LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εγενηθη μετα ταυτα και τω αβεσσαλωμ υιω δαυιδ αδελφη καλη τω ειδει σφοδρα και ονομα αυτη θημαρ και ηγαπησεν αυτην αμνων υιος δαυιδ	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.
2 και εθλιβετο αμνων ωστε αρρωστειν δια θημαρ την αδελφην αυτου οτι παρθενος ην αυτη και υπερογκον εν οφθαλμοις αμνων του ποιησαι τι αυτη	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.
3 και ην τω αμνων εταιρος και ονομα αυτω ιωναδαβ υιος σαμαα του αδελφου δαυιδ και ιωναδαβ ανηρ σοφος σφοδρα	3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, the brother of David: a very prudent man.
4 και ειπεν αυτω τι σοι οτι συ ουτως ασθενης υιε του βασιλεως το πρωι πρωι ουκ απαγγελεις μοι και ειπεν αυτω αμνων θημαρ την αδελφην αβεσσαλωμ του αδελφου μου εγω αγαπω	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.”
5 και ειπεν αυτω ιωναδαβ κοιμηθητι επι της κοιτης σου και μαλακισθητι και εισελευσεται ο πατηρ σου του ιδειν σε και ερεις προς αυτον ελθετω δη θημαρ η αδελφη μου και ψωμισατω με και ποιησατω κατ' οφθαλμους μου βρωμα οπως ιδω και φαγω εκ των χειρων αυτης	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.’ ”
6 και εκοιμηθη αμνων και ηρρωστησεν και εισηλθεν ο βασιλευς ιδειν αυτον και ειπεν αμνων προς τον βασιλεα ελθετω δη θημαρ η αδελφη μου προς με και κολλυρισατω εν οφθαλμοις μου δυο κολλυριδας και φαγομαι 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.”
7 και απεστειλεν δαυιδ προς θημαρ εις τον οικον λεγων πορευθητι δη εις τον οικον αμνων του αδελφου σου και ποιησον αυτω βρωμα	7 Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, “Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him.”
8 και επορευθη θημαρ εις τον οικον αμνων αδελφου αυτης και αυτος κοιμωμενος και ελαβεν το σταις και εφυρασεν και εκολλυρισεν κατ' οφθαλμους αυτου και ηψησεν τας κολλυριδας	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.
9 και ελαβεν το τηγανον και κατεκενωσεν ενωπιον αυτου και ουκ ηθελησεν φαγειν και ειπεν αμνων εξαγαγετε παντα ανδρα επανωθεν μου και εξηγαγον παντα ανδρα απο επανωθεν αυτου	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,
10 και ειπεν αμνων προς θημαρ εισενεγκε το βρωμα εις το ταμιειον και φαγομαι εκ της χειρος σου και ελαβεν θημαρ τας κολλυριδας ας εποιησεν και εισηνεγκεν τω αμνων αδελφω αυτης εις τον κοιτωνα	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.
11 και προσηγαγεν αυτω του φαγειν και επελαβετο αυτης και ειπεν αυτη δευρο κοιμηθητι μετ' εμου αδελφη μου	11 And when she had presented the food to him, he took hold of her, and he said, “Come lie with me, my sister.”
12 και ειπεν αυτω μη αδελφε μου μη ταπεινωσης με διοτι ου ποιηθησεται ουτως εν ισραηλ μη ποιησης την αφροσυνην ταυτην	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.
13 και εγω που αποισω το ονειδος μου και συ εση ως εις των αφρονων εν ισραηλ και νυν λαλησον δη προς τον βασιλεα οτι ου μη κωλυση με απο σου	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.”
14 και ουκ ηθελησεν αμνων του ακουσαι της φωνης αυτης και εκραταιωσεν υπερ αυτην και εταπεινωσεν αυτην και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης	14 But he was not willing to agree to her petition. Instead, prevailing by strength, he forced her, and he lay with her.
15 και εμισησεν αυτην αμνων μισος μεγα σφοδρα οτι μεγα το μισος ο εμισησεν αυτην υπερ την αγαπην ην ηγαπησεν αυτην και ειπεν αυτη αμνων αναστηθι και πορευου	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.”
16 και ειπεν αυτω θημαρ μη αδελφε οτι μεγαλη η κακια η εσχατη υπερ την πρωτην ην εποιησας μετ' εμου του εξαποστειλαι με και ουκ ηθελησεν αμνων ακουσαι της φωνης αυτης	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.
17 και εκαλεσεν το παιδαριον αυτου τον προεστηκοτα του οικου αυτου και ειπεν αυτω εξαποστειλατε δη ταυτην απ' εμου εξω και αποκλεισον την θυραν οπισω 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.”
18 και επ' αυτης ην χιτων καρπωτος οτι ουτως ενεδιδυσκοντο αι θυγατερες του βασιλεως αι παρθενοι τους επενδυτας αυτων και εξηγαγεν αυτην ο λειτουργος αυτου εξω και απεκλεισεν την θυραν οπισω 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.
19 και ελαβεν θημαρ σποδον και επεθηκεν επι την κεφαλην αυτης και τον χιτωνα τον καρπωτον τον επ' αυτης διερρηξεν και επεθηκεν τας χειρας αυτης επι την κεφαλην αυτης και επορευθη πορευομενη και κραζουσα	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.
