Kings I 17
1 And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
Pada suatu ketika orang Filistin mengerahkan tentaranya untuk maju berperang. Mereka mengatur barisannya di kota Sokho, dalam wilayah Yehuda dan memasang perkemahannya di antara Sokho dan Azeka, dekat Efes-Damim.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel gather together, and they encamp in the valley, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Saul dan orang-orang Israel berkumpul juga dan berkemah di Lembah Ela; mereka bersiap-siap untuk menghadapi serangan orang Filistin.
3 And the Philistines stand on the mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side, and the valley was between them.
Demikianlah barisan orang Filistin berdiri di sebuah bukit dan barisan orang Israel di bukit yang lain, dan di antaranya ada sebuah lembah.
4 And there went forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four cubits and a span.
Maka seorang jago berkelahi yang bernama Goliat, dari kota Gat, keluar dari perkemahan Filistin untuk menantang orang Israel. Tingginya kira-kira tiga meter,
5 And [he had] a helmet upon his head, and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
dan ia memakai topi tembaga dan baju perang tembaga yang beratnya kira-kira lima puluh tujuh kilogram.
6 And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders.
Kakinya dilindungi oleh penutup kaki dari tembaga, dan di bahunya ia memanggul lembing tembaga.
7 And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam, and the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armour-bearer went before him.
Gagang tombaknya sebesar kayu pada alat tenun, dan mata tombaknya kira-kira tujuh kilogram beratnya. Seorang prajurit berjalan di depannya dengan membawa perisainya.
8 And he stood and cried to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and ye Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
Goliat berhenti lalu berseru kepada tentara Israel, "Apa yang sedang kamu lakukan di situ? Hendak berperangkah kamu? Aku seorang Filistin, hai hamba-hamba Saul! Pilihlah seorang di antara kamu yang berani turun untuk bertempur melawan aku.
9 And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall smite me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and smite him, ye shall be our servants, and serve us.
Jika dalam perang tanding itu, aku terbunuh, kami rela menjadi hambamu, tetapi jika aku yang menang dan membunuhnya, kamulah yang akan menjadi hamba kami.
10 And the Philistine said, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.
Sekarang juga, kutantang tentara Israel; pilihlah seorang untuk bertanding melawan aku!"
11 And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
Ketika Saul dan orang-orangnya mendengar tantangan itu, terkejutlah mereka dan menjadi sangat ketakutan.
12 [And David son of an Ephrathite said, this Eplarathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessae, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man among men in the days of Saul. ]
Daud adalah anak Isai orang Efrata, dari Betlehem di Yehuda. Isai mempunyai delapan orang anak laki-laki, dan pada zaman pemerintahan Saul, Isai sudah tua sekali.
13 [And the three elder sons of Jessae went and followed Saul to the war, and the ] [names of his sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. ]
Ketiga anak Isai yang tertua telah pergi berperang mengikuti Saul. Yang sulung bernama Eliab, yang kedua Abinadab, dan yang ketiga Syama.
14 [And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
Daud anak yang bungsu. Pada waktu ketiga abangnya yang tertua itu sedang berperang mengikuti Saul,
15 [And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
Daud sering meninggalkan Saul dan pulang ke Betlehem untuk menggembalakan domba ayahnya.
16 [And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
Selama empat puluh hari, setiap pagi dan petang, Goliat mendekati barisan orang Israel dan menantang mereka.
17 [And Jessae said to David, Take now to thy brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to thy brothers. ]
Pada suatu hari Isai berkata kepada Daud, "Ambillah sepuluh kilogram gandum panggang dengan sepuluh roti ini, dan bawalah kepada abang-abangmu di perkemahan tentara.
18 [And thou shalt carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and thou shalt see how thy brethren fare, and learn what they want. ]
Bawalah juga sepuluh buah keju ini untuk komandan pasukan. Tanyakanlah bagaimana keadaan abang-abangmu, dan bawalah bukti untukku bahwa engkau telah bertemu dengan mereka dan mereka dalam keadaan selamat.
19 [And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring with the Philistines. ]
Mereka ada di Lembah Ela bersama Raja Saul, dan semua orang Israel sedang bertempur melawan orang Filistin."
20 [And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessae commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as it was going out to fight, and they shouted for the battle. ]
Keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, Daud bangun lalu berkemas. Dombanya dititipkannya kepada seorang penjaga, kemudian ia mengambil bawaannya lalu berangkat, sesuai dengan perintah ayahnya. Ia sampai ke perkemahan pada waktu orang Israel berangkat ke medan pertempuran sambil memekikkan sorak perang.
