2 Samuel 23
1 Now these are the last words of David. David, the son of Jesse, says, the man who was lifted up on high, the man on whom the God of Jacob put the holy oil, the loved one of Israel's songs, says:
Inilah perkataan Daud yang terakhir: "Tutur kata Daud bin Isai dan tutur kata orang yang diangkat tinggi, orang yang diurapi Allah Yakub, pemazmur yang disenangi di Israel:
2 The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.
Roh TUHAN berbicara dengan perantaraanku, firman-Nya ada di lidahku;
3 The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,
Allah Israel berfirman, gunung batu Israel berkata kepadaku: Apabila seorang memerintah manusia dengan adil, memerintah dengan takut akan Allah,
4 It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.
ia bersinar seperti fajar di waktu pagi, pagi yang tidak berawan, yang sesudah hujan membuat berkilauan rumput muda di tanah.
5 For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?
Bukankah seperti itu keluargaku di hadapan Allah? Sebab Ia menegakkan bagiku suatu perjanjian kekal, teratur dalam segala-galanya dan terjamin. Sebab segala keselamatanku dan segala kesukaanku bukankah Dia yang menumbuhkannya?
6 But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:
Tetapi orang-orang yang dursila mereka semuanya seperti duri yang dihamburkan; sesungguhnya, mereka tidak terpegang oleh tangan:
7 But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.
tidak ada orang yang dapat mengusik mereka, kecuali dengan sebatang besi atau gagang tombak, dan dengan api mereka dibakar habis!"
8 These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.
Inilah nama para pahlawan yang mengiringi Daud: Isybaal, orang Hakhmoni, kepala triwira; ia mengayunkan tombaknya melawan delapan ratus orang yang tertikam mati dalam satu pertempuran.
9 After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,
Dan sesudah dia, Eleazar anak Dodo, anak seorang Ahohi; ia termasuk ketiga pahlawan itu. Ia ada bersama-sama Daud, ketika mereka mengolok-olok orang Filistin, yang telah berkumpul di sana untuk berperang, padahal orang-orang Israel telah mengundurkan diri.
10 He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.
Tetapi ia bangkit dan membunuh demikian banyak orang Filistin sampai tangannya lesu dan tinggal melekat pada pedangnya. TUHAN memberikan pada hari itu kemenangan yang besar. Rakyat datang kembali mengikuti dia, hanya untuk merampas.
11 After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.
Sesudah dia, Sama, anak Age, orang Harari. Ketika orang Filistin berkumpul di Lehi--di sana ada sebidang tanah ladang penuh kacang merah--dan tentara telah melarikan diri dari hadapan orang Filistin,
12 But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.
maka berdirilah ia di tengah-tengah ladang itu, ia dapat mempertahankannya dan memukul kalah orang Filistin. Demikianlah diberikan TUHAN kemenangan yang besar.
13 And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.
Sekali datanglah tiga orang dari ketiga puluh kepala mendapatkan Daud, menjelang musim menuai, dekat gua Adulam, sedang sepasukan orang Filistin berkemah di lembah Refaim.
14 And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
Pada waktu itu Daud ada di dalam kubu gunung dan pasukan pendudukan orang Filistin pada waktu itu ada di Betlehem.
15 And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!
Lalu timbullah keinginan pada Daud, dan ia berkata: "Sekiranya ada orang yang memberi aku minum air dari perigi Betlehem yang ada dekat pintu gerbang!"
16 And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.
Lalu ketiga pahlawan itu menerobos perkemahan orang Filistin, mereka menimba air dari perigi Betlehem yang ada dekat pintu gerbang, mengangkatnya dan membawanya kepada Daud. Tetapi Daud tidak mau meminumnya, melainkan mempersembahkannya sebagai korban curahan kepada TUHAN,
17 And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.
katanya: "Jauhlah dari padaku, ya TUHAN, untuk berbuat demikian! Bukankah ini darah orang-orang yang telah pergi dengan mempertaruhkan nyawanya?" Dan tidak mau ia meminumnya. Itulah yang dilakukan ketiga pahlawan itu.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. He put to death three hundred with his spear, and he got for himself a name among the thirty.
Abisai, adik Yoab, anak Zeruya, dialah kepala ketiga puluh orang itu. Dan dialah yang mengayunkan tombaknya melawan tiga ratus orang yang mati ditikamnya; ia mendapat nama di antara ketiga puluh orang itu.
19 Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.
Bukankah ia yang paling dihormati di antara ketiga puluh orang itu? Memang ia menjadi pemimpin mereka, tetapi ia tidak dapat menyamai triwira itu.
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:
Selanjutnya Benaya bin Yoyada, anak seorang yang gagah perkasa, yang besar jasanya, yang berasal dari Kabzeel; ia menewaskan kedua pahlawan besar dari Moab. Juga pernah ia turun ke dalam lobang dan membunuh seekor singa pada suatu hari bersalju.
21 And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.
Pula ia membunuh seorang Mesir, seorang yang tinggi perawakannya; di tangan orang Mesir itu ada tombak, tetapi ia mendatanginya dengan tongkat, merampas tombak itu dari tangan orang Mesir itu, lalu membunuh orang itu dengan tombaknya sendiri.
22 These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
Itulah yang diperbuat Benaya bin Yoyada; ia mendapat nama di antara ketiga puluh pahlawan itu.
23 He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.
Di antara ketiga puluh orang itu ia paling dihormati, tetapi ia tidak dapat menyamai triwira. Dan Daud mengangkat dia mengepalai pengawalnya.
24 Asahel, the brother of Joab, was one of the thirty; and Elhanan, the son of Dodai, of Beth-lehem,
Asael, saudara Yoab, ada di antara ketiga puluh orang itu; selanjutnya Elhanan bin Dodo, dari Betlehem;
