Kings I 17
1 And the Philistines gather their armies to battle, and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea, and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.
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 gather together, and they encamp in the valley, 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 stand on the mountain on one side, and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side, and the valley was 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 forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four 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] a helmet upon his head, and he wore a breastplate of chain armor; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron.
Dia memakai topi perunggu di kepalanya, dan mengenakan baju zirah yang terbuat dari perunggu. Berat baju itu 57,5 kilogram.
6 And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs, and a brazen target [was] 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 the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armor-bearer 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 army of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and you Hebrews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, 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 And if he shall be able to fight against me, and shall strike me, then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and strike him, you shall 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, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.
Saya menantang pasukan Israel hari ini! Berikanlah kepada saya satu orang saja supaya kami dapat bertarung satu lawan satu.”
11 And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed, and greatly terrified.
Ketika Saul dan seluruh orang Israel mendengar kata-kata Goliat itu, mereka sangat cemas dan ketakutan.
12 [And David son of an Ephrathite said, this Eplarathite was of Bethleem Juda, and his name was Jessae, and he had eight sons. And the man passed for an old man among men 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 elder sons of Jessae went and followed Saul to the war, and the ] [names of his sons that went to the war were, Eliab his first-born, and his second Aminadab, and his third son Samma. ]
Tiga anak tertua Isai yang bernama Eliab, Abinadab, dan Syama, pergi berperang bersama Saul. Dan Daud adalah anak bungsu.
14 [And David himself ] [was the younger son, and the three elder followed Saul. ]
15 [And David departed and returned from Saul, ] [to feed his father’s sheep in Bethleem; ]
Daud sering pulang pergi dari perkemahan Saul ke Betlehem untuk menggembalakan kawanan domba bapaknya.
16 [And the Philistine advanced morning and evening, and stood up forty days. ]
Tetapi setiap pagi dan sore selama empat puluh hari, Goliat masih terus menantang pasukan Israel dengan sangat sombong.
17 [And Jessae said to David, Take now to your brethren an ephah of this meal, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp and give them to 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 you shall carry to the captain of the thousand ] [these ten cheeses of milk, and you shall see how your brethren fare, and learn what they lack. ]
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 [And Saul himself and all the men of Israel were in the valley of the Oak, warring 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 early in the morning, and left the sheep to a keeper, and took and went as Jessae commanded him, and he came to the trench and to the army as it was going out to fight, and they 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 [And Israel and the Philistines formed their lines one opposite the other. ]
Pasukan Israel dan pasukan Filistin itu sudah mengatur barisannya. Mereka saling berhadapan dan siap untuk bertempur.
22 [And David deposited his burden in the hand of a keeper, and ran to the line, and went and asked his brethren how they Were. ]
Daud menyerahkan makanan itu kepada kepala perbekalan, lalu dia berlari ke medan perang untuk menemui kakak-kakaknya.
23 [And while he was speaking with them, behold the Amessaean advanced, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Geth, of the armies of the Philistines, and he spoke ] [as before, and David heard. ]
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 before him, and they were greatly terrified. ]
Ketika pasukan Israel melihat Goliat, mereka mulai lari ketakutan.
25 [And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that comes up? for he has reproached Israel and has come up; and it shall be that the man who shall strike him, the king shall enrich him with great wealth and shall give him his daughter, and shall 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 who stood with him saying, Shall it indeed be done thus to the man who shall strike that Philistine, and take away reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has defied the army 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 spoke to him according to this Word, saying Thus shall it be done to the man Who shall strike 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 elder brother heard as he spoke to the men, and Eliab was very angry with David and said, Why have you thus come down, 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 to 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 done now? ] [Have I no business here? ]
Lalu Daud menjawab, “Apa salahku? Aku hanya bertanya kepada mereka!”
30 [And he turned from him towards another, and he spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him ] [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 the Words which David spoke were heard and were reported ] [to Saul. And he took him to himself. ]
Akhirnya perkataan Daud itu disampaikan kepada Raja Saul, dan raja pun memanggil Daud.
32 And David said to Saul, Let not, I pray you, the heart of my lord be dejected within 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 will not in anyway be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are a mere 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 was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear, and took a sheep 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 then I went forth after him, and struck him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and struck him, and killed 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 struck both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and strike him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army 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 The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall 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 clothed David with a military coat, and [put] his brazen helmet on his head.
Lalu Saul mengenakan pakaian perangnya kepada Daud, dan meletakkan topi tembaga di atas kepalanya serta mengenakan baju zirah kepadanya.
39 And he girded David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul, I shall not be able to go with these, for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from 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 he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached 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 advanced and drew near to David, and a man bearing his shield went before him, and the Philistine looked on.
Goliat pun berjalan mendekat ke arah Daud, dan di depannya ada pembawa perisainya.
42 And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with 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 as a dog, that you come against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] 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 birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
Goliat menantang Daud, “Ayo maju! Lawanlah aku dan aku akan memberikan dagingmu kepada burung-burung dan binatang-binatang liar.”
45 And David said to the Philistine, You come to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to you in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which 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. And the Lord shall deliver you this day into my hand; and I will kill you, and take away your head from off you, and will give your limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall 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 delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver 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 the Philistine arose and went to meet David.
Ketika Goliat maju lagi untuk menyerang, Daud berlari dengan cepat untuk menghadapinya.
49 And David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.
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 a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him, and 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 And David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and killed him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and 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 Juda arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth, and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Geth, and to Accaron.
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 men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines, and they destroyed their camp.
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 going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abener the captain of the host, Whose son is this youth? and Abener said, As your sould lives, O King, I know not.
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, Do you ask whose son this youth is.
Raja memberi perintah, “Carilah informasi dari orang-orang yang mengenalnya: Siapakah bapaknya?”
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abener took him and brought him before Saul, and the head of the Philistine was 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, young man? and David said, The son of your servant Jessae the Bethleemite.
Bertanyalah Saul kepada Daud, “Anak siapakah kamu?” Jawab Daud, “Saya anak hambamu Isai, orang Betlehem.”
