2 Samuel 1

1 Setelah Saul mati, dan ketika Daud kembali sesudah memukul kalah orang Amalek dan tinggal dua hari di Ziklag,

After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,

2 maka datanglah pada hari ketiga seorang dari tentara, dari pihak Saul, dengan pakaian terkoyak-koyak dan tanah di atas kepala. Ketika ia sampai kepada Daud, sujudlah ia ke tanah dan menyembah.

on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.

3 Bertanyalah Daud kepadanya: "Dari manakah engkau?" Jawabnya kepadanya: "Aku lolos dari tentara Israel."

David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”

4 Bertanyalah pula Daud kepadanya: "Apakah yang terjadi? Coba ceriterakan kepadaku." Jawabnya: "Rakyat telah melarikan diri dari pertempuran; bukan saja banyak dari rakyat yang gugur dan mati, tetapi Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, juga sudah mati."

David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”

5 Lalu Daud berkata kepada orang muda yang membawa kabar kepadanya itu: "Bagaimana kauketahui, bahwa Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, sudah mati?"

David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”

6 Orang muda yang membawa kabar kepadanya itu berkata: "Kebetulan aku ada di pegunungan Gilboa; maka tampaklah Saul bertelekan pada tombaknya, sedang kereta-kereta dan orang-orang berkuda mengejarnya.

The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.

7 Ketika menoleh ke belakang, ia melihat aku, lalu memanggil aku; dan aku berkata: Ya tuanku.

When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’

8 Ia bertanya kepadaku: Siapakah engkau? Jawabku kepadanya: Aku seorang Amalek.

He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’

9 Lalu katanya kepadaku: Datanglah ke mari dan bunuhlah aku, sebab kekejangan telah menyerang aku, tetapi aku masih bernyawa.

He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’

10 Aku datang ke dekatnya dan membunuh dia, sebab aku tahu, ia tidak dapat hidup terus setelah jatuh. Aku mengambil jejamang yang ada di kepalanya, dan gelang yang ada pada lengannya, dan inilah dia kubawa kepada tuanku."

So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”

11 Lalu Daud memegang pakaiannya dan mengoyakkannya; dan semua orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia berbuat demikian juga.

Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.

12 Dan mereka meratap, menangis dan berpuasa sampai matahari terbenam karena Saul, karena Yonatan, anaknya, karena umat TUHAN dan karena kaum Israel, sebab mereka telah gugur oleh pedang.

They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

13 Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepada orang muda yang membawa kabar itu kepadanya: "Asalmu dari mana?" Jawabnya: "Aku ini anak perantau, orang Amalek."

David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”

14 Kemudian berkatalah Daud kepadanya: "Bagaimana? Tidakkah engkau segan mengangkat tanganmu memusnahkan orang yang diurapi TUHAN?"

David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”

15 Lalu Daud memanggil salah seorang dari anak buahnya dan berkata: "Ke mari, paranglah dia." Orang itu memarangnya, sehingga mati.

David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.

16 Dan Daud berkata kepadanya: "Kautanggung sendiri darahmu, sebab mulutmulah yang menjadi saksi menentang engkau, karena berkata: Aku telah membunuh orang yang diurapi TUHAN."

David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”

17 Daud menyanyikan nyanyian ratapan ini karena Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya,

David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son

18 dan ia memberi perintah untuk mengajarkan nyanyian ini kepada bani Yehuda; itu ada tertulis dalam Kitab Orang Jujur.

(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):

19 Kepermaianmu, hai Israel, mati terbunuh di bukit-bukitmu! Betapa gugur para pahlawan!

“Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

20 Janganlah kabarkan itu di Gat, janganlah beritakan itu di lorong-lorong Askelon, supaya jangan bersukacita anak-anak perempuan orang Filistin, supaya jangan beria-ria anak-anak perempuan orang-orang yang tidak bersunat!

Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

21 Hai gunung-gunung di Gilboa! jangan ada embun, jangan ada hujan di atas kamu, hai padang-padang pembawa kematian! Sebab di sanalah perisai para pahlawan dilumuri, perisai Saul yang tidak diurapi dengan minyak.

You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

22 Tanpa darah orang-orang yang mati terbunuh dan tanpa lemak para pahlawan panah Yonatan tidak pernah berpaling pulang, dan pedang Saul tidak kembali dengan hampa.

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow did not turn back. Saul’s sword did not return empty.

23 Saul dan Yonatan, orang-orang yang dicintai dan yang ramah, dalam hidup dan matinya tidak terpisah. Mereka lebih cepat dari burung rajawali, mereka lebih kuat dari singa.

Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

24 Hai anak-anak perempuan Israel, menangislah karena Saul, yang mendandani kamu dengan pakaian mewah dari kain kirmizi, yang menyematkan perhiasan emas pada pakaianmu.

You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.

25 Betapa gugur para pahlawan di tengah-tengah pertempuran! Yonatan mati terbunuh di bukit-bukitmu.

How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.

26 Merasa susah aku karena engkau, saudaraku Yonatan, engkau sangat ramah kepadaku; bagiku cintamu lebih ajaib dari pada cinta perempuan.

I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.

27 Betapa gugur para pahlawan dan musnah senjata-senjata perang!

How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
