2 Samuel 1

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

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

2 On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head arrived from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him homage.

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 “Where have you come from?” David asked. “I have escaped from the Israelite camp,” he replied.

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

4 “What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”

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 Then David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”

"Bagaimana kau tahu?" tanya Daud kepadanya.

6 “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and the cavalry closing in on 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 turned around and saw me, he called out and I answered, ‘Here I am!’

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

8 ‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

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

9 Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’

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

10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I 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 of his own clothes and tore them, and all the men who were with him did the same.

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

12 They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the people of the LORD and 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 And David inquired of the young man who had brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I am the son of a foreigner,” he answered. “I am 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 So David asked him, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”

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

15 Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died.

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

16 For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed 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 Then David took up this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan,

Setelah itu Daud menyanyikan ratapan ini untuk Saul dan Yonatan,

18 and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow. 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, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!

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

20 Tell it not in Gath; proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, and the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.

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 O mountains of Gilboa, may you have no dew or rain, no fields yielding offerings of grain. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer 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, the bow of Jonathan did not retreat, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.

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

23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life, were not divided in death. 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 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and luxury, who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.

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 thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.

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

26 I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, 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!"
