1 Kings 13
1 And lo! a man of God, came in out of Judah, by the word of Yahweh, unto Bethel, —as Jeroboam was standing by the altar, to make a perfume.
Sedang Yerobeam berdiri di atas mezbah itu sambil membakar korban, maka atas perintah TUHAN datanglah seorang abdi Allah dari Yehuda ke Betel.
2 And he made proclamation against the altar, by the word of Yahweh, and said, O altar! altar! Thus, saith Yahweh, —Lo! a son to be born unto the house of David, Josiah his name, who shall sacrifice upon thee the priests of the high-places, who are making a perfume upon thee, and, human bones, shall be burned upon thee;
Lalu atas perintah TUHAN berserulah orang itu terhadap mezbah itu, katanya: "Hai mezbah, hai mezbah! Beginilah firman TUHAN: Bahwasanya seorang anak akan lahir pada keluarga Daud, Yosia namanya; ia akan menyembelih di atasmu imam-imam bukit pengorbanan yang membakar korban di atasmu, juga tulang-tulang manusia akan dibakar di atasmu."
3 and he shall give, on that day, a sign, saying, This, is the sign of which Yahweh hath spoken, —Lo! the altar, is to be rent, and the ashes that are upon thee shall be, poured out!
Pada waktu itu juga ia memberitahukan suatu tanda ajaib, katanya: "Inilah tanda ajaib, bahwa TUHAN telah berfirman: Bahwasanya mezbah itu akan pecah, sehingga tercurah abu yang di atasnya."
4 And it came to pass, when the king heard the word of the man of God which he proclaimed against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam thrust forth his hand, from off the altar, saying—Lay hold of him! and his hand which he had thrust forth against him was dried up, that he could not draw it back to him.
Demi raja Yerobeam mendengar perkataan abdi Allah yang diserukannya terhadap mezbah di Betel itu, ia mengulurkan tangannya dari atas mezbah dan berkata: "Tangkaplah dia!" Tetapi tangan yang diulurkannya terhadap orang itu menjadi kejang, sehingga tidak dapat ditariknya kembali.
5 Moreover, the altar, was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, —according to the sign which the man of God had given, by the word of Yahweh.
Mezbah itupun pecahlah, sehingga abu yang di atasnya tercurah, sesuai dengan tanda ajaib yang diberitahukan abdi Allah itu atas perintah TUHAN.
6 Then responded the king and said unto the man of God—Appease, I pray thee, the face of Yahweh thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored unto me. So the man of God appeased the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king was restored unto him, and became as aforetime.
Lalu berbicaralah raja dan berkata kepada abdi Allah itu: "Mohonkanlah belas kasihan TUHAN, Allahmu, dan berdoalah untukku, supaya tanganku dapat kembali." Dan abdi Allah itu memohonkan belas kasihan TUHAN, maka tangan raja itu dapat kembali dan menjadi seperti semula.
7 Then spake the king unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, —and let me give thee a present.
Kemudian berbicaralah raja kepada abdi Allah itu: "Marilah bersama-sama dengan aku ke rumah, segarkan badanmu, sesudah itu aku hendak memberikan suatu hadiah kepadamu."
8 But the man of God said unto the king—If thou wouldst give me the half of thy house, I would not go in with thee, —neither would I eat bread or drink water, in this place;
Tetapi abdi Allah itu berkata kepada raja: "Sekalipun setengah dari istanamu kauberikan kepadaku, aku tidak mau singgah kepadamu; juga aku tidak mau makan roti atau minum air di tempat ini.
9 for, so, he charged me, by the word of Yahweh, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor shalt thou drink water, —neither shalt thou come back by the way thou wentest.
Sebab beginilah diperintahkan kepadaku atas firman TUHAN: Jangan makan roti atau minum air dan jangan kembali melalui jalan yang telah kautempuh itu."
10 So he departed another way, —and went not back by the way by which he came unto Bethel.
Lalu pergilah ia melalui jalan lain dan tidak kembali melalui jalan yang telah diambilnya untuk datang ke Betel.
11 But, a certain aged prophet, was dwelling in Bethel, —whose sons came in and related to him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel—and the words which he had spoken unto the king, and they related them to their father.
Di Betel diam seorang nabi tua. Anak-anaknya datang menceritakan kepadanya segala perbuatan yang dilakukan abdi Allah pada hari itu di Betel. Mereka menceriterakan juga kepada ayah mereka perkataan yang dikatakannya kepada raja.
12 And their father said unto them, Which way then went he? Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God went who had come in out of Judah.
Kemudian ayah mereka bertanya: "Dari jalan manakah ia pergi?" Lalu anak-anaknya menunjukkan kepadanya jalan yang diambil abdi Allah yang datang dari Yehuda itu.
13 So he said unto his sons, Saddle for me, the ass. And they saddled for him the ass, and he rode thereon;
Ia berkata kepada anak-anaknya: "Pelanai keledai bagiku!" Mereka memelanai keledai baginya, lalu ia menunggangnya
14 and went after the man of God, and found him, sitting under an oak. And he said unto him—Art, thou, the man of God who came in out of Judah? And he said—I am.
dan pergi mengikuti abdi Allah itu dan mendapatinya duduk di bawah sebuah pohon besar. Ia bertanya kepadanya: "Engkaukah abdi Allah yang telah datang dari Yehuda?" Jawabnya: "Ya, akulah itu."
15 Then said he unto him, Come home with me, —and eat bread.
Katanya kepadanya: "Marilah bersama-sama aku ke rumah untuk makan roti."
