2 Samuel 5

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

Lalu datanglah segala suku Israel kepada Daud di Hebron dan berkata: "Ketahuilah, kami ini darah dagingmu.

2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were he that led out and brought in Israel: and the LORD said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be a captain over Israel.

Telah lama, ketika Saul memerintah atas kami, engkaulah yang memimpin segala gerakan orang Israel. Dan TUHAN telah berfirman kepadamu: Engkaulah yang harus menggembalakan umat-Ku Israel, dan engkaulah yang menjadi raja atas Israel."

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.

Maka datanglah semua tua-tua Israel menghadap raja di Hebron, lalu raja Daud mengadakan perjanjian dengan mereka di Hebron di hadapan TUHAN; kemudian mereka mengurapi Daud menjadi raja atas Israel.

4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

Daud berumur tiga puluh tahun, pada waktu ia menjadi raja; empat puluh tahun lamanya ia memerintah.

5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

Di Hebron ia memerintah atas Yehuda tujuh tahun enam bulan, dan di Yerusalem ia memerintah tiga puluh tiga tahun atas seluruh Israel dan Yehuda.

6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spoke unto David, saying, Except you take away the blind and the lame, you shall not come in here: thinking, David cannot come in here.

Lalu raja dengan orang-orangnya pergi ke Yerusalem, menyerang orang Yebus, penduduk negeri itu. Mereka itu berkata kepada Daud: "Engkau tidak sanggup masuk ke mari; orang-orang buta dan orang-orang timpang akan mengenyahkan engkau!" Maksud mereka: Daud tidak sanggup masuk ke mari.

7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

Tetapi Daud merebut kubu pertahanan Sion, yaitu kota Daud.

8 And David said on that day, Whosoever gets up to the watercourse, and strikes the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

Daud telah berkata pada waktu itu: "Siapa yang hendak memukul kalah orang Yebus, haruslah ia masuk melalui saluran air itu; hati Daud benci kepada orang-orang timpang dan orang-orang buta." Sebab itu orang berkata: "Orang-orang buta dan orang-orang timpang tidak boleh masuk bait."

9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

Dan Daud menetap di kubu pertahanan itu dan menamainya: Kota Daud. Ia memperkuatnya sekelilingnya, mulai dari Milo ke bagian dalam.

10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.

Lalu makin lama makin besarlah kuasa Daud, sebab TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, menyertainya.

11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and stone workers: and they built David an house.

Hiram, raja negeri Tirus, mengirim utusan kepada Daud dan kayu alas, tukang-tukang kayu dan tukang-tukang batu; mereka mendirikan istana bagi Daud.

12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

Lalu tahulah Daud, bahwa TUHAN telah menegakkan dia sebagai raja atas Israel dan telah mengangkat martabat pemerintahannya oleh karena Israel, umat-Nya.

13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

Daud mengambil lagi beberapa gundik dan isteri dari Yerusalem, setelah ia datang dari Hebron dan bagi Daud masih lahir lagi anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan.

14 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

Inilah nama anak-anak yang lahir bagi dia di Yerusalem: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,

15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,

16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

Elisama, Elyada dan Elifelet.

17 But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.

Ketika didengar orang Filistin, bahwa Daud telah diurapi menjadi raja atas Israel, maka majulah semua orang Filistin untuk menangkap Daud. Tetapi Daud mendengar hal itu, lalu ia pergi ke kubu pertahanan.

18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

Ketika orang Filistin itu datang dan memencar di lembah Refaim,

19 And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? will you deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.

bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN: "Apakah aku harus maju melawan orang Filistin itu? Akan Kauserahkankah mereka ke dalam tanganku?" TUHAN menjawab Daud: "Majulah, sebab Aku pasti akan menyerahkan orang Filistin itu ke dalam tanganmu."

20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David stroke them there, and said, The LORD has broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.

Lalu datanglah Daud di Baal-Perasim dan memukul mereka kalah di sana. Berkatalah ia: "TUHAN telah menerobos musuhku di depanku seperti air menerobos." Sebab itu orang menamakan tempat itu Baal-Perasim.

21 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

Orang Filistin itu meninggalkan berhalanya di sana, lalu Daud dan orang-orangnya mengangkatnya.

22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

Ketika orang Filistin maju sekali lagi dan memencar di lembah Refaim,

23 And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, You shall not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry trees.

maka bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN, dan Ia menjawab: "Janganlah maju, tetapi buatlah gerakan lingkaran sampai ke belakang mereka, sehingga engkau dapat menyerang mereka dari jurusan pohon-pohon kertau.

24 And let it be, when you hear the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall bestir yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before you, to strike the host of the Philistines.

Dan bila engkau mendengar bunyi derap langkah di puncak pohon-pohon kertau itu, maka haruslah engkau bertindak cepat, sebab pada waktu itu TUHAN telah keluar berperang di depanmu untuk memukul kalah tentara orang Filistin."

25 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and stroke the Philistines from Geba until you come to Gazer.

Dan Daud berbuat demikian, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya, maka ia memukul kalah orang Filistin, mulai dari Geba sampai dekat Gezer.
