1 Samuel 13
1 Saul berumur sekian tahun ketika ia menjadi raja; dua tahun ia memerintah atas Israel.
Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
2 Saul memilih tiga ribu orang dari antara orang Israel; dua ribu orang ada bersama-sama dengan Saul di Mikhmas dan di pegunungan Betel, sedang seribu orang ada bersama-sama dengan Yonatan di Gibea Benyamin, tetapi selebihnya dari rakyat itu disuruhnya pulang, masing-masing ke kemahnya.
Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
3 Yonatan memukul kalah pasukan pendudukan orang Filistin yang ada di Geba; dan hal itu terdengar oleh orang Filistin. Karena itu Saul menyuruh meniup sangkakala di seluruh negeri, sebab pikirnya: "Biarlah orang Ibrani mendengarnya."
Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
4 Demikianlah seluruh orang Israel mendengar kabar, bahwa Saul telah memukul kalah pasukan pendudukan orang Filistin dan dengan demikian orang Israel dibenci oleh orang Filistin. Kemudian dikerahkanlah rakyat itu untuk mengikuti Saul ke Gilgal.
All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Adapun orang Filistin telah berkumpul untuk berperang melawan orang Israel. Dengan tiga ribu kereta, enam ribu orang pasukan berkuda dan pasukan berjalan kaki sebanyak pasir di tepi laut mereka bergerak maju dan berkemah di Mikhmas, di sebelah timur Bet-Awen.
The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
6 Ketika dilihat orang-orang Israel, bahwa mereka terjepit--sebab rakyat memang terdesak--maka larilah rakyat bersembunyi di gua, keluk batu, bukit batu, liang batu dan perigi;
When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.
7 malah ada orang Ibrani yang menyeberangi arungan sungai Yordan menuju tanah Gad dan Gilead, sedang Saul masih di Gilgal dan seluruh rakyat mengikutinya dengan gemetar.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 Ia menunggu tujuh hari lamanya sampai waktu yang ditentukan Samuel. Tetapi ketika Samuel tidak datang ke Gilgal, mulailah rakyat itu berserak-serak meninggalkan dia.
He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
9 Sebab itu Saul berkata: "Bawalah kepadaku korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan itu." Lalu ia mempersembahkan korban bakaran.
Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
10 Baru saja ia habis mempersembahkan korban bakaran, maka tampaklah Samuel datang. Saul pergi menyongsongnya untuk memberi salam kepadanya.
It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11 Tetapi kata Samuel: "Apa yang telah kauperbuat?" Jawab Saul: "Karena aku melihat rakyat itu berserak-serak meninggalkan aku dan engkau tidak datang pada waktu yang telah ditentukan, padahal orang Filistin telah berkumpul di Mikhmas,
Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
12 maka pikirku: Sebentar lagi orang Filistin akan menyerang aku di Gilgal, padahal aku belum memohonkan belas kasihan TUHAN; sebab itu aku memberanikan diri, lalu mempersembahkan korban bakaran."
therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
13 Kata Samuel kepada Saul: "Perbuatanmu itu bodoh. Engkau tidak mengikuti perintah TUHAN, Allahmu, yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadamu; sebab sedianya TUHAN mengokohkan kerajaanmu atas orang Israel untuk selama-lamanya.
Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
14 Tetapi sekarang kerajaanmu tidak akan tetap. TUHAN telah memilih seorang yang berkenan di hati-Nya dan TUHAN telah menunjuk dia menjadi raja atas umat-Nya, karena engkau tidak mengikuti apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadamu."
But now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”
15 Kemudian berangkatlah Samuel dan pergi dari Gilgal ke Gibea Benyamin. Tetapi Saul memeriksa barisan rakyat yang ada bersama-sama dengan dia itu: kira-kira enam ratus orang banyaknya.
Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, dan rakyat yang ada bersama-sama dengan mereka, tinggal di Geba-Benyamin, sedang orang Filistin berkemah di Mikhmas.
Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 Maka keluarlah orang-orang penjarah dari perkemahan orang Filistin dalam tiga gerombolan: gerombolan yang satu mengambil jalan ke Ofra, ke daerah Syual;
The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
18 gerombolan yang kedua mengambil jalan ke Bet-Horon, dan gerombolan yang satu lagi mengambil jalan ke perbatasan yang menghadap ke lembah Zeboim arah ke padang gurun.
another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 Seorang tukang besi tidak terdapat di seluruh negeri Israel, sebab orang Filistin berkata: "Jangan-jangan orang Ibrani membuat pedang atau tombak."
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;
20 Jadi semua orang Israel harus pergi kepada orang Filistin untuk mengasah mata bajaknya, beliungnya, kapaknya atau aritnya masing-masing--
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.
21 adapun bayarannya ialah dua pertiga syikal untuk mata bajak dan beliung, dan sepertiga syikal untuk mengasah kapak dan untuk memasang kusa--
The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.
22 sehingga pada hari pertempuran itu sebilah pedang atau lembingpun tidak terdapat pada seluruh rakyat yang ada bersama Saul dan Yonatan. Tetapi Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya itu, masih mempunyainya.
So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
23 Dan suatu pasukan pengawal orang Filistin telah keluar ke pelintasan gunung di Mikhmas.
The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
