačov, nech ide, prosím, kráľ i jeho služobníci so svojím služobníkom.

²⁵And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to thee. And he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.

²⁵A kráľ riekol Absalomovi: Nie, môj synu, nežiadaj, prosím, aby sme išli všetci, aby sme ti neboli na ťarchu. A hoci ho nútil, nechcel ísť, ale ho požehnal blahoželajúc mu.

²⁶And Absalom said, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?

²⁶Vtedy povedal Absalom: A keď už len nechceš ísť ty, nech ide, prosím, s nami Amnon, môj brat. A kráľ mu povedal: Prečo má ísť s tebou?

²⁷But Absalom pressed him; and he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

²⁷Ale keď len dobíjal Absalom do neho, poslal s ním Amnona i všetkých synov kráľových.

²⁸And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then slay him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

²⁸A Absalom rozkázal svojim sluhom a povedal: Nože hľaďte, keď sa rozveselí srdce Amnonovo od vína, a poviem vám: Uderte Amnona, vtedy ho zabijete. Nebojte sa, lebo veď či to neurobíte pre to, že som vám ja rozkázal? Buďte silní a buďte zmužilí!

²⁹And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and they rode each upon his mule and fled.

²⁹A sluhovia Absalomovi urobili Amnonovi tak, ako rozkázal Absalom. Vtedy vstali všetci synovia kráľovi a vysadnúc každý na svoju mulicu utiekli.

³⁰And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has smitten all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

³⁰A kým boli ešte na ceste, prišla zvesť k Dávidovi, že vraj Absalom pobil všetkých synov kráľových, takže nepozostal z nich ani jeden.

³¹Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their garments rent.

³¹Vtedy vstal kráľ, roztrhol svoje rúcho a padnúc ležal na zemi, a všetci jeho služobníci stál tam, s roztrhnutými rúchami.

³²And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain 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 humbled his sister Tamar.

³²Na to sa ozval Jonadáb, syn Šimu, brata Dávidovho, a povedal: Nech nehovorí môj pán, že všetkých mládencov, synov kráľových, pobili. Ale iba sám Amnon zomrel, lebo tak sa bol zariekol Absalom, a tak mal umienené od toho dňa, ktorého ponížil Támar, jeho sestru.

³³And now let not my lord the king take the thing to heart, to say, All the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.

³³A preto teraz nech si neberie môj pán kráľ ničoho takého k srdcu mysliac, že zomreli všetci synovia kráľovi, lebo len sám Amnon zomrel.

³⁴And Absalom fled. And the young man that watched lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there came much people from the way behind him, from the hill-side.

³⁴A Absalom utiekol. A keď pozdvihol mládenec strážca svoje oči, videl, že hľa, ide mnoho ľudu od cesty, ležiacej za ním, od stráne vrchu.

³⁵And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.

³⁵Vtedy povedal Jonadáb kráľovi: Hľa, synovia kráľovi idú! Ako povedal tvoj služobník, tak je.

³⁶And as soon as he had ended speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.

³⁶A stalo sa, keď dopovedal, že tu hľa, už aj prišli synovia kráľovi a pozdvihnúc svoj hlas plakali, a plakal i sám kráľ, i všetci jeho služobníci plakali plačom, veľmi velikým.

³⁷And Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.

³⁷A Absalom utiekol a odišiel k Talmajovi, synovi Ammihúdovmu, kráľovi Gešúra. A Dávid smútil za svojím synom po všetky tie dni.

³⁸Now Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

³⁸A Absalom tedy utiekol a odišiel do Gešúra a bol tam tri roky.

³⁹And king David longed to go forth to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

³⁹No, potom hynula duša kráľa Dávida túžbou vyjsť k Absalomovi, lebo sa časom potešil nad Amnonom, že zomrel.
