2 Samuel 1
1 Setelah Saul mati, dan ketika Daud kembali sesudah memukul kalah orang Amalek dan tinggal dua hari di Ziklag,
After the death of Saul, David returned from attacking the Amalekites and remained in Ziklag for two days.
2 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.
On the third day, a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. When he came to David he lay facedown on the ground and prostrated himself.
3 Bertanyalah Daud kepadanya: "Dari manakah engkau?" Jawabnya kepadanya: "Aku lolos dari tentara Israel."
David said to him, “Where did you come from?” He answered, “I escaped from the camp of Israel.”
4 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."
David said to him, “Please tell me how things went.” He answered, “The people fled from the battle. Many have fallen and many are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are also dead.”
5 Lalu Daud berkata kepada orang muda yang membawa kabar kepadanya itu: "Bagaimana kauketahui, bahwa Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya, sudah mati?"
David said to the young man, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
6 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.
The young man replied, “By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and there Saul was leaning on his spear, and chariots and riders were about to catch up with him.
7 Ketika menoleh ke belakang, ia melihat aku, lalu memanggil aku; dan aku berkata: Ya tuanku.
Saul turned around and saw me and called out to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'
8 Ia bertanya kepadaku: Siapakah engkau? Jawabku kepadanya: Aku seorang Amalek.
He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'
9 Lalu katanya kepadaku: Datanglah ke mari dan bunuhlah aku, sebab kekejangan telah menyerang aku, tetapi aku masih bernyawa.
He said to me, 'Please stand over me and kill me, for great suffering has taken hold of me, but life is still in me.'
10 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."
So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew that he would not live after he had fallen. Then I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and brought them here to you, my master.”
11 Lalu Daud memegang pakaiannya dan mengoyakkannya; dan semua orang yang bersama-sama dengan dia berbuat demikian juga.
Then David tore his clothes, and all the men with him did the same.
12 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.
They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, for Jonathan his son, for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Kemudian bertanyalah Daud kepada orang muda yang membawa kabar itu kepadanya: "Asalmu dari mana?" Jawabnya: "Aku ini anak perantau, orang Amalek."
David said to the young man, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner in the land, an Amalekite.”
14 Kemudian berkatalah Daud kepadanya: "Bagaimana? Tidakkah engkau segan mengangkat tanganmu memusnahkan orang yang diurapi TUHAN?"
David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to kill Yahweh's anointed king with your own hand?”
15 Lalu Daud memanggil salah seorang dari anak buahnya dan berkata: "Ke mari, paranglah dia." Orang itu memarangnya, sehingga mati.
David called one of the young men and said, “Go and kill him.” So that man went and struck him down, and the Amalekite died.
16 Dan Daud berkata kepadanya: "Kautanggung sendiri darahmu, sebab mulutmulah yang menjadi saksi menentang engkau, karena berkata: Aku telah membunuh orang yang diurapi TUHAN."
Then David said to the dead Amalekite, “Your blood is on your head because your own mouth has testified against you and said, 'I have killed Yahweh's anointed king.'”
17 Daud menyanyikan nyanyian ratapan ini karena Saul dan Yonatan, anaknya,
Then David sung this funeral song about Saul and Jonathan his son.
18 dan ia memberi perintah untuk mengajarkan nyanyian ini kepada bani Yehuda; itu ada tertulis dalam Kitab Orang Jujur.
He commanded the people to teach this Song of the Bow to the sons of Judah, which has been written in the Book of Jashar.
19 Kepermaianmu, hai Israel, mati terbunuh di bukit-bukitmu! Betapa gugur para pahlawan!
“Your glory, Israel, is dead, killed on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
20 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!
Do not tell it in Gath, do not proclaim it in the streets of Ashkelon, so that the daughters of the Philistines may not rejoice, so that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not celebrate.
21 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.
Mountains of Gilboa, let there not be dew or rain on you, nor fields giving grain for offerings, for there the shield of the mighty was defiled. The shield of Saul is no longer anointed with oil.
22 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.
From the blood of those who have been killed, from the bodies of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 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.
Saul and Jonathan were loved and gracious in life, and in their death they were not separated. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24 Hai anak-anak perempuan Israel, menangislah karena Saul, yang mendandani kamu dengan pakaian mewah dari kain kirmizi, yang menyematkan perhiasan emas pada pakaianmu.
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet as well as jewels, and who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
25 Betapa gugur para pahlawan di tengah-tengah pertempuran! Yonatan mati terbunuh di bukit-bukitmu.
How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is killed on your high places.
26 Merasa susah aku karena engkau, saudaraku Yonatan, engkau sangat ramah kepadaku; bagiku cintamu lebih ajaib dari pada cinta perempuan.
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You were very dear to me. Your love to me was wonderful, exceeding the love of women.
27 Betapa gugur para pahlawan dan musnah senjata-senjata perang!
How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”
