2 Chronicles 28
1 [was] a son of Twenty year[s] Ahaz when became king he and six-teen year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and not he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh like David ancestor his.
Ahas menjadi raja pada usia 20 tahun, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 16 tahun lamanya. Ia tidak mengikuti teladan yang baik dari Raja Daud, leluhurnya, melainkan melakukan yang tidak menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
2 And he walked in [the] ways of [the] kings of Israel and also molten images he made for the Baals.
Ia hidup seperti raja-raja Israel dan menyuruh orang membuat patung-patung Baal dari logam,
3 And he he made smoke in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom and he burned sons his in the fire according to [the] abominations of the nations which he dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
serta membakar dupa di Lembah Hinom. Bahkan putranya sendiri dipersembahkannya sebagai kurban kepada berhala, menurut kebiasaan buruk orang-orang yang telah diusir TUHAN dari negeri Kanaan ketika orang Israel memasuki negeri itu.
4 And he sacrificed and he made smoke at the high places and on the hills and under every tree luxuriant.
Ahas mempersembahkan kurban dan membakar dupa di tempat-tempat penyembahan dewa di gunung-gunung dan di bawah pohon-pohon yang rindang.
5 And he gave him Yahweh God his in [the] hand of [the] king of Aram and they defeated him and they took captive from him a group of captives large and they brought [them] Damascus and also in [the] hand of [the] king of Israel he was given and he defeated him a defeat great.
Karena Raja Ahas berdosa, TUHAN Allahnya membiarkan dia dikalahkan oleh raja Siria yang juga mengangkut sejumlah besar orang Yehuda sebagai tawanan ke Damsyik. TUHAN juga membiarkan dia dikalahkan oleh Raja Pekah anak Remalya dari Israel, yang dalam satu hari membunuh 120.000 prajurit Yehuda yang berani-berani. TUHAN, Allah leluhur mereka membiarkan semuanya itu terjadi, karena rakyat Yehuda tidak lagi menghiraukan TUHAN.
6 And he killed Pekah [the] son of Remaliah among Judah one hundred and twenty thousand in a day one all [were] sons of strength because had forsaken they Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.
7 And he killed Zikri - warrior of Ephraim Maaseiah [the] son of the king and Azrikam [the] officer of the house and Elkanah [the] second of the king.
Putra Ahas, yang bernama Maaseya dibunuh oleh Zikhri seorang perwira Israel. Zikhri juga membunuh Azrikam pengurus istana raja, dan Elkana, tangan kanan raja.
8 And they took captive [the] people of Israel of relatives their two hundred thousand women sons and daughters and also booty much they plundered from them and they brought the booty to Samaria.
Meskipun orang-orang Yehuda adalah sesama bangsa Israel, namun tentara Israel menawan 200.000 wanita dan anak-anak, lalu mengangkut mereka ke Samaria bersama-sama dengan banyak sekali barang rampasan.
9 And there he was a prophet of Yahweh [was] Oded name his and he went out before the army which was coming to Samaria and he said to them here! in [the] wrath of Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your towards Judah he gave them in hand your and you have killed among them in a rage [which] to to the heavens it has reached.
Seorang nabi TUHAN bernama Oded tinggal di kota Samaria. Pada waktu tentara Israel kembali membawa tawanan dari Yehuda, Oded menemui mereka ketika mereka akan memasuki kota. Ia berkata, "Kalian telah mengalahkan orang Yehuda karena TUHAN Allah leluhurmu marah kepada mereka. Tetapi TUHAN mendengar bagaimana kejamnya kalian membunuh tentara Yehuda itu.
10 And now [the] people of Judah and Jerusalem you [are] saying to subjugate to [male] slaves and to female slaves for yourselves ¿ not certainly you with you [are] guilt to Yahweh God your.
Dan sekarang orang-orang Yerusalem dan Yehuda hendak kalian jadikan hamba-hambamu! Tidakkah kalian tahu bahwa kalian pun telah berdosa terhadap TUHAN Allahmu?
11 And therefore listen to me and return the group of captives which you have taken captive from relatives your for [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh [is] towards you.
Dengar! Para tawanan ini adalah saudara-saudaramu. Jadi, suruhlah mereka pulang. Kalau tidak, TUHAN akan marah dan menghukum kalian."
12 And they rose up men some of [the] leaders of [the] descendants of Ephraim Azariah [the] son of Jehohanan Berekiah [the] son of Meshillemoth and Jechizkiah [the] son of Shallum and Amasa [the] son of Hadlai on the [ones who] were coming from the war.
Empat tokoh dari Israel, yaitu Azarya anak Yohanam, Berekhya anak Mesilemot, Yehizkia anak Salum, dan Amasa anak Hadlai, juga menentang tindakan tentara yang pulang itu.
13 And they said to them not you must bring the group of captives here for to [the] guilt of Yahweh on us [are] you? saying to add to sins our and to guilt our for much guilt [belongs] to us and burning of anger [is] towards Israel.
Mereka berkata, "Jangan bawa tawanan-tawanan itu ke mari! Kita sudah berdosa terhadap TUHAN, dan dosa-dosa kita sudah cukup besar untuk dihukum. Sekarang kalian mau membuat sesuatu yang hanya akan menambah kesalahan kita."
