2 Kings 15

1 IN the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

Pada tahun kedua puluh tujuh pemerintahan Raja Yerobeam II atas Israel, Uzia anak Amazia menjadi raja Yehuda.

2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

Pada waktu itu ia berumur 16 tahun dan memerintah di Yerusalem 52 tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Yekholya, wanita Yerusalem.

3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;

Seperti ayahnya, Uzia pun melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN.

4 Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.

Tetapi sayang, ia tidak memusnahkan tempat-tempat penyembahan dewa, sehingga rakyat tetap mempersembahkan kurban dan membakar dupa di situ.

5 And the Lord smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the house, judging the people of the land.

TUHAN membuat dia menderita penyakit kulit yang mengerikan, dan sampai ia meninggal, penyakitnya itu tidak sembuh-sembuh. Ia diasingkan di sebuah rumah dan dibebaskan dari tugas-tugasnya. Yotam putranya memerintah rakyat sebagai wakilnya.

6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Uzia dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.

7 So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

Uzia meninggal dan dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja di Kota Daud. Yotam putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

8 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

Pada tahun ketiga puluh delapan pemerintahan Raja Uzia atas Yehuda, Zakharia anak Yerobeam II menjadi raja Israel dan memerintah di Samaria enam bulan lamanya.

9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

Sama seperti raja-raja yang memerintah sebelumnya, ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN. Ia mengikuti kejahatan Raja Yerobeam I, yang telah membuat Israel berdosa.

10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

Salum anak Yabes berkomplot melawan Raja Zakharia, dan membunuh dia di Yibleam, lalu menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

11 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Dengan demikian terjadilah apa yang telah dijanjikan TUHAN kepada Raja Yehu bahwa anak cucunya sampai keturunan keempat akan menjadi raja atas Israel. Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Zakharia, dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.

12 This was the word of the Lord which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.

13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.

Pada tahun ketiga puluh sembilan pemerintahan Raja Uzia atas Yehuda, Salum anak Yabes menjadi raja Israel. Ia memerintah di Samaria hanya satu bulan

14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

karena Menahem anak Gadi pergi dari Tirza ke Samaria, lalu membunuh Salum, dan menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Dalam perjalanannya dari Tirza, Menahem menghancurkan sama sekali kota Tifsah dan daerah-daerah sekitarnya serta membinasakan seluruh penduduknya. Karena kota itu tidak mau menyerah kepadanya, maka ia membelah perut wanita-wanita hamil di kota itu. Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Salum, termasuk persekongkolannya, dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.

16 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.

17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.

Pada tahun ketiga puluh sembilan pemerintahan Raja Uzia atas Yehuda, Menahem anak Gadi menjadi raja Israel, dan memerintah di Samaria 10 tahun lamanya.

18 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

Seumur hidupnya ia berdosa kepada TUHAN karena menuruti kejahatan Raja Yerobeam I, yang membuat orang Israel berdosa.

19 And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

Ketika Pul raja Asyur menyerang Israel, Menahem memberikan kepadanya 34.000 kilogram perak supaya ia membantu mengukuhkan kekuasaan Menahem atas Israel.

20 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.

Caranya Menahem memperoleh uang itu ialah dengan memaksa orang-orang kaya di Israel memberi lima puluh uang perak setiap orang. Karena itu Pul meninggalkan negeri itu dan pulang ke negerinya sendiri.

21 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

22 And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.

Ia meninggal dan dikuburkan, lalu Pekahya anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.

Pada tahun kelima puluh pemerintahan Raja Uzia atas Yehuda, Pekahya anak Menahem menjadi raja Israel dan memerintah di Samaria dua tahun lamanya.

24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

Ia berdosa kepada TUHAN karena menuruti kejahatan Raja Yerobeam I, yang membuat orang Israel berdosa.

25 But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room.

Salah seorang dari para perwiranya, yaitu Pekah anak Remalya, berkomplot dengan 50 orang dari Gilead. Lalu dalam sebuah benteng di istana di Samaria mereka membunuh Pekahya bersama dua orang lainnya yang bernama Argob dan Arye. Kemudian Pekah menjadi raja menggantikan Pekahya.

28 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

Ia berdosa kepada TUHAN karena mengikuti kejahatan Raja Yerobeam I yang membuat Israel berdosa.

29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.

Pada masa pemerintahan Pekah, Tiglat-Pileser raja Asyur merebut kota Iyon, Abel-Bet-Maakha, Yanoah, Kedes, Hazor, daerah Gilead, Galilea dan Naftali. Penduduknya diangkutnya juga sebagai tawanan ke Asyur.

30 And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.

Pada tahun kedua pemerintahan Raja Pekah anak Remalya atas Israel, Yotam anak Uzia menjadi raja Yehuda.

33 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

Pada waktu itu ia berumur 25 tahun dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 16 tahun lamanya. Ibunya ialah Yerusa anak Zadok.

34 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

Yotam melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN, seperti Uzia ayahnya.

35 Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the Lord.

Tetapi sayang, tempat-tempat penyembahan dewa tidak dimusnahkannya sehingga rakyat terus saja mempersembahkan kurban dan membakar dupa di situ. Yotamlah yang membangun Pintu Gerbang Utara di Rumah TUHAN.

36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Pada masa pemerintahan Yotam, TUHAN mulai mengirim Rezin raja Siria dan Pekah raja Israel untuk menyerang Yehuda. Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yotam dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.

37 In those days the Lord began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

Ia meninggal dan dikuburkan di pekuburan raja-raja di Kota Daud. Ahas anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
