2 Samuel 1

1 After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,

Setelah Saul wafat, Daud kembali dari pertempuran mengalahkan orang Amalek, lalu tinggal di Ziklag selama dua hari.

2 on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.

Keesokan harinya, datanglah seorang pemuda dari perkemahan Saul. Sebagai tanda berkabung ia telah mengoyak pakaiannya dan menaruh tanah di atas kepalanya. Ia pergi kepada Daud dan sujud di hadapannya.

3 David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”

Daud bertanya kepadanya, "Dari mana engkau?" Jawabnya, "Hamba lolos dari perkemahan orang Israel."

4 David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”

Tanya Daud, "Ceritakanlah apa yang telah terjadi!" Jawab pemuda itu, "Tentara kami melarikan diri dari pertempuran, dan banyak yang gugur, termasuk Saul dan Yonatan."

5 David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”

"Bagaimana kau tahu?" tanya Daud kepadanya.

6 The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.

Jawabnya, "Kebetulan sekali hamba ada di Gunung Gilboa, lalu melihat Saul bersandar pada tombaknya, sedangkan kereta-kereta dan tentara berkuda musuh, sudah mendekat hendak mengepungnya.

7 When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’

Saul menoleh ke belakang, dan melihat hamba, lalu hamba dipanggilnya, dan hamba menjawab, 'Ya, Tuanku.'

8 He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

Ia bertanya siapa hamba, dan hamba memberitahukan kepadanya bahwa hamba ini orang Amalek.

9 He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’

Lalu katanya kepada hamba, 'Ke marilah, dan bunuhlah aku! Aku luka parah, dan hampir mati.'

10 So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”

Maka hamba dekati dia, dan hamba bunuh, sebab hamba tahu bahwa jika ia jatuh karena tak kuat lagi berdiri, pasti ia akan mati juga. Lalu hamba ambil mahkota dari kepalanya dan gelang dari lengannya, dan hamba bawa ke mari kepada Tuanku."

11 Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.

Mendengar itu Daud menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan semua anak buahnya berbuat demikian juga.

12 They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

Mereka meratap dan berkabung serta berpuasa sampai malam untuk Saul dan Yonatan, dan untuk rakyat Israel, umat TUHAN, sebab banyak sekali yang telah gugur dalam pertempuran itu.

13 David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”

Kemudian Daud bertanya kepada pemuda yang membawa kabar itu, "Dari mana asalmu?" Jawabnya, "Hamba ini orang Amalek, seorang perantau di negeri Tuanku."

14 David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”

Daud berkata, "Berani sekali engkau membunuh raja pilihan TUHAN!"

15 David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.

Lalu ia memanggil salah seorang dari anak buahnya dan memerintahkan, "Bunuhlah dia!" Orang itu membacok pemuda Amalek itu sampai mati.

16 David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”

Kata Daud kepada pemuda Amalek itu, "Engkau sendiri yang menjatuhkan hukuman mati ini atas dirimu dengan mengakui bahwa telah kaubunuh raja yang dipilih TUHAN!"

17 David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son

Setelah itu Daud menyanyikan ratapan ini untuk Saul dan Yonatan,

18 (and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):

dan memerintahkan supaya nyanyian ini diajarkan kepada suku Yehuda. (Nyanyian ini tertulis dalam Buku Yasar).

19 “Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

"Israel, di bukit-bukitmu, nun di sana gugurlah pahlawan, para putra negara, runtuhlah mereka sebagai bunga bangsa.

20 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

Semoga orang-orang Gat tak mendengar berita itu. Semoga lorong-lorong Askelon tak mendapat kabar tentang itu. Jangan sampai wanita Filistin bersorak-sorai jangan sampai perempuan kafir berpekik ramai.

21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

Hai bukit-bukit Gilboa, dengarlah seruanku: Jangan sampai embun dan hujan membasahimu! Biarlah kering dan tandus ladang dan padangmu. Sebab di sanalah terdampar perisai pemberani. Dan perisai Saul pun berkarat, tak diminyaki lagi.

22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow did not turn back. Saul’s sword did not return empty.

Panah Yonatan ampuh, mematikan. Pedang Saul tak mengenal kasihan membunuh musuh, membinasakan lawan.

23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

Saul dan Yonatan, begitu ramah dan dikasihi; senantiasa bersatu dalam hidup dan mati; mereka lebih cepat dari burung garuda, lebih kuat dari singa muda.

24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.

Hai, wanita Israel, ratapilah Saul, sang raja! Yang mendandanimu dengan gaun merah yang mewah, dan menghiasmu dengan mas permata yang indah.

25 How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.

Telah gugur para pahlawan, jatuh di medan pertempuran dan di bukit-bukit lengang Yonatan terbujur, tegang.

26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.

Yonatan, hai saudaraku, hatiku pilu, sebab engkau sangat berharga bagiku. Kasihmu kepadaku amat mulia, malahan melebihi kasih wanita.

27 How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”

Telah gugur para pahlawan bangsa. Tersia-sialah senjata mereka!"