14 And he left the [man] equipped the group of captives and the plunder before the commanders and all the assembly.
Maka prajurit-prajurit itu menyerahkan para tawanan dan barang-barang rampasan itu kepada rakyat dan pemimpin-pemimpin mereka.
15 And they arose the men who they had been designated by names and they took hold on the group of captives and all naked people their they clothed from the booty and they clothed them and they shod them and they fed them and they gave to drink them and they anointed them and they led them on donkeys any [one who] stumbled and they brought them Jericho [the] city of the palm trees beside relatives their and they returned Samaria.
Lalu keempat tokoh tersebut bangkit untuk mengurus para tawanan itu. Mereka membagikan pakaian dari barang rampasan itu kepada para tawanan yang memerlukannya. Mereka juga membagikan sepatu, makanan dan minuman. Para tawanan yang luka-luka diobati dengan minyak zaitun. Yang terlalu lemah untuk berjalan, dinaikkan ke atas keledai, lalu semua tawanan itu dibawa ke Yerikho, kota pohon-pohon kurma, supaya dapat pulang ke kampung halaman mereka di Yehuda. Setelah itu orang Israel pulang ke Samaria.
16 At the time that he sent the king Ahaz to [the] kings of Assyria to help him.
Orang-orang Edom mulai lagi menyerbu Yehuda dan menawan banyak orang. Karena itu Raja Ahas minta kepada Tiglat-Pileser, raja Asyur, supaya mengirim bantuan.
17 And again [the] Edomites they had come and they had defeated Judah and they had taken captive captive[s].
18 And [the] Philistines they had made a raid on [the] cities of the Shephelah and the Negev of Judah and they had captured Beth Shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth and Socoh and daughters its and Timnah and daughters its and Gimzo and daughters its and they dwelt there.
Pada waktu itu juga orang-orang Filistin sedang menyerbu kota-kota di daerah kaki gunung di sebelah barat, dan di daerah sebelah selatan Yehuda. Mereka merebut kota Bet-Semes, Ayalon, dan Gederot, serta kota Sokho, Timna, dan Gomzo serta desa-desa di sekitar ketiga kota itu, lalu menetap di situ.
19 For he had humbled Yahweh Judah for sake of Ahaz [the] king of Israel for he had allowed lack of restraint in Judah and he had acted unfaithfully unfaithfulness against Yahweh.
Karena Ahas raja Yehuda meninggalkan TUHAN dan tidak memerintah rakyatnya sebagaimana mestinya, maka TUHAN mendatangkan kesusahan di Yehuda.
20 And he came on him Tiglath-pileser [the] king of Assyria and he harassed him and not he strengthened him.
Raja Asyur itu datang bukan untuk membantu Ahas, melainkan untuk menyusahkannya.
21 For he had plundered Ahaz [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and the officials and he had given to [the] king of Assyria and not for help for him.
Terpaksa Ahas mengambil emas dari Rumah TUHAN, dari istana, dan dari rumah-rumah para pemimpin rakyat, lalu menyerahkannya kepada raja Asyur. Tetapi itu pun tidak berguna baginya.
22 And at [the] time harassed him and he increased to act unfaithfully against Yahweh that the king Ahaz.
Dalam keadaan yang sangat sulit itu, Ahas malah semakin berdosa terhadap TUHAN.
23 And he sacrificed to [the] gods of Damascus which had defeated him and he said that [the] gods of [the] kings of Aram they [are] helping them to them I will sacrifice and they will help me and they they became for him causing overthrow his and all Israel.
Ia mencelakakan dirinya dan rakyatnya karena mempersembahkan kurban kepada dewa-dewa orang Siria yang sudah mengalahkan dia. Ia berpikir, "Dewa-dewa Siria telah membantu raja-raja Siria, jadi kalau saya mempersembahkan kurban kepada mereka, barangkali saya akan ditolongnya juga."
24 And he gathered Ahaz [the] utensils of [the] house of God and he cut up [the] utensils of [the] house of God and he closed [the] doors of [the] house of Yahweh and he made for himself altars at every corner in Jerusalem.
Kemudian ia mengambil semua perkakas Rumah TUHAN dan menghancurkannya. Lalu ditutupnya Rumah TUHAN, dan didirikannya mezbah-mezbah di seluruh Yerusalem.
25 And in every city and a city of Judah he made high places to make smoke to gods other and he provoked Yahweh [the] God of ancestors his.
Di setiap kota dan desa di Yehuda ia membangun tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala untuk membakar dupa bagi dewa-dewa bangsa lain. Dengan demikian ia membuat TUHAN, Allah para leluhurnya marah kepadanya.
26 And [the] rest of matters his and all ways his former and latter there they [are] written on [the] scroll of [the] kings of Judah and Israel.
Kisah lain mengenai pemerintahannya dan semua perbuatannya dari mula sampai akhir dicatat di dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda dan Israel.
27 And he lay down Ahaz with ancestors his and people buried him in the city in Jerusalem for not they brought him to [the] graves of [the] kings of Israel and he became king Hezekiah son his in place of him.
Ahas meninggal; dan dikuburkan di Yerusalem, tetapi tidak di makam raja-raja. Hizkia putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
