1 Samuel 18
1 Setelah Saul dan Daud selesai bercakap-cakap, Daud diangkat oleh Saul menjadi pegawainya dan sejak hari itu ia tidak diizinkan pulang ke rumah orang tuanya. Yonatan putra Saul, telah mendengar percakapan itu. Ia merasa tertarik juga kepada Daud, dan mengasihinya seperti dirinya sendiri.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit on the soul of David; and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
And Saul took him on that day, and would not permit him to go home to his father's house.
3 Karena itu Yonatan bersumpah akan bersahabat dengan Daud selama-lamanya.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because of his loving him as his own soul.
4 Yonatan menanggalkan jubahnya lalu diberikannya kepada Daud, juga pakaian perangnya serta pedangnya, busurnya dan ikat pinggangnya.
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he had upon him, and gave it to David, and likewise his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 Daud melaksanakan dengan baik segala tugas yang diberikan Saul kepadanya. Sebab itu ia diangkat oleh Saul menjadi perwira dalam tentaranya, dan Daud disukai oleh semua prajurit serta oleh para hamba Saul.
And David went out; whithersoever Saul used to send him, he was successful; and Saul set him over the men of war; and he was accepted in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
6 Ketika Daud kembali sesudah mengalahkan Goliat orang Filistin itu, dan para prajurit berbaris masuk ke dalam kota, wanita-wanita keluar dari semua kota di Israel untuk menyambut Raja Saul. Mereka menyanyikan lagu-lagu gembira, dan menari-nari dengan memainkan rebana dan kecapi.
And it came to pass as they came home, when David returned from smiting the Philistines, that the women came forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with triangles.
7 Sambil menari-nari para wanita bernyanyi demikian, "Saul membunuh beribu-ribu musuh, tetapi Daud berpuluh-puluh ribu."
And the women that played answered one another, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8 Mendengar itu, Saul menjadi sangat marah. Sebab pikirnya, "Daud dianggap telah menewaskan berpuluh-puluh ribu, sedangkan aku hanya beribu-ribu saja. Sebentar lagi tentulah ia dijadikan raja oleh mereka!"
And Saul was very wroth, and this saying was displeasing in his eyes; and he said, They have given unto David ten thousands, and to me they have given the thousands: and all that he lacketh now yet is only the kingdom.
9 Sejak hari itu ia iri hati kepada Daud.
And Saul looked jealous on David from that day and forward.
10 Keesokan harinya Saul ada di dalam rumahnya sedang memegang tombaknya dan tiba-tiba ia didatangi roh jahat yang diutus Allah, sehingga ia mengamuk seperti orang gila. Waktu itu Daud sedang main kecapi seperti biasa.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came suddenly over Saul, and he spoke foolish things in the midst of the house: while David was playing with his hand, as on previous days; and the spear was in the hand of Saul.
11 "Kutancapkan tombak ini kepada Daud sampai tertancap ke dinding!" pikir Saul, lalu ia melemparkan tombak itu sampai dua kali kepada Daud, tetapi Daud berhasil mengelak.
And Saul cast the spear; and he thought, I will strike David through even on the wall. And David turned aside out of his presence twice.
12 Saul menyadari bahwa Daud dilindungi TUHAN sedangkan ia sendiri ditinggalkan TUHAN. Karena itu ia menjadi takut terhadap Daud.
And Saul was afraid of David; because the Lord was with him, and from Saul he was departed.
13 Maka ia memindahkan Daud dari lingkungan istana, dengan mengangkatnya menjadi komandan atas seribu orang prajurit. Dengan demikian Daud memimpin pasukannya dalam setiap peperangan.
Therefore Saul removed him from himself, and made him his captain over a thousand: and he went out and came in before the people.
14 Ia berhasil melaksanakan segala tugasnya, sebab TUHAN menolongnya.
And David was successful on all his ways; and the Lord was with him.
15 Ketika Saul melihat bahwa Daud selalu berhasil, makin takutlah ia kepadanya.
And when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was in dread of him.
