2 Samuel 21
1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. The LORD said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
Dalam zaman Daud terjadilah kelaparan selama tiga tahun berturut-turut, lalu Daud pergi menanyakan petunjuk TUHAN. Berfirmanlah TUHAN: "Pada Saul dan keluarganya melekat hutang darah, karena ia telah membunuh orang-orang Gibeon."
2 The king called the Gibeonites and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
Lalu raja memanggil orang-orang Gibeon dan berkata kepada mereka, --orang-orang Gibeon itu tidak termasuk orang Israel, tetapi termasuk sisa-sisa orang Amori dan walaupun orang Israel telah bersumpah kepada mereka, Saul berikhtiar membasmi mereka dalam kegiatannya untuk kepentingan orang Israel dan Yehuda, --
3 and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless the LORD’s inheritance?”
Daud berkata kepada orang-orang Gibeon itu: "Apakah yang dapat kuperbuat bagimu dan dengan apakah dapat kuadakan penebusan, supaya kamu memberkati milik pusaka TUHAN?"
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
Lalu berkatalah orang-orang Gibeon itu kepadanya: "Bukanlah perkara emas dan perak urusan kami dengan Saul serta keluarganya, juga bukanlah urusan kami untuk membunuh seseorang di antara orang Israel." Tetapi kata Daud: "Apakah yang kamu kehendaki akan kuperbuat bagimu?"
5 They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
Sesudah itu berkatalah mereka kepada raja: "Dari orang yang hendak membinasakan kami dan yang bermaksud memunahkan kami, sehingga kami tidak mendapat tempat di manapun di daerah Israel,
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” The king said, “I will give them.”
biarlah diserahkan tujuh orang anaknya laki-laki kepada kami, supaya kami menggantung mereka di hadapan TUHAN di Gibeon, di bukit TUHAN." Lalu berkatalah raja: "Aku akan menyerahkan mereka."
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Tetapi raja merasa sayang kepada Mefiboset bin Yonatan bin Saul, karena sumpah demi TUHAN ada di antara mereka, di antara Daud dan Yonatan bin Saul.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Lalu raja mengambil kedua anak laki-laki Rizpa binti Aya, yang dilahirkannya bagi Saul, yakni Armoni dan Mefiboset, dan kelima anak laki-laki Merab binti Saul, yang dilahirkannya bagi Adriel bin Barzilai, orang Mehola itu,
9 He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
kemudian diserahkannyalah mereka ke dalam tangan orang-orang Gibeon itu. Orang-orang ini menggantung mereka di atas bukit, di hadapan TUHAN. Ketujuh orang itu tewas bersama-sama. Mereka telah dihukum mati pada awal musim menuai, pada permulaan musim menuai jelai.
10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
Lalu Rizpa binti Aya mengambil kain karung, dan membentangkannya bagi dirinya di atas gunung batu, dari permulaan musim menuai sampai tercurah air dari langit ke atas mayat mereka; ia tidak membiarkan burung-burung di udara mendatangi mayat mereka pada siang hari, ataupun binatang-binatang di hutan pada malam hari.
11 David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Ketika diberitahukan kepada Daud apa yang diperbuat Rizpa binti Aya, gundik Saul itu,
12 So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
maka pergilah Daud mengambil tulang-tulang Saul dan tulang-tulang Yonatan, anaknya, dari warga-warga kota Yabesh-Gilead, yang telah mencuri tulang-tulang itu dari tanah lapang di Bet-San, tempat orang Filistin menggantung mereka, ketika orang Filistin memukul Saul kalah di Gilboa.
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
Ia membawa dari sana tulang-tulang Saul dan tulang-tulang Yonatan, anaknya. Dikumpulkanlah juga tulang-tulang orang-orang yang digantung tadi,
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.
lalu dikuburkan bersama-sama tulang-tulang Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, di tanah Benyamin, di Zela, di dalam kubur Kish, ayahnya. Orang melakukan segala sesuatu yang diperintahkan raja, maka sesudah itu Allah mengabulkan doa untuk negeri itu.
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;
Ketika terjadi lagi peperangan antara orang Filistin dan orang Israel, maka berangkatlah Daud bersama-sama dengan orang-orangnya, lalu berperang melawan orang Filistin, sampai Daud menjadi letih lesu.
16 and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David.
Yisbi-Benob, yang termasuk keturunan raksasa--berat tombaknya tiga ratus syikal tembaga dan ia menyandang pedang yang baru--menyangka dapat menewaskan Daud.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
Tetapi Abisai, anak Zeruya, datang menolong Daud, lalu merobohkan dan membunuh orang Filistin itu. Pada waktu itu orang-orang Daud memohon dengan sangat kepadanya, kata mereka: "Janganlah lagi engkau maju berperang bersama-sama dengan kami, supaya keturunan Israel jangan punah bersama-sama engkau."
18 After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
Sesudah itu terjadi lagi pertempuran melawan orang Filistin di Gob; pada waktu itu Sibkhai, orang Husa, memukul kalah Saf, yang termasuk keturunan raksasa.
19 There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Dan terjadi lagi pertempuran melawan orang Filistin, di Gob; Elhanan bin Yaare-Oregim, orang Betlehem itu, menewaskan Goliat, orang Gat itu, yang gagang tombaknya seperti pesa tukang tenun.
20 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
Lalu terjadi lagi pertempuran di Gat; dan di sana ada seorang yang tinggi perawakannya, yang tangannya dan kakinya masing-masing berjari enam: dua puluh empat seluruhnya; juga orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa.
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.
Ia mengolok-olok orang Israel, maka Yonatan, anak Simea kakak Daud, menewaskannya.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
Keempat orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa di Gat; mereka tewas oleh tangan Daud dan oleh tangan orang-orangnya.
