1 Samuel 17
1 The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
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 gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
Saul juga mengumpulkan tentara Israel dan berkemah di lembah Elah. Mereka bersiap-siap untuk menghadapi pasukan Filistin.
3 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
Pasukan Filistin berada di satu bukit dan pasukan Israel berada di bukit sebelahnya, dengan lembah terbentang di antara mereka.
4 Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
Lalu dari barisan tentara Filistin keluarlah seorang jagoan perang yang bernama Goliat, orang Gat. Tingginya tiga meter.
5 He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
Dia memakai topi perunggu di kepalanya, dan mengenakan baju zirah yang terbuat dari perunggu. Berat baju itu 57,5 kilogram.
6 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
Dia memakai pelindung dari perunggu di kakinya dan memanggul sebuah lembing di bahunya.
7 He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of him.
Gagang tombaknya sebesar balok tukang tenun, dan mata tombak itu beratnya tujuh kilogram. Pembawa perisainya berjalan di depannya.
8 Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here 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 fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
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 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
Saya menantang pasukan Israel hari ini! Berikanlah kepada saya satu orang saja supaya kami dapat bertarung satu lawan satu.”
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
Ketika Saul dan seluruh orang Israel mendengar kata-kata Goliat itu, mereka sangat cemas dan ketakutan.
12 David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
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 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
Tiga anak tertua Isai yang bernama Eliab, Abinadab, dan Syama, pergi berperang bersama Saul. Dan Daud adalah anak bungsu.
14 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
15 David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
Daud sering pulang pergi dari perkemahan Saul ke Betlehem untuk menggembalakan kawanan domba bapaknya.
16 For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Tetapi setiap pagi dan sore selama empat puluh hari, Goliat masih terus menantang pasukan Israel dengan sangat sombong.
17 [One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] 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 here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
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 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
Pada waktu itu Saul beserta pasukan Israel masih berada di lembah Elah dalam keadaan siap berperang melawan orang Filistin.
20 So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a 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 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
Pasukan Israel dan pasukan Filistin itu sudah mengatur barisannya. Mereka saling berhadapan dan siap untuk bertempur.
22 David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
Daud menyerahkan makanan itu kepada kepala perbekalan, lalu dia berlari ke medan perang untuk menemui kakak-kakaknya.
23 While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
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 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
Ketika pasukan Israel melihat Goliat, mereka mulai lari ketakutan.
25 They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
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 talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful 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 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
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 But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch 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 replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
Lalu Daud menjawab, “Apa salahku? Aku hanya bertanya kepada mereka!”
30 Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
Kemudian Daud meninggalkan Eliab dan mendekati beberapa orang lain. Dia menanyakan hal yang sama dan mendapat jawaban yang sama pula.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
Akhirnya perkataan Daud itu disampaikan kepada Raja Saul, dan raja pun memanggil Daud.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
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 only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
Tetapi Saul menjawab, “Tidak mungkin kamu sanggup mengalahkan dia, sebab kamu masih muda, sedangkan dia sudah biasa berperang sejak masa mudanya.”
34 David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
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 after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
maka hamba mengejar dan memukulnya, lalu melepaskan domba itu dari mulutnya. Apabila dia menyerang saya, maka hamba menangkap rahangnya, lalu memukulnya sampai mati.
36 I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful 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 Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help 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 Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
Lalu Saul mengenakan pakaian perangnya kepada Daud, dan meletakkan topi tembaga di atas kepalanya serta mengenakan baju zirah kepadanya.
39 David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
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 walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
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 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
Goliat pun berjalan mendekat ke arah Daud, dan di depannya ada pembawa perisainya.
42 he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
Goliat memandang lalu menghina dia, karena Daud masih muda, kemerah-merahan, dan elok parasnya.
43 He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
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 He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
Goliat menantang Daud, “Ayo maju! Lawanlah aku dan aku akan memberikan dagingmu kepada burung-burung dan binatang-binatang liar.”
45 David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
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 Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
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 everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
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 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
Ketika Goliat maju lagi untuk menyerang, Daud berlari dengan cepat untuk menghadapinya.
49 He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto 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 Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
Demikianlah Daud mengalahkan dan membunuh Goliat hanya dengan umban dan sebuah batu, tanpa memegang pedang.
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 Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
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 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
Sesudah pasukan Israel kembali dari mengejar pasukan musuh, mereka menjarah perkemahan Filistin.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
Daud mengambil kepala Goliat yang dipenggalnya itu dan membawanya ke Yerusalem, sedangkan perlengkapan perang Goliat dia simpan di dalam kemahnya.
55 As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not 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 Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
Raja memberi perintah, “Carilah informasi dari orang-orang yang mengenalnya: Siapakah bapaknya?”
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
Lalu, pada waktu Daud masih memegang kepala Goliat, Abner membawa Daud menghadap Raja Saul.
58 Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
Bertanyalah Saul kepada Daud, “Anak siapakah kamu?” Jawab Daud, “Saya anak hambamu Isai, orang Betlehem.”
