1 Samuel 20
1 Daud melarikan diri dari Nayot dan pergi menemui Yonatan, serta bertanya, “Apakah kesalahan atau dosaku terhadap ayahmu, sehingga dia ingin membunuhku?”
David ran away from [the] Naioth [section] of Ramah [city]. He went to Jonathan and asked him, “What have I done [to displease your father]? What did I do that was wrong? Why is he trying to kill me?”
2 Yonatan menjawab, “Itu tidak benar! Aku yakin dia tidak mempunyai rencana sejahat itu, karena dia selalu memberitahukan segala rencananya kepadaku, baik perkara besar maupun perkara kecil. Tidak mungkin dia menyembunyikan hal itu dariku. Hal itu tidak mungkin benar!”
Jonathan replied, “My father is surely not trying to kill you! He always tells me before he does anything that he is planning. He tells me about important things and unimportant things that he plans to do. (Why would he refuse to tell me [if he were planning to kill me]?/I am sure that he would not refuse to tell me [if he were planning to kill you].) [RHQ] So what you are saying cannot be true.”
3 Jawab Daud, “Ayahmu tahu mengenai persahabatan kita. Itu sebabnya dia tidak akan memberitahukannya kepadamu, supaya tidak menyakiti hatimu. Aku menyatakan di hadapan TUHAN yang hidup dan di hadapanmu bahwa aku sudah sangat dekat dengan kematian.”
Then David solemnly declared this to Jonathan: “Your father knows very well that you and I are very good friends, so he says to himself, ‘I will not tell Jonathan [what I am going to do]. If I tell Jonathan, he will be upset/distressed, [and then he will tell David].’ But just as certain as Yahweh lives and you live, I am only one step away from being killed.”
4 Lalu Yonatan berkata kepada Daud, “Wah, kalau demikian, beritahukanlah bagaimana aku dapat menolongmu!”
Jonathan said to David, “I will do whatever you tell me to do.”
5 Daud berkata kepadanya, “Kamu tahu bahwa besok adalah perayaan bulan baru, dan aku biasanya makan bersama raja pada hari itu. Tetapi kali ini biarlah aku bersembunyi di padang sampai petang pada hari ketiga.
David replied, “Tomorrow we will celebrate the Festival of the New Moon. I always eat with the king at that festival. But tomorrow I will hide in the field, and I will stay there for one night. I will stay there until the evening of the day after tomorrow.
6 Apabila ayahmu bertanya tentang aku, maka katakanlah, ‘Daud meminta izin kepadaku untuk pulang ke Betlehem, karena di sana ada upacara kurban tahunan bagi seluruh keluarganya.’
If your father asks why I am not there at the festival, say to him, ‘David requested me to allow him to go to his home in Bethlehem, where his family will offer the sacrifice that they offer [during this festival] every year.’
7 Jika dia berkata, ‘Baiklah,’ maka aku tidak dalam keadaan berbahaya. Tetapi, apabila hal itu membuatnya sangat marah, maka kamu akan mengetahui bahwa dia memiliki niat jahat terhadapku.
If your father says ‘That is okay’, then I know I will be safe. But if he becomes extremely angry, you will know that he is determined to harm me.
8 Tunjukkanlah kasih dan kesetiaanmu kepada hambamu ini, karena kita sudah mengikat perjanjian persahabatan di hadapan TUHAN. Apabila aku bersalah, lebih baik kamu saja yang membunuhku! Tetapi jangan serahkan aku kepada ayahmu.”
Please be kind to me. Yahweh heard you when you made a solemn agreement with me [that you and I will always be loyal friends]. If I deserve to be punished [MTY], kill me yourself. I do not want [RHQ] you to allow your father to punish [IDM] me.”
9 Jawab Yonatan, “Tidak akan pernah! Apabila aku mengetahui bahwa ayahku mempunyai rencana untuk membunuhmu, aku pasti memberitahukannya kepadamu!”
