¹Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

¹Setelah Ahab raja Israel meninggal, negeri Moab memberontak terhadap Israel.

²Ahaziah 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.”

²Pada 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.

³But the angel of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. 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 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?

³Tetapi 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?

⁴Now therefore thus says Yahweh, “You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.”’” Elijah departed.

⁴Beritahukanlah kepada raja bahwa TUHAN berkata begini, 'Engkau tidak akan sembuh, engkau akan mati!'" Setelah Elia melaksanakan perintah TUHAN itu,

⁵The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”

⁵kembalilah utusan-utusan itu kepada raja, lalu raja bertanya, "Kenapa kalian kembali?"

⁶They 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, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”’”

⁶Mereka 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!'"

⁷He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?”

⁷"Bagaimana rupa orang itu?" tanya raja.

⁸They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”

⁸"Jubah dan ikat pinggangnya dari kulit," jawab mereka. "O, itu Elia!" kata raja.

⁹Then 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!’”

⁹Lalu 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!"

¹⁰Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹⁰"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.

¹¹Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”

¹¹Lalu 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!"

¹²Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹²"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.

¹³Again 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 your servants, be precious in your sight.

¹³Sekali 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!

¹⁴Behold, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”

¹⁴Dua perwira yang lain bersama anak buah mereka mati dimakan api dari langit, tetapi saya mohon, kasihanilah saya!"

¹⁵The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” He arose, and went down with him to the king.

¹⁵Pada 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.

¹⁶He said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘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 shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”

¹⁶Lalu 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!'"

¹⁷So he died according to the word of Yahweh 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.

¹⁷Maka 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.

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁸Kisah lainnya mengenai apa yang dilakukan Raja Ahazia dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
