2 Samuel 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now after these things, it happened that Amnon, the son of David, was in love with the very beautiful sister of Absalom, the son of David, and she was called Tamar.	1 Μετα δε ταυτα Αβεσσαλωμ ο υιος του Δαβιδ ειχεν αδελφην ωραιαν, ονοματι Θαμαρ, και ηγαπησεν αυτην Αμνων ο υιος του Δαβιδ.
2 And he pined for her exceedingly, so much so that, out of love for her, he became ill. For, since she was a virgin, it seemed a difficulty to him that he would do anything dishonest with her.	2 Και επασχε τοσον ο Αμνων, ωστε ηρρωστησε δια την αδελφην αυτου Θαμαρ? διοτι ητο παρθενος, και εφαινετο εις τον Αμνων δυσκολωτατον να πραξη τι εις αυτην.
3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent man.	3 ειχε δε ο Αμνων φιλον, ονομαζομενον Ιωναδαβ, υιον του Σαμαα, αδελφου του Δαβιδ? ητο δε ο Ιωναδαβ ανθρωπος πανουργος σφοδρα.
4 And he said to him: “Why are you becoming so thin from day to day, O son of the king? Why won’t you tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”	4 Και ειπε προς αυτον, Δια τι συ, υιε του βασιλεως, αδυνατεις τοσον απο ημερας εις ημεραν; δεν θελεις φανερωσει τουτο προς εμε; Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Αμνων, Αγαπω Θαμαρ, την αδελφην Αβεσσαλωμ του αδελφου μου.
5 And Jonadab said to him: “Lie down upon your bed, and feign sickness. And when your father will come to visit you, say to him: ‘I ask you to let my sister Tamar come to me, so that she may give me food, and may make a small meal, so that I may eat it from her hand.’ ”	5 Και ο Ιωναδαβ ειπε προς αυτον, Πλαγιασον επι της κλινης σου και προσποιηθητι τον αρρωστον? και οταν ο πατηρ σου ελθη να σε ιδη, ειπε προς αυτον, Ας ελθη, παρακαλω, Θαμαρ η αδελφη μου, και ας μοι δωση να φαγω, και ας ετοιμαση εμπροσθεν μου το φαγητον, δια να ιδω και να φαγω εκ της χειρος αυτης.
6 And so, Amnon lay down, and he began to act as if he were ill. And when the king had come to visit him, Amnon said to the king, “I beg you to let my sister Tamar come to me, and make in my sight two little portions of food, so that I take it from her hand.”	6 Και επλαγιασεν ο Αμνων και προσεποιηθη τον αρρωστον? και οτε ηλθεν ο βασιλευς να ιδη αυτον, ειπεν ο Αμνων προς τον βασιλεα, Ας ελθη, παρακαλω, Θαμαρ η αδελφη μου, και ας καμη εμπροσθεν μου δυο κολλυρια, δια να φαγω εκ της χειρος αυτης.
7 Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him.”	7 Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ εις τον οικον προς την Θαμαρ, λεγων, Υπαγε τωρα εις τον οικον του αδελφου σου Αμνων, και ετοιμασον εις αυτον φαγητον.
8 And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.	8 Και υπηγεν η Θαμαρ εις τον οικον του αδελφου αυτης Αμνων, οστις ητο πλαγιασμενος? και ελαβε το αλευρον και εζυμωσε και εκαμε κολλυρια εμπροσθεν αυτου και εψησε τα κολλυρια.
9 And taking what she had cooked, she poured it out, and she set it before him. But he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Send everyone away from me.” And when they had sent everyone away,	9 Επειτα ελαβε το τηγανιον και εκενωσεν αυτα εμπροσθεν αυτου? πλην δεν ηθελησε να φαγη. Και ειπεν ο Αμνων, Εκβαλετε παντα ανθρωπον απ' εμπροσθεν μου. Και εξηλθον απ' αυτου παντες.
10 Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat from your hand.” Therefore, Tamar took the little portions of food that she had made, and she brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.	10 Και ειπεν ο Αμνων προς την Θαμαρ, Φερε το φαγητον εις τον κοιτωνα, δια να φαγω εκ της χειρος σου. Και η Θαμαρ ελαβε τα κολλυρια, τα οποια εκαμε, και εφερεν εις τον κοιτωνα προς Αμνων τον αδελφον αυτης.
11 And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “Come lie with me, my sister.”	11 Και οτε προσεφερε προς αυτον δια να φαγη, επιασεν αυτην και ειπε προς αυτην, Ελθε, κοιμηθητι μετ' εμου, αδελφη μου.
12 She answered him: “Do not do so, my brother! Do not force me. For no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not choose to do this senseless act.	12 Η δε ειπε προς αυτον, Μη, αδελφε μου, μη με ταπεινωσης? διοτι δεν πρεπει τοιουτον πραγμα να γεινη εν τω Ισραηλ? μη καμης την αφροσυνην ταυτην?