Jonathan replied, “I will never do that! But if I find out that my father is determined to harm/kill you, I will certainly warn you.” [RHQ]
10 Lalu Daud bertanya, “Bagaimana kita mengatur rencana supaya aku bisa tahu apabila ayahmu marah kepadaku?”
David asked him, “How will I find out if your father answers you harshly?”
11 Yonatan menjawab, “Marilah kita keluar ke padang.” Maka mereka pun pergi bersama-sama ke padang.
Jonathan replied, “Come with me. We will go out into the field.” So they went together out into the field.
12 Lalu Yonatan berkata kepada Daud, “Aku berjanji di hadapan TUHAN Allah Israel, besok atau lusa kira-kira waktu seperti sekarang ini, aku akan menyelidiki perasaan ayahku terhadapmu. Apabila keadaan baik-baik saja, aku akan mengirimkan orang untuk menyampaikan berita itu kepadamu.
There Jonathan said to David, “I promise this while Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], is listening: At this time the day after tomorrow, I will find out what my father [is thinking about you]. If he is saying good things about you, I will certainly send a message to you to tell that to you [RHQ].
13 Tetapi apabila ayahku sangat marah dan ingin membunuhmu, aku berjanji untuk memberitahukannya kepadamu dan menyuruhmu pergi. Biarlah TUHAN menghukum aku, bahkan mencabut nyawaku, jika aku tidak menepati janji ini! Dan biarlah TUHAN menyertaimu, seperti dahulu Dia menyertai ayahku.
But if he is planning to hurt/kill you, I will enable you to know [IDM] that, and enable you to go away safely. I desire that Yahweh will punish me severely if I do not do that [for you]. I desire/hope that Yahweh will be with you [and help you] like he has helped my father.
14 Jika aku masih hidup, ingatlah perjanjian persahabatan kita dan tunjukkanlah kasih dan kesetiamu kepadaku. Tetapi jika aku sudah mati,
But while I am still alive, please be kind to me in the same way that Yahweh is kind to me, and do not kill me [when you become king].
15 aku memohon untuk tetap menunjukkan kasih dan kesetiaanmu kepada keturunanku sampai selamanya, bahkan ketika TUHAN sudah melenyapkan semua musuhmu dari muka bumi.”
But [if I die, ] never stop being kind to my family, [even] after Yahweh has gotten rid of all your enemies all over the earth.”
16 Demikianlah Yonatan membuat perjanjian dengan keluarga Daud, dengan berkata, “Biarlah TUHAN memusnahkan seluruh musuh-musuhmu.”
[David agreed]. So Jonathan made a solemn agreement with David. And he said, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will get rid of all your enemies.”
17 Lalu Yonatan mengajak Daud untuk mengulangi lagi sumpah persahabatan mereka, karena dia mengasihi Daud seperti dirinya sendiri.
And Jonathan requested David to repeat his solemn promise to be his close friend, because Jonathan loved David as much as he loved himself.
18 Berkatalah Yonatan kepada Daud, “Besok memang perayaan bulan baru, dan kamu pasti akan dipertanyakan sebab tempat dudukmu kosong.
Then Jonathan said, “Tomorrow we will celebrate the Festival of the New Moon. When you are not sitting at your place when we eat, my father will (miss you/see that you are not there).
19 Kemudian lusa kamu pasti akan dicari. Pada waktu itu pergilah ke ladang tempat persembunyianmu yang dahulu itu, dan duduklah di belakang bukit batu yang di situ.
The day after tomorrow, in the evening, go to the place where you hid before. Wait by the pile of stones.
20 Aku akan menembakkan tiga anak panah ke samping bukit batu itu, seolah-olah aku sedang membidik suatu sasaran.
I will come out and shoot three arrows as though I were trying to shoot at a target. [The arrows will hit the ground] close to the pile of stones.
