1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines assembled their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
Pada suatu ketika orang Filistin mengerahkan tentaranya untuk maju berperang. Mereka mengatur barisannya di kota Sokho, dalam wilayah Yehuda dan memasang perkemahannya di antara Sokho dan Azeka, dekat Efes-Damim.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of terebinths, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Saul dan orang-orang Israel berkumpul juga dan berkemah di Lembah Ela; mereka bersiap-siap untuk menghadapi serangan orang Filistin.
3 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and the ravine was between them.
Demikianlah barisan orang Filistin berdiri di sebuah bukit dan barisan orang Israel di bukit yang lain, dan di antaranya ada sebuah lembah.
4 And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
Maka seorang jago berkelahi yang bernama Goliat, dari kota Gat, keluar dari perkemahan Filistin untuk menantang orang Israel. Tingginya kira-kira tiga meter,
5 And he had a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he was clothed with a corselet of scales; and the weight of the corselet was five thousand shekels of bronze.
dan ia memakai topi tembaga dan baju perang tembaga yang beratnya kira-kira lima puluh tujuh kilogram.
6 And he had greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.
Kakinya dilindungi oleh penutup kaki dari tembaga, dan di bahunya ia memanggul lembing tembaga.
7 And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and the shield-bearer went before him.
Gagang tombaknya sebesar kayu pada alat tenun, dan mata tombaknya kira-kira tujuh kilogram beratnya. Seorang prajurit berjalan di depannya dengan membawa perisainya.
8 And he stood and cried to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I the Philistine, and ye servants of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
Goliat berhenti lalu berseru kepada tentara Israel, "Apa yang sedang kamu lakukan di situ? Hendak berperangkah kamu? Aku seorang Filistin, hai hamba-hamba Saul! Pilihlah seorang di antara kamu yang berani turun untuk bertempur melawan aku.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and to smite me, then will we be your servants; but if I overcome and smite him, then shall ye be our servants and serve us.
Jika dalam perang tanding itu, aku terbunuh, kami rela menjadi hambamu, tetapi jika aku yang menang dan membunuhnya, kamulah yang akan menjadi hamba kami.
10 And the Philistine said, I have defied the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
Sekarang juga, kutantang tentara Israel; pilihlah seorang untuk bertanding melawan aku!"
11 And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
Ketika Saul dan orang-orangnya mendengar tantangan itu, terkejutlah mereka dan menjadi sangat ketakutan.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old in the days of Saul, advanced [in years] among men.
Daud adalah anak Isai orang Efrata, dari Betlehem di Yehuda. Isai mempunyai delapan orang anak laki-laki, dan pada zaman pemerintahan Saul, Isai sudah tua sekali.
13 And the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Ketiga anak Isai yang tertua telah pergi berperang mengikuti Saul. Yang sulung bernama Eliab, yang kedua Abinadab, dan yang ketiga Syama.
14 And David was the youngest; and the three eldest had followed Saul.
Daud anak yang bungsu. Pada waktu ketiga abangnya yang tertua itu sedang berperang mengikuti Saul,
15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
Daud sering meninggalkan Saul dan pulang ke Betlehem untuk menggembalakan domba ayahnya.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Selama empat puluh hari, setiap pagi dan petang, Goliat mendekati barisan orang Israel dan menantang mereka.
17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take, I pray, for thy brethren, this ephah of parched [corn] and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren;
Pada suatu hari Isai berkata kepada Daud, "Ambillah sepuluh kilogram gandum panggang dengan sepuluh roti ini, dan bawalah kepada abang-abangmu di perkemahan tentara.
18 and carry these ten cheeses to the captain of the thousand, and visit thy brethren to see how they are, and take a pledge of them.
Bawalah juga sepuluh buah keju ini untuk komandan pasukan. Tanyakanlah bagaimana keadaan abang-abangmu, dan bawalah bukti untukku bahwa engkau telah bertemu dengan mereka dan mereka dalam keadaan selamat.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel [were] in the valley of terebinths, fighting against the Philistines.
Mereka ada di Lembah Ela bersama Raja Saul, dan semua orang Israel sedang bertempur melawan orang Filistin."
20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took his charge and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the wagon-defence; and the host which was going forth to the battle-array shouted for the fight.
Keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, Daud bangun lalu berkemas. Dombanya dititipkannya kepada seorang penjaga, kemudian ia mengambil bawaannya lalu berangkat, sesuai dengan perintah ayahnya. Ia sampai ke perkemahan pada waktu orang Israel berangkat ke medan pertempuran sambil memekikkan sorak perang.
