Now it was after this that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David was in love with her.

But Amnon was so frustrated on account of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed too difficult to Amnon to do anything to her.

But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very clever man.

And he said to him, “Why are you, the king’s son, so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” So Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”

Jonadab then said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill; when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please have my sister Tamar come and give me food to eat, and have her prepare the food in my sight, so that I may see it and eat from her hand.’”

So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please have my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of pastries in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.”

그 후에 이 일이 있으니라 다윗의 아들 압살롬에게 아름다운 누이가 있으니 이름은 다말이라 다윗의 다른 아들 암논이 그를 사랑하나

Now it was after this that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David was in love with her.

그는 처녀이므로 어찌할 수 없는 줄을 알고 암논이 그의 누이 다말 때문에 울화로 말미암아 병이 되니라

But Amnon was so frustrated on account of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed too difficult to Amnon to do anything to her.

암논에게 요나답이라 하는 친구가 있으니 그는 다윗의 형 시므아의 아들이요 심히 간교한 자라

But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very clever man.

그가 암논에게 이르되 왕자여 당신은 어찌하여 나날이 이렇게 파리하여 가느냐 내게 말해 주지 아니하겠느냐 하니 암논이 말하되 내가 아우 압살롬의 누이 다말을 사랑함이니라 하니라

And he said to him, “Why are you, the king’s son, so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” So Amnon said to him, “I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.”

요나답이 그에게 이르되 침상에 누워 병든 체하다가 네 아버지가 너를 보러 오거든 너는 그에게 말하기를 원하건대 내 누이 다말이 와서 내게 떡을 먹이되 내가 보는 데에서 떡을 차려 그의 손으로 먹여 주게 하옵소서 하라 하니

Jonadab then said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill; when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please have my sister Tamar come and give me food to eat, and have her prepare the food in my sight, so that I may see it and eat from her hand.’”

암논이 곧 누워 병든 체하다가 왕이 와서 그를 볼 때에 암논이 왕께 아뢰되 원하건대 내 누이 다말이 와서 내가 보는 데에서 과자 두어 개를 만들어 그의 손으로 내게 먹여 주게 하옵소서 하니

So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please have my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of pastries in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.”
