2 Samuel 1
1 Setelah Daud mengejar dan membunuh orang-orang Amalek yang sudah menjarah Ziklag, dia kembali dan tinggal di Ziklag selama dua hari tanpa mendengar berita tentang Saul maupun tentang pertempuran melawan pasukan Filistin.
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag;
2 Pada hari ketiga, datanglah seseorang dari perkemahan pasukan Saul. Dia sudah merobek pakaiannya dan menaburkan tanah di kepalanya sebagai tanda berkabung. Setibanya di hadapan Daud, dia bersujud memberi hormat.
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth on his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3 Lalu Daud bertanya kepadanya, “Kamu dari mana?” Jawabnya, “Dari perkemahan pasukan Israel. Hamba berhasil meloloskan diri dari serbuan orang Filistin di sana.”
And David said to him, From where come you? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4 Tanya Daud kepadanya, “Apa yang terjadi dalam pertempuran itu? Beritahu saya!” Jawab orang itu, “Pasukan Israel melarikan diri dari pertempuran dan banyak yang terbunuh, bahkan Saul dan Yonatan mati!”
And David said to him, How went the matter? I pray you, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5 Berkatalah Daud kepada orang itu, “Bagaimana kamu tahu bahwa Saul dan putranya sudah mati?”
And David said to the young man that told him, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6 Jawab orang itu, “Kebetulan hamba berada di gunung Gilboa dan melihat Saul bersandar pada tombaknya, sementara kereta-kereta kuda dan pasukan penunggang kuda musuh sedang mendekatinya.
And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance on mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and, see, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 Ketika Saul menoleh ke belakang, dia melihat dan memanggil saya. Lalu saya menjawab, ‘Ya, Tuanku.’
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 “Dia bertanya, ‘Kamu siapa?’ “Dan saya jawab, ‘Saya orang Amalek.’
And he said to me, Who are you? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 “Kemudian Saul berkata, ‘Datanglah mendekat dan bunuhlah saya! Saya sudah sekarat, tetapi belum mati juga.’
He said to me again, Stand, I pray you, on me, and slay me: for anguish is come on me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10 Jadi hamba membunuhnya, karena hamba tahu dia tidak akan selamat dengan kondisi seperti itu. Kemudian hamba mengambil mahkota dari kepalanya serta gelang di lengannya dan membawanya ke sini kepada Tuanku.”
So I stood on him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and 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 Maka Daud beserta semua pengikutnya merobek pakaian mereka sebagai tanda berkabung.
Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12 Mereka meratap, menangis, dan berpuasa sepanjang hari karena kematian Saul, Yonatan, dan begitu banyak pasukan TUHAN, umat Israel.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, 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 Lalu tanya Daud kepada pembawa kabar itu, “Dari mana asalmu?” Jawabnya, “Hamba adalah orang Amalek. Ayah hamba seorang perantau yang tinggal di negeri Israel.”
And David said to the young man that told him, From where are you? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14 Daud berkata lagi kepadanya, “Mengapa kamu menganggap dirimu pantas membunuh orang yang dipilih TUHAN?!”
And David said to him, How were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?
15 Daud pun memanggil salah seorang tentaranya dan berkata, “Bunuh dia!” Maka tentara itu membunuh pembawa kabar tadi.
And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall on him. And he smote him that he died.
16 Sebelum orang itu dibunuh, Daud berkata kepadanya, “Kamu bertanggung jawab atas kematianmu sendiri, karena kamulah yang mengakui bahwa kamu membunuh orang yang dipilih TUHAN.”
And 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 meratapi Saul dan Yonatan dengan menyanyikan lagu perkabungan yang diberinya judul “Busur dan Anak Panah.” Daud juga memerintahkan agar lagu itu diajarkan kepada semua orang di Yehuda. Lagu ini tertulis dalam Kitab Orang-orang Jujur. Inilah kata-kata dalam lagu Daud itu:
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19 Oh Israel, yang engkau muliakan sudah terbunuh di bukit-bukit! Sudah gugur para pahlawan yang gagah perkasa!
The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 Jangan beritakan kisah itu di Gat, jangan ceritakan di jalan-jalan Askelon, supaya gadis-gadis Filistin tidak bersuka, dan para penyembah berhala tidak bersorak!
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 Semoga hujan atau embun tidak turun atas gunung-gunung di Gilboa. Semoga ladang di daerah itu tidak menghasilkan gandum yang dapat dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN! Karena di sanalah perisai-perisai para pahlawan Israel tercampak dengan penuh aib, dan perisai Saul tidak lagi digosok dengan minyak supaya mengkilat.
You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, on you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22 Pedang Saul dan panah Yonatan tidak pernah gagal membunuh musuh. Senjata-senjata perang mereka selalu berlumur darah dan lemak para pahlawan yang terbunuh.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23 Saul dan Yonatan sangat disayangi semasa hidup mereka. Keduanya tak terpisahkan saat hidup maupun mati. Mereka lebih cepat daripada rajawali, lebih kuat daripada singa.
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 Hai gadis-gadis Israel, ratapilah kematian Saul, yang sudah mengenakan kepada kalian pakaian terbaik dan mewah, yang sudah menghiasi pakaian kalian dengan emas.
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold on your apparel.
25 Betapa aku berdukacita karena para pahlawan kita sudah gugur di tengah pertempuran! Yonatan terbunuh di atas bukit-bukit!
How are the mighty fallen in the middle of the battle! O Jonathan, you were slain in your high places.
26 Aku sangat berduka karena engkau, Yonatan, saudaraku! Aku sungguh mengasihimu. Kasih persahabatanmu bagiku melebihi kasih seorang istri.
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant have you been to me: your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27 Betapa para pahlawan Israel sudah gugur! Senjata peperangan mereka terbuang dan tak berguna!
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