20 και ειπεν προς αυτην αβεσσαλωμ ο αδελφος αυτης μη αμνων ο αδελφος σου εγενετο μετα σου και νυν αδελφη μου κωφευσον οτι αδελφος σου εστιν μη θης την καρδιαν σου του λαλησαι εις το ρημα τουτο και εκαθισεν θημαρ χηρευουσα εν οικω αβεσσαλωμ του αδελφου αυτης	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.
21 και ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ παντας τους λογους τουτους και εθυμωθη σφοδρα και ουκ ελυπησεν το πνευμα αμνων του υιου αυτου οτι ηγαπα αυτον οτι πρωτοτοκος αυτου ην	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.
22 και ουκ ελαλησεν αβεσσαλωμ μετα αμνων απο πονηρου εως αγαθου οτι εμισει αβεσσαλωμ τον αμνων επι λογου ου εταπεινωσεν θημαρ την αδελφην αυτου	22 Yet Absalom did not speak to Amnon, neither good nor evil. For Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.
23 και εγενετο εις διετηριδα ημερων και ησαν κειροντες τω αβεσσαλωμ εν βελασωρ τη εχομενα εφραιμ και εκαλεσεν αβεσσαλωμ παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως	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.
24 και ηλθεν αβεσσαλωμ προς τον βασιλεα και ειπεν ιδου δη κειρουσιν τω δουλω σου πορευθητω δη ο βασιλευς και οι παιδες αυτου μετα του δουλου σου	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.”
25 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς αβεσσαλωμ μη δη υιε μου μη πορευθωμεν παντες ημεις και ου μη καταβαρυνθωμεν επι σε και εβιασατο αυτον και ουκ ηθελησεν του πορευθηναι και ευλογησεν αυτον	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.
26 και ειπεν αβεσσαλωμ και ει μη πορευθητω δη μεθ' ημων αμνων ο αδελφος μου και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς ινα τι πορευθη μετα σου	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.”
27 και εβιασατο αυτον αβεσσαλωμ και απεστειλεν μετ' αυτου τον αμνων και παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως και εποιησεν αβεσσαλωμ ποτον κατα τον ποτον του βασιλεως	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.
28 και ενετειλατο αβεσσαλωμ τοις παιδαριοις αυτου λεγων ιδετε ως αν αγαθυνθη η καρδια αμνων εν τω οινω και ειπω προς υμας παταξατε τον αμνων και θανατωσατε αυτον μη φοβηθητε οτι ουχι εγω ειμι εντελλομαι υμιν ανδριζεσθε και γινεσθε εις υιους δυναμεως	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.”
29 και εποιησαν τα παιδαρια αβεσσαλωμ τω αμνων καθα ενετειλατο αυτοις αβεσσαλωμ και ανεστησαν παντες οι υιοι του βασιλεως και επεκαθισαν ανηρ επι την ημιονον αυτου και εφυγαν	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.
30 και εγενετο αυτων οντων εν τη οδω και η ακοη ηλθεν προς δαυιδ λεγων επαταξεν αβεσσαλωμ παντας τους υιους του βασιλεως και ου κατελειφθη εξ αυτων ουδε εις	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.”
31 και ανεστη ο βασιλευς και διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου και εκοιμηθη επι την γην και παντες οι παιδες αυτου οι περιεστωτες αυτω διερρηξαν τα ιματια αυτων	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.
32 και απεκριθη ιωναδαβ υιος σαμαα αδελφου δαυιδ και ειπεν μη ειπατω ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς οτι παντα τα παιδαρια τους υιους του βασιλεως εθανατωσεν οτι αμνων μονωτατος απεθανεν οτι επι στοματος αβεσσαλωμ ην κειμενος απο της ημερας ης εταπεινωσεν θημαρ την αδελφην αυτου	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.
33 και νυν μη θεσθω ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς επι την καρδιαν αυτου ρημα λεγων παντες οι υιοι του βασιλεως απεθαναν οτι αλλ' η αμνων μονωτατος απεθανεν	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.”
34 και απεδρα αβεσσαλωμ και ηρεν το παιδαριον ο σκοπος τους οφθαλμους αυτου και ειδεν και ιδου λαος πολυς πορευομενος εν τη οδω οπισθεν αυτου εκ πλευρας του ορους εν τη καταβασει και παρεγενετο ο σκοπος και απηγγειλεν τω βασιλει και ειπεν ανδρας εωρακα εκ της οδου της ωρωνην εκ μερους του ορους	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.
35 και ειπεν ιωναδαβ προς τον βασιλεα ιδου οι υιοι του βασιλεως παρεισιν κατα τον λογον του δουλου σου ουτως εγενετο	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.”
36 και εγενετο ηνικα συνετελεσεν λαλων και ιδου οι υιοι του βασιλεως ηλθαν και επηραν την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν και γε ο βασιλευς και παντες οι παιδες αυτου εκλαυσαν κλαυθμον μεγαν σφοδρα	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.
37 και αβεσσαλωμ εφυγεν και επορευθη προς θολμαι υιον εμιουδ βασιλεα γεδσουρ εις γην μαχαδ και επενθησεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ επι τον υιον αυτου πασας τας ημερας	37 But Absalom, fleeing, went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. Then David mourned for his son every day.
38 και αβεσσαλωμ απεδρα και επορευθη εις γεδσουρ και ην εκει ετη τρια	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.
39 και εκοπασεν το πνευμα του βασιλεως του εξελθειν οπισω αβεσσαλωμ οτι παρεκληθη επι αμνων οτι απεθανεν
