2 Samuel 1

1 Setelah Saul wafat, Daud kembali dari pertempuran mengalahkan orang Amalek, lalu tinggal di Ziklag selama dua hari.

And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from striking Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.

2 Keesokan harinya, datanglah seorang pemuda dari perkemahan Saul. Sebagai tanda berkabung ia telah mengoyak pakaiannya dan menaruh tanah di atas kepalanya. Ia pergi kepada Daud dan sujud di hadapannya.

And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were tore, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.

3 Daud bertanya kepadanya, "Dari mana engkau?" Jawabnya, "Hamba lolos dari perkemahan orang Israel."

And David said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.

4 Tanya Daud, "Ceritakanlah apa yang telah terjadi!" Jawab pemuda itu, "Tentara kami melarikan diri dari pertempuran, dan banyak yang gugur, termasuk Saul dan Yonatan."

And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.

5 "Bagaimana kau tahu?" tanya Daud kepadanya.

And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?

6 Jawabnya, "Kebetulan sekali hamba ada di Gunung Gilboa, lalu melihat Saul bersandar pada tombaknya, sedangkan kereta-kereta dan tentara berkuda musuh, sudah mendekat hendak mengepungnya.

And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.

7 Saul menoleh ke belakang, dan melihat hamba, lalu hamba dipanggilnya, dan hamba menjawab, 'Ya, Tuanku.'

And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.

8 Ia bertanya siapa hamba, dan hamba memberitahukan kepadanya bahwa hamba ini orang Amalek.

And he said to me, Who are you? and I said, I am an Amalekite.

9 Lalu katanya kepada hamba, 'Ke marilah, dan bunuhlah aku! Aku luka parah, dan hampir mati.'

And he said to me, Stand, I pray you, over me, and kill me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.

10 Maka hamba dekati dia, dan hamba bunuh, sebab hamba tahu bahwa jika ia jatuh karena tak kuat lagi berdiri, pasti ia akan mati juga. Lalu hamba ambil mahkota dari kepalanya dan gelang dari lengannya, dan hamba bawa ke mari kepada Tuanku."

So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.

11 Mendengar itu Daud menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan semua anak buahnya berbuat demikian juga.

And David laid hold of his garments, and tore them; and all the men who were with him tore their garments.

12 Mereka meratap dan berkabung serta berpuasa sampai malam untuk Saul dan Yonatan, dan untuk rakyat Israel, umat TUHAN, sebab banyak sekali yang telah gugur dalam pertempuran itu.

And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were struck with the sword.

13 Kemudian Daud bertanya kepada pemuda yang membawa kabar itu, "Dari mana asalmu?" Jawabnya, "Hamba ini orang Amalek, seorang perantau di negeri Tuanku."

And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence are you? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.

14 Daud berkata, "Berani sekali engkau membunuh raja pilihan TUHAN!"

And David said to him, How was it you were not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?

15 Lalu ia memanggil salah seorang dari anak buahnya dan memerintahkan, "Bunuhlah dia!" Orang itu membacok pemuda Amalek itu sampai mati.

And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he struck him, and he died.

16 Kata Daud kepada pemuda Amalek itu, "Engkau sendiri yang menjatuhkan hukuman mati ini atas dirimu dengan mengakui bahwa telah kaubunuh raja yang dipilih TUHAN!"

And David said to him, Your blood [be] upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.

17 Setelah itu Daud menyanyikan ratapan ini untuk Saul dan Yonatan,

And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.

18 dan memerintahkan supaya nyanyian ini diajarkan kepada suku Yehuda. (Nyanyian ini tertulis dalam Buku Yasar).

And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.

19 "Israel, di bukit-bukitmu, nun di sana gugurlah pahlawan, para putra negara, runtuhlah mereka sebagai bunga bangsa.

Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!

20 Semoga orang-orang Gat tak mendengar berita itu. Semoga lorong-lorong Askelon tak mendapat kabar tentang itu. Jangan sampai wanita Filistin bersorak-sorai jangan sampai perempuan kafir berpekik ramai.

Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21 Hai bukit-bukit Gilboa, dengarlah seruanku: Jangan sampai embun dan hujan membasahimu! Biarlah kering dan tandus ladang dan padangmu. Sebab di sanalah terdampar perisai pemberani. Dan perisai Saul pun berkarat, tak diminyaki lagi.

You mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

22 Panah Yonatan ampuh, mematikan. Pedang Saul tak mengenal kasihan membunuh musuh, membinasakan lawan.

From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.

23 Saul dan Yonatan, begitu ramah dan dikasihi; senantiasa bersatu dalam hidup dan mati; mereka lebih cepat dari burung garuda, lebih kuat dari singa muda.

Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.

24 Hai, wanita Israel, ratapilah Saul, sang raja! Yang mendandanimu dengan gaun merah yang mewah, dan menghiasmu dengan mas permata yang indah.

Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.

25 Telah gugur para pahlawan, jatuh di medan pertempuran dan di bukit-bukit lengang Yonatan terbujur, tegang.

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon your high places!

26 Yonatan, hai saudaraku, hatiku pilu, sebab engkau sangat berharga bagiku. Kasihmu kepadaku amat mulia, malahan melebihi kasih wanita.

I am grieved for you, my brother Jonathan; you were very lovely to me; your love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.

27 Telah gugur para pahlawan bangsa. Tersia-sialah senjata mereka!"

How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
