2 Kings 1
1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
Setelah Ahab raja Israel meninggal, negeri Moab memberontak terhadap Israel.
2 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.”
Pada suatu hari Raja Ahazia dari Israel jatuh dari serambi di tingkat atas istananya di Samaria, sehingga ia luka parah. Maka ia mengutus orang untuk bertanya kepada Baal-Zebub, dewa kota Ekron di Filistin, apakah ia akan sembuh atau tidak.
3 But the LORD’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
Tetapi malaikat TUHAN menyuruh Elia, nabi dari Tisbe, pergi menemui utusan-utusan Raja Ahazia itu untuk berkata, "Apakah di Israel tidak ada Allah sehingga kalian mau pergi meminta petunjuk kepada Baal-Zebub, dewa kota Ekron itu?
4 Now therefore the LORD says, “You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.”’” Then Elijah departed.
Beritahukanlah kepada raja bahwa TUHAN berkata begini, 'Engkau tidak akan sembuh, engkau akan mati!'" Setelah Elia melaksanakan perintah TUHAN itu,
5 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”
kembalilah utusan-utusan itu kepada raja, lalu raja bertanya, "Kenapa kalian kembali?"
6 They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “The LORD says, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”
Mereka menjawab, "Seorang laki-laki datang menemui kami, dan menyuruh kami kembali untuk mengatakan kepada Baginda bahwa TUHAN berkata begini kepada Baginda, 'Apakah di Israel tidak ada Allah, sehingga engkau menyuruh meminta petunjuk kepada Baal-Zebub, dewa kota Ekron? Engkau tidak akan sembuh, engkau akan mati!'"
7 He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?”
"Bagaimana rupa orang itu?" tanya raja.
8 They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite.”
"Jubah dan ikat pinggangnya dari kulit," jawab mereka. "O, itu Elia!" kata raja.
9 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”
Lalu ia menyuruh seorang perwira bersama lima puluh orang anak buahnya pergi menangkap Elia. Perwira itu pergi lalu menemukan Elia sedang duduk di sebuah bukit. "Hai, hamba Allah," kata perwira itu, "raja memerintahkan engkau turun!"
10 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
"Kalau saya ini memang hamba Allah," jawab Elia, "hendaklah api turun dari langit dan membakar habis engkau serta semua anak buahmu!" Saat itu juga turunlah api dan membakar perwira itu dengan kelima puluh orang anak buahnya.
11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”
Lalu raja mengutus seorang perwira lain bersama lima puluh orang anak buahnya juga. Mereka pergi dan berkata kepada Elia, "Hai, hamba Allah, raja memerintahkan engkau turun sekarang ini juga!"
12 Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
"Kalau saya memang hamba Allah," jawab Elia, "hendaklah api turun dari langit dan membakar habis engkau serta semua anak buahmu!" Saat itu juga turunlah api dari Allah dan membakar habis perwira itu dengan kelima puluh orang anak buahnya.
13 Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight.
Sekali lagi raja mengutus seorang perwira bersama lima puluh orang anak buahnya. Perwira itu naik ke bukit dan setelah sampai di depan Elia ia berlutut dan berkata, "Ampunilah kami, ya hamba Allah! Kasihanilah saya dan semua anak buah saya ini. Janganlah kami dibunuh!
14 Behold, fire came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”
Dua perwira yang lain bersama anak buah mereka mati dimakan api dari langit, tetapi saya mohon, kasihanilah saya!"
15 The LORD’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” Then he arose and went down with him to the king.
Pada saat itu juga berkatalah malaikat TUHAN kepada Elia, "Jangan takut! Ikutlah dia turun dari bukit ini." Karena itu pergilah Elia bersama perwira itu kepada raja.
16 He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”
Lalu kata Elia kepada raja, "TUHAN berkata, 'Engkau menyuruh orang meminta petunjuk kepada Baal-Zebub dewa kota Ekron seakan-akan di Israel tidak ada Allah yang dapat ditanyai. Karena itu engkau tidak akan sembuh, engkau akan mati!'"
17 So he died according to the LORD’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
Maka matilah Ahazia seperti yang dikatakan TUHAN melalui Elia. Karena Ahazia tidak mempunyai anak laki-laki, maka Yoram saudaranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia. Itu terjadi pada tahun kedua pemerintahan Yehoram anak Yosafat, raja Yehuda.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Kisah lainnya mengenai apa yang dilakukan Raja Ahazia dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
