1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongs to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
Lalu bangsa Filistin mengumpulkan pasukan mereka untuk berperang melawan bangsa Israel. Mereka bersiap-siap untuk menyerang kota Soko di tanah Yehuda. Perkemahan mereka dimulai dari kota Soko dan sampai di kota Azeka, yang berada di wilayah bernama Efes Damim.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Saul juga mengumpulkan tentara Israel dan berkemah di lembah Elah. Mereka bersiap-siap untuk menghadapi pasukan Filistin.
3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
Pasukan Filistin berada di satu bukit dan pasukan Israel berada di bukit sebelahnya, dengan lembah terbentang di antara mereka.
4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
Lalu dari barisan tentara Filistin keluarlah seorang jagoan perang yang bernama Goliat, orang Gat. Tingginya tiga meter.
5 And he had an helmet of brass on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
Dia memakai topi perunggu di kepalanya, dan mengenakan baju zirah yang terbuat dari perunggu. Berat baju itu 57,5 kilogram.
6 And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
Dia memakai pelindung dari perunggu di kakinya dan memanggul sebuah lembing di bahunya.
7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
Gagang tombaknya sebesar balok tukang tenun, dan mata tombak itu beratnya tujuh kilogram. Pembawa perisainya berjalan di depannya.
8 And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
Goliat berdiri dan berteriak kepada pasukan Israel, “Mengapa kalian berdiri saja di barisan perang?! Bukankah saya seorang Filistin dan kalian adalah hamba Saul? Pilihlah seorang dari antara kalian untuk bertarung melawan saya.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall you be our servants, and serve us.
Jikalau dia mampu mengalahkan dan membunuh saya, maka bangsa kami akan menjadi budak kalian. Namun, apabila saya yang mengalahkan dan membunuh dia, maka bangsa kalian yang akan menjadi budak kami.
10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
Saya menantang pasukan Israel hari ini! Berikanlah kepada saya satu orang saja supaya kami dapat bertarung satu lawan satu.”
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Ketika Saul dan seluruh orang Israel mendengar kata-kata Goliat itu, mereka sangat cemas dan ketakutan.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
Daud adalah anak Isai, seorang dari keluarga Efrata yang berasal dari Betlehem, suku Yehuda. Isai mempunyai delapan anak laki-laki. Ketika Saul menjadi raja, usia Isai sudah sangat tua.
13 And the three oldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Tiga anak tertua Isai yang bernama Eliab, Abinadab, dan Syama, pergi berperang bersama Saul. Dan Daud adalah anak bungsu.
14 And David was the youngest: and the three oldest followed Saul.
15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
Daud sering pulang pergi dari perkemahan Saul ke Betlehem untuk menggembalakan kawanan domba bapaknya.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Tetapi setiap pagi dan sore selama empat puluh hari, Goliat masih terus menantang pasukan Israel dengan sangat sombong.
17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of your brothers;
Pada suatu hari Isai berkata kepada Daud, “Anakku, cepat berangkatlah dengan membawa sepuluh kilogram gandum panggang dan sepuluh roti ini kepada kakak-kakakmu di perkemahan.
18 And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and look how your brothers fare, and take their pledge.
Berikanlah juga sepuluh potong keju ini kepada komandan mereka. Lihatlah keadaan kakak-kakakmu lalu pulanglah dengan membawa bukti bahwa kamu sudah bertemu mereka dan mereka dalam keadaan baik-baik.”
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Pada waktu itu Saul beserta pasukan Israel masih berada di lembah Elah dalam keadaan siap berperang melawan orang Filistin.
20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
Keesokan harinya, Daud bangun pagi-pagi dan meninggalkan kawanan dombanya kepada seorang penjaga. Lalu dia pergi membawa makanan itu, seperti yang sudah diperintahkan bapaknya kepadanya. Ketika Daud sampai di perkemahan Israel, pasukan sedang mengatur barisan tempur mereka sambil meneriakkan sorak perang.
21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
Pasukan Israel dan pasukan Filistin itu sudah mengatur barisannya. Mereka saling berhadapan dan siap untuk bertempur.
22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brothers.
Daud menyerahkan makanan itu kepada kepala perbekalan, lalu dia berlari ke medan perang untuk menemui kakak-kakaknya.
