¹Maka larilah Daud dari Nayot dekat Rama dan pergi menemui Yonatan, lalu bertanya, "Apa salahku? Kejahatan apa yang telah kulakukan dan apa dosaku terhadap ayahmu sehingga ia mau membunuhku?"

¹David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”

²Jawab Yonatan, "Jangan berkata begitu! Demi TUHAN, engkau tidak akan dibunuh. Ayahku selalu memberitahukan segala rencananya kepadaku, baik yang penting, maupun yang tidak. Jadi tidak mungkin beliau merahasiakan maksudnya itu terhadap aku. Sebab itu, apa yang kaukatakan itu tidak benar!"

²He said to him, “Far from it; you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.”

³Daud menjawab, "Ayahmu tahu benar bahwa engkau sayang kepadaku. Jadi pastilah ia tidak mau memberitahukan hal itu kepadamu supaya engkau jangan sedih. Bagaimanapun juga, demi TUHAN yang hidup, sesungguhnyalah hidupku bagaikan telur di ujung tanduk!"

³David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved:’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”

⁴Lalu berkatalah Yonatan, "Apa saja yang kauminta akan kulakukan."

⁴Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”

⁵Daud menjawab, "Begini, besok adalah Pesta Bulan Baru, dan seharusnya aku makan bersama-sama dengan baginda. Tetapi jika engkau setuju, aku akan pergi dan bersembunyi di padang sampai lusa malam.

⁵David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.

⁶Jika ayahmu menanyakan mengapa aku tidak hadir, katakanlah kepada beliau, bahwa aku telah memohon izin darimu untuk segera pulang ke Betlehem, karena di sana diadakan upacara kurban tahunan bagi seluruh keluargaku.

⁶If your father miss me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’

⁷Jika raja berkata, 'Baiklah,' maka aku akan aman, tetapi jika beliau marah, ketahuilah bahwa beliau sudah mengambil keputusan untuk mencelakakan aku.

⁷If he says, ‘It is well;’ your servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, then know that evil is determined by him.

⁸Aku minta pertolonganmu, karena kita telah mengikat perjanjian di hadapan TUHAN. Namun jika aku bersalah, bunuhlah aku, tetapi janganlah kauserahkan aku kepada ayahmu."

⁸Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you: but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?”

⁹Jawab Yonatan, "Jangan khawatir! Jika aku tahu dengan pasti bahwa ayahku telah bertekad untuk mencelakakanmu, tentulah akan kuberitahukan kepadamu."

⁹Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”

¹⁰Kemudian Daud bertanya, "Siapakah yang akan memberitahukan kepadaku seandainya ayahmu menjawabmu dengan geram?"

¹⁰Then David said to Jonathan, “Who shall tell me if perchance your father answers you roughly?”

¹¹"Marilah kita pergi ke padang," kata Yonatan. Maka pergilah mereka bersama-sama ke padang.

¹¹Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” They both went out into the field.

¹²Lalu Yonatan berkata kepada Daud, "Semoga TUHAN, Allah Israel menjadi saksi kita! Besok pagi atau lusa kira-kira pada waktu seperti sekarang ini, aku akan berusaha mengetahui isi hati ayahku. Jika ia bersikap baik terhadapmu, aku akan mengirim kabar kepadamu.

¹²Jonathan said to David, “By Yahweh, the God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you?

¹³Jika ia berniat mencelakakanmu, pasti akan kuberitahukan kepadamu juga supaya engkau dapat menyelamatkan dirimu. Semoga TUHAN membunuhku kalau hal itu tidak kulakukan. Mudah-mudahan TUHAN menolongmu seperti dia telah ditolongnya juga!

¹³Yahweh do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father.

¹⁴Dan jika aku masih hidup, ingatlah perjanjian kita di hadapan TUHAN dan setialah kepadaku; tetapi jika aku sudah tiada,

¹⁴You shall not only while yet I live show me the loving kindness of Yahweh, that I not die;

¹⁵tunjukkanlah kesetiaanmu kepada keturunanku untuk selama-lamanya. Dan apabila TUHAN membinasakan semua musuhmu,

¹⁵but also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when Yahweh has cut off the enemies of David everyone from the surface of the earth.”

¹⁶janganlah perjanjian antara kita berdua terputus. Jika sampai terputus, Tuhanlah yang akan menghukummu."

¹⁶So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “Yahweh will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.”

¹⁷Jadi untuk kedua kalinya Yonatan menyuruh Daud berjanji akan mengasihi dia, sebab ia mengasihi Daud seperti dirinya sendiri.

¹⁷Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

¹⁸Kemudian berkatalah Yonatan kepadanya, "Besok Pesta Bulan Baru. Pasti akan ketahuan bahwa engkau tidak hadir, sebab tempatmu kosong pada meja makan;

¹⁸Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

¹⁹apalagi lusa! Sebab itu, pergilah ke tempat persembunyianmu yang dahulu itu, dan tunggulah di belakang timbunan batu di situ.

¹⁹When you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.

²⁰Lusa aku akan melepaskan tiga anak panah ke arah batu itu, seakan-akan membidik sasaran.

²⁰I will shoot three arrows on its side, as though I shot at a mark.

