2 Samuel 1

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

Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from smiting the 'Amalekites, that David abode in Ziklag two days.

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.

And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and it happened, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.

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

And David said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.

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."

And David said unto him, What took place there? I pray thee, tell me. And he said, That the people are fled from the battle, and that also many of the people are fallen and have died; and that also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.

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

And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul is dead as also Jonathan his son?

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.

And the young man that told him said, I happened entirely by chance to be upon mount Gilboa', when, behold, there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen had overtaken him.

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

And he turned round, and he saw me, and called unto me, And I said, Here am I.

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

And he said unto me, Who art thou! And I answered him, An 'Amalekite am I.

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

And he said unto me, Place thyself, I pray thee, by me, and slay me; for a mortal tremor hath seized on me, although my life is yet whole 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 placed myself by him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them unto my lord hither.

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

David thereupon took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and [so did] likewise all the men that were with him:

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.

And they lamented, and wept, and fasted until the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were 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."

And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, The son of a stranger, an 'Amalekite, am I.

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

And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy 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.

And David called one of the young men, and said, Come near, and fall upon him. And he smote him 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."

And David said unto him, Thy blood is upon thy own head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I myself have slain the Lord's anointed.

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

And 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 said, That the children of Judah should be taught the bow; behold it is written in the book of Yashar.

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

O beauty of Israel! upon the high places slain: how are the mighty 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!

Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; that the daughters of the Philistines may not be glad, that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not rejoice.

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.

O mountains of Gilboa', no dew, nor rain be upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was stained, the shield of Saul, as though it had not been 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, the bow of Jonathan turned never back, and the sword of Saul never returned 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, the beloved and the dear in their lives, were even in their death not divided: more than eagles were they swift, more than lions were they strong.

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

O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with beautiful dresses, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

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

How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, on thy high places slain.

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

I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very dear hast thou been unto me: wonderful was thy love for me, passing the love of women.

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

How are the mighty fallen, and lost the instruments of war!
