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 comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
3 Karena itu Yonatan bersumpah akan bersahabat dengan Daud selama-lamanya.
And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
4 Yonatan menanggalkan jubahnya lalu diberikannya kepada Daud, juga pakaian perangnya serta pedangnya, busurnya dan ikat pinggangnya.
and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, 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 goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good 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 comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
7 Sambil menari-nari para wanita bernyanyi demikian, "Saul membunuh beribu-ribu musuh, tetapi Daud berpuluh-puluh ribu."
and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
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 it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
9 Sejak hari itu ia iri hati kepada Daud.
And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
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 comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] 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 casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around 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 is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
13 Maka ia memindahkan Daud dari lingkungan istana, dengan mengangkatnya menjadi komandan atas seribu orang prajurit. Dengan demikian Daud memimpin pasukannya dalam setiap peperangan.
and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
14 Ia berhasil melaksanakan segala tugasnya, sebab TUHAN menolongnya.
And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
15 Ketika Saul melihat bahwa Daud selalu berhasil, makin takutlah ia kepadanya.
and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
16 Tetapi seluruh Israel dan Yehuda sayang kepada Daud karena ia pemimpin yang banyak jasanya.
and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming 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 says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
18 Daud menjawab, "Siapakah hamba ini, dan apalah arti keluarga ayah hamba di Israel, sehingga hamba menjadi menantu Raja?"
And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
19 Tetapi ketika tiba waktunya Merab hendak dikawinkan dengan Daud, tahu-tahu gadis itu dikawinkan dengan Adriel dari Mehola.
And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
20 Mikhal putri Saul yang lain jatuh cinta kepada Daud. Ketika Saul mendengar hal itu, ia setuju juga.
And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is 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 says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
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 commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
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 speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
24 Para pegawai itu memberitahukan kepada Saul jawaban Daud itu,
And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
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 says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and 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 his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
28 Demikianlah Saul menyadari bahwa Daud dilindungi TUHAN dan juga dicintai oleh Mikhal putrinya.
And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
29 Maka makin takutlah ia kepada Daud dan ia membencinya seumur hidupnya.
and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
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 come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
