2 Samuel 1

1 It happened after the death of Saul, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and he stayed two days in Ziklag.

Setelah Saul mati, dan ketika Daud kembali sesudah memukul kalah orang Amalek dan tinggal dua hari di Ziklag,

2 It happened on the third day, that, look, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. And it came about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and paid homage.

maka datanglah pada hari ketiga seorang dari tentara, dari pihak Saul, dengan pakaian terkoyak-koyak dan tanah di atas kepala. Ketika ia sampai kepada Daud, sujudlah ia ke tanah dan menyembah.

3 David said to him, "Where do you come from?" He said to him, "I have escaped out of the camp of Israel."

Bertanyalah Daud kepadanya: "Dari manakah engkau?" Jawabnya kepadanya: "Aku lolos dari tentara Israel."

4 David said to him, "How did it go? Please tell me." He answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."

Bertanyalah pula Daud kepadanya: "Apakah yang terjadi? Coba ceriterakan kepadaku." Jawabnya: "Rakyat telah melarikan diri dari pertempuran; bukan saja banyak dari rakyat yang gugur dan mati, tetapi Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, juga sudah mati."

5 David said to the young man who had told him this, "How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?"

Lalu Daud berkata kepada orang muda yang membawa kabar kepadanya itu: "Bagaimana kauketahui, bahwa Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, sudah mati?"

6 The young man who told him said, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and saw Saul leaning on his spear. And look, the chariots and the horsemen were closing in on him.

Orang muda yang membawa kabar kepadanya itu berkata: "Kebetulan aku ada di pegunungan Gilboa; maka tampaklah Saul bertelekan pada tombaknya, sedang kereta-kereta dan orang-orang berkuda mengejarnya.

7 When he turned around he saw me, and called to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'

Ketika menoleh ke belakang, ia melihat aku, lalu memanggil aku; dan aku berkata: Ya tuanku.

8 He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'

Ia bertanya kepadaku: Siapakah engkau? Jawabku kepadanya: Aku seorang Amalek.

9 He said to me, 'Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, yet there is life in me still.'

Lalu katanya kepadaku: Datanglah ke mari dan bunuhlah aku, sebab kekejangan telah menyerang aku, tetapi aku masih bernyawa.

10 So I stood beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen. 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."

Aku datang ke dekatnya dan membunuh dia, sebab aku tahu, ia tidak dapat hidup terus setelah jatuh. Aku mengambil jejamang yang ada di kepalanya, dan gelang yang ada pada lengannya, dan inilah dia kubawa kepada tuanku."

11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men who were with him.

Lalu Daud memegang pakaiannya dan mengoyakkannya; dan semua orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia berbuat demikian juga.

12 They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.

Dan mereka meratap, menangis dan berpuasa sampai matahari terbenam karena Saul, karena Yonatan, anaknya, karena umat TUHAN dan karena kaum Israel, sebab mereka telah gugur oleh pedang.

13 David said to the young man who had told him, "Where are you from?" He answered, "I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite."

Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepada orang muda yang membawa kabar itu kepadanya: "Asalmu dari mana?" Jawabnya: "Aku ini anak perantau, orang Amalek."

14 David said to him, "How is it that you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"

Kemudian berkatalah Daud kepadanya: "Bagaimana? Tidakkah engkau segan mengangkat tanganmu memusnahkan orang yang diurapi TUHAN?"

15 David called one of the young men, and said, "Go near, and fall on him." He struck him, so that he died.

Lalu Daud memanggil salah seorang dari anak buahnya dan berkata: "Ke mari, paranglah dia." Orang itu memarangnya, sehingga mati.

16 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.'"

Dan Daud berkata kepadanya: "Kautanggung sendiri darahmu, sebab mulutmulah yang menjadi saksi menentang engkau, karena berkata: Aku telah membunuh orang yang diurapi TUHAN."

17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,

Daud menyanyikan nyanyian ratapan ini karena Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya,

18 and said it should be taught to the people of Judah. Look, it is written in the book of Jashar.

dan ia memberi perintah untuk mengajarkan nyanyian ini kepada bani Yehuda; itu ada tertulis dalam Kitab Orang Jujur.

19 "Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places. How the mighty have fallen.

Kepermaianmu, hai Israel, mati terbunuh di bukit-bukitmu! Betapa gugur para pahlawan!

20 Do not tell it in Gath. Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

Janganlah kabarkan itu di Gat, janganlah beritakan itu di lorong-lorong Askelon, supaya jangan bersukacita anak-anak perempuan orang Filistin, supaya jangan beria-ria anak-anak perempuan orang-orang yang tidak bersunat!

21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, nor fields of offerings. For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away. The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.

Hai gunung-gunung di Gilboa! jangan ada embun, jangan ada hujan di atas kamu, hai padang-padang pembawa kematian! Sebab di sanalah perisai para pahlawan dilumuri, perisai Saul yang tidak diurapi dengan minyak.

22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan's bow did not turn back. Saul's sword did not return empty.

Tanpa darah orang-orang yang mati terbunuh dan tanpa lemak para pahlawan panah Yonatan tidak pernah berpaling pulang, dan pedang Saul tidak kembali dengan hampa.

23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely, not separated. Lovely in their life, and in their death they were not separated. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

Saul dan Yonatan, orang-orang yang dicintai dan yang ramah, dalam hidup dan matinya tidak terpisah. Mereka lebih cepat dari burung rajawali, mereka lebih kuat dari singa.

24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you luxuriously in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.

Hai anak-anak perempuan Israel, menangislah karena Saul, yang mendandani kamu dengan pakaian mewah dari kain kirmizi, yang menyematkan perhiasan emas pada pakaianmu.

25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle. Jonathan is slain on your high places.

Betapa gugur para pahlawan di tengah-tengah pertempuran! Yonatan mati terbunuh di bukit-bukitmu.

26 I grieve for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love for me was a wonder, more than the love of women.

Merasa susah aku karena engkau, saudaraku Yonatan, engkau sangat ramah kepadaku; bagiku cintamu lebih ajaib dari pada cinta perempuan.

27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished."

Betapa gugur para pahlawan dan musnah senjata-senjata perang!
