2 Samuel 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Some time later the following incident occurred. David's son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar, and David's son Amnon loved her.	1 Μετα δε ταυτα Αβεσσαλωμ ο υιος του Δαβιδ ειχεν αδελφην ωραιαν, ονοματι Θαμαρ, και ηγαπησεν αυτην Αμνων ο υιος του Δαβιδ.
2 He was in such straits over his sister Tamar that he became sick; since she was a virgin, Amnon thought it impossible to carry out his designs toward 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, son of David's brother Shimeah, who was very clever.	3 ειχε δε ο Αμνων φιλον, ονομαζομενον Ιωναδαβ, υιον του Σαμαα, αδελφου του Δαβιδ? ητο δε ο Ιωναδαβ ανθρωπος πανουργος σφοδρα.
4 He asked him, "Prince, why are you so dejected morning after morning? Why not tell me?" So Amnon said to him, "I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."	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 Then Jonadab replied, "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to visit you, say to him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and encourage me to take food. If she prepares something appetizing in my presence, for me to see, I will 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 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick. When the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come and prepare some fried cakes before my eyes, that I may take nourishment 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 David then sent home a message to Tamar, "Please go to the house of your brother Amnon and prepare some nourishment 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 Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was in bed. Taking dough and kneading it, she twisted it into cakes before his eyes and fried the cakes.	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 Then she took the pan and set out the cakes before him. But Amnon would not eat; he said, "Have everyone leave me." When they had all left him,	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 nourishment into the bedroom, that I may have it from your hand." So Tamar picked up the cakes she had prepared and 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 But when she brought them to him to eat, he seized her and said to her, "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 But she answered him, "No my brother! Do not shame me! That is an intolerable crime in Israel. Do not commit this insensate deed.	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 Where would I take my shame? And you would be a discredited man in Israel. So please, speak to the king; he will not keep me from 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 Not heeding her plea, he overpowered her; he shamed her and had relations with her.	14 Δεν ηθελησεν ομως να εισακουση της φωνης αυτης? αλλ' υπερισχυσας εκεινης, εβιασεν αυτην και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης.
15 Then Amnon conceived an intense hatred for her, which far surpassed the love he had had for her. "Get up and leave," he said to her.	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 She replied, "No, brother, because to drive me out would be far worse than the first injury you have done me." He would not 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 but called the youth who was his attendant and said, "Put her outside, away from me, and bar the door after 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 had on a long tunic, for that is how maiden princesses dressed in olden days. When his attendant put her out and barred the door after 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 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the long tunic in which she was clothed. Then, putting her hands to her head, she went away crying loudly.	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 Her brother Absalom said to her: "Has your brother Amnon been with you? Be still now, my sister; he is your brother. Do not take this affair to heart." But Tamar remained grief-stricken and forlorn 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 King David, who got word of the whole affair, became very angry. He did not, however, spark the resentment of his son Amnon, whom he favored because he was his first-born.	21 Ακουσας δε ο βασιλευς Δαβιδ παντα ταυτα τα πραγματα, εθυμωθη σφοδρα.
22 Absalom, moreover, said nothing at all to Amnon, although he hated him for having shamed 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 After a period of two years, Absalom had shearers in Baalhazor near Ephraim, and he invited all the princes.	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 Absalom went to the king and said: "Your servant is having shearers. Please, your majesty, come with all your retainers to your 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 But the King said to Absalom, "No, my son, all of us should not go lest we be a burden to you." And though Absalom urged him, he refused to go and began to bid him good-bye.	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 Absalom then said, "If you will not come yourself, please let my brother Amnon come to us." The king asked him, "Why should he go to 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 At Absalom's urging, however, he sent Amnon and all the other princes with him. Absalom prepared a banquet fit for royalty.	27 πλην ο Αβεσσαλωμ εβιασεν αυτον, ωστε απεστειλε μετ' αυτου τον Αμνων και παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως.
28 But he had instructed his servants: "Now watch! When Amnon is merry with wine and I say to you, 'Kill Amnon,' put him to death. Do not be afraid, for it is I who order you to do it. Be resolute and act manfully."	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 When the servants did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded, all the other princes rose, mounted their mules, 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 While they were still on the road, a report reached David that Absalom had killed all the princes and that not one of them had survived.	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 The king stood up, rent his garments, and then lay on the ground. All his servants standing by him also rent 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, son of David's brother Shimeah, spoke up: "Let not my lord think that all the young princes have been killed! Amnon alone is dead, for Absalom was determined on this ever since Amnon shamed 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 So let not my lord the king put faith in the report that all the princes are dead. Amnon alone 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 Meanwhile, Absalom had taken flight. Then the servant on watch looked about and saw a large group coming down the slope from the direction of Bahurim. He came in and reported this, telling the king that he had seen some men coming down the mountainside from the direction of Bahurim.	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 So Jonadab said to the king: "There! The princes have come. It is as your servant said."	35 Και ειπεν ο Ιωναδαβ προς τον βασιλεα, Ιδου, οι υιοι του βασιλεως ερχονται κατα τον λογον του δουλου σου, ουτως εγεινε.
36 No sooner had he finished speaking than the princes came in, weeping aloud. The king, too, and all his servants wept very bitterly.	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, who had taken flight, went to Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur,	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 and stayed in Geshur for three years.	38 Ο Αβεσσαλωμ λοιπον εφυγε και υπηγεν εις Γεσσουρ, και ητο εκει τρια ετη.
39 The king continued during all that time to mourn over his son; but his longing reached out for Absalom as he became reconciled to the death of Amnon.	39 Επεποθησε δε ο βασιλευς Δαβιδ να υπαγη προς τον Αβεσσαλωμ, διοτι ειχε παρηγορηθη δια τον θανατον του Αμνων.
