1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?
Maka larilah Daud dari Nayot dekat Rama dan pergi menemui Yonatan, lalu bertanya, "Apa salahku? Kejahatan apa yang telah kulakukan dan apa dosaku terhadap ayahmu sehingga ia mau membunuhku?"
2 And he said unto him, God forbid; you shall not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
Jawab Yonatan, "Jangan berkata begitu! Demi TUHAN, engkau tidak akan dibunuh. Ayahku selalu memberitahukan segala rencananya kepadaku, baik yang penting, maupun yang tidak. Jadi tidak mungkin beliau merahasiakan maksudnya itu terhadap aku. Sebab itu, apa yang kaukatakan itu tidak benar!"
3 And David swore moreover, and said, Your father certainly knows that I have found grace in your eyes; and he says, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
Daud menjawab, "Ayahmu tahu benar bahwa engkau sayang kepadaku. Jadi pastilah ia tidak mau memberitahukan hal itu kepadamu supaya engkau jangan sedih. Bagaimanapun juga, demi TUHAN yang hidup, sesungguhnyalah hidupku bagaikan telur di ujung tanduk!"
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.
Lalu berkatalah Yonatan, "Apa saja yang kauminta akan kulakukan."
5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at food: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
Daud menjawab, "Begini, besok adalah Pesta Bulan Baru, dan seharusnya aku makan bersama-sama dengan baginda. Tetapi jika engkau setuju, aku akan pergi dan bersembunyi di padang sampai lusa malam.
6 If your father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Jika ayahmu menanyakan mengapa aku tidak hadir, katakanlah kepada beliau, bahwa aku telah memohon izin darimu untuk segera pulang ke Betlehem, karena di sana diadakan upacara kurban tahunan bagi seluruh keluargaku.
7 If he say thus, It is well; your servant shall have peace: but if he be very angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
Jika raja berkata, 'Baiklah,' maka aku akan aman, tetapi jika beliau marah, ketahuilah bahwa beliau sudah mengambil keputusan untuk mencelakakan aku.
8 Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?
Aku minta pertolonganmu, karena kita telah mengikat perjanjian di hadapan TUHAN. Namun jika aku bersalah, bunuhlah aku, tetapi janganlah kauserahkan aku kepada ayahmu."
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from you: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon you, then would not I tell it you?
Jawab Yonatan, "Jangan khawatir! Jika aku tahu dengan pasti bahwa ayahku telah bertekad untuk mencelakakanmu, tentulah akan kuberitahukan kepadamu."
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if your father answer you roughly?
Kemudian Daud bertanya, "Siapakah yang akan memberitahukan kepadaku seandainya ayahmu menjawabmu dengan geram?"
11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
"Marilah kita pergi ke padang," kata Yonatan. Maka pergilah mereka bersama-sama ke padang.
12 And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about tomorrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto you, and show it you;
Lalu Yonatan berkata kepada Daud, "Semoga TUHAN, Allah Israel menjadi saksi kita! Besok pagi atau lusa kira-kira pada waktu seperti sekarang ini, aku akan berusaha mengetahui isi hati ayahku. Jika ia bersikap baik terhadapmu, aku akan mengirim kabar kepadamu.
13 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do you evil, then I will show it you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.
Jika ia berniat mencelakakanmu, pasti akan kuberitahukan kepadamu juga supaya engkau dapat menyelamatkan dirimu. Semoga TUHAN membunuhku kalau hal itu tidak kulakukan. Mudah-mudahan TUHAN menolongmu seperti dia telah ditolongnya juga!
14 And you shall not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
Dan jika aku masih hidup, ingatlah perjanjian kita di hadapan TUHAN dan setialah kepadaku; tetapi jika aku sudah tiada,
15 But also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
tunjukkanlah kesetiaanmu kepada keturunanku untuk selama-lamanya. Dan apabila TUHAN membinasakan semua musuhmu,
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
janganlah perjanjian antara kita berdua terputus. Jika sampai terputus, Tuhanlah yang akan menghukummu."
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Jadi untuk kedua kalinya Yonatan menyuruh Daud berjanji akan mengasihi dia, sebab ia mengasihi Daud seperti dirinya sendiri.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you shall be missed, because your seat will be empty.
Kemudian berkatalah Yonatan kepadanya, "Besok Pesta Bulan Baru. Pasti akan ketahuan bahwa engkau tidak hadir, sebab tempatmu kosong pada meja makan;
19 And when you have stayed three days, then you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
apalagi lusa! Sebab itu, pergilah ke tempat persembunyianmu yang dahulu itu, dan tunggulah di belakang timbunan batu di situ.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
Lusa aku akan melepaskan tiga anak panah ke arah batu itu, seakan-akan membidik sasaran.
21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them; then come you: for there is peace to you, and no hurt; as the LORD lives.
