2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said unto him: 'Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
Pada waktu itu Nabi Elisa memanggil salah seorang dari antara para nabi yang dididiknya dan berkata, "Bersiap-siaplah untuk pergi ke Ramot di Gilead, dan bawalah botol yang berisi minyak zaitun ini.
2 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber.
Sesampainya engkau di sana carilah Yehu anak Yosafat dan cucu Nimsi. Ajaklah dia sendirian ke sebuah kamar,
3 Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say: Thus saith the LORD: I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.'
dan tuanglah minyak ini ke atas kepalanya, lalu katakan, 'TUHAN berkata bahwa Ia mengangkat engkau menjadi raja Israel.' Setelah melakukan hal itu, tinggalkanlah tempat itu secepat mungkin."
4 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
Nabi yang muda itu berangkat ke Ramot,
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said: 'I have an errand to thee, O captain.' And Jehu said: 'Unto which of us all?' And he said: 'To thee, O captain.'
lalu mendapati Yehu dan para panglima lainnya sedang bermusyawarah di sana. Nabi itu berkata, "Tuan, saya membawa berita untuk Tuan." Yehu menjawab, "Untuk siapa?" "Untuk Tuan sendiri," balas nabi itu.
6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
Kemudian mereka berdua masuk ke dalam rumah, dan nabi muda itu menuang minyak zaitun itu ke atas kepala Yehu lalu berkata, "TUHAN Allah Israel berkata, 'Aku melantik engkau menjadi raja atas umat-Ku Israel.
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
Engkau akan membinasakan keluarga tuanmu Ahab. Dengan demikian Aku menghukum Izebel yang telah membunuh nabi-nabi-Ku dan hamba-hamba-Ku yang lain.
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel.
Seluruh keluarga dan anak cucu Ahab harus mati. Setiap orang laki-laki baik tua maupun muda akan Kubinasakan.
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahijah.
Keluarganya akan Kuperlakukan seperti Kuperlakukan keluarga Yerobeam dan keluarga Baesa, raja-raja Israel.
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.' And he opened the door, and fled.
Izebel tidak akan dikuburkan. Mayatnya akan dimakan anjing di daerah Yizreel.'" Setelah mengucapkan semuanya itu, nabi muda itu keluar lalu lari.
11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord; and one said unto him: 'Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee?' And he said unto them: 'Ye know the man and what his talk was.'
Yehu kembali kepada teman-temannya, lalu mereka bertanya, "Ada kabar apa? Orang gila itu mau apa dengan engkau?" "Ah, kalian sudah tahu," jawab Yehu.
12 And they said: 'It is false; tell us now.' And he said: 'Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying: Thus saith the LORD: I have anointed thee king over Israel.'
"Tidak, kami tidak tahu!" jawab mereka. "Ayolah beritahukan!" Jawab Yehu, "Ia menyampaikan pesan TUHAN bahwa aku diangkat TUHAN menjadi raja Israel."
13 Then they hastened, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the horn, saying: 'Jehu is king.'
Segera teman-teman Yehu membuka jubah mereka dan membentangkannya di tangga di depan Yehu. Lalu mereka meniup trompet dan berteriak, "Yehu raja!"
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. — Now Joram had been guarding Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Aram;
Demikianlah Yehu bersekongkol melawan Raja Yoram yang pada waktu itu berada di Yizreel. Yoram ke sana untuk mendapat perawatan atas luka-lukanya yang diperolehnya di dalam pertempuran di Ramot melawan Hazael raja Siria. Yehu berkata kepada rekan-rekannya para panglima, "Jika kalian setuju saya menjadi raja, jagalah supaya jangan ada seorang pun yang keluar dari Ramot untuk memberitahukan kepada orang-orang di Yizreel."
15 but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Aram. — And Jehu said: 'If this be your mind, then let none escape and go forth out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.'
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
Setelah itu ia menaiki kereta perangnya lalu berangkat ke Yizreel. Pada waktu itu Yoram belum sembuh, dan Ahazia raja Yehuda ada di sana mengunjungi dia.
17 Now the watchman stood on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said: 'I see a company.' And Joram said: 'Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say: Is it peace?'
Ketika pengawal menara kota Yizreel melihat Yehu dan orang-orangnya datang, ia berseru, "Ada serombongan orang menuju ke sini!" Yoram menjawab, "Suruh seorang prajurit berkuda pergi menyelidiki apakah mereka itu kawan atau lawan."
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said: 'Thus saith the king: Is it peace?' And Jehu said: 'What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.' And the watchman told, saying: 'The messenger came to them, but he cometh not back.'
Dengan menunggang kuda, pergilah prajurit itu mendapatkan Yehu dan berkata, "Raja ingin tahu apakah Tuan datang sebagai kawan." "Itu bukan urusanmu!" jawab Yehu, "Ayo bergabunglah dengan aku." Pengawal menara itu melihat prajurit itu tiba pada rombongan itu, tetapi tidak kembali. Maka ia melaporkan hal itu,
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said: 'Thus saith the king: Is it peace?' And Jehu answered: 'What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.'
lalu dikirim seorang prajurit yang lain. Prajurit ini pun bertanya begitu juga kepada Yehu, dan sekali lagi Yehu menjawab, "Itu bukan urusanmu! Ayo bergabunglah dengan aku!"
