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.
A man of God came out of Judah by the word of Yahweh to Bethel. Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn 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."
He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh: “Altar, altar! This is what Yahweh says, 'See, a son named Josiah will be born to the family of David, and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who now burn incense on you. On you they will burn human bones.'”
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."
Then the man of God gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign that Yahweh has spoken: 'Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes on it will be poured out.'”
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.
When the king heard what the man of God said, that he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, Jeroboam reached out with his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him.” Then the hand with which he had reached out against the man dried up, so that he could not draw 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.
(The altar was also split apart and the ashes poured out from the altar, as described by the sign that the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.)
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.
King Jeroboam answered and said to the man of God, “Plead for the favor of Yahweh your God and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me again.” So the man of God prayed to Yahweh, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and it became as it was before.
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."
The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
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.
The man of God said to the king, “Even if you give me half your possessions, I will not go with you, nor will I eat food or 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."
because Yahweh commanded me by his word, 'You will eat no bread nor drink water, nor return by the way that you came.'”
10 Lalu pergilah ia melalui jalan lain dan tidak kembali melalui jalan yang telah diambilnya untuk datang ke Betel.
So the man of God left another way and did not return to his home by the way that he had come to Bethel.
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.
Now there was an old prophet living in Bethel, and one of his sons came and told him all the things that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. His sons also told him the words that the man of God had spoken to the king.
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.
Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen the way the man of God from Judah had gone.
13 Ia berkata kepada anak-anaknya: "Pelanai keledai bagiku!" Mereka memelanai keledai baginya, lalu ia menunggangnya
So he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey and he rode off 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."
The old prophet went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree; and he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He answered, “I am.”
15 Katanya kepadanya: "Marilah bersama-sama aku ke rumah untuk makan roti."
Then the old prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat food.”
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,
The man of God answered, “I may not return with you nor go in with you, neither will I eat food nor 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."
because it was commanded to me by the word of Yahweh, 'You will eat no food nor drink water there, nor return by the way that 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.
So the old prophet said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat food and drink water.'” But he was lying to the man of God.
19 Kemudian orang itu kembali bersama-sama dia, lalu makan roti dan minum air di rumahnya.
So the man of God went back with the old prophet and ate food in his house and drank water.
20 Sedang mereka duduk menghadapi meja, datanglah firman TUHAN kepada nabi yang telah membawa dia pulang.
As they sat at the table, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who had 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 cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Yahweh says, 'Because you have been disobedient to the word of Yahweh and have not kept the command that Yahweh your God gave 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."
but came back and have eaten food and drunk water in the place about which Yahweh told you to eat no food and drink no water, your body will not be buried in the tomb of your fathers.'”
23 Setelah orang itu makan roti dan minum air, dipelanailah keledai baginya.
After he had eaten food and after he had drunk, the prophet saddled the donkey of the man of God, the man who had come back with him.
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.
When the man of God was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left on the road. Then the donkey stood by it, and the lion also stood by the body.
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.
When men passed by and saw the body left on the road, and the lion standing by the body, they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
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."
When the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the word of Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh gave him to the lion, which tore him to pieces and killed him, just as the word of Yahweh warned him.”
27 Lalu berbicaralah ia kepada anak-anaknya: "Pelanailah keledai bagiku." Dan mereka memelanainya.
So the old prophet spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle my donkey,” and they saddled 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.
He went and found the body left in the road, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor attacked 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.
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to his own city to mourn and to bury him.
30 Mayat orang itu dikuburkannya di dalam kuburnya sendiri, maka diratapilah dia: "Wahai, saudaraku!"
He laid the body in his own grave, and they mourned over him, saying, “Woe, 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.
Then after he had buried him, the old prophet spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside 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 message he declared by the word of Yahweh, against the altar in Bethel and against all the houses on the high places in the cities of Samaria, will certainly happen.”
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 Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but continued to appoint common priests for the high places from among all sorts of people. Any who would serve he consecrated as a priest.
34 Dan tindakan itu menjadi dosa bagi keluarga Yerobeam, sehingga mereka dilenyapkan dan dipunahkan dari muka bumi.
This matter became sin to the family of Jeroboam and caused his family to be destroyed and to be exterminated from the face of the earth.
