2 Raja-raja 13
1 Pada tahun kedua puluh tiga pemerintahan Yoas anak Ahazia atas Yehuda, Yoahas anak Yehu menjadi raja Israel, dan ia memerintah di Samaria tujuh belas tahun lamanya.
In the three-and-twentieth 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.
2 Seperti Raja Yerobeam yang memerintah sebelum dia, Yoahas berdosa kepada TUHAN dan menyebabkan orang Israel berdosa juga. Ia tidak pernah meninggalkan perbuatan-perbuatannya yang jahat.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from them.
3 Karena itu TUHAN marah kepada Israel sehingga Ia membiarkan Hazael raja Siria dan Benhadad anaknya, berkali-kali mengalahkan Israel.
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael, all those days.
4 Lalu Yoahas berdoa kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN mendengar doanya itu, karena TUHAN melihat betapa kejamnya raja Siria menindas orang Israel.
(And Jehoahaz besought Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
5 TUHAN memberikan kepada orang Israel seorang pemimpin yang melepaskan mereka dari kekuasaan Siria sehingga mereka hidup tenteram lagi seperti semula.
And Jehovah gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before.
6 Meskipun begitu orang Israel tidak berhenti melakukan dosa-dosa yang dimulai oleh Raja Yerobeam. Mereka terus melakukan dosa-dosa itu, dan membiarkan patung Dewi Asyera tetap berada di Samaria.
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin: they walked therein; and there remained also the Asherah in Samaria.)
7 Angkatan perang Israel sudah dimusnahkan oleh raja Siria sehingga Raja Yoahas hanya mempunyai 50 tentara berkuda, 10 kereta perang, dan 10.000 prajurit.
For he had left of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.
8 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoahas dan semua jasa kepahlawanannya dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
And the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Ia meninggal dan dikuburkan di Samaria. Yoas anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
10 Pada tahun ketiga puluh tujuh pemerintahan Raja Yoas atas Yehuda, Yoas anak Yoahas menjadi raja Israel dan memerintah di Samaria 16 tahun lamanya.
In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, for sixteen years.
11 Ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN karena menuruti kejahatan Raja Yerobeam yang telah menyebabkan orang Israel berbuat dosa.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah; he departed not from any of the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin: he walked therein.
12 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoas, termasuk kepahlawanannya dalam pertempuran melawan Amazia raja Yehuda, dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Yoas meninggal dan dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja di Samaria. Yerobeam II anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And Joash slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne; and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Pada suatu waktu Nabi Elisa sakit keras, dan Raja Yoas datang menengok dia. Ketika dilihatnya Elisa hampir mati, raja itu menangis dan berkata, "Bapakku, Bapakku, pembela Israel yang besar!"
And Elisha fell sick of his sickness in which he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, My father, my father! the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof!
15 "Ambillah busur dan anak panah!" perintah Elisa kepadanya. Yoas mengambilnya,
And Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took a bow and arrows.
16 lalu Elisa menyuruh dia bersiap-siap untuk memanah. Raja pun bersiap, dan Elisa meletakkan tangannya di atas tangan raja.
And he said to the king of Israel, Put thy hand upon the bow. And he put his hand [upon it]; and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands,
17 Kemudian sesuai dengan perintah nabi itu, raja membuka jendela yang menghadap ke Siria. "Lepaskanlah panahmu!" perintah Elisa. Segera setelah raja melepaskan panah itu, nabi itu berseru, "Engkaulah panah TUHAN. Dengan panah itu TUHAN akan mengalahkan Siria. Engkau akan berperang melawan orang Siria di Afek sampai engkau mengalahkan mereka."
and said, Open the window eastward. And he opened [it]. And Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, An arrow of Jehovah's deliverance, even an arrow of deliverance from the Syrians; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou hast consumed [them].
18 Elisa menyuruh Raja Yoas mengambil panah-panahnya yang lain dan memukulkannya pada tanah. Raja memukul tanah tiga kali, lalu berhenti.
And he said, Take the arrows. And he took [them]. And he said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
19 Elisa marah, dan berkata, "Seharusnya engkau memukul sampai lima atau enam kali, maka engkau dapat menghancurleburkan bangsa Siria. Tetapi sekarang engkau akan mengalahkannya hanya tiga kali."
And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then wouldest thou have smitten the Syrians till thou hadst consumed [them]; whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
20 Tak lama kemudian Elisa meninggal dan dikuburkan. Pada masa itu gerombolan-gerombolan Moab biasanya menyerang negeri Israel sekali setahun.
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
21 Pada suatu hari ketika beberapa orang sedang menguburkan orang mati, tiba-tiba mereka melihat gerombolan Moab datang. Langsung mereka melemparkan saja mayat itu ke dalam kuburan Elisa lalu lari. Begitu mayat itu tersentuh pada kerangka Elisa, mayat itu hidup kembali lalu berdiri.
And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw the band, and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha; and the man went [down], and touched the bones of Elisha, and he revived, and stood upon his feet.
22 Sepanjang pemerintahan Yoas, Hazael raja Siria menindas orang Israel.
And Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 Tetapi TUHAN kasihan kepada umat-Nya dan mengampuni mereka. Ia tidak mau membiarkan mereka dimusnahkan melainkan menolong mereka, demi perjanjian-Nya dengan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub. Sampai sekarang tidak pernah Ia melupakan umat-Nya.
And Jehovah was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and he would not destroy them, neither did he cast them from his presence up to that time.
24 Kemudian Hazael raja Siria meninggal, dan Benhadad anaknya menjadi raja.
And Hazael king of Syria died, and Ben-Hadad his son reigned in his stead.
25 Lalu Yoas raja Israel mengalahkan Benhadad tiga kali dan mengambil kembali kota-kota yang telah direbut oleh Benhadad pada masa pemerintahan Raja Yoahas ayah Yoas.
And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Ben-Hadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