Lalu akan kusuruh budakku memungut panah-panah itu, dan jika aku berkata kepadanya, 'Ai, panah itu lebih dekat lagi ke mari; ambillah,' itu berarti bahwa engkau aman dan boleh keluar. Aku bersumpah demi TUHAN yang hidup bahwa engkau tidak dalam bahaya apa pun.
22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way: for the LORD has sent you away.
Tetapi jika aku berkata kepada budakku, 'Ai, panah itu lebih jauh lagi ke sana,' itu berarti TUHAN menyuruh engkau pergi; jadi pergilah.
23 And as concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between you and me for ever.
Semoga TUHAN menjaga agar kita selamanya memegang perjanjian antara kita berdua."
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food.
Maka bersembunyilah Daud di padang. Pada Pesta Bulan Baru, Raja Saul datang ke perjamuan.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
Seperti biasanya dia duduk dekat dinding; Yonatan mengambil tempat di hadapannya, Abner di sebelah Saul, tetapi kursi Daud tetap kosong.
26 Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something has befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
Tetapi Saul tidak menyinggung keadaan itu pada hari itu, sebab pikirnya, "Barangkali ia mengalami sesuatu hal, sehingga ia tidak bersih menurut agama."
27 And it came to pass on the next day, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore comes not the son of Jesse to food, neither yesterday, nor to day?
Pada hari berikutnya, yaitu hari kedua Bulan Baru, kursi Daud masih kosong juga, lalu bertanyalah Saul kepada Yonatan, "Mengapa kemarin dan hari ini Daud tidak hadir pada perjamuan?"
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
Yonatan menjawab, "Ia telah minta izin kepadaku untuk pergi ke Betlehem.
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brethren. Therefore he comes not unto the king's table.
Katanya, 'Izinkanlah aku pergi, karena keluargaku sedang merayakan pesta kurban di Betlehem, dan aku disuruh datang oleh abangku. Sebab itu, jika kauizinkan, biar aku pergi untuk bertemu dengan sanak saudaraku.' Itulah sebabnya ia tidak hadir pada perjamuan ini, Ayah."
30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, You son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own confusion, and unto the confusion of your mother's nakedness?
Mendengar itu Saul menjadi marah sekali kepada Yonatan dan berkata kepadanya, "Anak haram jadah! Sekarang aku tahu bahwa engkau memihak kepada Daud dan membuat malu dirimu serta ibumu!
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the ground, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
Tidak sadarkah engkau bahwa selama Daud hidup engkau tidak akan mungkin menjadi raja atas negeri ini? Sekarang suruhlah orang mencari dia dan membawanya kemari, sebab dia harus mati!"
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what has he done?
Maka jawab Yonatan, "Mengapa ia harus mati? Dosanya apa?"
33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to strike him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
Mendengar itu Saul melemparkan tombaknya kepada Yonatan hendak membunuhnya. Maka tahulah Yonatan bahwa ayahnya memang sungguh-sungguh berniat hendak membunuh Daud.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Dengan marah sekali Yonatan meninggalkan meja perjamuan dan ia tidak makan apa-apa pada hari kedua Pesta Bulan Baru itu. Ia sangat prihatin memikirkan Daud yang telah dihina oleh Saul ayahnya.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
Keesokan harinya Yonatan pergi ke padang untuk bertemu dengan Daud seperti yang telah mereka rencanakan bersama. Ia membawa seorang anak laki-laki, budaknya,
36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
lalu berkata kepadanya, "Ayo, pungutlah panah-panah yang akan kupanahkan." Sedang anak itu berlari, Yonatan memanahkan sebuah panah melewati anak itu.
37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond you?
Ketika anak itu sampai ke tempat jatuhnya panah itu, Yonatan berseru kepadanya, "Ai, panah itu lebih jauh lagi ke sana!
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Cepat sedikit, jangan melamun!" Anak itu memungut panah itu dan kembali kepada tuannya.
39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Ia sama sekali tidak mengerti maksud kata-kata Yonatan itu, hanya Yonatan dengan Daudlah yang mengerti.
40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
Kemudian Yonatan memberikan alat pemanahnya kepada anak itu dan menyuruh dia kembali ke kota.
41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
Setelah anak itu pergi, Daud keluar dari belakang timbunan batu itu, lalu sujud tiga kali. Baik dia maupun Yonatan, kedua-duanya menangis ketika mereka saling berciuman. Kesedihan Daud lebih besar daripada kesedihan Yonatan.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
Kemudian berkatalah Yonatan kepada Daud, "Semoga Allah menolongmu. TUHAN akan menjamin bahwa kita dan keturunan kita selalu memegang perjanjian kita berdua di hadapan Allah." Setelah itu pergilah Daud, dan Yonatan pun pulang ke kota.
