1 Samuel 18
1 Ketika Daud habis berbicara dengan Saul, berpadulah jiwa Yonatan dengan jiwa Daud; dan Yonatan mengasihi dia seperti jiwanya sendiri.
After David finished talking with Saul, [he met Saul’s son, Jonathan.] Jonathan [immediately] liked David; in fact, he began to love/like him as much as he loved/liked himself.
2 Pada hari itu Saul membawa dia dan tidak membiarkannya pulang ke rumah ayahnya.
From that day, Saul kept David with him, and did not let him return home.
3 Yonatan mengikat perjanjian dengan Daud, karena ia mengasihi dia seperti dirinya sendiri.
Because Jonathan loved David so much, he made a solemn agreement with David. [They promised each other that they would always be loyal friends].
4 Yonatan menanggalkan jubah yang dipakainya, dan memberikannya kepada Daud, juga baju perangnya, sampai pedangnya, panahnya dan ikat pinggangnya.
Jonathan took off his own outer robe and gave it to David. He also gave David his soldier’s tunic, his sword, his bow [and arrows], and his belt.
5 Daud maju berperang dan selalu berhasil ke mana juga Saul menyuruhnya, sehingga Saul mengangkat dia mengepalai para prajurit. Hal ini dipandang baik oleh seluruh rakyat dan juga oleh pegawai-pegawai Saul.
[David went wherever Saul sent him. And] whatever Saul told him to do, David did it very successfully. As a result, Saul appointed David to be a commander in the army. All the officers and other men in the army (approved of/were very pleased with) that.
6 Tetapi pada waktu mereka pulang, ketika Daud kembali sesudah mengalahkan orang Filistin itu, keluarlah orang-orang perempuan dari segala kota Israel menyongsong raja Saul sambil menyanyi dan menari-nari dengan memukul rebana, dengan bersukaria dan dengan membunyikan gerincing;
But, when the men in the army were returning home after David had killed Goliath, the women came out from many [HYP] towns in Israel to meet/greet King Saul. They were singing and dancing very joyfully, playing tambourines and lyres.
7 dan perempuan yang menari-nari itu menyanyi berbalas-balasan, katanya: "Saul mengalahkan beribu-ribu musuh, tetapi Daud berlaksa-laksa."
As they danced, they sang this song to each other: “Saul has killed 1,000 [enemy soldiers], But David has killed 10,000 [of them].”
8 Lalu bangkitlah amarah Saul dengan sangat; dan perkataan itu menyebalkan hatinya, sebab pikirnya: "Kepada Daud diperhitungkan mereka berlaksa-laksa, tetapi kepadaku diperhitungkannya beribu-ribu; akhir-akhirnya jabatan raja itupun jatuh kepadanya."
[When] Saul [heard them singing that, he] did not like it. He became very angry. He said [to himself], “They are saying that David [killed] 10,000 men, but that I [have killed] only 1,000. Soon they will want to make him their king!” [RHQ]
9 Sejak hari itu maka Saul selalu mendengki Daud.
From that time, Saul watched David very closely because he was suspicious [that David would try to become king].
10 Keesokan harinya roh jahat yang dari pada Allah itu berkuasa atas Saul, sehingga ia kerasukan di tengah-tengah rumah, sedang Daud main kecapi seperti sehari-hari. Adapun Saul ada tombak di tangannya.
The next day, an evil spirit sent by God suddenly took control of Saul. He began to act like a madman, inside his house. David was playing the lyre for him, as he did every day. Saul was holding a spear in his hand,
11 Saul melemparkan tombak itu, karena pikirnya: "Baiklah aku menancapkan Daud ke dinding." Tetapi Daud mengelakkannya sampai dua kali.
and he hurled it [at David], saying to himself, “I will fasten David to the wall with the spear!” He did that two times, but David jumped aside [both times].
12 Saul menjadi takut kepada Daud, karena TUHAN menyertai Daud, sedang dari pada Saul Ia telah undur.
Because [it became evident that] Yahweh had abandoned Saul but [that] he was helping David, Saul was afraid of David.
13 Sebab itu Saul menjauhkan Daud dari dekatnya dan mengangkat dia menjadi kepala pasukan seribu, sehingga ia berada di depan dalam segala gerakan tentara.
So he appointed David as a commander of 1,000 soldiers and sent David away from him, [hoping that David would be killed in a battle]. But when David led his soldiers [in their battles],
14 Daud berhasil di segala perjalanannya, sebab TUHAN menyertai dia.
he always had great success, because Yahweh was helping him.
15 Ketika dilihat Saul, bahwa Daud sangat berhasil, makin takutlah ia kepadanya;
When Saul heard that David [and his soldiers were] very successful, he became more afraid of David.
16 tetapi seluruh orang Israel dan orang Yehuda mengasihi Daud, karena ia memimpin segala gerakan mereka.
But all the people of Israel and of Judah loved David, because he led the soldiers very successfully [in the battles].
17 Berkatalah Saul kepada Daud: "Ini dia anakku perempuan yang tertua, Merab; dia akan kuberikan kepadamu menjadi isterimu, hanya jadilah bagiku seorang yang gagah perkasa dan lakukanlah perang TUHAN." Sebab pikir Saul: "Janganlah tanganku memukul dia, tetapi biarlah ia dipukul oleh tangan orang Filistin."
