1 Raja-raja 14
1 Pada waktu itu anak laki-laki Yerobeam yang bernama Abia jatuh sakit.
It was at that time that Abijah, Jeroboam's son, fell ill.
2 Berkatalah Yerobeam kepada istrinya, "Bersiap-siaplah untuk pergi ke Silo ke rumah Nabi Ahia yang dahulu mengatakan bahwa saya akan menjadi raja Israel. Tetapi menyamarlah supaya orang tidak tahu siapa engkau.
So Jeroboam told his wife, “Please go and disguise yourself so nobody will know you're Jeroboam's wife. Then go to Shiloh and look for Ahijah the prophet. He was the one who told me I would become king over this people.
3 Bawalah untuk dia sepuluh roti, sedikit kue dan madu sebotol. Tanyalah kepadanya apa yang akan terjadi dengan Abia, anak kita. Nabi itu akan memberitahukannya kepadamu."
Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey for him. He will explain to you what will happen to the boy.”
4 Maka pergilah istri Yerobeam ke rumah Nabi Ahia di Silo. Nabi itu tidak bisa melihat lagi karena ia sudah tua sekali.
Jeroboam's wife did as she was told. She got up and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Ahijah could not see—he had become blind because of his age.
5 Tetapi TUHAN memberitahukan kepadanya bahwa istri Yerobeam sedang datang untuk menanyakan tentang anaknya yang sakit. Dan TUHAN juga memberitahukan kepada Nabi Ahia apa yang harus dikatakannya nanti. Ketika istri Yerobeam tiba di sana, ia berbuat seolah-olah ia orang lain.
But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Look, Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he's ill. This is what you are to tell her, because she'll come in disguise.”
6 Tetapi begitu Nabi Ahia mendengar bunyi langkahnya di pintu, ia berkata, "Mari masuk, saya tahu engkau istri Yerobeam. Tak usah berpura-pura. Ada berita buruk untukmu.
So as soon as Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why do you bother coming in disguise? I have been given some bad news for you.
7 Pulanglah dan beritahukan kepada Yerobeam bahwa inilah yang dikatakan TUHAN, Allah Israel, 'Engkau telah Kupilih dari antara rakyat dan Kujadikan penguasa atas umat-Ku Israel.
Go and tell Jeroboam this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I picked you from the masses and I made you ruler over my people Israel.
8 Engkau telah Kuberikan kerajaan yang Kurenggut dari keturunan Daud. Tetapi engkau tidak seperti hamba-Ku Daud. Ia setia betul kepada-Ku dan taat kepada perintah-Ku. Ia melakukan hanya yang Kusetujui.
I took the kingdom from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and was totally committed to following me, only doing what was right in my sight.
9 Tetapi engkau melakukan kejahatan yang lebih besar daripada yang dilakukan oleh mereka yang memerintah sebelum engkau. Engkau meninggalkan Aku dan membangkitkan amarah-Ku dengan membuat berhala serta patung-patung dari logam untuk disembah.
You have done more evil than all those who lived before you. You have gone and made other gods for yourself, idols made of molten metal that made me angry. You have tossed me aside.
10 Karena itu Aku akan mendatangkan celaka ke atas keluargamu. Semua keturunanmu yang laki-laki, apa pun kedudukannya, akan dibunuh. Aku akan melenyapkan keluargamu, sama seperti orang menyapu bersih kotoran.
Now pay attention, because as a result of this I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will totally exterminate every one of your descendants in Israel, whether slave or free. I will burn the house of Jeroboam like a man burning refuse until it's all gone.
11 Anggota keluargamu yang mati di kota akan dimakan anjing, dan yang mati di luar kota akan dimakan burung. Ingat, Akulah TUHAN yang berbicara!'"
Those of Jeroboam's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds. For the Lord has spoken.
12 Selanjutnya Nabi Ahia berkata kepada istri Yerobeam, "Nah, pulanglah sekarang! Pada saat engkau memasuki kota, anakmu itu akan meninggal.
As for you, get up and go home. As soon as you arrive in the city, the child will die.
13 Seluruh rakyat Israel akan berkabung dan menguburkannya. Dialah satu-satunya anggota keluarga Yerobeam yang akan dikubur secara terhormat, sebab hanya dia yang berkenan di hati TUHAN, Allah Israel.
All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. He alone of Jeroboam's family will be buried in a tomb because only in him has the Lord, the God of Israel found anything good—of the whole family of Jeroboam.
