2 Raja-raja 8
1 Elisa telah berbicara kepada perempuan yang anaknya dihidupkannya kembali, katanya: "Berkemaslah dan pergilah bersama-sama dengan keluargamu, dan tinggallah di mana saja engkau dapat menetap sebagai pendatang, sebab TUHAN telah mendatangkan kelaparan, yang pasti menimpa negeri ini tujuh tahun lamanya."
Now Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had caused to live, saying: “Rise up. Go, you and your household, and sojourn in whatever place you can find. For the Lord has called forth a famine, and it shall overwhelm the land for seven years.”
2 Lalu berkemaslah perempuan itu dan dilakukannyalah seperti perkataan abdi Allah itu. Ia pergi bersama-sama dengan keluarganya, lalu tinggal menetap sebagai pendatang di negeri orang Filistin tujuh tahun lamanya.
And she rose up, and she acted in accord with the word of the man of God. And going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.
3 Dan setelah lewat ketujuh tahun itu, pulanglah perempuan itu dari negeri orang Filistin. Kemudian ia pergi mengadukan perihal rumahnya dan ladangnya kepada raja.
And when the seven years had ended, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. And she departed, so that she might petition the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields.
4 Raja sedang berbicara kepada Gehazi, bujang abdi Allah itu, katanya: "Cobalah ceritakan kepadaku tentang segala perbuatan besar yang dilakukan Elisa."
Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Describe for me all the great deeds that Elisha has done.”
5 Sedang ia menceritakan kepada raja tentang Elisa menghidupkan anak yang sudah mati itu, tampaklah perempuan yang anaknya dihidupkan itu datang mengadukan perihal rumahnya dan ladangnya kepada raja. Lalu berkatalah Gehazi: "Ya tuanku raja! Inilah perempuan itu dan inilah anaknya yang dihidupkan Elisa."
And as he was describing for the king the manner in which he had raised the dead, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying out to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields. And Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha raised up.”
6 Lalu raja bertanya-tanya, dan perempuan itu menceritakan semuanya kepadanya. Kemudian raja menugaskan seorang pegawai istana menyertai perempuan itu dengan pesan: "Pulangkanlah segala miliknya dan segala hasil ladang itu sejak ia meninggalkan negeri ini sampai sekarang."
And the king questioned the woman. And she explained it to him. And the king appointed a eunuch to her, saying, “Restore to her all that is hers, with all the proceeds of the fields, from the day that she left the land until the present.”
7 Elisa masuk ke Damsyik, dan pada waktu itu Benhadad, raja Aram, sedang sakit. Ketika dikabarkan kepada raja: "Sudah datang abdi Allah ke mari,"
Also, Elisha arrived in Damascus, and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was ill. And they reported to him, saying, “The man of God has arrived here.”
8 berkatalah ia kepada Hazael: "Ambillah persembahan, pergilah menyongsong abdi Allah itu dan mintalah petunjuk TUHAN dengan perantaraannya: Sembuhkah aku dari penyakit ini?"
And the king said to Hazael: “Take with you gifts. And go to meet the man of God. And consult the Lord through him, saying: ‘Will I be able to escape from this, my infirmity?’”
9 Lalu pergilah Hazael menyongsong dia, diambilnyalah persembahan berupa segala barang yang indah-indah dari Damsyik, sebanyak muatan empat puluh ekor unta. Sesudah sampai, tampillah ia ke depan Elisa dan berkata: "Anakmu Benhadad, raja Aram, menyuruh aku menanyakan kepadamu: Apakah aku akan sembuh dari penyakit ini?"
And so, Hazael went to meet him, having with him gifts, and all the goods of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he had stood before him, he said: “Your son, Benhadad, the king of Syria, sent me to you, saying: ‘Will I be able to be healed from this, my infirmity?’”
10 Jawab Elisa kepadanya: "Pergilah, katakanlah kepadanya: Pastilah engkau sembuh. Namun demikian, TUHAN telah memperlihatkan kepadaku, bahwa ia pasti mati dibunuh."
And Elisha said to him: “Go, tell him: ‘You will be healed.’ But the Lord has revealed to me that, dying he shall die.”
11 Elisa menatap dengan lama ke depan, lalu menangislah abdi Allah itu.
And he stood beside him, and he was so troubled that his face became flushed. And the man of God wept.
12 Hazael berkata: "Mengapa tuanku menangis?" Jawab Elisa: "Sebab aku tahu bagaimana malapetaka yang akan kaulakukan kepada orang Israel: kotanya yang berkubu akan kaucampakkan ke dalam api, terunanya akan kaubunuh dengan pedang, bayinya akan kauremukkan dan perempuannya yang mengandung akan kaubelah."
