1 Raja-raja 15

1 Dalam tahun kedelapan belas zaman raja Yerobeam bin Nebat menjadi rajalah Abiam atas Yehuda.

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.

2 Tiga tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Maakha, anak Abisalom.

He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

3 Abiam hidup dalam segala dosa yang telah dilakukan ayahnya sebelumnya, dan ia tidak dengan sepenuh hati berpaut kepada TUHAN, Allahnya, seperti Daud, moyangnya.

He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

4 Tetapi oleh karena Daud maka TUHAN, Allahnya, memberikan keturunan kepadanya di Yerusalem dengan mengangkat anaknya menggantikan dia dan dengan membiarkan Yerusalem berdiri,

Nevertheless for David's sake, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;

5 karena Daud telah melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN dan tidak menyimpang dari segala yang diperintahkan-Nya kepadanya seumur hidupnya, kecuali dalam perkara Uria, orang Het itu.

because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hethite.

6 Dan ada perang antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam, seumur hidupnya.

[Now there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.]

7 Selebihnya dari riwayat Abiam dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda? Dan ada perang antara Abiam dan Yerobeam.

The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? There was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 Kemudian Abiam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di kota Daud. Maka Asa, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the City of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.

9 Dalam tahun kedua puluh zaman Yerobeam, raja Israel, Asa menjadi raja atas Yehuda.

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.

10 Empat puluh satu tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama neneknya yang perempuan ialah Maakha, anak Abisalom.

He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya.

Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

12 Ia menyingkirkan pelacuran bakti dari negeri itu dan menjauhkan segala berhala yang dibuat oleh nenek moyangnya.

And he banished the male temple prostitutes out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 Bahkan ia memecat Maakha, neneknya, dari pangkat ibu suri, karena neneknya itu membuat patung Asyera yang keji. Asa merobohkan patung yang keji itu dan membakarnya di lembah Kidron.

Also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.

14 Sekalipun bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidak dijauhkan, namun Asa berpaut kepada TUHAN dengan segenap hatinya sepanjang umurnya.

But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.

15 Ia membawa persembahan-persembahan kudus ayahnya dan persembahan-persemba kudusnya sendiri ke rumah TUHAN, yakni emas dan perak serta barang-barang lain.

He brought into the house of the LORD the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

16 Dan ada perang antara Asa dan Baesa, raja Israel, sepanjang umur mereka.

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

17 Baesa, raja Israel, maju berperang melawan Yehuda, dan ia memperkuat Rama, dengan maksud mencegah lalu lintas kepada Asa, raja Yehuda.

Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

18 Tetapi Asa mengambil segala emas dan perak yang masih tinggal dalam perbendaharaan rumah TUHAN dan dalam perbendaharaan rumah raja dan menyerahkannya kepada pegawainya. Kemudian raja Asa mengutus mereka kepada Benhadad bin Tabrimon bin Hezion, raja Aram yang diam di Damsyik, dengan membawa pesan:

Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,

19 "Ada perjanjian antara aku dan engkau, antara ayahku dan ayahmu. Di sini kukirim kepadamu suatu bingkisan, yakni emas dan perak. Marilah, batalkanlah perjanjianmu dengan Baesa, raja Israel, supaya ia undur dari padaku."

"Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."

20 Lalu Benhadad mendengarkan permintaan raja Asa; ia menyuruh panglima-panglimanya menyerang kota-kota Israel dan ia mengalahkan Iyon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Maakha dan seluruh Kinerot serta seluruh tanah Naftali.

Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Kinnereth, with all the land of Naphtali.

21 Segera sesudah Baesa mendengar hal itu, ia berhenti memperkuat Rama dan ia menetap di Tirza.

It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.

22 Tetapi raja Asa mengerahkan segenap orang Yehuda, seorangpun tiada yang terkecuali; mereka harus mengangkat batu dan kayu yang dipergunakan Baesa untuk memperkuat Rama. Raja Asa mempergunakannya untuk memperkuat Geba-Benyamin dan Mizpa.

Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

23 Selebihnya dari seluruh riwayat Asa dan segala kepahlawanannya dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kota-kota yang diperkuatnya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda? Tetapi pada masa tuanya ia menderita sakit pada kedua kakinya.

Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

24 Kemudian Asa mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud, bapa leluhurnya. Maka Yosafat, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

25 Nadab, anak Yerobeam, menjadi raja atas Israel dalam tahun kedua zaman Asa, raja Yehuda. Ia memerintah atas Israel dua tahun lamanya.

Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.

26 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, serta hidup menurut tingkah laku ayahnya dan menurut dosa ayahnya, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.

27 Dan Baesa bin Ahia, dari kaum Isakhar, mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia. Baesa menewaskan dia di Gibeton yang termasuk wilayah orang Filistin, sedang Nadab dan seluruh Israel mengepung Gibeton itu.

Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

28 Baesa membunuh dia dalam tahun ketiga zaman Asa, raja Yehuda, dan menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.

29 Segera sesudah ia menjadi raja, ia membunuh seluruh keluarga Yerobeam; tidak ada yang bernafas yang ditinggalkannya hidup dari pada Yerobeam, sampai dipunahkannya semuanya, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya Ahia, orang Silo itu,

It happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam: he did not leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;

30 oleh karena dosa-dosa yang telah dilakukan Yerobeam, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula, oleh sebab sakit hati yang ditimbulkannya pada TUHAN, Allah Israel.

for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

31 Selebihnya dari riwayat Nadab dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

32 Dan ada perang antara Asa dan Baesa, raja Israel, sepanjang umur mereka.

There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

33 Dalam tahun ketiga zaman Asa, raja Yehuda, Baesa bin Ahia menjadi raja atas seluruh Israel di Tirza. Ia memerintah dua puluh empat tahun lamanya.

In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah for twenty-four years.

34 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN serta hidup menurut tingkah laku Yerobeam dan menurut dosanya yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