23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
Ketika Daud sedang berbicara dengan mereka, keluarlah Goliat tentara Filistin yang jagoan itu. Dia berteriak untuk menghina dan menantang Israel seperti kebiasaannya. Daud juga mendengarnya.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
Ketika pasukan Israel melihat Goliat, mereka mulai lari ketakutan.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
Seorang pasukan Israel berkata, “Sudahkah kamu melihat orang raksasa itu?! Setiap hari dia keluar untuk menghina kita. Raja sudah berjanji bahwa orang yang berhasil membunuhnya akan diberikan kekayaan yang melimpah, dan juga anak perempuan dari Raja Saul menjadi istrinya. Dia dan kaum keluarganya juga akan dibebaskan dari pajak.”
26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
Berkatalah Daud, “Siapakah penyembah berhala itu, sehingga dia dibiarkan untuk terus saja menghina Allah yang hidup serta pasukan-Nya?!” Kemudian dia bertanya kepada orang-orang lain yang berdiri di dekatnya, “Apakah yang akan diberikan kepada orang yang membunuh orang Filistin itu dan menghapus penghinaan terhadap Israel?”
27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that kills him.
Mereka memberi tahu yang sama kepadanya, seperti perkataan yang tadi dia dengar dengan menegaskan, “Ya, hal-hal itulah yang menjadi hadiah bagi orang yang membunuhnya.”
28 And Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why came you down here? and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you are come down that you might see the battle.
Ketika Eliab, kakaknya yang tertua, mendengar Daud berbicara dengan mereka, Eliab menjadi marah kepada Daud lalu berkata, “Mengapa kamu datang ke sini?! Siapa yang menjaga kawanan domba ayah kita itu di padang belantara?! Aku tahu kesombongan dan kejahatan hatimu! Kamu datang ke sini hanya untuk melihat peperangan ini!”
29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
Lalu Daud menjawab, “Apa salahku? Aku hanya bertanya kepada mereka!”
30 And he turned from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
Kemudian Daud meninggalkan Eliab dan mendekati beberapa orang lain. Dia menanyakan hal yang sama dan mendapat jawaban yang sama pula.
31 And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
Akhirnya perkataan Daud itu disampaikan kepada Raja Saul, dan raja pun memanggil Daud.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
Berkatalah Daud kepada Saul, “Janganlah seorang pun yang patah semangat karena Goliat. Hambamu ini akan pergi melawan orang Filistin itu.”
33 And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
Tetapi Saul menjawab, “Tidak mungkin kamu sanggup mengalahkan dia, sebab kamu masih muda, sedangkan dia sudah biasa berperang sejak masa mudanya.”
34 And David said to Saul, Your servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
Lalu Daud berkata kepada Saul, “Hambamu ini sudah biasa menggembalakan kawanan domba ayah saya. Apabila singa atau beruang datang, dan menerkam seekor domba,
35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
maka hamba mengejar dan memukulnya, lalu melepaskan domba itu dari mulutnya. Apabila dia menyerang saya, maka hamba menangkap rahangnya, lalu memukulnya sampai mati.
36 Your servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.
Hamba sudah membunuh singa maupun beruang, dan penyembah berhala itu akan saya perlakukan seperti binatang saja, karena dia sudah menghina Allah yang hidup serta pasukan-Nya.
37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the LORD be with you.
TUHAN yang sudah melepaskan hamba dari cakar singa maupun beruang, juga akan melepaskan hamba dari tangan orang Filistin itu.” Lalu Saul menjawab, “Pergilah, dan semoga TUHAN menyertaimu.”
38 And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass on his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
Lalu Saul mengenakan pakaian perangnya kepada Daud, dan meletakkan topi tembaga di atas kepalanya serta mengenakan baju zirah kepadanya.
39 And David girded his sword on his armor, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
Daud mengikatkan pedangnya di bagian luar pada baju perangnya itu, dan mencoba berjalan beberapa langkah, sebab dia belum pernah memakai pakaian perang. Kemudian berkatalah Daud kepada Saul, “Hamba tidak dapat berjalan dengan pakaian ini, karena hamba belum pernah memakainya.” Lalu Daud melepaskan semua perlengkapan itu.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a money; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
Sesudah itu, Daud mengambil tongkatnya dan pergi ke sungai, memilih lima batu yang licin dan menaruhnya di dalam tasnya. Dengan memegang sebuah umban, dia pergi menuju tempat Goliat berada.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near to David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.
