2 Samuel 1

1 Setelah Saul wafat, Daud kembali dari pertempuran mengalahkan orang Amalek, lalu tinggal di Ziklag selama dua hari.

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

2 Keesokan harinya, datanglah seorang pemuda dari perkemahan Saul. Sebagai tanda berkabung ia telah mengoyak pakaiannya dan menaruh tanah di atas kepalanya. Ia pergi kepada Daud dan sujud di hadapannya.

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.

3 Daud bertanya kepadanya, "Dari mana engkau?" Jawabnya, "Hamba lolos dari perkemahan orang Israel."

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

4 Tanya Daud, "Ceritakanlah apa yang telah terjadi!" Jawab pemuda itu, "Tentara kami melarikan diri dari pertempuran, dan banyak yang gugur, termasuk Saul dan Yonatan."

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."

5 "Bagaimana kau tahu?" tanya Daud kepadanya.

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

6 Jawabnya, "Kebetulan sekali hamba ada di Gunung Gilboa, lalu melihat Saul bersandar pada tombaknya, sedangkan kereta-kereta dan tentara berkuda musuh, sudah mendekat hendak mengepungnya.

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.

7 Saul menoleh ke belakang, dan melihat hamba, lalu hamba dipanggilnya, dan hamba menjawab, 'Ya, Tuanku.'

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

8 Ia bertanya siapa hamba, dan hamba memberitahukan kepadanya bahwa hamba ini orang Amalek.

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

9 Lalu katanya kepada hamba, 'Ke marilah, dan bunuhlah aku! Aku luka parah, dan hampir mati.'

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.'

10 Maka hamba dekati dia, dan hamba bunuh, sebab hamba tahu bahwa jika ia jatuh karena tak kuat lagi berdiri, pasti ia akan mati juga. Lalu hamba ambil mahkota dari kepalanya dan gelang dari lengannya, dan hamba bawa ke mari kepada Tuanku."

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."

11 Mendengar itu Daud menyobek pakaiannya karena sedih, dan semua anak buahnya berbuat demikian juga.

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

12 Mereka meratap dan berkabung serta berpuasa sampai malam untuk Saul dan Yonatan, dan untuk rakyat Israel, umat TUHAN, sebab banyak sekali yang telah gugur dalam pertempuran itu.

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.

13 Kemudian Daud bertanya kepada pemuda yang membawa kabar itu, "Dari mana asalmu?" Jawabnya, "Hamba ini orang Amalek, seorang perantau di negeri Tuanku."

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."

14 Daud berkata, "Berani sekali engkau membunuh raja pilihan TUHAN!"

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

15 Lalu ia memanggil salah seorang dari anak buahnya dan memerintahkan, "Bunuhlah dia!" Orang itu membacok pemuda Amalek itu sampai mati.

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

16 Kata Daud kepada pemuda Amalek itu, "Engkau sendiri yang menjatuhkan hukuman mati ini atas dirimu dengan mengakui bahwa telah kaubunuh raja yang dipilih TUHAN!"

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.'"

17 Setelah itu Daud menyanyikan ratapan ini untuk Saul dan Yonatan,

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

18 dan memerintahkan supaya nyanyian ini diajarkan kepada suku Yehuda. (Nyanyian ini tertulis dalam Buku Yasar).

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

19 "Israel, di bukit-bukitmu, nun di sana gugurlah pahlawan, para putra negara, runtuhlah mereka sebagai bunga bangsa.

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

20 Semoga orang-orang Gat tak mendengar berita itu. Semoga lorong-lorong Askelon tak mendapat kabar tentang itu. Jangan sampai wanita Filistin bersorak-sorai jangan sampai perempuan kafir berpekik ramai.

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.

21 Hai bukit-bukit Gilboa, dengarlah seruanku: Jangan sampai embun dan hujan membasahimu! Biarlah kering dan tandus ladang dan padangmu. Sebab di sanalah terdampar perisai pemberani. Dan perisai Saul pun berkarat, tak diminyaki lagi.

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.

22 Panah Yonatan ampuh, mematikan. Pedang Saul tak mengenal kasihan membunuh musuh, membinasakan lawan.

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.

23 Saul dan Yonatan, begitu ramah dan dikasihi; senantiasa bersatu dalam hidup dan mati; mereka lebih cepat dari burung garuda, lebih kuat dari singa muda.

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.

24 Hai, wanita Israel, ratapilah Saul, sang raja! Yang mendandanimu dengan gaun merah yang mewah, dan menghiasmu dengan mas permata yang indah.

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

25 Telah gugur para pahlawan, jatuh di medan pertempuran dan di bukit-bukit lengang Yonatan terbujur, tegang.

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

26 Yonatan, hai saudaraku, hatiku pilu, sebab engkau sangat berharga bagiku. Kasihmu kepadaku amat mulia, malahan melebihi kasih wanita.

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.

27 Telah gugur para pahlawan bangsa. Tersia-sialah senjata mereka!"

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