One day Saul said to David, “I am ready to give you my oldest daughter, Merab, to be your wife. I will do that if you serve me bravely by fighting battles for Yahweh [against the Philistines]”. He said that because he thought, “I will not try to get rid of David by myself. I will allow the Philistines to do that.”
18 Tetapi Daud berkata kepada Saul: "Siapakah aku dan siapakah sanak saudaraku, kaum ayahku, di antara orang Israel, sehingga aku menjadi menantu raja?"
But David said to Saul, “I am not [RHQ] a very important person, and my family is not very important, and my clan is not a very important Israeli clan. So I do not deserve to become your son-in-law.” [RHQ]
19 Tetapi ketika tiba waktunya untuk memberikan Merab, anak Saul itu, kepada Daud, maka anak perempuan itu diberikan kepada Adriel, orang Mehola, menjadi isterinya.
So, when it was time for Merab to be given to David to become his wife, instead, Saul gave her to a man named Adriel, from Meholah [town].
20 Tetapi Mikhal, anak perempuan Saul, jatuh cinta kepada Daud; ketika hal itu diberitahukan kepada Saul, maka iapun menyetujuinya;
But Saul’s other daughter, Michal, fell in love with David. When they told Saul about that, he was pleased.
21 sebab pikir Saul: "Baiklah Mikhal kuberikan kepadanya; biarlah ia menjadi jerat bagi Daud, dan biarlah tangan orang Filistin memukul dia!" Lalu berkatalah Saul kepada Daud untuk kedua kalinya: "Pada hari ini engkau boleh menjadi menantuku."
He thought, “I will let Michal marry him, in order that she may trap him, and the Philistines will be able to kill him.” So he said to David, [“You can marry Michal],” and by saying that, he indicated for the second time that David would become his son-in-law.
22 Lagi Saul memerintahkan kepada para pegawainya: "Katakanlah kepada Daud dengan diam-diam, demikian: Sesungguhnya, raja suka kepadamu dan para pegawainya mengasihi engkau; maka sebab itu, jadilah engkau menantu raja."
Saul told his servants, “Talk to David privately, and say to him, ‘Listen, the king is pleased with you, and all of us his servants love you. So now [we think that] you should [marry Michal and] become the king’s son-in-law.’”
23 Lalu para pegawai Saul menyampaikan perkataan itu kepada Daud, tetapi Daud menjawab: "Perkara ringankah pada pemandanganmu menjadi menantu raja? Bukankah aku seorang yang miskin dan rendah?"
So they told that to David. But David said, “It would be a great honor [RHQ] to become the king’s son-in-law. But [I do not think that I should do that, because] I am only a poor and insignificant man.”
24 Para pegawai Saul memberitahukan kepada raja, katanya: "Demikianlah jawab yang diberi Daud."
When the servants told Saul what David had said,
25 Kemudian berkatalah Saul: "Beginilah kamu katakan kepada Daud: Raja tidak menghendaki mas kawin selain dari seratus kulit khatan orang Filistin sebagai pembalasan kepada musuh raja." Saul bermaksud untuk menjatuhkan Daud dengan perantaraan orang Filistin.
Saul replied, “Go and say to David, ‘[In order for] the king [to allow you to marry Michal, he] wants [you to kill] 100 Philistines [and cut off] their foreskins [and bring the foreskins to him to prove that you have killed them]. In that way he will get revenge on his enemies.’” But what Saul wanted was that the Philistines would kill David [while David was trying to kill them].
26 Ketika para pegawainya memberitahukan perkataan itu kepada Daud, maka setujulah Daud menjadi menantu raja. Waktunya belum genap,
When the servants told that to David, he was very pleased that he could become the king’s son-in-law [by doing that. The king had said how many days he would allow for David to do that]. But before that time ended,
27 tetapi Daud sudah bersiap, ia pergi dengan orang-orangnya dan menewaskan dari orang Filistin itu dua ratus orang serta membawa kulit khatan mereka; dan dalam jumlah yang genap diberikan merekalah semuanya itu kepada raja, supaya Daud menjadi menantu raja. Kemudian Saul memberikan Mikhal, anaknya, kepadanya menjadi isterinya.
David and his men went and killed, [not 100, but] 200 Philistines! He brought their foreskins to Saul, and counted them [while Saul was watching], in order to prove that he had [done what the king required so that he could become Saul’s son-in-law. So then Saul was obligated] to allow David to marry his daughter Michal.
28 Lalu mengertilah Saul dan tahulah ia, bahwa TUHAN menyertai Daud, dan bahwa seluruh orang Israel mengasihi Daud.
But when Saul realized that Yahweh was helping David, and that his daughter loved David,
29 Maka makin takutlah Saul kepada Daud. Saul tetap menjadi musuh Daud seumur hidupnya.
he became more afraid of David. So, as long as Saul lived, he was David’s enemy.
30 Apabila raja-raja orang Filistin maju berperang, setiap kali mereka maju berperang, maka Daud lebih berhasil dari semua pegawai Saul, sehingga namanya sangat masyhur.
The Philistine armies repeatedly came to fight the Israelis, but every time they fought, David and his soldiers were more successful than any of Saul’s other army commanders. As a result, David became very famous.
