2 Kings 13
1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Achazyahu the king of Judah became Jehoachaz the son of Jehu king over Israel in Samaria [for] seventeen years.
Pada tahun kedua puluh tiga pemerintahan Yoas anak Ahazia atas Yehuda, Yoahas anak Yehu menjadi raja Israel, dan ia memerintah di Samaria tujuh belas tahun lamanya.
2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: he departed not therefrom.
Seperti Raja Yerobeam yang memerintah sebelum dia, Yoahas berdosa kepada TUHAN dan menyebabkan orang Israel berdosa juga. Ia tidak pernah meninggalkan perbuatan-perbuatannya yang jahat.
3 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he gave them up into the hand of Chazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, all the time.
Karena itu TUHAN marah kepada Israel sehingga Ia membiarkan Hazael raja Siria dan Benhadad anaknya, berkali-kali mengalahkan Israel.
4 And Jehoachaz besought the Lord; and the Lord hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
Lalu Yoahas berdoa kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN mendengar doanya itu, karena TUHAN melihat betapa kejamnya raja Siria menindas orang Israel.
5 (And the Lord gave Israel a deliverer, so that they came out from under the power of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times past.
TUHAN memberikan kepada orang Israel seorang pemimpin yang melepaskan mereka dari kekuasaan Siria sehingga mereka hidup tenteram lagi seperti semula.
6 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin, therein the people walked: and the Asherah also remained standing in Samaria.)
Meskipun begitu orang Israel tidak berhenti melakukan dosa-dosa yang dimulai oleh Raja Yerobeam. Mereka terus melakukan dosa-dosa itu, dan membiarkan patung Dewi Asyera tetap berada di Samaria.
7 For he had left of people to Jehoachaz none but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand men on foot; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust at threshing.
Angkatan perang Israel sudah dimusnahkan oleh raja Siria sehingga Raja Yoahas hanya mempunyai 50 tentara berkuda, 10 kereta perang, dan 10.000 prajurit.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoahas dan semua jasa kepahlawanannya dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
9 And Jehoachaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son became king in his stead.
Ia meninggal dan dikuburkan di Samaria. Yoas anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash the king of Judah became Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz king over Israel in Samaria, [for] sixteen years.
Pada tahun ketiga puluh tujuh pemerintahan Raja Yoas atas Yehuda, Yoas anak Yoahas menjadi raja Israel dan memerintah di Samaria 16 tahun lamanya.
11 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: therein he walked.
Ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN karena menuruti kejahatan Raja Yerobeam yang telah menyebabkan orang Israel berbuat dosa.
12 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds wherewith he fought against Amazyah the king of Judah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoas, termasuk kepahlawanannya dalam pertempuran melawan Amazia raja Yehuda, dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
13 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jerobo'am sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Yoas meninggal dan dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja di Samaria. Yerobeam II anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
14 Now Elisha' was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he had to die. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen.
Pada suatu waktu Nabi Elisa sakit keras, dan Raja Yoas datang menengok dia. Ketika dilihatnya Elisa hampir mati, raja itu menangis dan berkata, "Bapakku, Bapakku, pembela Israel yang besar!"
15 And Elisha' said unto him, Fetch a bow and arrows. And he fetched unto him a bow and arrows.
"Ambillah busur dan anak panah!" perintah Elisa kepadanya. Yoas mengambilnya,
16 And he said to the king of Israel, Place thy hand upon the bow. And he placed his hand [upon it]: and Elisha' laid his hands upon the king's hands.
lalu Elisa menyuruh dia bersiap-siap untuk memanah. Raja pun bersiap, dan Elisa meletakkan tangannya di atas tangan raja.
17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha', Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of victory from the Lord, and the arrow of victory over Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till they be consumed.
Kemudian sesuai dengan perintah nabi itu, raja membuka jendela yang menghadap ke Siria. "Lepaskanlah panahmu!" perintah Elisa. Segera setelah raja melepaskan panah itu, nabi itu berseru, "Engkaulah panah TUHAN. Dengan panah itu TUHAN akan mengalahkan Siria. Engkau akan berperang melawan orang Siria di Afek sampai engkau mengalahkan mereka."
18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he struck three times, and stopped.
Elisa menyuruh Raja Yoas mengambil panah-panahnya yang lain dan memukulkannya pada tanah. Raja memukul tanah tiga kali, lalu berhenti.
19 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou shouldst have struck five or six times; then wouldst thou have smitten the Syrians till they had been consumed: whereas now thou shalt smite the Syrians three times.
Elisa marah, dan berkata, "Seharusnya engkau memukul sampai lima atau enam kali, maka engkau dapat menghancurleburkan bangsa Siria. Tetapi sekarang engkau akan mengalahkannya hanya tiga kali."
20 And Elisha' died, and they buried him. And the predatory bands of Moabites frequently invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
Tak lama kemudian Elisa meninggal dan dikuburkan. Pada masa itu gerombolan-gerombolan Moab biasanya menyerang negeri Israel sekali setahun.
21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they saw the band; and they cast down the man into the sepulchre of Elisha': and as the man came, and touched the bones of Elisha', he revived, and rose up on his feet.
Pada suatu hari ketika beberapa orang sedang menguburkan orang mati, tiba-tiba mereka melihat gerombolan Moab datang. Langsung mereka melemparkan saja mayat itu ke dalam kuburan Elisa lalu lari. Begitu mayat itu tersentuh pada kerangka Elisa, mayat itu hidup kembali lalu berdiri.
22 But Chazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoachaz.
Sepanjang pemerintahan Yoas, Hazael raja Siria menindas orang Israel.
23 And the Lord became gracious unto them, and had mercy on them, and turned his regard unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he cast them not off from his presence even until now.
Tetapi TUHAN kasihan kepada umat-Nya dan mengampuni mereka. Ia tidak mau membiarkan mereka dimusnahkan melainkan menolong mereka, demi perjanjian-Nya dengan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub. Sampai sekarang tidak pernah Ia melupakan umat-Nya.
24 And Chazael the king of Syria died: and Ben-hadad his son became king in his stead.
Kemudian Hazael raja Siria meninggal, dan Benhadad anaknya menjadi raja.
25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz took again the cities out of the power of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, which he had taken out of the power of Jehoachaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
Lalu Yoas raja Israel mengalahkan Benhadad tiga kali dan mengambil kembali kota-kota yang telah direbut oleh Benhadad pada masa pemerintahan Raja Yoahas ayah Yoas.
