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 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.
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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’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.
3 Karena itu TUHAN marah kepada Israel sehingga Ia membiarkan Hazael raja Siria dan Benhadad anaknya, berkali-kali mengalahkan Israel.
Yahweh’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.
4 Lalu Yoahas berdoa kepada TUHAN, dan TUHAN mendengar doanya itu, karena TUHAN melihat betapa kejamnya raja Siria menindas orang Israel.
Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how 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.
(Yahweh 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.
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 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.)
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 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.
8 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoahas dan semua jasa kepahlawanannya dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
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?
9 Ia meninggal dan dikuburkan di Samaria. Yoas anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.
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, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began 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.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’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.
12 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoas, termasuk kepahlawanannya dalam pertempuran melawan Amazia raja Yehuda, dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
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?
13 Yoas meninggal dan dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja di Samaria. Yerobeam II anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. 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!"
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!”
15 "Ambillah busur dan anak panah!" perintah Elisa kepadanya. Yoas mengambilnya,
Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.
16 lalu Elisa menyuruh dia bersiap-siap untuk memanah. Raja pun bersiap, dan Elisa meletakkan tangannya di atas tangan raja.
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.
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."
He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “Yahweh’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”
18 Elisa menyuruh Raja Yoas mengambil panah-panahnya yang lain dan memukulkannya pada tanah. Raja memukul tanah tiga kali, lalu berhenti.
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.
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."
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.”
20 Tak lama kemudian Elisa meninggal dan dikuburkan. Pada masa itu gerombolan-gerombolan Moab biasanya menyerang negeri Israel sekali setahun.
Elisha died, and they buried him. Now 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.
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.
22 Sepanjang pemerintahan Yoas, Hazael raja Siria menindas orang Israel.
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.
But Yahweh 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.
24 Kemudian Hazael raja Siria meninggal, dan Benhadad anaknya menjadi raja.
Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
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.
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.
