2 Raja-raja 23
1 Sesudah itu raja menyuruh orang mengumpulkan semua tua-tua Yehuda dan Yerusalem.
The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 Kemudian pergilah raja ke rumah TUHAN dan bersama-sama dia semua orang Yehuda dan semua penduduk Yerusalem, para imam, para nabi dan seluruh orang awam, dari yang kecil sampai yang besar. Dengan didengar mereka ia membacakan segala perkataan dari kitab perjanjian yang ditemukan di rumah TUHAN itu.
The king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
3 Sesudah itu berdirilah raja dekat tiang dan diadakannyalah perjanjian di hadapan TUHAN untuk hidup dengan mengikuti TUHAN, dan tetap menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya, peraturan-peraturan-Nya dan ketetapan-ketetapan-Nya dengan segenap hati dan dengan segenap jiwa dan untuk menepati perkataan perjanjian yang tertulis dalam kitab itu. Dan seluruh rakyat turut mendukung perjanjian itu.
The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this scroll; and all the people stood to the covenant.
4 Raja memberi perintah kepada imam besar Hilkia dan kepada para imam tingkat dua dan kepada para penjaga pintu untuk mengeluarkan dari bait TUHAN segala perkakas yang telah dibuat untuk Baal dan Asyera dan untuk segala tentara langit, lalu dibakarnyalah semuanya itu di luar kota Yerusalem di padang-padang Kidron, dan diangkutnyalah abunya ke Betel.
The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the LORD's temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
5 Ia memberhentikan para imam dewa asing yang telah diangkat oleh raja-raja Yehuda untuk membakar korban di bukit pengorbanan di kota-kota Yehuda dan di sekitar Yerusalem, juga orang-orang yang membakar korban untuk Baal, untuk dewa matahari, untuk dewa bulan, untuk rasi-rasi bintang dan untuk segenap tentara langit.
He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
6 Dibawanyalah tiang-tiang berhala dari rumah TUHAN ke luar kota Yerusalem, ke sungai Kidron, lalu dibakarnya di situ dan ditumbuknya halus-halus menjadi abu, kemudian dicampakkannyalah abunya ke atas kuburan rakyat jelata.
He brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, outside of Jerusalem, to the Kidron Valley, and burned it in the Kidron Valley, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
7 Ia merobohkan petak-petak pelacuran bakti yang ada di rumah TUHAN, tempat orang-orang perempuan bertenun sarung untuk Asyera.
He broke down the living quarters of the temple prostitutes, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.
8 Disuruhnyalah datang semua imam dari kota-kota Yehuda, lalu ia menajiskan bukit-bukit pengorbanan, tempat para imam itu membakar korban, dari Geba sampai Bersyeba; dirobohkannya pula bukit-bukit pengorbanan di pintu-pintu gerbang yang ada dekat lobang pintu gerbang Yosua, penguasa kota itu, yang ada pada sebelah kiri kalau orang memasuki pintu gerbang kota itu.
He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
9 Tetapi para imam bukit-bukit pengorbanan itu tidak boleh naik ke mezbah TUHAN di Yerusalem, hanya mereka boleh memakan roti yang tidak beragi di tengah-tengah saudara-saudara mereka.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
10 Ia menajiskan juga Tofet yang ada di lembah Ben-Hinom, supaya jangan orang mempersembahkan anak-anaknya sebagai korban dalam api untuk dewa Molokh.
He defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 Dibuangnyalah kuda-kuda yang ditaruh oleh raja-raja Yehuda untuk dewa matahari di pintu masuk ke rumah TUHAN, dekat bilik Natan-Melekh, pegawai istana, yang tinggal di gedung samping; juga kereta-kereta dewa matahari dibakarnya dengan api.
He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 Mezbah-mezbah, yang ada di atas sotoh, tempat peranginan Ahas, yang dibuat oleh raja-raja Yehuda, dan mezbah-mezbah, yang dibuat Manasye di kedua pelataran rumah TUHAN, dirobohkan oleh raja, dan diremukkan di sana, lalu dicampakkannya abunya ke sungai Kidron.
The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the Kidron Valley.
13 Bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang ada di sebelah timur Yerusalem di sebelah selatan bukit Kebusukan dan yang didirikan oleh Salomo, raja Israel, untuk Asytoret, dewa kejijikan sembahan orang Sidon, dan untuk Kamos, dewa kejijikan sembahan Moab, dan untuk Milkom, dewa kekejian sembahan orang Amon, dinajiskan oleh raja.
The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.
14 Ia memecahkan tugu-tugu berhala dan menebang tiang-tiang berhala, lalu ditimbuninya tempat-tempat itu penuh dengan tulang-tulang manusia.
He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
15 Juga mezbah yang ada di Betel, bukit pengorbanan yang dibuat oleh Yerobeam bin Nebat yang mengakibatkan orang Israel berdosa, mezbah dan bukit pengorbanan itupun dirobohkannya dan batu-batunya dipecahkannya, lalu ditumbuknya halus-halus menjadi abu, dan dibakarnyalah tiang berhala.
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
16 Dan ketika Yosia berpaling, dilihatnyalah kuburan-kuburan yang ada di gunung di sana, lalu menyuruh orang mengambil tulang-tulang dari kuburan-kuburan itu, membakarnya di atas mezbah dan menajiskannya, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang telah diserukan oleh abdi Allah yang telah menyerukan hal-hal ini.
