1 Raja-raja 22
1 Tiga tahun lamanya orang tinggal aman dengan tidak ada perang antara Aram dan Israel.
Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Pada tahun yang ketiga pergilah Yosafat, raja Yehuda, kepada raja Israel.
But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended 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, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
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 so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
5 Tetapi Yosafat berkata kepada raja Israel: "Baiklah tanyakan dahulu firman TUHAN."
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of 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."
Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
7 Tetapi Yosafat bertanya: "Tidak adakah lagi di sini seorang nabi TUHAN, supaya dengan perantaraannya kita dapat meminta petunjuk?"
Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
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: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
9 Kemudian raja Israel memanggil seorang pegawai istana, katanya: "Jemputlah Mikha bin Yimla dengan segera!"
Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here 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 each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
11 maka Zedekia bin Kenaana membuat tanduk-tanduk besi, lalu berkata: "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Dengan ini engkau akan menanduk Aram sampai engkau menghabiskan mereka."
Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
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 were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver 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."
Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
14 Tetapi Mikha menjawab: "Demi TUHAN yang hidup, sesungguhnya, apa yang akan difirmankan TUHAN kepadaku, itulah yang akan kukatakan."
But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
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."
And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver 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?"
But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except 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."
And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own 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?"
Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always 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.
Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the 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, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
21 Kemudian tampillah suatu roh, lalu berdiri di hadapan TUHAN. Ia berkata: Aku ini akan membujuknya. TUHAN bertanya kepadanya: Dengan apa?
But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
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 he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, 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."
So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken 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, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to 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, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
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 let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
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 tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return 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 will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
29 Sesudah itu majulah raja Israel dengan Yosafat, raja Yehuda, ke Ramot-Gilead.
And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended 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.
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
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 Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
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.
Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 Segera sesudah para panglima pasukan kereta itu melihat, bahwa dia bukanlah raja Israel, maka undurlah mereka dari padanya.
And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from 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."
But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously 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.
Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
36 Kira-kira pada waktu matahari terbenam terdengarlah teriakan di sepanjang barisan tentara itu: "Masing-masing ke kotanya, masing-masing ke negerinya!
And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
37 Raja sudah mati!" Maka pulanglah mereka ke Samaria, lalu mereka menguburkan raja di Samaria.
Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king 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 they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
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?
But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40 Demikianlah Ahab mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya. Maka Ahazia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
41 Yosafat, anak Asa, menjadi raja atas Yehuda dalam tahun keempat zaman Ahab, raja Israel.
Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of 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.
He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother 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.
And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
44 Dan Yosafat hidup dalam damai dengan raja Israel.
And Jehoshaphat had 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?
But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
46 Dan sisa pelacuran bakti yang masih tinggal dalam zaman Asa, ayahnya, dihapuskannya dari negeri itu.
Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
47 Tidak ada raja di Edom, karena itu yang menjadi raja ialah seorang kepala daerah.
At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
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.
Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
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 servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
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.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned 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.
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned 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.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
53 Ia beribadah kepada Baal dan sujud menyembah kepadanya dan dengan demikian ia menimbulkan sakit hati TUHAN, Allah Israel, tepat seperti yang dilakukan ayahnya.
Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
