2 Raja-raja 14
1 Dalam tahun kedua zaman Yoas bin Yoahas, raja Israel, Amazia, anak Yoas raja Yehuda menjadi raja.
In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
2 Ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua puluh sembilan tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yoadan, dari Yerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, hanya bukan seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya. Ia berbuat tepat seperti yang diperbuat Yoas, ayahnya.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
4 Namun demikian, bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidaklah dijauhkan. Bangsa itu masih mempersembahkan dan membakar korban di bukit-bukit itu.
However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
5 Segera sesudah kuasa kerajaan itu kokoh di tangannya, dibunuhnyalah pegawai-pegawainya yang telah membunuh raja, yaitu ayahnya.
As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
6 Tetapi anak-anak para pembunuh itu tidak dihukum mati olehnya, seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab Taurat Musa, di mana TUHAN telah memberi perintah: "Janganlah ayah dihukum mati karena anaknya, janganlah juga anak dihukum mati karena ayahnya, melainkan setiap orang harus dihukum mati karena dosanya sendiri."
but the children of the murderers he did not put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
7 Ia mengalahkan Edom di Lembah Asin, sepuluh ribu orang banyaknya, dan merebut Sela dalam peperangan itu, lalu dinamainyalah kota itu Yokteel; begitulah sampai hari ini.
He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.
8 Pada waktu itu Amazia menyuruh utusan kepada Yoas bin Yoahas bin Yehu, raja Israel, mengatakan: "Mari kita mengadu tenaga!"
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”
9 Tetapi Yoas, raja Israel, menyuruh orang kepada Amazia, raja Yehuda, mengatakan: "Rumput duri yang di gunung Libanon mengirim pesan kepada pohon aras yang di gunung Libanon, bunyinya: Berikanlah anakmu perempuan kepada anakku laki-laki menjadi isterinya. Tetapi binatang-binatang hutan yang ada di gunung Libanon itu berjalan lewat dari sana, lalu menginjak rumput duri itu.
Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
10 Memang engkau telah mengalahkan Edom, sebab itu engkau menjadi tinggi hati. Cukuplah bagimu mendapat kehormatan itu dan tinggallah di rumahmu. Untuk apa engkau menantang malapetaka, sehingga engkau jatuh dan Yehuda bersama-sama engkau?"
You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?”
11 Tetapi Amazia tidak mau mendengarkan, sebab itu majulah Yoas, raja Israel, lalu mengadu tenagalah mereka, ia dan Amazia, raja Yehuda, di Bet-Semes yang termasuk wilayah Yehuda.
But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Yehuda terpukul kalah oleh Israel, sehingga masing-masing lari ke kemahnya.
Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
13 Yoas, raja Israel menangkap Amazia, raja Yehuda, anak Yoas bin Ahazia, di Bet-Semes. Lalu Yoas masuk ke Yerusalem, dan membongkar tembok Yerusalem dari Pintu Gerbang Efraim sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Sudut, empat ratus hasta panjangnya.
Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
14 Sesudah itu ia mengambil segala emas dan perak dan segala perkakas yang terdapat dalam rumah TUHAN dan dalam perbendaharaan istana raja, juga orang-orang sandera, kemudian pulanglah ia ke Samaria.
He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
15 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoas, apa yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya dan bagaimana ia berperang melawan Amazia, raja Yehuda, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16 Kemudian Yoas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di Samaria di samping raja-raja Israel. Maka Yerobeam, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
17 Amazia bin Yoas, raja Yehuda, masih hidup lima belas tahun lamanya sesudah matinya Yoas bin Yoahas, raja Israel.
Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
18 Selebihnya dari riwayat Amazia, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
19 Di Yerusalem orang mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia, sebab itu larilah ia ke Lakhis. Tetapi mereka menyuruh mengejar dia ke Lakhis, lalu dibunuhlah dia di sana.
They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
20 Diangkutlah dia dengan kuda, lalu dikuburkan di Yerusalem di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud.
They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
21 Segenap bangsa Yehuda mengambil Azarya, yang masih berumur enam belas tahun dan mengangkat dia menjadi raja menggantikan ayahnya, Amazia.
All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
22 Ia memperkuat Elat dan mengembalikannya kepada Yehuda, sesudah raja mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya.
He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
23 Dalam tahun kelima belas zaman Amazia bin Yoas, raja Yehuda, Yerobeam, anak Yoas, raja Israel, menjadi raja di Samaria. Ia memerintah empat puluh satu tahun lamanya.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
24 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN. Ia tidak menjauh dari segala dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
25 Ia mengembalikan daerah Israel, dari jalan masuk ke Hamat sampai ke Laut Araba sesuai dengan firman TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang telah diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya, nabi Yunus bin Amitai dari Gat-Hefer.
He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the LORD, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.
26 Sebab TUHAN telah melihat betapa pahitnya kesengsaraan orang Israel itu: sudah habis lenyap baik yang tinggi maupun yang rendah kedudukannya, dan tidak ada penolong bagi orang Israel.
For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel.
27 Tetapi TUHAN tidak mengatakan bahwa Ia akan menghapuskan nama Israel dari kolong langit; jadi Ia menolong mereka dengan perantaraan Yerobeam bin Yoas.
The LORD did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
28 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yerobeam dan segala yang dilakukannya dan kepahlawanannya, bagaimana ia berperang, dan bagaimana ia mengembalikan Damsyik dan Hamat-Yehuda ke dalam Israel, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
29 Kemudian Yerobeam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, raja-raja Israel. Maka Zakharia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
