< 1 Kings 16 >
1 The word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
Maka berbicaralah TUHAN kepada Nabi Yehu anak Hanani, kata-Nya, "Sampaikanlah kepada Baesa pesan-Ku ini,
2 "Because I exalted you out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
'Dahulu engkau bukan apa-apa, tetapi engkau sudah Kuangkat menjadi pemimpin atas umat-Ku Israel. Sekarang kau berdosa seperti Yerobeam dan menyebabkan umat-Ku Israel berdosa, sehingga membangkitkan kemarahan-Ku.
3 look, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Karena itu Aku akan melenyapkan engkau dan keluargamu sama seperti yang telah Kulakukan terhadap Yerobeam.
4 The dogs will eat Baasha's descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field the birds of the sky will eat."
Anggota keluargamu yang mati di kota akan dimakan anjing, dan mereka yang mati di luar kota akan dimakan burung.'"
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Pesan TUHAN kepada Baesa dan keluarganya itu disampaikan oleh Nabi Yehu karena Baesa telah melakukan yang jahat pada pemandangan TUHAN, Baesa membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, bukan hanya karena ia telah membunuh seluruh keluarga Yerobeam. Kisah lainnya mengenai Baesa, termasuk kepahlawanannya sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel. Baesa meninggal lalu dimakamkan di Tirza. Ela, putranya, menggantikan dia menjadi raja.
6 Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.
7 Moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah for two years.
Pada tahun kedua puluh enam pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Ela anak Baesa menjadi raja atas Israel. Ia memerintah di Tirza dua tahun lamanya.
9 His servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.
Zimri, seorang perwira yang mengepalai separuh dari pasukan berkereta, berkomplot melawan Ela. Pada suatu hari di Tirza, Ela minum-minum sampai mabuk di rumah Arza, kepala rumah tangga istana raja.
10 And Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
Lalu Zimri masuk dan membunuh Ela, kemudian menjadi raja menggantikan Ela. Itu terjadi pada tahun kedua puluh tujuh pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda.
11 It happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck all the house of Baasha: he did not leave him a single one who urinates on a wall, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.
Segera sesudah Zimri menjadi raja, ia membunuh seluruh keluarga Raja Baesa. Bahkan semua sanak saudara Baesa yang laki-laki serta kawan-kawan keluarganya pun tidak ada yang luput.
12 Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
Sesuai dengan apa yang dikatakan TUHAN terhadap Baesa melalui Nabi Yehu, seluruh keluarga Baesa terbunuh.
13 for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
Baesa dan Ela, anaknya, menyembah dewa-dewa dan menyebabkan orang Israel berbuat dosa. Karena itu, mereka membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, Allah yang harus disembah oleh orang Israel.
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kisah lainnya mengenai Ela sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
Pada tahun kedua puluh tujuh pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Zimri menjadi raja Israel dan memerintah di Tirza selama tujuh hari. Pada waktu itu tentara Israel sedang mengepung Gibeton, kota orang Filistin.
16 The people who were camped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired, and has also struck the king." Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
Ketika mereka mendengar bahwa Zimri telah berkomplot melawan raja dan telah membunuhnya, pada hari itu juga di perkemahan mereka itu, mereka semua mengangkat Omri, panglima mereka, sebagai raja Israel.
17 Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
Kemudian Omri dan pasukannya meninggalkan Gibeton lalu pergi mengepung Tirza.
18 It happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,
Pada saat Zimri melihat bahwa kota itu sudah direbut, ia masuk ke dalam istana dan membakar istana itu bersama-sama dengan dirinya, maka matilah ia.
19 for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
Itu terjadi karena ia melakukan yang jahat pada pemandangan TUHAN. Sama seperti Raja Yerobeam, Zimri pun berdosa kepada TUHAN dan menyebabkan umat Israel berdosa pula.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kisah lainnya mengenai Zimri, termasuk komplotan pengkhianatan yang direncanakannya, sudah dicatat di dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
Terjadilah perpecahan di dalam bangsa Israel karena ada yang ingin supaya Tibni anak Ginat menjadi raja, tetapi ada pula yang menghendaki Omri menjadi raja.
22 But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Joram his brother at that time, and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.
Akhirnya mereka yang berpihak kepada Omri menang. Tibni mati dan Omri menjadi raja.
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah.
Itu terjadi pada tahun ketiga puluh satu pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda. Omri memerintah sebagai raja atas Israel dua belas tahun lamanya. Selama enam tahun yang pertama ia memerintah di Tirza.
24 He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.
Tetapi kemudian ia membeli sebuah gunung seharga 6.000 uang perak dari seseorang bernama Semer. Lalu ia membangun sebuah kota di gunung itu dan menamakannya Samaria, menurut nama Semer, pemilik lama gunung itu.
25 Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.
Omri melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih besar daripada yang dilakukan oleh raja-raja yang memerintah sebelum dia.
26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
Seperti Yerobeam, Omri berdosa serta menyebabkan orang Israel pun berdosa dan menyembah dewa. Oleh karena itu mereka membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, Allah yang harus disembah oleh orang Israel.
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Omri, dan semua yang telah dilakukannya sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.
Setelah Omri meninggal dan dimakamkan di Samaria, Ahab anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
Pada tahun ketiga puluh delapan pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Ahab anak Omri menjadi raja atas Israel dan memerintah di Samaria dua puluh dua tahun lamanya.
30 Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
Ia melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih besar pada pemandangan TUHAN daripada raja-raja sebelumnya.
31 It happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.
Belum cukup juga baginya hidup berdosa seperti Raja Yerobeam, ia malah mengawini Izebel anak Raja Etbaal dari Sidon, dan ia beribadat kepada Baal.
32 He reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
Ia mendirikan rumah ibadat di Samaria untuk Baal, dan di dalam rumah ibadat itu ia membuat sebuah mezbah untuk dewa itu.
33 Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
Ia membuat juga patung Dewi Asyera. Ia melakukan lebih banyak dosa daripada yang dilakukan oleh semua raja Israel yang memerintah sebelum dia. Karena itu ia membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, Allah yang harus disembah oleh orang Israel.
34 In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho: he laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
Dalam masa pemerintahan Ahab, kota Yerikho didirikan kembali oleh Hiel orang Betel. Tetapi seperti yang telah dikatakan sebelumnya oleh TUHAN melalui Yosua anak Nun, Hiel kehilangan dua anaknya: Abiram yang sulung meninggal ketika Hiel meletakkan dasar kota, dan Segub yang bungsu meninggal ketika Hiel memasang pintu-pintu gerbang kota itu.
