2 Raja-raja 14
1 Pada tahun kedua pemerintahan Yoas anak Yoahas atas Israel, Amazia anak Yoas menjadi raja Yehuda.
In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
2 Pada waktu itu ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem dua puluh sembilan tahun lamanya. Ibunya ialah Yoadan dari Yerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 Amazia melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN, tetapi ia tidak seperti Daud, leluhurnya. Seperti ayahnya,
He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 ia pun tidak meruntuhkan tempat-tempat penyembahan dewa, sehingga rakyat terus saja mempersembahkan kurban dan membakar dupa di sana.
However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
5 Segera setelah kuat kedudukannya, Amazia menghukum mati pegawai-pegawai yang membunuh ayahnya.
As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
6 Tetapi anak-anak pegawai-pegawai itu tidak dibunuhnya, karena ia menuruti perintah TUHAN dalam Buku Musa yang berbunyi, "Jangan menghukum mati orang tua karena kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh anak-anak mereka, dan jangan menghukum mati anak-anak karena kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh orang tua mereka. Setiap orang hanya boleh dihukum mati karena kejahatan yang dilakukannya sendiri."
but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
7 Dalam suatu pertempuran, Amazia membunuh 10.000 prajurit Edom di Lembah Asin, dan merebut kota Sela. Kota itu dinamakannya Yokteel. Sampai sekarang kota itu masih bernama Yokteel.
He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.
8 Kemudian Amazia mengirim utusan kepada Yoas raja Israel untuk menantang dia berperang.
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”
9 Tetapi Raja Yoas mengirim jawaban ini, "Suatu waktu semak berduri di Pegunungan Libanon mengirim berita ini kepada pohon cemara, 'Hai pohon cemara, berikanlah anak gadismu kepada anakku untuk menjadi istrinya.' Tetapi kemudian lewatlah di situ seekor binatang hutan yang menginjak-injak semak berduri itu.
Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
10 Engkau, Amazia, telah menjadi sombong, karena engkau telah mengalahkan orang Edom. Nah, bukankah kemenangan itu sudah cukup? Sebaiknya kautinggal saja di rumah! Untuk apa mencari-cari persoalan yang hanya akan mencelakakan dirimu dan rakyatmu?"
You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?”
11 Tetapi Amazia raja Yehuda tidak menghiraukan kata-kata Yoas raja Israel. Karena itu, Raja Yoas dengan anak buahnya berangkat ke Bet-Semes di Yehuda dan berperang dengan Amazia di sana.
But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Tentara Yehuda dikalahkan dan semua prajuritnya lari pulang ke rumahnya masing-masing.
Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
13 Yoas menangkap Amazia, lalu pergi ke Yerusalem dan meruntuhkan tembok kota itu sepanjang kurang lebih dua ratus meter, mulai dari Pintu Gerbang Efraim sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Sudut.
Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
14 Semua emas dan perak serta semua perkakas yang ditemukannya di Rumah TUHAN, juga semua harta benda istana, bersama beberapa orang sandera diangkut oleh Yoas ke Samaria.
He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in Yahweh’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
15 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoas, termasuk kepahlawanannya melawan Amazia raja Yehuda dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 Yoas meninggal dan dikuburkan di pekuburan raja-raja di Samaria. Yerobeam II anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
17 Setelah Yoas raja Israel meninggal, Amazia raja Yehuda, masih hidup 15 tahun lagi.
Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
18 Di Yerusalem ada komplotan yang mau membunuh Amazia. Karena itu ia lari ke Lakhis, tetapi musuh-musuhnya mengejar dia ke sana dan membunuhnya. Jenazahnya diangkut dengan kuda ke Yerusalem, lalu dikuburkan di pekuburan raja-raja di Kota Daud. Maka rakyat Yehuda melantik Uzia, putra Amazia menjadi raja mereka. Pada waktu itu Uzia baru berumur 16 tahun. Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Amazia dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
22 Setelah kematian ayahnya, Uzia merebut kembali kota Elat dan membangunnya lagi.
He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
23 Pada tahun kelima belas pemerintahan Amazia anak Yoas atas Yehuda, Yerobeam II anak Yoas menjadi raja Israel, dan memerintah di Samaria 41 tahun lamanya.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 Ia berdosa kepada TUHAN, karena mengikuti kejahatan Raja Yerobeam I yang telah membuat orang Israel berdosa.
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.
25 Yerobeam II inilah yang merebut kembali seluruh daerah Israel, dari jalan ke Hamat di utara sampai Laut Mati di selatan. Itu sesuai dengan janji TUHAN, Allah Israel, melalui hamba-Nya, Nabi Yunus anak Amitai orang Gat-Hefer.
He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to Yahweh, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.
26 TUHAN melihat betapa sengsaranya orang Israel, dan tidak ada seorang pun yang menolong mereka.
For Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel.
27 TUHAN tidak bermaksud menghancurkan Israel untuk selama-lamanya, karena itu Ia menolong mereka melalui Raja Yerobeam II.
Yahweh didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yerobeam II, mengenai kepahlawanannya dalam pertempuran-pertempuran dan bagaimana ia merebut kembali Damsyik dan Hamat dari Yehuda untuk Israel, semuanya dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 Yerobeam II meninggal dan dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja. Zakharia putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
