1 Samuel 18

¹Ketika Daud habis berbicara dengan Saul, berpadulah jiwa Yonatan dengan jiwa Daud; dan Yonatan mengasihi dia seperti jiwanya sendiri.

¹As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

²Pada hari itu Saul membawa dia dan tidak membiarkannya pulang ke rumah ayahnya.

²And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father's house.

³Yonatan mengikat perjanjian dengan Daud, karena ia mengasihi dia seperti dirinya sendiri.

³Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.

⁴Yonatan menanggalkan jubah yang dipakainya, dan memberikannya kepada Daud, juga baju perangnya, sampai pedangnya, panahnya dan ikat pinggangnya.

⁴And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.

⁵Daud maju berperang dan selalu berhasil ke mana juga Saul menyuruhnya, sehingga Saul mengangkat dia mengepalai para prajurit. Hal ini dipandang baik oleh seluruh rakyat dan juga oleh pegawai-pegawai Saul.

⁵And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him, so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

⁶Tetapi pada waktu mereka pulang, ketika Daud kembali sesudah mengalahkan orang Filistin itu, keluarlah orang-orang perempuan dari segala kota Israel menyongsong raja Saul sambil menyanyi dan menari-nari dengan memukul rebana, dengan bersukaria dan dengan membunyikan gerincing;

⁶As they were coming home, when David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments.

⁷dan perempuan yang menari-nari itu menyanyi berbalas-balasan, katanya: "Saul mengalahkan beribu-ribu musuh, tetapi Daud berlaksa-laksa."

⁷And the women sang to one another as they celebrated, "Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands."

⁸Lalu bangkitlah amarah Saul dengan sangat; dan perkataan itu menyebalkan hatinya, sebab pikirnya: "Kepada Daud diperhitungkan mereka berlaksa-laksa, tetapi kepadaku diperhitungkannya beribu-ribu; akhir-akhirnya jabatan raja itupun jatuh kepadanya."

⁸And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands, and what more can he have but the kingdom?"

⁹Sejak hari itu maka Saul selalu mendengki Daud.

⁹And Saul eyed David from that day on.

¹⁰Keesokan harinya roh jahat yang dari pada Allah itu berkuasa atas Saul, sehingga ia kerasukan di tengah-tengah rumah, sedang Daud main kecapi seperti sehari-hari. Adapun Saul ada tombak di tangannya.

¹⁰The next day a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand.

¹¹Saul melemparkan tombak itu, karena pikirnya: "Baiklah aku menancapkan Daud ke dinding." Tetapi Daud mengelakkannya sampai dua kali.

¹¹And Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, "I will pin David to the wall." But David evaded him twice.

¹²Saul menjadi takut kepada Daud, karena TUHAN menyertai Daud, sedang dari pada Saul Ia telah undur.

¹²Saul was afraid of David because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul.

¹³Sebab itu Saul menjauhkan Daud dari dekatnya dan mengangkat dia menjadi kepala pasukan seribu, sehingga ia berada di depan dalam segala gerakan tentara.

¹³So Saul removed him from his presence and made him a commander of a thousand. And he went out and came in before the people.

¹⁴Daud berhasil di segala perjalanannya, sebab TUHAN menyertai dia.

¹⁴And David had success in all his undertakings, for the LORD was with him.

¹⁵Ketika dilihat Saul, bahwa Daud sangat berhasil, makin takutlah ia kepadanya;

¹⁵And when Saul saw that he had great success, he stood in fearful awe of him.

¹⁶tetapi seluruh orang Israel dan orang Yehuda mengasihi Daud, karena ia memimpin segala gerakan mereka.

¹⁶But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.

¹⁷Berkatalah Saul kepada Daud: "Ini dia anakku perempuan yang tertua, Merab; dia akan kuberikan kepadamu menjadi isterimu, hanya jadilah bagiku seorang yang gagah perkasa dan lakukanlah perang TUHAN." Sebab pikir Saul: "Janganlah tanganku memukul dia, tetapi biarlah ia dipukul oleh tangan orang Filistin."

¹⁷Then Saul said to David, "Here is my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you for a wife. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul thought, "Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

¹⁸Tetapi Daud berkata kepada Saul: "Siapakah aku dan siapakah sanak saudaraku, kaum ayahku, di antara orang Israel, sehingga aku menjadi menantu raja?"

¹⁸And David said to Saul, "Who am I, and who are my relatives, my father's clan in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"

¹⁹Tetapi ketika tiba waktunya untuk memberikan Merab, anak Saul itu, kepada Daud, maka anak perempuan itu diberikan kepada Adriel, orang Mehola, menjadi isterinya.

¹⁹But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.

²⁰Tetapi Mikhal, anak perempuan Saul, jatuh cinta kepada Daud; ketika hal itu diberitahukan kepada Saul, maka iapun menyetujuinya;

²⁰Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

²¹sebab pikir Saul: "Baiklah Mikhal kuberikan kepadanya; biarlah ia menjadi jerat bagi Daud, dan biarlah tangan orang Filistin memukul dia!" Lalu berkatalah Saul kepada Daud untuk kedua kalinya: "Pada hari ini engkau boleh menjadi menantuku."

²¹Saul thought, "Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall now be my son-in-law."

²²Lagi Saul memerintahkan kepada para pegawainya: "Katakanlah kepada Daud dengan diam-diam, demikian: Sesungguhnya, raja suka kepadamu dan para pegawainya mengasihi engkau; maka sebab itu, jadilah engkau menantu raja."

²²And Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David in private and say, 'Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now then become the king's son-in-law.'"

²³Lalu para pegawai Saul menyampaikan perkataan itu kepada Daud, tetapi Daud menjawab: "Perkara ringankah pada pemandanganmu menjadi menantu raja? Bukankah aku seorang yang miskin dan rendah?"

²³And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, "Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?"

²⁴Para pegawai Saul memberitahukan kepada raja, katanya: "Demikianlah jawab yang diberi Daud."

²⁴And the servants of Saul told him, "Thus and so did David speak."

²⁵Kemudian berkatalah Saul: "Beginilah kamu katakan kepada Daud: Raja tidak menghendaki mas kawin selain dari seratus kulit khatan orang Filistin sebagai pembalasan kepada musuh raja." Saul bermaksud untuk menjatuhkan Daud dengan perantaraan orang Filistin.

²⁵Then Saul said, "Thus shall you say to David, 'The king desires no bride-price except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

²⁶Ketika para pegawainya memberitahukan perkataan itu kepada Daud, maka setujulah Daud menjadi menantu raja. Waktunya belum genap,

²⁶And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before the time had expired,

²⁷tetapi Daud sudah bersiap, ia pergi dengan orang-orangnya dan menewaskan dari orang Filistin itu dua ratus orang serta membawa kulit khatan mereka; dan dalam jumlah yang genap diberikan merekalah semuanya itu kepada raja, supaya Daud menjadi menantu raja. Kemudian Saul memberikan Mikhal, anaknya, kepadanya menjadi isterinya.

²⁷David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.

²⁸Lalu mengertilah Saul dan tahulah ia, bahwa TUHAN menyertai Daud, dan bahwa seluruh orang Israel mengasihi Daud.

²⁸But when Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him,

²⁹Maka makin takutlah Saul kepada Daud. Saul tetap menjadi musuh Daud seumur hidupnya.

²⁹Saul was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.

³⁰Apabila raja-raja orang Filistin maju berperang, setiap kali mereka maju berperang, maka Daud lebih berhasil dari semua pegawai Saul, sehingga namanya sangat masyhur.

³⁰Then the princes of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
