2 Samuel 19
1 Kepada Yoab diberitahukan bahwa Raja Daud menangis dan berkabung untuk Absalom.
And it is declared to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom”;
2 Maka kemenangan pada hari itu berubah menjadi kesedihan bagi seluruh tentara Daud karena mereka mendengar bahwa raja menangisi putranya.
and the salvation on that day becomes mourning to all the people, for the people have heard on that day, saying, “The king has been grieved for his son.”
3 Dengan diam-diam mereka kembali ke kota, seperti tentara yang merasa malu karena melarikan diri dari pertempuran.
And the people steals away, on that day, to go into the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;
4 Raja menyelubungi mukanya dan meratap dengan nyaring, "Oh anakku! Anakku Absalom! Absalom, anakku!"
and the king has covered his face, indeed, the king cries [with] a loud voice, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
5 Yoab pergi menghadap raja dan berkata, "Pada hari ini Baginda memalukan anak buah Baginda, padahal merekalah yang telah menyelamatkan nyawa Baginda, nyawa putra-putri Baginda, istri dan selir Baginda.
And Joab comes into the house to the king and says, “Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants, those delivering your life today, and the life of your sons, and of your daughters, and the life of your wives, and the life of your concubines,
6 Baginda mengasihi orang-orang yang membenci Baginda, tetapi Baginda membenci orang-orang yang mengasihi Baginda! Dengan jelas Baginda memperlihatkan bahwa para perwira dan para prajurit Baginda sama sekali tidak berarti bagi Baginda. Malahan nampaknya Baginda akan sangat senang seandainya pada hari ini Absalom masih hidup dan kami semua mati!
to love your enemies, and to hate those loving you, for today you have declared that you have no princes and servants, for today I have known that if Absalom [were] alive, and all of us dead today, that then it were right in your eyes.
7 Hendaknya Baginda bangkit dan pergi ke luar untuk menenteramkan hati anak buah Baginda. Hamba bersumpah demi TUHAN, jika Baginda tidak ke luar menemui mereka, maka malam ini juga tidak akan ada seorang pun yang mau menyertai Baginda. Itu akan merupakan bencana yang paling besar yang akan Baginda alami seumur hidup."
And now, rise, go out and speak to the heart of your servants, for I have sworn by YHWH, that [if] you are not going out—there does not lodge a man with you tonight; and this [is] worse for you than all the evil that has come on you from your youth until now.”
8 Kemudian bangkitlah raja dan pergi ke luar, dan duduk di dekat pintu gerbang. Anak buahnya mendengar bahwa dia ada di situ, lalu mereka semua datang menghadap. Sementara itu seluruh pasukan Israel telah melarikan diri, dan pulang ke rumahnya masing-masing.
And the king rises, and sits in the gate, and they have declared to all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate”; and all the people come in before the king, and Israel has fled, each to his tents.
9 Di kalangan semua suku Israel timbullah pertengkaran. Kata mereka, "Raja Daud telah menyelamatkan kita dari orang Filistin dan melepaskan kita dari musuh-musuh yang lain, tetapi sekarang dia sudah melarikan diri dari Absalom dan meninggalkan negeri ini.
And it comes to pass, all the people are contending through all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, indeed, he himself delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled out of the land because of Absalom,
10 Absalom kita lantik menjadi raja, tapi sekarang telah gugur dalam pertempuran. Mengapa tak ada seorang pun yang berusaha untuk membawa Raja Daud kembali?"
and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle, and now, why are you silent—to bring back the king?”
11 Kata-kata itu sampai juga kepada Raja Daud. Sebab itu dia menyuruh Imam Zadok dan Imam Abyatar menanyakan kepada para pemimpin Yehuda demikian, "Mengapa kamu menjadi yang terakhir untuk menyambut dan mengiringi raja kembali ke istananya?
And King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to [the] elderly of Judah, saying, Why are you last to bring back the king to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, to his house;
12 Bukankah kamu sanak saudaraku dan kaum kerabatku? Masakan kamu yang terakhir memohon supaya aku pulang?"
you [are] my brothers, you [are] my bone and my flesh, and why are you last to bring back the king?
13 Daud juga menyuruh mereka mengatakan kepada Amasa demikian, "Bukankah engkau kerabatku? Mulai sekarang aku mengangkat engkau menjadi panglima tentaraku menggantikan Yoab. Kiranya Allah membunuh aku jika hal itu tidak kulakukan!"
And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? Thus God does to me, and thus He adds, if you are not head of the host before me instead of Joab [for] all the days.”
14 Begitulah Daud berhasil mengambil hati semua orang Yehuda sehingga mereka mengirimkan pesan kepada raja supaya kembali ke istana bersama-sama dengan semua pegawainya.
