1 Samuel 20
1 Then David fled from Naioth, which is in Ramah, and he went and said before Jonathan: “What have I done? What is my iniquity, or what is my sin, against your father, so that he would seek my life?”
Daud melarikan diri dari Nayot dan pergi menemui Yonatan, serta bertanya, “Apakah kesalahan atau dosaku terhadap ayahmu, sehingga dia ingin membunuhku?”
2 And he said to him: “May this not be! You shall not die. For my father will not do anything, great or small, without first revealing it to me. Therefore, has my father concealed this word solely from me? By no means shall this be!”
Yonatan menjawab, “Itu tidak benar! Aku yakin dia tidak mempunyai rencana sejahat itu, karena dia selalu memberitahukan segala rencananya kepadaku, baik perkara besar maupun perkara kecil. Tidak mungkin dia menyembunyikan hal itu dariku. Hal itu tidak mungkin benar!”
3 And he swore again to David. And David said: “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your sight, and so he will say, ‘Let Jonathan not know this, lest he be saddened.’ So truly, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, there is only one step (if I may say it) separating me from death.”
Jawab Daud, “Ayahmu tahu mengenai persahabatan kita. Itu sebabnya dia tidak akan memberitahukannya kepadamu, supaya tidak menyakiti hatimu. Aku menyatakan di hadapan TUHAN yang hidup dan di hadapanmu bahwa aku sudah sangat dekat dengan kematian.”
4 And Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul will tell me, I will do for you.”
Lalu Yonatan berkata kepada Daud, “Wah, kalau demikian, beritahukanlah bagaimana aku dapat menolongmu!”
5 Then David said to Jonathan: “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I am accustomed to sit in a seat beside the king to eat. Therefore, permit me that I may be hidden in the field, until the evening of the third day.
Daud berkata kepadanya, “Kamu tahu bahwa besok adalah perayaan bulan baru, dan aku biasanya makan bersama raja pada hari itu. Tetapi kali ini biarlah aku bersembunyi di padang sampai petang pada hari ketiga.
6 If your father, looking around, will seek me, you shall respond to him: ‘David asked me if he may hurry to Bethlehem, his own city. For there are solemn sacrifices in that place for all of his tribe together.’
Apabila ayahmu bertanya tentang aku, maka katakanlah, ‘Daud meminta izin kepadaku untuk pulang ke Betlehem, karena di sana ada upacara kurban tahunan bagi seluruh keluarganya.’
7 If he will say, ‘It is well,’ then your servant will have peace. But if he will be angry, know that his malice has reached its height.
Jika dia berkata, ‘Baiklah,’ maka aku tidak dalam keadaan berbahaya. Tetapi, apabila hal itu membuatnya sangat marah, maka kamu akan mengetahui bahwa dia memiliki niat jahat terhadapku.
8 Therefore, show mercy to your servant. For you have brought me, your servant, into a covenant of the Lord with you. But if there is any iniquity in me, you may kill me, and you shall not lead me in to your father.”
Tunjukkanlah kasih dan kesetiaanmu kepada hambamu ini, karena kita sudah mengikat perjanjian persahabatan di hadapan TUHAN. Apabila aku bersalah, lebih baik kamu saja yang membunuhku! Tetapi jangan serahkan aku kepada ayahmu.”
9 And Jonathan said: “May this be far from you. For certainly, if I ever realized that any wickedness was determined by my father against you, I would not be able to do anything other than report it to you.”
Jawab Yonatan, “Tidak akan pernah! Apabila aku mengetahui bahwa ayahku mempunyai rencana untuk membunuhmu, aku pasti memberitahukannya kepadamu!”
10 And David responded to Jonathan, “Who will repeat it to me, if your father may perhaps answer you harshly about me?”
Lalu Daud bertanya, “Bagaimana kita mengatur rencana supaya aku bisa tahu apabila ayahmu marah kepadaku?”
11 And Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” And when they both had gone out into the field,
Yonatan menjawab, “Marilah kita keluar ke padang.” Maka mereka pun pergi bersama-sama ke padang.
12 Jonathan said before David: “O Lord, God of Israel, if I will discover a decision by my father, tomorrow, or the day after, and if there will be anything good concerning David, and yet I do not immediately send to you and make it known to you,
Lalu Yonatan berkata kepada Daud, “Aku berjanji di hadapan TUHAN Allah Israel, besok atau lusa kira-kira waktu seperti sekarang ini, aku akan menyelidiki perasaan ayahku terhadapmu. Apabila keadaan baik-baik saja, aku akan mengirimkan orang untuk menyampaikan berita itu kepadamu.
13 may the Lord do these things to Jonathan, and may he add these other things. But if my father will have persevered in malice against you, I will reveal it to your ear, and I will send you away, so that you may go in peace, and so that the Lord may be with you, just as he was with my father.
