< 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 three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned 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.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
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.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.
4 Tetapi kemudian Yoahas memohon belas kasihan TUHAN, dan TUHAN mendengarkan dia, sebab Ia telah melihat, bagaimana beratnya orang Israel ditindas oleh raja Aram.
And Jehoahaz sought the LORD, and the LORD listened to him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
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 savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelled in their tents, as beforetime.
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. --
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also 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.
Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.
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 that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles 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 slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
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 and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned 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.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
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?
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles 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 slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried 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 was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
15 Berkatalah Elisa kepadanya: "Ambillah busur dan anak-anak panah!" Lalu diambillah busur dan anak-anak panah.
And Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to him 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."
And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for you shall smite the Syrians in Aphek, till you have consumed 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, Smite on the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
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."
And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, You should have smitten five or six times; then had you smitten Syria till you had consumed it: whereas now you shall smite Syria but thrice.
20 Sesudah itu matilah Elisa, lalu ia dikuburkan. Adapun gerombolan Moab sering memasuki negeri itu pada pergantian tahun.
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
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 it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulcher of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 Hazael, raja Aram, menindas orang Israel sepanjang umur Yoahas.
But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel 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.
And the LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
24 Kemudian matilah Hazael, raja Aram, maka Benhadad, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.
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 out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
