1 Samuel 14

1 Pada suatu ketika Yonatan berkata kepada pemuda pembawa senjatanya, "Ayolah, kita pergi ke pos Filistin di seberang sana!" Tetapi ia tidak minta izin kepada ayahnya.

And it happened that, on a certain day, Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the youth who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is across from that place.” But he did not reveal this to his father.

2 Pada saat itu Saul sedang berada di bawah pohon delima di Migron, tidak jauh dari Gibea. Rakyat yang mengikutinya kira-kira 600 orang banyaknya.

Moreover, Saul was staying in the furthermost part of Gibeah, below the pomegranate tree that was at Migron. And the people with him were about six hundred men.

3 (Imam yang membawa efod ialah Ahiya anak Ahitub, yaitu saudara Ikabod anak Pinehas, dan Pinehas anak Eli, imam TUHAN di Silo.) Rakyat juga tidak tahu bahwa Yonatan telah pergi dari situ.

And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, who had been born of Eli, the priest of the Lord at Shiloh, wore the ephod. But the people did not know where Jonathan had gone.

4 Untuk mencapai pos Filistin itu, Yonatan harus melalui sebuah sela gunung yang diapit oleh dua batu karang yang bergerigi, yang masing-masing bernama Bozes dan Sene.

Now there were, between the ascents along which Jonathan strove to cross to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks projecting from both sides, and, in the manner of teeth, boulders breaking out from one side and the other. The name of one was Shining, and the name of the other was Thorny.

5 Batu karang yang di sebelah utara menghadap ke Mikhmas, dan yang di sebelah selatan menghadap ke Geba.

One boulder projected toward the north, opposite Michmash, and the other toward the south, opposite Gibeah.

6 Maka berkatalah Yonatan kepada pemuda itu, "Mari kita pergi ke pos orang Filistin si kafir itu. Barangkali TUHAN mau menolong kita. Sebab TUHAN dapat memberi kemenangan, baik dengan banyak orang maupun dengan sedikit orang."

Then Jonathan said to the youth who bore his armor: “Come, let us go across to the garrison of these uncircumcised. And perhaps the Lord may act on our behalf. For it is not difficult for the Lord to save, either by many, or by few.”

7 Pemuda itu menjawab, "Apa saja yang hendak Tuan lakukan, hamba setuju."

And his armor bearer said to him: “Do all that is pleasing to your soul. Go wherever you wish, and I will be with you, wherever you will choose.”

8 "Baiklah," kata Yonatan. "Pada waktu menyeberang, kita akan memperlihatkan diri kepada orang-orang Filistin itu.

And Jonathan said: “Behold, we will cross over to these men. And when we will be seen by them,

9 Jika mereka menyuruh kita berhenti dan menunggu sampai mereka datang kepada kita, maka kita akan tetap tinggal di situ saja dan tidak usah menyeberang.

if they have spoken to us in this way, ‘Stay until we come to you,’ let us stand still in our place, and not ascend to them.

10 Tetapi jika mereka menyuruh kita datang kepada mereka, kita akan ke sana, karena itulah tandanya mereka sudah diserahkan TUHAN kepada kita."

But if they will say, ‘Ascend to us,’ let us ascend. For the Lord has delivered them into our hands. This will be the sign to us.”

11 Ketika mereka berdua memperlihatkan diri kepada orang Filistin di pos penjagaan itu, berkatalah orang-orang Filistin itu, "Lihatlah, ada orang-orang Ibrani yang keluar dari lubang-lubang tempat mereka bersembunyi!"

And so, both of them appeared before the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “See, the Hebrews have come out from the holes in which they had been hiding.”

12 Kemudian mereka berseru kepada Yonatan dan hambanya, "Naiklah kemari supaya kami perlihatkan sesuatu kepadamu!" Lalu berkatalah Yonatan kepada pemuda itu, "Ikutilah aku, karena mereka sudah diserahkan TUHAN kepada Israel."

And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan and to his armor bearer, and they said, “Ascend to us, and we will show you something.” And Jonathan said to his armor bearer: “Let us ascend. Follow me. For the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.”

13 Dengan diikuti pemuda itu Yonatan merangkak ke atas. Sewaktu Yonatan muncul, berjatuhanlah orang-orang Filistin dipukul olehnya, sedang di belakangnya, pemuda itu membunuhi mereka.

Then Jonathan ascended, crawling on his hands and feet, and his armor bearer after him. And then, some fell before Jonathan, others his armor bearer killed as he was following him.

14 Dalam serangan pertama itu, Yonatan dan pemuda itu membunuh kira-kira dua puluh orang di daerah seluas seperempat hektar.

