2 Raja-raja 8

1 Pada suatu waktu TUHAN mendatangkan bencana kelaparan di negeri Israel yang berlangsung tujuh tahun lamanya. Sebelum itu Elisa telah memberitahukan hal itu kepada wanita dari Sunem yang anaknya telah dihidupkannya kembali. Elisa juga menyuruh dia pindah dengan keluarganya ke negeri lain.

And Elisaie spoke to the woman, whose son he [had] restored to life, saying, Arise, and go you and your house, and sojourn wherever you may sojourn: for the Lord has called for a famine upon the land; indeed it is come upon the land [for] seven years.

2 Wanita itu melakukan apa yang dikatakan Elisa, dan berangkat ke negeri Filistin untuk tinggal di situ.

And the woman arose, and did according to the word of Elisaie, both she and her house; and they sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

3 Sesudah masa tujuh tahun itu ia kembali ke Israel. Lalu ia pergi dengan anaknya kepada raja untuk memohon supaya rumah dan ladangnya dikembalikan kepadanya.

And it came to pass after the expiration of the seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines to the city; and came to cry to the king for her house and for her lands.

4 Pada waktu itu Gehazi pelayan Elisa telah diminta oleh raja untuk menceritakan tentang keajaiban-keajaiban yang telah dilakukan oleh Elisa.

And the king spoke to Giezi the servant of Elisaie the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray you, all the great things which Elisaie has done.

5 Dan tepat pada waktu wanita dari Sunem itu datang menghadap raja untuk menyampaikan permohonannya, Gehazi sedang menceritakan tentang bagaimana Elisa menghidupkan kembali seorang anak yang sudah mati. Maka kata Gehazi, "Paduka yang mulia, inilah wanita itu, dan ini anaknya yang dihidupkan kembali oleh Elisa!"

And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life the dead son, behold, the woman whose son Elisaie restored to life [came] crying to the king for her house and for her lands. And Giezi said, My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisaie restored to life.

6 Lalu raja bertanya dan wanita itu menceritakan tentang anak itu. Setelah itu raja memanggil seorang pegawainya dan memerintahkan supaya segala milik wanita itu dikembalikan kepadanya, termasuk harga seluruh hasil ladang-ladangnya selama tujuh tahun ia di luar negeri.

And the king asked the woman, and she told him: and the king appointed her a eunuch, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field from the day that she left the land until now.

7 Pada suatu waktu Elisa pergi ke Damsyik. Kebetulan Raja Benhadad sedang sakit. Ketika raja mendengar bahwa Elisa ada di Damsyik,

And Elisaie came to Damascus; and the king of Syria the son of Ader was ill, and they brought him word, saying, The man of God is come here.

8 ia berkata kepada Hazael, seorang pegawainya, "Bawalah hadiah kepada nabi itu, dan mintalah supaya ia menanyakan kepada TUHAN apakah aku ini akan sembuh atau tidak."

And the king said to Azael, Take in your hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, and enquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I recover of this my disease?

9 Hazael mengambil 40 unta dan memuatinya dengan segala macam hasil kota Damsyik, lalu pergi kepada Elisa. Ketika sampai di tempat Elisa, Hazael berkata, "Hambamu Raja Benhadad, mengutus saya untuk menanyakan apakah ia akan sembuh atau tidak."

And Azael went to meet him, and he took a present in his hand, and all the good things of Damascus, forty camels' load, and came and stood before him, and said to Elisaie, Your son the son of Ader, the king of Syria, has sent me to you to enquire, saying, Shall I recover of this my disease?

10 Elisa menjawab, "TUHAN mengatakan kepada saya bahwa ia akan mati. Tetapi katakan saja kepadanya bahwa ia akan sembuh."

And Elisaie said, Go, say, You shall certainly live; yet the Lord has showed me that you shall surely die.

11 Kemudian Elisa menatap Hazael dengan pandangan yang tajam sehingga Hazael menjadi gelisah. Tiba-tiba Elisa menangis.

And he stood before him, and fixed [his countenance] till he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.

12 "Mengapa Tuan menangis?" tanya Hazael. "Sebab aku tahu kejahatan yang akan kaulakukan terhadap orang Israel," kata Elisa. "Engkau akan membakar kota-kotanya yang berbenteng, membunuh orang-orang mudanya yang terbaik, dan mencekik anak-anak bayi serta membelah perut para wanitanya yang sedang mengandung."

