2 Samuel 1
1 After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites. He stayed in Ziklag for two days.
Setelah Daud mengejar dan membunuh orang-orang Amalek yang sudah menjarah Ziklag, dia kembali dan tinggal di Ziklag selama dua hari tanpa mendengar berita tentang Saul maupun tentang pertempuran melawan pasukan Filistin.
2 Then on the third day a man arrived from Saul's camp. His clothes were torn and he had dust on his head. When he approached David, he bowed before him, and fell to the ground in respect.
Pada hari ketiga, datanglah seseorang dari perkemahan pasukan Saul. Dia sudah merobek pakaiannya dan menaburkan tanah di kepalanya sebagai tanda berkabung. Setibanya di hadapan Daud, dia bersujud memberi hormat.
3 “Where have you come from?” David asked him. “I got away from the Israelite camp,” he replied.
Lalu Daud bertanya kepadanya, “Kamu dari mana?” Jawabnya, “Dari perkemahan pasukan Israel. Hamba berhasil meloloskan diri dari serbuan orang Filistin di sana.”
4 “Tell me what happened,” David asked. “The army ran away from the battle,” the man replied. “Many of them died, and Saul and his son Jonathan also died.”
Tanya Daud kepadanya, “Apa yang terjadi dalam pertempuran itu? Beritahu saya!” Jawab orang itu, “Pasukan Israel melarikan diri dari pertempuran dan banyak yang terbunuh, bahkan Saul dan Yonatan mati!”
5 “How do you know Saul and Jonathan died?” David asked the man giving the report.
Berkatalah Daud kepada orang itu, “Bagaimana kamu tahu bahwa Saul dan putranya sudah mati?”
6 “I just happened to be there on Mount Gilboa,” he replied. “I saw Saul, leaning on his spear, with the enemy chariots and the charioteers advancing on him.
Jawab orang itu, “Kebetulan hamba berada di gunung Gilboa dan melihat Saul bersandar pada tombaknya, sementara kereta-kereta kuda dan pasukan penunggang kuda musuh sedang mendekatinya.
7 He turned around and saw me. He called out and I replied, ‘I'm here to help!’
Ketika Saul menoleh ke belakang, dia melihat dan memanggil saya. Lalu saya menjawab, ‘Ya, Tuanku.’
8 He asked me, ‘Who are you?’ I told him, ‘I'm an Amalekite.’
“Dia bertanya, ‘Kamu siapa?’ “Dan saya jawab, ‘Saya orang Amalek.’
9 Then he told me, ‘Please come over here and kill me! I'm in terrible agony but life is still hanging on.’
“Kemudian Saul berkata, ‘Datanglah mendekat dan bunuhlah saya! Saya sudah sekarat, tetapi belum mati juga.’
10 So I went over him and killed him, because I knew that wounded as he was he couldn't last long. I took the crown from his head and his bracelet from his arm, and I've brought them here to you, my lord.”
Jadi hamba membunuhnya, karena hamba tahu dia tidak akan selamat dengan kondisi seperti itu. Kemudian hamba mengambil mahkota dari kepalanya serta gelang di lengannya dan membawanya ke sini kepada Tuanku.”
11 David grabbed hold of his clothes and ripped them, as did his men.
Maka Daud beserta semua pengikutnya merobek pakaian mereka sebagai tanda berkabung.
12 They mourned and cried and fasted until the evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the Lord, the Israelites, that had been killed by the sword.
Mereka meratap, menangis, dan berpuasa sepanjang hari karena kematian Saul, Yonatan, dan begitu banyak pasukan TUHAN, umat Israel.
13 David asked man who brought him the report, “Where are you from?” “I'm the son of a foreigner,” he replied “I'm an Amalekite.”
Lalu tanya Daud kepada pembawa kabar itu, “Dari mana asalmu?” Jawabnya, “Hamba adalah orang Amalek. Ayah hamba seorang perantau yang tinggal di negeri Israel.”
14 “Why weren't you worried about killing the Lord's anointed one?” David asked.
