2 Raja-raja 23
1 Sesudah itu raja menyuruh orang mengumpulkan semua tua-tua Yehuda dan Yerusalem.
And 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.
And the king went up into 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 hearing all the words of the book 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.
And the king stood by a 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 their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people joined in 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.
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them 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.
And 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; them also that 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.
And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder of it upon the graves of the children of the people.
7 Ia merobohkan petak-petak pelacuran bakti yang ada di rumah TUHAN, tempat orang-orang perempuan bertenun sarung untuk Asyera.
And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
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.
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burnt incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and broke down the high places of the gates that were in 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 came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
10 Ia menajiskan juga Tofet yang ada di lembah Ben-Hinom, supaya jangan orang mempersembahkan anak-anaknya sebagai korban dalam api untuk dewa Molokh.
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of 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.
And 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 chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the common lands, and 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.
And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber 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, did the king beat down, and broke them down from there, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
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.
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 Ia memecahkan tugu-tugu berhala dan menebang tiang-tiang berhala, lalu ditimbuninya tempat-tempat itu penuh dengan tulang-tulang manusia.
And he broke in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, 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, both that altar and the high place he broke down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
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 espied the sepulchres that were there on the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
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 title is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast 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.
And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that 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.
And 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.
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burnt men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
21 Kemudian raja memberi perintah kepada seluruh bangsa itu: "Rayakanlah Paskah bagi TUHAN, Allahmu, seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab perjanjian ini!"
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this 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 held such a passover from the days of the judges that 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, when this passover was held 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 the mediums, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book 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.
And like him was there no king before him, that 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.
However the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations by 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!"
And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, 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, are they not 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 Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew 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.
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
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 and 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.
And 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.
And Pharaohnechoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and subjected the land to a tribute of an 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.
And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the stead of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim, and 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.
And 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 from the people of the land, from every one according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaohnechoh.
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 and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN tepat seperti yang dilakukan oleh nenek moyangnya.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
