2 Kings 13

1 In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.

Dalam tahun kedua puluh tiga zaman Yoas bin Ahazia, raja Yehuda, Yoahas, anak Yehu, menjadi raja atas Israel di Samaria; ia memerintah tujuh belas tahun lamanya.

2 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from it.

Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, dan ia hidup menuruti dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula. Ia tidak menjauhinya.

3 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.

Sebab itu bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Israel, lalu diserahkan-Nyalah mereka ke dalam tangan Hazael, raja Aram, dan ke dalam tangan Benhadad, anak Hazael, selama zaman itu.

4 Jehoahaz begged the LORD, and the LORD listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.

Tetapi kemudian Yoahas memohon belas kasihan TUHAN, dan TUHAN mendengarkan dia, sebab Ia telah melihat, bagaimana beratnya orang Israel ditindas oleh raja Aram.

5 (The LORD gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.

--TUHAN memberikan kepada orang Israel seorang penolong, sehingga mereka lepas dari tangan Aram dan dapat duduk di kemah-kemah mereka seperti yang sudah-sudah.

6 Nevertheless they didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked in them; and the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)

Hanya mereka tidak menjauh dari dosa-dosa keluarga Yerobeam, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula, melainkan mereka terus hidup dalam dosa itu. Juga patung Asyera masih berdiri di Samaria. --

7 For he didn’t leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them and made them like the dust in threshing.

Sebab tidak ada laskar ditinggalkan pada Yoahas, selain dari lima puluh orang berkuda dan sepuluh kereta dan sepuluh ribu orang berjalan kaki, sebab raja Aram telah membinasakan mereka dan meniupkan mereka seperti abu pengirikan.

8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoahas dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?

9 Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.

Kemudian Yoahas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di Samaria. Maka Yoas, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.

Dalam tahun ketiga puluh tujuh zaman Yoas, raja Yehuda, Yoas anak Yoahas, menjadi raja atas Israel di Samaria. Ia memerintah enam belas tahun lamanya.

11 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.

Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN. Ia tidak menjauh dari segala dosa yang disuruh Yerobeam bin Nebat dilakukan orang Israel, tetapi terus hidup dalam dosa itu.

12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoas dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bagaimana ia berperang melawan Amazia, raja Yehuda, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?

13 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

Setelah Yoas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, maka duduklah Yerobeam di atas takhta ayahnya. Dan Yoas dikuburkan di Samaria di samping raja Israel.

14 Now Elisha became sick with the illness of which he died; and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”

Ketika Elisa menderita sakit yang menyebabkan kematiannya, datanglah Yoas, raja Israel, kepadanya dan menangis oleh karena dia, katanya: "Bapaku, bapaku! Kereta Israel dan orang-orangnya yang berkuda!"

15 Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.

Berkatalah Elisa kepadanya: "Ambillah busur dan anak-anak panah!" Lalu diambillah busur dan anak-anak panah.

16 He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow;” and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.

Berkatalah ia kepada raja Israel: "Tariklah busurmu!" Lalu ia menarik busurnya, tetapi Elisa menaruh tangannya di atas tangan raja,

17 He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “The LORD’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”

serta berkata: "Bukalah jendela yang di sebelah timur!" Dan ketika dibukanya, berkatalah Elisa: "Panahlah!" Lalu dipanahnya. Kemudian berkatalah Elisa: "Itulah anak panah kemenangan dari pada TUHAN, anak panah kemenangan terhadap Aram. Engkau akan mengalahkan Aram di Afek sampai habis lenyap."

18 He said, “Take the arrows;” and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground;” and he struck three times, and stopped.

Sesudah itu berkatalah ia: "Ambillah anak-anak panah itu!" Lalu diambilnya. Setelah diambilnya, berkatalah Elisa kepada raja Israel: "Pukulkanlah itu ke tanah!" Lalu dipukulkannya tiga kali, kemudian ia berhenti.

19 The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.”

Tetapi gusarlah abdi Allah itu kepadanya serta berkata: "Seharusnya engkau memukul lima atau enam kali! Dengan berbuat demikian engkau akan memukul Aram sampai habis lenyap. Tetapi sekarang, hanya tiga kali saja engkau akan memukul Aram."

20 Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

Sesudah itu matilah Elisa, lalu ia dikuburkan. Adapun gerombolan Moab sering memasuki negeri itu pada pergantian tahun.

21 As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a band of raiders; and they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. As soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

Pada suatu kali orang sedang menguburkan mayat. Ketika mereka melihat gerombolan datang, dicampakkan merekalah mayat itu ke dalam kubur Elisa, lalu pergi. Dan demi mayat itu kena kepada tulang-tulang Elisa, maka hiduplah ia kembali dan bangun berdiri.

22 Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

Hazael, raja Aram, menindas orang Israel sepanjang umur Yoahas.

23 But the LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and favored them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them and he didn’t cast them from his presence as yet.

Tetapi TUHAN mengasihani serta menyayangi mereka, dan Ia berpaling kepada mereka oleh karena perjanjian-Nya dengan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub, jadi Ia tidak mau memusnahkan mereka dan belum membuang mereka pada waktu itu dari hadapan-Nya.

24 Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.

Kemudian matilah Hazael, raja Aram, maka Benhadad, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

25 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.

Yoas bin Yoahas merebut kembali dari tangan Benhadad bin Hazael kota-kota yang dalam peperangan direbut Benhadad dari tangan Yoahas, ayah Yoas. Tiga kali Yoas mengalahkan dia dan mendapat kembali kota-kota Israel.