And the first slaughter was made when Jonathan and his armor bearer struck down about twenty of the men, in the midst of an area of land that a yoke of oxen would usually plow in a day.

15 Kejadian itu menggemparkan orang Filistin di perkemahan dan di padang-padang. Seluruh rakyat Filistin dengan pos-pos penjagaan serta rombongan-rombongan perampok menjadi ketakutan; bahkan bumi pun bergetar, dan terjadilah hiruk-pikuk yang hebat.

And a miracle occurred in the camp, out in the fields. And all of the people of their garrison, who had gone out in order to plunder, were stupefied. And the earth trembled. And it happened as a miracle from God.

16 Sementara itu tentara Saul yang berkawal di Gibea di wilayah Benyamin, melihat orang Filistin berlari kian kemari dengan sangat kebingungan.

And the watchmen of Saul, who were at Gibeah of Benjamin, looked out, and behold, a multitude was thrown down and dispersed, this way and that.

17 Maka berkatalah Saul kepada anak buahnya, "Hitunglah para prajurit dan periksalah siapa yang tidak ada." Mereka melakukan perintah itu lalu ketahuanlah bahwa Yonatan dan pemuda pembawa senjatanya tidak ada.

And Saul said to the people who were with him, “Inquire and see who has gone out from us.” And when they had inquired, it was found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were not present.

18 "Bawalah efod itu kemari," kata Saul kepada Imam Ahia. (Pada hari itu Ahia membawa efod itu di hadapan orang Israel.)

And Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of the God.” (For the ark of God was, in that day, with the sons of Israel in that place.)

19 Ketika Saul sedang berbicara dengan imam itu, kegemparan dalam perkemahan orang Filistin semakin bertambah, sehingga Saul berkata kepada imam itu, "Kita tak sempat lagi untuk meminta petunjuk dari TUHAN!"

And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great tumult in the camp of the Philistines. And it was increasing, little by little, and it was being heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”

20 Lalu Saul dan orang-orangnya serentak maju ke tempat pertempuran. Di situ mereka melihat ada kekacauan di antara orang Filistin; mereka saling menyerang dan saling membunuh.

Then Saul, and all the people who were with him, cried out together, and they went to the place of the conflict. And behold, each one’s sword had been turned against his neighbor, and there was a very great slaughter.

21 Orang-orang Ibrani yang tinggal di daerah orang Filistin, dan yang telah ikut dengan tentara mereka, berbalik haluan serta bergabung dengan Saul dan Yonatan.

Moreover, the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and who had ascended with them into the camp, turned back so that they might be with those of Israel who were with Saul and Jonathan.

22 Juga orang-orang Israel yang bersembunyi di bukit-bukit Efraim, yang mendengar bahwa orang Filistin telah lari, ikut bergabung dan menyerang orang Filistin itu.

Likewise, all the Israelites who had hidden themselves on mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had fled, joined themselves with their own in the battle. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.

23 Mereka bertempur sepanjang jalan sampai lewat Bet-Awen. TUHAN menyelamatkan Israel pada hari itu.

And the Lord saved Israel on that day. But the fight continued as far as Bethaven.

24 Pada hari itu orang-orang Israel dalam keadaan lemah karena lapar, sebab Saul telah bersumpah demikian, "Terkutuklah orang yang memakan apa pun pada hari ini sebelum aku membalas dendam terhadap musuhku." Karena itu tidak seorang pun yang makan sepanjang hari itu.

And the men of Israel were joined together on that day. And Saul made the people swear, saying, “Cursed be the man who will eat bread, until evening, until I am avenged of my enemies.” And the entire people did not consume bread.

25 Kemudian sampailah mereka semua di sebuah hutan dan menemukan banyak sekali madu,

And all the common people went into a forest, in which there was honey on the surface of the field.

26 tetapi tak seorang pun yang makan sesuatu dari madu itu, karena takut kena kutuk yang diucapkan Saul.

And so the people entered the forest, and there appeared flowing honey, but no one drew his hand near his mouth. For the people were afraid of the oath.

27 Tetapi Yonatan tidak mengetahui bahwa ayahnya telah mengancam rakyat dengan kutuk itu; sebab itu diulurkannya tongkat yang dibawanya, dan dicucukkannya ke dalam sarang madu, lalu diambilnya madu itu dan dimakannya. Segera ia merasa segar dan bertambah kuat.

But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people to an oath. And so he extended the top of the staff that he was holding in his hand, and he dipped it in a honeycomb. And he turned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were brightened.

