2 Samuel 5

1 All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and told him, “We are your flesh and blood.

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

2 Previously when Saul was our king, you were the one who led the Israelite army into battle. The Lord told you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be their ruler.’”

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 All the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where King David made an agreement with them in the Lord's presence. Then they anointed him king of 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 when he became king, and he reigned for forty years.

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

5 He reigned over Judah seven years and six months from Hebron, and he reigned over all of Israel and Judah for thirty-three years from Jerusalem.

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 David the king and his men went to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites who were living there. The Jebusites told David: “You'll never enter here. Even the blind and lame could stop you.” They were convinced that David could not get in.

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 did capture the fortress of Zion, now known as the City of David.

Tetapi Daud merebut kubu pertahanan Sion, yaitu kota Daud.

8 At that time he said, “If we are to successfully conquer the Jebusites we'll have to go up the water shaft to attack these ‘lame and blind’ —these people who hate David. This is why it's said, ‘The blind and the lame will never enter 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 David went and lived in the fortress, and named it the City of David. He extended it in all directions, starting from the outer supporting terraces and moving inwards.

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

10 David became increasingly powerful, for the Lord God Almighty was with him.

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

11 King Hiram of Tyre sent representatives to David, together with cedar timber, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.

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

12 David realized that the Lord had installed him as king of Israel, and had made his kingdom great for the sake 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 After he moved from Hebron, David added more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and he had more sons and daughters.

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 These are the names of his children born in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

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

15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,

16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.

Elisama, Elyada dan Elifelet.

17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king of Israel, the whole Philistine army came out to capture him, but David found out and went inside 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 The Philistines came and spread out across the Valley of Rephaim.

Ketika orang Filistin itu datang dan memencar di lembah Refaim,

19 David asked the Lord “Should I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” “Yes, go,” the Lord replied, “for I will definitely hand them over to you.”

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 David went to Baal-perazim and he defeated the Philistines there. “Like a flood that bursts out, so the Lord has burst out against my enemies right before me,” David declared. So he named 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 The Philistines left their idols behind, and David and his men removed them.

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

22 A while later the Philistines came again and spread out across the Valley of Rephaim.

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

23 David asked the Lord what to do. The Lord replied, “Don't attack them directly, but go round behind them and attack them in front of the balsam 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 Immediately you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees be ready, because this means the Lord has marched out before you to attack the Philistine camp.”

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 David followed the Lord's orders, and he slaughtered the Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.

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