1 Kings 14

1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

Pada waktu itu Abia, anak Yerobeam, jatuh sakit.

2 And Jeroboam said to his wife: 'Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh; behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be 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 And take with thee ten loaves, and biscuits, and a cruse of honey, and go to him; he will tell thee what shall become of the child.'

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 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason 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 Now the LORD had said unto Ahijah: 'Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to inquire of thee concerning her son; for he is sick; thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it will be, when she cometh in, that she will feign herself to be another woman.'

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 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said: 'Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.

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, tell Jeroboam: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince 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 and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and yet thou hast not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments, and who followed Me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in Mine eyes;

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 but hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke Me, and hast cast Me behind thy back;

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 therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung, till it be 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 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat; for the LORD hath spoken it.

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 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thy house; and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

Tetapi bangunlah dan pulang ke rumahmu. Pada saat kakimu melangkah masuk kota, anak itu akan mati.

13 And all Israel shall make lamentation for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave; because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house 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 Moreover the LORD will raise Him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day. But what is it even then?

Dan TUHAN akan membangkitkan bagi-Nya seorang raja atas Israel yang akan melenyapkan keluarga Yerobeam--seperti kenyataan sekarang ini.

15 for the LORD will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He will root up Israel out of this good land, which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River; because they have made their Asherim, provoking the LORD.

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 And He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he hath sinned, and wherewith he hath made Israel to sin.'

Ia akan lepas tangan terhadap orang Israel oleh karena dosa-dosa yang telah dilakukan Yerobeam dan yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula."

17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah; and as she came to the threshold of the house, the child 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 And all Israel buried him, and made lamentation for him; according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of 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 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the 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 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

Lamanya Yerobeam memerintah ada dua puluh dua tahun, kemudian ia mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya. Maka anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there; and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

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 And Judah did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and they moved Him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that 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 For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every leafy 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 and there were also sodomites in the land; they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD drove out before the children of Israel.

Bahkan ada pelacuran bakti di negeri itu. Mereka berlaku sesuai dengan segala perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalau TUHAN dari orang Israel.

25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;

Tetapi pada tahun kelima zaman raja Rehabeam, majulah Sisak, raja Mesir, menyerang Yerusalem.

26 and he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all; and he took away all the shields of gold which 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 And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.

Sebagai gantinya raja Rehabeam membuat perisai-perisai tembaga, yang dipercayakannya kepada pemimpin-pemimpin bentara yang menjaga pintu istana raja.

28 And it was so, that as oft as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.

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 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the 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 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

Dan terus-menerus perang ada antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam.

31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

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.