Tetapi apabila ayahku sangat marah dan ingin membunuhmu, aku berjanji untuk memberitahukannya kepadamu dan menyuruhmu pergi. Biarlah TUHAN menghukum aku, bahkan mencabut nyawaku, jika aku tidak menepati janji ini! Dan biarlah TUHAN menyertaimu, seperti dahulu Dia menyertai ayahku.
14 And if I live, you shall show the mercy of the Lord to me. Yet truly, if I die,
Jika aku masih hidup, ingatlah perjanjian persahabatan kita dan tunjukkanlah kasih dan kesetiamu kepadaku. Tetapi jika aku sudah mati,
15 you shall not take away your mercy from my house, even forever, when the Lord will have rooted out the enemies of David, each and every one of them, from the earth. May he take Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it from the hands of the enemies of David.”
aku memohon untuk tetap menunjukkan kasih dan kesetiaanmu kepada keturunanku sampai selamanya, bahkan ketika TUHAN sudah melenyapkan semua musuhmu dari muka bumi.”
16 Therefore, Jonathan formed a covenant with the house of David. And the Lord required it from the hands of the enemies of David.
Demikianlah Yonatan membuat perjanjian dengan keluarga Daud, dengan berkata, “Biarlah TUHAN memusnahkan seluruh musuh-musuhmu.”
17 And Jonathan continued to swear to David, because he loved him. For he loved him like his own soul.
Lalu Yonatan mengajak Daud untuk mengulangi lagi sumpah persahabatan mereka, karena dia mengasihi Daud seperti dirinya sendiri.
18 And Jonathan said to him: “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be sought.
Berkatalah Yonatan kepada Daud, “Besok memang perayaan bulan baru, dan kamu pasti akan dipertanyakan sebab tempat dudukmu kosong.
19 For your seat will be empty until the day after tomorrow. Therefore, you shall descend quickly, and you shall go to the place where you are to be hidden, on a day when it is lawful to work, and you shall remain beside the stone that is called Ezel.
Kemudian lusa kamu pasti akan dicari. Pada waktu itu pergilah ke ladang tempat persembunyianmu yang dahulu itu, dan duduklah di belakang bukit batu yang di situ.
20 And I will shoot three arrows near it, and I will cast them as if I were practicing for myself toward a mark.
Aku akan menembakkan tiga anak panah ke samping bukit batu itu, seolah-olah aku sedang membidik suatu sasaran.
21 Also, I will send a boy, saying to him, ‘Go and bring the arrows to me.’
Lalu aku akan berkata kepada budakku, ‘Pergilah dan temukanlah anak-anak panah itu.’ Jika aku kemudian berkata, ‘Lihatlah, panah itu lebih dekat lagi ke mari,’ maka kamu aman dan tidak perlu sembunyikan diri lagi. Jika aku berkata demikian, aku berjanji di hadapan TUHAN yang hidup bahwa tidak ada sesuatu yang membahayakanmu.
22 If I will say to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are before you, take them up,’ you shall approach before me, because there is peace for you, and there is nothing evil, as the Lord lives. But if I will have spoken to the boy in this way, ‘Behold, the arrows are away from you,’ then you shall go away in peace, for the Lord has released you.
Tetapi, apabila aku berkata, ‘Lihatlah, anak-anak panah itu masih lebih jauh ke sana,’ maka pergilah. Itu berarti bahwa ternyata TUHAN sedang menyuruh kamu pergi.
23 Now about the word that you and I have spoken, may the Lord be between you and me, even forever.”
Kalau hal itu terjadi, semoga TUHAN yang menjadi saksi untuk selamanya bahwa kita dengan setia mengingat perjanjian kita itu.”
24 Therefore, David was hidden in the field. And the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.
Kemudian Daud bersembunyi di padang. Dan pada perayaan bulan baru itu, raja duduk di tempatnya.
25 And when the king had sat down on his chair, (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan rose up, and Abner sat beside Saul, and David’s place appeared empty.
Seperti biasanya dia duduk di dekat dinding. Yonatan duduk berhadapan dengannya, dan Abner duduk di sebelah Saul, tetapi tempat duduk Daud kosong.
26 And Saul did not say anything on that day. For he was thinking that perhaps something happened to him, so that he was not clean, or not purified.
Hari itu Saul tidak mengatakan apa-apa, sebab dia berpikir bahwa mungkin Daud tidak bisa mengikuti perayaan pada hari itu karena menyentuh sesuatu yang membuat dia menjadi najis.
27 And when the second day after the new moon had begun to dawn, David’s place again appeared empty. And Saul said to Jonathan, his son, “Why has the son of Jesse not arrived to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?”
Ketika pada hari berikutnya tempat duduk Daud masih kosong, berkatalah Saul kepada Yonatan, “Mengapa anak Isai itu tidak datang untuk makan, baik kemarin maupun hari ini?”
28 And Jonathan responded to Saul, “He petitioned me earnestly that he might go to Bethlehem,
Jawab Yonatan, “Dia memohon dengan sungguh-sungguh supaya aku mengizinkan dia pulang ke Betlehem.
