< 2 Kings 9 >
1 And Elisha the prophet sent for one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Make yourself ready for a journey, and take this bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
Kemudian nabi Elisa memanggil salah seorang dari rombongan nabi dan berkata kepadanya: "Ikatlah pinggangmu, bawalah buli-buli berisi minyak ini dan pergilah ke Ramot-Gilead.
2 And when you get there, go in search of Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi; and go in and make him get up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
Apabila engkau sampai ke sana, carilah Yehu bin Yosafat bin Nimsi; masuklah, ajak dia bangkit dari tengah-tengah temannya dan bawalah dia ke ruang dalam.
3 Then take the bottle and put the oil on his head, and say, The Lord says, I have put the holy oil on you to make you king over Israel. Then, opening the door, go in flight, without waiting.
Kemudian ambillah buli-buli berisi minyak itu, lalu tuangkan isinya ke atas kepalanya dan katakan: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Telah Kuurapi engkau menjadi raja atas Israel! Sesudah itu bukalah pintu, larilah dan jangan berlambat-lambat."
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.
Lalu nabi muda itu pergi ke Ramot-Gilead.
5 And when he came, he saw the captains of the army seated together; and he said, I have something to say to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us? And he said, To you, O captain.
Setelah ia sampai, maka tampaklah panglima-panglima tentara sedang duduk berkumpul. Lalu ia berkata: "Ada pesan kubawa untukmu, ya panglima!" Yehu bertanya: "Untuk siapa dari kami sekalian?" Jawabnya: "Untukmu, ya panglima!"
6 And he got up and went into the house; then he put the holy oil on his head and said to him, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, I have made you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
Lalu bangkitlah Yehu dan masuk ke dalam rumah. Nabi muda itu menuang minyak ke atas kepala Yehu serta berkata kepadanya: "Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Telah Kuurapi engkau menjadi raja atas umat TUHAN, yaitu orang Israel.
7 You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.
Maka engkau akan membunuh keluarga tuanmu Ahab dan dengan demikian Aku membalaskan kepada Izebel darah hamba-hamba-Ku, nabi-nabi itu, bahkan darah semua hamba TUHAN.
8 For the family of Ahab will come to an end; every male of Ahab's family will be cut off, he who is shut up and he who goes free in Israel.
Dan segenap keluarga Ahab akan binasa; dan Aku akan melenyapkan dari pada Ahab setiap orang laki-laki, baik yang tinggi maupun yang rendah kedudukannya di Israel.
9 I will make the family of Ahab like that of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and Baasha, the son of Ahijah.
Dan Aku akan memperlakukan keluarga Ahab sama seperti keluarga Yerobeam bin Nebat dan sama seperti keluarga Baesa bin Ahia.
10 And Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.
Izebel akan dimakan anjing di kebun di luar Yizreel dengan tidak ada orang yang menguburkannya." Kemudian nabi itu membuka pintu, lalu lari.
11 Then Jehu came out again to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, Is all well? why did this man, who is off his head, come to you? And he said to them, You have knowledge of the man and of his talk.
Apabila Yehu keluar mendapatkan pegawai-pegawai tuannya, berkatalah seorang kepadanya: "Apa kabar? Mengapa orang gila itu datang kepadamu?" Jawabnya kepada mereka: "Kamu sendiri mengenal orang itu dengan omongannya!"
12 And they said, That is not true; now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made you king over Israel.
Tetapi mereka berkata: "Dusta! Cobalah beritahukan kepada kami!" Lalu katanya: "Begini-beginilah dikatakannya kepadaku: Demikianlah firman TUHAN: Telah Kuurapi engkau menjadi raja atas Israel."
13 Then straight away everyone took his robe and put it under him on the top of the steps, and, sounding the horn, they said, Jehu is king.
Segeralah mereka masing-masing mengambil pakaiannya dan membentangkannya di hadapan kakinya begitu saja di atas tangga, kemudian mereka meniup sangkakala serta berseru: "Yehu raja!"