16 And he said—I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee, —neither will I eat bread or drink water with thee, in this place;
Tetapi jawabnya: "Aku tidak dapat kembali bersama-sama engkau dan singgah kepadamu; aku tidak dapat makan roti atau minum air bersama-sama engkau di tempat ini,
17 for there came a message unto me by the word of Yahweh, Thou shalt neither eat bread, nor drink water there, —thou shalt not turn back to come by the way by which thou wentest.
sebab telah diperintahkan kepadaku atas firman TUHAN: Jangan makan roti atau minum air di sana. Jangan berjalan pulang melalui jalan yang telah kauambil itu."
18 And he said to him-I also, am a prophet, like unto thee, and, a messenger, hath spoken unto me, by the word of Yahweh, saying—Bring him back with thee, into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him.
Lalu jawabnya kepadanya: "Akupun seorang nabi juga seperti engkau, dan atas perintah TUHAN seorang malaikat telah berkata kepadaku: Bawa dia pulang bersama-sama engkau ke rumahmu, supaya ia makan roti dan minum air." Tetapi ia berbohong kepadanya.
19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
Kemudian orang itu kembali bersama-sama dia, lalu makan roti dan minum air di rumahnya.
20 And so it was, as, they, were sitting at the table, yea, so it was, that the word of Yahweh came unto the prophet who had brought him back;
Sedang mereka duduk menghadapi meja, datanglah firman TUHAN kepada nabi yang telah membawa dia pulang.
21 and he cried out unto the man of God who had come in out of Judah, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and hast not kept the commandment which Yahweh thy God commanded thee;
Ia berseru kepada abdi Allah yang telah datang dari Yehuda: "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Karena engkau telah memberontak terhadap titah TUHAN dan tidak berpegang pada segala perintah yang diperintahkan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allahmu,
22 but hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water, in the place of which he said unto thee, Thou mayest neither eat bread nor drink water: thy dead body shall not enter the burying-place of thy fathers.
tetapi kembali dan makan roti dan minum air di tempat ini walaupun Ia telah berfirman kepadamu: Jangan makan roti atau minum air, --maka mayatmu tidak akan masuk ke dalam kubur nenek moyangmu."
23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
Setelah orang itu makan roti dan minum air, dipelanailah keledai baginya.
24 And, when he had gone, there met him a lion by the way, and slew him, —and his dead body was cast out in the way, and, the ass, was standing near it, and, the lion, was standing near the dead body.
Orang itu pergi, tetapi di tengah jalan ia diserang seekor singa dan mati diterkam. Mayatnya tercampak di jalan dan keledai itu berdiri di sampingnya; singa itupun berdiri di samping mayat itu.
25 And lo! certain men, passing by, saw the dead body, cast out in the way, and the lion standing near the dead body, —so they came in, and spake [of it] in the city, wherein, the aged prophet, dwelt.
Orang-orang yang lewat melihat mayat itu tercampak di jalan dan singa berdiri di sampingnya. Dan mereka menceriterakannya di kota tempat kediaman nabi tua itu.
26 And, when the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard of it, he said—The man of God, it is, who rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, —therefore did Yahweh deliver him unto the lion, and it hath torn him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake unto him.
Ketika hal itu kedengaran kepada nabi yang telah membujuk dia berbalik kembali, ia berkata: "Dialah abdi Allah yang telah memberontak terhadap titah TUHAN. TUHAN menyerahkan dia kepada singa, yang mencabik dan membunuhnya sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya kepadanya."
27 And he spake unto his sons, saying, Saddle for me the ass. And they saddled it.
Lalu berbicaralah ia kepada anak-anaknya: "Pelanailah keledai bagiku." Dan mereka memelanainya.
28 So he went and found his dead body, cast out in the way, with, the ass and the lion, standing near the dead body, —the lion had neither eaten the dead body, nor had it torn the ass.
Kemudian ia pergi dan menemukan mayat orang itu tercampak di jalan, sedang keledai dan singa berdiri di sampingnya. Singa itu tidak memakan mayat itu dan tidak mencabik keledai itu.
29 And the prophet took up the dead body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back, —and the aged prophet came into the city, to make lamentation, and to bury him.
Nabi tua itu mengangkat mayat abdi Allah itu, menaruhnya ke atas keledai dan membawanya kembali ke kotanya sendiri untuk diratapi dan dikuburkan.
30 And he laid his dead body in his own grave, —and they lamented over him, [saying] —Alas, my brother!
Mayat orang itu dikuburkannya di dalam kuburnya sendiri, maka diratapilah dia: "Wahai, saudaraku!"
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake unto his sons, saying, When I die, then shall ye bury me in the grave wherein the man of God is buried; beside his bones, lay my bones;
Setelah ia menguburkannya, ia berkata kepada anak-anaknya: "Kalau aku mati, kuburkanlah aku dalam kubur ini bersama dengan abdi Allah itu, dan taruhlah tulang-tulangku di sisi tulang-tulangnya.
32 For the message which he proclaimed, by the ward of Yahweh, against the altar which is in Bethel, —and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
Sebab perkataan yang atas perintah TUHAN telah diserukannya terhadap mezbah yang di Betel itu dan terhadap segala kuil di bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang di kota-kota Samaria akan betul-betul terjadi."
33 After this thing, Jeroboam turned not from his wicked way, —but again made, from the whole compass of the people, priests of high places, whomsoever he would, he installed, and he became priest of high places.
Sesudah peristiwa inipun Yerobeam tidak berbalik dari kelakuannya yang jahat itu, tetapi mengangkat pula imam-imam dari kalangan rakyat untuk bukit-bukit pengorbanan. Siapa yang mau saja, ditahbiskannya menjadi imam untuk bukit-bukit pengorbanan.
34 And so this thing became the sin of the house of Jeroboam, —that it should be both taken away and destroyed, from off the face of the ground.
Dan tindakan itu menjadi dosa bagi keluarga Yerobeam, sehingga mereka dilenyapkan dan dipunahkan dari muka bumi.