13 For I will not be able to bear my shame. And you will be like one of the foolish in Israel. For it is better to speak to the king, and he will not deny me to you.”	13 και εγω πως θελω απαλειψει το ονειδος μου; αλλα και συ θελεις εισθαι ως εις εκ των αφρονων εν τω Ισραηλ? τωρα λοιπον, παρακαλω, λαλησον προς τον βασιλεα? διοτι δεν θελει με αρνηθη εις σε.
14 But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.	14 Δεν ηθελησεν ομως να εισακουση της φωνης αυτης? αλλ' υπερισχυσας εκεινης, εβιασεν αυτην και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης.
15 And Amnon held hatred for her with an exceedingly great hatred, so much so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Amnon said to her, “Rise up, and go away.”	15 Τοτε ο Αμνων εμισησεν αυτην μισος μεγα σφοδρα? ωστε το μισος, με το οποιον εμισησεν αυτην, ητο μεγαλητερον παρα την αγαπην, με την οποιαν ηγαπησεν αυτην. Και ειπε προς αυτην ο Αμνων, Σηκωθητι, υπαγε.
16 And she answered him, “This evil is greater, which you are now doing against me in driving me away, than what you did before.” But he was not willing to listen to her.	16 Η δε ειπε προς αυτον, Δεν ειναι αιτια? το κακον τουτο, το να μη αποβαλης, ειναι μεγαλητερον του αλλου, το οποιον επραξας εις εμε. Δεν ηθελησεν ομως να εισακουση αυτης.
17 Instead, calling the servants who were ministering to him, he said, “Cast this woman out from me, and close the door behind her.”	17 Και εκραξε τον νεον αυτου τον υπηρετουντα αυτον και ειπεν, Εκβαλε τωρα ταυτην απ' εμου εξω, και μοχλωσον την θυραν κατοπιν αυτης.
18 Now she was clothed with an ankle-length robe. For the virgin daughters of the king made use of this kind of garment. And so, his servant cast her out, and he closed the door behind her.	18 Ητο δε ενδεδυμενη χιτωνα ποικιλοχρουν? διοτι αι θυγατερες του βασιλεως, αι παρθενοι, τοιαυτα επενδυματα ενεδυοντο. Και εξεβαλεν αυτην εξω ο υπηρετης αυτου και εμοχλωσε την θυραν κατοπιν αυτης.
19 And she sprinkled ashes upon her head, and she tore her ankle-length robe. And placing her hands upon her head, she went forth, walking and crying out.	19 Λαβουσα δε η Θαμαρ στακτην επι της κεφαλης αυτης, και διασχισασα τον εφ' αυτης χιτωνα τον ποικιλοχρουν, και βαλουσα τας χειρας αυτης επι της κεφαλης αυτης, απηρχετο, πορευομενη και κραζουσα.
20 Then her brother Absalom said to her: “Has your brother Amnon lain with you? But now, sister, be quiet. For he is your brother. And you should not afflict your heart because of this matter.” And so, Tamar remained, wasting away in the house of her brother Absalom.	20 Και ειπε προς αυτην Αβεσσαλωμ ο αδελφος αυτης, Μηπως Αμνων ο αδελφος σου ευρεθη μετα σου; πλην τωρα σιωπησον, αδελφη μου? αδελφος σου ειναι μη καταθλιβε την καρδιαν σου δια το πραγμα τουτο. Η Θαμαρ λοιπον εκαθητο χηρευουσα εν τω οικω του αδελφου αυτης Αβεσσαλωμ.
21 And when king David had heard about these things, he was deeply grieved. But he was not willing to afflict the spirit of his son Amnon. For he loved him, since he was his firstborn.	21 Ακουσας δε ο βασιλευς Δαβιδ παντα ταυτα τα πραγματα, εθυμωθη σφοδρα.
22 Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.	22 Ο δε Αβεσσαλωμ δεν ελαλησε μετα του Αμνων ουτε καλον ουτε κακον? διοτι εμισει ο Αβεσσαλωμ τον Αμνων, επειδη εταπεινωσε την αδελφην αυτου Θαμαρ.
23 Then, after the time of two years, it happened that the sheep of Absalom were being shorn in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.	23 Και μετα δυο ολοκληρα ετη, ο Αβεσσαλωμ ειχε κουρευτας εν Βααλ-ασωρ, ητις ειναι πλησιον του Εφραιμ, και προσεκαλεσεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως.
24 And he went to the king, and he said to him: “Behold, the sheep of your servant are being shorn. I ask that the king, with his servants, may come to his servant.”	24 Και ηλθεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ προς τον βασιλεα και ειπεν, Ιδου, τωρα, ο δουλος σου εχει κουρευτας? ας ελθη, παρακαλω, ο βασιλευς και οι δουλοι αυτου μετα του δουλου σου.
25 And the king said to Absalom: “Do not, my son, do not choose to ask that we may all come and be a burden to you.” Then, after he urged him, and he had refused to go, he blessed him.	25 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς τον Αβεσσαλωμ, Ουχι, υιε μου, ας μη ελθωμεν τωρα παντες, δια να μη ημεθα βαρος εις σε. Και εβιασεν αυτον, πλην δεν ηθελησε να υπαγη, αλλ' ευλογησεν αυτον.
