13 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

13 1Now Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and after a time Amnon, David's son, loved her.Amnon & Tamar. 2Sm.13.1-22וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי־כֵן וּלְאַבְשָׁלֹום בֶּן־דָּוִד אָחֹות יָפָה וּשְׁמָהּ תָּמָר וַיֶּאֱהָבֶהָ אַמְנֹון בֶּן־דָּוִד׃
2And Amnon was so tormented that he made himself ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her. וַיֵּצֶר לְאַמְנֹון לְהִתְחַלֹּות בַּעֲבוּר תָּמָר אֲחֹתֹו כִּי בְתוּלָה הִיא וַיִּפָּלֵא בְּעֵינֵי אַמְנֹון לַעֲשֹׂות לָהּ מְאוּמָה׃
3But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very crafty man. וּלְאַמְנֹון רֵעַ וּשְׁמֹו יֹונָדָב בֶּן־שִׁמְעָה אֲחִי דָוִד וְיֹונָדָב אִישׁ חָכָם מְאֹד׃
4And he said to him, "O son of the king, why are you so haggard morning after morning? Will you not tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister." וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו מַדּוּעַ אַתָּה כָּכָה דַּל בֶּן־הַמֶּלֶךְ בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּקֶר הֲלֹוא תַּגִּיד לִי וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו אַמְנֹון אֶת־תָּמָר אֲחֹות אַבְשָׁלֹם אָחִי אֲנִי אֹהֵב׃
5Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be ill; and when your father comes to see you, say to him, 'Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.' " וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו יְהֹונָדָב שְׁכַב עַל־מִשְׁכָּבְךָ וְהִתְחָל וּבָא אָבִיךָ לִרְאֹותֶךָ וְאָמַרְתָּ אֵלָיו תָּבֹא נָא תָמָר אֲחֹותִי וְתַבְרֵנִי לֶחֶם וְעָשְׂתָה לְעֵינַי אֶת־הַבִּרְיָה לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר אֶרְאֶה וְאָכַלְתִּי מִיָּדָהּ׃
6So Amnon lay down, and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Pray let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand." וַיִּשְׁכַּב אַמְנֹון וַיִּתְחָל וַיָּבֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ לִרְאֹתֹו וַיֹּאמֶר אַמְנֹון אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ תָּבֹוא־נָא תָּמָר אֲחֹתִי וּתְלַבֵּב לְעֵינַי שְׁתֵּי לְבִבֹות וְאֶבְרֶה מִיָּדָהּ׃
7Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Go to your brother Amnon's house, and prepare food for him." וַיִּשְׁלַח דָּוִד אֶל־תָּמָר הַבַּיְתָה לֵאמֹר לְכִי נָא בֵּית אַמְנֹון אָחִיךְ וַעֲשִׂי־לֹו הַבִּרְיָה׃
8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, where he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes. וַתֵּלֶךְ תָּמָר בֵּית אַמְנֹון אָחִיהָ וְהוּא שֹׁכֵב וַתִּקַּח אֶת־הַבָּצֵק כ= וַתָּלֹושׁ ק= וַתָּלָשׁ וַתְּלַבֵּב לְעֵינָיו וַתְּבַשֵּׁל אֶת־הַלְּבִבֹות׃
9And she took the pan and emptied it out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, "Send out every one from me." So every one went out from him. וַתִּקַּח אֶת־הַמַּשְׂרֵת וַתִּצֹק לְפָנָיו וַיְמָאֵן לֶאֱכֹול וַיֹּאמֶר אַמְנֹון הֹוצִיאוּ כָל־אִישׁ מֵעָלַי וַיֵּצְאוּ כָל־אִישׁ מֵעָלָיו׃
10Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from your hand." And Tamar took the cakes she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. וַיֹּאמֶר אַמְנֹון אֶל־תָּמָר הָבִיאִי הַבִּרְיָה הַחֶדֶר וְאֶבְרֶה מִיָּדֵךְ וַתִּקַּח תָּמָר אֶת־הַלְּבִבֹות אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂתָה וַתָּבֵא לְאַמְנֹון אָחִיהָ הֶחָדְרָה׃
11But when she brought them near him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister." וַתַּגֵּשׁ אֵלָיו לֶאֱכֹל וַיַּחֲזֶק־בָּהּ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ בֹּואִי שִׁכְבִי עִמִּי אֲחֹותִי׃
