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

¹And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved 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 was so vexed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything unto her.

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

³But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle 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 he said unto him, Why, O son of the king, art thou thus lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

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 said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it 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.

⁶So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, Let her sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may 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.

⁷Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress 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.

⁸So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake 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 she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man 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 said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

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

¹¹And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto 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 answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou 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 shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will 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.

¹⁴Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay 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!

¹⁵Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

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 said unto him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is [worse] than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.

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

¹⁷Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, 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.

¹⁸And she had a garment of divers colors upon her; for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and 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 put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.

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 said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now hold thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

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

²¹But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.

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

²²And Absalom spake unto Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

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 came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

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 came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go 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 said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed 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?

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

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

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

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

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

²⁹And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.

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

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

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

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, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

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

³³Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon only 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.

³⁴But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him.

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

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

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 came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.

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

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

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

³⁸So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was 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 longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
