2 Samuel 21
1 Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of YHWH. And YHWH answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
Dalam zaman Daud terjadilah kelaparan selama tiga tahun berturut-turut, lalu Daud pergi menanyakan petunjuk TUHAN. Berfirmanlah TUHAN: "Pada Saul dan keluarganya melekat hutang darah, karena ia telah membunuh orang-orang Gibeon."
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
Lalu raja memanggil orang-orang Gibeon dan berkata kepada mereka, --orang-orang Gibeon itu tidak termasuk orang Israel, tetapi termasuk sisa-sisa orang Amori dan walaupun orang Israel telah bersumpah kepada mereka, Saul berikhtiar membasmi mereka dalam kegiatannya untuk kepentingan orang Israel dan Yehuda, --
3 Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of YHWH?
Daud berkata kepada orang-orang Gibeon itu: "Apakah yang dapat kuperbuat bagimu dan dengan apakah dapat kuadakan penebusan, supaya kamu memberkati milik pusaka TUHAN?"
4 And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.
Lalu berkatalah orang-orang Gibeon itu kepadanya: "Bukanlah perkara emas dan perak urusan kami dengan Saul serta keluarganya, juga bukanlah urusan kami untuk membunuh seseorang di antara orang Israel." Tetapi kata Daud: "Apakah yang kamu kehendaki akan kuperbuat bagimu?"
5 And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,
Sesudah itu berkatalah mereka kepada raja: "Dari orang yang hendak membinasakan kami dan yang bermaksud memunahkan kami, sehingga kami tidak mendapat tempat di manapun di daerah Israel,
6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto YHWH in Gibeah of Saul, whom YHWH did choose. And the king said, I will give them.
biarlah diserahkan tujuh orang anaknya laki-laki kepada kami, supaya kami menggantung mereka di hadapan TUHAN di Gibeon, di bukit TUHAN." Lalu berkatalah raja: "Aku akan menyerahkan mereka."
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of YHWH 's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Tetapi raja merasa sayang kepada Mefiboset bin Yonatan bin Saul, karena sumpah demi TUHAN ada di antara mereka, di antara Daud dan Yonatan bin Saul.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
Lalu raja mengambil kedua anak laki-laki Rizpa binti Aya, yang dilahirkannya bagi Saul, yakni Armoni dan Mefiboset, dan kelima anak laki-laki Merab binti Saul, yang dilahirkannya bagi Adriel bin Barzilai, orang Mehola itu,
9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before YHWH: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.
kemudian diserahkannyalah mereka ke dalam tangan orang-orang Gibeon itu. Orang-orang ini menggantung mereka di atas bukit, di hadapan TUHAN. Ketujuh orang itu tewas bersama-sama. Mereka telah dihukum mati pada awal musim menuai, pada permulaan musim menuai jelai.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Lalu Rizpa binti Aya mengambil kain karung, dan membentangkannya bagi dirinya di atas gunung batu, dari permulaan musim menuai sampai tercurah air dari langit ke atas mayat mereka; ia tidak membiarkan burung-burung di udara mendatangi mayat mereka pada siang hari, ataupun binatang-binatang di hutan pada malam hari.
11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Ketika diberitahukan kepada Daud apa yang diperbuat Rizpa binti Aya, gundik Saul itu,
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
maka pergilah Daud mengambil tulang-tulang Saul dan tulang-tulang Yonatan, anaknya, dari warga-warga kota Yabesh-Gilead, yang telah mencuri tulang-tulang itu dari tanah lapang di Bet-San, tempat orang Filistin menggantung mereka, ketika orang Filistin memukul Saul kalah di Gilboa.
13 And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
Ia membawa dari sana tulang-tulang Saul dan tulang-tulang Yonatan, anaknya. Dikumpulkanlah juga tulang-tulang orang-orang yang digantung tadi,
14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that Elohim was intreated for the land.
lalu dikuburkan bersama-sama tulang-tulang Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, di tanah Benyamin, di Zela, di dalam kubur Kish, ayahnya. Orang melakukan segala sesuatu yang diperintahkan raja, maka sesudah itu Allah mengabulkan doa untuk negeri itu.
15 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
Ketika terjadi lagi peperangan antara orang Filistin dan orang Israel, maka berangkatlah Daud bersama-sama dengan orang-orangnya, lalu berperang melawan orang Filistin, sampai Daud menjadi letih lesu.
16 And Ishbi-benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
Yisbi-Benob, yang termasuk keturunan raksasa--berat tombaknya tiga ratus syikal tembaga dan ia menyandang pedang yang baru--menyangka dapat menewaskan Daud.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.
Tetapi Abisai, anak Zeruya, datang menolong Daud, lalu merobohkan dan membunuh orang Filistin itu. Pada waktu itu orang-orang Daud memohon dengan sangat kepadanya, kata mereka: "Janganlah lagi engkau maju berperang bersama-sama dengan kami, supaya keturunan Israel jangan punah bersama-sama engkau."
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
Sesudah itu terjadi lagi pertempuran melawan orang Filistin di Gob; pada waktu itu Sibkhai, orang Husa, memukul kalah Saf, yang termasuk keturunan raksasa.
19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
Dan terjadi lagi pertempuran melawan orang Filistin, di Gob; Elhanan bin Yaare-Oregim, orang Betlehem itu, menewaskan Goliat, orang Gat itu, yang gagang tombaknya seperti pesa tukang tenun.
20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
Lalu terjadi lagi pertempuran di Gat; dan di sana ada seorang yang tinggi perawakannya, yang tangannya dan kakinya masing-masing berjari enam: dua puluh empat seluruhnya; juga orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa.
21 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him.
Ia mengolok-olok orang Israel, maka Yonatan, anak Simea kakak Daud, menewaskannya.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Keempat orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa di Gat; mereka tewas oleh tangan Daud dan oleh tangan orang-orangnya.
