2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah, the son of Remaliah: Ahaz, the son of Jotham, reigned as king of Judah.
Dalam tahun ketujuh belas zaman Pekah bin Remalya, Ahas anak Yotam raja Yehuda menjadi raja.
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, his God, as his father David did.
Ahas berumur dua puluh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Ia tidak melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, Allahnya, seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya,
3 Instead, he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. Moreover, he even consecrated his son, making him pass through fire, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.
tetapi ia hidup menurut kelakuan raja-raja Israel, bahkan dia mempersembahkan anaknya sebagai korban dalam api, sesuai dengan perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalau TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.
4 Also, he was immolating victims, and burning incense, in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
Ia mempersembahkan dan membakar korban di bukit-bukit pengorbanan dan di atas tempat-tempat yang tinggi dan di bawah setiap pohon yang rimbun.
5 Then Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, ascended to do battle against Jerusalem. And they besieged Ahaz, but they were not able to overcome him.
Pada waktu itu majulah Rezin, raja Aram, dan Pekah bin Remalya, raja Israel, untuk memerangi Yerusalem. Dan mereka mengepung Ahas, tetapi mereka tidak dapat mengalahkan dia.
6 At that time, Rezin, the king of Syria, restored Elath to Syria, and he expelled the Judeans from Elath. And the Idumeans went into Elath, and they have lived there, even to this day.
Pada masa itu Rezin, raja Aram, mengembalikan Elat kepada Edom, lalu ia mengusir orang-orang Yehuda dari Elat. Datanglah orang-orang Edom ke Elat dan diam di sana sampai hari ini.
7 Then Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, the king of the Assyrians, saying: “I am your servant, and I am your son. Ascend and accomplish my salvation from the hand of the king of Syria, and from the hand of the king of Israel, who have risen up together against me.”
Ahas menyuruh utusan-utusan kepada Tiglat-Pileser, raja Asyur, mengatakan: "Aku ini hambamu dan anakmu. Majulah dan selamatkanlah aku dari tangan raja Aram dan dari tangan raja Israel, yang telah bangkit menyerang aku."
8 And when he had collected the silver and the gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king, he sent it as a gift to the king of the Assyrians.
Ahas mengambil perak dan emas yang terdapat dalam rumah TUHAN dan dalam perbendaharaan istana raja, dan mengirimnya kepada raja Asyur sebagai persembahan.
9 And he agreed to his will. For the king of the Assyrians ascended against Damascus, and he laid waste to it. And he carried away its inhabitants to Cyrene. But Rezin he killed.
Maka raja Asyur mendengarkan permintaannya dan maju melawan Damsyik, merebutnya dan mengangkut penduduknya tertawan ke Kir, tetapi Rezin dibunuhnya.
10 And king Ahaz traveled to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser, the king of the Assyrians. And when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Ahaz sent to Uriah, the priest, its pattern and likeness, according to all of its work.
Sesudah itu pergilah raja Ahas menemui Tiglat-Pileser, raja Asyur, ke Damsyik. Setelah raja Ahas melihat mezbah yang ada di Damsyik, dikirimnyalah kepada imam Uria ukuran dan bagan mezbah itu, menurut buatannya yang tepat.
11 And Uriah, the priest, constructed an altar in accord with all that king Ahaz had commanded from Damascus. Uriah, the priest, did so, until king Ahaz arrived from Damascus.
Lalu imam Uria mendirikan mezbah; tepat seperti keterangan yang dikirimkan raja Ahas dari Damsyik, demikianlah dibuat imam Uria menjelang datangnya raja Ahas dari Damsyik.
12 And when the king had arrived from Damascus, he saw the altar, and he venerated it. And he went up and immolated holocausts, with his own sacrifice.
Setelah raja pulang dari Damsyik, maka raja melihat mezbah itu. Lalu mendekatlah raja kepada mezbah itu, naik ke atasnya,
13 And he offered libations, and he poured out the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered, upon the altar.
membakar korban bakarannya dan korban sajiannya, mencurahkan korban curahannya di atas mezbah itu, dan menyiramkan darah korban keselamatannya kepadanya.
14 But the altar of brass, which was before the Lord, he took away from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord. And he positioned it at the side of the altar, toward the north.
Tetapi ia menyuruh menggeser mezbah tembaga yang ada di hadapan TUHAN dari depan rumah TUHAN, dari antara mezbah baru dengan rumah itu, dan menaruhnya di sebelah utara mezbah baru itu.
15 Also, king Ahaz instructed Uriah, the priest, saying: “Upon the great altar, offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the holocaust of the king, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the entire people of the land, and their sacrifices. But their libations, and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim, you shall pour out upon it. Then truly, the altar of brass shall be prepared for use at my will.”
Kemudian raja Ahas memerintahkan kepada imam Uria: "Bakarlah di atas mezbah besar itu korban bakaran pagi dan korban sajian petang, juga korban bakaran dan korban sajian raja, lagi korban bakaran dan korban sajian dan korban-korban curahan seluruh rakyat negeri; dan siramkanlah kepadanya segenap darah korban bakaran dan segenap darah korban sembelihan; tetapi mezbah tembaga itu adalah urusanku."
16 And so Uriah, the priest, acted in accord with all that king Ahaz had instructed to him.
Lalu imam Uria melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan raja Ahas.
17 Then king Ahaz took away the engraved bases, and the basin that was upon them. And he took down the sea from the bronze oxen, which were holding it up. And he positioned it upon a layer of pavement stone.
Sesudah itu raja Ahas memotong papan penutup kereta penopang dan menyingkirkan bejana pembasuhan dari atasnya, juga "laut" itu diturunkannya dari atas lembu tembaga yang mendukungnya dan ditaruhnya di atas alas batu.
18 Also, the canopy for the Sabbath, which he had built in the temple, and the exterior entrance of the king, he converted into the temple of the Lord, because of the king of the Assyrians.
Selanjutnya, demi raja Asyur, disingkirkannya dari rumah TUHAN serambi tertutup untuk hari Sabat yang telah didirikan pada rumah TUHAN, juga pintu masuk untuk raja yang di sebelah luar.
19 Now the rest of the words of Ahaz that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Selebihnya dari riwayat Ahas dan apa yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Hezekiah, his son, reigned in his place.
Kemudian Ahas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud. Maka Hizkia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
