2 Chronicles 34

1 Josiah was eight years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 31 years.

Yosia berumur delapan tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga puluh satu tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.

2 He did things that were pleasing to Yahweh and conducted his life like his ancestor King David had done. He fully obeyed [IDM] all the laws of God.

Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN dan hidup seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya, dan tidak menyimpang ke kanan atau ke kiri.

3 When he had been ruling for almost eight years, while he was still a young man, he began to worship God like his ancestor [King] David had done. Four years later, he began to get rid of all the pagan shrines on hilltops in Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah, and the poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah, and the carved idols and statues of gods.

Pada tahun kedelapan dari pemerintahannya, ketika ia masih muda belia, ia mulai mencari Allah Daud, bapa leluhurnya, dan pada tahun kedua belas ia mulai mentahirkan Yehuda dan Yerusalem dari pada bukit-bukit pengorbanan, tiang-tiang berhala, patung-patung pahatan dan patung-patung tuangan.

4 While he directed them, his workers tore down the altars where people worshiped Baal. They smashed the altars that were near those altars, where people burned incense. They smashed the poles [honor the goddess] Asherah and the idols and statues. They smashed them to bits and scattered the bits over the graves of those who had offered sacrifices to them.

Mezbah-mezbah para Baal dirobohkan di hadapannya; ia menghancurkan pedupaan-pedupaan yang ada di atasnya; ia meremukkan dan menghancurluluhkan tiang-tiang berhala, patung-patung pahatan dan patung-patung tuangan, dan menghamburkannya ke atas kuburan orang-orang yang mempersembahkan korban kepada berhala-berhala itu.

5 They burned the bones of the priests [who had offered sacrifices]; they burned them on their own altars. In that way Josiah caused Jerusalem and other places in Judah to be acceptable places to worship Yahweh again.

Tulang-tulang para imam dibakarnya di atas mezbah-mezbah mereka. Demikianlah ia mentahirkan Yehuda dan Yerusalem.

6 In the towns in [the tribes of] Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, and as far [north] as [the tribe of] Naphtali and in the ruins around all those towns,

Juga di kota-kota Manasye, Efraim dan Simeon, sampai di kota-kota Naftali, yang di mana-mana telah menjadi reruntuhan,

7 Josiah’s [workers] tore down the pagan altars and the poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah, and crushed the idols to powder. They also smashed to pieces all the altars for burning incense throughout Israel. Then Josiah returned to Jerusalem.

ia merobohkan segala mezbah dan tiang berhala, meremukkan segala patung pahatan serta menghancurluluhkannya, dan menghancurkan semua pedupaan di seluruh tanah Israel. Sesudah itu ia kembali ke Yerusalem.

8 When Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years, he [did something else to] cause the land and the temple to be acceptable places to worship Yahweh. He sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the governor of the city and Joah the son of Joahaz, who wrote on a scroll what happened in the city, to repair the temple of Yahweh.

Pada tahun kedelapan belas dari pemerintahannya, setelah selesai mentahirkan negeri dan rumah TUHAN, ia menyuruh Safan bin Azalya, dan Maaseya, penguasa kota, serta Yoah bin Yoahas, bendahara negara, untuk memperbaiki rumah TUHAN, Allahnya.

9 They went to Hilkiah the Supreme Priest and gave him the money that had been brought to the temple. That was the money that the descendants of Levi who guarded the doors of the temple had collected from the people of [the tribes of] Manasseh and Ephraim and [other places in northern] Israel, and also from all the people in Jerusalem and other places in the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.

Maka datanglah mereka kepada imam besar Hilkia dan menyerahkan kepadanya uang yang telah dibawa ke rumah Allah dan yang telah dikumpulkan oleh orang-orang Lewi, yakni oleh para penjaga pintu, dari orang-orang Manasye dan Efraim, dan dari semua orang yang masih tinggal dari Israel, pula dari seluruh orang Yehuda dan Benyamin, dan dari penduduk Yerusalem.

10 Then Hilkiah gave some of the money to the men who had been appointed to supervise the work of repairing the temple. The supervisors paid the men who did the repair work.

Uang itu diberikan mereka ke tangan para pekerja yang diangkat untuk mengawasi rumah TUHAN; dan mereka itu, yang bekerja dalam rumah TUHAN, mengeluarkannya untuk membetulkan dan memperbaiki rumah itu.

11 They also gave some of the money to the carpenters and builders to buy the cut stones and the timber for the joists and the beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to decay.

Mereka memberikannya kepada tukang-tukang kayu dan tukang-tukang bangunan, supaya tukang-tukang itu membeli batu pahat dan kayu untuk tupai-tupai dan untuk memasang balok-balok pada gedung-gedung, yang oleh raja-raja Yehuda dibiarkan roboh.