And Azael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know all the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: you will utterly destroy their strong holds with fire, and you will kill their choice men with the sword, and you will dash their infants [against the ground], and their women with child you will rip up.

13 "Ah, saya ini orang yang tidak berarti," jawab Hazael, "mana mungkin saya punya kuasa sehebat itu!" "TUHAN sudah menunjukkan kepadaku bahwa engkau akan menjadi raja Siria," jawab Elisa.

And Azael said, Who is your servant? a dead dog, that he should do this thing? And Elisaie said, The Lord has shown me you ruling over Syria.

14 Ketika Hazael kembali ke istana, bertanyalah Benhadad, "Apa kata Elisa?" "Ia berkata bahwa Baginda pasti akan sembuh," jawab Hazael.

And he departed from Elisaie, and went in to his lord; and he said to him, What said Elisaie to you? and he said, He said to me, You shall surely live.

15 Tetapi keesokan harinya Hazael mengambil sehelai selimut, dan mencelupkannya ke dalam air lalu menekankannya pada muka raja sehingga ia mati lemas. Dan Hazael menjadi raja Siria menggantikan Benhadad.

And it came to pass on the next day that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and put it on his face, and he died: and Azael reigned in his stead.

16 Yehoram anak Yosafat menjadi raja Yehuda pada waktu Raja Yoram anak Ahab telah memerintah Israel lima tahun.

In the fifth year of Joram son of Achaab king of Israel, and while Josaphat was king of Juda, Joram the son of Josaphat king of Juda began to reign.

17 Pada waktu itu Yehoram berumur tiga puluh dua tahun, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem delapan tahun lamanya.

Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

18 Ia kawin dengan anak Ahab, dan seperti yang dilakukan oleh keluarga Ahab, ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN seperti raja-raja Israel.

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Achaab; for the daughter of Achaab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.

19 Tetapi TUHAN tidak mau membinasakan Yehuda karena Ia sudah berjanji kepada Daud hamba-Nya, bahwa keturunannya akan tetap menjadi raja.

But the Lord would not destroy Juda for David his servant's sake, as he said he would give a light to him and to his sons continually.

20 Dalam pemerintahan Yehoram, Edom memberontak terhadap Yehuda dan membentuk kerajaan sendiri.

In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Juda, and they made a king over themselves.

21 Karena itu, keluarlah Yehoram dengan semua kereta perangnya menuju ke Zair. Di sana ia dikepung pasukan Edom, tetapi malamnya ia dan para panglima pasukan berkereta menerobos kepungan musuh, dan prajurit-prajurit mereka melarikan diri pulang ke rumah masing-masing.

And Joram went up to Sior, and all the chariots that were with him: and it came to pass after he had arisen, that he struck Edom who compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.

22 Sejak itu Edom tidak tunduk lagi kepada Yehuda. Pada masa itu juga kota Libna pun memberontak.

Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Juda till this day. Then Lobna revolted at that time.

23 Kisah lainnya mengenai Yehoram dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.

And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

24 Ia meninggal dan dikubur di pekuburan raja-raja di Kota Daud. Ahazia anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

So Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David: and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.

25 Ahazia anak Yehoram menjadi raja Yehuda pada waktu Raja Yoram anak Ahab telah memerintah Israel dua belas tahun.

In the twelfth year of Joram son of Achaab king of Israel, Ochozias son of Joram began to reign.

26 Pada waktu itu Ahazia berumur dua puluh dua tahun, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem setahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Atalya, anak Raja Ahab dan cucu Omri raja Israel.

Twenty and two years old [was] Ochozias when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother [was] Gotholia, daughter of Ambri king of Israel.

27 Karena perkawinannya, Ahazia ada hubungan keluarga dengan keluarga Raja Ahab. Ahazia berdosa kepada TUHAN sama seperti yang dilakukan oleh keluarga Ahab.

And he walked in the way of the house of Achaab, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the house of Achaab.

28 Raja Ahazia turut berperang bersama Yoram raja Israel melawan Hazael raja Siria. Mereka bertempur di Ramot, daerah Gilead. Yoram terluka dalam pertempuran itu,

And he went with Joram the son of Achaab to war against Azael king of the Syrians in Remmoth Galaad; and the Syrians wounded Joram.

29 lalu ia kembali ke kota Yizreel untuk dirawat, dan Ahazia pergi menengok dia di sana.

And king Joram returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds with which they wounded him in Remmoth, when he fought with Azael king of Syria. And Ochozias son of Joram went down to see Joram the son of Achaab in Jezrael, because he was sick.
