2 i Samuelit 13
Albanian Bible
13 Pastaj ndodhi që Absalomi, bir i Davidit, kishte një motër shumë të bukur që quhej Tamara; por Amnoni, bir i Davidit, u dashurua me të.
2 Amnoni u dashurua me aq pasion me motrën e tij Tamara sa ra i sëmurë, sepse ajo ishte e virgjër; dhe Amnonit i dukej e vështirë t’i bënte gjë.
3 Amnoni kishte një shok, që quhej Jonadab, bir i Shimeahut, vëllait të Davidit; Jonadabi ishte një njeri shumë dinak.
4 Ky i tha: "Pse, o bir i mbretit, vazhdon të dobësohesh çdo ditë që kalon? Nuk dëshiron të ma thuash?". Amnoni iu përgjigj: "Kam rënë në dashuri me Tamarën, motrën e vëllait tim Absalom".
5 Atëherë Jonadabi i tha: "Rri në shtrat dhe bëj sikur je i sëmurë; kur të vijë yt atë të të shikojë, thuaji: "Bëj, të lutem, që motra ime Tamara të vijë të më japë të ha dhe ta përgatisë ushqimin në praninë time, në mënyrë që unë ta shikoj dhe ta marr nga duart e saj"".
6 Kështu Amnoni ra në shtrat dhe u shti i sëmurë; kur më vonë erdhi mbreti ta shikojë, Amnoni i tha: "Lër, të lutem, që motra ime Tamara të vijë dhe të më përgatisë nja dy kuleç në praninë time; kështu do të marr ushqim nga duart e saj".
7 Atëherë Davidi dërgoi njeri në shtëpinë e Tamarës për t’i thënë: "Shko në shtëpinë e vëllait tënd Amnon dhe përgatiti diçka për të ngrënë".
8 Tamara shkoi në shtëpinë e vëllait të saj Amnon, që rrinte shtrirë në shtrat. Pastaj mori pak miell, e brumosi, përgatiti disa kuleçë para syve të tij dhe i poqi.
9 Pastaj mori një enë me bisht dhe i derdhi kuleçët para tij, por Amnoni nuk pranoi t’i hajë dhe tha: "Nxirrni jashtë që këtej tërë njerëzit". Tërë sa ishin dolën jashtë.
10 Atëherë Amnoni i tha Tamarës: "Ma ço ushqimin në dhomën time dhe do ta marr nga duart e tua". Kështu Tamara i mori kuleçët që kishte përgatitur dhe i çoj në dhomën e Amnonit, vëllait të saj.
11 Ndërsa po ia jepte për të ngrënë, ai e kapi dhe i tha: "Eja, shtrihu me mua, motra ime".
12 Ajo iu përgjigj: "Jo, vëllai im, mos më poshtëro kështu; kjo nuk bëhet në Izrael; mos kryej një poshtërsi të tillë!
13 Po unë ku ta çoj turpin tim? Kurse ti do të konsiderohesh si keqbërës në Izrael. Tani, të lutem, foli mbretit dhe ai nuk ka për të më refuzuar ndaj teje".
14 Por ai nuk deshi ta dëgjojë dhe, duke qenë më i fortë se ajo, e dhunoi dhe ra në shtrat me të.
15 Pastaj Amnoni filloi ta urrejë me një urrejtje shumë të madhe, kështu që urrejtja që ndjente për të ishte më e madhe se dashuria me të cilën e kishte dashuruar më parë. Kështu Amnoni i tha: "Çohu, shko!".
16 Por ajo iu përgjigj: "Oh, jo! Dëmi që do të më bëje duke më përzënë do të ishte më i madh se ai që më ke bërë deri tani". Por ai nuk deshi ta dëgjojë.
17 Thirri, pra, shërbëtorin që e ndihmonte dhe i tha: "Largoje këtë larg meje dhe mbylle portën prapa saj".
18 Ajo kishte veshur një tunikë me mëngë, sepse kështu visheshin vajzat e mbretit akoma të virgjëra. Kështu shërbëtori i Amnonit e nxori jashtë dhe mbylli derën prapa saj.
19 Tamara atëherë hodhi mbi kryet e saj, grisi tunikën më mëngë që kishte veshur, vuri dorën mbi kokë dhe iku duke ulëritur.
