1 Kings 11

1 But king Solomon loved many foreign women, including the daughter of Pharaoh, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Idumea, and of Sidon, and of the Hittites.

Raja Salomo mencintai banyak wanita asing. Selain putri raja Mesir, Salomo menikah juga dengan wanita-wanita Het, Moab, Amon, Edom dan Sidon.

2 These were of the nations about whom the Lord said to the sons of Israel: “You shall not enter to them, and none of them shall enter to anyone of yours. For they will most certainly turn aside your hearts, so that you follow their gods.” And yet, to these Solomon was joined with a greatly enflamed love.

TUHAN sudah memerintahkan bahwa orang Israel tak boleh kawin campur dengan bangsa-bangsa itu, sebab mereka nanti menyebabkan orang Israel menyembah ilah-ilah lain. Walaupun demikian, Salomo menikahi juga wanita-wanita asing.

3 And for him, there were seven hundred wives, as if they were queens, and three hundred concubines. And the women turned aside his heart.

Ada 700 putri bangsawan yang dinikahi Salomo, dan ada pula 300 selirnya. Istri-istri itulah yang menyebabkan Salomo meninggalkan Allah,

4 And when now he was old, his heart was perverted by the women, so that he followed strange gods. And his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.

sehingga pada waktu ia sudah tua mereka berhasil membujuknya menyembah ilah-ilah lain. Daud, ayah Salomo, setia kepada TUHAN, Allahnya, tetapi Salomo tidak seperti ayahnya.

5 For Solomon worshipped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites.

Salomo menyembah Asytoret, dewi bangsa Sidon, dan juga Molokh dewa yang memuakkan yang disembah bangsa Amon.

6 And Solomon did what was not pleasing in the sight of the Lord. And he did not continue to follow the Lord, as his father David did.

Demikianlah Salomo berdosa terhadap TUHAN. Daud, ayah Salomo mengikuti TUHAN dengan sepenuh hati, tetapi Salomo tidak seperti itu.

7 Then Solomon built a shrine for Chemosh, the idol of Moab, on the mount that is opposite Jerusalem, and for Milcom, the idol of the sons of Ammon.

Di atas gunung sebelah timur Yerusalem, ia mendirikan tempat penyembahan untuk Kamos, dewa orang Moab, dan untuk Molokh, dewa orang Amon--kedua-duanya dewa yang memuakkan.

8 And he acted in this manner for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and immolating to their gods.

Salomo mendirikan juga tempat-tempat di mana istri-istrinya yang berbangsa asing dapat membakar dupa, dan mempersembahkan kurban untuk dewa-dewa mereka sendiri.

9 And so, the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his mind had been turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

Sudah dua kali TUHAN, Allah Israel, menampakkan diri kepada Salomo dan mengingatkan dia bahwa ia tidak boleh menyembah ilah-ilah lain, namun Salomo tidak mentaati TUHAN. Ia malah meninggalkan TUHAN, sehingga TUHAN marah kepadanya.

10 and who had instructed him about this matter, lest he follow strange gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded to him.

11 And so, the Lord said to Solomon: “Because you have this with you, and because you have not kept my covenant and my precepts, which I commanded to you, I will tear apart your kingdom, and I will give it to your servant.

TUHAN berkata, "Karena dengan sadar engkau melanggar perjanjianmu dengan Aku dan tidak mentaati perintah-perintah-Ku, maka Aku akan merenggut kerajaan itu daripadamu, dan memberikannya kepada seorang pegawaimu.

12 Yet truly, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David. From the hand of your son, I will tear it away.

Meskipun begitu, demi ayahmu Daud, Aku tidak akan melakukan hal itu semasa hidupmu. Pada masa pemerintahan putramu, barulah Aku melakukannya.

13 Neither will I take away the whole kingdom. Instead, I will grant one tribe to your son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

Tetapi tidak seluruh kerajaan itu akan Kurenggut daripadanya. Demi hamba-Ku Daud, dan demi Yerusalem yang telah Kujadikan kota-Ku itu, Aku akan menyisakan satu suku untuk putramu."

14 Then the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad of Idumea, from an offspring of the king who was in Idumea.

Maka TUHAN membuat Hadad, seorang keturunan raja Edom, memusuhi Raja Salomo.

15 For when David was in Idumea, Joab, the leader of the military, had ascended to bury those who had been killed, and he had killed every male in Idumea.

Lama sebelum itu, sesudah Raja Daud menaklukkan Edom, Yoab, panglima angkatan bersenjata Raja Daud, pergi ke Edom untuk menguburkan orang-orangnya yang tewas. Enam bulan lamanya ia dan anak buahnya tinggal di Edom. Dan di dalam waktu itu mereka membunuh semua orang laki-laki di sana.

