2 Raja-raja 9
1 Kemudian nabi Elisa memanggil salah seorang dari rombongan nabi dan berkata kepadanya: "Ikatlah pinggangmu, bawalah buli-buli berisi minyak ini dan pergilah ke Ramot-Gilead.
And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this box of oil in your hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
2 Apabila engkau sampai ke sana, carilah Yehu bin Yosafat bin Nimsi; masuklah, ajak dia bangkit dari tengah-tengah temannya dan bawalah dia ke ruang dalam.
And when you come thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an inner chamber;
3 Kemudian ambillah buli-buli berisi minyak itu, lalu tuangkan isinya ke atas kepalanya dan katakan: Beginilah firman TUHAN: Telah Kuurapi engkau menjadi raja atas Israel! Sesudah itu bukalah pintu, larilah dan jangan berlambat-lambat."
Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus says the LORD, I have anointed you king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
4 Lalu nabi muda itu pergi ke Ramot-Gilead.
So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.
5 Setelah ia sampai, maka tampaklah panglima-panglima tentara sedang duduk berkumpul. Lalu ia berkata: "Ada pesan kubawa untukmu, ya panglima!" Yehu bertanya: "Untuk siapa dari kami sekalian?" Jawabnya: "Untukmu, ya panglima!"
And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of all us? And he said, To you, O captain.
6 Lalu bangkitlah Yehu dan masuk ke dalam rumah. Nabi muda itu menuang minyak ke atas kepala Yehu serta berkata kepadanya: "Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Telah Kuurapi engkau menjadi raja atas umat TUHAN, yaitu orang Israel.
And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
7 Maka engkau akan membunuh keluarga tuanmu Ahab dan dengan demikian Aku membalaskan kepada Izebel darah hamba-hamba-Ku, nabi-nabi itu, bahkan darah semua hamba TUHAN.
And you shall smite the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
8 Dan segenap keluarga Ahab akan binasa; dan Aku akan melenyapkan dari pada Ahab setiap orang laki-laki, baik yang tinggi maupun yang rendah kedudukannya di Israel.
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that urinates against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
9 Dan Aku akan memperlakukan keluarga Ahab sama seperti keluarga Yerobeam bin Nebat dan sama seperti keluarga Baesa bin Ahia.
And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
10 Izebel akan dimakan anjing di kebun di luar Yizreel dengan tidak ada orang yang menguburkannya." Kemudian nabi itu membuka pintu, lalu lari.
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 Apabila Yehu keluar mendapatkan pegawai-pegawai tuannya, berkatalah seorang kepadanya: "Apa kabar? Mengapa orang gila itu datang kepadamu?" Jawabnya kepada mereka: "Kamu sendiri mengenal orang itu dengan omongannya!"
Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, Is all well? why came this mad fellow to you? And he said to them, You know the man, and his communication.
12 Tetapi mereka berkata: "Dusta! Cobalah beritahukan kepada kami!" Lalu katanya: "Begini-beginilah dikatakannya kepadaku: Demikianlah firman TUHAN: Telah Kuurapi engkau menjadi raja atas Israel."
And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying, Thus says the LORD, I have anointed you king over Israel.
13 Segeralah mereka masing-masing mengambil pakaiannya dan membentangkannya di hadapan kakinya begitu saja di atas tangga, kemudian mereka meniup sangkakala serta berseru: "Yehu raja!"
Then they hurried, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
14 Demikianlah Yehu bin Yosafat bin Nimsi mengadakan persepakatan melawan Yoram. --Adapun Yoram sedang berjaga-jaga di Ramot-Gilead, bersama-sama dengan segenap orang Israel menghadapi Hazael, raja Aram.
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
15 Tetapi raja Yoram sendiri telah pulang ke Yizreel, supaya luka-lukanya diobati, yang ditimbulkan orang Aram pada waktu ia berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram. --Yehu berkata: "Jika kamu sudah setuju, janganlah biarkan siapapun meloloskan diri dari kota untuk memberitahukan hal itu ke Yizreel."
But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
16 Kemudian Yehu naik kereta dan pergi ke Yizreel, sebab Yoram berbaring sakit di sana. Juga Ahazia, raja Yehuda, datang menjenguk Yoram.
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
17 Ketika jaga yang sedang berdiri di atas menara di Yizreel, melihat pasukan Yehu datang, berserulah ia: "Ada kulihat suatu pasukan." Berkatalah Yoram: "Ambillah seorang penunggang kuda, suruhlah ia menemui mereka serta menanyakan: apakah ini kabar damai?"
And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 Lalu pergilah penunggang kuda itu untuk menemuinya dan berkata: "Beginilah tanya raja: apakah ini kabar damai?" Jawab Yehu: "Damai? Bukan urusanmu! Baliklah, ikutlah aku!" Dan jaga itu memberitahukan: "Suruhan sudah sampai kepada mereka, tetapi ia tidak pulang."