14 Israel akan diberi TUHAN seorang raja yang akan mengakhiri kedudukan keturunan Yerobeam sebagai raja. Harinya sudah tiba! Mulai sekarang
The Lord will choose for himself a king to rule over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam. This is starting to happen even now!
15 TUHAN akan menghukum Israel sehingga tergoyang-goyang seperti gelagah di dalam air. TUHAN akan mencabut rakyat Israel dari negeri yang baik ini yang diberikan-Nya kepada leluhur mereka. Ia akan menceraiberaikan mereka ke seberang Sungai Efrat, karena mereka telah membangkitkan kemarahan-Nya dengan membuat patung-patung dewi Asyera.
The Lord will strike Israel like a reed jerked to and fro by the water. He will pull up Israel by the roots from this good land that he gave their forefathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their pagan Asherah poles, making the Lord angry.
16 TUHAN akan meninggalkan Israel karena Yerobeam telah berdosa dan menyebabkan orang Israel pun berdosa juga."
He will abandon Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, those that he committed himself, and those he made Israel commit.”
17 Setelah itu berangkatlah istri Yerobeam ke Tirza. Pada saat ia masuk ke rumahnya, anaknya meninggal.
Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she stepped through the doorway of her home, the boy died.
18 Rakyat Israel berkabung lalu menguburkannya seperti yang telah dikatakan TUHAN melalui Nabi Ahia, hamba-Nya.
All of Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yerobeam, yaitu pemerintahannya dan peperangan yang dipimpinnya, sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
The rest of what Jeroboam did, how he engaged in warfare and how he reigned, they are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
20 Dua puluh dua tahun lamanya Yerobeam memerintah sebagai raja, kemudian ia meninggal dan dikubur. Anaknya yang bernama Nadab menggantikan dia sebagai raja.
Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and then he died. His son Nadab succeeded him as king.
21 Ketika Rehabeam, anak Salomo, menjadi raja Yehuda, ia berumur empat puluh satu tahun. Ia memerintah tujuh belas tahun lamanya di Yerusalem. Dari seluruh Israel kota itu telah dikhususkan TUHAN sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Nya. Ibu Rehabeam ialah Naama dari bangsa Amon.
Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. He was forty-one when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel where he would be honored. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
22 Bangsa Yehuda melakukan yang jahat pada pemandangan TUHAN. Perbuatan mereka lebih membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN daripada segala perbuatan leluhur mereka.
Judah did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because of the sins they committed they made his jealous anger even greater than all their fathers had done.
23 Di atas bukit-bukit dan di bawah pohon-pohon besar, mereka membangun tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala, dan mendirikan tugu-tugu serta patung-patung dewi Asyera untuk disembah.
They also set up for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
24 Di tempat-tempat itu mereka mengadakan pelacuran sebagai penyembahan kepada dewa. Bahkan laki-laki pun bertugas sebagai pelacur. Orang Yehuda melakukan semua perbuatan keji yang dilakukan oleh bangsa-bangsa yang telah diusir TUHAN pada waktu orang Israel memasuki negeri itu.
There were even cult prostitutes in the land. They followed all the disgusting practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
25 Pada tahun kelima pemerintahan Rehabeam, Sisak, raja Mesir menyerang Yerusalem.
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam's reign, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked Jerusalem.
26 Ia merampas semua barang berharga yang terdapat di Rumah TUHAN dan di istana raja, juga perisai-perisai emas yang dibuat oleh Salomo.
He took the treasures of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made.
27 Maka sebagai gantinya Raja Rehabeam membuat perisai-perisai perunggu, dan mempercayakannya kepada para perwira yang mengawal pintu gerbang istana raja.
So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and handed them over to the captains of the guard to look after. They stood on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
28 Setiap kali raja ke Rumah TUHAN, para pengawal membawa perisai-perisai itu, kemudian mengembalikannya ke kamar jaga.
Whenever the king went to the Lord's Temple, the guards would carry the shields. Afterwards they returned them to the guardroom.
29 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Rehabeam sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.
The rest of what happened in Rehoboam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
30 Semasa pemerintahan Rehabeam, selalu ada perang antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam.
Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
31 Kemudian Rehabeam meninggal dan dikubur di makam raja-raja di Kota Daud. Abiam, putranya, menggantikan dia sebagai raja.
Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.
