1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.
Pada tahun kedelapan belas pemerintahan Raja Yerobeam atas Israel, Abiam menjadi raja Yehuda
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
dan memerintah selama tiga tahun di Yerusalem. Ibunya ialah Maakha, anak Abisalom.
3 He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
Abiam melakukan dosa-dosa seperti ayahnya. Ia tidak sepenuh hati setia kepada TUHAN Allahnya, berlainan dengan Daud, kakek buyutnya.
4 Nevertheless for David's sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;
Tetapi, demi Raja Daud, maka TUHAN, Allah yang disembah oleh Daud, telah memberikan kepada Abiam seorang anak untuk menggantikan dia memerintah di Yerusalem dan mempertahankan kota itu.
5 because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hethite.
TUHAN melakukan hal itu oleh sebab Daud telah menyenangkan hati-Nya. Daud tidak pernah mengabaikan perintah-perintah TUHAN, kecuali dalam perkara Uria orang Het itu.
6 [Now there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.]
Perang antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam yang dimulai pada masa Rehabeam masih berlangsung selama pemerintahan Abiam.
7 The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
Kisah lainnya mengenai Abiam sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.
8 Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the City of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.
Abiam pun meninggal dan dimakamkan di Kota Daud. Asa anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.
Pada tahun kedua puluh pemerintahan Raja Yerobeam atas Israel, Asa menjadi raja Yehuda.
10 He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
Ia memerintah empat puluh satu tahun lamanya di Yerusalem. Neneknya ialah Maakha, anak Abisalom.
11 Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
Seperti Daud, nenek moyangnya, Asa menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
12 And he banished the male temple prostitutes out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
Semua pelacur yang bertugas di tempat-tempat penyembahan dewa disingkirkannya, dan semua berhala yang didirikan oleh raja-raja yang memerintah sebelum dia dihapuskannya dari seluruh negeri.
13 Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.
Neneknya, Maakha, dipecatnya dari kedudukannya sebagai Ibu suri, sebab ia telah membuat patung berhala yang cabul untuk Asyera, dewi kesuburan. Asa merobohkan berhala itu dan membakarnya di Lembah Kidron.
14 But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.
Meskipun tidak semua tempat penyembahan berhala dihancurkan oleh Asa, namun ia tetap setia kepada TUHAN sepanjang hidupnya.
15 He brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
Semua emas dan perak yang telah dipersembahkan ayahnya kepada TUHAN, dibawanya ke Rumah TUHAN, begitu juga emas dan perak, persembahannya sendiri.
16 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Semasa pemerintahan Raja Asa dari Yehuda dan Raja Baesa dari Israel selalu ada perang antara kedua raja itu.
17 Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Baesa menyerang Yehuda dan memperkuat kota Rama untuk menutup jalan keluar masuk Yehuda.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,
Karena itu Raja Asa mengambil semua emas dan perak yang masih ada di Rumah TUHAN dan istana raja lalu mengirimnya ke Damsyik kepada Benhadad raja Siria, anak Tabrimon, yaitu cucu Hezion. Barang-barang itu dikirim dengan perantaraan beberapa pejabat istana, disertai pesan berikut ini,
19 "Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
"Marilah kita mengikat persahabatan seperti yang sudah dilakukan oleh orang tua kita. Bersama ini saya mengirim emas dan perak sebagai hadiah, dan mengajak tuan memutuskan hubungan dengan Baesa raja Israel, supaya ia menarik kembali pasukannya dari wilayah saya."
20 Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Kinnereth, with all the land of Naphtali.
Benhadad setuju dengan tawaran itu lalu menyuruh perwira-perwiranya bersama pasukan mereka menyerang kota-kota Israel. Mereka mengalahkan Iyon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Maakha dan Kinerot di dekat Danau Galilea serta seluruh wilayah Naftali.
21 It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.
Ketika Baesa mendengar hal itu, ia berhenti memperkuat Rama. Ia pergi ke Tirza dan untuk sementara waktu tidak berperang.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
Setelah itu, semua orang di seluruh Yehuda tanpa kecuali diperintahkan oleh Raja Asa untuk mengangkut batu dan kayu yang dipakai Baesa di Rama untuk memperkuat kota itu. Bahan-bahan itu dipakai Asa untuk memperkuat kota Mizpa dan Geba, sebuah kota di wilayah Benyamin.
23 Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Asa, yaitu kepahlawanannya dan kota-kota yang diperkuatnya, sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda. Pada masa tuanya Asa menderita penyakit pada kedua kakinya.
24 Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
Ia meninggal dan dikubur di makam raja-raja di Kota Daud. Yosafat, putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
25 Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
Pada tahun kedua pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Nadab anak Yerobeam menjadi raja di Israel dan memerintah dua tahun lamanya.
26 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
Sama seperti ayahnya yang memerintah sebelumnya, ia pun melakukan yang jahat pada pemandangan TUHAN sehingga menyebabkan orang Israel berbuat dosa.
27 Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
Baesa, anak Ahia, dari suku Isakhar berkomplot melawan Nadab, lalu membunuh dia. Pada waktu itu Nadab dengan pasukannya sedang mengepung kota Gibeton di wilayah Filistin.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.
Itu terjadi dalam tahun ketiga pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda. Demikianlah Baesa menjadi raja Israel menggantikan Nadab.
29 It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam: he did not leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;
Segera setelah Baesa menjadi raja, ia membunuh seluruh keluarga Yerobeam. Sesuai dengan apa yang telah dikatakan TUHAN melalui hamba-Nya, Nabi Ahia dari Silo, maka seluruh keluarga Yerobeam terbunuh, tidak seorang pun yang luput.
30 for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
Yerobeam berdosa dan menyebabkan orang Israel pun berdosa. Dengan demikian Yerobeam membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, Allah yang disembah orang Israel.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kisah lainnya mengenai Nadab sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
32 There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
Selama masa pemerintahan Raja Baesa dari Israel, perang selalu terjadi antara Baesa dan Raja Asa dari Yehuda.
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
Pada tahun ketiga pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Baesa anak Ahia menjadi raja atas seluruh Israel. Ia memerintah di Tirza dua puluh empat tahun lamanya.
34 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
Sama seperti Raja Yerobeam yang memerintah sebelumnya, Raja Baesa pun berdosa kepada TUHAN dan menyebabkan orang Israel juga berbuat dosa.