16 And Joab remained in that place for six months, with all of Israel, until he had put to death every male in Idumea.

17 Then Hadad fled, he and some men of Idumea from among the servants of his father with him, so that he might enter into Egypt. But Hadad was then a little boy.

Tetapi, Hadad yang pada waktu itu masih muda, telah lari ke Mesir bersama beberapa orang Edom, pelayan-pelayan ayahnya.

18 And when they had risen up from Midian, they went into Paran, and they took with them some men from Paran. And they went into Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And he gave him a house, and he appointed food for him, and he assigned land to him.

Mereka berangkat dari Midian, lalu pergi ke Paran. Di sana beberapa orang lainnya bergabung dengan mereka, lalu bersama-sama pergi ke Mesir menemui raja Mesir. Raja itu memberikan kepada Hadad rumah dan tanah untuk tempat tinggalnya serta jaminan hidup.

19 And Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh, so much so that he gave to him as wife, the sister of his own wife, queen Tahpenes.

Maka Hadad pun menjadi kawan baik raja, sehingga raja memberikan iparnya sendiri, yaitu adik permaisuri Tahpenes, kepada Hadad untuk menjadi istrinya.

20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore to him a son, Genubath. And Tahpenes raised him in the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was living with Pharaoh and his sons.

Kemudian istri Hadad itu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki yang diberi nama Genubat. Anak ini dibesarkan oleh permaisuri sendiri dan tinggal di istana bersama putra-putra raja.

21 And when Hadad had heard in Egypt that David had slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the leader of the military, had died, he said to Pharaoh, “Release me, so that I may go to my own land.”

Ketika Hadad menerima berita bahwa Raja Daud sudah meninggal, dan Yoab, panglima angkatan bersenjata Israel juga sudah meninggal, berkatalah Hadad kepada raja Mesir, "Perkenankanlah aku kembali ke tanah airku."

22 And Pharaoh said to him, “But what is lacking to you with me, so that you would seek to go to your own land?” But he responded: “Nothing. Yet I beg you that you may release me.”

"Kenapa?" tanya raja. "Apakah engkau kekurangan di sini, sehingga engkau mau kembali ke tanah airmu?" "Aku tidak kekurangan apa-apa," sahut Hadad, "tetapi biarkanlah aku pergi." Maka kembalilah ia ke tanah airnya.

23 Also, God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadad-Ezer, the king of Zobah.

Allah membuat juga Rezon, anak Elyada, memusuhi Salomo. Rezon adalah hamba yang melarikan diri dari tuannya yaitu Raja Hadadezer dari Zoba.

24 And he gathered together men against him. And when David put those of Zobah to death, he became a leader of robbers. And they went away to Damascus, and they lived there. And they appointed him to be king of Damascus.

Raja Daud pernah mengalahkan Hadadezer ini dan membunuh kawan-kawan Hadadezer dari Siria. Pada waktu itu Rezon melarikan diri dari Hadadezer dan mengumpulkan orang-orang lalu menjadi kepala gerombolan. Ia dan anak buahnya pergi ke Damsyik lalu tinggal di kota itu. Di sana anak buahnya mengangkat dia menjadi raja Siria.

25 And he was an adversary to Israel during all the days of Solomon. And such is the evil of Hadad and of his hatred against Israel. And he reigned in Syria.

Seperti Hadad, Raja Rezon pun memusuhi Israel semasa hidup Salomo, dan mengacau di negeri itu.

26 Also, there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Zeruah, a widowed woman. He lifted up his hand against the king.

Orang lain yang memberontak melawan Salomo ialah salah seorang pegawainya yang bernama Yerobeam. Ia anak Nebat dari Zereda di Efraim. Ibunya sudah janda, bernama Zerua.

27 And this is the reason for his rebellion against him: that Solomon built up Millo, and that he filled in a deep hole in the city of David, his father.

Berikut ini kisah tentang pemberontakan Yerobeam. Ketika tanah di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN sedang ditimbun, dan tembok kota diperbaiki,

28 Now Jeroboam was a valiant and powerful man. And perceiving the young man to be ingenious and industrious, Solomon appointed him as first ruler over the tributes of the entire house of Joseph.

Yerobeam juga bekerja di situ. Ketika Salomo melihat bahwa Yerobeam trampil dan rajin, ia memberikan kepadanya tanggung jawab untuk mengawasi kerja paksa di wilayah suku Manasye dan Efraim.