20 And the watchman told, saying: 'He came even unto them, and cometh not back; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.'
Pengawal menara melaporkan lagi bahwa utusan itu telah sampai pada rombongan itu tetapi tidak kembali. Lalu ia menambahkan, "Mungkin pemimpin rombongan itu Yehu, sebab ia mengendarai kereta perangnya seperti orang gila."
21 And Joram said: 'Make ready.' And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
"Siapkan keretaku," perintah Raja Yoram. Kereta disiapkan, lalu Yoram dan Raja Ahazia berangkat menemui Yehu, masing-masing dalam keretanya sendiri. Mereka bertemu dengan Yehu di ladang bekas milik Nabot.
22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said: 'Is it peace, Jehu?' And he answered: 'What peace, so long as the harlotries of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?'
"Apakah kau datang sebagai kawan?" tanya Yoram kepada Yehu. Yehu menjawab, "Mana mungkin sebagai kawan, kalau di sini masih banyak dukun, dan masih ada penyembahan berhala yang dimulai oleh Izebel ibumu itu?"
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah: 'There is treachery, O Ahaziah.'
"Ini pengkhianatan, Ahazia!" teriak Yoram sambil membelokkan keretanya lalu melarikan diri.
24 And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and smote Joram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
Yehu menarik busurnya dengan sekuat tenaga dan memanah Yoram pada punggungnya menembus ke jantung. Yoram rebah, dan tewas di dalam keretanya.
25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain: 'Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD pronounced this burden against him:
Lalu kata Yehu kepada Bidkar ajudannya, "Apakah kau masih ingat, ketika kita mengendarai kuda mengikuti Ahab, ayah Yoram? Pada waktu itu TUHAN berkata kepada Ahab, 'Aku tahu siapa yang membunuh Nabot dan anak-anaknya kemarin, dan aku berjanji akan menghukum engkau di kebun ini juga.'" "Sebab itu," kata Yehu selanjutnya kepada ajudannya itu, "lemparkan mayat Yoram itu ke kebun Nabot, supaya terlaksana hukuman Allah atas dia."
26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plot, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plot of ground, according to the word of the LORD.'
27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said: 'Smite him also in the chariot'; and they smote him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
Ahazia melihat apa yang telah terjadi, maka ia melarikan keretanya menuju ke kota Bet-Hagan. Yehu mengejar dia dan berteriak kepada anak buahnya, "Bunuh dia juga!" Mereka memanah dia dan melukainya di jalan yang menuju ke Gur, dekat kota Yibleam. Tetapi ia berhasil melarikan diri sampai ke Megido, dan di situ ia mati.
28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
Pegawai-pegawainya mengambil jenazahnya dan membawanya dengan kereta kembali ke Yerusalem, lalu menguburkannya dalam pekuburan raja-raja di Kota Daud.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
Ahazia menjadi raja Yehuda ketika Raja Yoram anak Ahab telah memerintah Israel sebelas tahun.
30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.
Tibalah Yehu di Yizreel. Setelah Izebel mendengar tentang apa yang terjadi, ia menata rambutnya dan memakai celak, lalu menengok ke bawah dari jendela istana.
31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said: 'Is it peace, thou Zimri, thy master's murderer?'
Ketika Yehu masuk melalui pintu gerbang, Izebel berseru, "Hai Zimri, pembunuh! Mau apa kau ke sini?"
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said: 'Who is on my side? who?' And there looked out to him two or three officers.
Yehu menengadah ke arah jendela, dan berkata, "Siapa memihak pada saya?" Mendengar itu, dua tiga orang pegawai istana menengok ke bawah.
33 And he said: 'Throw her down.' So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and she was trodden under foot.
Yehu berkata kepada mereka, "Lemparkan dia ke bawah!" Maka mereka lemparkan Izebel ke bawah lalu ia digilas kereta sehingga darahnya mencurat ke tembok dan ke kuda-kuda kereta itu.
34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink; and he said: 'Look now after this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.'
Lalu Yehu masuk ke dalam istana dan makan. Kemudian ia berkata, "Perempuan itu terkutuk. Meskipun demikian, kuburkanlah juga mayatnya sebab ia putri raja."
35 And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
Tetapi ketika orang-orang pergi mengambil mayatnya untuk menguburkannya, mereka hanya menemukan tengkoraknya, dan tulang-tulang lengan serta kakinya.
36 Wherefore they came back, and told him. And he said: 'This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying: In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;
Setelah hal itu dilaporkan kepada Yehu, berkatalah ia, "Ini telah diramalkan oleh TUHAN, ketika Ia berkata begini melalui Elia hamba-Nya: 'Mayat Izebel akan dimakan anjing di daerah Yizreel,
37 and the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say: This is Jezebel.'
dan sisa-sisa mayatnya itu akan berserakan seperti kotoran binatang sehingga tak seorang pun dapat mengenali mayat siapa itu.'"
