1 Raja-raja 22
1 Tiga tahun lamanya orang tinggal aman dengan tidak ada perang antara Aram dan Israel.
Now for three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
2 Pada tahun yang ketiga pergilah Yosafat, raja Yehuda, kepada raja Israel.
And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.
3 Berkatalah raja Israel kepada pegawai-pegawainya: "Tahukah kamu, bahwa Ramot-Gilead sebenarnya milik kita? Tetapi kita tinggal diam saja dan tidak merebutnya dari tangan raja negeri Aram."
And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.
4 Lalu katanya kepada Yosafat: "Maukah engkau pergi bersama-sama aku untuk memerangi Ramot-Gilead?" Jawab Yosafat kepada raja Israel: "Kita sama-sama, aku dan engkau, rakyatku dan rakyatmu, kudaku dan kudamu."
And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
5 Tetapi Yosafat berkata kepada raja Israel: "Baiklah tanyakan dahulu firman TUHAN."
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
6 Lalu raja Israel mengumpulkan para nabi, kira-kira empat ratus orang banyaknya, kemudian bertanyalah ia kepada mereka: "Apakah aku boleh pergi berperang melawan Ramot-Gilead atau aku membatalkannya?" Jawab mereka: "Majulah! Tuhan akan menyerahkannya ke dalam tangan raja."
So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
7 Tetapi Yosafat bertanya: "Tidak adakah lagi di sini seorang nabi TUHAN, supaya dengan perantaraannya kita dapat meminta petunjuk?"
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
8 Jawab raja Israel kepada Yosafat: "Masih ada seorang lagi yang dengan perantaraannya dapat diminta petunjuk TUHAN. Tetapi aku membenci dia, sebab tidak pernah ia menubuatkan yang baik tentang aku, melainkan malapetaka. Orang itu ialah Mikha bin Yimla." Kata Yosafat: "Janganlah raja berkata demikian."
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I have no love for him, for he is a prophet of evil to me and not of good. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Kemudian raja Israel memanggil seorang pegawai istana, katanya: "Jemputlah Mikha bin Yimla dengan segera!"
Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.
10 Sementara raja Israel dan Yosafat, raja Yehuda, duduk masing-masing di atas takhtanya dengan pakaian kebesaran, di suatu tempat pengirikan di depan pintu gerbang Samaria, sedang semua nabi itu bernubuat di depan mereka,
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.
11 maka Zedekia bin Kenaana membuat tanduk-tanduk besi, lalu berkata: "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Dengan ini engkau akan menanduk Aram sampai engkau menghabiskan mereka."
And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
12 Juga semua nabi itu bernubuat demikian, katanya: "Majulah ke Ramot-Gilead, dan engkau akan beruntung; TUHAN akan menyerahkannya ke dalam tangan raja."
And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
13 Suruhan yang pergi memanggil Mikha itu, berkata kepadanya: "Ketahuilah, nabi-nabi itu sudah sepakat meramalkan yang baik bagi raja, hendaklah engkau juga berbicara seperti salah seorang dari pada mereka dan meramalkan yang baik."
Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.
14 Tetapi Mikha menjawab: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, sesungguhnya, apa yang akan difirmankan TUHAN kepadaku, itulah yang akan kukatakan."
And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
15 Setelah ia sampai kepada raja, bertanyalah raja kepadanya: "Mikha, apakah kami boleh pergi berperang melawan Ramot-Gilead atau kami membatalkannya?" Jawabnya kepadanya: "Majulah dan engkau akan beruntung, sebab TUHAN akan menyerahkannya ke dalam tangan raja."
When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
16 Tetapi raja berkata kepadanya: "Sampai berapa kali aku menyuruh engkau bersumpah, supaya engkau mengatakan kepadaku tidak lain dari kebenaran demi nama TUHAN?"
Then the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?
