2 Samuel 5

1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.

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

2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Jehovah said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler 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 covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; 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-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 Then the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You will not get in here." For the blind and the lame incited them, saying, "David can't get 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 captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).

Tetapi Daud merebut kubu pertahanan Sion, yaitu kota Daud.

8 David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."

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 David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.

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

10 David grew greater and greater; for Jehovah of hosts was with him.

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

11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.

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 knew that Jehovah 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 David took more secondary wives and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

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 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

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

15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,

16 and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.

Elisama, Elyada dan Elifelet.

17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.

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 Now the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

Ketika orang Filistin itu datang dan memencar di lembah Refaim,

19 So David inquired of Jehovah, asking, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Then Jehovah answered David, "Go up, for I will certainly deliver them 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 So David came to Baal Perazim, and he defeated them there, and he said, "Jehovah has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of waters." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

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 they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.

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

22 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 David inquired of Jehovah, and Jehovah said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar 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 it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then Jehovah has gone out before you to strike the army 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 as Jehovah commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.

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