And he inclines the heart of all the men of Judah as one man, and they send to the king, “Return, you and all your servants.”
15 Lalu berangkatlah raja dan sampai di Sungai Yordan, sementara itu orang-orang Yehuda sudah sampai di Gilgal untuk menjemput raja dan mengawal dia menyeberangi sungai itu.
And the king turns back, and comes to the Jordan, and Judah has come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan,
16 Simei anak Gera, orang Benyamin itu membawa seribu orang dari suku Benyamin dan cepat-cepat datang bersama orang-orang Yehuda itu untuk menyambut raja. Begitu juga Ziba budak keluarga Saul, beserta kelima belas orang anaknya yang laki-laki dan kedua puluh orang budaknya; mereka telah menyeberangi Sungai Yordan sebelum raja tiba.
and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from Bahurim, hurries, and comes down with the men of Judah, to meet King David,
and one thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over the Jordan before the king.
18 Mereka membantu keluarga raja menyeberangi serta melakukan segala yang disuruh raja kepada mereka. Pada saat raja hendak menyeberangi sungai, Simei sujud di hadapannya dan berkata,
And the ferry-boat has passed over to carry over the household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his eyes, and Shimei son of Gera has fallen before the king in his passing over into the Jordan,
19 "Hamba mohon, kiranya Baginda tidak menganggap hamba tetap bersalah. Sudilah Baginda melupakan apa yang hamba lakukan pada hari Baginda meninggalkan Yerusalem.
and he says to the king, “Do not let my lord impute iniquity to me; neither remember that which your servant did perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from Jerusalem—for the king to set [it] to his heart;
20 Hamba sudah insaf, bahwa hamba telah berbuat dosa, dan oleh karena itu, di antara suku-suku yang tinggal di daerah utara hambalah yang pertama-tama datang menyambut Baginda pada hari ini."
for your servant has known that I have sinned; and behold, I have come today, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.”
21 Mendengar itu Abisai anak Zeruya berkata, "Simei sudah patut dihukum mati karena dia telah mengutuki raja yang dipilih TUHAN."
And Abishai son of Zeruiah answers and says, “Is Shimei not put to death for this—because he reviled the anointed of YHWH?”
22 Tetapi Daud berkata kepada Abisai dan Yoab abangnya, "Jangan ikut campur. Mengapa kalian menyusahkan aku? Pada hari ini aku menjadi raja lagi atas Israel, dan tak boleh ada orang Israel yang dihukum mati."
And David says, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that today you are for an adversary to me? Is any man put to death in Israel today? For have I not known that today I [am] king over Israel?”
23 Kemudian bersumpahlah raja kepada Simei, "Aku menjamin bahwa engkau tidak akan dihukum mati."
And the king says to Shimei, “You do not die”; and the king swears to him.
24 Juga Mefiboset cucu Saul, datang untuk ikut menyambut raja. Dia tidak membasuh kakinya, tidak memotong jenggotnya, dan tidak mencuci pakaiannya sejak Raja Daud meninggalkan Yerusalem sampai ia kembali dengan selamat.
And Mephibosheth son of Saul has come down to meet the king—and he did not prepare his feet, nor did he prepare his upper lip, indeed, he did not wash his garments, even from the day of the going away of the king, until the day that he came in peace—
25 Ketika Mefiboset datang dari Yerusalem untuk menyambut raja, berkatalah raja kepadanya, "Mefiboset, mengapa engkau tidak ikut dengan aku waktu itu?"
and it comes to pass, when he has come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king says to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26 Jawabnya, "Yang Mulia, Baginda tahu hamba ini pincang. Hamba menyuruh pelayan hamba menyiapkan keledai yang dapat hamba tunggangi untuk mengikuti Baginda. Tetapi hamba dikhianati oleh pelayan itu.
And he says, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me, for your servant said, I saddle the donkey for myself, and ride on it, and go with the king, for your servant [is] lame;
27 Malahan hamba difitnahnya terhadap Baginda. Tetapi Baginda seperti malaikat Allah. Sebab itu lakukanlah apa yang Tuanku rasa baik.
and he utters slander against your servant to my lord the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and do that which is good in your eyes,
28 Seluruh kaum keluarga ayah hamba patut dihukum mati oleh Baginda, namun hamba ini telah Baginda izinkan ikut makan di istana. Sekarang hamba tidak berani lagi meminta apa-apa dari Baginda."
for all the house of my father have been nothing except men of death before my lord the king, and you set your servant among those eating at your table, and what right do I have anymore—even to cry anymore to the king?”
29 Raja menjawab, "Tidak perlu engkau mengatakan apa-apa lagi. Aku telah memutuskan untuk memberi segala harta Saul kepadamu dan kepada Ziba."
And the king says to him, “Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said, You and Ziba—share the field.”