26 And Absalom said, “If you are not willing to come, I beg you, at least let my brother Amnon come with us.” And the king said to him, “It is not necessary that he go with you.”	26 Τοτε ειπεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ, Αν οχι, ας ελθη καν μεθ' ημων Αμνων, ο αδελφος μου. Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς αυτον, Δια τι να ελθη μετα σου;
27 But Absalom pressed him, and so he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king. And Absalom made a feast, like the feast of a king.	27 πλην ο Αβεσσαλωμ εβιασεν αυτον, ωστε απεστειλε μετ' αυτου τον Αμνων και παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως.
28 Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying: “Observe when Amnon will have become drunk with wine. And when I say to you, ‘Strike and kill him!’ do not be afraid. For it is I who commands you. Be strong and valiant men.”	28 Τοτε προσεταξεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ τους υπηρετας αυτου λεγων. Ιδετε τωρα οταν ευφρανθη η καρδια του Αμνων εκ του οινου, και ειπω προς εσας, Παταξατε τον Αμνων, τοτε θανατωσατε αυτον? μη φοβεισθε? δεν ειμαι εγω οστις σας προσταζω; ανδριζεσθε και γινεσθε υιοι δυναμεως.
29 Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon his mule and fled.	29 Και εκαμον οι υπηρεται του Αβεσσαλωμ προς τον Αμνων, ως προσεταξεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ. Τοτε σηκωθεντες παντες οι υιοι του βασιλεως, εκαθησαν εκαστος επι της ημιονου αυτου και εφυγον.
30 And while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”	30 Ενω δε ουτοι ησαν καθ' οδον, η φημη εφθασε προς τον Δαβιδ, λεγουσα, Ο Αβεσσαλωμ επαταξε παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως, και δεν εναπελειφθη εξ αυτων ουδε εις.
31 And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near him, tore their garments.	31 Τοτε σηκωθεις ο βασιλευς διεσχισε τα ιματια αυτου και επλαγιασε κατα γης? και παντες οι δουλοι αυτου οι περιεστωτες διεσχισαν τα ιματια αυτων.
32 But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.	32 Και απεκριθη Ιωναδαβ, ο υιος του Σαμαα, αδελφου του Δαβιδ, και ειπεν, Ας μη λεγη ο κυριος μου οτι εθανατωθησαν παντες οι νεοι, οι υιοι του βασιλεως? διοτι ο Αμνων μονος απεθανεν? επειδη ο Αβεσσαλωμ ειχεν αποφασισει τουτο, αφ' ης ημερας εταπεινωσε Θαμαρ την αδελφην αυτου?
33 Now therefore, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ For only Amnon is dead.”	33 τωρα λοιπον ας μη βαλη ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς το πραγμα εν τη καρδια αυτου, λεγων οτι παντες οι υιοι του βασιλεως απεθανον? διοτι ο Αμνων μονος απεθανεν.
34 Now Absalom fled. And the young man keeping watch, lifted up his eyes and gazed out. And behold, many people were arriving along a remote road at the side of the mountain.	34 Ο δε Αβεσσαλωμ εφυγε. Και υψωσας ο νεος, ο σκοπος, τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε, και ιδου, λαος πολυς επορευετο δια της οδου οπισθεν αυτου κατα το πλευρον του ορους.
35 And Jonadab said to the king: “Behold, the sons of the king are here. In accord with the word of your servant, so it has happened.”	35 Και ειπεν ο Ιωναδαβ προς τον βασιλεα, Ιδου, οι υιοι του βασιλεως ερχονται κατα τον λογον του δουλου σου, ουτως εγεινε.
36 And when he had ceased speaking, the sons of the king also appeared. And entering, they lifted up their voice, and they wept. And the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceedingly great weeping.	36 Και ως ετελειωσε λαλων, ιδου, οι υιοι του βασιλεως ηλθον και υψωσαν την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν? και ο βασιλευς ετι, και παντες οι δουλοι αυτου εκλαυσαν κλαυθμον μεγαν σφοδρα.
37 But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.	37 Ο δε Αβεσσαλωμ εφυγε και υπηγε προς τον Θαλμαι, υιον του Αμμιουδ, βασιλεα της Γεσσουρ? και επενθησεν ο Δαβιδ δια τον υιον αυτου πασας τας ημερας.
38 Now after he had fled and had arrived in Geshur, Absalom was in that place for three years. And king David ceased to pursue Absalom, because he had been consoled over the passing of Amnon.	38 Ο Αβεσσαλωμ λοιπον εφυγε και υπηγεν εις Γεσσουρ, και ητο εκει τρια ετη.
	39 Επεποθησε δε ο βασιλευς Δαβιδ να υπαγη προς τον Αβεσσαλωμ, διοτι ειχε παρηγορηθη δια τον θανατον του Αμνων.
