1 Kings 9
1 After Solomon’s [workers] had finished building the temple and his palace and everything else that Solomon wanted them to build,
Setelah Salomo selesai mendirikan Rumah TUHAN dan istana raja serta semua yang direncanakannya,
2 Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
TUHAN menampakkan diri lagi kepadanya seperti yang terjadi di Gibeon.
3 Yahweh said to him, “I heard what you prayed and what you pleaded for me to do. I have set apart/dedicated this temple which your [workers] have built to be the place where people will worship me forever. I will always watch over it and protect it.
TUHAN berkata kepadanya, "Doamu sudah Kudengar, dan dengan ini rumah yang telah kaudirikan ini Kunyatakan menjadi tempat khusus untuk beribadat kepada-Ku selama-lamanya. Aku akan selalu memperhatikan dan menjaga tempat ini.
4 “And as for you, if you conduct your life as I want you to, like your father David did, and if you very sincerely obey all the statutes and laws that I have commanded you to obey,
Kalau engkau mengabdi kepada-Ku dengan tulus hati dan jujur seperti ayahmu Daud, dan engkau mentaati hukum-hukum dan perintah-perintah-Ku,
5 I will do what I promised your father that I would do: I promised him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.
maka Aku akan menepati janji-Ku kepada ayahmu Daud bahwa anak cucunya turun-temurun akan selalu memerintah Israel.
6 “But if you or your descendants turn away from me and disobey the commands and decrees that I have given to you, and if you start to worship other gods,
Tetapi kalau engkau atau keturunanmu membelakangi Aku dan tidak taat kepada hukum-hukum dan perintah-perintah-Ku serta engkau menyembah ilah-ilah lain,
7 I will remove my Israeli people from the land that I have given to them. I will also abandon this temple that I have set apart/dedicated to be the place where people should worship me. Then people everywhere will despise [the people of] Israel and make fun of them.
maka Aku akan mengusir umat-Ku Israel dari negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada mereka. Aku juga akan meninggalkan rumah ini yang telah Kutetapkan menjadi tempat ibadat kepada-Ku. Di mana-mana orang Israel akan dihina dan ditertawakan.
8 This temple will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by will be astonished [when they see it], and they will be shocked and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this temple?’
Rumah ibadat ini akan menjadi suatu timbunan puing sehingga setiap orang yang lewat di situ akan terkejut dan ngeri. Mereka akan berkata, 'Mengapa TUHAN berbuat begitu terhadap negeri dan rumah ini?'
9 And other people will reply, ‘It happened because the Israeli people abandoned Yahweh their God, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt. They started to accept and worship other gods. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
Lalu orang akan menjawab, 'Karena mereka meninggalkan TUHAN, Allah mereka, yang telah mengantar leluhur mereka keluar dari Mesir. Mereka menyembah ilah-ilah lain. Itulah sebabnya TUHAN mendatangkan bencana ini ke atas mereka.'"
10 Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
Salomo membangun Rumah TUHAN dan istana raja dalam waktu dua puluh tahun.
11 Hiram, the king of Tyre had [arranged for his workers to] give Solomon all the cedar and pine [logs] and all the gold that he needed [for this work]. After it was all finished, King Solomon gave to Hiram 20 cities in the Galilee region.
Semua kayu cemara Libanon dan kayu cemara biasa serta semua emas yang diperlukan Salomo untuk pembangunan itu telah diberikan Raja Hiram kepadanya. Setelah pekerjaan itu selesai, Raja Salomo memberikan kepada Hiram dua puluh buah kota di wilayah Galilea.
12 But when Hiram went from Tyre [to Galilee] to see the cities that Solomon had given to him, he was not pleased with them.
Maka pergilah Hiram melihatnya, tetapi ia tidak senang dengan pemberian itu.
13 He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
Ia berkata kepada Salomo, "Saudaraku, beginikah macamnya kota-kota yang kauberikan kepadaku?" Itulah sebabnya daerah itu masih disebut Kabul.
14 Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
Lebih dari 4.000 kilogram emas telah dikirim Hiram kepada Salomo.
