2 Samuel 5
1 Setelah itu datanglah semua pemimpin suku-suku Israel kepada Daud di Hebron dan berkata kepadanya, "Kami ini kerabat Baginda.
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Sejak dahulu, bahkan ketika Saul masih memerintah kami, Baginda juga yang memimpin tentara Israel setiap kali mereka maju berperang, lagipula TUHAN telah berjanji kepada Baginda bahwa Bagindalah yang akan memimpin umat-Nya dan menjadi raja mereka."
In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler over Israel.'"
3 Daud membuat perjanjian dengan pemimpin-pemimpin Israel itu di Hebron, lalu mereka melantik dia menjadi raja Israel.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 Daud berumur tiga puluh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja, dan ia memerintah empat puluh tahun lamanya.
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 Di Hebron ia memerintah Yehuda selama tujuh setengah tahun, dan di Yerusalem ia memerintah seluruh Israel dan Yehuda selama tiga puluh tiga tahun.
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
6 Pada suatu hari Raja Daud dan anak buahnya berangkat hendak menyerang Yerusalem. Orang Yebus penduduk kota itu, mengira bahwa Daud tidak akan dapat mengalahkan Yerusalem. Sebab itu mereka berkata kepadanya, "Engkau tidak akan dapat masuk ke mari; orang-orang buta dan orang-orang pincang pun sanggup mengusirmu."
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, "You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will repel you"; thinking, "David can't come in here."
7 Daud berkata kepada anak buahnya, "Adakah di sini orang yang membenci orang Yebus sama seperti aku membenci mereka? Cukup bencikah dia sehingga ingin sekali membunuh mereka? Kalau begitu, masuklah melalui terowongan air dan seranglah orang-orang pincang dan buta yang kubenci itu." (Itulah sebabnya orang berkata, "Orang buta dan orang pincang tidak boleh masuk Rumah TUHAN.") Daud berhasil merebut benteng Sion dan mendudukinya. Ia menamakannya "Kota Daud". Kota itu dibangunnya di sekeliling benteng itu, mulai dari sebelah timur bukit yang ditinggikan dengan tanah.
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.
David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."
David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.
10 Daud makin lama makin kuat, karena TUHAN, Allah Yang Mahakuasa menolongnya.
David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.
11 Raja Hiram dari negeri Tirus mengirim duta-dutanya kepada Daud, juga kayu cemara Libanon dan tukang-tukang kayu serta tukang-tukang batu untuk mendirikan istana.
Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.
12 Karena itu Daud merasa yakin bahwa TUHAN telah mengukuhkan dia sebagai raja Israel, dan menguatkan kerajaannya untuk kepentingan umat TUHAN.
And David knew that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
13 Sesudah Daud pindah dari Hebron ke Yerusalem, ia memperistri lagi beberapa wanita dan mengambil beberapa wanita pula untuk selirnya; maka bertambahlah putra-putrinya.
David took more secondary wives and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were born to David more sons and daughters.
14 Putra-putranya yang dilahirkan di Yerusalem adalah: Syamua, Sobab, Natan, Salomo,
These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Yibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Yafia,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
16 Elisama, Elyada dan Elifelet.
and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Ketika orang Filistin mendengar bahwa Daud telah dijadikan raja Israel, mereka datang hendak menangkap dia. Tetapi Daud mendengar hal itu, lalu pergi ke benteng.
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.
18 Orang Filistin sampai di Lembah Refaim dan mendudukinya.
Now the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
19 Daud bertanya kepada TUHAN, "Haruskah aku menyerang orang Filistin itu? Apakah Engkau akan memberikan kemenangan kepadaku?" "Seranglah!" jawab TUHAN. "Aku akan memberikan kemenangan kepadamu!"
David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" The LORD said to David, "Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand."
20 Kemudian pergilah Daud ke Baal-Perasim dan di situ pasukan Filistin itu dikalahkannya. Lalu ia berkata, "TUHAN telah mendobrak pertahanan musuhku, seperti banjir merobohkan segalanya dalam seketika." Sebab itu tempat itu disebut Baal-Perasim.
David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of waters." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
21 Pasukan Filistin lari tanpa sempat membawa patung-patung berhala mereka. Patung-patung itu diambil oleh Daud dan anak buahnya.
And they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.
22 Tidak lama kemudian orang Filistin datang lagi menduduki Lembah Refaim.
The Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
23 Sekali lagi Daud meminta petunjuk kepada TUHAN. Jawab TUHAN, "Jangan menyerang mereka dari sini, tetapi berjalanlah memutar dan seranglah mereka dari belakang, dekat pohon-pohon murbei.
And David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar trees.
24 Bilamana kaudengar bunyi seperti derap orang berbaris di puncak pohon-pohon itu, maka majulah, sebab Aku akan berjalan di depanmu untuk mengalahkan tentara Filistin."
And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
25 Daud melaksanakan apa yang diperintahkan TUHAN, dan ia berhasil memukul mundur orang Filistin dari Geba sampai ke Gezer.
David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Geba as far as the approach to Gezer.
