2 Tawarikh 12
1 Setelah kedudukan Rehabeam sebagai raja telah menjadi kuat, ia dan seluruh rakyat Israel mengabaikan hukum TUHAN,
And it comes to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he has forsaken the Law of YHWH, and all Israel with him.
2 dan tidak setia kepada-Nya. Karena itu TUHAN menghukum mereka. Pada tahun kelima pemerintahan Rehabeam, Sisak raja Mesir menyerang Yerusalem
And it comes to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt has come up against Jerusalem—because they trespassed against YHWH—
3 dengan 1.200 kereta perang, 60.000 tentara berkuda, dan sejumlah prajurit yang tak terhitung banyaknya, termasuk pasukan Libia, Suki dan Sudan.
with one thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who have come with him out of Egypt—Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim—
4 Ia merebut kota-kota berbenteng di Yehuda lalu maju sampai ke Yerusalem.
and he captures the cities of the bulwarks that [are] of Judah, and comes to Jerusalem.
5 Pada waktu itu Raja Rehabeam dan para pemimpin Yehuda telah berkumpul di Yerusalem karena melarikan diri dari Sisak. Nabi Semaya datang kepada mereka dan berkata, "Begini kata TUHAN, 'Kamu meninggalkan Aku, jadi sekarang Aku pun meninggalkan kamu sehingga kamu dikuasai oleh Sisak.'"
And Shemaiah the prophet has come to Rehoboam and the heads of Judah who have been gathered to Jerusalem [to escape] from the presence of Shishak, and says to them, “Thus said YHWH: You have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of Shishak”;
6 Raja dan para pemimpin mengakui bahwa mereka sudah berdosa. Mereka berkata, "Apa yang dilakukan TUHAN itu adil."
and the heads of Israel are humbled—and the king—and they say, “YHWH [is] righteous.”
7 Ketika TUHAN melihat bahwa mereka telah merendahkan diri, Ia berbicara lagi kepada Semaya, kata-Nya, "Karena mereka mengakui dosa mereka, maka Aku tak akan membinasakan mereka. Aku akan segera meluputkan mereka; Yerusalem tidak akan hancur. Meskipun begitu, Sisak
And when YHWH sees that they have been humbled, a word of YHWH has been [sent] to Shemaiah, saying, “They have been humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a little thing for an escape, and I do not pour out My fury in Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak;
8 akan menguasai mereka, supaya mereka tahu perbedaan antara mengabdi kepada-Ku dan mengabdi kepada penguasa-penguasa dunia."
but they become servants to him, and they know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.”
9 Maka datanglah Raja Sisak menyerang kota Yerusalem dan merampas barang-barang berharga yang terdapat di Rumah TUHAN dan di istana raja, juga perisai-perisai emas yang dibuat oleh Raja Salomo.
And Shishak king of Egypt comes up against Jerusalem, and takes the treasures of the house of YHWH and the treasures of the house of the king—he has taken the whole—and he takes the shields of gold that Solomon had made;
10 Sebagai gantinya Rehabeam membuat perisai-perisai perunggu, dan mempercayakannya kepada para perwira yang mengawal pintu gerbang istana.
and King Rehoboam makes shields of bronze in their stead, and has given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;
11 Setiap kali raja pergi ke Rumah TUHAN, para pengawal membawa perisai-perisai itu, kemudian mengembalikannya ke kamar jaga.
and it comes to pass, from the time of the going in of the king to the house of YHWH, the runners have come in and lifted them up, and brought them back to the chamber of the runners.
12 Karena raja merendahkan diri di hadapan TUHAN, dan juga karena masih ada hal-hal yang baik di Yehuda maka redalah kemarahan TUHAN kepada Rehabeam dan tidak membinasakan dia sama sekali.
And in his being humbled, the wrath of YHWH has turned back from him, so as not to destroy to completion; and also, there have been good things in Judah.
13 Rehabeam memerintah di Yerusalem dan kekuasaannya semakin besar. Ia berumur 41 tahun ketika menjadi raja, dan ia memerintah 17 tahun lamanya di Yerusalem, kota yang dari seluruh wilayah Israel dipilih TUHAN untuk menjadi tempat ibadat kepada-Nya. Ibu Rehabeam adalah Naama dari negeri Amon.
And King Rehoboam strengthens himself in Jerusalem and reigns; for Rehoboam [is] a son of forty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH has chosen to put His Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess,
14 Rehabeam berbuat jahat karena tidak berusaha melakukan kehendak TUHAN.
and he does evil, for he has not prepared his heart to seek YHWH.
15 Kisah tentang Rehabeam dari mula sampai akhir dan silsilahnya dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Nabi Semaya dan dalam buku Sejarah Nabi Ido. Antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam selalu saja terjadi peperangan.
And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are for] all the days;
16 Rehabeam meninggal dan dikuburkan di makam raja-raja di Kota Daud. Abia putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
and Rehoboam lies with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David, and his son Abijah reigns in his stead.