15 This is a record of the work that King Solomon forced men to do. He forced them to build the temple and his palace and the terraces/landfills [on the east side of the city], and the wall around Jerusalem, and [to rebuild the cities of] Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
Raja Salomo memakai cara kerja paksa untuk membangun Rumah TUHAN, istana raja, tembok Yerusalem dan untuk menimbun tanah di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN. Ia memakai cara yang sama untuk membangun kembali kota Hazor, Megido dan Gezer.
16 [The reason they needed to rebuild Gezer was that the army of] the king of Egypt had attacked Gezer and captured it. Then they had burned [the houses in] the city and killed all the people of the Canaan people-group who lived there. The king of Egypt gave that city to his daughter as a gift when she married Solomon.
(Kota Gezer adalah kota yang dahulu diserang dan dikalahkan oleh raja Mesir, lalu penduduknya dibunuh dan kotanya dibakar. Kota itu kemudian diberikan oleh raja Mesir kepada putrinya sebagai hadiah pada hari pernikahannya dengan Salomo.
17 So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
Dan Salomolah yang membangun kembali kota itu.) Dengan kerja paksa juga, Salomo membangun kembali Bet-Horon-Hilir,
18 They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
Baalat, Tamar di padang gurun Yehuda,
19 They also built cities where they kept the supplies for Solomon, the places where his horses and chariots were kept. They also built everything else that Solomon wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area over which he ruled.
kota-kota perbekalan, serta kota-kota untuk pangkalan kereta perang dan kudanya. Semua rencana pembangunan di Yerusalem, Libanon, dan di seluruh wilayah kekuasaannya telah dilaksanakannya.
20 There were many people who belonged to the Amor people-group, the Heth people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group who were not killed when the Israelis captured their land.
Untuk kerja paksa itu Salomo mengerahkan orang-orang keturunan orang Amori, Het, Feris, Hewi dan Yebus. Mereka adalah orang-orang keturunan bangsa Kanaan yang tidak dapat dibunuh habis oleh orang Israel ketika mereka menduduki negeri itu. Sampai sekarang keturunan mereka masih menjadi hamba.
21 [Their descendants still lived in Israel]. It was those people whom Solomon forced to become his slaves [to build all those places], and they are still slaves.
22 But Solomon did not force any Israeli people to become slaves. Some Israelis became soldiers and army officers and commanders and drivers of his chariots and soldiers who rode on horses.
Orang Israel tidak dijadikan hamba oleh Salomo; mereka ditugaskan sebagai prajurit, perwira, panglima, komandan kereta perang, dan tentara pasukan berkuda.
23 There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
Lima ratus lima puluh pegawai diserahi tanggung jawab atas orang-orang yang melakukan kerja paksa dalam berbagai proyek pembangunan Salomo.
24 After [Solomon’s wife, who was] the daughter of the king of Egypt, moved from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the palace that Solomon’s workers built for her, Solomon [told his workers to] fill in the slopes on the east side of the city.
Tanah di sebelah selatan Rumah TUHAN ditimbun oleh Salomo setelah istrinya, yaitu putri raja Mesir, pindah dari Kota Daud ke istana yang dibangun Salomo untuk dia.
25 Three times each year Solomon [brought to the temple] offerings that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to restore fellowship with Yahweh. He also brought incense to be burned in the presence of Yahweh. And so his men finished building the temple.
Tiga kali setahun Salomo mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian di atas mezbah yang telah didirikannya untuk TUHAN. Ia membakar juga dupa untuk TUHAN. Demikianlah Salomo menyelesaikan pembangunan Rumah TUHAN.
26 King Solomon’s [workers] also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber [city], which is near Elath [city], on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land belonging to the Edom people-group.
Untuk armadanya, Raja Salomo membuat kapal-kapal di Ezion-Geber, dekat Elot di pantai Teluk Akaba, wilayah Edom.
27 [King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
Raja Hiram mengirim awak-awak kapalnya yang berpengalaman untuk berlayar bersama awak-awak kapal Salomo.
28 They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
Pernah mereka berlayar ke negeri Ofir untuk mengambil 14.000 kilogram emas dan membawanya kepada Salomo.