12She answered him, "No, my brother, do not force me; for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this wanton folly. וַתֹּאמֶר לֹו אַל־אָחִי אַל־תְּעַנֵּנִי כִּי לֹא־יֵעָשֶׂה כֵן בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אַל־תַּעֲשֵׂה אֶת־הַנְּבָלָה הַזֹּאת׃
13As for me, where could I carry my shame? And as for you, you would be as one of the wanton fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you." וַאֲנִי אָנָה אֹולִיךְ אֶת־חֶרְפָּתִי וְאַתָּה תִּהְיֶה כְּאַחַד הַנְּבָלִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַתָּה דַּבֶּר־נָא אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי לֹא יִמְנָעֵנִי מִמֶּךָּ׃
14But he would not listen to her; and being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her. וְלֹא אָבָה לִשְׁמֹעַ בְּקֹולָהּ וַיֶּחֱזַק מִמֶּנָּה וַיְעַנֶּהָ וַיִּשְׁכַּב אֹתָהּ׃
15Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone." וַיִּשְׂנָאֶהָ אַמְנֹון שִׂנְאָה גְּדֹולָה מְאֹד כִּי גְדֹולָה הַשִּׂנְאָה אֲשֶׁר שְׂנֵאָהּ מֵאַהֲבָה אֲשֶׁר אֲהֵבָהּ וַיֹּאמֶר־לָהּ אַמְנֹון קוּמִי לֵכִי׃
16But she said to him, "No, my brother; for this wrong in sending me away is greater than the other which you did to me." But he would not listen to her. וַתֹּאמֶר לֹו אַל־אֹודֹת הָרָעָה הַגְּדֹולָה הַזֹּאת מֵאַחֶרֶת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתָ עִמִּי לְשַׁלְּחֵנִי וְלֹא אָבָה לִשְׁמֹעַ לָהּ׃
17He called the young man who served him and said, "Put this woman out of my presence, and bolt the door after her." וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־נַעֲרֹו מְשָׁרְתֹו וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁלְחוּ־נָא אֶת־זֹאת מֵעָלַי הַחוּצָה וּנְעֹל הַדֶּלֶת אַחֲרֶיהָ׃
18Now she was wearing a long robe with sleeves; for thus were the virgin daughters of the king clad of old. So his servant put her out, and bolted the door after her. וְעָלֶיהָ כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים כִּי כֵן תִּלְבַּשְׁןָ בְנֹות־הַמֶּלֶךְ הַבְּתוּלֹת מְעִילִים וַיֹּצֵא אֹותָהּ מְשָׁרְתֹו הַחוּץ וְנָעַל הַדֶּלֶת אַחֲרֶיהָ׃
19And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent the long robe which she wore; and she laid her hand on her head, and went away, crying aloud as she went. וַתִּקַּח תָּמָר אֵפֶר עַל־רֹאשָׁהּ וּכְתֹנֶת הַפַּסִּים אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיהָ קָרָעָה וַתָּשֶׂם יָדָהּ עַל־רֹאשָׁהּ וַתֵּלֶךְ הָלֹוךְ וְזָעָקָה׃
20And her brother Absalom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now hold your peace, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this to heart." So Tamar dwelt, a desolate woman, in her brother Absalom's house. וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אַבְשָׁלֹום אָחִיהָ הַאֲמִינֹון אָחִיךְ הָיָה עִמָּךְ וְעַתָּה אֲחֹותִי הַחֲרִישִׁי אָחִיךְ הוּא אַל־תָּשִׁיתִי אֶת־לִבֵּךְ לַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַתֵּשֶׁב תָּמָר וְשֹׁמֵמָה בֵּית אַבְשָׁלֹום אָחִיהָ׃
21When King David heard of all these things, he was very angry. וְהַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד שָׁמַע אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיִּחַר לֹו מְאֹד׃
22But Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. וְלֹא־דִבֶּר אַבְשָׁלֹום עִם־אַמְנֹון לְמֵרָע וְעַד־טֹוב כִּי־שָׂנֵא אַבְשָׁלֹום אֶת־אַמְנֹון עַל־דְּבַר אֲשֶׁר עִנָּה אֵת תָּמָר אֲחֹתֹו׃ ף

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
