1 Kings 14
1 It was at that time that Abijah, Jeroboam's son, fell ill.
Pada waktu itu Abia, anak Yerobeam, jatuh sakit.
2 So Jeroboam told his wife, “Please go and disguise yourself so nobody will know you're Jeroboam's wife. Then go to Shiloh and look for Ahijah the prophet. He was the one who told me I would become king over this people.
Lalu Yerobeam berkata kepada isterinya: "Berkemaslah! Menyamarlah, supaya jangan diketahui orang, bahwa engkau isteri Yerobeam, dan pergilah ke Silo. Bukankah di sana tinggal nabi Ahia! Dialah yang telah mengatakan tentang aku, bahwa aku akan menjadi raja atas bangsa ini.
3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey for him. He will explain to you what will happen to the boy.”
Bawalah sepuluh roti, kue kismis, dan sebuli-buli air madu, dan pergilah kepadanya. Dia akan memberitahukan kepadamu, apa yang akan terjadi dengan anak ini."
4 Jeroboam's wife did as she was told. She got up and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Ahijah could not see—he had become blind because of his age.
Isteri Yerobeam berbuat demikian. Ia berkemas, pergi ke Silo dan masuk ke rumah Ahia. Ahia tidak dapat melihat lagi, sebab matanya sudah kabur karena ia sudah tua.
5 But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Look, Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he's ill. This is what you are to tell her, because she'll come in disguise.”
Tetapi TUHAN telah berfirman kepada Ahia: "Bahwasanya isteri Yerobeam datang untuk menanyakan kepadamu perihal anaknya, sebab anak itu sedang sakit. Begini-begini harus kaukatakan kepadanya." Ketika perempuan itu masuk, berbuatlah ia seolah-olah ia orang lain.
6 So as soon as Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why do you bother coming in disguise? I have been given some bad news for you.
Tetapi segera sesudah Ahia mendengar bunyi langkah perempuan itu, sementara melangkah masuk pintu, berkatalah ia: "Masuklah, hai isteri Yerobeam! Mengapakah engkau berbuat seolah-olah engkau orang lain? Aku disuruh menyampaikan pesan yang keras kepadamu.
7 Go and tell Jeroboam this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I picked you from the masses and I made you ruler over my people Israel.
Pergilah, katakan kepada Yerobeam: Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Aku telah meninggikan engkau dari tengah-tengah bangsa itu, dan mengangkat engkau menjadi raja atas umat-Ku Israel;
8 I took the kingdom from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and was totally committed to following me, only doing what was right in my sight.
Aku telah mengoyakkan kerajaan dari keluarga Daud dan memberikannya kepadamu, tetapi engkau tidak seperti hamba-Ku Daud yang tetap mentaati segala perintah-Ku dan mengikuti Aku dengan segenap hatinya dan hanya melakukan apa yang benar di mata-Ku.
9 You have done more evil than all those who lived before you. You have gone and made other gods for yourself, idols made of molten metal that made me angry. You have tossed me aside.
Sebab engkau telah melakukan perbuatan jahat lebih dari semua orang yang mendahului engkau dan telah membuat bagimu allah lain dan patung-patung tuangan, sehingga engkau menimbulkan sakit hati-Ku, bahkan engkau telah membelakangi Aku.
10 Now pay attention, because as a result of this I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will totally exterminate every one of your descendants in Israel, whether slave or free. I will burn the house of Jeroboam like a man burning refuse until it's all gone.
Maka Aku akan mendatangkan malapetaka kepada keluarga Yerobeam. Aku akan melenyapkan dari pada Yerobeam setiap orang laki-laki, baik yang tinggi maupun yang rendah kedudukannya di Israel. Aku akan menyapu keluarga Yerobeam seperti orang menyapu tahi sampai habis.
11 Those of Jeroboam's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds. For the Lord has spoken.
Setiap orang dari pada Yerobeam yang mati di kota akan dimakan anjing dan yang mati di padang akan dimakan burung yang di udara. Sebab TUHAN telah mengatakannya.
12 As for you, get up and go home. As soon as you arrive in the city, the child will die.
Tetapi bangunlah dan pulang ke rumahmu. Pada saat kakimu melangkah masuk kota, anak itu akan mati.
13 All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. He alone of Jeroboam's family will be buried in a tomb because only in him has the Lord, the God of Israel found anything good—of the whole family of Jeroboam.