Goliat pun berjalan mendekat ke arah Daud, dan di depannya ada pembawa perisainya.
42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
Goliat memandang lalu menghina dia, karena Daud masih muda, kemerah-merahan, dan elok parasnya.
43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Goliat membentak Daud, “Kamu anggap aku ini anjing, sehingga kamu mendatangi aku dengan membawa sepotong kayu?!” Lalu dia mengutuki Daud atas nama para dewanya.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
Goliat menantang Daud, “Ayo maju! Lawanlah aku dan aku akan memberikan dagingmu kepada burung-burung dan binatang-binatang liar.”
45 Then said David to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Tetapi Daud menjawab, “Kamu mendatangi aku dengan pedang, tombak, dan lembing. Tetapi aku mendatangi kamu atas nama TUHAN Panglima Semesta, yaitu Allah pasukan Israel yang sudah kamu hina itu.
46 This day will the LORD deliver you into my hand; and I will smite you, and take your head from you; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day to the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
Hari ini juga TUHAN akan menyerahkan kamu ke dalam tanganku dan aku akan mengalahkan kamu serta memenggal kepalamu. Mayatmu dan mayat para tentara Filistin akan menjadi makanan burung-burung dan binatang-binatang liar, sehingga seluruh dunia tahu bahwa Israel melayani Allah yang hidup.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands.
Dan setiap tentara yang terkumpul di sini akan mengetahui bahwa TUHAN tidak perlu pedang dan tombak untuk menyelamatkan umat-Nya. Sebab peperangan ini berada dalam kekuasaan TUHAN sendiri. Dia akan menyerahkan semua pasukanmu ke tangan kami.”
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew near to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
Ketika Goliat maju lagi untuk menyerang, Daud berlari dengan cepat untuk menghadapinya.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took there a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth.
Daud mengambil sebuah batu dari dalam tasnya dan memasangnya pada umbannya. Lalu dia mengayunkan umban dan melontarkan batu itu tepat pada sasarannya. Batu itu terbenam di dahi Goliat, sehingga dia terjatuh dengan muka menghadap ke tanah.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
Demikianlah Daud mengalahkan dan membunuh Goliat hanya dengan umban dan sebuah batu, tanpa memegang pedang.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood on the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
Lalu Daud berlari ke tempat Goliat jatuh, mencabut pedang Goliat dari sarungnya, lalu memenggal kepalanya. Ketika pasukan Filistin melihat bahwa pahlawan mereka sudah mati, maka mereka melarikan diri.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until you come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
Pasukan Israel dan Yehuda bersorak-sorai dan mengejar pasukan Filistin sampai dekat kota Gat dan pintu gerbang Ekron. Mayat-mayat orang Filistin tergeletak di sepanjang jalan dari Saaraim sampai ke Gat dan Ekron.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
Sesudah pasukan Israel kembali dari mengejar pasukan musuh, mereka menjarah perkemahan Filistin.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
Daud mengambil kepala Goliat yang dipenggalnya itu dan membawanya ke Yerusalem, sedangkan perlengkapan perang Goliat dia simpan di dalam kemahnya.
55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell.
Saat Saul menyaksikan Daud maju untuk melawan Goliat, berkatalah dia kepada Abner, panglima pasukannya, “Anak siapakah pemuda itu?” Abner menjawab, “Tuanku, sesungguhnya saya juga tidak tahu.”
56 And the king said, Inquire you whose son the stripling is.
Raja memberi perintah, “Carilah informasi dari orang-orang yang mengenalnya: Siapakah bapaknya?”
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Lalu, pada waktu Daud masih memegang kepala Goliat, Abner membawa Daud menghadap Raja Saul.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, you young man? And David answered, I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
Bertanyalah Saul kepada Daud, “Anak siapakah kamu?” Jawab Daud, “Saya anak hambamu Isai, orang Betlehem.”
