2 Samuel 1
1 Saul'un ölümünden sonra Amalekliler'e karşı kazandığı zaferden dönen Davut Ziklak'ta iki gün kaldı.
After Saul died, David [and the men who were with him] returned to Ziklag [town] after defeating the descendants of Amalek. They stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2 Üçüncü gün, Saul'un ordugahından giysileri yırtılmış, başı toz toprak içinde bir adam geldi. Adam Davut'a yaklaşınca önünde yere kapandı.
On the third day, unexpectedly a man arrived there who had come from where Saul’s army was camped. He had torn his clothes and put dust on his head [to show that he was grieving]. He came to David, and prostrated himself on the ground [in front of David to show respect for him].
3 Davut, “Nereden geliyorsun?” diye sordu. Adam, “İsrail ordugahından kaçıp kurtuldum” dedi.
David asked him, “Where have you come from?” The man replied, “I escaped from where the Israeli army had been camped.”
4 Davut, “Ne oldu? Bana anlat” dedi. Adam askerlerin savaş alanından kaçtığını, birçoğunun düşüp öldüğünü, Saul'la oğlu Yonatan'ın da ölüler arasında olduğunu anlattı.
David asked him, “What happened? Tell me [about the battle]!” The man replied, “The Israeli soldiers ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. And Saul and his son Jonathan (are dead/were also killed).”
5 Davut, kendisine haberi veren genç adama, “Saul'la oğlu Yonatan'ın öldüğünü nereden biliyorsun?” diye sordu.
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
6 Genç adam şöyle yanıtladı: “Bir rastlantı sonucu Gilboa Dağı'ndaydım. Saul mızrağına dayanmıştı. Atlılarla savaş arabaları ona doğru yaklaşıyordu.
The young man replied, “It happened that I was on Gilboa Mountain [where the battle occurred], and I saw Saul, leaning on his spear. The [enemy] chariots and their drivers had come very close to Saul.
7 Saul arkasına dönüp beni görünce seslendi. Ben de, ‘Buyrun, buradayım’ dedim.
Saul turned around and saw me, and he called out to me. I answered him and said, ‘What do you want me to do?’
8 “Saul, ‘Sen kimsin?’ diye sordu. “‘Ben bir Amalekli'yim’ diye yanıtladım.
He replied, ‘Who are you?’ I replied, ‘I am a descendant of Amalek.’
9 “Saul, ‘Ne olur üstüme var ve beni öldür!’ dedi, ‘Çünkü çektiğim acılardan kurtulmak istiyorum.’
Then he said to me, ‘Come over here and kill me. I am still alive, but I am enduring a lot of pain.’
10 Bu yüzden varıp onu öldürdüm. Çünkü yere düştükten sonra yaşayamayacağını biliyordum. Başındaki taçla kolundaki bileziği aldım ve onları buraya, efendime getirdim.”
So I went to him and killed him, because I knew that he was wounded very badly and would (not continue to live/soon die). I took the crown that was on his head and the band/bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them to you.”
11 Bunun üzerine Davut'la yanındakiler giysilerini yırttılar.
Then David and all the men who were with him tore their clothes [to show that they were very sad].
12 Kılıçtan geçirilen Saul, oğlu Yonatan ve RAB'bin halkı olan İsrailliler için akşama dek yas tutup ağladılar, oruç tuttular.
They mourned for Saul and his son Jonathan, and they cried and (fasted/abstained from eating food) until it was evening. They also mourned for all the army of Yahweh, and for all the Israeli people, because many of their soldiers had been killed in the battle [MTY].
13 Davut, kendisine haber getiren genç adama, “Nerelisin?” diye sordu. Adam, “Ben yabancıyım, bir Amalekli'nin oğluyum” dedi.
Then David asked the young man who had told him [about the battle], “Where are you from?” He replied, “My father is a descendant of Amalek, but we live in Israel.”