Daud berkata lagi kepadanya, “Mengapa kamu menganggap dirimu pantas membunuh orang yang dipilih TUHAN?!”
15 David called over one of his men and said, “Go ahead, kill him!” So the man cut the Amalekite down and killed him.
Daud pun memanggil salah seorang tentaranya dan berkata, “Bunuh dia!” Maka tentara itu membunuh pembawa kabar tadi.
16 David had told the Amalekite, “Your death is your own fault because you testified against yourself when you said, ‘I killed the Lord's anointed one.’”
Sebelum orang itu dibunuh, Daud berkata kepadanya, “Kamu bertanggung jawab atas kematianmu sendiri, karena kamulah yang mengakui bahwa kamu membunuh orang yang dipilih TUHAN.”
17 Then David sang this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan.
Daud meratapi Saul dan Yonatan dengan menyanyikan lagu perkabungan yang diberinya judul “Busur dan Anak Panah.” Daud juga memerintahkan agar lagu itu diajarkan kepada semua orang di Yehuda. Lagu ini tertulis dalam Kitab Orang-orang Jujur. Inilah kata-kata dalam lagu Daud itu:
18 He ordered it to be taught to the people of Judah. It is called “the Bow” and is recorded in the Book of the Just:
19 “Israel, the glorious one lies dead on your mountains. How the mighty have fallen!
Oh Israel, yang engkau muliakan sudah terbunuh di bukit-bukit! Sudah gugur para pahlawan yang gagah perkasa!
20 Don't announce it in the town of Gath, don't proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, so that the Philistine women won't rejoice, so that the heathen women won't celebrate.
Jangan beritakan kisah itu di Gat, jangan ceritakan di jalan-jalan Askelon, supaya gadis-gadis Filistin tidak bersuka, dan para penyembah berhala tidak bersorak!
21 Mountains of Gilboa, may no dew or rain fall on you! May you have no fields that produce offerings of grain. For it was there that the shield of the mighty was defiled; Saul's shield, no longer cared for with olive oil.
Semoga hujan atau embun tidak turun atas gunung-gunung di Gilboa. Semoga ladang di daerah itu tidak menghasilkan gandum yang dapat dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN! Karena di sanalah perisai-perisai para pahlawan Israel tercampak dengan penuh aib, dan perisai Saul tidak lagi digosok dengan minyak supaya mengkilat.
22 Jonathan with his bow did not retreat from attacking the enemy; Saul with his sword did not return empty-handed from shedding blood.
Pedang Saul dan panah Yonatan tidak pernah gagal membunuh musuh. Senjata-senjata perang mereka selalu berlumur darah dan lemak para pahlawan yang terbunuh.
23 During their lives, Saul and Jonathan were much loved and very pleasant, and death did not divide them. They were faster than eagles, stronger than lions.
Saul dan Yonatan sangat disayangi semasa hidup mereka. Keduanya tak terpisahkan saat hidup maupun mati. Mereka lebih cepat daripada rajawali, lebih kuat daripada singa.
24 Women of Israel, mourn for Saul, who gave you fine scarlet clothes decorated with gold ornaments.
Hai gadis-gadis Israel, ratapilah kematian Saul, yang sudah mengenakan kepada kalian pakaian terbaik dan mewah, yang sudah menghiasi pakaian kalian dengan emas.
25 How the mighty have fallen in battle! Jonathan lies dead on your mountains.
Betapa aku berdukacita karena para pahlawan kita sudah gugur di tengah pertempuran! Yonatan terbunuh di atas bukit-bukit!
26 I weep so much for you, my brother Jonathan! You were so very dear to me! Your love for me was so wonderful, greater than the love women have!
Aku sangat berduka karena engkau, Yonatan, saudaraku! Aku sungguh mengasihimu. Kasih persahabatanmu bagiku melebihi kasih seorang istri.
27 How the mighty have fallen! The weapons of war are gone!”
Betapa para pahlawan Israel sudah gugur! Senjata peperangan mereka terbuang dan tak berguna!
