2 Raja-raja 15

1 Dalam tahun kedua puluh tujuh zaman Yerobeam, raja Israel, Azarya, anak Amazia raja Yehuda menjadi raja.

After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.

2 Ia berumur enam belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yekholya, dari Yerusalem.

He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.

3 Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, tepat seperti yang dilakukan Amazia, ayahnya.

He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.

4 Namun demikian, bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidaklah dijauhkan. Bangsa itu masih mempersembahkan dan membakar korban di bukit-bukit itu.

But, the places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].

5 Maka TUHAN menimpakan tulah kepada raja, sehingga ia sakit kusta sampai hari kematiannya, dan tinggal dalam sebuah rumah pengasingan. Dan Yotam, anak raja, mengepalai istana dan menjalankan pemerintahan atas rakyat negeri itu.

Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.

6 Selebihnya dari riwayat Azarya, dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?

[If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

7 Kemudian Azarya mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud. Maka Yotam, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.

8 Dalam tahun ketiga puluh delapan zaman Azarya, raja Yehuda, Zakharia, anak Yerobeam, menjadi raja atas Israel di Samaria. Ia memerintah enam bulan lamanya.

After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.

9 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN seperti yang telah dilakukan oleh nenek moyangnya. Ia tidak menjauh dari dosa-dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.

10 Salum bin Yabesh mengikat persepakatan melawan dia, membunuh dia di Yibleam, kemudian menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.

11 Selebihnya dari riwayat Zakharia, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel.

Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

12 Bukankah begini firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya kepada Yehu: "Anak-anakmu sampai kepada keturunan yang keempat akan duduk di atas takhta Israel!" Dan terjadilah demikian.

When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”

13 Salum bin Yabesh menjadi raja dalam tahun yang ketiga puluh sembilan zaman Uzia, raja Yehuda. Ia memerintah sebulan lamanya di Samaria.

Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.

14 Sesudah itu majulah Menahem bin Gadi dari Tirza, lalu sampai ke Samaria. Ia membunuh Salum bin Yabesh di Samaria, kemudian menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.

15 Selebihnya dari riwayat Salum dan persepakatan yang diadakannya, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel.

Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

16 Pada waktu itu, dengan mulai dari Tirza, Menahem memusnahkan Tifsah dan semua orang yang ada di dalamnya serta daerahnya, sebab orang tidak membuka pintu kota baginya. Maka dimusnahkannyalah kota itu dan dibelahnya semua perempuannya yang mengandung.

While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.

17 Dalam tahun ketiga puluh sembilan zaman Azarya, raja Yehuda, Menahem bin Gadi menjadi raja atas Israel. Ia memerintah sepuluh tahun lamanya di Samaria.

When King Azariah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for ten years.

18 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN. Sepanjang umurnya ia tidak menjauh dari dosa-dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.

19 Pul, raja Asyur, datang menyerang negeri itu, lalu Menahem memberi seribu talenta perak kepada Pul, supaya dibantunya dia mengokohkan kerajaan itu di tangannya.

Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.

20 Menahem mengeluarkan uang ini atas beban Israel dan atas beban semua orang yang kaya raya untuk diberikan kepada raja Asyur: lima puluh syikal perak dari setiap orang. Lalu pulanglah raja Asyur dan ia tidak tinggal di sana, di negeri itu.

Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.

21 Selebihnya dari riwayat Menahem dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel?

[If you want to know more about] everything that Menahem did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

22 Kemudian Menahem mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya. Maka Pekahya, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Menahem died [EUP] and was buried, and his son Pekahiah became the king of Israel.

23 Dalam tahun kelima puluh zaman Azarya, raja Yehuda, Pekahya, anak Menahem, menjadi raja atas Israel di Samaria. Ia memerintah dua tahun lamanya.

When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 50 years, Menahem’s son Pekahiah became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for [only] two years.

24 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN. Ia tidak menjauh dari dosa-dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin.

25 Lalu perwiranya, yakni Pekah bin Remalya, mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia dan membunuh dia di Samaria di puri istana raja; beserta dia ada Argob dan Arye serta lima puluh orang dari bani Gilead; dibunuhnyalah Pekahya, kemudian menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.

26 Selebihnya dari riwayat Pekahya dan segala yang dilakukannya, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel.

Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

27 Dalam tahun kelima puluh dua zaman Azarya, raja Yehuda, Pekah bin Remalya menjadi raja atas orang Israel di Samaria. Ia memerintah dua puluh tahun lamanya.

When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 52 years, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for 20 years.

28 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN. Ia tidak menjauh dari dosa-dosa Yerobeam bin Nebat, yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa pula.

He also did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin.

29 Dalam zaman Pekah, raja Israel, datanglah Tiglat-Pileser, raja Asyur; direbutnyalah Iyon, Abel-Bet-Maakha, Yanoah, Kedesh dan Hazor, Gilead dan Galilea, seluruh tanah Naftali, lalu diangkutnyalah penduduknya ke Asyur ke dalam pembuangan.

While Pekah was the king, Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, came [with his army] and captured [the cities of] Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali. His army forced the Israeli people to leave their country and go to live in Assyria.

30 Hosea bin Ela mengadakan persepakatan melawan Pekah bin Remalya; dibunuhnyalah dia, kemudian dia menjadi raja menggantikannya dalam tahun kedua puluh zaman Yotam bin Uzia.

Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.

31 Selebihnya dari riwayat Pekah dan segala yang dilakukannya, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Israel.

Everything else that Pekah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

32 Dalam tahun kedua zaman Pekah bin Remalya, raja Israel, Yotam, anak Uzia raja Yehuda menjadi raja.

When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Uzziah’s son Jotham began to rule Judah.

33 Ia berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yerusa, anak Zadok.

He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

34 Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, tepat seperti yang dilakukan Uzia, ayahnya.

He did many things that pleased Yahweh, like his father Uzziah had done.

35 Namun demikian, bukit-bukit pengorbanan tidaklah dijauhkan. Bangsa itu masih mempersembahkan dan membakar korban di bukit-bukit itu. Ia mendirikan Pintu Gerbang Tinggi di rumah TUHAN.

But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.

36 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yotam, apa yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?

[If you want to know more about] everything else that Jotham did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.

37 Mulai zaman itu TUHAN menyuruh Rezin, raja Aram, dan Pekah bin Remalya, menyerang Yehuda.

It was during the time that Jotham was the king that Yahweh sent King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel [with their armies] to attack Judah.

38 Kemudian Yotam mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud, bapa leluhurnya. Maka Ahas, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Jotham died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Ahaz became the king of Judah.