28 Kemudian seorang dari prajurit-prajurit itu berkata kepadanya, "Kami semua sudah tak berdaya karena lapar. Tetapi ayah Tuan telah mengancam kami dengan sumpah, katanya, 'Terkutuklah orang yang makan pada hari ini.'"

And in response, one of the people said, “Your father has bound the people by an oath, saying: ‘Cursed be the man who will eat any bread this day.’” (For the people were faint.)

29 Yonatan menjawab, "Sungguh keterlaluan tindakan ayahku itu terhadap bangsa kita! Lihat, keadaanku sekarang jauh lebih baik setelah aku makan sedikit madu.

And Jonathan said: “My father has troubled the land. You have seen for yourselves that my eyes were brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

30 Seandainya rakyat pada hari ini diizinkan makan makanan yang telah dirampasnya ketika mengalahkan musuh, pastilah lebih banyak orang Filistin yang dapat kita bunuh!"

How much more so, if the people had eaten from the plunder that they find with their enemies? Would not a greater slaughter have been accomplished among the Philistines?”

31 Pada hari itu orang Israel mengalahkan orang Filistin setelah bertempur sepanjang jalan dari Mikhmas sampai ke Ayalon. Tetapi setelah itu mereka begitu letih,

Therefore, on that day, they struck down the Philistines, from Michmash as far as Aijalon. But the people were exceedingly wearied.

32 sehingga mereka berebut-rebutan mengambil barang rampasan yang didapatkan dari musuh; mereka mengambil domba dan sapi lalu memotongnya di tempat itu juga, dan langsung memakan daging yang masih ada darahnya.

And turning to the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and they slew them on the ground. And the people ate with blood.

33 Lalu diberitahu kepada Saul demikian, "Baginda, rakyat telah berdosa terhadap TUHAN karena makan daging dengan darahnya." "Kamu pengkhianat!" teriak Saul. "Gulingkanlah sebuah batu besar kemari."

Then they reported to Saul, saying that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with blood. And he said: “You have transgressed. Roll a great stone to me, here and now.”

34 Kemudian katanya lagi kepada orang-orang yang membawa berita itu, "Berpencarlah kamu di antara rakyat dan suruhlah mereka membawa sapi dan dombanya kemari, supaya dipotong di atas batu ini dan dimakan di sini; dengan demikian mereka tidak makan daging dengan darahnya dan tidak berdosa lagi terhadap TUHAN." Malam itu juga seluruh rakyat membawa binatang rampasannya dan memotongnya di situ.

And Saul said: “Disperse yourselves among the common people, and tell each one of them to bring to me his ox and his ram, and to slay them upon this stone, and to eat, so that you will not sin against the Lord, in eating with blood.” And so, each one, out of all the people, brought his ox, by his own hand, throughout the night. And they slew them there.

35 Lalu Saul mendirikan mezbah bagi TUHAN; itulah mezbah pertama yang didirikannya.

Then Saul built an altar to the Lord. And so, it was then that he first began to build an altar to the Lord.

36 Kemudian berkatalah Saul kepada anak buahnya, "Marilah kita menyerang orang Filistin pada malam ini lalu merampok mereka sampai pagi dan membunuh mereka semua." Mereka menjawab, "Baiklah Baginda lakukan apa yang Baginda pandang baik." Tetapi imam berkata, "Marilah kita lebih dahulu minta petunjuk dari Allah."

And Saul said: “Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and lay waste to them even until the morning light. And let us not leave behind a man among them.” And the people said, “Do all that seems good in your eyes.” And the priest said, “Let us draw near to God in this place.”

37 Lalu bertanyalah Saul kepada Allah, "Bolehkah aku menyerang orang Filistin? Apakah mereka akan Kauserahkan ke tangan Israel?" Tetapi pada hari itu Allah tidak menjawabnya.

And Saul consulted the Lord: “Shall I pursue the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hands of Israel?” And he did not respond to him on that day.

38 Sebab itu berkatalah Saul kepada para pemimpin rakyat, "Mari ke sini semua dan periksalah dosa apa yang telah dilakukan pada hari ini.

And Saul said: “Bring here every single leader of the people. And we shall know and see by whom this sin was committed this day.

39 Aku berjanji demi TUHAN yang hidup, yang telah memberikan kemenangan kepada Israel, bahwa orang yang bersalah akan dihukum mati, meskipun dia adalah Yonatan putraku." Tetapi tak seorang pun berani menjawabnya.

As the Lord lives, who is the Savior of Israel, even if it were done by my son Jonathan, without retraction he shall die.” In this, no one among all the people contradicted him.