So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? turn you behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he comes not again.
19 Disuruhnyalah penunggang kuda yang kedua dan setelah sampai kepada mereka berkatalah ia: "Beginilah tanya raja: apakah ini kabar damai?" Jawab Yehu: "Damai? Bukan urusanmu! Baliklah, ikutlah aku!"
Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What have you to do with peace? turn you behind me.
20 Dan jaga itu memberitahukan: "Sudah sampai ia kepada mereka, tetapi ia tidak pulang! Dan cara memacunya adalah seperti cara Yehu, cucu Nimsi, memacu, sebab ia memacu seperti orang gila."
And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and comes not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.
21 Sesudah itu berkatalah Yoram: "Pasanglah kereta!", lalu orang memasang keretanya. Maka keluarlah Yoram, raja Israel, dan Ahazia, raja Yehuda, masing-masing naik keretanya; mereka keluar menemui Yehu, lalu menjumpai dia di kebun Nabot, orang Yizreel itu.
And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 Tatkala Yoram melihat Yehu, bertanyalah ia: "Apakah ini kabar damai, hai Yehu?" Jawabnya: "Bagaimana ada damai, selama sundal dan orang sihir ibumu Izebel begitu banyak!"
And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the prostitutions of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
23 Segera Yoram berputar dan mau melarikan diri sambil berseru kepada Ahazia: "Itu tipu, Ahazia!"
And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
24 Tetapi Yehu menarik busurnya dengan sepenuh kekuatannya, lalu memanah Yoram di antara kedua bahunya, sehingga anak panah itu menembus jantungnya, maka rebahlah ia di dalam keretanya.
And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 Kemudian berkatalah Yehu kepada Bidkar, perwiranya: "Angkat dan lemparkanlah mayatnya ke kebun Nabot, orang Yizreel itu, sebab ketahuilah, bahwa pada waktu aku dan engkau berdampingan menunggang kuda mengikuti Ahab, ayahnya, maka TUHAN telah mengucapkan terhadap dia hukuman ini:
Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and you rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on him;
26 Sesungguhnya, Aku telah melihat darah Nabot dan darah anak-anaknya tadi malam, demikianlah firman TUHAN, maka Aku akan membalaskannya kepadamu di kebun ini, demikianlah firman TUHAN. Oleh sebab itu angkat dan lemparkanlah mayatnya ke kebun ini, sesuai dengan firman TUHAN."
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, says the LORD; and I will requite you in this plat, says the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD.
27 Ketika Ahazia, raja Yehuda, melihat itu, maka iapun melarikan diri ke arah Bet-Hagan, tetapi Yehu mengejarnya sambil berkata: "Panahlah dia juga!" Maka mereka memanah dia di atas keretanya di pendakian ke Gur dekat Yibleam. Ia lari ke Megido dan mati di sana.
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 Para pegawainya mengangkut mayatnya ke Yerusalem, lalu mereka menguburkan dia dalam kuburnya sendiri, di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud.
And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulcher with his fathers in the city of David.
29 Adapun Ahazia menjadi raja atas Yehuda dalam tahun kesebelas zaman Yoram bin Ahab.
And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
30 Sampailah Yehu ke Yizreel. Ketika Izebel mendengar itu, ia mencalak matanya, dihiasinyalah kepalanya, lalu ia menjenguk dari jendela.
And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
31 Pada waktu Yehu masuk pintu gerbang, berserulah Izebel: "Bagaimana, selamatkah Zimri, pembunuh tuannya itu?"
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
32 Yehu mengangkat kepalanya melihat ke jendela itu dan berkata: "Siapa yang di pihakku? Siapa?" Dan ketika dua tiga orang pegawai istana menjenguk kepadanya,
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
33 ia berseru: "Jatuhkanlah dia!" Mereka menjatuhkan dia, sehingga darahnya memercik ke dinding dan ke kuda; mayatnyapun terinjak-injak.
And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he stepped her under foot.
34 Yehu masuk ke dalam, lalu makan dan minum. Kemudian ia berkata: "Baiklah urus mayat orang yang terkutuk itu dan kuburkanlah dia, sebab ia memang anak raja."
And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king’s daughter.
35 Mereka pergi untuk menguburkannya, tetapi mereka tidak menjumpai mayatnya, hanya kepala dan kedua kaki dan kedua telapak tangannya.
And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Mereka kembali memberitahukannya kepada Yehu, lalu ia berkata: "Memang begitulah firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan hamba-Nya, Elia, orang Tisbe itu: Di kebun di luar Yizreel akan dimakan anjing daging Izebel;
Why they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
37 maka mayat Izebel akan terhampar di kebun di luar Yizreel seperti pupuk di ladang, sehingga tidak ada orang yang dapat berkata: Inilah Izebel."
And the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
