| Louis Segond 1910 (French) (LSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 Apr?s cela, voici ce qui arriva. Absalom, fils de David, avait une soeur qui ?tait belle et qui s'appelait Tamar; et Amnon, fils de David, l'aima. | 1 In the course of time, Amnon son of David fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of Absalom son of David. |
| 2 Amnon ?tait tourment? jusqu'? se rendre malade ? cause de Tamar, sa soeur; car elle ?tait vierge, et il paraissait difficile ? Amnon de faire sur elle la moindre tentative. | 2 Amnon became frustrated to the point of illness on account of his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible for him to do anything to her. |
| 3 Amnon avait un ami, nomm? Jonadab, fils de Schimea, fr?re de David, et Jonadab ?tait un homme tr?s habile. | 3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother. Jonadab was a very shrewd man. |
| 4 Il lui dit: Pourquoi deviens-tu, ainsi chaque matin plus maigre, toi, fils de roi? Ne veux-tu pas me le dire? Amnon lui r?pondit: J'aime Tamar, soeur d'Absalom, mon fr?re. | 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 Jonadab lui dit: Mets-toi au lit, et fais le malade. Quand ton p?re viendra te voir, tu lui diras: Permets ? Tamar, ma soeur, de venir pour me donner ? manger; qu'elle pr?pare un mets sous mes yeux, afin que je le voie et que je le prenne de sa main. | 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 Amnon se coucha, et fit le malade. Le roi vint le voir, et Amnon dit au roi: Je te prie, que Tamar, ma soeur, vienne faire deux g?teaux sous mes yeux, et que je les mange de sa main. | 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 envoya dire ? Tamar dans l'int?rieur des appartements: Va dans la maison d'Amnon, ton fr?re, et pr?pare-lui un mets. | 7 David sent word to Tamar at the palace: "Go to the house of your brother Amnon and prepare some food for him." |
| 8 Tamar alla dans la maison d'Amnon, son fr?re, qui ?tait couch?. Elle prit de la p?te, la p?trit, pr?para devant lui des g?teaux, et les fit cuire; | 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 prenant ensuite la po?le, elle les versa devant lui. Mais Amnon refusa de manger. Il dit: Faites sortir tout le monde. Et tout le monde sortit de chez lui. | 9 Then she took the pan and served him the bread, but he refused to eat. "Send everyone out of here," Amnon said. So everyone left him. |
| 10 Alors Amnon dit ? Tamar: Apporte le mets dans la chambre, et que je le mange de ta main. Tamar prit les g?teaux qu'elle avait faits, et les porta ? Amnon, son fr?re, dans la chambre. | 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 Comme elle les lui pr?sentait ? manger, il la saisit et lui dit: Viens, couche avec moi, ma soeur. | 11 But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, "Come to bed with me, my sister." |
| 12 Elle lui r?pondit: Non, mon fr?re, ne me d?shonore pas, car on n'agit point ainsi en Isra?l; ne commets pas cette infamie. | 12 "Don't, my brother!" she said to him. "Don't force me. Such a thing should not be done in Israel! Don't do this wicked thing. |
| 13 O? irais-je, moi, avec ma honte? Et toi, tu serais comme l'un des inf?mes en Isra?l. Maintenant, je te prie, parle au roi, et il ne s'opposera pas ? ce que je sois ? toi. | 13 What about me? 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 Mais il ne voulut pas l'?couter; il lui fit violence, la d?shonora et coucha avec elle. | 14 But he refused to listen to her, and since he was stronger than she, he raped her. |
| 15 Puis Amnon eut pour elle une forte aversion, plus forte que n'avait ?t? son amour. Et il lui dit: L?ve-toi, va-t'en! | 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 Elle lui r?pondit: N'augmente pas, en me chassant, le mal que tu m'as d?j? fait. Il ne voulut pas l'?couter, | 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 et appelant le gar?on qui le servait, il dit: Qu'on ?loigne de moi cette femme et qu'on la mette dehors. Et ferme la porte apr?s elle! | 17 He called his personal servant and said, "Get this woman out of here and bolt the door after her." |
| 18 Elle avait une tunique de plusieurs couleurs; car c'?tait le v?tement que portaient les filles du roi, aussi longtemps qu'elles ?taient vierges. Le serviteur d'Amnon la mit dehors, et ferma la porte apr?s elle. | 18 So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her. She was wearing a richly ornamented robe, for this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore. |
| 19 Tamar r?pandit de la cendre sur sa t?te, et d?chira sa tunique bigarr?e; elle mit la main sur sa t?te, et s'en alla en poussant des cris. | 19 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the ornamented robe she was wearing. She put her hand on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went. |
