2 Kings 6
1 And sons of the prophet say to Elisha, “Now behold, the place where we are dwelling before you is too narrow for us;
Pada suatu hari berkatalah rombongan nabi kepada Elisa: "Cobalah lihat, tempat tinggal kami di dekatmu ini adalah terlalu sesak bagi kami.
2 please let us go to the Jordan, and we each take one beam from there, and we make a place there for ourselves to dwell there”; and he says, “Go.”
Baiklah kami pergi ke sungai Yordan dan masing-masing mengambil satu balok dari sana, supaya kami membuat tempat tinggal untuk kami." Jawab Elisa: "Pergilah!"
3 And the one says, “Please be willing, and go with your servants”; and he says, “I go.”
Lalu berkatalah seorang: "Silakan, ikutlah dengan hamba-hambamu ini." Jawabnya: "Baik aku akan ikut."
4 And he goes with them, and they come to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,
Maka ikutlah ia dengan mereka. Setelah mereka sampai di sungai Yordan, merekapun menebang pohon-pohon.
5 and it comes to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron [ax head] has fallen into the water, and he cries and says, “Aah! My lord, for it was borrowed!”
Dan terjadilah, ketika seorang sedang menumbangkan sebatang pohon, jatuhlah mata kapaknya ke dalam air. Lalu berteriak-teriaklah ia: "Wahai tuanku! Itu barang pinjaman!"
6 And the man of God says, “To where has it fallen?” And he shows him the place, and he cuts a stick, and casts [it] there, and causes the iron to swim,
Tetapi berkatalah abdi Allah: "Ke mana jatuhnya?" Lalu orang itu menunjukkan tempat itu kepadanya. Kemudian Elisa memotong sepotong kayu, lalu dilemparkannya ke sana, maka timbullah mata kapak itu dibuatnya.
7 and says, “Raise [it] up for yourself”; and he puts forth his hand and takes it.
Lalu katanya: "Ambillah." Orang itu mengulurkan tangannya dan mengambilnya.
8 And the king of Aram has been fighting against Israel, and takes counsel with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place [is] my encamping.”
Raja negeri Aram sedang berperang melawan Israel. Ia berunding dengan pegawai-pegawainya, lalu katanya: "Ke tempat ini dan itu haruslah kamu turun menghadang."
9 And the man of God sends to the king of Israel, saying, “Take heed of passing by this place, for the Arameans are coming down there”;
Tetapi abdi Allah menyuruh orang kepada raja Israel mengatakan: "Awas, jangan lewat dari tempat itu, sebab orang Aram sudah turun menghadang ke sana."
10 and the king of Israel sends to the place of which the man of God spoke to him, and warned him, and he is preserved there not [just] once and not [just] twice.
Sebab itu raja Israel menyuruh orang-orang ke tempat yang disebutkan abdi Allah kepadanya. Demikianlah Elisa memperingatkan kepadanya, supaya berawas-awas di sana, bukan sekali dua kali saja.
11 And the heart of the king of Aram is tossed about concerning this thing, and he calls to his servants and says to them, “Do you not declare to me who of us [is] for the king of Israel?”
Lalu mengamuklah hati raja Aram tentang hal itu, maka dipanggilnyalah pegawai-pegawainya, katanya kepada mereka: "Tidakkah dapat kamu memberitahukan kepadaku siapa dari kita memihak kepada raja Israel?"
12 And one of his servants says, “No, my lord, O king, for Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declares to the king of Israel the words that you speak in the inner part of your bed-chamber.”
Tetapi berkatalah salah seorang pegawainya: "Tidak tuanku raja, melainkan Elisa, nabi yang di Israel, dialah yang memberitahukan kepada raja Israel tentang perkataan yang diucapkan oleh tuanku di kamar tidurmu."
13 And he says, “Go and see where he [is], and I send and take him”; and it is declared to him, saying, “Behold—in Dothan.”
Berkatalah raja: "Pergilah melihat, di mana dia, supaya aku menyuruh orang menangkap dia." Lalu diberitahukanlah kepadanya: "Dia ada di Dotan."
14 And he sends horses and chariot, and a heavy force there, and they come in by night, and go around against the city.
Maka dikirimnyalah ke sana kuda serta kereta dan tentara yang besar. Sampailah mereka pada waktu malam, lalu mengepung kota itu.
15 And the servant of the man of God rises early, and goes out, and behold, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man says to him, “Aah! My lord, how do we do?”
Ketika pelayan abdi Allah bangun pagi-pagi dan pergi ke luar, maka tampaklah suatu tentara dengan kuda dan kereta ada di sekeliling kota itu. Lalu berkatalah bujangnya itu kepadanya: "Celaka tuanku! Apakah yang akan kita perbuat?"
16 And he says, “Do not fear, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they who [are] with them.”
Jawabnya: "Jangan takut, sebab lebih banyak yang menyertai kita dari pada yang menyertai mereka."
17 And Elisha prays and says, “YHWH, please open his eyes, and he sees”; and YHWH opens the eyes of the young man, and he sees, and behold, the hill is full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
Lalu berdoalah Elisa: "Ya TUHAN: Bukalah kiranya matanya, supaya ia melihat." Maka TUHAN membuka mata bujang itu, sehingga ia melihat. Tampaklah gunung itu penuh dengan kuda dan kereta berapi sekeliling Elisa.
18 And they come down to it, and Elisha prays to YHWH and says, “Please strike this nation with blindness”; and He strikes them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
Ketika orang-orang Aram itu turun mendatangi dia, berdoalah Elisa kepada TUHAN: "Butakanlah kiranya mata orang-orang ini." Maka dibutakan-Nyalah mata mereka, sesuai dengan doa Elisa.
