1 Samuel 30

1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

Ketika Daud serta orang-orangnya sampai ke Ziklag pada hari yang ketiga, orang Amalek telah menyerbu Tanah Negeb dan Ziklag; Ziklag telah dikalahkan oleh mereka dan dibakar habis.

2 and had taken captive the women and all that were therein, both small and great; they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.

Perempuan-perempuan dan semua orang yang ada di sana, tua dan muda, telah ditawan mereka, dengan tidak membunuh seorangpun; mereka menggiring sekaliannya, kemudian meneruskan perjalanannya.

3 And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

Ketika Daud dan orang-orangnya sampai ke kota itu, tampaklah kota itu terbakar habis, dan isteri mereka serta anak mereka yang laki-laki dan perempuan telah ditawan.

4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

Lalu menangislah Daud dan rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia itu dengan nyaring, sampai mereka tidak kuat lagi menangis.

5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

Juga kedua isteri Daud ditawan, yakni Ahinoam, perempuan Yizreel, dan Abigail, bekas isteri Nabal, orang Karmel itu.

6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

Dan Daud sangat terjepit, karena rakyat mengatakan hendak melempari dia dengan batu. Seluruh rakyat itu telah pedih hati, masing-masing karena anaknya laki-laki dan perempuan. Tetapi Daud menguatkan kepercayaannya kepada TUHAN, Allahnya.

7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech: 'I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod.' And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

Lalu Daud memberi perintah kepada imam Abyatar bin Ahimelekh: "Bawalah efod itu kepadaku." Maka Abyatar membawa efod itu kepada Daud.

8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them?' And He answered him: 'Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all.'

Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN, katanya: "Haruskah aku mengejar gerombolan itu? Akan dapatkah mereka kususul?" Dan Ia berfirman kepadanya: "Kejarlah, sebab sesungguhnya, engkau akan dapat menyusul mereka dan melepaskan para tawanan."

9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.

Lalu pergilah Daud beserta keenam ratus orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dan sampailah mereka ke sungai Besor. Sementara orang-orang yang mau tinggal di belakang berhenti di sana,

10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

maka Daud melanjutkan pengejaran itu beserta empat ratus orang. Dua ratus orang yang terlalu lelah untuk menyeberangi sungai Besor itu, berhenti di sana.

11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink;

Kemudian mereka menemui seorang Mesir di padang lalu membawanya kepada Daud. Mereka memberi dia roti, lalu makanlah ia, kemudian mereka memberi dia minum air,

12 and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came back to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

dan memberikan kepadanya sepotong kue ara dan dua buah kue kismis, dan setelah dimakannya, ia segar kembali, sebab ia tidak makan dan minum selama tiga hari tiga malam.

13 And David said unto him: 'To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou?' And he said: 'I am a young Egyptian, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.

Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepadanya: "Budak siapakah engkau dan dari manakah engkau?" Jawabnya: "Aku ini seorang pemuda Mesir, budak kepunyaan seorang Amalek. Tuanku meninggalkan aku, karena tiga hari yang lalu aku jatuh sakit.

14 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.'

Kami telah menyerbu Tanah Negeb orang Kreti dan daerah Yehuda dan Tanah Negeb Kaleb, dan Ziklag telah kami bakar habis."

15 And David said to him: 'Wilt thou bring me down to this troop?' And he said: 'Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.'

Daud bertanya kepadanya: "Dapatkah engkau menunjuk jalan kepadaku ke gerombolan itu?" Katanya: "Bersumpahlah kepadaku demi Allah, bahwa engkau tidak akan membunuh aku, dan tidak akan menyerahkan aku ke dalam tangan tuanku itu, maka aku akan menunjuk jalan kepadamu ke gerombolan itu."

16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

Ia menunjuk jalan kepada Daud ke sana, dan tampaklah orang-orang itu berpencar-pencar di atas seluruh daerah itu, sambil makan, minum dan mengadakan perayaan karena jarahan yang besar, yang telah dirampas mereka dari tanah orang Filistin dan dari tanah Yehuda.

17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled.

Dan pada keesokan harinya Daud menghancurkan mereka dari pagi-pagi buta sampai matahari terbenam; tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang lolos, kecuali empat ratus orang muda yang melarikan diri dengan menunggang unta.

18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.

Daud melepaskan semua apa yang dirampas oleh orang Amalek itu; juga kedua isterinya dapat dilepaskan Daud.

19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them; David brought back all.

Tidak ada yang hilang pada mereka, dari hal yang kecil sampai hal yang besar, sampai anak laki-laki dan anak perempuan, dan dari jarahan sampai segala sesuatu yang telah dirampas mereka; semuanya itu dibawa Daud kembali.

20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said: 'This is David's spoil.'

Daud mengambil segala kambing domba dan lembu; semuanya itu digiring mereka di hadapannya, serta berkata: "Inilah jarahan Daud."

21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.

Ketika Daud sampai kepada kedua ratus orang yang telah terlalu lelah untuk mengikuti Daud, yang telah dibiarkannya tinggal di dekat sungai Besor, maka keluarlah orang-orang ini menyongsong Daud dan menyongsong rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia. Daud mendekati orang-orang itu dan memberi salam kepada mereka.

22 Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said: 'Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.'

Kemudian mulailah berbicara semua orang jahat dan orang dursila di antara orang-orang, yang ikut pergi bersama-sama dengan Daud itu, katanya: "Karena mereka tidak ikut pergi bersama-sama dengan kita, janganlah kita berikan kepada mereka apa-apa dari jarahan yang kita selamatkan itu, kecuali kepada masing-masing mereka isterinya dan anak-anaknya. Itu boleh mereka bawa, dan biarlah mereka pergi!"

23 Then said David: 'Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.

Tetapi Daud berkata: "Janganlah kamu, saudara-saudaraku, berbuat demikian, dengan apa yang diberikan TUHAN kepada kita; sebab Ia telah melindungi kita, dan menyerahkan ke dalam tangan kita gerombolan yang menyerang kita.

24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as is the share of him that goeth down to the battle, so shall be the share of him that tarrieth by the baggage; they shall share alike.'

Siapa yang mau mendengarkan kamu dalam perkara ini? Sebab, bagian orang yang tinggal di dekat barang-barang adalah sama seperti bagian orang yang pergi berperang; itu akan dibagi sama-sama."

25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

Dan demikianlah halnya sejak hari itu dan seterusnya; hal itu ditentukannya menjadi ketetapan dan peraturan bagi orang Israel sampai sekarang.

26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying: 'Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD';

Ketika Daud sampai ke Ziklag, dikirimnyalah sebagian dari jarahan itu kepada para tua-tua di Yehuda, kepada teman-temannya, dengan pesan: "Inilah pemberian kepadamu dari jarahan yang dirampas dari musuh TUHAN,"

27 to them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir;

yakni kepada yang di Betel, kepada yang di Ramot di Tanah Selatan, kepada yang di Yatir,

28 and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in Eshtemoa;

kepada yang di Aroer, kepada yang di Sifmot, kepada yang di Estemoa,

29 and to them that were in Racal, and to them that were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them that were in the cities of the Kenites;

kepada yang di Rakhal, kepada yang di kota-kota orang Yerahmeel, kepada yang di kota-kota orang Keni,

30 and to them that were in Hormah, and to them that were in Bor-ashan, and to them that were in Athach;

kepada yang di Horma, kepada yang di Bor-Asan, kepada yang di Atakh,

31 and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.

kepada yang di Hebron dan kepada segala tempat di mana Daud dengan orang-orangnya mengembara.