²¹Lalu akan kusuruh budakku memungut panah-panah itu, dan jika aku berkata kepadanya, 'Ai, panah itu lebih dekat lagi ke mari; ambillah,' itu berarti bahwa engkau aman dan boleh keluar. Aku bersumpah demi TUHAN yang hidup bahwa engkau tidak dalam bahaya apa pun.

²¹Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come; for there is peace to you and no hurt, as Yahweh lives.

²²Tetapi jika aku berkata kepada budakku, 'Ai, panah itu lebih jauh lagi ke sana,' itu berarti TUHAN menyuruh engkau pergi; jadi pergilah.

²²But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you;’ then go your way; for Yahweh has sent you away.

²³Semoga TUHAN menjaga agar kita selamanya memegang perjanjian antara kita berdua."

²³Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”

²⁴Maka bersembunyilah Daud di padang. Pada Pesta Bulan Baru, Raja Saul datang ke perjamuan.

²⁴So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, the king sat him down to eat food.

²⁵Seperti biasanya dia duduk dekat dinding; Yonatan mengambil tempat di hadapannya, Abner di sebelah Saul, tetapi kursi Daud tetap kosong.

²⁵The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but David’s place was empty.

²⁶Tetapi Saul tidak menyinggung keadaan itu pada hari itu, sebab pikirnya, "Barangkali ia mengalami sesuatu hal, sehingga ia tidak bersih menurut agama."

²⁶Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day: for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”

²⁷Pada hari berikutnya, yaitu hari kedua Bulan Baru, kursi Daud masih kosong juga, lalu bertanyalah Saul kepada Yonatan, "Mengapa kemarin dan hari ini Daud tidak hadir pada perjamuan?"

²⁷It happened on the next day after the new moon, the second day, that David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why doesn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, neither yesterday, nor today?”

²⁸Yonatan menjawab, "Ia telah minta izin kepadaku untuk pergi ke Betlehem.

²⁸Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.

²⁹Katanya, 'Izinkanlah aku pergi, karena keluargaku sedang merayakan pesta kurban di Betlehem, dan aku disuruh datang oleh abangku. Sebab itu, jika kauizinkan, biar aku pergi untuk bertemu dengan sanak saudaraku.' Itulah sebabnya ia tidak hadir pada perjamuan ini, Ayah."

²⁹He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”

³⁰Mendengar itu Saul menjadi marah sekali kepada Yonatan dan berkata kepadanya, "Anak haram jadah! Sekarang aku tahu bahwa engkau memihak kepada Daud dan membuat malu dirimu serta ibumu!

³⁰Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?

³¹Tidak sadarkah engkau bahwa selama Daud hidup engkau tidak akan mungkin menjadi raja atas negeri ini? Sekarang suruhlah orang mencari dia dan membawanya kemari, sebab dia harus mati!"

³¹For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”

³²Maka jawab Yonatan, "Mengapa ia harus mati? Dosanya apa?"

³²Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”

³³Mendengar itu Saul melemparkan tombaknya kepada Yonatan hendak membunuhnya. Maka tahulah Yonatan bahwa ayahnya memang sungguh-sungguh berniat hendak membunuh Daud.

³³Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

³⁴Dengan marah sekali Yonatan meninggalkan meja perjamuan dan ia tidak makan apa-apa pada hari kedua Pesta Bulan Baru itu. Ia sangat prihatin memikirkan Daud yang telah dihina oleh Saul ayahnya.

³⁴So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

³⁵Keesokan harinya Yonatan pergi ke padang untuk bertemu dengan Daud seperti yang telah mereka rencanakan bersama. Ia membawa seorang anak laki-laki, budaknya,

³⁵It happened in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.

³⁶lalu berkata kepadanya, "Ayo, pungutlah panah-panah yang akan kupanahkan." Sedang anak itu berlari, Yonatan memanahkan sebuah panah melewati anak itu.

³⁶He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

³⁷Ketika anak itu sampai ke tempat jatuhnya panah itu, Yonatan berseru kepadanya, "Ai, panah itu lebih jauh lagi ke sana!

³⁷When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”

³⁸Cepat sedikit, jangan melamun!" Anak itu memungut panah itu dan kembali kepada tuannya.

³⁸Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

³⁹Ia sama sekali tidak mengerti maksud kata-kata Yonatan itu, hanya Yonatan dengan Daudlah yang mengerti.

³⁹But the boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

⁴⁰Kemudian Yonatan memberikan alat pemanahnya kepada anak itu dan menyuruh dia kembali ke kota.

⁴⁰Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry them to the city.”

⁴¹Setelah anak itu pergi, Daud keluar dari belakang timbunan batu itu, lalu sujud tiga kali. Baik dia maupun Yonatan, kedua-duanya menangis ketika mereka saling berciuman. Kesedihan Daud lebih besar daripada kesedihan Yonatan.

⁴¹As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another, and wept one with another, and David wept the most.

⁴²Kemudian berkatalah Yonatan kepada Daud, "Semoga Allah menolongmu. TUHAN akan menjamin bahwa kita dan keturunan kita selalu memegang perjanjian kita berdua di hadapan Allah." Setelah itu pergilah Daud, dan Yonatan pun pulang ke kota.

⁴²Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in the name of Yahweh, saying, ‘Yahweh shall be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
