< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
Setelah Saul mati, dan ketika Daud kembali sesudah memukul kalah orang Amalek dan tinggal dua hari di Ziklag,
2 On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
maka datanglah pada hari ketiga seorang dari tentara, dari pihak Saul, dengan pakaian terkoyak-koyak dan tanah di atas kepala. Ketika ia sampai kepada Daud, sujudlah ia ke tanah dan menyembah.
3 David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
Bertanyalah Daud kepadanya: "Dari manakah engkau?" Jawabnya kepadanya: "Aku lolos dari tentara Israel."
4 David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
Bertanyalah pula Daud kepadanya: "Apakah yang terjadi? Coba ceriterakan kepadaku." Jawabnya: "Rakyat telah melarikan diri dari pertempuran; bukan saja banyak dari rakyat yang gugur dan mati, tetapi Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, juga sudah mati."
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
Lalu Daud berkata kepada orang muda yang membawa kabar kepadanya itu: "Bagaimana kauketahui, bahwa Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, sudah mati?"
6 The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
Orang muda yang membawa kabar kepadanya itu berkata: "Kebetulan aku ada di pegunungan Gilboa; maka tampaklah Saul bertelekan pada tombaknya, sedang kereta-kereta dan orang-orang berkuda mengejarnya.
7 Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
Ketika menoleh ke belakang, ia melihat aku, lalu memanggil aku; dan aku berkata: Ya tuanku.
8 He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
Ia bertanya kepadaku: Siapakah engkau? Jawabku kepadanya: Aku seorang Amalek.
9 Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
Lalu katanya kepadaku: Datanglah ke mari dan bunuhlah aku, sebab kekejangan telah menyerang aku, tetapi aku masih bernyawa.
10 So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
Aku datang ke dekatnya dan membunuh dia, sebab aku tahu, ia tidak dapat hidup terus setelah jatuh. Aku mengambil jejamang yang ada di kepalanya, dan gelang yang ada pada lengannya, dan inilah dia kubawa kepada tuanku."
11 Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
Lalu Daud memegang pakaiannya dan mengoyakkannya; dan semua orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia berbuat demikian juga.
12 They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
Dan mereka meratap, menangis dan berpuasa sampai matahari terbenam karena Saul, karena Yonatan, anaknya, karena umat TUHAN dan karena kaum Israel, sebab mereka telah gugur oleh pedang.
13 Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepada orang muda yang membawa kabar itu kepadanya: "Asalmu dari mana?" Jawabnya: "Aku ini anak perantau, orang Amalek."
14 David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
Kemudian berkatalah Daud kepadanya: "Bagaimana? Tidakkah engkau segan mengangkat tanganmu memusnahkan orang yang diurapi TUHAN?"
15 You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
Lalu Daud memanggil salah seorang dari anak buahnya dan berkata: "Ke mari, paranglah dia." Orang itu memarangnya, sehingga mati.
Dan Daud berkata kepadanya: "Kautanggung sendiri darahmu, sebab mulutmulah yang menjadi saksi menentang engkau, karena berkata: Aku telah membunuh orang yang diurapi TUHAN."
17 Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
Daud menyanyikan nyanyian ratapan ini karena Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya,
18 and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
dan ia memberi perintah untuk mengajarkan nyanyian ini kepada bani Yehuda; itu ada tertulis dalam Kitab Orang Jujur.
19 “You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
Kepermaianmu, hai Israel, mati terbunuh di bukit-bukitmu! Betapa gugur para pahlawan!
20 “Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
Janganlah kabarkan itu di Gat, janganlah beritakan itu di lorong-lorong Askelon, supaya jangan bersukacita anak-anak perempuan orang Filistin, supaya jangan beria-ria anak-anak perempuan orang-orang yang tidak bersunat!
21 I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
Hai gunung-gunung di Gilboa! jangan ada embun, jangan ada hujan di atas kamu, hai padang-padang pembawa kematian! Sebab di sanalah perisai para pahlawan dilumuri, perisai Saul yang tidak diurapi dengan minyak.
22 instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
Tanpa darah orang-orang yang mati terbunuh dan tanpa lemak para pahlawan panah Yonatan tidak pernah berpaling pulang, dan pedang Saul tidak kembali dengan hampa.
23 “Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
Saul dan Yonatan, orang-orang yang dicintai dan yang ramah, dalam hidup dan matinya tidak terpisah. Mereka lebih cepat dari burung rajawali, mereka lebih kuat dari singa.
24 “You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
Hai anak-anak perempuan Israel, menangislah karena Saul, yang mendandani kamu dengan pakaian mewah dari kain kirmizi, yang menyematkan perhiasan emas pada pakaianmu.
25 “[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
Betapa gugur para pahlawan di tengah-tengah pertempuran! Yonatan mati terbunuh di bukit-bukitmu.
26 Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
Merasa susah aku karena engkau, saudaraku Yonatan, engkau sangat ramah kepadaku; bagiku cintamu lebih ajaib dari pada cinta perempuan.
27 “It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
Betapa gugur para pahlawan dan musnah senjata-senjata perang!