12 The workers did their work faithfully. Their supervisors were Jahath and Obadiah, who were descendants of [Levi’s son] Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, who were descendants of [Levi’s son] Kohath. All the other descendants of Levi, those who played musical instruments well,

Orang-orang itu melakukan pekerjaan itu dengan setia. Orang-orang yang diangkat menjadi pengawas mereka ialah: Yahat dan Obaja, orang-orang Lewi dari bani Merari, sedangkan Zakharia dan Mesulam dari bani Kehat mengepalai semua. Dan semua orang Lewi yang pandai memainkan alat-alat musik,

13 supervised all the workers as they did their various jobs. Some of the descendants of Levi were secretaries and some kept records and some guarded the gates [of the temple].

mengepalai kuli-kuli dan mengiringi semua tukang dalam pekerjaan apapun. Dari antara orang-orang Lewi itu ada yang menjadi panitera, pengatur atau penunggu pintu gerbang.

14 While they were giving to the supervisors the money that had been taken to the temple, Hilkiah the [Supreme] Priest found a scroll on which were written the laws that Yahweh had told Moses to give to the people.

Ketika mereka mengeluarkan uang yang telah dibawa ke rumah TUHAN, imam Hilkia menemukan kitab Taurat TUHAN, yang diberikan dengan perantaraan Musa.

15 So Hilkiah said to Shaphan, “I have found in the temple a scroll on which are written the laws [that God gave to Moses]!” Then Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan.

Maka berkatalah Hilkia kepada Safan, panitera negara itu: "Aku telah menemukan kitab Taurat di rumah TUHAN!" Lalu Hilkia memberikan kitab itu kepada Safan,

16 Shaphan [took the scroll] to the king and said to him, “Your officials are doing everything that you told them to do.

dan Safan membawa kitab itu kepada raja. Ia juga menyampaikan kabar kepada raja: "Segala sesuatu yang ditugaskan kepada hamba-hambamu, telah mereka laksanakan.

17 They have taken the money that was in the temple, and they have given it to the men who will supervise the workers who will repair the temple.”

Mereka telah mengambil seluruh uang yang terdapat di rumah TUHAN dan memberikannya ke tangan para pengawas dan para pekerja."

18 Then Shaphan said to the king, “[I have brought to you] a scroll [that] Hilkiah gave to me.” And Shaphan started to read it to the king.

Safan, panitera negara itu, memberitahukan juga kepada raja: "Imam Hilkia telah memberikan kitab kepadaku," lalu Safan membacakan sebagian di depan raja.

19 When the king heard the laws [that were written in the scroll], he tore his clothes [because he was very dismayed/worried].

Segera sesudah raja mendengar perkataan Taurat itu, dikoyakkannyalah pakaiannya.

20 Then he gave these instructions to Hilkiah, to Shaphan’s son Ahikam, to Micah’s son Abdon, to Shaphan, and to Asaiah the king’s special advisor:

Kemudian raja memberi perintah kepada Hilkia, kepada Ahikam bin Safan, kepada Abdon bin Mikha, kepada Safan, panitera negara itu, dan kepada Asaya, hamba raja, katanya:

21 “Go and ask Yahweh for me, and for all his people who are still alive in Judah and Israel, about what is written in this scroll that has been found. Because [it is clear that] Yahweh is very angry with us because our ancestors disobeyed what Yahweh said; they did not obey the laws that are written on this scroll.”

"Pergilah, mintalah petunjuk TUHAN bagiku, bagi yang masih tinggal di Israel dan di Yehuda tentang perkataan kitab yang ditemukan ini, sebab hebat kehangatan murka TUHAN yang dicurahkan kepada kita, oleh karena nenek moyang kita tidak memelihara firman TUHAN dengan berbuat tepat seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab ini!"

22 So Hilkiah and the others went to talk with a woman whose name was Huldah, who was a prophetess who lived in the newer part of Jerusalem. Her husband Shallum who was the son of Tikvah, took care of the robes that were worn [in the temple].

Maka pergilah Hilkia dengan orang-orang yang disuruh raja kepada nabiah Hulda, isteri seorang yang mengurus pakaian-pakaian, yaitu Salum bin Tokhat bin Hasra, penunggu pakaian-pakaian; nabiah itu tinggal di Yerusalem, di perkampungan baru. Mereka berbicara kepadanya sebagaimana yang diperintahkan.

23 [When they told her what the king had said, ] she said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says: ‘Go back and tell the king who sent you

Perempuan itu menjawab mereka: "Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel! Katakanlah kepada orang yang menyuruh kamu kepada-Ku!

