2 Kings 23
1 And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.
Sesudah itu raja menyuruh orang mengumpulkan semua tua-tua Yehuda dan Yerusalem.
2 And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
Kemudian pergilah raja ke rumah TUHAN dan bersama-sama dia semua orang Yehuda dan semua penduduk Yerusalem, para imam, para nabi dan seluruh orang awam, dari yang kecil sampai yang besar. Dengan didengar mereka ia membacakan segala perkataan dari kitab perjanjian yang ditemukan di rumah TUHAN itu.
3 And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant.
Sesudah itu berdirilah raja dekat tiang dan diadakannyalah perjanjian di hadapan TUHAN untuk hidup dengan mengikuti TUHAN, dan tetap menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya, peraturan-peraturan-Nya dan ketetapan-ketetapan-Nya dengan segenap hati dan dengan segenap jiwa dan untuk menepati perkataan perjanjian yang tertulis dalam kitab itu. Dan seluruh rakyat turut mendukung perjanjian itu.
4 And the king commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
Raja memberi perintah kepada imam besar Hilkia dan kepada para imam tingkat dua dan kepada para penjaga pintu untuk mengeluarkan dari bait TUHAN segala perkakas yang telah dibuat untuk Baal dan Asyera dan untuk segala tentara langit, lalu dibakarnyalah semuanya itu di luar kota Yerusalem di padang-padang Kidron, dan diangkutnyalah abunya ke Betel.
5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven.
Ia memberhentikan para imam dewa asing yang telah diangkat oleh raja-raja Yehuda untuk membakar korban di bukit pengorbanan di kota-kota Yehuda dan di sekitar Yerusalem, juga orang-orang yang membakar korban untuk Baal, untuk dewa matahari, untuk dewa bulan, untuk rasi-rasi bintang dan untuk segenap tentara langit.
6 And he caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common people.
Dibawanyalah tiang-tiang berhala dari rumah TUHAN ke luar kota Yerusalem, ke sungai Kidron, lalu dibakarnya di situ dan ditumbuknya halus-halus menjadi abu, kemudian dicampakkannyalah abunya ke atas kuburan rakyat jelata.
7 He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.
Ia merobohkan petak-petak pelacuran bakti yang ada di rumah TUHAN, tempat orang-orang perempuan bertenun sarung untuk Asyera.
8 And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city.
Disuruhnyalah datang semua imam dari kota-kota Yehuda, lalu ia menajiskan bukit-bukit pengorbanan, tempat para imam itu membakar korban, dari Geba sampai Bersyeba; dirobohkannya pula bukit-bukit pengorbanan di pintu-pintu gerbang yang ada dekat lobang pintu gerbang Yosua, penguasa kota itu, yang ada pada sebelah kiri kalau orang memasuki pintu gerbang kota itu.
9 However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
Tetapi para imam bukit-bukit pengorbanan itu tidak boleh naik ke mezbah TUHAN di Yerusalem, hanya mereka boleh memakan roti yang tidak beragi di tengah-tengah saudara-saudara mereka.
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.
Ia menajiskan juga Tofet yang ada di lembah Ben-Hinom, supaya jangan orang mempersembahkan anak-anaknya sebagai korban dalam api untuk dewa Molokh.
11 And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
Dibuangnyalah kuda-kuda yang ditaruh oleh raja-raja Yehuda untuk dewa matahari di pintu masuk ke rumah TUHAN, dekat bilik Natan-Melekh, pegawai istana, yang tinggal di gedung samping; juga kereta-kereta dewa matahari dibakarnya dengan api.
12 And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.
Mezbah-mezbah, yang ada di atas sotoh, tempat peranginan Ahas, yang dibuat oleh raja-raja Yehuda, dan mezbah-mezbah, yang dibuat Manasye di kedua pelataran rumah TUHAN, dirobohkan oleh raja, dan diremukkan di sana, lalu dicampakkannya abunya ke sungai Kidron.
13 The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.
Bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang ada di sebelah timur Yerusalem di sebelah selatan bukit Kebusukan dan yang didirikan oleh Salomo, raja Israel, untuk Asytoret, dewa kejijikan sembahan orang Sidon, dan untuk Kamos, dewa kejijikan sembahan Moab, dan untuk Milkom, dewa kekejian sembahan orang Amon, dinajiskan oleh raja.
14 And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
Ia memecahkan tugu-tugu berhala dan menebang tiang-tiang berhala, lalu ditimbuninya tempat-tempat itu penuh dengan tulang-tulang manusia.
15 Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove.
Juga mezbah yang ada di Betel, bukit pengorbanan yang dibuat oleh Yerobeam bin Nebat yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa, mezbah dan bukit pengorbanan itupun dirobohkannya dan batu-batunya dipecahkannya, lalu ditumbuknya halus-halus menjadi abu, dan dibakarnyalah tiang berhala.
16 And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.
Dan ketika Yosia berpaling, dilihatnyalah kuburan-kuburan yang ada di gunung di sana, lalu menyuruh orang mengambil tulang-tulang dari kuburan-kuburan itu, membakarnya di atas mezbah dan menajiskannya, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang telah diserukan oleh abdi Allah yang telah menyerukan hal-hal ini.
