2 Samuel 5

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

Lalu datanglah segala suku Israel kepada Daud di Hebron dan berkata: "Ketahuilah, kami ini darah dagingmu.

2 Even aforetime, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.

Telah lama, ketika Saul memerintah atas kami, engkaulah yang memimpin segala gerakan orang Israel. Dan TUHAN telah berfirman kepadamu: Engkaulah yang harus menggembalakan umat-Ku Israel, dan engkaulah yang menjadi raja atas Israel."

3 And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel.

Maka datanglah semua tua-tua Israel menghadap raja di Hebron, lalu raja Daud mengadakan perjanjian dengan mereka di Hebron di hadapan TUHAN; kemudian mereka mengurapi Daud menjadi raja atas Israel.

4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.

Daud berumur tiga puluh tahun, pada waktu ia menjadi raja; empat puluh tahun lamanya ia memerintah.

5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

Di Hebron ia memerintah atas Yehuda tujuh tahun enam bulan, dan di Yerusalem ia memerintah tiga puluh tiga tahun atas seluruh Israel dan Yehuda.

6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; and they spoke to David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither, but the blind and the lame will drive thee back; as much as to say, David will not come in hither.

Lalu raja dengan orang-orangnya pergi ke Yerusalem, menyerang orang Yebus, penduduk negeri itu. Mereka itu berkata kepada Daud: "Engkau tidak sanggup masuk ke mari; orang-orang buta dan orang-orang timpang akan mengenyahkan engkau!" Maksud mereka: Daud tidak sanggup masuk ke mari.

7 But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.

Tetapi Daud merebut kubu pertahanan Sion, yaitu kota Daud.

8 And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites and gets up to the watercourse, and the lame and the blind hated of David's soul...! Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

Daud telah berkata pada waktu itu: "Siapa yang hendak memukul kalah orang Yebus, haruslah ia masuk melalui saluran air itu; hati Daud benci kepada orang-orang timpang dan orang-orang buta." Sebab itu orang berkata: "Orang-orang buta dan orang-orang timpang tidak boleh masuk bait."

9 So David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from the Millo and inward.

Dan Daud menetap di kubu pertahanan itu dan menamainya: Kota Daud. Ia memperkuatnya sekelilingnya, mulai dari Milo ke bagian dalam.

10 And David became continually greater; and Jehovah the God of hosts was with him.

Lalu makin lama makin besarlah kuasa Daud, sebab TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, menyertainya.

11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.

Hiram, raja negeri Tirus, mengirim utusan kepada Daud dan kayu alas, tukang-tukang kayu dan tukang-tukang batu; mereka mendirikan istana bagi Daud.

12 And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom because of his people Israel.

Lalu tahulah Daud, bahwa TUHAN telah menegakkan dia sebagai raja atas Israel dan telah mengangkat martabat pemerintahannya oleh karena Israel, umat-Nya.

13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

Daud mengambil lagi beberapa gundik dan isteri dari Yerusalem, setelah ia datang dari Hebron dan bagi Daud masih lahir lagi anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan.

14 And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

Inilah nama anak-anak yang lahir bagi dia di Yerusalem: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,

15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,

16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.

Elisama, Elyada dan Elifelet.

17 And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went down to the stronghold.

Ketika didengar orang Filistin, bahwa Daud telah diurapi menjadi raja atas Israel, maka majulah semua orang Filistin untuk menangkap Daud. Tetapi Daud mendengar hal itu, lalu ia pergi ke kubu pertahanan.

18 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

Ketika orang Filistin itu datang dan memencar di lembah Refaim,

19 And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.

bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN: "Apakah aku harus maju melawan orang Filistin itu? Akan Kauserahkankah mereka ke dalam tanganku?" TUHAN menjawab Daud: "Majulah, sebab Aku pasti akan menyerahkan orang Filistin itu ke dalam tanganmu."

20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah has broken in upon mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

Lalu datanglah Daud di Baal-Perasim dan memukul mereka kalah di sana. Berkatalah ia: "TUHAN telah menerobos musuhku di depanku seperti air menerobos." Sebab itu orang menamakan tempat itu Baal-Perasim.

21 And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

Orang Filistin itu meninggalkan berhalanya di sana, lalu Daud dan orang-orangnya mengangkatnya.

22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

Ketika orang Filistin maju sekali lagi dan memencar di lembah Refaim,

23 And David inquired of Jehovah; and he said, Thou shalt not go up; turn round behind them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.

maka bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN, dan Ia menjawab: "Janganlah maju, tetapi buatlah gerakan lingkaran sampai ke belakang mereka, sehingga engkau dapat menyerang mereka dari jurusan pohon-pohon kertau.

24 And it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then will Jehovah have gone forth before thee, to smite the army of the Philistines.

Dan bila engkau mendengar bunyi derap langkah di puncak pohon-pohon kertau itu, maka haruslah engkau bertindak cepat, sebab pada waktu itu TUHAN telah keluar berperang di depanmu untuk memukul kalah tentara orang Filistin."

25 And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gezer.

Dan Daud berbuat demikian, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya, maka ia memukul kalah orang Filistin, mulai dari Geba sampai dekat Gezer.