And as Josiah turned himself, he saw the tombs that were there in the mountain. And he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast. And he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God who proclaimed these things.
17 Ia berkata: "Apakah tanda keramat yang kulihat ini?" Lalu orang-orang di kota itu menjawab dia: "Itulah kuburan abdi Allah yang sudah datang dari Yehuda dan yang telah menyerukan segala hal yang telah kaulakukan terhadap mezbah Betel ini!"
Then he said, "What monument is that which I see?" The men of the city told him, "It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel."
18 Lalu katanya: "Biarkanlah itu, janganlah ada orang yang menjamah tulang-tulangnya!" Jadi mereka tidak mengganggu tulang-tulangnya dan tulang-tulang nabi yang telah datang dari Samaria itu.
He said, "Let him be. Let no man move his bones." So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
19 Juga segala kuil di bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang di kota-kota Samaria yang dibuat oleh raja-raja Israel untuk menimbulkan sakit hati TUHAN, dijauhkan oleh Yosia dan dalam hal ini ia bertindak tepat seperti tindakannya di Betel.
All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20 Ia menyembelih di atas mezbah-mezbah itu semua imam bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang ada di sana dan dibakarnya tulang-tulang manusia di atasnya, lalu pulanglah ia ke Yerusalem.
He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Kemudian raja memberi perintah kepada seluruh bangsa itu: "Rayakanlah Paskah bagi TUHAN, Allahmu, seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab perjanjian ini!"
The king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this scroll of the covenant."
22 Sebab tidak pernah lagi dirayakan Paskah seperti itu sejak zaman para hakim yang memerintah atas Israel dan sepanjang zaman raja-raja Israel dan raja-raja Yehuda.
Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 Tetapi barulah dalam tahun kedelapan belas zaman raja Yosia Paskah ini dirayakan bagi TUHAN di Yerusalem.
but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
24 Para pemanggil arwah, dan para pemanggil roh peramal, juga terafim, berhala-berhala dan segala dewa kejijikan yang terlihat di tanah Yehuda dan di Yerusalem, dihapuskan oleh Yosia dengan maksud menepati perkataan Taurat yang tertulis dalam kitab yang telah didapati oleh imam Hilkia di rumah TUHAN.
Moreover Josiah removed the mediums, and spiritists, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the scroll that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
25 Sebelum dia tidak ada raja seperti dia yang berbalik kepada TUHAN dengan segenap hatinya, dengan segenap jiwanya dan dengan segenap kekuatannya, sesuai dengan segala Taurat Musa; dan sesudah dia tidak ada bangkit lagi yang seperti dia.
Like him was there no king before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 Tetapi TUHAN tidak beralih dari murka-Nya yang sangat bernyala-nyala itu yang telah bangkit terhadap Yehuda oleh karena segala sakit hati-Nya yang ditimbulkan Manasye.
Notwithstanding, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
27 Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN: "Juga orang Yehuda akan Kujauhkan dari hadapan-Ku seperti Aku menjauhkan orang Israel, dan Aku akan membuang kota yang Kupilih ini, yakni Yerusalem, dan rumah ini, walaupun Aku telah berfirman tentangnya: Nama-Ku akan tinggal di sana!"
The LORD said, "I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'"
28 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yosia dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 Dalam zamannya itu majulah Firaun Nekho, raja Mesir, melawan raja Asyur di tepi sungai Efrat; raja Yosia pergi menghadapi dia; tetapi Firaun membunuhnya di Megido, segera sesudah ia melihatnya.
In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Perath: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 Pegawai-pegawainya mengangkut mayatnya dengan kereta dari Megido dan membawanya ke Yerusalem, kemudian mereka menguburkannya dalam kuburnya sendiri. Maka rakyat negeri itu menjemput Yoahas, anak Yosia, mengurapi dia dan mengangkat dia menjadi raja menggantikan ayahnya.
His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
31 Yoahas berumur dua puluh tiga tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga bulan lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Hamutal binti Yeremia, dari Libna.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN tepat seperti yang dilakukan oleh nenek moyangnya.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 Firaun Nekho mengurung dia di Ribla, di tanah Hamat, supaya jangan ia memerintah di Yerusalem; lagi Firaun membebankan kepada negeri itu denda sebesar seratus talenta perak dan sepuluh talenta emas.
Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 Firaun Nekho mengangkat Elyakim, anak Yosia, menjadi raja menggantikan Yosia, ayahnya, dan menukar namanya dengan Yoyakim. Tetapi Yoahas dibawanya; Yoahas tiba di Mesir dan mati di sana.
Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
35 Yoyakim memberi emas dan perak itu kepada Firaun, tetapi ia menarik pajak dari negeri supaya dapat memberi uang itu, sesuai dengan titah Firaun. Ia menagih emas dan perak itu dari rakyat negeri, dari setiap orang menurut jumlah ketetapan pajaknya, untuk memberikannya kepada Firaun Nekho.
Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
36 Yoyakim berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan sebelas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Zebuda binti Pedaya, dari Ruma.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN tepat seperti yang dilakukan oleh nenek moyangnya.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
