1 Samuel 17
1 Orang Filistin mengumpulkan tentaranya untuk berperang; mereka berkumpul di Sokho yang di tanah Yehuda dan berkemah antara Sokho dan Azeka di Efes-Damim.
The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
2 Saul dan orang-orang Israel juga berkumpul dan berkemah di Lembah Tarbantin; mereka mengatur barisan perangnya berhadapan dengan orang Filistin.
Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
3 Orang Filistin berdiri di bukit sebelah sini dan orang Israel berdiri di bukit sebelah sana, dan lembah ada di antara mereka.
So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
4 Lalu tampillah keluar seorang pendekar dari tentara orang Filistin. Namanya Goliat, dari Gat. Tingginya enam hasta sejengkal.
Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
5 Ketopong tembaga ada di kepalanya, dan ia memakai baju zirah yang bersisik; berat baju zirah ini lima ribu syikal tembaga.
He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
6 Dia memakai penutup kaki dari tembaga, dan di bahunya ia memanggul lembing tembaga.
He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
7 Gagang tombaknya seperti pesa tukang tenun, dan mata tombaknya itu enam ratus syikal besi beratnya. Dan seorang pembawa perisai berjalan di depannya.
He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of him.
8 Ia berdiri dan berseru kepada barisan Israel, katanya kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu keluar untuk mengatur barisan perangmu? Bukankah aku seorang Filistin dan kamu adalah hamba Saul? Pilihlah bagimu seorang, dan biarlah ia turun mendapatkan daku.
Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to me!
9 Jika ia dapat berperang melawan aku dan mengalahkan aku, maka kami akan menjadi hambamu; tetapi jika aku dapat mengungguli dia dan mengalahkannya, maka kamu akan menjadi hamba kami dan takluk kepada kami."
If he fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
10 Pula kata orang Filistin itu: "Aku menantang hari ini barisan Israel; berikanlah kepadaku seorang, supaya kami berperang seorang lawan seorang."
I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
11 Ketika Saul dan segenap orang Israel mendengar perkataan orang Filistin itu, maka cemaslah hati mereka dan sangat ketakutan.
When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
12 Daud adalah anak seorang dari Efrata, dari Betlehem-Yehuda, yang bernama Isai. Isai mempunyai delapan anak laki-laki. Pada zaman Saul orang itu telah tua dan lanjut usianya.
David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
13 Ketiga anak Isai yang besar-besar telah pergi berperang mengikuti Saul; nama ketiga anaknya yang pergi berperang itu ialah Eliab, anak sulung, anak yang kedua ialah Abinadab, dan anak yang ketiga adalah Syama.
Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
14 Daudlah yang bungsu. Jadi ketiga anak yang besar-besar itu pergi mengikuti Saul.
David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
15 Tetapi Daud selalu pulang dari pada Saul untuk menggembalakan domba ayahnya di Betlehem.
David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
16 Orang Filistin itu maju mendekat pada pagi hari dan pada petang hari. Demikianlah ia tampil ke depan empat puluh hari lamanya.
For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
17 Isai berkata kepada Daud, anaknya: "Ambillah untuk kakak-kakakmu bertih gandum ini seefa dan roti yang sepuluh ini; bawalah cepat-cepat ke perkemahan, kepada kakak-kakakmu.
[One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
18 Dan baiklah sampaikan keju yang sepuluh ini kepada kepala pasukan seribu. Tengoklah apakah kakak-kakakmu selamat dan bawalah pulang suatu tanda dari mereka.
And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
19 Saul dan mereka itu dan semua orang Israel ada di Lembah Tarbantin tengah berperang melawan orang Filistin."
His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
20 Lalu Daud bangun pagi-pagi, ditinggalkannyalah kambing dombanya pada seorang penjaga, lalu mengangkat muatan dan pergi, seperti yang diperintahkan Isai kepadanya. Sampailah ia ke perkemahan, ketika tentara keluar untuk mengatur barisannya dan mengangkat sorak perang.
So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
21 Orang Israel dan orang Filistin itu mengatur barisannya, barisan berhadapan dengan barisan.
The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
22 Lalu Daud menurunkan barang-barangnya dan meninggalkannya di tangan penjaga barang-barang tentara. Berlari-larilah Daud ke tempat barisan; sesampai di sana, bertanyalah ia kepada kakak-kakaknya apakah mereka selamat.
