1 Kings 9
1 Now it happened that, when Solomon had perfected the building of the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had desired and had willed to do,
Setelah Salomo selesai mendirikan Rumah TUHAN dan istana raja serta semua yang direncanakannya,
2 the Lord appeared to him a second time, just as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
TUHAN menampakkan diri lagi kepadanya seperti yang terjadi di Gibeon.
3 And the Lord said to him: “I have heard your prayer and your petition, which you prayed before me. I have sanctified this house, which you have built, so that I may place my name there forever, and so that my eyes and my heart will be there for all days.
TUHAN berkata kepadanya, "Doamu sudah Kudengar, dan dengan ini rumah yang telah kaudirikan ini Kunyatakan menjadi tempat khusus untuk beribadat kepada-Ku selama-lamanya. Aku akan selalu memperhatikan dan menjaga tempat ini.
4 Also, if you will walk before me, just as your father walked, in simplicity of heart and in equity, and you do all that I have instructed to you, and you keep my laws and my judgments,
Kalau engkau mengabdi kepada-Ku dengan tulus hati dan jujur seperti ayahmu Daud, dan engkau mentaati hukum-hukum dan perintah-perintah-Ku,
5 then I will set the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I promised your father David, saying: ‘A man from your stock shall not be taken away from the throne of Israel.’
maka Aku akan menepati janji-Ku kepada ayahmu Daud bahwa anak cucunya turun-temurun akan selalu memerintah Israel.
6 But if you and your sons, wandering, will have turned away, not following me, and not keeping my commandments and my ceremonies, which I have proposed to you, but instead you go away, and you serve strange gods and adore them,
Tetapi kalau engkau atau keturunanmu membelakangi Aku dan tidak taat kepada hukum-hukum dan perintah-perintah-Ku serta engkau menyembah ilah-ilah lain,
7 then I will take away Israel from the face of the land, which I have given to them. And the temple, which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out from my sight. And Israel will be a proverb and a parable among all the peoples.
maka Aku akan mengusir umat-Ku Israel dari negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada mereka. Aku juga akan meninggalkan rumah ini yang telah Kutetapkan menjadi tempat ibadat kepada-Ku. Di mana-mana orang Israel akan dihina dan ditertawakan.
8 And this house will become an example: anyone who passes by it will be stupefied, and he will hiss and say, ‘Why has the Lord acted in this way to this land and to this house?’
Rumah ibadat ini akan menjadi suatu timbunan puing sehingga setiap orang yang lewat di situ akan terkejut dan ngeri. Mereka akan berkata, 'Mengapa TUHAN berbuat begitu terhadap negeri dan rumah ini?'
9 And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who led their fathers away from the land of Egypt, and they followed strange gods, and they adored them and served them. For this reason, the Lord led all this evil over them.’”
Lalu orang akan menjawab, 'Karena mereka meninggalkan TUHAN, Allah mereka, yang telah mengantar leluhur mereka keluar dari Mesir. Mereka menyembah ilah-ilah lain. Itulah sebabnya TUHAN mendatangkan bencana ini ke atas mereka.'"
10 Then, when twenty years were fulfilled, after Solomon had built the two houses, that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
Salomo membangun Rumah TUHAN dan istana raja dalam waktu dua puluh tahun.
11 Hiram, the king of Tyre, having supplied Solomon with cedar wood, and spruce wood, and gold, in accord with all that he needed, then Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.
Semua kayu cemara Libanon dan kayu cemara biasa serta semua emas yang diperlukan Salomo untuk pembangunan itu telah diberikan Raja Hiram kepadanya. Setelah pekerjaan itu selesai, Raja Salomo memberikan kepada Hiram dua puluh buah kota di wilayah Galilea.
12 And Hiram went out of Tyre, so that he might view the towns that Solomon had given to him. And they did not please him.
Maka pergilah Hiram melihatnya, tetapi ia tidak senang dengan pemberian itu.
13 And he said, “Are these the cities that you have given to me, brother?” And he called them the land of Cabul, even to this day.
Ia berkata kepada Salomo, "Saudaraku, beginikah macamnya kota-kota yang kauberikan kepadaku?" Itulah sebabnya daerah itu masih disebut Kabul.
