2 Tawarikh 21

¹Kemudian Yosafat mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di kota Daud. Maka Yoram, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

¹Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

²Saudara-saudaranya, anak-anak Yosafat, ialah: Azarya, Yehiel, Zakharia, Azariahu, Mikhael dan Sefaca. Mereka semua anak-anak Yosafat, raja Israel.

²He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Judah.

³Ayahnya memberikan kepada mereka banyak pemberian, berupa emas dan perak dan barang-barang berharga, juga kota-kota berkubu di Yehuda. Tetapi kedudukan raja diberikannya kepada Yoram, karena dialah anak sulungnya.

³Their father gave them great gifts of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, together with fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.

⁴Sesudah Yoram memegang pemerintahan atas kerajaan ayahnya dan merasa dirinya kuat, ia membunuh dengan pedang semua saudaranya dan juga beberapa pembesar Israel.

⁴When Jehoram had ascended the throne of his father and was established, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.

⁵Yoram berumur tiga puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan delapan tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.

⁵Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

⁶Ia hidup menurut kelakuan raja-raja Israel seperti yang dilakukan keluarga Ahab, sebab yang menjadi isterinya adalah anak Ahab. Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.

⁶And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.

⁷Namun demikian, TUHAN tidak mau memusnahkan keluarga Daud oleh karena perjanjian yang diikat-Nya dengan Daud, sesuai dengan yang dijanjikan-Nya, bahwa Ia hendak memberikan keturunan kepadanya dan kepada anak-anaknya untuk selama-lamanya.

⁷Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.

⁸Pada zamannya memberontaklah Edom terhadap kekuasaan Yehuda dan mereka mengangkat seorang raja atas mereka sendiri.

⁸In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah and set up a king of their own.

⁹Maka majulah Yoram dengan panglima-panglimanya serta seluruh keretanya; pada waktu malam bangunlah ia, lalu bersama-sama dengan para panglima pasukan kereta ia menerobos barisan orang Edom yang mengepung dia.

⁹Then Jehoram passed over with his commanders and all his chariots, and he rose by night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.

¹⁰Demikianlah Edom memberontak kekuasaan Yehuda dan terlepas sampai sekarang ini. Lalu Libnapun memberontak terhadap kekuasaannya pada masa itu juga. Itu disebabkan karena ia telah meninggalkan TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangnya.

¹⁰So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. At that time Libnah also revolted from his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.

¹¹Lagipula ia membuat bukit-bukit pengorbanan di gunung-gunung Yehuda. Ia membujuk penduduk Yerusalem untuk berzinah dan ia menyesatkan Yehuda.

¹¹Moreover, he made high places in the hill country of Judah and led the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom and made Judah go astray.

¹²Lalu sampailah kepadanya sebuah surat dari nabi Elia yang bunyinya: "Beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Daud, bapa leluhurmu: Karena engkau tidak hidup mengikuti jejak Yosafat, ayahmu, dan Asa, raja Yehuda,

¹²And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

¹³melainkan hidup menurut kelakuan raja-raja Israel dan membujuk Yehuda dan penduduk-penduduk Yerusalem untuk berzinah, sama seperti yang dilakukan keluarga Ahab, dan juga karena engkau telah membunuh saudara-saudaramu, seluruh keluarga ayahmu yang lebih baik dari padamu,

¹³but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have enticed Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom, as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also you have killed your brothers, of your father's house, who were better than yourself,

¹⁴maka TUHAN akan mendatangkan tulah besar atas rakyatmu, anak-anakmu, isteri-isterimu, dan atas semua harta milikmu.

¹⁴behold, the LORD will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions,

¹⁵Dan engkau sendiri akan menderita penyakit yang dahsyat, suatu penyakit usus, hingga selang beberapa waktu ususmu keluar oleh karena penyakit itu."

¹⁵and you yourself will have a severe sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.'"

¹⁶Lalu TUHAN menggerakkan hati orang Filistin dan orang Arab yang tinggal berdekatan dengan orang Etiopia untuk melawan Yoram.

¹⁶And the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the anger of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are near the Ethiopians.

¹⁷Maka mereka maju melawan Yehuda, memasukinya dan mengangkut segala harta milik yang terdapat di dalam istana raja sebagai jarahan, juga anak-anak dan isteri-isterinya, sehingga tidak ada seorang anak yang tinggal padanya kecuali Yoahas, anaknya yang bungsu.

¹⁷And they came up against Judah and invaded it and carried away all the possessions they found that belonged to the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest son.

¹⁸Sesudah semuanya ini TUHAN menulahinya dengan penyakit usus yang tidak dapat sembuh.

¹⁸And after all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

¹⁹Beberapa waktu berselang, kira-kira sesudah lewat dua tahun, keluarlah ususnya karena penyakitnya itu, lalu ia mati dengan penderitaan yang hebat. Rakyatnya tidak menyalakan api baginya seperti yang diperbuat mereka bagi nenek moyangnya.

¹⁹In course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, like the fires made for his fathers.

²⁰Ia berumur tiga puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan delapan tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Ia meninggal dengan tidak dicintai orang. Ia dikuburkan di kota Daud, tetapi tidak di dalam pekuburan raja-raja.

²⁰He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one's regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
