< Kings I 19 >
1 And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, to kill David.
Saul mengatakan kepada Yonatan, anaknya, dan kepada semua pegawainya, bahwa Daud harus dibunuh. Tetapi Yonatan, anak Saul, sangat suka kepada Daud,
2 And Jonathan, Saul's son, loved David much: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul seeks to kill you: take heed to yourself therefore to-morrow morning, and hide yourself, and dwell in secret.
sehingga Yonatan memberitahukan kepada Daud: "Ayahku Saul berikhtiar untuk membunuh engkau; oleh sebab itu, hati-hatilah besok pagi, duduklah di suatu tempat perlindungan dan bersembunyilah di sana.
3 And I will go forth, and stand near my father in the field where you shall be, and I will speak concerning you to my father; and I will see what his answer may be, and I will tell you.
Aku akan keluar dan berdiri di sisi ayahku di padang tempatmu itu. Maka aku akan berbicara dengan ayahku perihalmu; aku akan melihat bagaimana keadaannya, lalu memberitahukannya kepadamu."
4 And Jonathan spoke favourably concerning David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against your servant David, for he has not sinned against you, and his deeds [are] very good.
Lalu Yonatan mengatakan yang baik tentang Daud kepada Saul, ayahnya, katanya: "Janganlah raja berbuat dosa terhadap Daud, hambanya, sebab ia tidak berbuat dosa terhadapmu; bukankah apa yang diperbuatnya sangat baik bagimu!
5 And he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great deliverance; and all Israel saw, and rejoined: why then do you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?
Ia telah mempertaruhkan nyawanya dan telah mengalahkan orang Filistin itu, dan TUHAN telah memberikan kemenangan yang besar kepada seluruh Israel. Engkau sudah melihatnya dan bersukacita karenanya. Mengapa engkau hendak berbuat dosa terhadap darah orang yang tidak bersalah dengan membunuh Daud tanpa alasan?"
6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore, saying, [As] the Lord lives, he shall not die.
Saul mendengarkan perkataan Yonatan dan Saul bersumpah: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, ia tidak akan dibunuh."
7 And Jonathan called David, and told him all these words; and Jonathan brought David in to Saul, and he was before him as in former times.
Lalu Yonatan memanggil Daud dan Yonatan memberitahukan kepadanya segala perkataan itu. Yonatan membawa Daud kepada Saul dan ia bekerja padanya seperti dahulu.
8 And there was again war against Saul; and David did valiantly, and fought against the Philistines, and struck them with a very great slaughter, and they fled from before him.
Ketika perang pecah pula, maka majulah Daud dan berperang melawan orang Filistin; ia menimbulkan kekalahan besar di antara mereka, sehingga mereka melarikan diri dari depannya.
9 And an evil spirit from God was upon Saul, and he was resting in his house, and a spear [was] in his hand, and David was playing on the harp with his hands.
Tetapi roh jahat yang dari pada TUHAN hinggap pada Saul, ketika ia duduk di rumahnya, dengan tombaknya di tangannya; dan Daud sedang main kecapi.
10 And Saul sought to strike David with the spear; and David withdrew [suddenly] from the presence of Saul; and he drove the spear into the wall; and David retreated and escaped.
Lalu Saul berikhtiar menancapkan Daud ke dinding dengan tombaknya, tetapi Daud mengelakkan tikaman Saul, sehingga Saul mengenai dinding dengan tombak itu. Sesudah itu Daud melarikan diri dan luputlah ia pada malam itu.
11 And it came to pass in that night, that Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him, in order to kill him in the morning; and Melchol David's wife told him, saying, Unless you save your life this night, to-morrow you shall be slain.
Kemudian Saul mengirim orang-orang suruhan ke rumah Daud untuk mengamat-amatinya dan untuk membunuh dia pada waktu pagi. Tetapi Mikhal, isteri Daud, memberitahukan kepadanya, demikian: "Jika engkau tidak dapat meluputkan dirimu malam ini, maka besok engkau akan dibunuh."
12 So Melchol lets David down by the window, and he departed, and fled, and escaped.
Lalu Mikhal menurunkan Daud dari jendela, ia pergi melarikan diri dan luputlah ia.
