1 Raja-raja 13
1 Sedang Yerobeam berdiri di atas mezbah itu sambil membakar korban, maka atas perintah TUHAN datanglah seorang abdi Allah dari Yehuda ke Betel.
And behold, a man of God has come from Judah, by the word of YHWH, to Beth-El, and Jeroboam is standing by the altar—to make incense;
2 Lalu atas perintah TUHAN berserulah orang itu terhadap mezbah itu, katanya: "Hai mezbah, hai mezbah! Beginilah firman TUHAN: Bahwasanya seorang anak akan lahir pada keluarga Daud, Yosia namanya; ia akan menyembelih di atasmu imam-imam bukit pengorbanan yang membakar korban di atasmu, juga tulang-tulang manusia akan dibakar di atasmu."
and he calls against the altar, by the word of YHWH, and says, “Altar! Altar! Thus said YHWH: Behold, a son is born to the house of David—Josiah [is] his name—and he has sacrificed on you the priests of the high places who are making incense on you, and bones of man are burned on you.”
3 Pada waktu itu juga ia memberitahukan suatu tanda ajaib, katanya: "Inilah tanda ajaib, bahwa TUHAN telah berfirman: Bahwasanya mezbah itu akan pecah, sehingga tercurah abu yang di atasnya."
And he has given a sign on that day, saying, “This [is] the sign that YHWH has spoken, Behold, the altar is torn, and the ashes that [are] on it [are] poured forth.”
4 Demi raja Yerobeam mendengar perkataan abdi Allah yang diserukannya terhadap mezbah di Betel itu, ia mengulurkan tangannya dari atas mezbah dan berkata: "Tangkaplah dia!" Tetapi tangan yang diulurkannya terhadap orang itu menjadi kejang, sehingga tidak dapat ditariknya kembali.
And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the word of the man of God that he calls against the altar in Beth-El, that Jeroboam puts forth his hand from off the altar, saying, “Catch him”; and his hand that he has put forth against him is dried up, and he is not able to bring it back to himself,
5 Mezbah itupun pecahlah, sehingga abu yang di atasnya tercurah, sesuai dengan tanda ajaib yang diberitahukan abdi Allah itu atas perintah TUHAN.
and the altar is torn, and the ashes [are] poured forth from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of YHWH.
6 Lalu berbicaralah raja dan berkata kepada abdi Allah itu: "Mohonkanlah belas kasihan TUHAN, Allahmu, dan berdoalah untukku, supaya tanganku dapat kembali." Dan abdi Allah itu memohonkan belas kasihan TUHAN, maka tangan raja itu dapat kembali dan menjadi seperti semula.
And the king answers and says to the man of God, “Please appease the face of your God YHWH, and pray for me, and my hand comes back to me”; and the man of God appeases the face of YHWH, and the hand of the king comes back to him, and it is as at the beginning.
7 Kemudian berbicaralah raja kepada abdi Allah itu: "Marilah bersama-sama dengan aku ke rumah, segarkan badanmu, sesudah itu aku hendak memberikan suatu hadiah kepadamu."
And the king speaks to the man of God, “Come in with me to the house, and refresh yourself, and I give a gift to you.”
8 Tetapi abdi Allah itu berkata kepada raja: "Sekalipun setengah dari istanamu kauberikan kepadaku, aku tidak mau singgah kepadamu; juga aku tidak mau makan roti atau minum air di tempat ini.
And the man of God says to the king, “If you give to me the half of your house, I do not go in with you, nor do I eat bread, nor do I drink water, in this place;
9 Sebab beginilah diperintahkan kepadaku atas firman TUHAN: Jangan makan roti atau minum air dan jangan kembali melalui jalan yang telah kautempuh itu."
for so He commanded me by the word of YHWH, saying, You do not eat bread nor drink water, nor return in the way that you have come.”
10 Lalu pergilah ia melalui jalan lain dan tidak kembali melalui jalan yang telah diambilnya untuk datang ke Betel.
And he goes on in another way, and has not turned back in the way in which he came in to Beth-El.
