2 Kings 1
1 And Moab transgresses against Israel after the death of Ahab,
Setelah Ahab raja Israel meninggal, negeri Moab memberontak terhadap Israel.
2 and Ahaziah falls through the lattice in his upper chamber that [is] in Samaria, and is sick, and sends messengers, and says to them, “Go, inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron if I recover from this sickness.”
Pada suatu hari Raja Ahazia dari Israel jatuh dari serambi di tingkat atas istananya di Samaria, sehingga ia luka parah. Maka ia mengutus orang untuk bertanya kepada Baal-Zebub, dewa kota Ekron di Filistin, apakah ia akan sembuh atau tidak.
3 And a messenger of YHWH has spoken to Elijah the Tishbite, “Rise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and speak to them, Is it because there is not a God in Israel—you are going to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron?
Tetapi malaikat TUHAN menyuruh Elia, nabi dari Tisbe, pergi menemui utusan-utusan Raja Ahazia itu untuk berkata, "Apakah di Israel tidak ada Allah sehingga kalian mau pergi meminta petunjuk kepada Baal-Zebub, dewa kota Ekron itu?
4 And therefore, thus said YHWH: The bed to where you have gone up, you do not come down from it, for you certainly die”; and Elijah goes on.
Beritahukanlah kepada raja bahwa TUHAN berkata begini, 'Engkau tidak akan sembuh, engkau akan mati!'" Setelah Elia melaksanakan perintah TUHAN itu,
5 And the messengers return to him, and he says to them, “What [is] this—you have turned back!”
kembalilah utusan-utusan itu kepada raja, lalu raja bertanya, "Kenapa kalian kembali?"
6 And they say to him, “A man has come up to meet us and says to us, Go, return to the king who sent you, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Is it because there is not a God in Israel—you are sending to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron? Therefore, the bed to where you have gone up, you do not come down from it, for you certainly die.”
Mereka menjawab, "Seorang laki-laki datang menemui kami, dan menyuruh kami kembali untuk mengatakan kepada Baginda bahwa TUHAN berkata begini kepada Baginda, 'Apakah di Israel tidak ada Allah, sehingga engkau menyuruh meminta petunjuk kepada Baal-Zebub, dewa kota Ekron? Engkau tidak akan sembuh, engkau akan mati!'"
7 And he says to them, “What [is] the fashion of the man who has come up to meet you, and speaks these words to you?”
"Bagaimana rupa orang itu?" tanya raja.
8 And they say to him, “A hairy man, and a girdle of skin girt around his loins”; and he says, “He [is] Elijah the Tishbite.”
"Jubah dan ikat pinggangnya dari kulit," jawab mereka. "O, itu Elia!" kata raja.
9 And he sends to him a head of fifty and his fifty, and he goes up to him (and behold, he is sitting on the top of the hill), and he speaks to him, “O man of God, the king has spoken, Come down.”
Lalu ia menyuruh seorang perwira bersama lima puluh orang anak buahnya pergi menangkap Elia. Perwira itu pergi lalu menemukan Elia sedang duduk di sebuah bukit. "Hai, hamba Allah," kata perwira itu, "raja memerintahkan engkau turun!"
10 And Elijah answers and speaks to the head of the fifty, “And if I [am] a man of God, fire comes down from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty”; and fire comes down from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty.
"Kalau saya ini memang hamba Allah," jawab Elia, "hendaklah api turun dari langit dan membakar habis engkau serta semua anak buahmu!" Saat itu juga turunlah api dan membakar perwira itu dengan kelima puluh orang anak buahnya.
11 And he turns and sends to him another head of fifty and his fifty, and he answers and speaks to him, “O man of God, thus said the king: Hurry, come down.”
Lalu raja mengutus seorang perwira lain bersama lima puluh orang anak buahnya juga. Mereka pergi dan berkata kepada Elia, "Hai, hamba Allah, raja memerintahkan engkau turun sekarang ini juga!"
12 And Elijah answers and speaks to them, “If I [am] a man of God, fire comes down from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty”; and fire of God comes down from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty.
"Kalau saya memang hamba Allah," jawab Elia, "hendaklah api turun dari langit dan membakar habis engkau serta semua anak buahmu!" Saat itu juga turunlah api dari Allah dan membakar habis perwira itu dengan kelima puluh orang anak buahnya.
13 And he turns and sends a third head of fifty and his fifty, and the third head of fifty goes up, and comes in, and bows on his knees before Elijah, and makes supplication to him, and speaks to him, “O man of God, please let my soul and the soul of your servants—these fifty—be precious in your eyes.
Sekali lagi raja mengutus seorang perwira bersama lima puluh orang anak buahnya. Perwira itu naik ke bukit dan setelah sampai di depan Elia ia berlutut dan berkata, "Ampunilah kami, ya hamba Allah! Kasihanilah saya dan semua anak buah saya ini. Janganlah kami dibunuh!
14 Behold, fire has come down from the heavens and consumes the two heads of the former fifties and their fifties; and now, let my soul be precious in your eyes.”
Dua perwira yang lain bersama anak buah mereka mati dimakan api dari langit, tetapi saya mohon, kasihanilah saya!"
15 And a messenger of YHWH speaks to Elijah, “Go down with him, do not be afraid of him”; and he rises and goes down with him to the king,
Pada saat itu juga berkatalah malaikat TUHAN kepada Elia, "Jangan takut! Ikutlah dia turun dari bukit ini." Karena itu pergilah Elia bersama perwira itu kepada raja.
16 and speaks to him, “Thus said YHWH: Because that you have sent messengers to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron—is it because there is not a God in Israel to inquire of His word? Therefore, the bed to where you have gone up—you do not come down from it, for you certainly die.”
Lalu kata Elia kepada raja, "TUHAN berkata, 'Engkau menyuruh orang meminta petunjuk kepada Baal-Zebub dewa kota Ekron seakan-akan di Israel tidak ada Allah yang dapat ditanyai. Karena itu engkau tidak akan sembuh, engkau akan mati!'"
17 And he dies, according to the word of YHWH that Elijah spoke, and Jehoram reigns in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, for he had no son.
Maka matilah Ahazia seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN melalui Elia. Karena Ahazia tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, maka Yoram saudaranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia. Itu terjadi pada tahun kedua pemerintahan Yehoram anak Yosafat, raja Yehuda.
18 And the rest of the matters of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Kisah lainnya mengenai apa yang dilakukan Raja Ahazia dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
