2 Samuel 5
1 Lalu datanglah segala suku Israel kepada Daud di Hebron dan berkata: "Ketahuilah, kami ini darah dagingmu.
Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
2 Telah lama, ketika Saul memerintah atas kami, engkaulah yang memimpin segala gerakan orang Israel. Dan TUHAN telah berfirman kepadamu: Engkaulah yang harus menggembalakan umat-Ku Israel, dan engkaulah yang menjadi raja atas Israel."
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Maka datanglah semua tua-tua Israel menghadap raja di Hebron, lalu raja Daud mengadakan perjanjian dengan mereka di Hebron di hadapan TUHAN; kemudian mereka mengurapi Daud menjadi raja atas Israel.
So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
4 Daud berumur tiga puluh tahun, pada waktu ia menjadi raja; empat puluh tahun lamanya ia memerintah.
David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
5 Di Hebron ia memerintah atas Yehuda tujuh tahun enam bulan, dan di Yerusalem ia memerintah tiga puluh tiga tahun atas seluruh Israel dan Yehuda.
In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
6 Lalu raja dengan orang-orangnya pergi ke Yerusalem, menyerang orang Yebus, penduduk negeri itu. Mereka itu berkata kepada Daud: "Engkau tidak sanggup masuk ke mari; orang-orang buta dan orang-orang timpang akan mengenyahkan engkau!" Maksud mereka: Daud tidak sanggup masuk ke mari.
[One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
7 Tetapi Daud merebut kubu pertahanan Sion, yaitu kota Daud.
But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
8 Daud telah berkata pada waktu itu: "Siapa yang hendak memukul kalah orang Yebus, haruslah ia masuk melalui saluran air itu; hati Daud benci kepada orang-orang timpang dan orang-orang buta." Sebab itu orang berkata: "Orang-orang buta dan orang-orang timpang tidak boleh masuk bait."
On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
9 Dan Daud menetap di kubu pertahanan itu dan menamainya: Kota Daud. Ia memperkuatnya sekelilingnya, mulai dari Milo ke bagian dalam.
[After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
10 Lalu makin lama makin besarlah kuasa Daud, sebab TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, menyertainya.
David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
11 Hiram, raja negeri Tirus, mengirim utusan kepada Daud dan kayu alas, tukang-tukang kayu dan tukang-tukang batu; mereka mendirikan istana bagi Daud.
[One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
12 Lalu tahulah Daud, bahwa TUHAN telah menegakkan dia sebagai raja atas Israel dan telah mengangkat martabat pemerintahannya oleh karena Israel, umat-Nya.
His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
13 Daud mengambil lagi beberapa gundik dan isteri dari Yerusalem, setelah ia datang dari Hebron dan bagi Daud masih lahir lagi anak-anak lelaki dan perempuan.
After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
14 Inilah nama anak-anak yang lahir bagi dia di Yerusalem: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 Elisama, Elyada dan Elifelet.
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Ketika didengar orang Filistin, bahwa Daud telah diurapi menjadi raja atas Israel, maka majulah semua orang Filistin untuk menangkap Daud. Tetapi Daud mendengar hal itu, lalu ia pergi ke kubu pertahanan.
When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
18 Ketika orang Filistin itu datang dan memencar di lembah Refaim,
The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
19 bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN: "Apakah aku harus maju melawan orang Filistin itu? Akan Kauserahkankah mereka ke dalam tanganku?" TUHAN menjawab Daud: "Majulah, sebab Aku pasti akan menyerahkan orang Filistin itu ke dalam tanganmu."
David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
20 Lalu datanglah Daud di Baal-Perasim dan memukul mereka kalah di sana. Berkatalah ia: "TUHAN telah menerobos musuhku di depanku seperti air menerobos." Sebab itu orang menamakan tempat itu Baal-Perasim.
So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
21 Orang Filistin itu meninggalkan berhalanya di sana, lalu Daud dan orang-orangnya mengangkatnya.
The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
22 Ketika orang Filistin maju sekali lagi dan memencar di lembah Refaim,
Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
23 maka bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN, dan Ia menjawab: "Janganlah maju, tetapi buatlah gerakan lingkaran sampai ke belakang mereka, sehingga engkau dapat menyerang mereka dari jurusan pohon-pohon kertau.
So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
24 Dan bila engkau mendengar bunyi derap langkah di puncak pohon-pohon kertau itu, maka haruslah engkau bertindak cepat, sebab pada waktu itu TUHAN telah keluar berperang di depanmu untuk memukul kalah tentara orang Filistin."
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
25 Dan Daud berbuat demikian, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya, maka ia memukul kalah orang Filistin, mulai dari Geba sampai dekat Gezer.
So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
