2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, began Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah to reign.
Pada tahun kedua pemerintahan Yoas anak Yoahas atas Israel, Amazia anak Yoas menjadi raja Yehuda.
2 Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Pada waktu itu ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem dua puluh sembilan tahun lamanya. Ibunya ialah Yoadan dari Yerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, only, not like David his father: according to all that Joash his father did, so he did;
Amazia melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN, tetapi ia tidak seperti Daud, leluhurnya. Seperti ayahnya,
4 only, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
ia pun tidak meruntuhkan tempat-tempat penyembahan dewa, sehingga rakyat terus saja mempersembahkan kurban dan membakar dupa di sana.
5 And it came to pass that, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, he smote his servants who smote the king his father;
Segera setelah kuat kedudukannya, Amazia menghukum mati pegawai-pegawai yang membunuh ayahnya.
6 but, the sons of them that smote him, slew he not, —as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh commanded, saying—Fathers, shall not be put to death, for sons, nor shall, sons, be put to death, for fathers, but every man, for his own sin, shall be put to death.
Tetapi anak-anak pegawai-pegawai itu tidak dibunuhnya, karena ia menuruti perintah TUHAN dalam Buku Musa yang berbunyi, "Jangan menghukum mati orang tua karena kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh anak-anak mereka, dan jangan menghukum mati anak-anak karena kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh orang tua mereka. Setiap orang hanya boleh dihukum mati karena kejahatan yang dilakukannya sendiri."
7 He, smote Edom, in the valley of salt, ten thousand, and seized Sela, in the war, —and called the name thereof Joktheel, [as it is] until this day.
Dalam suatu pertempuran, Amazia membunuh 10.000 prajurit Edom di Lembah Asin, dan merebut kota Sela. Kota itu dinamakannya Yokteel. Sampai sekarang kota itu masih bernama Yokteel.
8 Then, sent Amaziah messengers unto Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, —Come now, let us look one another in the face.
Kemudian Amazia mengirim utusan kepada Yoas raja Israel untuk menantang dia berperang.
9 And Jehoash king of Israel sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying—Give thy daughter to my son to wife, —and there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, and trampled down the thistle:
Tetapi Raja Yoas mengirim jawaban ini, "Suatu waktu semak berduri di Pegunungan Libanon mengirim berita ini kepada pohon cemara, 'Hai pohon cemara, berikanlah anak gadismu kepada anakku untuk menjadi istrinya.' Tetapi kemudian lewatlah di situ seekor binatang hutan yang menginjak-injak semak berduri itu.
10 Thou hast, smitten, Edom, and, thy heart, would lift thee up, —Glory, and stay at home! Wherefore, then, shouldest thou contend with misfortune, and fall, thou, and Judah with thee?
Engkau, Amazia, telah menjadi sombong, karena engkau telah mengalahkan orang Edom. Nah, bukankah kemenangan itu sudah cukup? Sebaiknya kautinggal saja di rumah! Untuk apa mencari-cari persoalan yang hanya akan mencelakakan dirimu dan rakyatmu?"
11 But Amaziah hearkened not. So then Jehoash king of Israel came up, and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, —in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah.
Tetapi Amazia raja Yehuda tidak menghiraukan kata-kata Yoas raja Israel. Karena itu, Raja Yoas dengan anak buahnya berangkat ke Bet-Semes di Yehuda dan berperang dengan Amazia di sana.
12 Then was Judah defeated before Israel, —and they fled, every man to his own home;
Tentara Yehuda dikalahkan dan semua prajuritnya lari pulang ke rumahnya masing-masing.
13 and, upon Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, did Jehoash king of Israel, seize, in Beth-shemesh, —and entered Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim, as far as the corner gate, four hundred cubits;
Yoas menangkap Amazia, lalu pergi ke Yerusalem dan meruntuhkan tembok kota itu sepanjang kurang lebih dua ratus meter, mulai dari Pintu Gerbang Efraim sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Sudut.
14 and took all the gold and the silver and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and hostages, —and returned to Samaria.
Semua emas dan perak serta semua perkakas yang ditemukannya di Rumah TUHAN, juga semua harta benda istana, bersama beberapa orang sandera diangkut oleh Yoas ke Samaria.
15 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoash, what he did, and his might and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoas, termasuk kepahlawanannya melawan Amazia raja Yehuda dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel, —and, Jeroboam his son, reigned, in his stead.
Yoas meninggal dan dikuburkan di pekuburan raja-raja di Samaria. Yerobeam II anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
17 And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, lived, after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
Setelah Yoas raja Israel meninggal, Amazia raja Yehuda, masih hidup 15 tahun lagi.
18 Now, the rest of the story of Amaziah, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Di Yerusalem ada komplotan yang mau membunuh Amazia. Karena itu ia lari ke Lakhis, tetapi musuh-musuhnya mengejar dia ke sana dan membunuhnya. Jenazahnya diangkut dengan kuda ke Yerusalem, lalu dikuburkan di pekuburan raja-raja di Kota Daud. Maka rakyat Yehuda melantik Uzia, putra Amazia menjadi raja mereka. Pada waktu itu Uzia baru berumur 16 tahun. Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Amazia dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.
19 And, when they made against him a conspiracy in Jerusalem, he fled to Lachish, —but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him, there.
20 And they bare him on horses, —and he was buried in Jerusalem, with his fathers, in the city of David.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, he, being sixteen yearn old, —and made, him, king instead of his father Amaziah.
22 He, built Elath, and restored it to Judah, —after the king slept with his fathers.
Setelah kematian ayahnya, Uzia merebut kembali kota Elat dan membangunnya lagi.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, began Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel, to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] forty-one years.
Pada tahun kelima belas pemerintahan Amazia anak Yoas atas Yehuda, Yerobeam II anak Yoas menjadi raja Israel, dan memerintah di Samaria 41 tahun lamanya.
24 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit.
Ia berdosa kepada TUHAN, karena mengikuti kejahatan Raja Yerobeam I yang telah membuat orang Israel berdosa.
25 He, restored the boundary of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the sea of the waste plain, —according to the word of Yahweh, God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.
Yerobeam II inilah yang merebut kembali seluruh daerah Israel, dari jalan ke Hamat di utara sampai Laut Mati di selatan. Itu sesuai dengan janji TUHAN, Allah Israel, melalui hamba-Nya, Nabi Yunus anak Amitai orang Gat-Hefer.
26 For Yahweh saw the humiliation of Israel, that it was bitter, indeed, —and that there was no one shut up, nor any one left at large, no one indeed to help Israel.
TUHAN melihat betapa sengsaranya orang Israel, dan tidak ada seorang pun yang menolong mereka.
27 Neither had Yahweh spoken, to wipe out the name of Israel from under the heavens, —so he saved them, by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.
TUHAN tidak bermaksud menghancurkan Israel untuk selama-lamanya, karena itu Ia menolong mereka melalui Raja Yerobeam II.
28 Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might when he warred, and how he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yerobeam II, mengenai kepahlawanannya dalam pertempuran-pertempuran dan bagaimana ia merebut kembali Damsyik dan Hamat dari Yehuda untuk Israel, semuanya dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, —and, Zechariah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Yerobeam II meninggal dan dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja. Zakharia putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
