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.
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, "Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
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.
When you come there, find 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 room.
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 vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, 'Thus says Jehovah, "I have anointed you king over Israel."' Then open the door, flee, and do not wait."
4 Lalu nabi muda itu pergi ke Ramot-Gilead.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth Gilead.
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!"
When he came, look, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, "I have a message for you, captain." Jehu said, "To which of us all?" 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.
He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'I have anointed you king over the people of Jehovah, 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.
You shall strike 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 Jehovah, 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. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
9 Dan Aku akan memperlakukan keluarga Ahab sama seperti keluarga Yerobeam bin Nebat dan sama seperti keluarga Baesa bin Ahia.
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.
The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.'" 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 did this mad fellow come to you?" He said to them, "You know the man and what his talk was."
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."
They said, "That is a lie. Tell us now." He said, "He said to me, 'Thus says Jehovah, 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 the trumpet, 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 was keeping Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Aram;
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 Arameans had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, "If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go 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. Ahaziah king of Judah had 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?"
Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." Joram said, "Take a 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?'" Jehu said, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me." The watchman said, "The messenger came to them, but he isn't coming back."
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, who came to them, and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu answered, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in 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."
The watchman said, "He came to them, and isn't coming back. 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.
Joram said, "Get ready." They got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found 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!"
It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" He answered, "What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?"
23 Segera Yoram berputar dan mau melarikan diri sambil berseru kepada Ahazia: "Itu tipu, Ahazia!"
Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, "There is treason, 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.
Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and shot Joram 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 Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, "Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for I remember how when you and I rode together behind Ahab his father, Jehovah pronounced this judgment 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 Jehovah; 'and I will repay you in this plot of ground,' says Jehovah. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the word of Jehovah."
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. Jehu followed after him, and said, "Shoot him also." And they shot him in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. 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.
His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.
29 Adapun Ahazia menjadi raja atas Yehuda dalam tahun kesebelas zaman Yoram bin Ahab.
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.
When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.
31 Pada waktu Yehu masuk pintu gerbang, berserulah Izebel: "Bagaimana, selamatkah Zimri, pembunuh tuannya itu?"
As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your 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,
He lifted up his face to the window, and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
33 ia berseru: "Jatuhkanlah dia!" Mereka menjatuhkan dia, sehingga darahnya memercik ke dinding dan ke kuda; mayatnyapun terinjak-injak.
He said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled 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."
When he had come in, he ate and drink; and he said, "See now to 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.
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;
Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, "This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
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 body 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."'"