29 and he said: ‘Permit me. For there is a solemn sacrifice in the city. One of my brothers has summoned me. Now therefore, if I have found favor in your eyes, I will go quickly, and I will see my brothers.’ For this reason, he has not come to the table of the king.”
Katanya, ‘Biarkanlah aku pergi, sebab ada upacara kurban bagi keluarga kami di sana. Kakakku sudah memberi pesan bahwa aku harus hadir. Demikianlah, jika aku berkenan di matamu, izinkanlah aku pergi untuk menjenguk saudara-saudaraku.’ Itulah sebabnya Daud tidak datang ke perjamuan raja.”
30 Then Saul, becoming angry against Jonathan, said to him: “You son of a woman wantonly seizing a man! Could I be ignorant that you love the son of Jesse, to your own shame, and to the shame of your disgraceful mother?
Lalu Saul menjadi sangat marah kepada Yonatan dan berkata, “Kamu anak pemberontak yang kurang ajar! Apakah aku tidak tahu bahwa kamu sudah berpihak kepada Daud dan kamu mempermalukan dirimu serta ibumu?
31 For all the days that the son of Jesse moves upon earth, neither you, nor your kingdom, will be secure. And so, send and bring him to me, here and now. For he is a son of death.”
Selama anak Isai itu masih hidup, kamu tidak akan bisa menjadi raja. Sekarang pergi dan bawalah dia ke sini, supaya aku membunuhnya!”
32 Then Jonathan, answering his father Saul, said: “Why should he die? What has he done?”
Jawab Yonatan, “Mengapa dia harus dibunuh?! Apakah yang sudah dilakukannya?”
33 And Saul picked up a lance, so that he might strike him. And Jonathan understood that it had been decided by his father that David be put to death.
Lalu Saul melemparkan tombaknya ke arah Yonatan untuk membunuhnya. Jadi, Yonatan benar-benar menyadari bahwa bapaknya sungguh-sungguh berniat untuk membunuh Daud.
34 Therefore, Jonathan rose up from the table in a rage of anger. And he did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was saddened over David, because his father had confounded him.
Kemudian bangkitlah amarah Yonatan dan dia meninggalkan meja perjamuan. Dia tidak makan apa-apa pada hari kedua bulan baru itu, sebab hatinya susah dan gelisah karena bapaknya sudah menghina dan ingin membunuh Daud.
35 And when the morning had begun to dawn, Jonathan went into the field according to the agreement with David, and a young boy was with him.
Keesokan paginya, Yonatan keluar ke padang bersama budaknya, seorang anak laki-laki muda, sesuai dengan janjinya kepada Daud.
36 And he said to his boy, “Go, and bring to me the arrows that I shoot.” And when the boy had run, he shot another arrow away from the boy.
Berkatalah Yonatan kepada budaknya, “Larilah dan carilah anak-anak panah yang kupanahkan itu.” Ketika budaknya sedang berlari, Yonatan melepaskan anak panah yang lebih jauh lagi melewati budaknya itu.
37 And so, the boy went to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot. And Jonathan cried out, from behind the back of boy, and said: “Behold, the arrow is there, farther away from you.”
Ketika budak itu mendekati tempat jatuhnya anak-anak panah itu, maka Yonatan berseru, “Bukankah anak panah itu berada lebih jauh ke sana?”
38 And Jonathan cried out again, from behind the back of the boy, saying, “Go quickly! Do not stand still!” Then Jonathan’s boy collected the arrows, and he brought them to his lord.
Lalu Yonatan berseru lagi, “Ayo cepat! Jangan hanya berdiri saja!” Lalu budak itu mengambil anak-anak panah itu dan berlari kembali untuk menyerahkannya kepada tuannya.
39 And he did not understand at all what was happening. For only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Tetapi budaknya itu tidak mengerti apa-apa. Hanya Yonatan dan Daud yang mengetahui arti tanda itu.
40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy, and he said to him, “Go, and carry them into the city.”
Kemudian Yonatan memberikan busur dan anak panahnya kepada budak itu dan berkata, “Pergilah dan bawa kembali ke kota.”
41 And when the boy had gone away, David rose up from his place, which turned toward the south, and falling prone on the ground, he reverenced three times. And kissing one another, they wept together, but David more so.
Sesudah budak itu pergi, Daud muncul dari tempat persembunyiannya, lalu bersujud tiga kali di hadapan Yonatan. Dan mereka berdua saling berpelukan dan menangis bersama, tetapi Daud menangis lebih keras.
42 Then Jonathan said to David: “Go in peace. And let us both keep all that we have ever sworn in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘May the Lord be between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, even forever.’” And David rose up and went away. But Jonathan entered into the city.
Lalu Yonatan berkata kepada Daud, “Pergilah dengan perasaan tenang, sebab kita sudah bersumpah di hadapan TUHAN dengan berkata, ‘Semoga TUHAN senantiasa menjaga hubungan kita, dan keturunan kita sampai selama-lamanya.’” Sesudah itu, Daud pergi, dan Yonatan kembali ke kota.
