1 Raja-raja 16

1 Kemudian datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yehu bin Hanani melawan Baesa, bunyinya:

During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:

2 "Oleh karena engkau telah Kutinggikan dari debu dan Kuangkat menjadi raja atas umat-Ku Israel, tetapi engkau telah hidup seperti Yerobeam dan telah menyuruh umat-Ku Israel berdosa, sehingga mereka menimbulkan sakit hati-Ku dengan dosa mereka,

“You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.

3 maka sesungguhnya Aku akan menyapu bersih Baesa dan keluarganya, kemudian Aku akan membuat keluargamu seperti keluarga Yerobeam bin Nebat.

So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.

4 Siapa yang mati dari pada Baesa di kota, akan dimakan anjing dan yang mati dari padanya di padang akan dimakan burung yang di udara."

[The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”

5 Selebihnya dari riwayat Baesa dan apa yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?

The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

6 Kemudian Baesa mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di Tirza. Maka Ela, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.

7 Juga dengan perantaraan nabi Yehu bin Hanani firman TUHAN telah datang melawan Baesa dan melawan keluarganya, baik karena segala yang jahat yang telah dilakukannya di mata TUHAN, sehingga ia menimbulkan sakit hati TUHAN dengan perbuatan tangannya, dan dengan demikian menjadi sama seperti keluarga Yerobeam, maupun oleh karena ia telah membunuh Yerobeam.

Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.

8 Dalam tahun kedua puluh enam zaman Asa, raja Yehuda, Ela, anak Baesa, menjadi raja atas Israel di Tirza. Ia memerintah dua tahun lamanya.

After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.

9 Zimri, pegawainya yang menjadi panglima atas setengah dari pasukan kereta, mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia. Ketika ia minum-minum sampai mabuk di Tirza, di rumah Arza yang menjadi kepala istana di Tirza,

[A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.

10 datanglah Zimri, lalu membunuh dia dalam tahun kedua puluh tujuh zaman Asa, raja Yehuda, dan ia menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.

11 Pada waktu ia menjadi raja itu, segera sesudah ia duduk di atas takhtanya, ia membunuh seluruh keluarga Baesa. Tidak ada seorang laki-lakipun dari padanya yang ditinggalkannya hidup, juga kaumnya, dan teman-temannya.

As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.

12 Demikianlah Zimri memunahkan seluruh keluarga Baesa, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya kepada Baesa dengan perantaraan nabi Yehu,

That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.

13 oleh karena segala dosa yang telah dilakukan Baesa dan Ela, anaknya, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula, sehingga mereka menimbulkan sakit hati TUHAN, Allah Israel, dengan dewa-dewa kesia-siaan mereka.

Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.

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

Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

15 Dalam tahun kedua puluh tujuh zaman Asa, raja Yehuda, Zimri menjadi raja. Ia memerintah tujuh hari lamanya di Tirza, sedang rakyat berkemah mengepung Gibeton yang termasuk wilayah orang Filistin.

So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.

16 Setelah rakyat yang berkemah itu mendengar orang mengatakan: "Zimri telah mengadakan persepakatan, dan iapun telah membunuh raja," maka pada hari itu juga, di tempat perkemahan, seluruh Israel menobatkan Omri, panglima tentara, menjadi raja atas Israel.

The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.

17 Kemudian Omri dengan seluruh Israel maju dari Gibeton, dan mereka mengepung Tirza.

The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.

18 Segera sesudah Zimri melihat, bahwa kota itu telah direbut, masuklah ia ke dalam puri istana raja, lalu membakar istana raja itu sedang ia sendiri ada di dalamnya, dan ia mati,

When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].

19 oleh karena dosa-dosa yang telah dilakukannya dengan melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN serta hidup menurut tingkah laku Yerobeam dan menurut dosa Yerobeam yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.

20 Selebihnya dari riwayat Zimri dan persepakatan yang diadakannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?

All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

21 Pada waktu itu bangsa Israel terbagi dua. Sebagian dari bangsa itu mengikuti Tibni bin Ginat, dan bermaksud mengangkat dia menjadi raja, dan sebagian lagi mengikuti Omri.

After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].

22 Tetapi rakyat yang mengikuti Omri lebih kuat dari pada rakyat yang mengikuti Tibni bin Ginat. Sesudah Tibni mati, maka Omri menjadi raja.

Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.

23 Dalam tahun ketiga puluh satu zaman Asa, raja Yehuda, Omri menjadi raja atas Israel dan ia memerintah dua belas tahun lamanya. Di Tirza ia memerintah enam tahun lamanya.

Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.

24 Kemudian ia membeli gunung Samaria dari pada Semer dengan dua talenta perak. Ia mendirikan suatu kota di gunung itu dan menamainya Samaria, menurut nama Semer, pemilik gunung itu.

Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.

25 Omri melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN dan ia melakukan kejahatan lebih dari pada segala orang yang mendahuluinya.

But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.

26 Ia hidup menurut segala tingkah laku Yerobeam bin Nebat dan menurut dosa Yerobeam yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula, sehingga mereka menimbulkan sakit hati TUHAN, Allah Israel, dengan dewa-dewa kesia-siaan mereka.

[When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.

27 Selebihnya dari riwayat Omri, apa yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?

Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

28 Kemudian Omri mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di Samaria. Maka Ahab, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.

29 Ahab, anak Omri, menjadi raja atas Israel dalam tahun ketiga puluh delapan zaman Asa, raja Yehuda. Dan Ahab bin Omri memerintah dua puluh dua tahun lamanya atas Israel di Samaria.

Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.

30 Ahab bin Omri melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN lebih dari pada semua orang yang mendahuluinya.

Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.

31 Seakan-akan belum cukup ia hidup dalam dosa-dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, maka ia mengambil pula Izebel, anak Etbaal, raja orang Sidon, menjadi isterinya, sehingga ia pergi beribadah kepada Baal dan sujud menyembah kepadanya.

He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].

32 Kemudian ia membuat mezbah untuk Baal itu di kuil Baal yang didirikannya di Samaria.

He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.

33 Sesudah itu Ahab membuat patung Asyera, dan Ahab melanjutkan bertindak demikian, sehingga ia menimbulkan sakit hati TUHAN, Allah Israel, lebih dari semua raja-raja Israel yang mendahuluinya.

He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.

34 Pada zamannya itu Hiel, orang Betel, membangun kembali Yerikho. Dengan membayarkan nyawa Abiram, anaknya yang sulung, ia meletakkan dasar kota itu, dan dengan membayarkan nyawa Segub, anaknya yang bungsu, ia memasang pintu gerbangnya, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan Yosua bin Nun.

During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
