< 2 Samuel 5 >

1 Setelah itu datanglah semua pemimpin suku-suku Israel kepada Daud di Hebron dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami ini kerabat Baginda.
And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, 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."
And heretofore Saul being king over us, you was he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a leader to my people Israel.
3 Daud membuat perjanjian dengan pemimpin-pemimpin Israel itu di Hebron, lalu mereka melantik dia menjadi raja Israel.
And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all 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.
Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.
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 David and his men, departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, You shall not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.
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.
And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.
8
And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
9
And David lived in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and [he built] his own house.
10 Daud makin lama makin kuat, karena TUHAN, Allah Yang Mahakuasa menolongnya.
And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty [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 Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.
12 Karena itu Daud merasa yakin bahwa TUHAN telah mengukuhkan dia sebagai raja Israel, dan menguatkan kerajaannya untuk kepentingan umat TUHAN.
And David knew that the Lord had prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
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 again wives and concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had still more sons and daughters born to him.
14 Putra-putranya yang dilahirkan di Yerusalem adalah: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon.
15 Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,
And Ebear, and Elisue, and Naphec, and Jephies.
16 Elisama, Elyada dan Elifelet.
And Elisama, and Elidae, and Eliphalath, Samae, Jessibath, Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan, Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.
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.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.
18 Orang Filistin sampai di Lembah Refaim dan mendudukinya.
And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.
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 against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.
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 from Upper Breaches, and struck the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed; therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.
21 Pasukan Filistin lari tanpa sempat membawa patung-patung berhala mereka. Patung-patung itu diambil oleh Daud dan anak buahnya.
And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.
22 Tidak lama kemudian orang Filistin datang lagi menduduki Lembah Refaim.
And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.
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 David enquired of the Lord: and the Lord said, You shall not go up to meet them: turn from them, and you shall meet them near the place of weeping.
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 it shall come to pass when you hear the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping, then you shall go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before you to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.
25 Daud melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN, dan ia berhasil memukul mundur orang Filistin dari Geba sampai ke Gezer.
And David did as the Lord commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
