2 Kings 8
1 Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”
Elisa telah berbicara kepada perempuan yang anaknya dihidupkannya kembali, katanya: "Berkemaslah dan pergilah bersama-sama dengan keluargamu, dan tinggallah di mana saja engkau dapat menetap sebagai pendatang, sebab TUHAN telah mendatangkan kelaparan, yang pasti menimpa negeri ini tujuh tahun lamanya."
2 The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.
Lalu berkemaslah perempuan itu dan dilakukannyalah seperti perkataan abdi Allah itu. Ia pergi bersama-sama dengan keluarganya, lalu tinggal menetap sebagai pendatang di negeri orang Filistin tujuh tahun lamanya.
3 When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.
Dan setelah lewat ketujuh tahun itu, pulanglah perempuan itu dari negeri orang Filistin. Kemudian ia pergi mengadukan perihal rumahnya dan ladangnya kepada raja.
4 The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”
Raja sedang berbicara kepada Gehazi, bujang abdi Allah itu, katanya: "Cobalah ceritakan kepadaku tentang segala perbuatan besar yang dilakukan Elisa."
5 It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”
Sedang ia menceritakan kepada raja tentang Elisa menghidupkan anak yang sudah mati itu, tampaklah perempuan yang anaknya dihidupkan itu datang mengadukan perihal rumahnya dan ladangnya kepada raja. Lalu berkatalah Gehazi: "Ya tuanku raja! Inilah perempuan itu dan inilah anaknya yang dihidupkan Elisa."
6 The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”
Lalu raja bertanya-tanya, dan perempuan itu menceritakan semuanya kepadanya. Kemudian raja menugaskan seorang pegawai istana menyertai perempuan itu dengan pesan: "Pulangkanlah segala miliknya dan segala hasil ladang itu sejak ia meninggalkan negeri ini sampai sekarang."
7 Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”
Elisa masuk ke Damsyik, dan pada waktu itu Benhadad, raja Aram, sedang sakit. Ketika dikabarkan kepada raja: "Sudah datang abdi Allah ke mari,"
8 The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
berkatalah ia kepada Hazael: "Ambillah persembahan, pergilah menyongsong abdi Allah itu dan mintalah petunjuk TUHAN dengan perantaraannya: Sembuhkah aku dari penyakit ini?"
9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
Lalu pergilah Hazael menyongsong dia, diambilnyalah persembahan berupa segala barang yang indah-indah dari Damsyik, sebanyak muatan empat puluh ekor unta. Sesudah sampai, tampillah ia ke depan Elisa dan berkata: "Anakmu Benhadad, raja Aram, menyuruh aku menanyakan kepadamu: Apakah aku akan sembuh dari penyakit ini?"
10 “Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.
Jawab Elisa kepadanya: "Pergilah, katakanlah kepadanya: Pastilah engkau sembuh. Namun demikian, TUHAN telah memperlihatkan kepadaku, bahwa ia pasti mati dibunuh."
11 Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.
Elisa menatap dengan lama ke depan, lalu menangislah abdi Allah itu.
12 “Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”
Hazael berkata: "Mengapa tuanku menangis?" Jawab Elisa: "Sebab aku tahu bagaimana malapetaka yang akan kaulakukan kepada orang Israel: kotanya yang berkubu akan kaucampakkan ke dalam api, terunanya akan kaubunuh dengan pedang, bayinya akan kauremukkan dan perempuannya yang mengandung akan kaubelah."
13 “But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.
Sesudah itu berkatalah Hazael: "Tetapi apakah hambamu ini, yang tidak lain dari anjing saja, sehingga ia dapat melakukan hal sehebat itu?" Jawab Elisa: "TUHAN telah memperlihatkan kepadaku, bahwa engkau akan menjadi raja atas Aram."
14 Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”
Lalu ia pergi dan meninggalkan Elisa dan setelah ia sampai kepada tuannya, berkatalah raja kepadanya: "Apakah dikatakan Elisa kepadamu?" Jawabnya: "Ia berkata kepadaku, bahwa pastilah engkau sembuh."
15 But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.
Tetapi keesokan harinya ia mengambil sehelai selimut yang telah dicelupkannya ke dalam air dan membentangkannya ke atas muka raja. Jadi matilah raja, dan Hazael menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
16 Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.
Dalam tahun kelima zaman Yoram, anak Ahab raja Israel--pada waktu itu Yosafat adalah raja Yehuda--Yoram, anak Yosafat raja Yehuda menjadi raja.
17 He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
Ia berumur tiga puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan delapan tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
18 Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
Ia hidup menurut kelakuan raja-raja Israel seperti yang dilakukan keluarga Ahab, sebab yang menjadi isterinya adalah anak Ahab. Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.
19 But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.
Namun demikian, TUHAN tidak mau memusnahkan Yehuda oleh karena Daud, hamba-Nya, sesuai dengan yang dijanjikan-Nya kepada Daud, bahwa Ia hendak memberikan keturunan kepadanya dan kepada anak-anaknya untuk selama-lamanya.
20 During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
Pada zamannya memberontaklah Edom dan melepaskan diri dari kekuasaan Yehuda dan mereka mengangkat seorang raja atas mereka sendiri.
21 So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.
Maka majulah Yoram ke Zair bersama-sama dengan seluruh keretanya; pada waktu malam bangunlah ia, lalu bersama-sama dengan para panglima pasukan kereta ia menerobos barisan orang Edom yang mengepung dia, tetapi rakyatnya melarikan diri pulang ke kemahnya.
22 As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.
Demikianlah Edom memberontak dan terlepas dari kekuasaan Yehuda sampai sekarang ini. Lalu Libnapun memberontak pada masa itu juga.
23 The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoram dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
24 Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
Kemudian Yoram mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud. Maka Ahazia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
Dalam tahun kedua belas zaman Yoram, anak Ahab raja Israel, Ahazia, anak Yoram raja Yehuda, menjadi raja.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
Ia berumur dua puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan setahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Atalya, cucu Omri raja Israel.
27 Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.
Ia hidup menurut kelakuan keluarga Ahab dan ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN sama seperti keluarga Ahab, sebab ia adalah seorang menantu dari keluarga itu.
28 Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
Ia pergi bersama-sama Yoram bin Ahab untuk berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram, di Ramot-Gilead. Tetapi orang-orang Aram melukai Yoram.
29 and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
Kemudian pulanglah raja Yoram ke Yizreel, supaya diobati luka-lukanya yang ditimbulkan orang Aram di Rama pada waktu ia berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram. Dan Ahazia, anak Yoram raja Yehuda, pergi menjenguk Yoram bin Ahab di Yizreel, karena dia sakit.
