1 Tawarikh 14
1 Raja Hiram dari negeri Tirus mengirim duta-dutanya kepada Daud, juga kayu cemara Libanon dan tukang-tukang kayu serta tukang batu untuk mendirikan istana.
And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.
2 Karena itu Daud merasa yakin TUHAN sudah mengukuhkan dia sebagai raja Israel dan menguatkan kerajaannya untuk kepentingan umat TUHAN.
And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.
3 Di Yerusalem Daud mengambil lagi beberapa istri, dan mendapat anak-anak lagi.
And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Putra-putranya yang lahir di Yerusalem ialah: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon
5 Yibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,
And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet
6 Nogah, Nefeg, Yafia,
And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia
7 Elisama, Beelyada dan Elifelet.
And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.
8 Ketika orang Filistin mendengar bahwa Daud sudah diangkat menjadi raja seluruh Israel, mereka datang hendak menangkap dia. Karena itu Daud keluar untuk berperang dengan mereka.
And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.
9 Sementara itu orang Filistin sudah tiba di Lembah Refaim dan merampoki lembah itu.
Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
10 Mendengar itu Daud bertanya kepada Allah, "TUHAN, haruskah saya menyerang orang-orang Filistin itu? Apakah TUHAN akan memberikan kemenangan kepada saya?" "Ya, seranglah!" jawab TUHAN. "Aku akan memberikan kemenangan kepadamu!"
And David, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? and will you give them into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up; for I will give them into your hands.
11 Maka Daud dan pasukannya menyerang orang-orang Filistin itu di Baal-Perasim dan mengalahkan mereka. Berkatalah Daud, "Allah telah memakai aku untuk mendobrak pertahanan musuh seperti banjir merobohkan segalanya dalam seketika." Itu sebabnya tempat itu disebut Baal-Perasim.
So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.
12 Ketika pasukan Filistin lari, mereka tidak sempat membawa patung-patung berhala mereka. Daud memerintahkan supaya patung-patung itu dibakar.
And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.
13 Tidak lama kemudian orang Filistin datang dan merampoki lagi Lembah Refaim.
Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.
14 Sekali lagi Daud meminta petunjuk dari Allah, dan Allah menjawab, "Jangan menyerang mereka dari sini, tetapi berjalanlah memutar dan seranglah mereka dari seberang, dekat pohon-pohon murbei.
And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-trees.
15 Kalau engkau mendengar bunyi seperti derap orang berbaris di puncak pohon-pohon itu, majulah, sebab Aku akan berjalan di depanmu untuk mengalahkan tentara Filistin."
And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.
16 Daud melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya. Ia dan pasukannya memukul mundur tentara Filistin mulai dari Gibeon sampai ke Gezer.
And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
17 Maka termasyhurlah nama Daud di mana-mana, dan TUHAN membuat segala bangsa takut kepada Daud.
And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations.