21 Lalu aku akan berkata kepada budakku, ‘Pergilah dan temukanlah anak-anak panah itu.’ Jika aku kemudian berkata, ‘Lihatlah, panah itu lebih dekat lagi ke mari,’ maka kamu aman dan tidak perlu sembunyikan diri lagi. Jika aku berkata demikian, aku berjanji di hadapan TUHAN yang hidup bahwa tidak ada sesuatu yang membahayakanmu.
Then I will send a boy to bring the arrows back to me. If you hear me say to him, ‘They are closer to me’, then as surely as Yahweh lives, you will know that everything is fine, [and that Saul will not kill you].
22 Tetapi, apabila aku berkata, ‘Lihatlah, anak-anak panah itu masih lebih jauh ke sana,’ maka pergilah. Itu berarti bahwa ternyata TUHAN sedang menyuruh kamu pergi.
But if I tell him, ‘The arrows are farther away’, you will know that you must leave immediately, because Yahweh wants you to run away.
23 Kalau hal itu terjadi, semoga TUHAN yang menjadi saksi untuk selamanya bahwa kita dengan setia mengingat perjanjian kita itu.”
I hope/desire that Yahweh will watch you and me and enable us to never forget what we have promised each other.”
24 Kemudian Daud bersembunyi di padang. Dan pada perayaan bulan baru itu, raja duduk di tempatnya.
So David went and hid in the field. When the Festival of the New Moon started, the king sat down to eat.
25 Seperti biasanya dia duduk di dekat dinding. Yonatan duduk berhadapan dengannya, dan Abner duduk di sebelah Saul, tetapi tempat duduk Daud kosong.
He sat where he usually sat, close to the wall. Jonathan sat across from him, and Abner [the army commander] sat next to Saul. But no one was sitting in the place where David [usually sat].
26 Hari itu Saul tidak mengatakan apa-apa, sebab dia berpikir bahwa mungkin Daud tidak bisa mengikuti perayaan pada hari itu karena menyentuh sesuatu yang membuat dia menjadi najis.
On that day, Saul did not say anything about David, because he was thinking, “Something must have happened that caused David to become unacceptable [to worship God].”
27 Ketika pada hari berikutnya tempat duduk Daud masih kosong, berkatalah Saul kepada Yonatan, “Mengapa anak Isai itu tidak datang untuk makan, baik kemarin maupun hari ini?”
But the next day, when David was not sitting at the place where he usually sat, Saul asked Jonathan, “Why has that son of Jesse not been here to eat with us yesterday and today?”
28 Jawab Yonatan, “Dia memohon dengan sungguh-sungguh supaya aku mengizinkan dia pulang ke Betlehem.
Jonathan replied, “David earnestly requested me that I permit him to go to Bethlehem.
29 Katanya, ‘Biarkanlah aku pergi, sebab ada upacara kurban bagi keluarga kami di sana. Kakakku sudah memberi pesan bahwa aku harus hadir. Demikianlah, jika aku berkenan di matamu, izinkanlah aku pergi untuk menjenguk saudara-saudaraku.’ Itulah sebabnya Daud tidak datang ke perjamuan raja.”
He said, ‘Please allow me to go, because our family is going to offer a sacrifice. My [older] brother insisted that I be there. So please allow me to go to be with my [older] brothers.’ [I allowed David to go], and that is the reason that he is not here eating with you.”
30 Lalu Saul menjadi sangat marah kepada Yonatan dan berkata, “Kamu anak pemberontak yang kurang ajar! Apakah aku tidak tahu bahwa kamu sudah berpihak kepada Daud dan kamu mempermalukan dirimu serta ibumu?
Saul was (furious/very angry) with Jonathan. He yelled at him, “You stupid bastard [EUP]! I know that you are being loyal to that son of Jesse. By doing that, you will bring shame to yourself and to your mother.
