사무엘하 1

1사울의 죽은 후라 다윗이 아말렉 사람을 도륙하고 돌아와서 시글락에서 이틀을 유하더니 2제삼일에 한 사람이 사울의 진에서 나왔는데 그 옷은 찢어졌고 머리에는 흙이 있더라 저가 다윗에게 나아와 땅에 엎드려 절하매 3다윗이 저에게 묻되 너는 어디서 왔느냐 대답하되 이스라엘 진에서 도망하여 왔나이다 4다윗이 가로되 일이 어떻게 되었느뇨 너는 내게 고하라 저가 대답하되 군사가 전쟁 중에서 도망하기도 하였고 무리 중에 엎드러져 죽은 자도 많았고 사울과 그 아들 요나단도 죽었나이다 5다윗이 자기에게 고하는 소년에게 묻되 사울과 그 아들 요나단의 죽은 줄을 네가 어떻게 아느냐 6그에게 고하는 소년이 가로되 내가 우연히 길보아 산에 올라 보니 사울이 자기 창을 의지하였고 병거와 기병은 저를 촉급히 따르는데 7사울이 뒤로 돌이켜 나를 보고 부르시기로 내가 대답하되 내가 여기 있나이다 한즉 8내게 이르되 너는 누구냐 하시기로 내가 대답하되 나는 아말렉 사람이니이다 한즉 9또 내게 이르되 내 목숨이 아직 내게 완전히 있으므로 내가 고통에 들었나니 너는 내 곁에 서서 나를 죽이라 하시기로 10저가 엎드러진 후에는 살 수 없는 줄을 내가 알고 그 곁에 서서 죽이고 그 머리에 있는 면류관과 팔에 있는 고리를 벗겨서 내 주께로 가져왔나이다 11이에 다윗이 자기 옷을 잡아 찢으매 함께 있는 모든 사람도 그리하고 12사울과 그 아들 요나단과 여호와의 백성과 이스라엘 족속이 칼에 죽음을 인하여 저녁때까지 슬퍼하여 울며 금식하니라 13다윗이 그 고한 소년에게 묻되 너는 어디 사람이냐 대답하되 나는 아말렉 사람 곧 외국인의 아들이니이다 14다윗이 저에게 이르되 네가 어찌하여 손을 들어 여호와의 기름 부음 받은 자 죽이기를 두려워하지 아니하였느냐 하고 15소년 중 하나를 불러 이르되 가까이 가서 저를 죽이라 하매 그가 치매 곧 죽으니라 16다윗이 저에게 이르기를 네 피가 네 머리로 돌아갈지어다 네 입이 네게 대하여 증거하기를 내가 여호와의 기름 부음 받은 자를 죽였노라 함이니라 하였더라 17다윗이 이 슬픈 노래로 사울과 그 아들 요나단을 조상하고 18명하여 그것을 유다 족속에게 가르치라 하였으니 곧 활 노래라 야살의 책에 기록되었으되 19이스라엘아 너의 영광이 산 위에서 죽임을 당하였도다 오호라 두 용사가 엎드러졌도다 20이 일을 가드에도 고하지 말며 아스글론 거리에도 전파하지 말지어다 블레셋 사람의 딸들이 즐거워할까, 할례받지 못한 자의 딸들이 개가를 부를까 염려로다 21길보아 산들아 너희 위에 우로가 내리지 아니하며 제물 낼 밭도 없을지어다 거기서 두 용사의 방패가 버린바 됨이라 곧 사울의 방패가 기름 부음을 받지 않음 같이 됨이로다 22죽은 자의 피에서, 용사의 기름에서 요나단의 활이 물러가지 아니하였으며 사울의 칼이 헛되이 돌아오지 아니하였도다 23사울과 요나단이 생전에 사랑스럽고 아름다운 자러니 죽을 때에도 서로 떠나지 아니하였도다 저희는 독수리보다 빠르고 사자보다 강하였도다 24이스라엘 딸들아 사울을 슬퍼하여 울지어다 저가 붉은 옷으로 너희에게 화려하게 입혔고 금 노리개를 너희 옷에 채웠도다 25오호라 두 용사가 전쟁 중에 엎드러졌도다 요나단이 너의 산 위에서 죽임을 당하였도다 26내 형 요나단이여 내가 그대를 애통함은 그대는 내게 심히 아름다움이라 그대가 나를 사랑함이 기이하여 여인의 사랑보다 승하였도다 27오호라 두 용사가 엎드러졌으며 싸우는 병기가 망하였도다 하였더라

