2 Samuel 21
1 And it was a famine in [the] days of David three years year after year and he sought David [the] face of Yahweh. And he said Yahweh because of Saul and because of [the] house of blood on that he put to death the Gibeonites.
Pada masa pemerintahan Daud, terjadi bencana kelaparan selama tiga tahun berturut-turut. Lalu Daud berdoa meminta petunjuk TUHAN, dan TUHAN menjawab, “Hal ini terjadi karena Saul sudah melanggar sumpah bangsa Israel kepada orang Gibeon. Saul membunuh keturunan Gibeon, maka sekarang anak-anaknya juga masih bertanggung jawab atas penumpahan darah orang Gibeon itu.”
2 And he summoned the king the Gibeonites and he said to them and the Gibeonites not [were] from [the] people of Israel they that except from [the] remnant of the Amorite[s] and [the] people of Israel they had sworn an oath to them and he had sought Saul to strike down them because was zealous he for [the] people of Israel and Judah.
Orang Gibeon bukan keturunan Israel, melainkan keturunan bangsa Amori. Pada zaman Yosua, bangsa Israel sudah bersumpah untuk tidak membinasakan penduduk kota Gibeon. Namun, karena Raja Saul tidak ingin bangsa Israel dan Yehuda tercampur dengan mereka, dia berusaha menghabisi mereka semua. Oleh sebab itu, Raja Daud memanggil tokoh-tokoh dari keturunan Gibeon yang masih hidup untuk mendiskusikan hal ini.
3 And he said David to the Gibeonites what? will I do for you and how? will I make amends and bless [the] inheritance of Yahweh.
Dia bertanya, “Dengan apa kami dapat menebus hutang darah kepada kalian, supaya TUHAN kembali memberkati umat-Nya?”
4 And they said to him the Gibeonites not (to us *Q(K)*) silver and gold with Saul and with house his and not to us a man to put to death in Israel and he said what? [are] you saying I will do for you.
Jawab mereka, “Kami tidak mau dibayar dengan harta benda milik Saul maupun keluarganya. Kami juga tidak berhak menuntut hukuman mati atas siapa pun di antara umat Israel.” Bertanyalah Daud, “Kalau begitu, apa yang dapat saya lakukan supaya kalian menganggap masalah ini sudah selesai?”
5 And they said to the king the man who he made an end of us and who he planned to us we were destroyed from standing in all [the] territory of Israel.
Jawab mereka, “Yang berusaha melenyapkan kami supaya kami punah dari negeri Israel adalah Saul, orang yang diangkat TUHAN sebagai raja. Untuk membalas kejahatannya itu, serahkanlah kepada kami tujuh laki-laki dari keturunan Saul. Kami akan menggantung mereka di hadapan TUHAN di atas bukit Gibea, tempat Saul dahulu sering berkemah.” Lalu raja Daud berkata, “Baiklah. Saya akan menyerahkan mereka kepada kalian.”
6 (Let it be given *Q(K)*) to us seven men from descendants his and we will impale them to Yahweh at Gibeah of Saul [the] chosen one of Yahweh. And he said the king I I will give [them].
7 And he had compassion the king on Mephi-bosheth [the] son of Jonathan [the] son of Saul on [the] oath of Yahweh which [was] between them between David and between Jonathan [the] son of Saul.
Namun, raja melindungi Mefiboset anak Yonatan oleh karena sumpah persahabatan antara Daud dan Yonatan di hadapan TUHAN.
8 And he took the king [the] two [the] sons of Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah whom she had borne to Saul Armoni and Mephibosheth and [the] five [the] sons of Michal [the] daughter of Saul whom she had borne to Adriel [the] son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Tujuh laki-laki dari keturunan Saul yang diserahkan Daud kepada orang Gibeon adalah Armoni dan Mefiboset yang lain— yaitu dua anak Saul dari selirnya yang bernama Rizpa, serta lima cucu Saul dari anak perempuannya yang bernama Merab. (Rizpa adalah anak Aya. Suami Merab adalah Adriel anak Barzilai, dari kota Mehola.) Ketujuh orang itu digantung di hari yang sama pada awal musim panen jelai. Hukuman mati itu dilaksanakan di atas bukit Gibea.
9 And he gave them in [the] hand of the Gibeonites and they impaled them on the mountain before Yahweh and they fell ([the] seven of them *Q(K)*) together (and they *Q(k)*) they were put to death in [the] days of harvest in the first (at [the] beginning of *Q(K)*) [the] harvest of barley.
10 And she took Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah sackcloth and she spread out it for herself to the rock from [the] beginning of harvest until it was poured out water on them from the heavens and not she permitted [the] bird[s] of the heavens to rest on them by day and [the] animal[s] of the field night.
Kemudian Rizpa mengambil kain karung dan membentangkannya di atas batu besar di dekat tempat kedua anaknya dan lima anggota keluarga lainnya itu digantung. Dia tinggal di sana menjaga mayat-mayat itu supaya tidak dimakan oleh burung-burung pada siang hari atau binatang buas pada malam hari. Dia terus menjaga di situ selama hampir dua bulan, mulai dari awal musim panen sampai turun hujan yang menandakan akhir musim panen.