13 And Melchol took images, and laid them on the bed, and she put the liver of a goat by his head, and covered them with clothes.
Sesudah itu Mikhal mengambil terafim dan menaruhnya di tempat tidur; ditaruhnya sehelai tenunan bulu kambing di bagian kepala dan ditutupinya dengan selimut.
14 And Saul sent messengers to take David; and they say that he is sick.
Lalu Saul mengirim orang-orang suruhan untuk mengambil Daud, tetapi perempuan itu berkata: "Ia sakit."
15 And he sends to David, saying, Bring him to me on the bed, that I may kill him.
Sesudah itu Saul mengirim orang-orang suruhan itu untuk melihat Daud, katanya: "Bawalah dia di atas tempat tidur itu ke mari, supaya ia dibunuh."
16 And the messengers come, and, behold, the images [were] on the bed, and the goat's liver at his head.
Lalu masuklah para suruhan itu ke dalam, dan tampaklah ada terafim di tempat tidur dengan sehelai tenunan bulu kambing di bagian kepala.
17 And Saul said to Melchol, Why have you thus deceived me, and suffered my enemy to depart, and he has escaped? and Melchol said to Saul, He said, let me go, and if not, I will kill you.
Berkatalah Saul kepada Mikhal: "Mengapa engkau menipu aku demikian itu dan melepas musuhku pergi, sehingga ia luput?" Tetapi jawab Mikhal kepada Saul: "Ia berkata kepadaku: Biarkanlah aku pergi, apa perlunya aku membunuh engkau?"
18 So David fled, and escaped, and comes to Samuel to Armathaim, and tells him all that Saul had done to him: and Samuel and David went, and lived in Navath in Rama.
Setelah Daud melarikan diri dan luput, sampailah ia kepada Samuel di Rama dan memberitahukan kepadanya segala yang dilakukan Saul kepadanya. Kemudian pergilah ia bersama-sama dengan Samuel dan tinggallah mereka di Nayot.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] in Navath in Rama.
Ketika diberitahukan kepada Saul, demikian: "Ketahuilah, Daud ada di Nayot, dekat Rama,"
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the assembly of the prophets, and Samuel stood [as] appointed over them; and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they prophesy.
maka Saul mengirim orang-orang suruhan untuk mengambil Daud. Tetapi orang-orang ini melihat sekumpulan nabi kepenuhan, dengan dikepalai oleh Samuel. Dan Roh Allah hinggap pada orang-orang suruhan Saul, sehingga merekapun kepenuhan seperti nabi.
21 And it was told Saul, and he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied: and Saul sent again a third set of messengers, and they also prophesied.
Lalu hal itu diberitahukan kepada Saul; ia mengirim orang-orang suruhan yang lain, tetapi orang-orang itupun juga kepenuhan seperti nabi. Saul mengirim sekali lagi orang-orang suruhan, rombongan yang ketiga, dan orang-orang inipun juga kepenuhan.
22 And Saul was very angry, and went himself also to Armathaim, and he comes as far as the well of the threshing floor that is in Sephi; and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And they said, Behold, in Navath in Rama.
Lalu ia sendiri pergi ke Rama. Sesampainya ke dekat perigi besar yang di Sekhu, bertanyalah ia, katanya: "Di mana Samuel dan Daud?" Jawab orang: "Ada di Nayot, dekat Rama."
23 And he went thence to Navath in Rama: and there came the Spirit of God upon him also, and he went on prophesying till he came to Navath in Rama.
Lalu pergilah ia ke sana, ke Nayot, dekat Rama dan pada diapun hinggaplah Roh Allah, dan selama ia melanjutkan perjalanannya ia kepenuhan seperti nabi, hingga ia sampai ke Nayot dekat Rama.
24 And he took off his clothes, and prophesied before them; and lay down naked all that day and all that night: therefore they said, [Is] Saul also amongst the prophets?
Iapun menanggalkan pakaiannya, dan iapun juga kepenuhan di depan Samuel. Ia rebah terhantar dengan telanjang sehari-harian dan semalam-malaman itu. Itulah sebabnya orang berkata: "Apakah juga Saul termasuk golongan nabi?"
