< 2 Raja-raja 13 >

1 Dalam tahun kedua puluh tiga zaman Yoas bin Ahazia, raja Yehuda, Yoahas, anak Yehu, menjadi raja atas Israel di Samaria; ia memerintah tujuh belas tahun lamanya.
In the twenty-third year of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for seventeen years.
2 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, dan ia hidup menuruti dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula. Ia tidak menjauhinya.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do; he did not keep himself from them.
3 Sebab itu bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Israel, lalu diserahkan-Nyalah mereka ke dalam tangan Hazael, raja Aram, dan ke dalam tangan Benhadad, anak Hazael, selama zaman itu.
So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the power of Hazael, king of Aram, and into the power of Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, again and again.
4 Tetapi kemudian Yoahas memohon belas kasihan TUHAN, dan TUHAN mendengarkan dia, sebab Ia telah melihat, bagaimana beratnya orang Israel ditindas oleh raja Aram.
Then Jehoahaz made prayer to the Lord, and the Lord gave ear to him, for he saw how cruelly Israel was crushed by the king of Aram.
5 --TUHAN memberikan kepada orang Israel seorang penolong, sehingga mereka lepas dari tangan Aram dan dapat duduk di kemah-kemah mereka seperti yang sudah-sudah.
(And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they became free from the hands of the Aramaeans; and the children of Israel were living in their tents as in the past.
6 Hanya mereka tidak menjauh dari dosa-dosa keluarga Yerobeam, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula, melainkan mereka terus hidup dalam dosa itu. Juga patung Asyera masih berdiri di Samaria. --
But still they did not give up the sin of Jeroboam, which he made Israel do, but went on with it; and there was an image of Asherah in Samaria.)
7 Sebab tidak ada laskar ditinggalkan pada Yoahas, selain dari lima puluh orang berkuda dan sepuluh kereta dan sepuluh ribu orang berjalan kaki, sebab raja Aram telah membinasakan mereka dan meniupkan mereka seperti abu pengirikan.
For out of all his army, Jehoahaz had only fifty horsemen and ten carriages and ten thousand footmen; the king of Aram had given them up to destruction, crushing them like dust.
8 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoahas dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all he did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
9 Kemudian Yoahas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di Samaria. Maka Yoas, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And Jehoahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Joash his son became king in his place.
10 Dalam tahun ketiga puluh tujuh zaman Yoas, raja Yehuda, Yoas anak Yoahas, menjadi raja atas Israel di Samaria. Ia memerintah enam belas tahun lamanya.
In the thirty-seventh year of the rule of Joash, king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for sixteen years.
11 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN. Ia tidak menjauh dari segala dosa yang disuruh Yerobeam bin Nebat dilakukan orang Israel, tetapi terus hidup dalam dosa itu.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do, but he went on with it.
12 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoas dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bagaimana ia berperang melawan Amazia, raja Yehuda, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, and the force with which he went to war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
13 Setelah Yoas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, maka duduklah Yerobeam di atas takhta ayahnya. Dan Yoas dikuburkan di Samaria di samping raja Israel.
And Joash went to rest with his fathers and Jeroboam took his place as king; and Joash was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Ketika Elisa menderita sakit yang menyebabkan kematiannya, datanglah Yoas, raja Israel, kepadanya dan menangis oleh karena dia, katanya: "Bapaku, bapaku! Kereta Israel dan orang-orangnya yang berkuda!"
Now Elisha became ill with the disease which was the cause of his death: and Joash, king of Israel, came down to him, and weeping over him said, My father, my father, the war-carriages of Israel and its horsemen!
15 Berkatalah Elisa kepadanya: "Ambillah busur dan anak-anak panah!" Lalu diambillah busur dan anak-anak panah.
Then Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows: and he took bow and arrows.
16 Berkatalah ia kepada raja Israel: "Tariklah busurmu!" Lalu ia menarik busurnya, tetapi Elisa menaruh tangannya di atas tangan raja,
And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand on the bow: and he put his hand on it; and Elisha put his hands on the king's hands.
17 serta berkata: "Bukalah jendela yang di sebelah timur!" Dan ketika dibukanya, berkatalah Elisa: "Panahlah!" Lalu dipanahnya. Kemudian berkatalah Elisa: "Itulah anak panah kemenangan dari pada TUHAN, anak panah kemenangan terhadap Aram. Engkau akan mengalahkan Aram di Afek sampai habis lenyap."
Then he said; Let the window be open to the east: and he got it open. Then Elisha said, Let the arrow go; and he let it go. And he said, The Lord's arrow of salvation, of salvation over Aram; for you will overcome the Aramaeans in Aphek and put an end to them.
18 Sesudah itu berkatalah ia: "Ambillah anak-anak panah itu!" Lalu diambilnya. Setelah diambilnya, berkatalah Elisa kepada raja Israel: "Pukulkanlah itu ke tanah!" Lalu dipukulkannya tiga kali, kemudian ia berhenti.
And he said, Take the arrows: and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Send them down into the earth; and he did so three times and no more.
19 Tetapi gusarlah abdi Allah itu kepadanya serta berkata: "Seharusnya engkau memukul lima atau enam kali! Dengan berbuat demikian engkau akan memukul Aram sampai habis lenyap. Tetapi sekarang, hanya tiga kali saja engkau akan memukul Aram."
Then the man of God was angry with him and said, If you had done it five or six times, then you would have overcome Aram completely; but now you will only overcome them three times.
20 Sesudah itu matilah Elisa, lalu ia dikuburkan. Adapun gerombolan Moab sering memasuki negeri itu pada pergantian tahun.
And death came to Elisha and they put his body into the earth. Now in the spring of the year, armed bands of Moabites frequently came, overrunning the land.
21 Pada suatu kali orang sedang menguburkan mayat. Ketika mereka melihat gerombolan datang, dicampakkan merekalah mayat itu ke dalam kubur Elisa, lalu pergi. Dan demi mayat itu kena kepada tulang-tulang Elisa, maka hiduplah ia kembali dan bangun berdiri.
And while they were putting a dead man into the earth, they saw a band coming; and they put the man quickly into the place where Elisha's body was; and the dead man, on touching Elisha's bones, came to life again, and got up on his feet.
22 Hazael, raja Aram, menindas orang Israel sepanjang umur Yoahas.
And Israel was crushed under the power of Hazael, king of Aram, all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 Tetapi TUHAN mengasihani serta menyayangi mereka, dan Ia berpaling kepada mereka oleh karena perjanjian-Nya dengan Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub, jadi Ia tidak mau memusnahkan mereka dan belum membuang mereka pada waktu itu dari hadapan-Nya.
But the Lord was kind to them and had pity on them, caring for them, because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he would not put them to destruction or send them away from before his face till now.
24 Kemudian matilah Hazael, raja Aram, maka Benhadad, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Then Hazael, king of Aram, came to his end; and Ben-hadad his son became king in his place.
25 Yoas bin Yoahas merebut kembali dari tangan Benhadad bin Hazael kota-kota yang dalam peperangan direbut Benhadad dari tangan Yoahas, ayah Yoas. Tiga kali Yoas mengalahkan dia dan mendapat kembali kota-kota Israel.
And Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, took again from Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, the towns which he had taken from Jehoahaz his father in war. Three times Jehoash overcame him and got back the towns of Israel.