11 Di Betel diam seorang nabi tua. Anak-anaknya datang menceritakan kepadanya segala perbuatan yang dilakukan abdi Allah pada hari itu di Betel. Mereka menceriterakan juga kepada ayah mereka perkataan yang dikatakannya kepada raja.
And a certain aged prophet is dwelling in Beth-El, and his son comes and recounts to him every deed that the man of God has done today in Beth-El, the words that he has spoken to the king—indeed, they recount them to their father.
12 Kemudian ayah mereka bertanya: "Dari jalan manakah ia pergi?" Lalu anak-anaknya menunjukkan kepadanya jalan yang diambil abdi Allah yang datang dari Yehuda itu.
And their father says to them, “Where [is] this—the way he has gone?” And his sons see the way that the man of God who came from Judah has gone.
13 Ia berkata kepada anak-anaknya: "Pelanai keledai bagiku!" Mereka memelanai keledai baginya, lalu ia menunggangnya
And he says to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddle the donkey for him, and he rides on it,
14 dan pergi mengikuti abdi Allah itu dan mendapatinya duduk di bawah sebuah pohon besar. Ia bertanya kepadanya: "Engkaukah abdi Allah yang telah datang dari Yehuda?" Jawabnya: "Ya, akulah itu."
and goes after the man of God, and finds him sitting under the oak, and says to him, “Are you the man of God who has come from Judah?” And he says, “I [am].”
15 Katanya kepadanya: "Marilah bersama-sama aku ke rumah untuk makan roti."
And he says to him, “Come with me to the house and eat bread.”
16 Tetapi jawabnya: "Aku tidak dapat kembali bersama-sama engkau dan singgah kepadamu; aku tidak dapat makan roti atau minum air bersama-sama engkau di tempat ini,
And he says, “I am not able to return with you, and to go in with you, nor do I eat bread or drink water with you in this place,
17 sebab telah diperintahkan kepadaku atas firman TUHAN: Jangan makan roti atau minum air di sana. Jangan berjalan pulang melalui jalan yang telah kauambil itu."
for [there is] a word to me by the word of YHWH, You do not eat bread nor drink water there [and] you do not return to go in the way in which you came.”
18 Lalu jawabnya kepadanya: "Akupun seorang nabi juga seperti engkau, dan atas perintah TUHAN seorang malaikat telah berkata kepadaku: Bawa dia pulang bersama-sama engkau ke rumahmu, supaya ia makan roti dan minum air." Tetapi ia berbohong kepadanya.
And he says to him, “I [am] also a prophet like you, and a messenger spoke to me by the word of YHWH, saying, Bring him back with you to your house, and he eats bread and drinks water.” He has lied to him.
19 Kemudian orang itu kembali bersama-sama dia, lalu makan roti dan minum air di rumahnya.
And he turns back with him, and eats bread in his house, and drinks water.
20 Sedang mereka duduk menghadapi meja, datanglah firman TUHAN kepada nabi yang telah membawa dia pulang.
And it comes to pass—they are sitting at the table—and [there] is a word of YHWH to the prophet who brought him back,
21 Ia berseru kepada abdi Allah yang telah datang dari Yehuda: "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Karena engkau telah memberontak terhadap titah TUHAN dan tidak berpegang pada segala perintah yang diperintahkan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allahmu,
and he calls to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus said YHWH: Because that you have provoked the mouth of YHWH, and have not kept the command that your God YHWH charged you,
22 tetapi kembali dan makan roti dan minum air di tempat ini walaupun Ia telah berfirman kepadamu: Jangan makan roti atau minum air, --maka mayatmu tidak akan masuk ke dalam kubur nenek moyangmu."
and turn back and eat bread and drink water in the place of which He said to you, You do not eat bread nor drink water—your carcass does not come into the burying-place of your fathers.”
