1 Samuel 19
1 Pada suatu hari, Saul menyuruh Yonatan dan para pegawainya untuk membunuh Daud. Tetapi karena Yonatan sangat mengasihi Daud,
And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.
2 dia memberitahukan Daud, “Berhati-hatilah karena ayahku mencari kesempatan untuk membunuhmu. Besok pagi kamu bersembunyi di padang sana. Aku akan mengajak dia bersamaku ke padang itu. Lalu aku akan berbicara kepadanya tentang kamu. Waktu dia kembali ke kota, aku akan memberitahukan hasil diskusi itu kepadamu.” Jadi Daud bersembunyi di tempat itu.
And Jonathan said to David, Saul, my father, is purposing your death: so now, take care in the morning, and keep yourself safe in a secret place:
And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.
4 Pagi itu Yonatan mengingatkan bapaknya tentang perbuatan Daud dalam melayani Saul dengan baik. Kata Yonatan, “Janganlah kiranya Ayah berbuat dosa dengan menghukum Daud, karena dia tidak berbuat salah apa pun terhadap Ayah. Dia selalu melayani Ayah dengan sangat baik.
And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:
5 Dia sudah mempertaruhkan nyawanya ketika melawan Goliat, dan akibatnya TUHAN memberikan kemenangan besar kepada Israel. Ayah sangat bersukacita melihat hal-hal itu terjadi! Janganlah Ayah berbuat dosa dengan membunuh orang yang tidak bersalah itu! Tidak ada alasan berbuat demikian!”
For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?
6 Saul mendengar nasihat Yonatan dan bersumpah, “Aku berjanji di hadapan TUHAN yang hidup, Daud tidak akan dibunuh.”
And Saul gave ear to the voice of Jonathan, and said with an oath, By the living Lord, he is not to be put to death.
7 Sesudah itu Yonatan memanggil Daud dan memberitahukan kepadanya semua pembicaraan itu. Lalu Yonatan membawa Daud menghadap Saul dan Daud kembali melayani Saul seperti dahulu.
Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.
8 Ketika terjadi lagi peperangan antara orang Filistin dan Israel, pasukan Daud begitu keras menghantam pasukan Filistin sehingga mereka melarikan diri.
And there was war again: and David went out fighting the Philistines, causing great destruction among them; and they went in flight before him.
9 Tetapi pada suatu hari sesudah itu, roh penyiksa datang lagi dari TUHAN dan menguasai Saul. Saat itu dia sedang duduk di rumahnya sambil memegang tombaknya, dan Daud sedang memainkan kecapi.
And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.
10 Tiba-tiba Saul melemparkan tombaknya ke arah Daud untuk menancapkannya ke tembok. Tetapi Daud berhasil menghindar, dan tombak itu tertancap di dinding. Malam itu juga Daud melarikan diri.
And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away.
11 Kemudian Saul mengirim para utusan ke rumah Daud untuk mengawasinya, dengan rencana untuk membunuhnya pada keesokan paginya. Tetapi Mikal, istri Daud memberitahunya, “Jika kamu tidak melarikan diri malam ini, besok kamu pasti akan dibunuh!”
Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.
12 Jadi Mikal membantu Daud turun dari jendela, dan dia lolos dan menyelamatkan diri.
So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.
13 Sesudah itu, Mikal mengambil sebuah patung dewa pelindung keluarga dan menaruhnya di atas tempat tidur, lalu agar mirip dengan rambut Daud, dia menaruh kain dari bulu kambing di bagian kepala patung itu, dan menutupinya dengan selimut.
Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.
14 Esok paginya ketika para utusan Saul datang untuk menangkap Daud, Mikal berkata, “Daud sedang sakit.”
And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.
15 Sesudah Saul mendengar laporan itu, dia berkata kepada para utusan itu, “Bawalah dia kepadaku sekalian dengan tempat tidurnya, supaya aku dapat membunuhnya.”
And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.
16 Kemudian para utusan masuk ke dalam rumah Daud, tetapi mereka hanya menemukan sebuah patung di atas tempat tidurnya dengan kain dari bulu kambing di bagian kepala.
And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head
17 Saul berkata kepada Mikal, “Mengapa kamu menipu aku dengan cara ini? Kamu sudah melepaskan musuhku, sehingga dia bisa melarikan diri.” Mikal menjawab Saul, “Daud berkata kepadaku, ‘Biarkan aku lolos atau kamu mati!’”
And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.
18 Sesudah Daud melarikan diri, dia pergi menjumpai Samuel di kota Rama. Di sana dia menceritakan kepada Samuel segala hal yang sudah dilakukan Saul kepadanya. Kemudian Samuel dan Daud pergi bersama-sama ke Nayot.
So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.
19 Lalu Saul menerima berita bahwa Daud sedang berada di Nayot, dekat kota Rama.
And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.
20 Lalu Saul secara diam-diam mengirim satu regu tentara untuk menangkap Daud. Tetapi ketika mereka tiba di Nayot, mereka melihat sekumpulan nabi yang sedang bernubuat dan memuji Allah. Kemudian Roh Allah juga turun atas regu tentara itu dan mereka juga ikut bernubuat serta memuji Allah.
And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.
21 Saul mendapatkan laporan tentang hal itu, maka dia mengirimkan regu tentara yang lain, tetapi mereka pun ikut bernubuat. Lalu untuk ketiga kalinya Saul mengirim satu regu tentara, dan mereka pun ikut bernubuat.
And Saul, having news of this, sent other men, who in the same way became like prophets. And a third time Saul sent men, and they like the others became like prophets.
22 Akhirnya, Saul sendiri membawa satu regu tentara ke kota Rama. Setibanya di dekat sumur besar di kampung Seku, dia bertanya, “Di mana Samuel dan Daud?” Orang di situ menjawab, “Mereka berada di Nayot, dekat Rama.”
Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.
23 Ketika Saul mendekati Nayot, Roh Allah turun pada dirinya dan dia pun bernubuat selama sisa perjalanannya ke sana.
And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Waktu tiba, dia melepaskan pakaiannya dan bernubuat di hadapan Samuel. Dia berbaring telanjang sepanjang hari dan malam itu. Oleh karena itu, orang-orang lain yang mendengar tentang kejadian itu saling bertanya, “Wah! Bagaimana Saul bisa menjadi nabi?!”
And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