17 Lalu jawabnya: "Telah kulihat seluruh Israel bercerai-berai di gunung-gunung seperti domba-domba yang tidak mempunyai gembala, sebab itu TUHAN berfirman: Mereka ini tidak punya tuan; baiklah masing-masing pulang ke rumahnya dengan selamat."
Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.
18 Kemudian raja Israel berkata kepada Yosafat: "Bukankah telah kukatakan kepadamu: Tidak pernah ia menubuatkan yang baik tentang aku, melainkan hanya malapetaka?"
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good but of evil?
19 Kata Mikha: "Sebab itu dengarkanlah firman TUHAN. Aku telah melihat TUHAN sedang duduk di atas takhta-Nya dan segenap tentara sorga berdiri di dekat-Nya, di sebelah kanan-Nya dan di sebelah kiri-Nya.
And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.
20 Dan TUHAN berfirman: Siapakah yang akan membujuk Ahab untuk maju berperang, supaya ia tewas di Ramot-Gilead? Maka yang seorang berkata begini, yang lain berkata begitu.
And the Lord said, How may Ahab be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.
21 Kemudian tampillah suatu roh, lalu berdiri di hadapan TUHAN. Ia berkata: Aku ini akan membujuknya. TUHAN bertanya kepadanya: Dengan apa?
Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.
22 Jawabnya: Aku akan keluar dan menjadi roh dusta dalam mulut semua nabinya. Ia berfirman: Biarlah engkau membujuknya, dan engkau akan berhasil pula. Keluarlah dan perbuatlah demikian!
And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
23 Karena itu, sesungguhnya TUHAN telah menaruh roh dusta ke dalam mulut semua nabimu ini, sebab TUHAN telah menetapkan untuk menimpakan malapetaka kepadamu."
And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.
24 Sesudah itu tampillah Zedekia bin Kenaana, ditamparnyalah pipi Mikha serta berkata: "Mana boleh Roh TUHAN pindah dari padaku untuk berbicara kepadamu?"
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
25 Tetapi Mikha menjawab: "Sesungguhnya engkau akan melihatnya pada hari engkau lari dari satu kamar ke kamar yang lain untuk menyembunyikan diri."
And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
26 Berkatalah raja Israel: "Tangkaplah Mikha, bawa dia kembali kepada Amon, penguasa kota, dan kepada Yoas, anak raja,
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;
27 dan katakan: Beginilah titah raja: Masukkan orang ini dalam penjara dan beri dia makan roti dan minum air serba sedikit sampai aku pulang dengan selamat."
And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.
28 Tetapi jawab Mikha: "Jika benar-benar engkau pulang dengan selamat, tentulah TUHAN tidak berfirman dengan perantaraanku!" Lalu disambungnya: "Dengarlah, hai bangsa-bangsa sekalian!"
And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.
29 Sesudah itu majulah raja Israel dengan Yosafat, raja Yehuda, ke Ramot-Gilead.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 Raja Israel berkata kepada Yosafat: "Aku akan menyamar dan masuk pertempuran, tetapi engkau, pakailah pakaian kebesaranmu." Lalu menyamarlah raja Israel, kemudian masuk ke pertempuran.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress and went into the fight.
31 Adapun raja negeri Aram telah memberi perintah kepada para panglima pasukan keretanya, tiga puluh dua orang banyaknya, demikian: "Janganlah kamu berperang melawan sembarang orang, melainkan melawan raja Israel saja."
Now the king of Aram had given orders to the thirty-two captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.
32 Segera sesudah para panglima pasukan kereta itu melihat Yosafat, mereka berkata: "Itu pasti raja Israel!" Lalu majulah mereka untuk menyerang dia, tetapi Yosafat berteriak.
So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Truly, this is the king of Israel; and turning against him, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry.
33 Segera sesudah para panglima pasukan kereta itu melihat, bahwa dia bukanlah raja Israel, maka undurlah mereka dari padanya.
And when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.
