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.

Now it came to pass on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not 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.

And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were 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 Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD’s priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was 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.

And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

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

The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against 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."

And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save 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 in your heart: turn you; behold, I am with you according to your heart.

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

Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to these men, and we will discover ourselves to 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 say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up 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 say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up: for the LORD has delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a 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 both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

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 answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me: for the LORD has delivered them into the hand 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.

And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer slew after him.

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

And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.

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 there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

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 in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.

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.

Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

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 Ahiah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

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 it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: 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.

And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

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 that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that 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 men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

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

So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over to 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 distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eats any food until evening, that I may be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.

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

And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey on the ground.

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

And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared 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 heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: why he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

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.'"

Then answered one of the people, and said, Your father straightly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eats any food this day. And 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.

Then said Jonathan, My father has troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened, 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, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter 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,

And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.

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 the people flew on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the 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 told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, You have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this day.

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 people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

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

And Saul built an altar to the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built 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 go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to you. Then said the priest, Let us draw near here to God.

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 asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? will you deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not 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, Draw you near here, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin has been 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.

For, as the LORD lives, which saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered 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."

Then said he to all Israel, Be you on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to you.

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.

Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.

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

And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

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 told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand, and, see, I must die.

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

And Saul answered, God do so and more also: 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, Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

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

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

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.

So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he vexed them.

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

And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled 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 Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

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

And the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.

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

And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was 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.

And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