14 And Hiram sent to king Solomon one hundred twenty talents of gold.
Lebih dari 4.000 kilogram emas telah dikirim Hiram kepada Salomo.
15 This is the sum of the expenses that king Solomon offered for the building of the house of the Lord, and his own house, and for Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
Raja Salomo memakai cara kerja paksa untuk membangun Rumah TUHAN, istana raja, tembok Yerusalem dan untuk menimbun tanah di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN. Ia memakai cara yang sama untuk membangun kembali kota Hazor, Megido dan Gezer.
16 Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, ascended and seized Gezer, and he burned it with fire. And he put to death the Canaanite who was living in the city, and he gave it as a dowry for his daughter, the wife of Solomon.
(Kota Gezer adalah kota yang dahulu diserang dan dikalahkan oleh raja Mesir, lalu penduduknya dibunuh dan kotanya dibakar. Kota itu kemudian diberikan oleh raja Mesir kepada putrinya sebagai hadiah pada hari pernikahannya dengan Salomo.
17 Therefore, Solomon built up Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,
Dan Salomolah yang membangun kembali kota itu.) Dengan kerja paksa juga, Salomo membangun kembali Bet-Horon-Hilir,
18 and Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.
Baalat, Tamar di padang gurun Yehuda,
19 And all the towns which belonged to him, and which were without walls, he walled, along with the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatever was pleasing to him that he might build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in the entire land of his dominion.
kota-kota perbekalan, serta kota-kota untuk pangkalan kereta perang dan kudanya. Semua rencana pembangunan di Yerusalem, Libanon, dan di seluruh wilayah kekuasaannya telah dilaksanakannya.
20 All the people who had remained of the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel,
Untuk kerja paksa itu Salomo mengerahkan orang-orang keturunan orang Amori, Het, Feris, Hewi dan Yebus. Mereka adalah orang-orang keturunan bangsa Kanaan yang tidak dapat dibunuh habis oleh orang Israel ketika mereka menduduki negeri itu. Sampai sekarang keturunan mereka masih menjadi hamba.
21 their sons, who had remained in the land, namely, those whom the sons of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary, even to this day.
22 But from the sons of Israel, Solomon did not appoint anyone at all to serve, except the men of war, and his ministers, and leaders, and commanders, and the overseers of the chariots and the horses.
Orang Israel tidak dijadikan hamba oleh Salomo; mereka ditugaskan sebagai prajurit, perwira, panglima, komandan kereta perang, dan tentara pasukan berkuda.
23 Now there were five hundred fifty leaders in the first place over all the works of Solomon, and they had people subject to them, and these were given orders for the appointed works.
Lima ratus lima puluh pegawai diserahi tanggung jawab atas orang-orang yang melakukan kerja paksa dalam berbagai proyek pembangunan Salomo.
24 And the daughter of Pharaoh went up from the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her. Then he built up Millo.
Tanah di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN ditimbun oleh Salomo setelah istrinya, yaitu putri raja Mesir, pindah dari Kota Daud ke istana yang dibangun Salomo untuk dia.
25 Also, three times each year, Solomon offered holocausts and victims of peace offerings, upon the altar that he had built to the Lord, and he burned incense before the Lord. And the temple was perfected.
Tiga kali setahun Salomo mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian di atas mezbah yang telah didirikannya untuk TUHAN. Ia membakar juga dupa untuk TUHAN. Demikianlah Salomo menyelesaikan pembangunan Rumah TUHAN.
26 And king Solomon made a navy at Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shores of the Red Sea, in the land of Idumea.
Untuk armadanya, Raja Salomo membuat kapal-kapal di Ezion-Geber, dekat Elot di pantai Teluk Akaba, wilayah Edom.
27 And Hiram sent his servants to that navy, the sailors and those knowledgeable about the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
Raja Hiram mengirim awak-awak kapalnya yang berpengalaman untuk berlayar bersama awak-awak kapal Salomo.
28 And when they had gone to Ophir, taking from there four hundred twenty talents of gold, they brought it to king Solomon.
Pernah mereka berlayar ke negeri Ofir untuk mengambil 14.000 kilogram emas dan membawanya kepada Salomo.
