2 Kings 13

1 In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu has reigned over Israel in Samaria, 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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and goes after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin—he did not turn aside from it,

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 YHWH burns against Israel, and He gives them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days.

Karena itu TUHAN marah kepada Israel sehingga Ia membiarkan Hazael raja Siria dan Benhadad anaknya, berkali-kali mengalahkan Israel.

4 And Jehoahaz appeases the face of YHWH, and YHWH listens to him, for He has seen the oppression of Israel, for the king of Aram has oppressed them—

Lalu Yoahas berdoa kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN mendengar doanya itu, karena TUHAN melihat betapa kejamnya raja Siria menindas orang Israel.

5 and YHWH gives a savior to Israel, and they go out from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwell in their tents as before;

TUHAN memberikan kepada orang Israel seorang pemimpin yang melepaskan mereka dari kekuasaan Siria sehingga mereka hidup tenteram lagi seperti semula.

6 only, they have not turned aside from the sins of the house of Jeroboam that he caused Israel to sin, therein they walked, and also, the Asherah has remained 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 did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram has destroyed them, and makes them as dust for 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 And the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written on the scroll 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 Jehoahaz lies with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and his son Joash reigns in his stead.

Ia meninggal dan dikuburkan di Samaria. Yoas anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz has reigned over Israel in Samaria, 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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, he has not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused 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 matters of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the scroll 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 lies with his fathers, and Jeroboam has sat on his throne, and Joash is 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 And Elisha has been sick with his sickness in which he dies, and Joash king of Israel comes down to him and weeps on his face, and says, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its 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 says to him, “Take bow and arrows”: and he takes bow and arrows for himself.

"Ambillah busur dan anak panah!" perintah Elisa kepadanya. Yoas mengambilnya,

16 And he says to the king of Israel, “Place your hand on the bow”; and he places his hand, and Elisha puts his hands on the hands of the king,

lalu Elisa menyuruh dia bersiap-siap untuk memanah. Raja pun bersiap, dan Elisa meletakkan tangannya di atas tangan raja.

17 and says, “Open the window eastward”; and he opens, and Elisha says, “Shoot,” and he shoots; and he says, “An arrow of salvation from YHWH, and an arrow of salvation against Aram, and you have struck Aram, in Aphek, until consuming.”

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 says, “Take the arrows,” and he takes; and he says to the king of Israel, “Strike to the earth”; and he strikes three times, and stays.

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 is angry against him and says, “By striking five or six times then you had struck Aram until consuming; but now you [only] strike Aram 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 dies, and they bury him, and troops of Moab come into 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 comes to pass, they are burying a man, and behold, they have seen the troop, and cast the man into the grave of Elisha, and the man goes and comes against the bones of Elisha, and lives, and rises 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 And Hazael king of Aram has oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz,

Sepanjang pemerintahan Yoas, Hazael raja Siria menindas orang Israel.

23 and YHWH favors them, and pities them, and turns to them for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and has not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast them from His presence as yet.

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 Hazael king of Aram dies, and his son Ben-Hadad reigns in his stead,

Kemudian Hazael raja Siria meninggal, dan Benhadad anaknya menjadi raja.

25 and Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turns and takes the cities out of the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of his father Jehoahaz in war; Joash has struck him three times, and he brings back 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.