29 And it happened, in that time, that Jeroboam departed from Jerusalem. And the prophet Ahijah, the Shilonite, wearing a new cloak, found him on the way. And the two were alone in the field.

Pada suatu hari Yerobeam keluar dari Yerusalem. Di tengah jalan di padang ia didatangi Nabi Ahia dari Silo yang pada waktu itu memakai jubah yang baru.

30 And taking his new cloak, with which he was covered, Ahijah tore it into twelve parts.

Lalu Ahia melepaskan jubahnya, dan merobek-robeknya menjadi dua belas potong.

31 And he said to Jeroboam: “Take ten pieces for yourself. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes.

Kemudian berkatalah ia kepada Yerobeam, "Ambillah sepuluh potong untuk dirimu, sebab TUHAN, Allah Israel, berkata begini kepadamu, 'Aku akan merenggut kerajaan ini dari Salomo, dan memberikan sepuluh suku kepadamu.

32 Yet one tribe shall remain with him, for the sake of my servant, David, as well as Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

Satu suku akan tetap pada Salomo, demi hamba-Ku Daud, dan demi Yerusalem, yang telah Kupilih dari seluruh negeri Israel menjadi kota-Ku.

33 For he has abandoned me, and he has adored Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the sons of Ammon. And he has not walked in my ways, so that he would do justice before me, and so that he would carry out my precepts and judgments, as his father David did.

Aku akan melakukan hal itu karena Salomo telah meninggalkan Aku dan menyembah dewa-dewa, yaitu: Asytoret, dewi bangsa Sidon; Kamos, dewa bangsa Moab; dan Milkom, dewa bangsa Amon. Salomo tidak menuruti kehendak-Ku. Ia tidak seperti ayahnya Daud yang taat kepada-Ku dan melaksanakan perintah-perintah-Ku.

34 But I will not take the entire kingdom from his hand. Instead, I will establish him as the ruler during all the days of his life, for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.

Meskipun begitu Aku tidak akan mengambil seluruh kerajaan itu dari dia. Ia akan Kubiarkan berkuasa selama hidupnya. Hal itu Kulakukan demi hamba-Ku Daud, yang telah Kupilih dan yang mentaati hukum-hukum-Ku dan perintah-perintah-Ku.

35 But I will take away the kingdom from the hand of his son, and I will give to you ten tribes.

Kerajaan ini akan Kuambil dari putra Salomo dan sepuluh suku akan Kuberikan kepadamu.

36 Then, to his son, I will give one tribe, so that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me, for all days, in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, so that my name would be there.

Namun satu suku akan Kubiarkan padanya, supaya selalu ada seorang dari keturunan hamba-Ku Daud yang memerintah untuk Aku di Yerusalem, kota yang telah Kupilih sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Ku.

37 And I will take you up, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires. And you shall be king over Israel.

Dan kau, Yerobeam, akan Kujadikan raja Israel dan Kuperkenankan memerintah seluruh daerah yang engkau kehendaki.

38 Therefore, if you will listen to all that I will command you, and if you will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight, keeping my commandments and my precepts, just as my servant David did, then I will be with you, and I will build for you a faithful house, in the way that I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to you.

Jikalau engkau, seperti hamba-Ku Daud, taat sepenuhnya kepada-Ku serta hidup menurut hukum-hukum-Ku, dan menyenangkan hati-Ku dengan melakukan semua yang Kuperintahkan kepadamu, maka Aku akan menyertaimu selalu. Aku akan menjadikan engkau raja di Israel. Aku akan menjamin bahwa keturunanmu akan menjadi raja Israel menggantikan engkau, sama seperti yang telah Kubuat untuk Daud.

39 And I will afflict the offspring of David over this, but truly not for all days.’”

Karena Salomo berdosa, Aku akan menghukum keturunan Daud, tetapi tidak untuk selama-lamanya.'"

40 Therefore, Solomon wanted to kill Jeroboam. But he rose up and fled away to Egypt, to Shishak, the king of Egypt. And he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

Ketika berita itu sampai kepada Salomo, ia berusaha membunuh Yerobeam. Tetapi Yerobeam lari kepada Raja Sisak di Mesir, dan tinggal di situ sampai Salomo meninggal.

41 Now the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold, these are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.

Kisah lainnya mengenai Salomo, mengenai semua yang telah dikerjakannya dan mengenai pengetahuannya, sudah dicatat dalam buku Riwayat Hidup Salomo.

42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, were forty years.

Empat puluh tahun lamanya Salomo memerintah di Yerusalem atas seluruh Israel.

43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David, his father. And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his place.

Kemudian ia meninggal dan dimakamkan di Kota Daud. Lalu Rehabeam putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