1After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag; 2on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn, and earth on his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and showed respect. 3David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.” 4David 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.” 5David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?” 6The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him. 7When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’ 8He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’ 9He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.’ 10So 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.” 11Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men who were with him. 12They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword. 13David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.” 14David said to him, “How were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy Yahweh’s anointed?” 15David called one of the young men, and said, “Go near, and fall on him.” He struck him, so that he died. 16David said to him, “Your blood be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain Yahweh’s anointed.’” 17David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son 18(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar): 19“Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen! 20Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 21You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, neither fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil. 22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty. 23Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions. 24You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet delicately, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing. 25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places. 26I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 27How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”

1Voorts geschiedde het na Sauls dood, als David van den slag der Amalekieten was wedergekomen, en David twee dagen te Ziklag gebleven was; 2Zo geschiedde het op den derden dag, dat, ziet, uit het heirleger van Saul, een man kwam, wiens klederen gescheurd waren, en aarde was op zijn hoofd; en het geschiedde, als hij tot David kwam, zo viel hij ter aarde en boog zich neder. 3En David zeide tot hem: Van waar komt gij? En hij zeide tot hem: Ik ben ontkomen uit het heirleger van Israel. 4Voorts zeide David tot hem: Wat is de zaak? Verhaal het mij toch. En hij zeide, dat het volk uit den strijd gevloden was, en dat er ook velen van het volk gevallen en gestorven waren, dat ook Saul en zijn zoon Jonathan dood waren. 5En David zeide tot den jongen, die hem de boodschap bracht: Hoe weet gij, dat Saul dood is, en zijn zoon Jonathan? 6Toen zeide de jongen, die hem de boodschap bracht: Ik kwam bij geval op het gebergte van Gilboa; en ziet, Saul leunde op zijn spies; en ziet, de wagens en ritmeesters hielden dicht op hem. 7Zo zag hij achter zich om, en zag mij, en hij riep mij, en ik zeide: Zie, hier ben ik. 8En hij zeide tot mij: Wie zijt gij? En ik zeide tot hem: Ik ben een Amalekiet. 9Toen zeide hij tot mij: Sta toch bij mij, en dood mij; want deze malienkolder heeft mij opgehouden; want mijn leven is nog gans in mij. 10Zo stond ik bij hem, en doodde hem; want ik wist, dat hij na zijn val niet leven zou; en ik nam de kroon, die op zijn hoofd was, en het armgesmijde, dat aan zijn arm was, en heb ze hier tot mijn heer gebracht. 11Toen vatte David zijn klederen en scheurde ze; desgelijks ook al de mannen, die met hem waren. 12En zij weeklaagden, en weenden, en vastten tot op den avond, over Saul en over Jonathan, zijn zoon, en over het volk des HEEREN, en over het huis Israels, omdat zij door het zwaard gevallen waren. 13Voorts zeide David tot den jongen, die hem de boodschap gebracht had: Van waar zijt gij? En hij zeide: Ik ben de zoon van een vreemden man, van een Amalekiet. 14En David zeide tot hem: Hoe, hebt gij niet gevreesd uw hand uit te strekken, om den gezalfde des HEEREN te verderven. 15En David riep een van de jongens, en zeide: Treed toe, val op hem aan. En hij sloeg hem, dat hij stierf. 16En David zeide tot hem: Uw bloed zij op uw hoofd; want uw mond heeft tegen u getuigd, zeggende: ik heb den gezalfde des HEEREN gedood. 17David nu klaagde deze klage over Saul en over Jonathan, zijn zoon; 18Als hij gezegd had, dat men den kinderen van Juda den boog zou leren; ziet, het is geschreven in het boek des Oprechten. 19O Sieraad van Israel, op uw hoogten is hij verslagen; hoe zijn de helden gevallen! 20Verkondigt het niet te Gath, boodschapt het niet op de straten van Askelon; opdat de dochters der Filistijnen zich niet verblijden, opdat de dochters der onbesnedenen niet opspringen van vreugde. 21Gij, bergen van Gilboa, noch dauw noch regen moet zijn op u, noch velden der hefofferen; want aldaar is der helden schild smadelijk weggeworpen, het schild van Saul, alsof hij niet gezalfd ware geweest met olie. 22Van het bloed der verslagenen, van het vette der helden, werd Jonathans boog niet achterwaarts gedreven; en Sauls zwaard keerde niet ledig weder. 23Saul en Jonathan, die beminden, en die liefelijken in hun leven, zijn ook in hun dood niet gescheiden; zij waren lichter dan arenden, zij waren sterker dan leeuwen. 24Gij, dochteren Israels, weent over Saul; die u kleedde met scharlaken, met weelde; die u sieraad van goud deed dragen over uw kleding. 25Hoe zijn de helden gevallen in het midden van den strijd! Jonathan is verslagen op uw hoogten! 26Ik ben benauwd om uwentwil, mijn broeder Jonathan! Gij waart mij zeer liefelijk; uw liefde was mij wonderlijker dan liefde der vrouwen. 27Hoe zijn de helden gevallen, en de krijgswapenen verloren!
