2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
Dalam tahun kedua zaman Yoas bin Yoahas, raja Israel, Amazia, anak Yoas raja Yehuda menjadi raja.
2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua puluh sembilan tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yoadan, dari Yerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.
Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, hanya bukan seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya. Ia berbuat tepat seperti yang diperbuat Yoas, ayahnya.
4 Nevertheless the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.
Namun demikian, bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidaklah dijauhkan. Bangsa itu masih mempersembahkan dan membakar korban di bukit-bukit itu.
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.
Segera sesudah kuasa kerajaan itu kokoh di tangannya, dibunuhnyalah pegawai-pegawainya yang telah membunuh raja, yaitu ayahnya.
6 But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Tetapi anak-anak para pembunuh itu tidak dihukum mati olehnya, seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat Musa, di mana TUHAN telah memberi perintah: "Janganlah ayah dihukum mati karena anaknya, janganlah juga anak dihukum mati karena ayahnya, melainkan setiap orang harus dihukum mati karena dosanya sendiri."
7 He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.
Ia mengalahkan Edom di Lembah Asin, sepuluh ribu orang banyaknya, dan merebut Sela dalam peperangan itu, lalu dinamainyalah kota itu Yokteel; begitulah sampai hari ini.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
Pada waktu itu Amazia menyuruh utusan kepada Yoas bin Yoahas bin Yehu, raja Israel, mengatakan: "Mari kita mengadu tenaga!"
9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
Tetapi Yoas, raja Israel, menyuruh orang kepada Amazia, raja Yehuda, mengatakan: "Rumput duri yang di gunung Libanon mengirim pesan kepada pohon aras yang di gunung Libanon, bunyinya: Berikanlah anakmu perempuan kepada anakku laki-laki menjadi isterinya. Tetapi binatang-binatang hutan yang ada di gunung Libanon itu berjalan lewat dari sana, lalu menginjak rumput duri itu.
10 You have indeed smitten Edom, and your heart has lifted you up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why should you meddle to your hurt, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?
Memang engkau telah mengalahkan Edom, sebab itu engkau menjadi tinggi hati. Cukuplah bagimu mendapat kehormatan itu dan tinggallah di rumahmu. Untuk apa engkau menantang malapetaka, sehingga engkau jatuh dan Yehuda bersama-sama engkau?"
11 But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Tetapi Amazia tidak mau mendengarkan, sebab itu majulah Yoas, raja Israel, lalu mengadu tenagalah mereka, ia dan Amazia, raja Yehuda, di Bet-Semes yang termasuk wilayah Yehuda.
12 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.
Yehuda terpukul kalah oleh Israel, sehingga masing-masing lari ke kemahnya.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Yoas, raja Israel menangkap Amazia, raja Yehuda, anak Yoas bin Ahazia, di Bet-Semes. Lalu Yoas masuk ke Yerusalem, dan membongkar tembok Yerusalem dari Pintu Gerbang Efraim sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Sudut, empat ratus hasta panjangnya.
14 And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
Sesudah itu ia mengambil segala emas dan perak dan segala perkakas yang terdapat dalam rumah TUHAN dan dalam perbendaharaan istana raja, juga orang-orang sandera, kemudian pulanglah ia ke Samaria.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoas, apa yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya dan bagaimana ia berperang melawan Amazia, raja Yehuda, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his position.
Kemudian Yoas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di Samaria di samping raja-raja Israel. Maka Yerobeam, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
17 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
Amazia bin Yoas, raja Yehuda, masih hidup lima belas tahun lamanya sesudah matinya Yoas bin Yoahas, raja Israel.
18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Selebihnya dari riwayat Amazia, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
19 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
Di Yerusalem orang mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia, sebab itu larilah ia ke Lakhis. Tetapi mereka menyuruh mengejar dia ke Lakhis, lalu dibunuhlah dia di sana.
20 And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
Diangkutlah dia dengan kuda, lalu dikuburkan di Yerusalem di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
Segenap bangsa Yehuda mengambil Azarya, yang masih berumur enam belas tahun dan mengangkat dia menjadi raja menggantikan ayahnya, Amazia.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
Ia memperkuat Elat dan mengembalikannya kepada Yehuda, sesudah raja mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years.
Dalam tahun kelima belas zaman Amazia bin Yoas, raja Yehuda, Yerobeam, anak Yoas, raja Israel, menjadi raja di Samaria. Ia memerintah empat puluh satu tahun lamanya.
24 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN. Ia tidak menjauh dari segala dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.
25 He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.
Ia mengembalikan daerah Israel, dari jalan masuk ke Hamat sampai ke Laut Araba sesuai dengan firman TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang telah diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya, nabi Yunus bin Amitai dari Gat-Hefer.
26 For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
Sebab TUHAN telah melihat betapa pahitnya kesengsaraan orang Israel itu: sudah habis lenyap baik yang tinggi maupun yang rendah kedudukannya, dan tidak ada penolong bagi orang Israel.
27 And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
Tetapi TUHAN tidak mengatakan bahwa Ia akan menghapuskan nama Israel dari kolong langit; jadi Ia menolong mereka dengan perantaraan Yerobeam bin Yoas.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Selebihnya dari riwayat Yerobeam dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bagaimana ia berperang, dan bagaimana ia mengembalikan Damsyik dan Hamat-Yehuda ke dalam Israel, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his position.
Kemudian Yerobeam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, raja-raja Israel. Maka Zakharia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