21 And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, rank against rank.
Tentara Filistin dan tentara Israel saling berhadapan dan bersiap-siap untuk bertempur.
22 And David left the things he was carrying in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the ranks, and came and saluted his brethren.
Lalu Daud menitipkan bawaannya itu kepada penjaga perlengkapan tentara, dan lari ke medan perang untuk menemui abang-abangnya.
23 And as he talked with them, behold there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard [them].
Tetapi ketika ia sedang berbicara dengan mereka, Goliat maju ke depan dan menantang orang Israel, seperti yang biasa dilakukannya. Daud pun mendengar kata-kata tantangannya itu.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were greatly afraid.
Segera setelah orang Israel melihat Goliat, mereka lari ketakutan.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who smites him, him will the king enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
"Lihatlah dia!" kata mereka sesamanya. "Dengarlah kata-kata tantangannya! Saul raja kita telah berjanji bahwa siapa saja yang membunuh Goliat, akan diberikan hadiah yang besar. Raja juga akan mengawinkan orang itu dengan putrinya. Dan keluarga ayah orang itu akan dibebaskan dari pajak."
26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that smites this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
Lalu Daud berkata, "Berani benar orang Filistin si kafir itu menantang tentara Allah yang hidup!" Kemudian ia bertanya kepada salah seorang prajurit, "Apakah yang akan diberikan kepada orang yang bisa membunuh orang Filistin itu dan menghapus penghinaan dari Israel?"
27 And the people told him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that smites him.
Rakyat memberitahukan kepadanya apa yang telah dijanjikan raja.
28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
Eliab abang Daud yang sulung mendengar Daud berbicara dengan prajurit-prajurit. Dia menjadi marah kepada Daud dan berkata, "Mengapa kau datang kemari? Siapa telah kau suruh mengurus domba-dombamu yang beberapa ekor itu di padang gurun? Aku tahu, kau berlagak berani; kau datang kemari hanya untuk melihat pertempuran bukan?"
29 And David said, What have I now done? Was it not laid upon me?
Jawab Daud, "Apa salahku? Aku kan hanya bertanya!"
30 And he turned from him to another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him again after the former manner.
Lalu dia pergi dan menanyakan hal yang sama kepada prajurit-prajurit yang lain; dan ia mendapat jawaban begitu juga.
31 And the words were heard which David spoke, and they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
Tetapi beberapa orang yang mendengar perkataan Daud, menyampaikannya kepada Saul, jadi Daud dipanggilnya menghadap.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
Kata Daud kepada Saul, "Baginda, kita tak perlu takut kepada orang Filistin itu! Hamba bersedia melawan dia."
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
"Jangan," jawab Saul. "Bagaimana mungkin engkau bertanding dengan dia? Engkau masih muda sekali, sedangkan dia sudah biasa berperang sejak masa mudanya."
34 And David said to Saul, Thy servant fed his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock.
Tetapi Daud berkata, "Baginda, hamba biasa menggembalakan domba ayah hamba. Bilamana ada singa atau beruang datang menerkam domba,
35 And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I seized him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
binatang buas itu hamba kejar dan hantam, lalu domba itu hamba selamatkan. Dan jika singa atau beruang itu melawan hamba, maka hamba pegang lehernya, lalu hamba pukul sampai mati.
36 Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.
Hamba telah membunuh singa maupun beruang, dan orang Filistin si kafir itu juga akan sama seperti binatang-binatang itu, karena ia berani menghina tentara dari Allah yang hidup.
37 And David said, Jehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with thee.
TUHAN telah menyelamatkan hamba dari singa dan beruang, Dia juga akan menyelamatkan hamba dari orang Filistin itu." Lalu kata Saul kepadanya, "Baiklah, semoga TUHAN menolongmu."
38 And Saul clothed David with his dress, and put a helmet of bronze upon his head, and clothed him with a corselet.
Saul memberikan pakaian perangnya, yaitu sebuah baju besi kepada Daud dan Daud mengenakannya. Lalu Saul memakaikan topi tembaga pada kepala Daud.
39 And David girded his sword upon his dress, and endeavoured to go; for he had not yet tried [it]. And David said to Saul, I cannot go in these; for I have never tried [them]. And David put them off him.
Akhirnya Daud mengikatkan pedang Saul pada baju besi itu lalu mencoba berjalan, tetapi tidak bisa, karena Daud tidak biasa memakai pakaian perang. "Hamba tidak bisa berjalan dengan pakaian ini," katanya kepada Saul. "Hamba tidak biasa memakainya." Lalu seluruh pakaian perang itu ditanggalkannya.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag that he had, into the pocket; and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.