14 So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of Hazael, king of Aram:
Demikianlah Yehu bin Yosafat bin Nimsi mengadakan persepakatan melawan Yoram. --Adapun Yoram sedang berjaga-jaga di Ramot-Gilead, bersama-sama dengan segenap orang Israel menghadapi Hazael, raja Aram.
15 But King Joram had gone back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the Aramaeans had given him when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram.) And Jehu said, If this is your purpose, then let no one get away and go out of the town to give news of it in Jezreel.
Tetapi raja Yoram sendiri telah pulang ke Yizreel, supaya luka-lukanya diobati, yang ditimbulkan orang Aram pada waktu ia berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram. --Yehu berkata: "Jika kamu sudah setuju, janganlah biarkan siapapun meloloskan diri dari kota untuk memberitahukan hal itu ke Yizreel."
16 So Jehu got into his carriage and went to Jezreel, for Joram was ill in bed there; and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.
Kemudian Yehu naik kereta dan pergi ke Yizreel, sebab Yoram berbaring sakit di sana. Juga Ahazia, raja Yehuda, datang menjenguk Yoram.
17 And the watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his band coming, and said, I see a band of people. And Joram said, Send out a horseman to them, and let him say, Is it peace?
Ketika jaga yang sedang berdiri di atas menara di Yizreel, melihat pasukan Yehu datang, berserulah ia: "Ada kulihat suatu pasukan." Berkatalah Yoram: "Ambillah seorang penunggang kuda, suruhlah ia menemui mereka serta menanyakan: apakah ini kabar damai?"
18 So a horseman went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come back.
Lalu pergilah penunggang kuda itu untuk menemuinya dan berkata: "Beginilah tanya raja: apakah ini kabar damai?" Jawab Yehu: "Damai? Bukan urusanmu! Baliklah, ikutlah aku!" Dan jaga itu memberitahukan: "Suruhan sudah sampai kepada mereka, tetapi ia tidak pulang."
19 Then he sent out a second horseman, who came up to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said in answer, What have you to do with peace? come after me.
Disuruhnyalah penunggang kuda yang kedua dan setelah sampai kepada mereka berkatalah ia: "Beginilah tanya raja: apakah ini kabar damai?" Jawab Yehu: "Damai? Bukan urusanmu! Baliklah, ikutlah aku!"
20 And the watchman gave them word, saying, He went up to them and has not come back again; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently.
Dan jaga itu memberitahukan: "Sudah sampai ia kepada mereka, tetapi ia tidak pulang! Dan cara memacunya adalah seperti cara Yehu, cucu Nimsi, memacu, sebab ia memacu seperti orang gila."
21 Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Sesudah itu berkatalah Yoram: "Pasanglah kereta!", lalu orang memasang keretanya. Maka keluarlah Yoram, raja Israel, dan Ahazia, raja Yehuda, masing-masing naik keretanya; mereka keluar menemui Yehu, lalu menjumpai dia di kebun Nabot, orang Yizreel itu.
22 Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?
Tatkala Yoram melihat Yehu, bertanyalah ia: "Apakah ini kabar damai, hai Yehu?" Jawabnya: "Bagaimana ada damai, selama sundal dan orang sihir ibumu Izebel begitu banyak!"
23 Then Joram, turning his horses in flight, said to Ahaziah, Broken faith, O Ahaziah!
Segera Yoram berputar dan mau melarikan diri sambil berseru kepada Ahazia: "Itu tipu, Ahazia!"
24 Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.
Tetapi Yehu menarik busurnya dengan sepenuh kekuatannya, lalu memanah Yoram di antara kedua bahunya, sehingga anak panah itu menembus jantungnya, maka rebahlah ia di dalam keretanya.
