2 Samuel 5

1 Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.

Kemudian para pemuka dari setiap suku Israel datang kepada Daud di Hebron dan berkata, “Sesungguhnya kami semua adalah bangsamu sendiri.

2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”

Dulu, ketika Saul menjabat sebagai raja atas kita, Tuanlah yang memimpin Israel dalam peperangan. TUHAN juga sudah berkata kepadamu, ‘Kamu akan menggembalakan umat-Ku Israel dan menjadi raja atas mereka.’”

3 So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.

Maka di Hebron Daud membuat kesepakatan dengan mereka di hadapan TUHAN, dan mereka mengurapi Daud sebagai raja atas Israel.

4 David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.

Umur Daud ketika menjabat sebagai raja atas suku Yehuda adalah tiga puluh tahun. Pada waktu itu pusat pemerintahan kerajaan Yehuda berada di Hebron. Di sana Daud memerintah tujuh setengah tahun lamanya. Lalu di Yerusalem dia memerintah atas seluruh Israel dan Yehuda selama tiga puluh tiga tahun. Jadi, Daud memerintah sebagai raja selama empat puluh tahun.

5 In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.

6 [One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”

Sesudah dilantik sebagai raja, Daud memimpin pasukannya untuk menyerang Yerusalem karena sisa orang Yebus masih menguasai kota itu. Orang-orang Yebus berkata kepada Daud, “Engkau tidak akan bisa masuk ke sini! Bahkan orang buta dan orang lumpuh di kota ini pun bisa mengusirmu keluar.” Mereka berkata demikian karena berpikir, “Daud dan pasukannya tidak akan bisa menerobos benteng kota.”

7 But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.

Padahal, kelak Daud berhasil menguasai kota yang berbenteng itu, yang juga disebut benteng Sion. Di kemudian hari tempat itu dikenal dengan nama Kota Daud.

8 On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”

Waktu Daud mendengar hinaan orang Yebus itu, dia berkata kepada pasukannya, “Ayo! Kota ini dibela oleh orang ‘lumpuh’ dan ‘buta,’ dan saya membenci mereka! Siapa yang siap menyerbu mereka, masuklah melalui saluran air.” (Inilah asal mula peribahasa, “Orang buta dan orang lumpuh tidak boleh masuk ke istana.”)

9 [After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].

Setelah pasukan Israel berhasil mengalahkan orang-orang Yebus, Daud menjadikan Yerusalem sebagai ibukotanya dan menamainya Kota Daud. Dia memperluas dan memperkuat kota di sekeliling benteng itu, mulai dari bagian terluar dan terus ke dalam.

10 David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.

Daud menjadi semakin berkuasa karena TUHAN, Allah Panglima Semesta, menyertai dia.

11 [One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.

Suatu hari, Raja Hiram dari Tirus mengirim beberapa utusan kepada Daud. Mereka membuat persetujuan sehingga Hiram mengirim kayu aras serta para tukang kayu dan tukang batu untuk membangun sebuah istana bagi Daud.

12 His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.

Memikirkan semua hal itu, Daud menyadari bahwa TUHANlah yang sudah meneguhkan dia sebagai raja atas Israel, dan alasan TUHAN melakukan itu adalah untuk memberkati umat-Nya, bangsa Israel.

13 After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.

Sesudah Daud pindah dari Hebron ke Yerusalem, dia menikahi lagi beberapa perempuan di sana sebagai selir dan gundik. Mereka melahirkan lebih banyak anak laki-laki dan perempuan bagi Daud.

14 The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

Inilah nama anak-anak Daud yang lahir di Yerusalem: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,

15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

Yibar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,

16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.

Elisama, Eliada, dan Elifelet.

17 When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.

Pada waktu bangsa Filistin mendengar bahwa Daud sudah diurapi dan diangkat menjadi raja atas Israel, mereka mengumpulkan seluruh pasukan untuk menyerang Daud. Akan tetapi, Daud mendengar hal itu lalu turun bersama pasukannya ke tempat perlindungan di daerah perbukitan.

18 The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.

Sementara itu, pasukan Filistin tiba dan perkemahan mereka tersebar di lembah Refaim.

19 David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”

Lalu bertanyalah Daud kepada TUHAN, “Apakah Engkau menghendaki aku maju sekarang untuk menyerang orang Filistin itu? Apakah Engkau akan memberiku kemenangan atas mereka?” Jawab TUHAN, “Majulah, karena Aku akan memberimu kemenangan atas mereka.”

20 So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.

Maka Daud menyerang dan mengalahkan mereka di Baal Perasim. Lalu Daud berkata, “TUHAN sudah menerobos musuhku seperti air banjir menerobos keluar dari bendungan.” Itulah sebabnya dia menamai tempat itu Baal Perasim, yang berarti ‘TUHAN yang menerobos.’

21 The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.

Orang Filistin meninggalkan patung-patung dewa mereka di situ. Daud serta pasukannya membawa semua itu sebagai harta jarahan.

22 Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.

Setelah beberapa waktu, pasukan Filistin kembali lagi dan menyebar di lembah Refaim.

23 So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.

Maka Daud meminta petunjuk dari TUHAN. Kali ini TUHAN menjawab, “Jangan langsung maju berhadapan dengan mereka. Pergilah memutar agar kamu dan pasukanmu dapat menyerang mereka dari kumpulan pohon balsam itu.

24 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”

Ketika kamu mendengar suara seperti derap langkah pasukan berjalan di atas pohon-pohon itu, bertindaklah!— karena pada saat itu Aku sudah maju di depanmu dan mengalahkan pasukan Filistin.”

25 So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].

Daud melakukan apa yang TUHAN perintahkan kepadanya, dan dia membantai orang Filistin mulai dari Gibeon sampai ke Gezer.
