1 Raja-raja 16
1 Maka berbicaralah TUHAN kepada Nabi Yehu anak Hanani, kata-Nya, "Sampaikanlah kepada Baesa pesan-Ku ini,
During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
2 'Dahulu engkau bukan apa-apa, tetapi engkau sudah Kuangkat menjadi pemimpin atas umat-Ku Israel. Sekarang kau berdosa seperti Yerobeam dan menyebabkan umat-Ku Israel berdosa, sehingga membangkitkan kemarahan-Ku.
“You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
3 Karena itu Aku akan melenyapkan engkau dan keluargamu sama seperti yang telah Kulakukan terhadap Yerobeam.
So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
4 Anggota keluargamu yang mati di kota akan dimakan anjing, dan mereka yang mati di luar kota akan dimakan burung.'"
[The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
5 Pesan TUHAN kepada Baesa dan keluarganya itu disampaikan oleh Nabi Yehu karena Baesa telah melakukan yang jahat pada pemandangan TUHAN, Baesa membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, bukan hanya karena ia telah membunuh seluruh keluarga Yerobeam. Kisah lainnya mengenai Baesa, termasuk kepahlawanannya sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel. Baesa meninggal lalu dimakamkan di Tirza. Ela, putranya, menggantikan dia menjadi raja.
The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
8 Pada tahun kedua puluh enam pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Ela anak Baesa menjadi raja atas Israel. Ia memerintah di Tirza dua tahun lamanya.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
9 Zimri, seorang perwira yang mengepalai separuh dari pasukan berkereta, berkomplot melawan Ela. Pada suatu hari di Tirza, Ela minum-minum sampai mabuk di rumah Arza, kepala rumah tangga istana raja.
[A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
10 Lalu Zimri masuk dan membunuh Ela, kemudian menjadi raja menggantikan Ela. Itu terjadi pada tahun kedua puluh tujuh pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda.
Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
11 Segera sesudah Zimri menjadi raja, ia membunuh seluruh keluarga Raja Baesa. Bahkan semua sanak saudara Baesa yang laki-laki serta kawan-kawan keluarganya pun tidak ada yang luput.
As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
12 Sesuai dengan apa yang dikatakan TUHAN terhadap Baesa melalui Nabi Yehu, seluruh keluarga Baesa terbunuh.
That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
13 Baesa dan Ela, anaknya, menyembah dewa-dewa dan menyebabkan orang Israel berbuat dosa. Karena itu, mereka membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, Allah yang harus disembah oleh orang Israel.
Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
14 Kisah lainnya mengenai Ela sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
15 Pada tahun kedua puluh tujuh pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Zimri menjadi raja Israel dan memerintah di Tirza selama tujuh hari. Pada waktu itu tentara Israel sedang mengepung Gibeton, kota orang Filistin.
So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
16 Ketika mereka mendengar bahwa Zimri telah berkomplot melawan raja dan telah membunuhnya, pada hari itu juga di perkemahan mereka itu, mereka semua mengangkat Omri, panglima mereka, sebagai raja Israel.
The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
17 Kemudian Omri dan pasukannya meninggalkan Gibeton lalu pergi mengepung Tirza.
The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
18 Pada saat Zimri melihat bahwa kota itu sudah direbut, ia masuk ke dalam istana dan membakar istana itu bersama-sama dengan dirinya, maka matilah ia.
When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
19 Itu terjadi karena ia melakukan yang jahat pada pemandangan TUHAN. Sama seperti Raja Yerobeam, Zimri pun berdosa kepada TUHAN dan menyebabkan umat Israel berdosa pula.
He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
20 Kisah lainnya mengenai Zimri, termasuk komplotan pengkhianatan yang direncanakannya, sudah dicatat di dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
21 Terjadilah perpecahan di dalam bangsa Israel karena ada yang ingin supaya Tibni anak Ginat menjadi raja, tetapi ada pula yang menghendaki Omri menjadi raja.
After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
22 Akhirnya mereka yang berpihak kepada Omri menang. Tibni mati dan Omri menjadi raja.
Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
23 Itu terjadi pada tahun ketiga puluh satu pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda. Omri memerintah sebagai raja atas Israel dua belas tahun lamanya. Selama enam tahun yang pertama ia memerintah di Tirza.
Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
24 Tetapi kemudian ia membeli sebuah gunung seharga 6.000 uang perak dari seseorang bernama Semer. Lalu ia membangun sebuah kota di gunung itu dan menamakannya Samaria, menurut nama Semer, pemilik lama gunung itu.
Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
25 Omri melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih besar daripada yang dilakukan oleh raja-raja yang memerintah sebelum dia.
But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
26 Seperti Yerobeam, Omri berdosa serta menyebabkan orang Israel pun berdosa dan menyembah dewa. Oleh karena itu mereka membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, Allah yang harus disembah oleh orang Israel.
[When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
27 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Omri, dan semua yang telah dilakukannya sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
28 Setelah Omri meninggal dan dimakamkan di Samaria, Ahab anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
29 Pada tahun ketiga puluh delapan pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Ahab anak Omri menjadi raja atas Israel dan memerintah di Samaria dua puluh dua tahun lamanya.
Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
30 Ia melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih besar pada pemandangan TUHAN daripada raja-raja sebelumnya.
Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
31 Belum cukup juga baginya hidup berdosa seperti Raja Yerobeam, ia malah mengawini Izebel anak Raja Etbaal dari Sidon, dan ia beribadat kepada Baal.
He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
32 Ia mendirikan rumah ibadat di Samaria untuk Baal, dan di dalam rumah ibadat itu ia membuat sebuah mezbah untuk dewa itu.
He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
33 Ia membuat juga patung Dewi Asyera. Ia melakukan lebih banyak dosa daripada yang dilakukan oleh semua raja Israel yang memerintah sebelum dia. Karena itu ia membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, Allah yang harus disembah oleh orang Israel.
He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
34 Dalam masa pemerintahan Ahab, kota Yerikho didirikan kembali oleh Hiel orang Betel. Tetapi seperti yang telah dikatakan sebelumnya oleh TUHAN melalui Yosua anak Nun, Hiel kehilangan dua anaknya: Abiram yang sulung meninggal ketika Hiel meletakkan dasar kota, dan Segub yang bungsu meninggal ketika Hiel memasang pintu-pintu gerbang kota itu.
During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
