2 Samuel 1
1 Setelah Saul wafat, Daud kembali dari pertempuran mengalahkan orang Amalek, lalu tinggal di Ziklag selama dua hari.
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
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.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 Daud bertanya kepadanya, "Dari mana engkau?" Jawabnya, "Hamba lolos dari perkemahan orang Israel."
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
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."
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 "Bagaimana kau tahu?" tanya Daud kepadanya.
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan 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.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 Saul menoleh ke belakang, dan melihat hamba, lalu hamba dipanggilnya, dan hamba menjawab, 'Ya, Tuanku.'
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 Ia bertanya siapa hamba, dan hamba memberitahukan kepadanya bahwa hamba ini orang Amalek.
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 Lalu katanya kepada hamba, 'Ke marilah, dan bunuhlah aku! Aku luka parah, dan hampir mati.'
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
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 went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Mendengar itu Daud menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan semua anak buahnya berbuat demikian juga.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
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.
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 Kemudian Daud bertanya kepada pemuda yang membawa kabar itu, "Dari mana asalmu?" Jawabnya, "Hamba ini orang Amalek, seorang perantau di negeri Tuanku."
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 Daud berkata, "Berani sekali engkau membunuh raja pilihan TUHAN!"
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 Lalu ia memanggil salah seorang dari anak buahnya dan memerintahkan, "Bunuhlah dia!" Orang itu membacok pemuda Amalek itu sampai mati.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
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!"
17 Setelah itu Daud menyanyikan ratapan ini untuk Saul dan Yonatan,
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 dan memerintahkan supaya nyanyian ini diajarkan kepada suku Yehuda. (Nyanyian ini tertulis dalam Buku Yasar).
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 "Israel, di bukit-bukitmu, nun di sana gugurlah pahlawan, para putra negara, runtuhlah mereka sebagai bunga bangsa.
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
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.
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
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.
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 Panah Yonatan ampuh, mematikan. Pedang Saul tak mengenal kasihan membunuh musuh, membinasakan lawan.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
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 were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] 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.
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Telah gugur para pahlawan, jatuh di medan pertempuran dan di bukit-bukit lengang Yonatan terbujur, tegang.
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Yonatan, hai saudaraku, hatiku pilu, sebab engkau sangat berharga bagiku. Kasihmu kepadaku amat mulia, malahan melebihi kasih wanita.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 Telah gugur para pahlawan bangsa. Tersia-sialah senjata mereka!"
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