14 Davut, “RAB'bin meshettiği kişiye el kaldırıp onu yok etmekten korkmadın mı?” diye sordu.
David asked him, “(Why were you not afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king]?/You should have been afraid [that you would be punished if you] killed Saul, whom Yahweh had appointed [MTY] [to be the king].) [RHQ]
15 Sonra adamlarından birini çağırıp, “Git, öldür onu!” diye buyurdu. Böylece adam Amalekli'yi vurup öldürdü.
You yourself said, ‘I killed the man whom Yahweh appointed to be the king.’ So you have caused yourself to be guilty [MTY] of causing your own death!” Then David summoned one of his soldiers and said to him, “Kill him!” So the soldier killed him by striking him [with a sword].
16 Davut Amalekli'ye, “Kanından sen kendin sorumlusun” demişti, “Çünkü ‘RAB'bin meshettiği kişiyi ben öldürdüm’ demekle kendine karşı ağzınla tanıklıkta bulundun.”
17 Davut Saul'la oğlu Yonatan için ağıt yaktı.
Then David composed/wrote this sad song about Saul and Jonathan,
18 Sonra Yaşar Kitabı'nda yazılan Yay adındaki ağıtın Yahuda halkına öğretilmesini buyurdu:
and he commanded that it be taught to the people of Judah. [The song is called] ‘The Bow [and Arrow]’ and it has been written in the Book of Jashar:
19 “Ey İsrail, senin yüceliğin yüksek tepelerinde yok oldu! Güçlüler nasıl da yere serildi!
“You Israeli people, your glorious [MTY] leaders have been killed on the mountains! [It is very sad that] those mighty men have died!
20 Haberi ne Gat'a duyurun, Ne de Aşkelon sokaklarında yayın. Öyle ki, ne Filistliler'in kızları sevinsin, Ne de sünnetsizlerin kızları coşsun.
“Do not tell it [to our enemies in the Philistia area]; do not tell to the people who live in Gath [city] what happened; do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon [city], because if you tell them, [even] the women in that area will be happy; do not allow those (pagan women/women who do not know God) to rejoice.
21 Ey Gilboa dağları, Üzerinize ne çiy ne de yağmur düşsün. Ürün veren tarlalarınız olmasın. Çünkü güçlünün kalkanı, Bir daha yağ sürülmeyecek olan Saul'un kalkanı Orada bir yana atıldı!
I hope/desire that there will be no rain or dew on the mountains of [the] Gilboa [area] [APO], and that no grain will grow in the fields there, because there the shield of Saul, the mighty [king], fell on the ground. No one rubbed [olive] oil on Saul’s shield;
22 Yonatan'ın yayı yere serilmişlerin kanından, Yiğitlerin bedenlerinden hiç geri çekilmedi. Saul'un kılıcı hiç boşa savrulmadı.
instead, it was stained with the blood of those whom he had killed, and the fat of mighty enemy soldiers was smeared on it. Jonathan [PRS] did not retreat carrying his bow [and arrows], and Saul always [defeated his enemies when he fought them] with his sword. [PRS, LIT]
23 Saul'la Yonatan tatlı ve sevimliydiler, Yaşamda da ölümde de ayrılmadılar. Kartallardan daha çevik, Aslanlardan daha güçlüydüler.
“Saul and Jonathan were loved and they pleased many people. They were together [LIT] while they lived and when they died. [In battles] they were swifter than eagles and they were stronger than lions.
24 Ey İsrail kızları! Sizi al renkli, süslü giysilerle donatan, Giysinizi altın süslerle bezeyen Saul için ağlayın!
“You Israeli women, cry about Saul; He provided beautiful scarlet/red clothes for you and he gave you gold ornaments/jewelry to fasten on those clothes.
25 Güçlüler nasıl da yere serildi savaşta! Yonatan senin yüksek tepelerinde ölü yatıyor.
“[It is very sad that] this mighty soldier has died! Jonathan has been killed on the mountains/hills.
26 Senin için üzgünüm, kardeşim Yonatan. Benim için çok değerliydin. Sevgin kadın sevgisinden daha üstündü.
Jonathan, my dear friend, I grieve for you; you were very dear to me. You loved me in a wonderful manner; it was better than the way that a woman loves [her husband and her children].
27 Güçlüler nasıl da yere serildi! Savaş silahları yok oldu!”
“It is very sad that those mighty men have died, and their weapons are now abandoned!
