1 Raja-raja 15
1 Pada tahun kedelapan belas pemerintahan Raja Yerobeam atas Israel, Abiam menjadi raja Yehuda
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jerobo'am the son of Nebat became Abiyam king over Judah.
2 dan memerintah selama tiga tahun di Yerusalem. Ibunya ialah Maakha, anak Abisalom.
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Ma'achah, the daughter of Abishalom.
3 Abiam melakukan dosa-dosa seperti ayahnya. Ia tidak sepenuh hati setia kepada TUHAN Allahnya, berlainan dengan Daud, kakek buyutnya.
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not entire with the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.
4 Tetapi, demi Raja Daud, maka TUHAN, Allah yang disembah oleh Daud, telah memberikan kepada Abiam seorang anak untuk menggantikan dia memerintah di Yerusalem dan mempertahankan kota itu.
Nevertheless for the sake of David did the Lord his God give him a rule in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to allow Jerusalem to exist.
5 TUHAN melakukan hal itu oleh sebab Daud telah menyenangkan hati-Nya. Daud tidak pernah mengabaikan perintah-perintah TUHAN, kecuali dalam perkara Uria orang Het itu.
Because David did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from all that he had commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriyah the Hittite.
6 Perang antara Rehabeam dan Yerobeam yang dimulai pada masa Rehabeam masih berlangsung selama pemerintahan Abiam.
And there had been war between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am all the days of his life.
7 Kisah lainnya mengenai Abiam sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.
And the rest of the acts of Abiyam, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. And there was [also] war between Abiyam and Jerobo'am.
8 Abiam pun meninggal dan dimakamkan di Kota Daud. Asa anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And Abiyam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Assa his son became king in his stead.
9 Pada tahun kedua puluh pemerintahan Raja Yerobeam atas Israel, Asa menjadi raja Yehuda.
And in the twentieth year of Jerobo'am the king of Israel became Assa king over Judah.
10 Ia memerintah empat puluh satu tahun lamanya di Yerusalem. Neneknya ialah Maakha, anak Abisalom.
And forty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Ma'achah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11 Seperti Daud, nenek moyangnya, Asa menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
And Assa did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father.
12 Semua pelacur yang bertugas di tempat-tempat penyembahan dewa disingkirkannya, dan semua berhala yang didirikan oleh raja-raja yang memerintah sebelum dia dihapuskannya dari seluruh negeri.
And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols which his fathers had made.
13 Neneknya, Maakha, dipecatnya dari kedudukannya sebagai Ibu suri, sebab ia telah membuat patung berhala yang cabul untuk Asyera, dewi kesuburan. Asa merobohkan berhala itu dan membakarnya di Lembah Kidron.
And also Ma'achah his mother, even her he removed from being queen; because she had made a scandalous image for the grove; and Assa cut down her scandalous image, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
14 Meskipun tidak semua tempat penyembahan berhala dihancurkan oleh Asa, namun ia tetap setia kepada TUHAN sepanjang hidupnya.
But the high-places were not removed; nevertheless Assa's heart was entire with the Lord all his days.
15 Semua emas dan perak yang telah dipersembahkan ayahnya kepada TUHAN, dibawanya ke Rumah TUHAN, begitu juga emas dan perak, persembahannya sendiri.
And he brought the things which his father had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, into the house of the Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 Semasa pemerintahan Raja Asa dari Yehuda dan Raja Baesa dari Israel selalu ada perang antara kedua raja itu.
And there was war between Assa and Ba'sha the king of Israel all their days.
17 Baesa menyerang Yehuda dan memperkuat kota Rama untuk menutup jalan keluar masuk Yehuda.
And Ba'sha the king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order not to suffer any one to go out or come in to Assa the king of Judah.
18 Karena itu Raja Asa mengambil semua emas dan perak yang masih ada di Rumah TUHAN dan istana raja lalu mengirimnya ke Damsyik kepada Benhadad raja Siria, anak Tabrimon, yaitu cucu Hezion. Barang-barang itu dikirim dengan perantaraan beberapa pejabat istana, disertai pesan berikut ini,
Then did Assa take all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Assa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Chesyon, the king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
19 "Marilah kita mengikat persahabatan seperti yang sudah dilakukan oleh orang tua kita. Bersama ini saya mengirim emas dan perak sebagai hadiah, dan mengajak tuan memutuskan hubungan dengan Baesa raja Israel, supaya ia menarik kembali pasukannya dari wilayah saya."