30 Lalu jawab Mefiboset, "Biarlah Ziba mengambil semuanya. Hamba sudah merasa puas karena Baginda sudah pulang dengan selamat."
And Mephibosheth says to the king, “Indeed, let him take the whole, after that my lord the king has come in peace to his house.”
31 Juga Barzilai orang Gilead itu datang dari Rogelim untuk mengiringi raja menyeberangi Sungai Yordan.
And Barzillai the Gileadite has gone down from Rogelim, and passes over the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan;
32 Barzilai sudah sangat tua, umurnya sudah delapan puluh tahun. Dia amat kaya dan selama raja tinggal di Mahanaim dahulu, Barzilailah yang menyediakan makanan bagi raja.
and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and he has sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he [is] a very great man;
33 Raja berkata kepadanya, "Ikutlah dengan aku ke Yerusalem, nanti akan kusediakan segala kebutuhanmu di sana."
and the king says to Barzillai, “Pass over with me, and I have sustained you in Jerusalem with me.”
34 Tetapi Barzilai menjawab, "Hamba tidak akan hidup lama lagi. Jadi apa gunanya hamba ikut dengan Baginda ke Yerusalem?
And Barzillai says to the king, “How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35 Umur hamba sudah delapan puluh tahun, dan tak ada lagi yang dapat memberi kesenangan kepada hamba. Hamba tidak dapat lagi menikmati apa yang hamba makan atau hamba minum, dan tidak dapat lagi mendengar suara orang bernyanyi. Hamba hanya akan menjadi beban bagi Baginda.
I [am] a son of eighty years today; do I know between good and evil? Does your servant taste that which I am eating, and that which I drink? Do I listen anymore to the voice of male and female singers? And why is your servant for a burden to my lord the king anymore?
36 Hamba tidak layak menerima upah sebesar itu. Hamba hanya ingin mengiringi Baginda beberapa langkah saja dari seberang Sungai Yordan.
As a little thing, your servant passes over the Jordan with the king, and why does the king repay me this repayment?
37 Sesudah itu, biarkanlah hamba pulang ke rumah dan meninggal di dekat kuburan orang tua hamba, tetapi inilah anak hamba Kimham. Izinkanlah dia mengiringi Baginda dan perbuatlah kepadanya apa yang Baginda pandang baik."
Please let your servant turn back again, and I die in my own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my mother—and behold, your servant Chimham, let him pass over with my lord the king, and do to him that which [is] good in your eyes.”
38 Raja menjawab, "Kimham akan kubawa dan akan kuurus seperti keinginanmu, dan segala yang kauminta kepadaku akan kupenuhi."
And the king says, “Chimham goes over with me, and I do to him that which [is] good in your eyes, indeed, all that you fix on me I do to you.”
39 Kemudian Daud dan seluruh anak buahnya menyeberangi Sungai Yordan. Lalu Daud mencium Barzilai dan berpamitan dengan dia. Setelah itu pulanglah Barzilai ke rumahnya.
And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king has passed over, and the king gives a kiss to Barzillai, and blesses him, and he turns back to his place.
40 Seluruh pasukan Yehuda dan setengah dari pasukan Israel mengiringi raja menyeberangi sungai. Sesudah itu raja terus ke Gilgal, dan Kimham ikut dengan dia.
And the king passes over to Gilgal, and Chimham has passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel.
41 Kemudian datanglah semua orang Israel menghadap raja dan berkata kepadanya, "Baginda, mengapa saudara kami orang-orang Yehuda itu mengira bahwa merekalah yang berhak untuk menjemput dan mengawal Baginda bersama seluruh keluarga dan anak buah Baginda menyeberangi Sungai Yordan?"
And behold, all the men of Israel are coming to the king, and they say to the king, “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you—and they bring the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”
42 Lalu orang Yehuda menjawab, "Tentu saja, karena raja adalah kerabat kami. Mengapa kalian menjadi marah? Apakah kebutuhan kami ditanggung oleh raja, atau telah diberinya hadiah kepada kami?"
And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel, “Because the king [is] near to us, and why [is] this [that] you are displeased about this matter? Have we eaten of the king’s [substance] at all? Has he lifted up a gift to us?”
43 Orang Israel menjawab, "Hak kami atas raja sepuluh kali lebih besar dari hak kalian, walaupun raja adalah kerabat kalian. Mengapa kalian pandang enteng terhadap kami? Jangan lupa bahwa kamilah yang pertama-tama sekali mengusulkan untuk membawa raja kembali!" Tetapi orang Yehuda lebih keras daripada orang Israel dan tidak mau kalah.
And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say, “We have ten parts in the king, and also more than you in David; and why have you lightly esteemed us, that our word has not been first to bring back our king?” And the word of the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