16 Tetapi seluruh Israel dan Yehuda sayang kepada Daud karena ia pemimpin yang banyak jasanya.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; because he went out and came in before them.
17 Saul merencanakan supaya Daud dibunuh oleh orang Filistin dalam pertempuran agar bukan dia sendiri yang membunuhnya. Jadi pada suatu hari Saul berkata kepada Daud, "Merab putriku yang sulung, akan kujodohkan dengan engkau, asal saja engkau menunjukkan keberanianmu dalam berperang untuk TUHAN."
And Saul said to David, Behold, here is my eldest daughter Merab, her will I give to thee for wife: only be thou unto me a man of valor, and fight the Lord's battles. And Saul thought, Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.
18 Daud menjawab, "Siapakah hamba ini, dan apalah arti keluarga ayah hamba di Israel, sehingga hamba menjadi menantu Raja?"
And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be a son-in-law to the king?
19 Tetapi ketika tiba waktunya Merab hendak dikawinkan dengan Daud, tahu-tahu gadis itu dikawinkan dengan Adriel dari Mehola.
But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto 'Adriel the Mecholathite for wife.
20 Mikhal putri Saul yang lain jatuh cinta kepada Daud. Ketika Saul mendengar hal itu, ia setuju juga.
And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told it to Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
21 Pikirnya, "Baiklah kutawarkan Mikhal kepada Daud, supaya Daud terjebak dan dapat dibunuh oleh orang Filistin." Jadi untuk kedua kalinya Saul berkata kepada Daud, "Sekarang engkau boleh menjadi menantuku."
And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may become unto him a snare, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Through the second shalt thou this day become my son-in-law.
22 Lalu ia menyuruh para pegawainya supaya mengatakan kepada Daud dengan diam-diam, demikian, "Baginda sayang kepadamu dan demikian juga semua pegawainya; jadi sekaranglah saat yang tepat bagimu untuk mempersunting putrinya."
And Saul commanded his servants, Speak to David secretly, saying, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee; and now thou must become the king's son-in-law.
23 Tetapi ketika mereka menyampaikan saran itu kepada Daud, ia menjawab, "Kalian kira mudah untuk menjadi menantu raja? Aku ini orang miskin dan tidak berarti!"
And the servants of Saul spoke in the ears of David these words. And David said, Doth it seem so light in your eyes to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and of light esteem?
24 Para pegawai itu memberitahukan kepada Saul jawaban Daud itu,
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, Words such as these David hath spoken.
25 lalu Saul menyuruh mereka mengatakan kepada Daud, begini, "Yang dikehendaki baginda sebagai emas kawin hanyalah 100 kulit kulup orang Filistin, sebagai pembalasan kepada musuh baginda." (Inilah yang direncanakan Saul untuk menewaskan Daud dengan perantaraan orang Filistin.)
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king's enemies. But Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Para pegawai Saul menyampaikan pesan itu kepada Daud, dan Daud menerima tawaran raja. Karena itu, sebelum batas waktunya habis, ia berangkat dengan anak buahnya ke daerah Filistin. Dibunuhnya 200 orang Filistin, lalu diambilnya kulit kulup mereka, dan diserahkannya kepada Saul tanpa kurang satu pun. Setelah itu Saul mengawinkan Mikhal dengan Daud.
And when his servants told David these words, the thing was pleasing in the eyes of David to become the king's son-in-law: and the days were not complete,
When David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they counted them out in full to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for wife.
28 Demikianlah Saul menyadari bahwa Daud dilindungi TUHAN dan juga dicintai oleh Mikhal putrinya.
And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him.
29 Maka makin takutlah ia kepada Daud dan ia membencinya seumur hidupnya.
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy all the time.
30 Setiap kali bilamana tentara Filistin datang menyerang, Daud lebih berhasil menumpas mereka daripada para perwira Saul yang lain. Maka makin masyhurlah Daud.
And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly prized.