A covenant is between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go and do break thy covenant with Ba'sha the king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me.
20 Benhadad setuju dengan tawaran itu lalu menyuruh perwira-perwiranya bersama pasukan mereka menyerang kota-kota Israel. Mereka mengalahkan Iyon, Dan, Abel-Bet-Maakha dan Kinerot di dekat Danau Galilea serta seluruh wilayah Naftali.
And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Assa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote 'Iyon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-ma'achah, and the whole of Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 Ketika Baesa mendengar hal itu, ia berhenti memperkuat Rama. Ia pergi ke Tirza dan untuk sementara waktu tidak berperang.
And it came to pass, when Ba'sha heard this, that he left off the building of Ramah, and remained in Tirzah.
22 Setelah itu, semua orang di seluruh Yehuda tanpa kecuali diperintahkan oleh Raja Asa untuk mengangkut batu dan kayu yang dipakai Baesa di Rama untuk memperkuat kota itu. Bahan-bahan itu dipakai Asa untuk memperkuat kota Mizpa dan Geba, sebuah kota di wilayah Benyamin.
Then king Assa called together by proclamation all Judah, none being exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, wherewith Ba'sha had built; and king Assa built with them Geba' of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Asa, yaitu kepahlawanannya dan kota-kota yang diperkuatnya, sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda. Pada masa tuanya Asa menderita penyakit pada kedua kakinya.
And the rest of all the acts of Assa, and all his mighty deeds, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. Nevertheless in the time of his old age he became diseased in his feet.
24 Ia meninggal dan dikubur di makam raja-raja di Kota Daud. Yosafat, putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And Assa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead.
25 Pada tahun kedua pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Nadab anak Yerobeam menjadi raja di Israel dan memerintah dua tahun lamanya.
And Nadab the son of Jerobo'am became king over Israel in the second year of Assa the king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 Sama seperti ayahnya yang memerintah sebelumnya, ia pun melakukan yang jahat pada pemandangan TUHAN sehingga menyebabkan orang Israel berbuat dosa.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and he walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he had induced Israel to sin.
27 Baesa, anak Ahia, dari suku Isakhar berkomplot melawan Nadab, lalu membunuh dia. Pada waktu itu Nadab dengan pasukannya sedang mengepung kota Gibeton di wilayah Filistin.
And Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Ba'sha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines: while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
28 Itu terjadi dalam tahun ketiga pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda. Demikianlah Baesa menjadi raja Israel menggantikan Nadab.
And Ba'sha slew him in the third year of Assa the king of Judah, and became king in his stead.
29 Segera setelah Baesa menjadi raja, ia membunuh seluruh keluarga Yerobeam. Sesuai dengan apa yang telah dikatakan TUHAN melalui hamba-Nya, Nabi Ahia dari Silo, maka seluruh keluarga Yerobeam terbunuh, tidak seorang pun yang luput.
And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jerobo'am; he left not any that breathed unto Jerobo'am, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by his servant Achiyah the Shilonite;
30 Yerobeam berdosa dan menyebabkan orang Israel pun berdosa. Dengan demikian Yerobeam membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN, Allah yang disembah orang Israel.
Because of the sins of Jerobo'am which he had sinned, and through which he had induced Israel to sin, by his provoking wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel to anger.
31 Kisah lainnya mengenai Nadab sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
32 Selama masa pemerintahan Raja Baesa dari Israel, perang selalu terjadi antara Baesa dan Raja Asa dari Yehuda.
And there was war between Assa and Ba'sha the king of Israel all their days.
33 Pada tahun ketiga pemerintahan Raja Asa atas Yehuda, Baesa anak Ahia menjadi raja atas seluruh Israel. Ia memerintah di Tirza dua puluh empat tahun lamanya.
In the third year of Assa the king of Judah became Ba'sha the son of Achiyah king over all Israel, in Thirzah, [for] twenty and four years.
34 Sama seperti Raja Yerobeam yang memerintah sebelumnya, Raja Baesa pun berdosa kepada TUHAN dan menyebabkan orang Israel juga berbuat dosa.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jerobo'am, and in his sin wherewith he had induced Israel to sin.
