2 Samuel 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David besought the presence of the Lord. And the Lord said, On account of Saul, and on account of the house of blood, is this; because he hath slain the Gib'onites.
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 for the Gib'onites, and said unto them: [now the Gib'onites are not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Emorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them; but Saul had sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel in 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 Gib'onites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
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 Gib'onites said unto him, We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul and with his house: nor do we wish to kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye say, 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 said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed, so that we should have no footing in all the boundaries 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 there be delivered unto us seven men of his sons, and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Gib'ah of Saul, the chosen of the Lord. 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 had pity on Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the Lord'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 And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, whom she had born unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had brought up for 'Adriel the son of Barzillai the Mecholathite:
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 hand of the Gib'onites, and they hanged them on the mount before the Lord; and they fell, these seven, together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the 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 Ayah took sackcloth, and spread out it for herself upon the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped down upon them out of heaven, and she suffered neither the birds of heaven 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 to David what Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Ketika diberitahukan kepada Daud apa yang diperbuat Rizpa binti Aya, gundik Saul itu,
12 And David then went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Yabeshgil'ad, who had stolen them from the market-place of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them up, at the time the Philistines had smitten Saul at 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 there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered up the bones of those that had been hanged.
Ia membawa dari sana tulang-tulang Saul dan tulang-tulang Yonatan, anaknya. Dikumpulkanlah juga tulang-tulang orang-orang yang digantung tadi,
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin at Zela', in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king had commanded. And after that God was entreated 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 And the Philistines had again a war with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became fatigued.
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 Yishbi at Nob, who was of the children of the Raphah, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of copper, he being girded with a new armor, thought to slay 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 Zeruyah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then swore the men of David unto him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not quench the lamp 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 at Gob, with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Saph, who was of the children of the Raphah.
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 at Gob with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Ya'are-oregim, the Bethlechemite, slew 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 again a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, [in all] four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the Raphah.
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 he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'ah, 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 Raphah in Gath; and they 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.