21 [And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
Tentara Filistin dan tentara Israel saling berhadapan dan bersiap-siap untuk bertempur.
22 [And David deposited his burden in the hand of a keeper, and ran to the line, and went and asked his brethren how they Were. ]
Lalu Daud menitipkan bawaannya itu kepada penjaga perlengkapan tentara, dan lari ke medan perang untuk menemui abang-abangnya.
23 [And while he was speaking with them, behold the Amessaean advanced, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Geth, of the armies of the Philistines, and he spoke ] [as before, and David heard. ]
Tetapi ketika ia sedang berbicara dengan mereka, Goliat maju ke depan dan menantang orang Israel, seperti yang biasa dilakukannya. Daud pun mendengar kata-kata tantangannya itu.
24 [And all the men of Israel when they saw the man fled from before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
Segera setelah orang Israel melihat Goliat, mereka lari ketakutan.
25 [And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall smite him, the king shall enrich him with great wealth and shall give him his daughter, and shall make his father’s house free in Israel. ]
"Lihatlah dia!" kata mereka sesamanya. "Dengarlah kata-kata tantangannya! Saul raja kita telah berjanji bahwa siapa saja yang membunuh Goliat, akan diberikan hadiah yang besar. Raja juga akan mengawinkan orang itu dengan putrinya. Dan keluarga ayah orang itu akan dibebaskan dari pajak."
26 [and David spoke to the men who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall smite that Philistine, and take away reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has defied the army of the living God? ]
Lalu Daud berkata, "Berani benar orang Filistin si kafir itu menantang tentara Allah yang hidup!" Kemudian ia bertanya kepada salah seorang prajurit, "Apakah yang akan diberikan kepada orang yang bisa membunuh orang Filistin itu dan menghapus penghinaan dari Israel?"
27 [And the people spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall smite him. ]
Rakyat memberitahukan kepadanya apa yang telah dijanjikan raja.
28 [And Eliab his elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why hast thou thus come down, and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thine heart, for thou art come down to see the battle. ]
Eliab abang Daud yang sulung mendengar Daud berbicara dengan prajurit-prajurit. Dia menjadi marah kepada Daud dan berkata, "Mengapa kau datang kemari? Siapa telah kau suruh mengurus domba-dombamu yang beberapa ekor itu di padang gurun? Aku tahu, kau berlagak berani; kau datang kemari hanya untuk melihat pertempuran bukan?"
29 [And David said what have I done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
Jawab Daud, "Apa salahku? Aku kan hanya bertanya!"
30 [And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [after the former manner. ]
Lalu dia pergi dan menanyakan hal yang sama kepada prajurit-prajurit yang lain; dan ia mendapat jawaban begitu juga.
31 [And the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
Tetapi beberapa orang yang mendengar perkataan Daud, menyampaikannya kepada Saul, jadi Daud dipanggilnya menghadap.
32 And David said to Saul, Let not, I pray thee, the heart of my lord be dejected within him: thy servant will go, and fight with this Philistine.
Kata Daud kepada Saul, "Baginda, kita tak perlu takut kepada orang Filistin itu! Hamba bersedia melawan dia."
33 And Saul said to David, Thou wilt not in anywise be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for thou art a mere youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
"Jangan," jawab Saul. "Bagaimana mungkin engkau bertanding dengan dia? Engkau masih muda sekali, sedangkan dia sudah biasa berperang sejak masa mudanya."
34 And David said to Saul, Thy servant was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear, and took a sheep out of the flock,
Tetapi Daud berkata, "Baginda, hamba biasa menggembalakan domba ayah hamba. Bilamana ada singa atau beruang datang menerkam domba,
35 then I went forth after him, and smote him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and smote him, and slew him.
binatang buas itu hamba kejar dan hantam, lalu domba itu hamba selamatkan. Dan jika singa atau beruang itu melawan hamba, maka hamba pegang lehernya, lalu hamba pukul sampai mati.
36 Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and smite him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God?
Hamba telah membunuh singa maupun beruang, dan orang Filistin si kafir itu juga akan sama seperti binatang-binatang itu, karena ia berani menghina tentara dari Allah yang hidup.
37 The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall be with thee.
TUHAN telah menyelamatkan hamba dari singa dan beruang, Dia juga akan menyelamatkan hamba dari orang Filistin itu." Lalu kata Saul kepadanya, "Baiklah, semoga TUHAN menolongmu."
38 And Saul clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
Saul memberikan pakaian perangnya, yaitu sebuah baju besi kepada Daud dan Daud mengenakannya. Lalu Saul memakaikan topi tembaga pada kepala Daud.
39 And he girt David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul, I shall not be able to go with these, for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from him.