25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar, his captain, Take him up, and put him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for is not that day in your memory when you and I together on our horses were going after Ahab, his father, and the Lord put this fate on him, saying:
Kemudian berkatalah Yehu kepada Bidkar, perwiranya: "Angkat dan lemparkanlah mayatnya ke kebun Nabot, orang Yizreel itu, sebab ketahuilah, bahwa pada waktu aku dan engkau berdampingan menunggang kuda mengikuti Ahab, ayahnya, maka TUHAN telah mengucapkan terhadap dia hukuman ini:
26 I saw the blood of Naboth and of his sons yesterday; and I will give you full payment in this field, says the Lord? So now, take him and put him in this field, as the Lord said.
Sesungguhnya, Aku telah melihat darah Nabot dan darah anak-anaknya tadi malam, demikianlah firman TUHAN, maka Aku akan membalaskannya kepadamu di kebun ini, demikianlah firman TUHAN. Oleh sebab itu angkat dan lemparkanlah mayatnya ke kebun ini, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN."
27 Now when Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw this, he went in flight by the way of the garden house. And Jehu came after him and said, Put him to death in the same way; and they gave him a death-wound in his carriage, on the slope up to Gur, by Ibleam; and he went in flight to Megiddo, where death came to him.
Ketika Ahazia, raja Yehuda, melihat itu, maka iapun melarikan diri ke arah Bet-Hagan, tetapi Yehu mengejarnya sambil berkata: "Panahlah dia juga!" Maka mereka memanah dia di atas keretanya di pendakian ke Gur dekat Yibleam. Ia lari ke Megido dan mati di sana.
28 And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.
Para pegawainya mengangkut mayatnya ke Yerusalem, lalu mereka menguburkan dia dalam kuburnya sendiri, di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud.
29 (In the eleventh year of the rule of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.)
Adapun Ahazia menjadi raja atas Yehuda dalam tahun kesebelas zaman Yoram bin Ahab.
30 And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.
Sampailah Yehu ke Yizreel. Ketika Izebel mendengar itu, ia mencalak matanya, dihiasinyalah kepalanya, lalu ia menjenguk dari jendela.
31 And when Jehu was coming into the town, she said, Is all well, O Zimri, taker of your master's life?
Pada waktu Yehu masuk pintu gerbang, berserulah Izebel: "Bagaimana, selamatkah Zimri, pembunuh tuannya itu?"
32 Then, looking up to the window, he said, Who is on my side, who? and two or three unsexed servants put out their heads.
Yehu mengangkat kepalanya melihat ke jendela itu dan berkata: "Siapa yang di pihakku? Siapa?" Dan ketika dua tiga orang pegawai istana menjenguk kepadanya,
33 And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.
ia berseru: "Jatuhkanlah dia!" Mereka menjatuhkan dia, sehingga darahnya memercik ke dinding dan ke kuda; mayatnyapun terinjak-injak.
34 And he came in, and took food and drink; then he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and put her body into the earth, for she is a king's daughter.
Yehu masuk ke dalam, lalu makan dan minum. Kemudian ia berkata: "Baiklah urus mayat orang yang terkutuk itu dan kuburkanlah dia, sebab ia memang anak raja."
35 And they went out to put her body into the earth, but nothing of her was to be seen, only the bones of her head, and her feet, and parts of her hands.
Mereka pergi untuk menguburkannya, tetapi mereka tidak menjumpai mayatnya, hanya kepala dan kedua kaki dan kedua telapak tangannya.
36 So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;
Mereka kembali memberitahukannya kepada Yehu, lalu ia berkata: "Memang begitulah firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya, Elia, orang Tisbe itu: Di kebun di luar Yizreel akan dimakan anjing daging Izebel;
37 And the dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel; so that they will not be able to say, This is Jezebel.
maka mayat Izebel akan terhampar di kebun di luar Yizreel seperti pupuk di ladang, sehingga tidak ada orang yang dapat berkata: Inilah Izebel."
