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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.`

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.

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.`

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.

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.`

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

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.`

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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

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

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

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.

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.`

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

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

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!

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.`

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.

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,

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

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;`

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.`

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.

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.

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?

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?`

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

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

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!

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.`

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

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.

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

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;`

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

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

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.

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;

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

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.`

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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