40 Lalu berkatalah Saul kepada seluruh rakyat Israel, "Kamu semua berdiri di sebelah sini." Jawab mereka, "Hendaklah Baginda lakukan apa yang Baginda pandang baik."

And he said to all of Israel, “Separate yourselves on one side, and I, with my son Jonathan, will be on the other side.” And the people responded to Saul, “Do what seems good in your eyes.”

41 Kemudian berdoalah Saul, "TUHAN, Allah Israel, mengapa hari ini Engkau tidak menjawab aku? TUHAN, jawablah aku melalui batu-batu yang suci ini. Jika kesalahan itu ada padaku atau pada Yonatan, jawablah dengan batu Urim, tetapi jika kesalahan itu ada pada umat-Mu Israel, jawablah dengan batu Tumim." Maka jawaban TUHAN menunjuk kepada Yonatan dan Saul; dengan demikian rakyat dinyatakan tidak bersalah.

And Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel: “O Lord, God of Israel, grant a sign: Why is it that you will not respond to your servant this day? If this iniquity is in me, or in my son Jonathan, grant an indication. Or if this iniquity is in your people, grant a sanctification.” And Jonathan and Saul were discovered, but the people were released.

42 Lalu berkatalah Saul, "Ya TUHAN, tentukanlah antara aku dan Yonatan." Maka Yonatanlah yang dinyatakan bersalah.

And Saul said, “Cast lots between myself and Jonathan, my son.” And Jonathan was caught.

43 Lalu kata Saul kepada Yonatan, "Apa yang telah kauperbuat?" Yonatan menjawab, "Aku telah memakan sedikit madu yang kuambil dengan ujung tongkatku; aku bersedia untuk mati."

Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan revealed to him, and said: “Truly, I tasted a little honey with the top of the staff that was in my hand. And behold, I shall die.”

44 Kata Saul kepadanya, "Semoga aku dihukum Allah jika engkau tidak dihukum mati, Yonatan!"

And Saul said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, for you shall surely die, Jonathan!”

45 Tetapi rakyat berkata kepada Saul, "Haruskah Yonatan dihukum mati? Padahal dialah yang membawa kemenangan besar ini? Tidak! Kami berjanji demi TUHAN yang hidup, bahwa Yonatan tidak boleh kehilangan sehelai rambut pun dari kepalanya. Karena dengan pertolongan Tuhanlah, ia telah mendapat kemenangan pada hari ini." Demikianlah Yonatan diselamatkan rakyat dari hukuman mati.

And the people said to Saul: “Why should Jonathan have to die, who has accomplished this great salvation in Israel? This is wrong. As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head should fall to the ground. For he has wrought with God this day.” Therefore, the people freed Jonathan, so that he would not die.

46 Setelah itu orang Filistin kembali ke wilayah mereka sendiri karena Saul tidak mengejar mereka lagi.

And Saul withdrew, and he did not pursue the Philistines. And the Philistines went away to their own places.

47 Setelah Saul menjadi raja Israel, ia berperang di mana-mana melawan segala musuh Israel, yaitu orang Moab, orang Amon, dan orang Edom, raja-raja negeri Zoba, dan orang Filistin. Di mana pun ia berperang, selalu ia mendapat kemenangan.

And Saul, his kingdom having been confirmed over Israel, was fighting against all his enemies on all sides: against Moab, and the sons of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he was successful.

48 Ia bertempur dengan gagah berani dan mengalahkan orang Amalek, serta membebaskan Israel dari kuasa perampok.

And gathering together an army, he struck Amalek. And he rescued Israel from the hand of those who would lay waste to them.

49 Putra-putra Saul ialah Yonatan, Yiswi, dan Malkisua. Putrinya yang sulung bernama Merab, dan yang kedua bernama Mikhal.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And as for the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn daughter was Merab, and the name of the younger one was Michal.

50 Istrinya bernama Ahinoam, anak Ahimaas; panglima tentaranya adalah Abner anak Ner, yaitu paman Saul.

And the name of the wife of Saul was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the first ruler of his military was Abner, the son of Ner, the first cousin of Saul.

51 Kish ayah Saul, dan Ner ayah Abner, adalah anak-anak Abiel.

For Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner was the father of Abner, and the son of Abiel.

52 Selama hidupnya Saul selalu berperang dengan sengit melawan orang Filistin. Sebab itu, apabila Saul melihat orang yang kuat atau berani, ia segera menjadikannya anggota tentaranya.

Now there was a powerful war against the Philistines during all the days of Saul. And so, whomever Saul had seen to be a strong man, and fit for battle, he joined him to himself.