| 20 Absalom, son fr?re, lui dit: Amnon, ton fr?re, a-t-il ?t? avec toi? Maintenant, ma soeur, tais-toi, c'est ton fr?re; ne prends pas cette affaire trop ? coeur. Et Tamar, d?sol?e, demeura dans la maison d'Absalom, son fr?re. | 20 Her brother Absalom said to her, "Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet 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 Le roi David apprit toutes ces choses, et il fut tr?s irrit?. | 21 When King David heard all this, he was furious. |
| 22 Absalom ne parla ni en bien ni en mal avec Amnon; mais il le prit en haine, parce qu'il avait d?shonor? Tamar, sa soeur. | 22 Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad; he hated Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar. |
| 23 Deux ans apr?s, comme Absalom avait les tondeurs ? Baal-Hatsor, pr?s d'?phra?m, il invita tous les fils du roi. | 23 Two years later, when Absalom's sheepshearers were at Baal Hazor near the border of Ephraim, he invited all the king's sons to come there. |
| 24 Absalom alla vers le roi, et dit: Voici, ton serviteur a les tondeurs; que le roi et ses serviteurs viennent chez ton serviteur. | 24 Absalom went to the king and said, "Your servant has had shearers come. Will the king and his officials please join me?" |
| 25 Et le roi dit ? Absalom: Non, mon fils, nous n'irons pas tous, de peur que nous ne te soyons ? charge. Absalom le pressa; mais le roi ne voulut point aller, et il le b?nit. | 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 Absalom dit: Permets du moins ? Amnon, mon fr?re, de venir avec nous. Le roi lui r?pondit: Pourquoi irait-il chez toi? | 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 Sur les instances d'Absalom, le roi laissa aller avec lui Amnon et tous ses fils. | 27 But Absalom urged him, so he sent with him Amnon and the rest of the king's sons. |
| 28 Absalom donna cet ordre ? ses serviteurs: Faites attention quand le coeur d'Amnon sera ?gay? par le vin et que je vous dirai: Frappez Amnon! Alors tuez-le; ne craignez point, n'est-ce pas moi qui vous l'ordonne? Soyez fermes, et montrez du courage! | 28 Absalom ordered his men, "Listen! When Amnon is in high spirits from drinking wine and I say to you, 'Strike Amnon down,' then kill him. Don't be afraid. Have not I given you this order? Be strong and brave." |
| 29 Les serviteurs d'Absalom trait?rent Amnon comme Absalom l'avait ordonn?. Et tous les fils du roi se lev?rent, mont?rent chacun sur son mulet, et s'enfuirent. | 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 Comme ils ?taient en chemin, le bruit parvint ? David qu'Absalom avait tu? tous les fils du roi, et qu'il n'en ?tait pas rest? un seul. | 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 Le roi se leva, d?chira ses v?tements, et se coucha par terre; et tous ses serviteurs ?taient l?, les v?tements d?chir?s. | 31 The king stood up, tore his clothes and lay down on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn. |
| 32 Jonadab, fils de Schimea, fr?re de David, prit la parole et dit: Que mon seigneur ne pense point que tous les jeunes gens, fils du roi, ont ?t? tu?s, car Amnon seul est mort; et c'est l'effet d'une r?solution d'Absalom, depuis le jour o? Amnon a d?shonor? Tamar, sa soeur. | 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 expressed intention ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar. |
| 33 Que le roi mon seigneur ne se tourmente donc point dans l'id?e que tous les fils du roi sont morts, car Amnon seul est mort. | 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 Absalom prit la fuite. Or le jeune homme plac? en sentinelle leva les yeux et regarda. Et voici, une grande troupe venait par le chemin qui ?tait derri?re lui, du c?t? de la montagne. | 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." |
| 35 Jonadab dit au roi: Voici les fils du roi qui arrivent! Ainsi se confirme ce que disait ton serviteur. | 35 Jonadab said to the king, "See, the king's sons are here; it has happened just as your servant said." |
| 36 Comme il achevait de parler, voici, les fils du roi arriv?rent. Ils ?lev?rent la voix, et pleur?rent; le roi aussi et tous ses serviteurs vers?rent d'abondantes larmes. | 36 As he finished speaking, the king's sons came in, wailing loudly. The king, too, and all his servants wept very bitterly. |
| 37 Absalom s'?tait enfui, et il alla chez Talma?, fils d'Ammihur, roi de Gueschur. Et David pleurait tous les jours son fils. | 37 Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But King David mourned for his son every day. |
| 38 Absalom resta trois ans ? Gueschur, o? il ?tait all?, apr?s avoir pris la fuite. | 38 After Absalom fled and went to Geshur, he stayed there three years. |
| 39 Le roi David cessa de poursuivre Absalom, car il ?tait consol? de la mort d'Amnon. | 39 And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled concerning Amnon's death. |