23 Setelah orang itu makan roti dan minum air, dipelanailah keledai baginya.
And it comes to pass, after his eating bread, and after his drinking, that he saddles the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back,
24 Orang itu pergi, tetapi di tengah jalan ia diserang seekor singa dan mati diterkam. Mayatnya tercampak di jalan dan keledai itu berdiri di sampingnya; singa itupun berdiri di samping mayat itu.
and he goes, and a lion finds him in the way, and puts him to death, and his carcass is cast in the way, and the donkey is standing near it, and the lion is standing near the carcass.
25 Orang-orang yang lewat melihat mayat itu tercampak di jalan dan singa berdiri di sampingnya. Dan mereka menceriterakannya di kota tempat kediaman nabi tua itu.
And behold, men are passing by, and see the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing near the carcass, and they come and speak [of it] in the city in which the old prophet is dwelling.
26 Ketika hal itu kedengaran kepada nabi yang telah membujuk dia berbalik kembali, ia berkata: "Dialah abdi Allah yang telah memberontak terhadap titah TUHAN. TUHAN menyerahkan dia kepada singa, yang mencabik dan membunuhnya sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya kepadanya."
And the prophet who brought him back out of the way hears and says, “It [is] the man of God who provoked the mouth of YHWH, and YHWH gives him to the lion, and it destroys him, and puts him to death, according to the word of YHWH that he spoke to him.”
27 Lalu berbicaralah ia kepada anak-anaknya: "Pelanailah keledai bagiku." Dan mereka memelanainya.
And he speaks to his sons saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddle [it].
28 Kemudian ia pergi dan menemukan mayat orang itu tercampak di jalan, sedang keledai dan singa berdiri di sampingnya. Singa itu tidak memakan mayat itu dan tidak mencabik keledai itu.
And he goes and finds his carcass cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion are standing near the carcass—the lion has not eaten the carcass nor destroyed the donkey.
29 Nabi tua itu mengangkat mayat abdi Allah itu, menaruhnya ke atas keledai dan membawanya kembali ke kotanya sendiri untuk diratapi dan dikuburkan.
And the prophet takes up the carcass of the man of God, and places it on the donkey, and brings it back, and the old prophet comes to the city to mourn and to bury him,
30 Mayat orang itu dikuburkannya di dalam kuburnya sendiri, maka diratapilah dia: "Wahai, saudaraku!"
and he places his carcass in his own grave, and they mourn for him, “Oh, my brother!”
31 Setelah ia menguburkannya, ia berkata kepada anak-anaknya: "Kalau aku mati, kuburkanlah aku dalam kubur ini bersama dengan abdi Allah itu, dan taruhlah tulang-tulangku di sisi tulang-tulangnya.
And it comes to pass, after his burying him, that he speaks to his sons, saying, “At my death—you have buried me in the burying-place in which the man of God is buried; place my bones near his bones;
32 Sebab perkataan yang atas perintah TUHAN telah diserukannya terhadap mezbah yang di Betel itu dan terhadap segala kuil di bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang di kota-kota Samaria akan betul-betul terjadi."
for the word certainly comes to pass that he called by the word of YHWH concerning the altar which [is in] Beth-El, and concerning all the houses of the high places that [are] in cities of Samaria.”
33 Sesudah peristiwa inipun Yerobeam tidak berbalik dari kelakuannya yang jahat itu, tetapi mengangkat pula imam-imam dari kalangan rakyat untuk bukit-bukit pengorbanan. Siapa yang mau saja, ditahbiskannya menjadi imam untuk bukit-bukit pengorbanan.
After this thing Jeroboam has not turned from his evil way, and turns back, and makes priests of high places from the extremities of the people; he who is desirous—he consecrates his hand, and he is of the priests of the high places.
34 Dan tindakan itu menjadi dosa bagi keluarga Yerobeam, sehingga mereka dilenyapkan dan dipunahkan dari muka bumi.
And in this thing is the sin of the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the ground.