David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
23 Sedang ia berbicara dengan mereka, tampillah maju pendekar itu. Namanya Goliat, orang Filistin dari Gat, dari barisan orang Filistin. Ia mengucapkan kata-kata yang tadi juga, dan Daud mendengarnya.
While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
24 Ketika semua orang Israel melihat orang itu, larilah mereka dari padanya dengan sangat ketakutan.
When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
25 Berkatalah orang-orang Israel itu: "Sudahkah kamu lihat orang yang maju itu? Sesungguhnya ia maju untuk mencemoohkan orang Israel! Orang yang mengalahkan dia akan dianugerahi raja kekayaan yang besar, raja akan memberikan anaknya yang perempuan kepadanya dan kaum keluarganya akan dibebaskannya dari pajak di Israel."
They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
26 Lalu berkatalah Daud kepada orang-orang yang berdiri di dekatnya: "Apakah yang akan dilakukan kepada orang yang mengalahkan orang Filistin itu dan yang menghindarkan cemooh dari Israel? Siapakah orang Filistin yang tak bersunat ini, sampai ia berani mencemoohkan barisan dari pada Allah yang hidup?"
David talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful God?”
27 Rakyat itupun menjawabnya dengan perkataan tadi: "Begitulah akan dilakukan kepada orang yang mengalahkan dia."
They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
28 Ketika Eliab, kakaknya yang tertua, mendengar perkataan Daud kepada orang-orang itu, bangkitlah amarah Eliab kepada Daud sambil berkata: "Mengapa engkau datang? Dan pada siapakah kautinggalkan kambing domba yang dua tiga ekor itu di padang gurun? Aku kenal sifat pemberanimu dan kejahatan hatimu: engkau datang ke mari dengan maksud melihat pertempuran."
But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
29 Tetapi jawab Daud: "Apa yang telah kuperbuat? Hanya bertanya saja!"
David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
30 Lalu berpalinglah ia dari padanya kepada orang lain dan menanyakan yang sama. Dan rakyat memberi jawab kepadanya seperti tadi.
Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
31 Terdengarlah kepada orang perkataan yang diucapkan oleh Daud, lalu diberitahukanlah kepada Saul. Dan Saul menyuruh memanggil dia.
Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
32 Berkatalah Daud kepada Saul: "Janganlah seseorang menjadi tawar hati karena dia; hambamu ini akan pergi melawan orang Filistin itu."
David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
33 Tetapi Saul berkata kepada Daud: "Tidak mungkin engkau dapat menghadapi orang Filistin itu untuk melawan dia, sebab engkau masih muda, sedang dia sejak dari masa mudanya telah menjadi prajurit."
Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
34 Tetapi Daud berkata kepada Saul: "Hambamu ini biasa menggembalakan kambing domba ayahnya. Apabila datang singa atau beruang, yang menerkam seekor domba dari kawanannya,
David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
35 maka aku mengejarnya, menghajarnya dan melepaskan domba itu dari mulutnya. Kemudian apabila ia berdiri menyerang aku, maka aku menangkap janggutnya lalu menghajarnya dan membunuhnya.
I went after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
36 Baik singa maupun beruang telah dihajar oleh hambamu ini. Dan orang Filistin yang tidak bersunat itu, ia akan sama seperti salah satu dari pada binatang itu, karena ia telah mencemooh barisan dari pada Allah yang hidup."
I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!
37 Pula kata Daud: "TUHAN yang telah melepaskan aku dari cakar singa dan dari cakar beruang, Dia juga akan melepaskan aku dari tangan orang Filistin itu." Kata Saul kepada Daud: "Pergilah! TUHAN menyertai engkau."
Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help you!”
38 Lalu Saul mengenakan baju perangnya kepada Daud, ditaruhnya ketopong tembaga di kepalanya dan dikenakannya baju zirah kepadanya.
Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
39 Lalu Daud mengikatkan pedangnya di luar baju perangnya, kemudian ia berikhtiar berjalan, sebab belum pernah dicobanya. Maka berkatalah Daud kepada Saul: "Aku tidak dapat berjalan dengan memakai ini, sebab belum pernah aku mencobanya." Kemudian ia menanggalkannya.
David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
40 Lalu Daud mengambil tongkatnya di tangannya, dipilihnya dari dasar sungai lima batu yang licin dan ditaruhnya dalam kantung gembala yang dibawanya, yakni tempat batu-batu, sedang umbannya dipegangnya di tangannya. Demikianlah ia mendekati orang Filistin itu.