11 And it was told to David [that] which she had done Rizpah [the] daughter of Aiah [the] concubine of Saul.
Daud mendapat laporan tentang apa yang dilakukan Rizpa.
12 And he went David and he took [the] bones of Saul and [the] bones of Jonathan son his from with [the] citizens of Jabesh Gilead who they had stolen them from [the] open square of Beth Shan where (they had hung up them there [the] Philistines *Q(K)*) on [the] day struck down [the] Philistines Saul on Gilboa.
Karena itu, Daud menyuruh beberapa petugasnya untuk mengumpulkan tulang-tulang ketujuh orang itu. Mereka juga disuruh mengambil tulang-tulang Saul dan Yonatan dari penduduk kota Yabes. (Dulu, setelah Saul dan Yonatan tewas di Gilboa, mayat mereka digantung oleh orang Filistin di dinding alun-alun kota Bet Syan, tetapi orang-orang dari kota Yabes mencuri kedua mayat itu dan menguburkannya di kota mereka.)
13 And he brought up from there [the] bones of Saul and [the] bones of Jonathan son his and they gathered [the] bones of the impaled [men].
14 And they buried [the] bones of Saul and Jonathan son his in [the] land of Benjamin at Zela in [the] tomb of Kish father his and they did all that he commanded the king and he was entreated God for the land after thus.
Lalu sesuai perintah Daud, para petugas itu menguburkan semua tulang mereka di tempat pemakaman Kis, ayah Saul, di kota Zela di wilayah suku Benyamin. Sesudah peristiwa itu, Allah mengabulkan permohonan umat Israel untuk memberkati hasil panen mereka.
15 And it belonged again war to the Philistines with Israel and he went down David and servants his with him and they fought with [the] Philistines and he was weary David.
Suatu hari bangsa Israel kembali berperang dengan Filistin. Daud dan para tentaranya bertempur melawan pasukan Filistin sampai Daud kelelahan.
16 (And Ishbi-*Q(K)*) Benob who - [was] among those born of the Raphah and [the] weight of spear his [was] three hundred [the] weight of bronze and he [was] girded a new [weapon] and he said to strike down David.
Isbi Benob, salah seorang keturunan raksasa, ingin mengambil kesempatan itu untuk membunuh Daud. Perlengkapan perang Isbi berupa sebuah pedang baru dan tombak yang beratnya tiga setengah kilogram.
17 And he helped him Abishai [the] son of Zeruiah and he struck the Philistine and he killed him then they swore [the] men of David to him saying not you will go out again with us for battle and not you will extinguish [the] lamp of Israel.
Tetapi Abisai datang menolong Daud dan membunuh raksasa Filistin itu. Lalu para pasukan menegaskan kepada Daud, “Tuan adalah harapan bagi Israel! Kami bersumpah di hadapan TUHAN bahwa Tuan tidak akan ikut kami lagi dalam pertempuran. Jangan sampai harapan Israel dipadamkan!”
18 And it was after thus and it was again war at Gob with [the] Philistines then he struck down Sibbecai the Hushathite Saph who [was] among those born of the Raphah.
Beberapa waktu kemudian, terjadi lagi pertempuran dengan bangsa Filistin di desa Gob. Pada waktu itu, seorang tentara Israel bernama Sibekai, orang Husa, membunuh Saf, salah satu keturunan raksasa.
19 And it was again war at Gob with [the] Philistines and he struck down Elhanan [the] son of Jaare-Oregim [the] Beth-lehemite Goliath the Gittite and [the] wood of spear his [was] like a beam of weavers.
Sesudah itu, terjadi lagi peperangan dengan bangsa Filistin di Gob. Kali ini, Elhanan anak Yair dari kota Betlehem membunuh saudara Goliat, orang Gat, yang tombaknya berat seperti balok tukang tenun.
20 And it was again war at Gath and he was - a man of (stature *Q(K)*) and [the] fingers of hands his and [the] toes of feet his [were] six and six [was] twenty and four [the] number and also he he was born to the Raphah.
Kemudian terjadi lagi pertempuran melawan orang Filistin di Gat. Salah satu pahlawan Filistin adalah seorang keturunan raksasa yang sangat besar dan memiliki enam jari di setiap tangan dan kakinya. Jumlah semuanya dua puluh empat!
21 And he taunted Israel and he struck down him Jonathan [the] son of (Shimeah *Q(K)*) [the] brother of David.
Ketika raksasa itu mengejek bangsa Israel, maka Yonatan, anak Simei kakak Daud, membunuh dia.
22 Four these they were born to the Raphah in Gath and they fell by [the] hand of David and by [the] hand of servants his.
Jadi, ada empat keturunan raksasa dari kota Gat yang dibunuh oleh Daud dan pasukannya.
