1 Samuel 30
1 When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burnt it with fire,
Ketika Daud serta orang-orangnya sampai ke Ziklag pada hari yang ketiga, orang Amalek telah menyerbu Tanah Negeb dan Ziklag; Ziklag telah dikalahkan oleh mereka dan dibakar habis.
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off and went their way.
Perempuan-perempuan dan semua orang yang ada di sana, tua dan muda, telah ditawan mereka, dengan tidak membunuh seorangpun; mereka menggiring sekaliannya, kemudian meneruskan perjalanannya.
3 When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
Ketika Daud dan orang-orangnya sampai ke kota itu, tampaklah kota itu terbakar habis, dan isteri mereka serta anak mereka yang laki-laki dan perempuan telah ditawan.
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.
Lalu menangislah Daud dan rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia itu dengan nyaring, sampai mereka tidak kuat lagi menangis.
5 David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Juga kedua isteri Daud ditawan, yakni Ahinoam, perempuan Yizreel, dan Abigail, bekas isteri Nabal, orang Karmel itu.
6 David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
Dan Daud sangat terjepit, karena rakyat mengatakan hendak melempari dia dengan batu. Seluruh rakyat itu telah pedih hati, masing-masing karena anaknya laki-laki dan perempuan. Tetapi Daud menguatkan kepercayaannya kepada TUHAN, Allahnya.
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
Lalu Daud memberi perintah kepada imam Abyatar bin Ahimelekh: "Bawalah efod itu kepadaku." Maka Abyatar membawa efod itu kepada Daud.
8 David enquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN, katanya: "Haruskah aku mengejar gerombolan itu? Akan dapatkah mereka kususul?" Dan Ia berfirman kepadanya: "Kejarlah, sebab sesungguhnya, engkau akan dapat menyusul mereka dan melepaskan para tawanan."
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Lalu pergilah Daud beserta keenam ratus orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dan sampailah mereka ke sungai Besor. Sementara orang-orang yang mau tinggal di belakang berhenti di sana,
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook Besor.
maka Daud melanjutkan pengejaran itu beserta empat ratus orang. Dua ratus orang yang terlalu lelah untuk menyeberangi sungai Besor itu, berhenti di sana.
11 They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
Kemudian mereka menemui seorang Mesir di padang lalu membawanya kepada Daud. Mereka memberi dia roti, lalu makanlah ia, kemudian mereka memberi dia minum air,
12 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
dan memberikan kepadanya sepotong kue ara dan dua buah kue kismis, dan setelah dimakannya, ia segar kembali, sebab ia tidak makan dan minum selama tiga hari tiga malam.
13 David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.
Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepadanya: "Budak siapakah engkau dan dari manakah engkau?" Jawabnya: "Aku ini seorang pemuda Mesir, budak kepunyaan seorang Amalek. Tuanku meninggalkan aku, karena tiga hari yang lalu aku jatuh sakit.
14 We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burnt Ziklag with fire.”
Kami telah menyerbu Tanah Negeb orang Kreti dan daerah Yehuda dan Tanah Negeb Kaleb, dan Ziklag telah kami bakar habis."
15 David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
Daud bertanya kepadanya: "Dapatkah engkau menunjuk jalan kepadaku ke gerombolan itu?" Katanya: "Bersumpahlah kepadaku demi Allah, bahwa engkau tidak akan membunuh aku, dan tidak akan menyerahkan aku ke dalam tangan tuanku itu, maka aku akan menunjuk jalan kepadamu ke gerombolan itu."
16 When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Ia menunjuk jalan kepada Daud ke sana, dan tampaklah orang-orang itu berpencar-pencar di atas seluruh daerah itu, sambil makan, minum dan mengadakan perayaan karena jarahan yang besar, yang telah dirampas mereka dari tanah orang Filistin dan dari tanah Yehuda.
17 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
Dan pada keesokan harinya Daud menghancurkan mereka dari pagi-pagi buta sampai matahari terbenam; tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang lolos, kecuali empat ratus orang muda yang melarikan diri dengan menunggang unta.
18 David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
Daud melepaskan semua apa yang dirampas oleh orang Amalek itu; juga kedua isterinya dapat dilepaskan Daud.
19 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
Tidak ada yang hilang pada mereka, dari hal yang kecil sampai hal yang besar, sampai anak laki-laki dan anak perempuan, dan dari jarahan sampai segala sesuatu yang telah dirampas mereka; semuanya itu dibawa Daud kembali.
20 David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
Daud mengambil segala kambing domba dan lembu; semuanya itu digiring mereka di hadapannya, serta berkata: "Inilah jarahan Daud."
21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.
Ketika Daud sampai kepada kedua ratus orang yang telah terlalu lelah untuk mengikuti Daud, yang telah dibiarkannya tinggal di dekat sungai Besor, maka keluarlah orang-orang ini menyongsong Daud dan menyongsong rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia. Daud mendekati orang-orang itu dan memberi salam kepada mereka.
22 Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
Kemudian mulailah berbicara semua orang jahat dan orang dursila di antara orang-orang, yang ikut pergi bersama-sama dengan Daud itu, katanya: "Karena mereka tidak ikut pergi bersama-sama dengan kita, janganlah kita berikan kepada mereka apa-apa dari jarahan yang kita selamatkan itu, kecuali kepada masing-masing mereka isterinya dan anak-anaknya. Itu boleh mereka bawa, dan biarlah mereka pergi!"
23 Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Tetapi Daud berkata: "Janganlah kamu, saudara-saudaraku, berbuat demikian, dengan apa yang diberikan TUHAN kepada kita; sebab Ia telah melindungi kita, dan menyerahkan ke dalam tangan kita gerombolan yang menyerang kita.
24 Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”
Siapa yang mau mendengarkan kamu dalam perkara ini? Sebab, bagian orang yang tinggal di dekat barang-barang adalah sama seperti bagian orang yang pergi berperang; itu akan dibagi sama-sama."
25 It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Dan demikianlah halnya sejak hari itu dan seterusnya; hal itu ditentukannya menjadi ketetapan dan peraturan bagi orang Israel sampai sekarang.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
Ketika Daud sampai ke Ziklag, dikirimnyalah sebagian dari jarahan itu kepada para tua-tua di Yehuda, kepada teman-temannya, dengan pesan: "Inilah pemberian kepadamu dari jarahan yang dirampas dari musuh TUHAN,"
27 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
yakni kepada yang di Betel, kepada yang di Ramot di Tanah Selatan, kepada yang di Yatir,
28 to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
kepada yang di Aroer, kepada yang di Sifmot, kepada yang di Estemoa,
29 to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
kepada yang di Rakhal, kepada yang di kota-kota orang Yerahmeel, kepada yang di kota-kota orang Keni,
30 to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
kepada yang di Horma, kepada yang di Bor-Asan, kepada yang di Atakh,
31 to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
kepada yang di Hebron dan kepada segala tempat di mana Daud dengan orang-orangnya mengembara.
