1 Samuel 19
1 Saul mengatakan kepada Yonatan, anaknya, dan kepada semua pegawainya, bahwa Daud harus dibunuh. Tetapi Yonatan, anak Saul, sangat suka kepada Daud,
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul loved David exceedingly.
2 sehingga Yonatan memberitahukan kepada Daud: "Ayahku Saul berikhtiar untuk membunuh engkau; oleh sebab itu, hati-hatilah besok pagi, duduklah di suatu tempat perlindungan dan bersembunyilah di sana.
And Jonathan told David, saying: Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning, and thou shalt abide in a secret place and shalt be hid.
3 Aku akan keluar dan berdiri di sisi ayahku di padang tempatmu itu. Maka aku akan berbicara dengan ayahku perihalmu; aku akan melihat bagaimana keadaannya, lalu memberitahukannya kepadamu."
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art: and I will speak of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, I will tell thee.
4 Lalu Yonatan mengatakan yang baik tentang Daud kepada Saul, ayahnya, katanya: "Janganlah raja berbuat dosa terhadap Daud, hambanya, sebab ia tidak berbuat dosa terhadapmu; bukankah apa yang diperbuatnya sangat baik bagimu!
And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee.
5 Ia telah mempertaruhkan nyawanya dan telah mengalahkan orang Filistin itu, dan TUHAN telah memberikan kemenangan yang besar kepada seluruh Israel. Engkau sudah melihatnya dan bersukacita karenanya. Mengapa engkau hendak berbuat dosa terhadap darah orang yang tidak bersalah dengan membunuh Daud tanpa alasan?"
And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without fault?
6 Saul mendengarkan perkataan Yonatan dan Saul bersumpah: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, ia tidak akan dibunuh."
And when Saul heard this he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth he shall not be slain.
7 Lalu Yonatan memanggil Daud dan Yonatan memberitahukan kepadanya segala perkataan itu. Yonatan membawa Daud kepada Saul dan ia bekerja padanya seperti dahulu.
Then Jonathan called David and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before.
8 Ketika perang pecah pula, maka majulah Daud dan berperang melawan orang Filistin; ia menimbulkan kekalahan besar di antara mereka, sehingga mereka melarikan diri dari depannya.
And the war began again, and David went out and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face.
9 Tetapi roh jahat yang dari pada TUHAN hinggap pada Saul, ketika ia duduk di rumahnya, dengan tombaknya di tangannya; dan Daud sedang main kecapi.
And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand.
10 Lalu Saul berikhtiar menancapkan Daud ke dinding dengan tombaknya, tetapi Daud mengelakkan tikaman Saul, sehingga Saul mengenai dinding dengan tombak itu. Sesudah itu Daud melarikan diri dan luputlah ia pada malam itu.
And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled and escaped that night.
11 Kemudian Saul mengirim orang-orang suruhan ke rumah Daud untuk mengamat-amatinya dan untuk membunuh dia pada waktu pagi. Tetapi Mikhal, isteri Daud, memberitahukan kepadanya, demikian: "Jika engkau tidak dapat meluputkan dirimu malam ini, maka besok engkau akan dibunuh."
Saul therefore sent his guards to David’s house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol David’s wife had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, tomorrow thou wilt die,
12 Lalu Mikhal menurunkan Daud dari jendela, ia pergi melarikan diri dan luputlah ia.
She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away and escaped.
13 Sesudah itu Mikhal mengambil terafim dan menaruhnya di tempat tidur; ditaruhnya sehelai tenunan bulu kambing di bagian kepala dan ditutupinya dengan selimut.
And Michol took an image and laid it on the bed, and put a goat’s skin with the hair at the head of it, and covered it with clothes.
14 Lalu Saul mengirim orang-orang suruhan untuk mengambil Daud, tetapi perempuan itu berkata: "Ia sakit."
And Saul sent officers to seize David: and it was answered that he was sick.
15 Sesudah itu Saul mengirim orang-orang suruhan itu untuk melihat Daud, katanya: "Bawalah dia di atas tempat tidur itu ke mari, supaya ia dibunuh."
And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain.
16 Lalu masuklah para suruhan itu ke dalam, dan tampaklah ada terafim di tempat tidur dengan sehelai tenunan bulu kambing di bagian kepala.
And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat’s skin at its head.
17 Berkatalah Saul kepada Mikhal: "Mengapa engkau menipu aku demikian itu dan melepas musuhku pergi, sehingga ia luput?" Tetapi jawab Mikhal kepada Saul: "Ia berkata kepadaku: Biarkanlah aku pergi, apa perlunya aku membunuh engkau?"
And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee.
18 Setelah Daud melarikan diri dan luput, sampailah ia kepada Samuel di Rama dan memberitahukan kepadanya segala yang dilakukan Saul kepadanya. Kemudian pergilah ia bersama-sama dengan Samuel dan tinggallah mereka di Nayot.
But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth.
19 Ketika diberitahukan kepada Saul, demikian: "Ketahuilah, Daud ada di Nayot, dekat Rama,"
And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth in Ramatha.
20 maka Saul mengirim orang-orang suruhan untuk mengambil Daud. Tetapi orang-orang ini melihat sekumpulan nabi kepenuhan, dengan dikepalai oleh Samuel. Dan Roh Allah hinggap pada orang-orang suruhan Saul, sehingga merekapun kepenuhan seperti nabi.
So Saul sent officers to take David: and when they saw a company of prophets prophesying, and Samuel presiding over them, the spirit of the Lord came also upon them, and they likewise began to prophesy.
21 Lalu hal itu diberitahukan kepada Saul; ia mengirim orang-orang suruhan yang lain, tetapi orang-orang itupun juga kepenuhan seperti nabi. Saul mengirim sekali lagi orang-orang suruhan, rombongan yang ketiga, dan orang-orang inipun juga kepenuhan.
And when this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceedingly angry,
22 Lalu ia sendiri pergi ke Rama. Sesampainya ke dekat perigi besar yang di Sekhu, bertanyalah ia, katanya: "Di mana Samuel dan Daud?" Jawab orang: "Ada di Nayot, dekat Rama."
Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they axe in Najoth in Ramatha.
23 Lalu pergilah ia ke sana, ke Nayot, dekat Rama dan pada diapun hinggaplah Roh Allah, dan selama ia melanjutkan perjalanannya ia kepenuhan seperti nabi, hingga ia sampai ke Nayot dekat Rama.
And he went to Najoth in Ramatha, and the spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth in Ramatha.
24 Iapun menanggalkan pakaiannya, dan iapun juga kepenuhan di depan Samuel. Ia rebah terhantar dengan telanjang sehari-harian dan semalam-malaman itu. Itulah sebabnya orang berkata: "Apakah juga Saul termasuk golongan nabi?"
And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets?
