2 Samuel 1
1 After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites and remained in Ziklag for two days.
Setelah Daud mengejar dan membunuh orang-orang Amalek yang sudah menjarah Ziklag, dia kembali dan tinggal di Ziklag selama dua hari tanpa mendengar berita tentang Saul maupun tentang pertempuran melawan pasukan Filistin.
2 On the third day, a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. When he came to David he lay facedown on the ground and prostrated himself.
Pada hari ketiga, datanglah seseorang dari perkemahan pasukan Saul. Dia sudah merobek pakaiannya dan menaburkan tanah di kepalanya sebagai tanda berkabung. Setibanya di hadapan Daud, dia bersujud memberi hormat.
3 David said to him, “Where did you come from?” He answered, “I escaped from the camp of Israel.”
Lalu Daud bertanya kepadanya, “Kamu dari mana?” Jawabnya, “Dari perkemahan pasukan Israel. Hamba berhasil meloloskan diri dari serbuan orang Filistin di sana.”
4 David said to him, “Please tell me how things went.” He answered, “The people fled from the battle. Many have fallen and many are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are also dead.”
Tanya Daud kepadanya, “Apa yang terjadi dalam pertempuran itu? Beritahu saya!” Jawab orang itu, “Pasukan Israel melarikan diri dari pertempuran dan banyak yang terbunuh, bahkan Saul dan Yonatan mati!”
5 David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
Berkatalah Daud kepada orang itu, “Bagaimana kamu tahu bahwa Saul dan putranya sudah mati?”
6 The young man replied, “By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there Saul was leaning on his spear, and chariots and riders were about to catch up with him.
Jawab orang itu, “Kebetulan hamba berada di gunung Gilboa dan melihat Saul bersandar pada tombaknya, sementara kereta-kereta kuda dan pasukan penunggang kuda musuh sedang mendekatinya.
7 Saul turned around and saw me and called out to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'
Ketika Saul menoleh ke belakang, dia melihat dan memanggil saya. Lalu saya menjawab, ‘Ya, Tuanku.’
8 He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'
“Dia bertanya, ‘Kamu siapa?’ “Dan saya jawab, ‘Saya orang Amalek.’
9 He said to me, 'Please stand over me and kill me, for great suffering has taken hold of me, but life is still in me.'
“Kemudian Saul berkata, ‘Datanglah mendekat dan bunuhlah saya! Saya sudah sekarat, tetapi belum mati juga.’
10 So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that he would not live after he had fallen. Then I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and brought them here to you, my master.”
Jadi hamba membunuhnya, karena hamba tahu dia tidak akan selamat dengan kondisi seperti itu. Kemudian hamba mengambil mahkota dari kepalanya serta gelang di lengannya dan membawanya ke sini kepada Tuanku.”
11 Then David tore his clothes, and all the men with him did the same.
Maka Daud beserta semua pengikutnya merobek pakaian mereka sebagai tanda berkabung.
12 They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, for Jonathan his son, for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel because they had fallen by the sword.
Mereka meratap, menangis, dan berpuasa sepanjang hari karena kematian Saul, Yonatan, dan begitu banyak pasukan TUHAN, umat Israel.
13 David said to the young man, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner in the land, an Amalekite.”
Lalu tanya Daud kepada pembawa kabar itu, “Dari mana asalmu?” Jawabnya, “Hamba adalah orang Amalek. Ayah hamba seorang perantau yang tinggal di negeri Israel.”
14 David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to kill Yahweh's anointed king with your own hand?”
Daud berkata lagi kepadanya, “Mengapa kamu menganggap dirimu pantas membunuh orang yang dipilih TUHAN?!”
15 David called one of the young men and said, “Go and kill him.” So that man went and struck him down, and the Amalekite died.
Daud pun memanggil salah seorang tentaranya dan berkata, “Bunuh dia!” Maka tentara itu membunuh pembawa kabar tadi.
16 Then David said to the dead Amalekite, “Your blood is on your head because your own mouth has testified against you and said, 'I have killed Yahweh's anointed king.'”
Sebelum orang itu dibunuh, Daud berkata kepadanya, “Kamu bertanggung jawab atas kematianmu sendiri, karena kamulah yang mengakui bahwa kamu membunuh orang yang dipilih TUHAN.”
17 Then David sung this funeral song about Saul and Jonathan his son.
Daud meratapi Saul dan Yonatan dengan menyanyikan lagu perkabungan yang diberinya judul “Busur dan Anak Panah.” Daud juga memerintahkan agar lagu itu diajarkan kepada semua orang di Yehuda. Lagu ini tertulis dalam Kitab Orang-orang Jujur. Inilah kata-kata dalam lagu Daud itu:
18 He commanded the people to teach this Song of the Bow to the sons of Judah, which has been written in the Book of Jashar.
19 “Your glory, Israel, is dead, killed on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
Oh Israel, yang engkau muliakan sudah terbunuh di bukit-bukit! Sudah gugur para pahlawan yang gagah perkasa!
20 Do not tell it in Gath, do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, so that the daughters of the Philistines may not rejoice, so that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not celebrate.
Jangan beritakan kisah itu di Gat, jangan ceritakan di jalan-jalan Askelon, supaya gadis-gadis Filistin tidak bersuka, dan para penyembah berhala tidak bersorak!
21 Mountains of Gilboa, let there not be dew or rain on you, nor fields giving grain for offerings, for there the shield of the mighty was defiled. The shield of Saul is no longer anointed with oil.
Semoga hujan atau embun tidak turun atas gunung-gunung di Gilboa. Semoga ladang di daerah itu tidak menghasilkan gandum yang dapat dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN! Karena di sanalah perisai-perisai para pahlawan Israel tercampak dengan penuh aib, dan perisai Saul tidak lagi digosok dengan minyak supaya mengkilat.
22 From the blood of those who have been killed, from the bodies of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
Pedang Saul dan panah Yonatan tidak pernah gagal membunuh musuh. Senjata-senjata perang mereka selalu berlumur darah dan lemak para pahlawan yang terbunuh.
23 Saul and Jonathan were loved and gracious in life, and in their death they were not separated. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Saul dan Yonatan sangat disayangi semasa hidup mereka. Keduanya tak terpisahkan saat hidup maupun mati. Mereka lebih cepat daripada rajawali, lebih kuat daripada singa.
24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet as well as jewels, and who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
Hai gadis-gadis Israel, ratapilah kematian Saul, yang sudah mengenakan kepada kalian pakaian terbaik dan mewah, yang sudah menghiasi pakaian kalian dengan emas.
25 How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is killed on your high places.
Betapa aku berdukacita karena para pahlawan kita sudah gugur di tengah pertempuran! Yonatan terbunuh di atas bukit-bukit!
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You were very dear to me. Your love to me was wonderful, exceeding the love of women.
Aku sangat berduka karena engkau, Yonatan, saudaraku! Aku sungguh mengasihimu. Kasih persahabatanmu bagiku melebihi kasih seorang istri.
27 How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”
Betapa para pahlawan Israel sudah gugur! Senjata peperangan mereka terbuang dan tak berguna!
