2 Samuel 1
1 After the death of Saul, David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.
Setelah Daud mengejar dan membunuh orang-orang Amalek yang sudah menjarah Ziklag, dia kembali dan tinggal di Ziklag selama dua hari tanpa mendengar berita tentang Saul maupun tentang pertempuran melawan pasukan Filistin.
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.
Pada hari ketiga, datanglah seseorang dari perkemahan pasukan Saul. Dia sudah merobek pakaiannya dan menaburkan tanah di kepalanya sebagai tanda berkabung. Setibanya di hadapan Daud, dia bersujud memberi hormat.
3 “Where have you come from?” David asked. “I have escaped from the Israelite camp,” he replied.
Lalu Daud bertanya kepadanya, “Kamu dari mana?” Jawabnya, “Dari perkemahan pasukan Israel. Hamba berhasil meloloskan diri dari serbuan orang Filistin di sana.”
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 kepadanya, “Apa yang terjadi dalam pertempuran itu? Beritahu saya!” Jawab orang itu, “Pasukan Israel melarikan diri dari pertempuran dan banyak yang terbunuh, bahkan Saul dan Yonatan mati!”
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?”
Berkatalah Daud kepada orang itu, “Bagaimana kamu tahu bahwa Saul dan putranya sudah mati?”
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.
Jawab orang itu, “Kebetulan hamba berada di gunung Gilboa dan melihat Saul bersandar pada tombaknya, sementara kereta-kereta kuda dan pasukan penunggang kuda musuh sedang mendekatinya.
7 When he turned around and saw me, he called out and I answered, ‘Here I am!’
Ketika Saul menoleh ke belakang, dia melihat dan memanggil saya. Lalu saya menjawab, ‘Ya, Tuanku.’
8 ‘Who are you?’ he asked. So I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
“Dia bertanya, ‘Kamu siapa?’ “Dan saya jawab, ‘Saya orang Amalek.’
9 Then he begged me, ‘Stand over me and kill me, for agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’
“Kemudian Saul berkata, ‘Datanglah mendekat dan bunuhlah saya! Saya sudah sekarat, tetapi belum mati juga.’
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.”
Jadi hamba membunuhnya, karena hamba tahu dia tidak akan selamat dengan kondisi seperti itu. Kemudian hamba mengambil mahkota dari kepalanya serta gelang di lengannya dan membawanya ke sini 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.
Maka Daud beserta semua pengikutnya merobek pakaian mereka sebagai tanda berkabung.
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, menangis, dan berpuasa sepanjang hari karena kematian Saul, Yonatan, dan begitu banyak pasukan TUHAN, umat Israel.
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.”
Lalu tanya Daud kepada pembawa kabar itu, “Dari mana asalmu?” Jawabnya, “Hamba adalah orang Amalek. Ayah hamba seorang perantau yang tinggal di negeri Israel.”
14 So David asked him, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
Daud berkata lagi kepadanya, “Mengapa kamu menganggap dirimu pantas membunuh orang yang dipilih 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.
Daud pun memanggil salah seorang tentaranya dan berkata, “Bunuh dia!” Maka tentara itu membunuh pembawa kabar tadi.
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.’”
Sebelum orang itu dibunuh, Daud berkata kepadanya, “Kamu bertanggung jawab atas kematianmu sendiri, karena kamulah yang mengakui bahwa kamu membunuh orang yang dipilih TUHAN.”
17 Then David took up this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan,
Daud meratapi Saul dan Yonatan dengan menyanyikan lagu perkabungan yang diberinya judul “Busur dan Anak Panah.” Daud juga memerintahkan agar lagu itu diajarkan kepada semua orang di Yehuda. Lagu ini tertulis dalam Kitab Orang-orang Jujur. Inilah kata-kata dalam lagu Daud itu:
18 and he ordered that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow. It is written in the Book of Jashar:
19 “Your glory, O Israel, lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!
Oh Israel, yang engkau muliakan sudah terbunuh di bukit-bukit! Sudah gugur para pahlawan yang gagah perkasa!
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.
Jangan beritakan kisah itu di Gat, jangan ceritakan di jalan-jalan Askelon, supaya gadis-gadis Filistin tidak bersuka, dan para penyembah berhala tidak bersorak!
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.
Semoga hujan atau embun tidak turun atas gunung-gunung di Gilboa. Semoga ladang di daerah itu tidak menghasilkan gandum yang dapat dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN! Karena di sanalah perisai-perisai para pahlawan Israel tercampak dengan penuh aib, dan perisai Saul tidak lagi digosok dengan minyak supaya mengkilat.
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.
Pedang Saul dan panah Yonatan tidak pernah gagal membunuh musuh. Senjata-senjata perang mereka selalu berlumur darah dan lemak para pahlawan yang terbunuh.
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 sangat disayangi semasa hidup mereka. Keduanya tak terpisahkan saat hidup maupun mati. Mereka lebih cepat daripada rajawali, lebih kuat daripada singa.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and luxury, who decked your garments with ornaments of gold.
Hai gadis-gadis Israel, ratapilah kematian Saul, yang sudah mengenakan kepada kalian pakaian terbaik dan mewah, yang sudah menghiasi pakaian kalian dengan emas.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.
Betapa aku berdukacita karena para pahlawan kita sudah gugur di tengah pertempuran! Yonatan terbunuh di atas bukit-bukit!
26 I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were delightful to me; your love to me was extraordinary, surpassing the love of women.
Aku sangat berduka karena engkau, Yonatan, saudaraku! Aku sungguh mengasihimu. Kasih persahabatanmu bagiku melebihi kasih seorang istri.
27 How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of war have perished!”
Betapa para pahlawan Israel sudah gugur! Senjata peperangan mereka terbuang dan tak berguna!