17 And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.
Ia berkata: "Apakah tanda keramat yang kulihat ini?" Lalu orang-orang di kota itu menjawab dia: "Itulah kuburan abdi Allah yang sudah datang dari Yehuda dan yang telah menyerukan segala hal yang telah kaulakukan terhadap mezbah Betel ini!"
18 And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
Lalu katanya: "Biarkanlah itu, janganlah ada orang yang menjamah tulang-tulangnya!" Jadi mereka tidak mengganggu tulang-tulangnya dan tulang-tulang nabi yang telah datang dari Samaria itu.
19 Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
Juga segala kuil di bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang di kota-kota Samaria yang dibuat oleh raja-raja Israel untuk menimbulkan sakit hati TUHAN, dijauhkan oleh Yosia dan dalam hal ini ia bertindak tepat seperti tindakannya di Betel.
20 And he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones upon them: and returned to Jerusalem.
Ia menyembelih di atas mezbah-mezbah itu semua imam bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang ada di sana dan dibakarnya tulang-tulang manusia di atasnya, lalu pulanglah ia ke Yerusalem.
21 And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant.
Kemudian raja memberi perintah kepada seluruh bangsa itu: "Rayakanlah Paskah bagi TUHAN, Allahmu, seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab perjanjian ini!"
22 Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,
Sebab tidak pernah lagi dirayakan Paskah seperti itu sejak zaman para hakim yang memerintah atas Israel dan sepanjang zaman raja-raja Israel dan raja-raja Yehuda.
23 As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
Tetapi barulah dalam tahun kedelapan belas zaman raja Yosia Paskah ini dirayakan bagi TUHAN di Yerusalem.
24 Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord.
Para pemanggil arwah, dan para pemanggil roh peramal, juga terafim, berhala-berhala dan segala dewa kejijikan yang terlihat di tanah Yehuda dan di Yerusalem, dihapuskan oleh Yosia dengan maksud menepati perkataan Taurat yang tertulis dalam kitab yang telah didapati oleh imam Hilkia di rumah TUHAN.
25 There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him.
Sebelum dia tidak ada raja seperti dia yang berbalik kepada TUHAN dengan segenap hatinya, dengan segenap jiwanya dan dengan segenap kekuatannya, sesuai dengan segala Taurat Musa; dan sesudah dia tidak ada bangkit lagi yang seperti dia.
26 But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him.
Tetapi TUHAN tidak beralih dari murka-Nya yang sangat bernyala-nyala itu yang telah bangkit terhadap Yehuda oleh karena segala sakit hati-Nya yang ditimbulkan Manasye.
27 And the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of which I said: My name shall be there.
Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN: "Juga orang Yehuda akan Kujauhkan dari hadapan-Ku seperti Aku menjauhkan orang Israel, dan Aku akan membuang kota yang Kupilih ini, yakni Yerusalem, dan rumah ini, walaupun Aku telah berfirman tentangnya: Nama-Ku akan tinggal di sana!"
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Selebihnya dari riwayat Yosia dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
29 In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.
Dalam zamannya itu majulah Firaun Nekho, raja Mesir, melawan raja Asyur di tepi sungai Efrat; raja Yosia pergi menghadapi dia; tetapi Firaun membunuhnya di Megido, segera sesudah ia melihatnya.
30 And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
Pegawai-pegawainya mengangkut mayatnya dengan kereta dari Megido dan membawanya ke Yerusalem, kemudian mereka menguburkannya dalam kuburnya sendiri. Maka rakyat negeri itu menjemput Yoahas, anak Yosia, mengurapi dia dan mengangkat dia menjadi raja menggantikan ayahnya.
31 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
Yoahas berumur dua puluh tiga tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga bulan lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Hamutal binti Yeremia, dari Libna.
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN tepat seperti yang dilakukan oleh nenek moyangnya.
33 And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Firaun Nekho mengurung dia di Ribla, di tanah Hamat, supaya jangan ia memerintah di Yerusalem; lagi Firaun membebankan kepada negeri itu denda sebesar seratus talenta perak dan sepuluh talenta emas.
34 And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.
Firaun Nekho mengangkat Elyakim, anak Yosia, menjadi raja menggantikan Yosia, ayahnya, dan menukar namanya dengan Yoyakim. Tetapi Yoahas dibawanya; Yoahas tiba di Mesir dan mati di sana.
35 And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.
Yoyakim memberi emas dan perak itu kepada Firaun, tetapi ia menarik pajak dari negeri supaya dapat memberi uang itu, sesuai dengan titah Firaun. Ia menagih emas dan perak itu dari rakyat negeri, dari setiap orang menurut jumlah ketetapan pajaknya, untuk memberikannya kepada Firaun Nekho.
36 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia of Ruma.
Yoyakim berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan sebelas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Zebuda binti Pedaya, dari Ruma.
37 And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN tepat seperti yang dilakukan oleh nenek moyangnya.
