1 Chronicles 14
1 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.
Hiram, raja negeri Tirus, mengirim utusan kepada Daud dan kayu aras, tukang-tukang batu dan tukang-tukang kayu untuk mendirikan sebuah istana baginya.
2 And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.
Lalu tahulah Daud, bahwa TUHAN telah menegakkan dia sebagai raja atas Israel, sebab martabat pemerintahannya terangkat tinggi oleh karena Israel umat-Nya.
3 Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
Daud mengambil lagi beberapa isteri di Yerusalem, dan ia memperanakkan lagi anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan.
4 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
Inilah nama anak-anak yang lahir bagi dia di Yerusalem: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
5 Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
Yibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,
6 as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Nogah, Nefeg, Yafia,
7 Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Beelyada dan Elifelet.
8 Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.
Ketika didengar orang Filistin, bahwa Daud telah diurapi menjadi raja atas seluruh Israel, maka majulah semua orang Filistin untuk menangkap Daud. Tetapi Daud mendengar hal itu, lalu majulah ia menghadapi mereka.
9 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
Ketika orang Filistin itu datang dan mengadakan penyerbuan di lembah Refaim,
10 And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”
bertanyalah Daud kepada Allah: "Apakah aku harus maju melawan orang Filistin itu dan akan Kauserahkankah mereka ke dalam tanganku?" TUHAN menjawab: "Majulah, Aku akan menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tanganmu."
11 And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
Lalu majulah ia ke Baal-Perasim, dan Daud memukul mereka kalah di sana. Berkatalah Daud: "Allah telah menerobos musuhku dengan perantaraanku seperti air menerobos." Sebab itu orang menamakan tempat itu Baal-Perasim.
12 And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
Orang Filistin itu meninggalkan para allahnya di sana, lalu orang Israel membakarnya habis atas perintah Daud.
13 And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
Ketika orang Filistin menyerbu sekali lagi di lembah itu,
14 And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.
maka bertanyalah lagi Daud kepada Allah, lalu Allah menjawab: "Janganlah maju di belakang mereka, tetapi buatlah gerakan lingkaran terhadap mereka, sehingga engkau dapat menyerang mereka dari jurusan pohon-pohon kertau.
15 And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”
Dan bila engkau mendengar bunyi derap langkah di puncak pohon-pohon kertau itu, maka haruslah engkau keluar bertempur, sebab Allah telah keluar berperang di depanmu untuk memukul kalah tentara orang Filistin."
16 Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.
Dan Daud berbuat seperti yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya, maka mereka memukul kalah tentara orang Filistin, mulai dari Gibeon sampai Gezer.
17 And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.
Lalu termasyhurlah nama Daud di segala negeri, dan TUHAN mendatangkan rasa takut kepadanya atas segala bangsa.