24 that this is what Yahweh says: “Listen to this carefully. I am going to cause a disaster to strike Jerusalem and all the people who live here. I will cause them to experience the curses that were written in the scroll that was read to the king of Judah.

Beginilah firman TUHAN: Sesungguhnya Aku akan mendatangkan malapetaka atas tempat ini dan atas penduduknya, yakni segala kutuk yang tertulis dalam kitab yang telah dibacakan di depan raja Yehuda,

25 I will do that because they have rejected me, and they burn incense to [honor] other gods. They have caused me to become very angry because of all the idols that they have made (OR, because of all the wicked things that they have done), [and my anger is like] a fire that will not be extinguished.

karena mereka meninggalkan Aku dan membakar korban kepada allah lain dengan maksud menimbulkan sakit hati-Ku dengan segala pekerjaan tangan mereka; sebab itu nyala murka-Ku akan dicurahkan ke tempat ini dengan tidak padam-padam.

26 The king of Judah sent you to ask what I, Yahweh, want. Go and tell him that this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israelis worship, say about what you read:

Tetapi kepada raja Yehuda yang telah menyuruh kamu untuk meminta petunjuk TUHAN, harus kamu katakan demikian: Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Mengenai perkataan yang telah kaudengar itu,

27 “Because you heeded [what was written in the scroll], and you humbled yourself when you heard what I said to warn [about what would happen to] this city and the people who live here, and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you.

oleh karena engkau sudah menyesal dan engkau merendahkan diri di hadapan Allah pada waktu engkau mendengar firman-Nya terhadap tempat ini dan terhadap penduduknya, oleh karena engkau merendahkan diri di hadapan-Ku, mengoyakkan pakaianmu dan menangis di hadapan-Ku, Akupun telah mendengarnya, demikianlah firman TUHAN,

28 So I will allow you to die and be buried peacefully. I will cause a great disaster to strike this place and the people who live here, but you will not [be alive to] see it.”’” So they reported her reply to the king.

maka sesungguhnya Aku akan mengumpulkan engkau kepada nenek moyangmu, dan engkau akan dikebumikan ke dalam kuburmu dengan damai, dan matamu tidak akan melihat segala malapetaka yang akan Kudatangkan atas tempat ini dan atas penduduknya." Lalu mereka menyampaikan jawab itu kepada raja.

29 Then the king summoned all the elders of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea.

Sesudah itu raja menyuruh orang mengumpulkan semua tua-tua Yehuda dan Yerusalem.

30 They went up together to the temple with the leaders of Judah and many other people of Jerusalem and the priests and other descendants of Levi, from the least important to the most important ones. And while they listened, the king read to them everything that was in the scroll containing God’s laws that had been found in the temple.

Kemudian pergilah raja ke rumah TUHAN bersama-sama semua orang Yehuda dan penduduk Yerusalem, para imam, orang-orang Lewi, dan seluruh orang awam, baik yang besar maupun yang masih kecil. Dengan didengar mereka ia membacakan segala perkataan dari kitab perjanjian yang ditemukan di rumah TUHAN itu.

31 Then the king stood next to the pillar [at the entrance to the temple, where kings stood when they announced something important], and while Yahweh was listening, he repeated his promise to very sincerely and completely obey Yahweh and all his commands and regulations and decrees that were written on the scroll.

Sesudah itu berdirilah raja pada tempatnya dan diikatnyalah perjanjian di hadapan TUHAN untuk hidup dengan mengikuti TUHAN, dan tetap menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya, peraturan-peraturan-Nya dan ketetapan-ketetapan-Nya dengan segenap hatinya dan dengan segenap jiwanya dan untuk melakukan perkataan perjanjian yang tertulis dalam kitab itu.

32 Then the king said that everyone who lived in Jerusalem and from [the tribe of] Benjamin should promise that they also would obey those laws. And they did that, agreeing that they would keep the agreement that God, whom their ancestors had worshiped, had made with them.

Ia menyuruh semua orang yang berada di Yerusalem dan Benyamin ikut serta dalam perjanjian itu. Dan penduduk Yerusalem berbuat menurut perjanjian Allah, yakni Allah nenek moyang mereka.

33 Josiah [instructed his workers to] remove all the detestable idols from everywhere in the land of the Israeli people, and he commanded that all the people from Israel who were there should worship [only] Yahweh their God. And as long as Josiah was alive, the people did what was pleasing to Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].

Yosia menjauhkan segala dewa kekejian dari semua daerah orang Israel dan menyuruh semua orang yang ada di Israel beribadah kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka. Maka sepanjang hidup Yosia mereka tidak menyimpang mengikuti TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka.
