< 1 Samuel 17 >

1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
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 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley of Elah, 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 The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
Pasukan Filistin berada di satu bukit dan pasukan Israel berada di bukit sebelahnya, dengan lembah terbentang di antara mereka.
4 There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
Lalu dari barisan tentara Filistin keluarlah seorang jagoan perang yang bernama Goliat, orang Gat. Tingginya tiga meter.
5 And he had a helmet on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
Dia memakai topi perunggu di kepalanya, dan mengenakan baju zirah yang terbuat dari perunggu. Berat baju itu 57,5 kilogram.
6 And he had bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over his shoulders.
Dia memakai pelindung dari perunggu di kakinya dan memanggul sebuah lembing di bahunya.
7 Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of him.
Gagang tombaknya sebesar balok tukang tenun, dan mata tombak itu beratnya tujuh kilogram. Pembawa perisainya berjalan di depannya.
8 He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, 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 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will 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 The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together."
Saya menantang pasukan Israel hari ini! Berikanlah kepada saya satu orang saja supaya kami dapat bertarung satu lawan satu.”
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Ketika Saul dan seluruh orang Israel mendengar kata-kata Goliat itu, mereka sangat cemas dan ketakutan.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
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 The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
Tiga anak tertua Isai yang bernama Eliab, Abinadab, dan Syama, pergi berperang bersama Saul. Dan Daud adalah anak bungsu.
14 David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
Daud sering pulang pergi dari perkemahan Saul ke Betlehem untuk menggembalakan kawanan domba bapaknya.
16 The Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Tetapi setiap pagi dan sore selama empat puluh hari, Goliat masih terus menantang pasukan Israel dengan sangat sombong.
17 Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly 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 bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
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 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Pada waktu itu Saul beserta pasukan Israel masih berada di lembah Elah dalam keadaan siap berperang melawan orang Filistin.
20 So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war cry.
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 lined up in battle formation, army against army.
Pasukan Israel dan pasukan Filistin itu sudah mengatur barisannya. Mereka saling berhadapan dan siap untuk bertempur.
22 And David left his supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted his brothers.
Daud menyerahkan makanan itu kepada kepala perbekalan, lalu dia berlari ke medan perang untuk menemui kakak-kakaknya.
23 As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
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 All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
Ketika pasukan Israel melihat Goliat, mereka mulai lari ketakutan.
25 The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt 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 David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies 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 The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills 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 Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might 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 David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
Lalu Daud menjawab, “Apa salahku? Aku hanya bertanya kepada mereka!”
30 Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
Kemudian Daud meninggalkan Eliab dan mendekati beberapa orang lain. Dia menanyakan hal yang sama dan mendapat jawaban yang sama pula.
31 When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
Akhirnya perkataan Daud itu disampaikan kepada Raja Saul, dan raja pun memanggil Daud.
32 David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of 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 Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a 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 David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb 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 I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, 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 this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied the armies 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 of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." 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 he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
Lalu Saul mengenakan pakaian perangnya kepada Daud, dan meletakkan topi tembaga di atas kepalanya serta mengenakan baju zirah kepadanya.
39 And David strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took them off 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 Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. 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 So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of him.
Goliat pun berjalan mendekat ke arah Daud, dan di depannya ada pembawa perisainya.
42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
Goliat memandang lalu menghina dia, karena Daud masih muda, kemerah-merahan, dan elok parasnya.
43 The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick?" 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 The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field."
Goliat menantang Daud, “Ayo maju! Lawanlah aku dan aku akan memberikan dagingmu kepada burung-burung dan binatang-binatang liar.”
45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom 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 Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may 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 that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hand."
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 It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
Ketika Goliat maju lagi untuk menyerang, Daud berlari dengan cepat untuk menghadapinya.
49 David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on 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 with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but 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 Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, 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 The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
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 The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
Sesudah pasukan Israel kembali dari mengejar pasukan musuh, mereka menjarah perkemahan Filistin.
54 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 When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
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 The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man is."
Raja memberi perintah, “Carilah informasi dari orang-orang yang mengenalnya: Siapakah bapaknya?”
57 As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Lalu, pada waktu Daud masih memegang kepala Goliat, Abner membawa Daud menghadap Raja Saul.
58 Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
Bertanyalah Saul kepada Daud, “Anak siapakah kamu?” Jawab Daud, “Saya anak hambamu Isai, orang Betlehem.”