20 Absalomi, vëllai, i tha: "Ndofta vëllai yt Amnon ka qenë me ty? Tani për tani hesht, motra ime; ai është yt vëlla; mos e lësho veten për këtë". Kështu Tamara mbeti e dëshpëruar në shtëpinë e Absalomit, vëllait të saj.
21 Kur mbreti David i mësoi të gjitha këto, u zemërua shumë.
22 Por Absalomi nuk i drejtoi asnjë fjalë Amnonit, as për të mirë as për të keq, sepse e urrente Amnonin se kishte poshtëruar motrën e tij Tamara.
23 Dy vjet më vonë, kur Absalomi kishte qethësit e bagëtive në Baal-Hatsroit pranë Efraimit, ftoi të gjithë bijtë e mbretit.
24 Absalomi shkoi të takohet me mbretin dhe i tha: "Shërbëtori yt ka qethësit; të lutem të vijë edhe mbreti me gjithë shërbëtorët e tij në shtëpinë e shërbëtorit tënd!".
25 Por mbreti i tha Absalomit: "Jo, biri im, nuk po vijmë tani të gjithë, që të mos të të rëndojë". Megjithëse ai nguli këmbë, mbreti nuk desh të shkonte, por i dha bekimin e tij.
26 Atëherë Absalomi i tha: "Në rast se nuk do të vish ti, të lutem, lejo Amnonin, vëllanë tim, të vijë me ne". Mbreti iu përgjigj: "Pse duhet të vijë me ty?".
27 Por Absalomi nguli këmbë aq shumë sa që Davidi lejoi të shkojnë bashkë me të Amnonin dhe gjithë bijtë e mbretit.
28 Absalomi u kishte dhënë këtë urdhër shërbëtorëve të tij, duke thënë: Hapni sytë, kur Amnoni të jetë dehur nga vera dhe unë t’ju them: "Goditeni Amnonin!," ju vriteni dhe mos kini frikë. A nuk jam unë që ju urdhëroj? Bëhuni trima dhe tregohuni të fortë!".
29 Kështu shërbëtorët e Absalomit vepruan kundër Amnonit, ashtu si kishte urdhëruar Absalomi. Atëherë tërë bijtë e mbretit u ngritën, hipën secili mbi mushkën e vet dhe ua mbathën.
30 Ndërsa ishin akoma rrugës, Davidit i arriti ky lajm: "Absalomi ka vrarë tërë bijtë e mbretit dhe nuk ka shpëtuar asnjëri prej tyre".
31 Atëherë mbreti u ngrit, grisi rrobat e tij dhe u shtri për tokë; dhe të gjithë shërbëtorët e tij, i rrinin rrotull, me rrobat e grisura.
32 Por Jonadabi, bir i Shimeahut dhe vëlla i Davidit, tha: "Të mos mendojë zotëria im që tërë të rinjtë, bijtë e mbretit, u vranë; Amnoni është i vetmi që vdiq. Me urdhër të Absalomit kjo gjë u vendos që ditën që Amnoni poshtëroi motrën e tij Tamara.
33 Prandaj mbreti, zotëria im, të mos hidhërohet duke menduar se të gjithë bijtë e mbretit kanë vdekur; vetëm Amnoni ka vdekur,
34 dhe Absalomi ka ikur". Ndërkaq i riu që bënte roje ngriti sytë, shikoi, dhe ja, një turmë e madhe njerëzish vinte nga rruga prapa tij, nga ana e malit.
35 Jonadabi i tha mbretit: "Ja bijtë e mbretit që po vijnë! Gjendja është pikërisht ashtu siç tha shërbëtori yt".
36 Sa e mbaroi fjalën, arritën bijtë e mbretit, të cilët e ngritën zërin dhe filluan të qajnë; edhe mbreti dhe tërë shërbëtorët e tij filluan të qajnë me të madhe.
37 Absaloni kishte ikur dhe kishte shkuar te Talmai, bir i Amihudit, mbret i Geshurit. Davidi mbante zi çdo ditë për birin e tij.
38 Kështu Absalimo ia mbathi dhe shkoi në Geshur, ku qëndroi tre vjet.
39 Mbreti David dëshironte të shkonte te Absalomi, sepse ishte ngushulluar tanimë nga vdekja e Amnonit.

Amnon and Tamar
13 In the course of time, Amnon(A) son of David fell in love with Tamar,(B) the beautiful sister of Absalom(C) son of David.