19 And Elisha says to them, “This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you to the man whom you seek”; and he leads them to Samaria.
Kemudian berkatalah Elisa kepada mereka: "Bukan ini jalannya dan bukan ini kotanya. Ikutlah aku, maka aku akan mengantarkan kamu kepada orang yang kamu cari." Lalu diantarkannya mereka ke Samaria.
20 And it comes to pass, at their coming to Samaria, that Elisha says, “YHWH, open the eyes of these, and they see”; and YHWH opens their eyes, and they see, and behold, [they are] in the midst of Samaria!
Segera sesudah mereka sampai ke Samaria berkatalah Elisa: "Ya TUHAN, bukalah mata orang-orang ini, supaya mereka melihat." Lalu TUHAN membuka mata mereka, sehingga mereka melihat, dan heran, mereka ada di tengah-tengah Samaria.
21 And the king of Israel says to Elisha at his seeing them, “My father, do I strike, do I strike?”
Lalu bertanyalah raja Israel kepada Elisa, tatkala melihat mereka: "Kubunuhkah mereka, bapak?"
22 And he says, “You do not strike; are you striking those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and go to their lord.”
Tetapi jawabnya: "Jangan! Biasakah kaubunuh yang kautawan dengan pedangmu dan dengan panahmu? Tetapi hidangkanlah makanan dan minuman di depan mereka, supaya mereka makan dan minum, lalu pulang kepada tuan mereka."
23 And he prepares great provision for them, and they eat and drink, and he sends them away, and they go to their lord: and troops of Aram have not added to come into the land of Israel anymore.
Disediakannyalah bagi mereka jamuan yang besar, maka makan dan minumlah mereka. Sesudah itu dibiarkannyalah mereka pulang kepada tuan mereka. Sejak itu tidak ada lagi gerombolan-gerombolan Aram memasuki negeri Israel.
24 And it comes to pass afterward, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathers all his camp, and goes up, and lays siege to Samaria,
Sesudah itu Benhadad, raja Aram, menghimpunkan seluruh tentaranya, lalu maju mengepung Samaria.
25 and there is a great famine in Samaria, and behold, they are laying siege to it, until the head of a donkey is at eighty pieces of silver, and a forth of the cab of dove’s dung at five pieces of silver.
Maka terjadilah kelaparan hebat di Samaria selama mereka mengepungnya, sehingga sebuah kepala keledai berharga delapan puluh syikal perak dan seperempat kab tahi merpati berharga lima syikal perak.
26 And it comes to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on the wall, and a woman has cried to him, saying, “Save, my lord, O king.”
Suatu kali ketika raja Israel berjalan di atas tembok, datanglah seorang perempuan mengadukan halnya kepada raja, sambil berseru: "Tolonglah, ya tuanku raja!"
27 And he says, “YHWH does not save you—from where do I save you? Out of the threshing-floor or out of the wine-vat?”
Jawabnya: "Jika TUHAN tidak menolong engkau, dengan apakah aku dapat menolong engkau? Dengan hasil pengirikankah atau hasil pemerasan anggur?"
28 And the king says to her, “What is [troubling] you?” And she says, “This woman said to me, Give your son, and we eat him today, and we eat my son tomorrow;
Kemudian bertanyalah raja kepadanya: "Ada apa?" Jawab perempuan itu: "Perempuan ini berkata kepadaku: Berilah anakmu laki-laki, supaya kita makan dia pada hari ini, dan besok akan kita makan anakku laki-laki.
29 and we boil my son and eat him, and I say to her on the next day, Give your son, and we eat him; and she hides her son.”
Jadi kami memasak anakku dan memakan dia. Tetapi ketika aku berkata kepadanya pada hari berikutnya: Berilah anakmu, supaya kita makan dia, maka perempuan ini menyembunyikan anaknya."
30 And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the woman, that he tears his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and behold, the sackcloth [is] within on his flesh.
Tatkala raja mendengar perkataan perempuan itu, dikoyakkannyalah pakaiannya; dan sedang ia berjalan di atas tembok, kelihatanlah kepada orang banyak, bahwa ia memakai kain kabung pada kulit tubuhnya.
31 And he says, “Thus God does to me and thus He adds, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on him this day.”
Lalu berkatalah raja: "Beginilah kiranya Allah menghukum aku, bahkan lebih dari pada itu, jika masih tinggal kepala Elisa bin Safat di atas tubuhnya pada hari ini."
32 And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elderly are sitting with him, and [the king] sends a man from before him; before the messenger comes to him, even he himself said to the elderly, “Have you seen that this son of the murderer has sent [him] to turn aside my head? See, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and you have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord behind him?”
Adapun Elisa, duduk-duduk di rumahnya, dan para tua-tua duduk bersama-sama dia. Raja menyuruh seorang berjalan mendahuluinya, tetapi sebelum suruhan itu sampai kepada Elisa, Elisa sudah berkata kepada para tua-tua itu: "Tahukah kamu, bahwa si pembunuh itu menyuruh orang untuk memenggal kepalaku? Awas-awaslah, apabila suruhan itu datang, segeralah tutup pintu dan tahanlah dia supaya orang itu jangan masuk. Bukankah sudah kedengaran bunyi langkah tuannya di belakangnya?"
33 He is yet speaking with them, and behold, the messenger is coming down to him, and he says, “Behold, this [is] the calamity from YHWH; why do I wait for YHWH anymore?”
Selagi ia berbicara dengan mereka, datanglah raja mendapatkan dia. Berkatalah raja kepadanya: "Sesungguhnya, malapetaka ini adalah dari pada TUHAN. Mengapakah aku berharap kepada TUHAN lagi?"