Then he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
41 Orang Filistin itu kian dekat menghampiri Daud dan di depannya orang yang membawa perisainya.
Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
42 Ketika orang Filistin itu menujukan pandangnya ke arah Daud serta melihat dia, dihinanya Daud itu karena ia masih muda, kemerah-merahan dan elok parasnya.
he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
43 Orang Filistin itu berkata kepada Daud: "Anjingkah aku, maka engkau mendatangi aku dengan tongkat?" Lalu demi para allahnya orang Filistin itu mengutuki Daud.
He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
44 Pula orang Filistin itu berkata kepada Daud: "Hadapilah aku, maka aku akan memberikan dagingmu kepada burung-burung di udara dan kepada binatang-binatang di padang."
He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
45 Tetapi Daud berkata kepada orang Filistin itu: "Engkau mendatangi aku dengan pedang dan tombak dan lembing, tetapi aku mendatangi engkau dengan nama TUHAN semesta alam, Allah segala barisan Israel yang kautantang itu.
David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
46 Hari ini juga TUHAN akan menyerahkan engkau ke dalam tanganku dan aku akan mengalahkan engkau dan memenggal kepalamu dari tubuhmu; hari ini juga aku akan memberikan mayatmu dan mayat tentara orang Filistin kepada burung-burung di udara dan kepada binatang-binatang liar, supaya seluruh bumi tahu, bahwa Israel mempunyai Allah,
Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
47 dan supaya segenap jemaah ini tahu, bahwa TUHAN menyelamatkan bukan dengan pedang dan bukan dengan lembing. Sebab di tangan Tuhanlah pertempuran dan Iapun menyerahkan kamu ke dalam tangan kami."
And everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
48 Ketika orang Filistin itu bergerak maju untuk menemui Daud, maka segeralah Daud berlari ke barisan musuh untuk menemui orang Filistin itu;
As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
49 lalu Daud memasukkan tangannya dalam kantungnya, diambilnyalah sebuah batu dari dalamnya, diumbannya, maka kenalah dahi orang Filistin itu, sehingga batu itu terbenam ke dalam dahinya, dan terjerumuslah ia dengan mukanya ke tanah.
He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto the ground.
50 Demikianlah Daud mengalahkan orang Filistin itu dengan umban dan batu; ia mengalahkan orang Filistin itu dan membunuhnya, tanpa pedang di tangan.
Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
51 Daud berlari mendapatkan orang Filistin itu, lalu berdiri di sebelahnya; diambilnyalah pedangnya, dihunusnya dari sarungnya, lalu menghabisi dia. Dipancungnyalah kepalanya dengan pedang itu. Ketika orang-orang Filistin melihat, bahwa pahlawan mereka telah mati, maka larilah mereka.
52 Maka bangkitlah orang-orang Israel dan Yehuda, mereka bersorak-sorak lalu mengejar orang-orang Filistin sampai dekat Gat dan sampai pintu gerbang Ekron. Dan orang-orang yang terbunuh dari orang Filistin bergelimpangan di jalan ke Saaraim, sampai Gat dan sampai Ekron.
The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
53 Kemudian pulanglah orang Israel dari pemburuan hebat atas orang Filistin, lalu menjarah perkemahan mereka.
When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
54 Dan Daud mengambil kepala orang Filistin yang dipancungnya itu dan membawanya ke Yerusalem, tetapi senjata-senjata orang itu ditaruhnya dalam kemahnya.
David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
55 Ketika Saul melihat Daud pergi menemui orang Filistin itu, berkatalah ia kepada Abner, panglima tentaranya: "Anak siapakah orang muda itu, Abner?" Jawab Abner: "Demi tuanku hidup, ya raja, sesungguhnya aku tidak tahu."
As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
56 Kemudian raja berkata: "Tanyakanlah, anak siapakah orang muda itu."
Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
57 Ketika Daud kembali sesudah mengalahkan orang Filistin itu, maka Abner memanggilnya dan membawanya menghadap Saul, sedang kepala orang Filistin itu masih ada di tangannya.
[Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
58 Kata Saul kepadanya: "Anak siapakah engkau, ya orang muda?" Jawab Daud: "Anak hamba tuanku, Isai, orang Betlehem itu."
Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