2 Amnon became so obsessed with his sister Tamar that he made himself ill. She was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her.
3 Now Amnon had an adviser named Jonadab son of Shimeah,(D) David’s brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man. 4 He asked Amnon, “Why do you, the king’s son, look so haggard morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?”
Amnon said to him, “I’m in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 “Go to bed and pretend to be ill,” Jonadab said. “When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘I would like my sister Tamar to come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare the food in my sight so I may watch her and then eat it from her hand.’”
6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “I would like my sister Tamar to come and make some special bread in my sight, so I may eat from her hand.”
7 David sent word to Tamar at the palace: “Go to the house of your brother Amnon and prepare some food for him.” 8 So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made the bread in his sight and baked it. 9 Then she took the pan and served him the bread, but he refused to eat.
“Send everyone out of here,”(E) Amnon said. So everyone left him. 10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food here into my bedroom so I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the bread she had prepared and brought it to her brother Amnon in his bedroom. 11 But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed(F) her and said, “Come to bed with me, my sister.”(G)
12 “No, my brother!” she said to him. “Don’t force me! Such a thing should not be done in Israel!(H) Don’t do this wicked thing.(I) 13 What about me?(J) Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And what about you? You would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; he will not keep me from being married to you.” 14 But he refused to listen to her, and since he was stronger than she, he raped her.(K)
15 Then Amnon hated her with intense hatred. In fact, he hated her more than he had loved her. Amnon said to her, “Get up and get out!”
16 “No!” she said to him. “Sending me away would be a greater wrong than what you have already done to me.”
But he refused to listen to her. 17 He called his personal servant and said, “Get this woman out of my sight and bolt the door after her.” 18 So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her. She was wearing an ornate[a] robe,(L) for this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore. 19 Tamar put ashes(M) on her head and tore the ornate robe she was wearing. She put her hands on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went.
20 Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister; he is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart.” And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom’s house, a desolate woman.
21 When King David heard all this, he was furious.(N) 22 And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad;(O) he hated(P) Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar.
Absalom Kills Amnon
23 Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers(Q) were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king’s sons to come there. 24 Absalom went to the king and said, “Your servant has had shearers come. Will the king and his attendants please join me?”
25 “No, my son,” the king replied. “All of us should not go; we would only be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go but gave him his blessing.
26 Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon come with us.”
The king asked him, “Why should he go with you?” 27 But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Amnon and the rest of the king’s sons.
28 Absalom(R) ordered his men, “Listen! When Amnon is in high(S) spirits from drinking wine and I say to you, ‘Strike Amnon down,’ then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t I given you this order? Be strong and brave.(T)” 29 So Absalom’s men did to Amnon what Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got up, mounted their mules and fled.
30 While they were on their way, the report came to David: “Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons; not one of them is left.” 31 The king stood up, tore(U) his clothes and lay down on the ground; and all his attendants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 But Jonadab son of Shimeah, David’s brother, said, “My lord should not think that they killed all the princes; only Amnon is dead. This has been Absalom’s express intention ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar. 33 My lord the king should not be concerned about the report that all the king’s sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
34 Meanwhile, Absalom had fled.
Now the man standing watch looked up and saw many people on the road west of him, coming down the side of the hill. The watchman went and told the king, “I see men in the direction of Horonaim, on the side of the hill.”[b]
35 Jonadab said to the king, “See, the king’s sons have come; it has happened just as your servant said.”
36 As he finished speaking, the king’s sons came in, wailing loudly. The king, too, and all his attendants wept very bitterly.
37 Absalom fled and went to Talmai(V) son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But King David mourned many days for his son.
38 After Absalom fled and went to Geshur, he stayed there three years. 39 And King David longed to go to Absalom,(W) for he was consoled(X) concerning Amnon’s death.

2 Samuel 13
King James Version
13 And 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.
2 And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
4 And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
5 And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
7 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
9 And she took a 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.
10 And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
12 And 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.
13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt 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.
14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
16 And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.
17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
18 And she had a garment of divers colours 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.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
21 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
23 And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
26 Then 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?
27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
28 Now Absalom had 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.
29 And 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.
30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
31 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
32 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain 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.
33 Now 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.
34 But 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.
35 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
36 And 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.
37 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
39 And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