Seluruh Israel akan meratapi dia dan menguburkan dia, sebab hanya dialah dari pada keluarga Yerobeam yang akan mendapat kubur, sebab di antara keluarga Yerobeam hanya padanyalah terdapat sesuatu yang baik di mata TUHAN, Allah Israel.
14 The Lord will choose for himself a king to rule over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam. This is starting to happen even now!
Dan TUHAN akan membangkitkan bagi-Nya seorang raja atas Israel yang akan melenyapkan keluarga Yerobeam--seperti kenyataan sekarang ini.
15 The Lord will strike Israel like a reed jerked to and fro by the water. He will pull up Israel by the roots from this good land that he gave their forefathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their pagan Asherah poles, making the Lord angry.
Kemudian TUHAN akan menghajar orang Israel, sehingga tergoyah-goyah seperti gelagah di air dan Ia akan menyentakkan mereka dari pada tanah yang baik ini yang telah diberikan-Nya kepada nenek moyang mereka; Ia akan menyerakkan mereka ke seberang sungai Efrat sana, oleh karena mereka telah membuat tiang-tiang berhala mereka dan dengan demikian menyakiti hati TUHAN.
16 He will abandon Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, those that he committed himself, and those he made Israel commit.”
Ia akan lepas tangan terhadap orang Israel oleh karena dosa-dosa yang telah dilakukan Yerobeam dan yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula."
17 Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she stepped through the doorway of her home, the boy died.
Sesudah itu bangkitlah isteri Yerobeam dan pergi, lalu sampailah ia ke Tirza. Pada saat ia masuk melangkahi ambang pintu rumah, matilah anak itu.
18 All of Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
Mereka menguburkannya, dan seluruh Israel meratapi dia sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya, nabi Ahia.
19 The rest of what Jeroboam did, how he engaged in warfare and how he reigned, they are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Yerobeam, bagaimana ia berperang dan bagaimana ia memerintah, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel.
20 Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and then he died. His son Nadab succeeded him as king.
Lamanya Yerobeam memerintah ada dua puluh dua tahun, kemudian ia mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya. Maka anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
21 Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. He was forty-one when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel where he would be honored. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
Adapun Rehabeam, anak Salomo, ia memerintah di Yehuda. Rehabeam berumur empat puluh satu tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja, dan tujuh belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem, kota yang dipilih TUHAN dari antara segala suku Israel untuk membuat nama-Nya tinggal di sana. Nama ibunya ialah Naama, seorang perempuan Amon.
22 Judah did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because of the sins they committed they made his jealous anger even greater than all their fathers had done.
Tetapi orang Yehuda melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN dan mereka menimbulkan cemburu-Nya dengan dosa yang diperbuat mereka, lebih dari pada segala yang dilakukan nenek moyang mereka.
23 They also set up for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Sebab merekapun juga mendirikan tempat-tempat pengorbanan dan tugu-tugu berhala dan tiang-tiang berhala di atas setiap bukit yang tinggi dan di bawah setiap pohon yang rimbun.
24 There were even cult prostitutes in the land. They followed all the disgusting practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
Bahkan ada pelacuran bakti di negeri itu. Mereka berlaku sesuai dengan segala perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalau TUHAN dari orang Israel.
25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam's reign, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem.
Tetapi pada tahun kelima zaman raja Rehabeam, majulah Sisak, raja Mesir, menyerang Yerusalem.
26 He took the treasures of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.
Ia merampas barang-barang perbendaharaan rumah TUHAN dan barang-barang perbendaharaan rumah raja; semuanya dirampasnya. Ia merampas juga segala perisai emas yang dibuat Salomo.
27 So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and handed them over to the captains of the guard to look after. They stood on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
Sebagai gantinya raja Rehabeam membuat perisai-perisai tembaga, yang dipercayakannya kepada pemimpin-pemimpin bentara yang menjaga pintu istana raja.
28 Whenever the king went to the Lord's Temple, the guards would carry the shields. Afterwards they returned them to the guardroom.
Setiap kali raja masuk ke rumah TUHAN, bentara-bentara membawa masuk perisai-perisai itu, dan mereka pula yang mengembalikannya ke kamar jaga para bentara.
29 The rest of what happened in Rehoboam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Rehabeam dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
30 Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
Dan terus-menerus perang ada antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam.
31 Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.
Kemudian Rehabeam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud. Nama ibunya ialah Naama, seorang perempuan Amon. Maka Abiam, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