And Hazael said to him, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he said: “Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified cities you will burn with fire. And their young men you will kill with the sword. And you will destroy their little ones, and tear open the pregnant women.”
13 Sesudah itu berkatalah Hazael: "Tetapi apakah hambamu ini, yang tidak lain dari anjing saja, sehingga ia dapat melakukan hal sehebat itu?" Jawab Elisa: "TUHAN telah memperlihatkan kepadaku, bahwa engkau akan menjadi raja atas Aram."
And Hazael said, “But what am I, your servant, a dog, that I would do this great thing?” And Elisha said, “The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.”
14 Lalu ia pergi dan meninggalkan Elisa dan setelah ia sampai kepada tuannya, berkatalah raja kepadanya: "Apakah dikatakan Elisa kepadamu?" Jawabnya: "Ia berkata kepadaku, bahwa pastilah engkau sembuh."
And when he had departed from Elisha, he went to his lord, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he responded: “He said to me, ‘You shall receive health.’”
15 Tetapi keesokan harinya ia mengambil sehelai selimut yang telah dicelupkannya ke dalam air dan membentangkannya ke atas muka raja. Jadi matilah raja, dan Hazael menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And when the next day had arrived, he took a small covering, and poured water on it, and he spread it over his face. And when he died, Hazael reigned in his place.
16 Dalam tahun kelima zaman Yoram, anak Ahab raja Israel--pada waktu itu Yosafat adalah raja Yehuda--Yoram, anak Yosafat raja Yehuda menjadi raja.
In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned as the king of Judah.
17 Ia berumur tiga puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan delapan tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Ia hidup menurut kelakuan raja-raja Israel seperti yang dilakukan keluarga Ahab, sebab yang menjadi isterinya adalah anak Ahab. Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had walked. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 Namun demikian, TUHAN tidak mau memusnahkan Yehuda oleh karena Daud, hamba-Nya, sesuai dengan yang dijanjikan-Nya kepada Daud, bahwa Ia hendak memberikan keturunan kepadanya dan kepada anak-anaknya untuk selama-lamanya.
But the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, because of David, his servant, just as he had promised him, so that he might grant a light to him and to his sons, for all days.
20 Pada zamannya memberontaklah Edom dan melepaskan diri dari kekuasaan Yehuda dan mereka mengangkat seorang raja atas mereka sendiri.
In his days, Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, and they appointed a king for themselves.
21 Maka majulah Yoram ke Zair bersama-sama dengan seluruh keretanya; pada waktu malam bangunlah ia, lalu bersama-sama dengan para panglima pasukan kereta ia menerobos barisan orang Edom yang mengepung dia, tetapi rakyatnya melarikan diri pulang ke kemahnya.
And so, Jehoram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him. And he rose up in the night, and he struck down the Idumeans who had surrounded him, and the leaders of the chariots. But the people fled to their tents.
22 Demikianlah Edom memberontak dan terlepas dari kekuasaan Yehuda sampai sekarang ini. Lalu Libnapun memberontak pada masa itu juga.
And Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, even to this day. Then Libnah also drew apart, at the same time.
23 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoram dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
Now the rest of the words of Jehoram, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
24 Kemudian Yoram mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud. Maka Ahazia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
25 Dalam tahun kedua belas zaman Yoram, anak Ahab raja Israel, Ahazia, anak Yoram raja Yehuda, menjadi raja.
In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel: Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.
26 Ia berumur dua puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan setahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Atalya, cucu Omri raja Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, the king of Israel.
27 Ia hidup menurut kelakuan keluarga Ahab dan ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN sama seperti keluarga Ahab, sebab ia adalah seorang menantu dari keluarga itu.
And he walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
28 Ia pergi bersama-sama Yoram bin Ahab untuk berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram, di Ramot-Gilead. Tetapi orang-orang Aram melukai Yoram.
Also, he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, in order to fight against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians had wounded Joram.
29 Kemudian pulanglah raja Yoram ke Yizreel, supaya diobati luka-lukanya yang ditimbulkan orang Aram di Rama pada waktu ia berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram. Dan Ahazia, anak Yoram raja Yehuda, pergi menjenguk Yoram bin Ahab di Yizreel, karena dia sakit.
And he turned back, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For the Syrians had wounded him at Ramoth, fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. Then Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended to visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he was sick there.
