1 Samuel 30
1 Ketika Daud serta orang-orangnya sampai ke Ziklag pada hari yang ketiga, orang Amalek telah menyerbu Tanah Negeb dan Ziklag; Ziklag telah dikalahkan oleh mereka dan dibakar habis.
It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
2 Perempuan-perempuan dan semua orang yang ada di sana, tua dan muda, telah ditawan mereka, dengan tidak membunuh seorangpun; mereka menggiring sekaliannya, kemudian meneruskan perjalanannya.
and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3 Ketika Daud dan orang-orangnya sampai ke kota itu, tampaklah kota itu terbakar habis, dan isteri mereka serta anak mereka yang laki-laki dan perempuan telah ditawan.
When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4 Lalu menangislah Daud dan rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia itu dengan nyaring, sampai mereka tidak kuat lagi menangis.
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Juga kedua isteri Daud ditawan, yakni Ahinoam, perempuan Yizreel, dan Abigail, bekas isteri Nabal, orang Karmel itu.
David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Dan Daud sangat terjepit, karena rakyat mengatakan hendak melempari dia dengan batu. Seluruh rakyat itu telah pedih hati, masing-masing karena anaknya laki-laki dan perempuan. Tetapi Daud menguatkan kepercayaannya kepada TUHAN, Allahnya.
David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
7 Lalu Daud memberi perintah kepada imam Abyatar bin Ahimelekh: "Bawalah efod itu kepadaku." Maka Abyatar membawa efod itu kepada Daud.
David said to Abiathar the cohen, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN, katanya: "Haruskah aku mengejar gerombolan itu? Akan dapatkah mereka kususul?" Dan Ia berfirman kepadanya: "Kejarlah, sebab sesungguhnya, engkau akan dapat menyusul mereka dan melepaskan para tawanan."
David inquired of the LORD, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all."
9 Lalu pergilah Daud beserta keenam ratus orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dan sampailah mereka ke sungai Besor. Sementara orang-orang yang mau tinggal di belakang berhenti di sana,
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 maka Daud melanjutkan pengejaran itu beserta empat ratus orang. Dua ratus orang yang terlalu lelah untuk menyeberangi sungai Besor itu, berhenti di sana.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
11 Kemudian mereka menemui seorang Mesir di padang lalu membawanya kepada Daud. Mereka memberi dia roti, lalu makanlah ia, kemudian mereka memberi dia minum air,
They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
12 dan memberikan kepadanya sepotong kue ara dan dua buah kue kismis, dan setelah dimakannya, ia segar kembali, sebab ia tidak makan dan minum selama tiga hari tiga malam.
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepadanya: "Budak siapakah engkau dan dari manakah engkau?" Jawabnya: "Aku ini seorang pemuda Mesir, budak kepunyaan seorang Amalek. Tuanku meninggalkan aku, karena tiga hari yang lalu aku jatuh sakit.
David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Kami telah menyerbu Tanah Negeb orang Kreti dan daerah Yehuda dan Tanah Negeb Kaleb, dan Ziklag telah kami bakar habis."
We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
15 Daud bertanya kepadanya: "Dapatkah engkau menunjuk jalan kepadaku ke gerombolan itu?" Katanya: "Bersumpahlah kepadaku demi Allah, bahwa engkau tidak akan membunuh aku, dan tidak akan menyerahkan aku ke dalam tangan tuanku itu, maka aku akan menunjuk jalan kepadamu ke gerombolan itu."
David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
16 Ia menunjuk jalan kepada Daud ke sana, dan tampaklah orang-orang itu berpencar-pencar di atas seluruh daerah itu, sambil makan, minum dan mengadakan perayaan karena jarahan yang besar, yang telah dirampas mereka dari tanah orang Filistin dan dari tanah Yehuda.
When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 Dan pada keesokan harinya Daud menghancurkan mereka dari pagi-pagi buta sampai matahari terbenam; tidak ada seorangpun dari mereka yang lolos, kecuali empat ratus orang muda yang melarikan diri dengan menunggang unta.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
18 Daud melepaskan semua apa yang dirampas oleh orang Amalek itu; juga kedua isterinya dapat dilepaskan Daud.
He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
19 Tidak ada yang hilang pada mereka, dari hal yang kecil sampai hal yang besar, sampai anak laki-laki dan anak perempuan, dan dari jarahan sampai segala sesuatu yang telah dirampas mereka; semuanya itu dibawa Daud kembali.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.
20 Daud mengambil segala kambing domba dan lembu; semuanya itu digiring mereka di hadapannya, serta berkata: "Inilah jarahan Daud."
He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."
21 Ketika Daud sampai kepada kedua ratus orang yang telah terlalu lelah untuk mengikuti Daud, yang telah dibiarkannya tinggal di dekat sungai Besor, maka keluarlah orang-orang ini menyongsong Daud dan menyongsong rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia. Daud mendekati orang-orang itu dan memberi salam kepada mereka.
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted them.
22 Kemudian mulailah berbicara semua orang jahat dan orang dursila di antara orang-orang, yang ikut pergi bersama-sama dengan Daud itu, katanya: "Karena mereka tidak ikut pergi bersama-sama dengan kita, janganlah kita berikan kepada mereka apa-apa dari jarahan yang kita selamatkan itu, kecuali kepada masing-masing mereka isterinya dan anak-anaknya. Itu boleh mereka bawa, dan biarlah mereka pergi!"
Then every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, and depart."
23 Tetapi Daud berkata: "Janganlah kamu, saudara-saudaraku, berbuat demikian, dengan apa yang diberikan TUHAN kepada kita; sebab Ia telah melindungi kita, dan menyerahkan ke dalam tangan kita gerombolan yang menyerang kita.
Then David said, "You shall not do so after what the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
24 Siapa yang mau mendengarkan kamu dalam perkara ini? Sebab, bagian orang yang tinggal di dekat barang-barang adalah sama seperti bagian orang yang pergi berperang; itu akan dibagi sama-sama."
So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
25 Dan demikianlah halnya sejak hari itu dan seterusnya; hal itu ditentukannya menjadi ketetapan dan peraturan bagi orang Israel sampai sekarang.
It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 Ketika Daud sampai ke Ziklag, dikirimnyalah sebagian dari jarahan itu kepada para tua-tua di Yehuda, kepada teman-temannya, dengan pesan: "Inilah pemberian kepadamu dari jarahan yang dirampas dari musuh TUHAN,"
When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD."
27 yakni kepada yang di Betel, kepada yang di Ramot di Tanah Selatan, kepada yang di Yatir,
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 kepada yang di Aroer, kepada yang di Sifmot, kepada yang di Estemoa,
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 kepada yang di Rakhal, kepada yang di kota-kota orang Yerahmeel, kepada yang di kota-kota orang Keni,
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
30 kepada yang di Horma, kepada yang di Bor-Asan, kepada yang di Atakh,
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31 kepada yang di Hebron dan kepada segala tempat di mana Daud dengan orang-orangnya mengembara.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