31 Selama anak Isai itu masih hidup, kamu tidak akan bisa menjadi raja. Sekarang pergi dan bawalah dia ke sini, supaya aku membunuhnya!”
As long as Jesse’s son is living, you will never become the king, and you will never rule over a kingdom! So now, summon David, and bring him to me. He must be executed!”
32 Jawab Yonatan, “Mengapa dia harus dibunuh?! Apakah yang sudah dilakukannya?”
Jonathan asked his father, “Why should David be executed? What wrong has he done?”
33 Lalu Saul melemparkan tombaknya ke arah Yonatan untuk membunuhnya. Jadi, Yonatan benar-benar menyadari bahwa bapaknya sungguh-sungguh berniat untuk membunuh Daud.
Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan in order to kill him, [but the spear did not hit him]. So Jonathan knew that his father really wanted to kill David.
34 Kemudian bangkitlah amarah Yonatan dan dia meninggalkan meja perjamuan. Dia tidak makan apa-apa pada hari kedua bulan baru itu, sebab hatinya susah dan gelisah karena bapaknya sudah menghina dan ingin membunuh Daud.
Jonathan was very angry, and he left the room. On that second day of the festival, he refused to eat anything. He was disgusted about what his father had done, and he was worried about David.
35 Keesokan paginya, Yonatan keluar ke padang bersama budaknya, seorang anak laki-laki muda, sesuai dengan janjinya kepada Daud.
The following morning Jonathan went out to the field to give a message to David, like he had agreed that he would do. He took a young boy with him.
36 Berkatalah Yonatan kepada budaknya, “Larilah dan carilah anak-anak panah yang kupanahkan itu.” Ketika budaknya sedang berlari, Yonatan melepaskan anak panah yang lebih jauh lagi melewati budaknya itu.
Jonathan said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” The boy started running, and Jonathan shot an arrow ahead of the boy.
37 Ketika budak itu mendekati tempat jatuhnya anak-anak panah itu, maka Yonatan berseru, “Bukankah anak panah itu berada lebih jauh ke sana?”
When the boy ran to the place where the arrow hit the ground, Jonathan called out, “The arrow is further away!” [RHQ]
38 Lalu Yonatan berseru lagi, “Ayo cepat! Jangan hanya berdiri saja!” Lalu budak itu mengambil anak-anak panah itu dan berlari kembali untuk menyerahkannya kepada tuannya.
Then he shouted to the boy, “Act quickly; do not wait! Do not stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and brought it back to Jonathan.
39 Tetapi budaknya itu tidak mengerti apa-apa. Hanya Yonatan dan Daud yang mengetahui arti tanda itu.
But the boy did not understand the meaning of what Jonathan had said; only Jonathan and David knew.
40 Kemudian Yonatan memberikan busur dan anak panahnya kepada budak itu dan berkata, “Pergilah dan bawa kembali ke kota.”
Then Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy and told him, “Go back to the town.”
41 Sesudah budak itu pergi, Daud muncul dari tempat persembunyiannya, lalu bersujud tiga kali di hadapan Yonatan. Dan mereka berdua saling berpelukan dan menangis bersama, tetapi Daud menangis lebih keras.
When the boy left, David came out from the south side of the pile of stones behind which he had been hiding. He went to Jonathan and bowed [in front of Jonathan] three times, with his face touching the ground. Then David and Jonathan kissed each other [on the cheek/neck], and they cried together. But David cried more than Jonathan.
42 Lalu Yonatan berkata kepada Daud, “Pergilah dengan perasaan tenang, sebab kita sudah bersumpah di hadapan TUHAN dengan berkata, ‘Semoga TUHAN senantiasa menjaga hubungan kita, dan keturunan kita sampai selama-lamanya.’” Sesudah itu, Daud pergi, dan Yonatan kembali ke kota.
Jonathan said to David, “May things go well for you as you go. Yahweh has heard what we solemnly promised to always do for each other, and what we said that our descendants must do for each other.” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.