Akhirnya Daud mengikatkan pedang Saul pada baju besi itu lalu mencoba berjalan, tetapi tidak bisa, karena Daud tidak biasa memakai pakaian perang. "Hamba tidak bisa berjalan dengan pakaian ini," katanya kepada Saul. "Hamba tidak biasa memakainya." Lalu seluruh pakaian perang itu ditanggalkannya.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.
Kemudian ia mengambil tongkat gembalanya, dan memilih lima buah batu yang bulat dari sungai, lalu dimasukkannya ke dalam kantongnya. Dengan umban siap di tangannya, pergilah ia menemui Goliat.
41 And the Philistine advanced and drew nigh to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
Beberapa saat kemudian Goliat yang didahului oleh pembawa perisainya, mulai berjalan mendekati Daud.
42 And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.
Tetapi ketika ia melihat Daud dan memperhatikannya, Goliat tertawa mengejek karena Daud masih muda sekali dan tampan.
43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that thou comest against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Kata Goliat kepada Daud, "Untuk apa tongkat itu? Apakah kauanggap aku ini anjing?" Lalu Daud dikutukinya demi para dewanya.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
Lagipula ia menantang Daud, katanya, "Ayo, maju! akan kuberikan tubuhmu kepada burung dan binatang supaya dimakan."
45 And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which thou hast defied
Tetapi Daud menjawab, "Engkau datang melawanku dengan pedang, tombak dan lembing, tetapi aku datang melawanmu dengan nama TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, Allah tentara Israel yang kauhina itu.
46 this day. And the Lord shall deliver thee this day into my hand; and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from off thee, and will give thy limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel.
Hari ini juga TUHAN akan menyerahkan engkau kepadaku; engkau akan kukalahkan dan kepalamu akan kupenggal. Tubuhmu dan tubuh prajurit-prajurit Filistin akan kuberikan kepada burung dan binatang supaya dimakan. Maka seluruh dunia akan tahu bahwa kami bangsa Israel mempunyai Allah yang kami sembah,
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands.
dan semua orang di sini akan melihat bahwa TUHAN tidak memerlukan pedang atau tombak untuk menyelamatkan umat-Nya. Dialah yang menentukan jalan peperangan ini dan Dia akan menyerahkan kamu ke dalam tangan kami."
48 And the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
Goliat mulai maju mendekati Daud, lalu dengan cepat Daud berlari ke arah barisan orang Filistin untuk menghadapi dia.
49 And David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.
Daud merogoh kantongnya, mengambil sebuah batu lalu diumbankannya kepada Goliat. Batu itu menghantam dahi Goliat sehingga pecahlah tengkoraknya, dan ia roboh dengan mukanya ke tanah.
50 [So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and slew him, and there was no sword in the hand of David. ]
Daud berlari kepada Goliat, lalu berdiri di dekatnya; ia mengambil pedang Goliat dan mencabutnya dari sarungnya, lalu dipenggalnya kepala orang Filistin itu. Demikianlah Daud mengalahkan dan membunuh Goliat, hanya dengan umban dan batu! Ketika orang-orang Filistin melihat bahwa pahlawan mereka sudah mati, larilah mereka.
51 And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and slew him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
52 And the men of Israel and Juda arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth, and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Geth, and to Accaron.
Orang-orang Israel dan Yehuda bersorak-sorak dan mengejar orang-orang Filistin sampai ke Gat dan pintu gerbang Ekron. Orang-orang Filistin yang terluka bergelimpangan sepanjang jalan ke Saaraim itu.
53 And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
Setelah itu orang Israel kembali dari mengejar orang Filistin, lalu merampas isi perkemahan mereka.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
Daud mengambil kepala Goliat, dan dibawanya ke Yerusalem, tetapi senjata-senjata Goliat disimpannya di dalam kemahnya sendiri.
55 And when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As thy sould lives, O King, I know not.
Ketika Saul melihat Daud pergi melawan Goliat, bertanyalah ia kepada Abner penglima tentaranya, "Abner, anak siapakah dia?" "Hamba tidak tahu, Baginda," jawab Abner.
56 And the king said, Do thou ask whose son this youth is.
Lalu perintah Saul, "Pergilah dan tanyakanlah hal itu."
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abener took him and brought him before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand.
Jadi ketika Daud kembali ke perkemahan sesudah membunuh Goliat, ia dibawa Abner menghadap Saul. Daud masih menjinjing kepala Goliat.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? and David said, The son of thy servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
Lalu bertanyalah Saul kepadanya, "Hai anak muda! anak siapa engkau?" Daud menjawab, "Hamba ini anak Isai dari Betlehem."