34 Tetapi seseorang menarik panahnya dan menembak dengan sembarangan saja dan mengenai raja Israel di antara sambungan baju zirahnya. Kemudian ia berkata kepada pengemudi keretanya: "Putar! Bawa aku keluar dari pertempuran, sebab aku sudah luka."
And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.
35 Tetapi pertempuran itu bertambah seru pada hari itu, dan raja tetap ditopang berdiri di dalam kereta berhadapan dengan orang Aram itu, sampai ia mati pada waktu petang. Darahnya mengalir dari lukanya ke dalam palung kereta.
But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.
36 Kira-kira pada waktu matahari terbenam terdengarlah teriakan di sepanjang barisan tentara itu: "Masing-masing ke kotanya, masing-masing ke negerinya!
And about sundown a cry went up from all parts of the army, saying, Let every man go back to his town and his country, for the king is dead.
37 Raja sudah mati!" Maka pulanglah mereka ke Samaria, lalu mereka menguburkan raja di Samaria.
And they came to Samaria, and put the king's body to rest in Samaria.
38 Ketika kereta itu dicuci di tepi telaga Samaria, maka darah raja dijilat anjing, sedang perempuan-perempuan sundal mandi di tempat itu, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang telah diucapkan-Nya.
And the war-carriage was washed by the pool of Samaria, which was the bathing-place of the loose women, and the dogs were drinking his blood there, as the Lord had said.
39 Selebihnya dari riwayat Ahab dan segala yang dilakukannya serta istana gading dan segala kota yang didirikannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
40 Demikianlah Ahab mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya. Maka Ahazia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
41 Yosafat, anak Asa, menjadi raja atas Yehuda dalam tahun keempat zaman Ahab, raja Israel.
And Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab's rule over Israel.
42 Yosafat berumur tiga puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua puluh lima tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Azuba, anak Silhi.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Ia hidup mengikuti jejak Asa, ayahnya; ia tidak menyimpang dari padanya dan melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN. Hanya bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidak dijauhkan. Orang masih mempersembahkan dan membakar korban di bukit-bukit itu.
He did as Asa his father had done, not turning away from it, but doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord; but the high places were not taken away: the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
44 Dan Yosafat hidup dalam damai dengan raja Israel.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yosafat dan kepahlawanan yang dilakukannya dan bagaimana ia berperang, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his great power, and how he went to war, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
46 Dan sisa pelacuran bakti yang masih tinggal dalam zaman Asa, ayahnya, dihapuskannya dari negeri itu.
He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.
47 Tidak ada raja di Edom, karena itu yang menjadi raja ialah seorang kepala daerah.
At that time there was no king in Edom;
48 Yosafat membuat kapal-kapal Tarsis untuk pergi ke Ofir mengambil emas, tetapi kapal-kapal itu tidak jadi pergi ke sana, sebab kapal-kapal itu pecah di Ezion-Geber.
And the representative of King Jehoshaphat made a Tarshish-ship to go to Ophir for gold, but it did not go, because it was broken at Ezion-geber.
49 Pada waktu itu Ahazia, anak Ahab, berkata kepada Yosafat: "Baiklah anak buahku pergi bersama-sama anak buahmu dengan kapal-kapal itu." Tetapi Yosafat tidak mau.
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.
50 Kemudian Yosafat mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud, bapa leluhurnya. Maka Yoram, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.
51 Ahazia, anak Ahab, menjadi raja atas Israel di Samaria dalam tahun ketujuh belas zaman Yosafat, raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah atas Israel dua tahun lamanya.
Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and he was king over Israel for two years.
52 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN dan hidup menurut kelakuan ayahnya dan ibunya dan Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang telah mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, going in the ways of his father and his mother, and in the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil.
53 Ia beribadah kepada Baal dan sujud menyembah kepadanya dan dengan demikian ia menimbulkan sakit hati TUHAN, Allah Israel, tepat seperti yang dilakukan ayahnya.
He was a servant and worshipper of Baal, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath, as his father had done.