Kemudian ia mengambil tongkat gembalanya, dan memilih lima buah batu yang bulat dari sungai, lalu dimasukkannya ke dalam kantongnya. Dengan umban siap di tangannya, pergilah ia menemui Goliat.
41 And the Philistine came on and approached David; and the man that bore the shield was before him.
Beberapa saat kemudian Goliat yang didahului oleh pembawa perisainya, mulai berjalan mendekati Daud.
42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was a youth, and ruddy, and besides of a beautiful countenance.
Tetapi ketika ia melihat Daud dan memperhatikannya, Goliat tertawa mengejek karena Daud masih muda sekali dan tampan.
43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Kata Goliat kepada Daud, "Untuk apa tongkat itu? Apakah kauanggap aku ini anjing?" Lalu Daud dikutukinya demi para dewanya.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the fowls of the heavens and to the beasts of the field.
Lagipula ia menantang Daud, katanya, "Ayo, maju! akan kuberikan tubuhmu kepada burung dan binatang supaya dimakan."
45 And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin; but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
Tetapi Daud menjawab, "Engkau datang melawanku dengan pedang, tombak dan lembing, tetapi aku datang melawanmu dengan nama TUHAN Yang Mahakuasa, Allah tentara Israel yang kauhina itu.
46 This day will Jehovah deliver thee up into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth. And all the earth shall know that Israel has a God;
Hari ini juga TUHAN akan menyerahkan engkau kepadaku; engkau akan kukalahkan dan kepalamu akan kupenggal. Tubuhmu dan tubuh prajurit-prajurit Filistin akan kuberikan kepada burung dan binatang supaya dimakan. Maka seluruh dunia akan tahu bahwa kami bangsa Israel mempunyai Allah yang kami sembah,
47 and all this congregation shall know that Jehovah saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is Jehovah's, and he will give you into our hands.
dan semua orang di sini akan melihat bahwa TUHAN tidak memerlukan pedang atau tombak untuk menyelamatkan umat-Nya. Dialah yang menentukan jalan peperangan ini dan Dia akan menyerahkan kamu ke dalam tangan kami."
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and advanced to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the ranks to meet the Philistine.
Goliat mulai maju mendekati Daud, lalu dengan cepat Daud berlari ke arah barisan orang Filistin untuk menghadapi dia.
49 And David put his hand into the bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth.
Daud merogoh kantongnya, mengambil sebuah batu lalu diumbankannya kepada Goliat. Batu itu menghantam dahi Goliat sehingga pecahlah tengkoraknya, dan ia roboh dengan mukanya ke tanah.
50 So David overcame the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him; and there was no sword in the hand of David.
Daud berlari kepada Goliat, lalu berdiri di dekatnya; ia mengambil pedang Goliat dan mencabutnya dari sarungnya, lalu dipenggalnya kepala orang Filistin itu. Demikianlah Daud mengalahkan dan membunuh Goliat, hanya dengan umban dan batu! Ketika orang-orang Filistin melihat bahwa pahlawan mereka sudah mati, larilah mereka.
51 And David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him completely, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to the ravine and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down on the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
Orang-orang Israel dan Yehuda bersorak-sorak dan mengejar orang-orang Filistin sampai ke Gat dan pintu gerbang Ekron. Orang-orang Filistin yang terluka bergelimpangan sepanjang jalan ke Saaraim itu.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they pillaged their camps.
Setelah itu orang Israel kembali dari mengejar orang Filistin, lalu merampas isi perkemahan mereka.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
Daud mengambil kepala Goliat, dan dibawanya ke Yerusalem, tetapi senjata-senjata Goliat disimpannya di dalam kemahnya sendiri.
55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
Ketika Saul melihat Daud pergi melawan Goliat, bertanyalah ia kepada Abner penglima tentaranya, "Abner, anak siapakah dia?" "Hamba tidak tahu, Baginda," jawab Abner.
56 And the king said, Inquire thou whose son this youth is.
Lalu perintah Saul, "Pergilah dan tanyakanlah hal itu."
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Jadi ketika Daud kembali ke perkemahan sesudah membunuh Goliat, ia dibawa Abner menghadap Saul. Daud masih menjinjing kepala Goliat.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, young man? And David said, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
Lalu bertanyalah Saul kepadanya, "Hai anak muda! anak siapa engkau?" Daud menjawab, "Hamba ini anak Isai dari Betlehem."
