< 2 Samuel 5 >
1 Setelah itu datanglah semua pemimpin suku-suku Israel kepada Daud di Hebron dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami ini kerabat Baginda.
Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Sejak dahulu, bahkan ketika Saul masih memerintah kami, Baginda juga yang memimpin tentara Israel setiap kali mereka maju berperang, lagipula TUHAN telah berjanji kepada Baginda bahwa Bagindalah yang akan memimpin umat-Nya dan menjadi raja mereka."
Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were he that led out and brought in Israel: and the LORD said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be a captain over Israel.
3 Daud membuat perjanjian dengan pemimpin-pemimpin Israel itu di Hebron, lalu mereka melantik dia menjadi raja Israel.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 Daud berumur tiga puluh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja, dan ia memerintah empat puluh tahun lamanya.
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 Di Hebron ia memerintah Yehuda selama tujuh setengah tahun, dan di Yerusalem ia memerintah seluruh Israel dan Yehuda selama tiga puluh tiga tahun.
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
6 Pada suatu hari Raja Daud dan anak buahnya berangkat hendak menyerang Yerusalem. Orang Yebus penduduk kota itu, mengira bahwa Daud tidak akan dapat mengalahkan Yerusalem. Sebab itu mereka berkata kepadanya, "Engkau tidak akan dapat masuk ke mari; orang-orang buta dan orang-orang pincang pun sanggup mengusirmu."
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spoke unto David, saying, Except you take away the blind and the lame, you shall not come in here: thinking, David cannot come in here.
7 Daud berkata kepada anak buahnya, "Adakah di sini orang yang membenci orang Yebus sama seperti aku membenci mereka? Cukup bencikah dia sehingga ingin sekali membunuh mereka? Kalau begitu, masuklah melalui terowongan air dan seranglah orang-orang pincang dan buta yang kubenci itu." (Itulah sebabnya orang berkata, "Orang buta dan orang pincang tidak boleh masuk Rumah TUHAN.") Daud berhasil merebut benteng Sion dan mendudukinya. Ia menamakannya "Kota Daud". Kota itu dibangunnya di sekeliling benteng itu, mulai dari sebelah timur bukit yang ditinggikan dengan tanah.
Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
And David said on that day, Whosoever gets up to the watercourse, and strikes the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
10 Daud makin lama makin kuat, karena TUHAN, Allah Yang Mahakuasa menolongnya.
And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.
11 Raja Hiram dari negeri Tirus mengirim duta-dutanya kepada Daud, juga kayu cemara Libanon dan tukang-tukang kayu serta tukang-tukang batu untuk mendirikan istana.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and stone workers: and they built David an house.
12 Karena itu Daud merasa yakin bahwa TUHAN telah mengukuhkan dia sebagai raja Israel, dan menguatkan kerajaannya untuk kepentingan umat TUHAN.
And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
13 Sesudah Daud pindah dari Hebron ke Yerusalem, ia memperistri lagi beberapa wanita dan mengambil beberapa wanita pula untuk selirnya; maka bertambahlah putra-putrinya.
And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
14 Putra-putranya yang dilahirkan di Yerusalem adalah: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,
Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
16 Elisama, Elyada dan Elifelet.
And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
17 Ketika orang Filistin mendengar bahwa Daud telah dijadikan raja Israel, mereka datang hendak menangkap dia. Tetapi Daud mendengar hal itu, lalu pergi ke benteng.
But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
18 Orang Filistin sampai di Lembah Refaim dan mendudukinya.
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
19 Daud bertanya kepada TUHAN, "Haruskah aku menyerang orang Filistin itu? Apakah Engkau akan memberikan kemenangan kepadaku?" "Seranglah!" jawab TUHAN. "Aku akan memberikan kemenangan kepadamu!"
And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? will you deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.
20 Kemudian pergilah Daud ke Baal-Perasim dan di situ pasukan Filistin itu dikalahkannya. Lalu ia berkata, "TUHAN telah mendobrak pertahanan musuhku, seperti banjir merobohkan segalanya dalam seketika." Sebab itu tempat itu disebut Baal-Perasim.
And David came to Baalperazim, and David stroke them there, and said, The LORD has broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
21 Pasukan Filistin lari tanpa sempat membawa patung-patung berhala mereka. Patung-patung itu diambil oleh Daud dan anak buahnya.
And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
22 Tidak lama kemudian orang Filistin datang lagi menduduki Lembah Refaim.
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
23 Sekali lagi Daud meminta petunjuk kepada TUHAN. Jawab TUHAN, "Jangan menyerang mereka dari sini, tetapi berjalanlah memutar dan seranglah mereka dari belakang, dekat pohon-pohon murbei.
And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, You shall not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry trees.
24 Bilamana kaudengar bunyi seperti derap orang berbaris di puncak pohon-pohon itu, maka majulah, sebab Aku akan berjalan di depanmu untuk mengalahkan tentara Filistin."
And let it be, when you hear the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall bestir yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before you, to strike the host of the Philistines.
25 Daud melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN, dan ia berhasil memukul mundur orang Filistin dari Geba sampai ke Gezer.
And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and stroke the Philistines from Geba until you come to Gazer.
