Ahaz Succeeds Jotham in Judah
1Ahas berumur dua puluh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan enam belas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Ia tidak melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN seperti Daud, bapa leluhurnya, 2tetapi ia hidup menurut kelakuan raja-raja Israel, bahkan ia membuat patung-patung tuangan untuk para Baal. 3Ia membakar juga korban di Lebak Ben-Hinom dan membakar anak-anaknya sebagai korban dalam api, sesuai dengan perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalaukan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel. 4Ia mempersembahkan dan membakar korban di bukit-bukit pengorbanan dan di atas tempat-tempat yang tinggi dan di bawah setiap pohon yang rimbun.
1Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years. He did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD as his father David had done. 2But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; he also made cast metal images for the Baals. 3Furthermore, he burned incense in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, and burned his sons in fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had driven out from the sons of Israel. 4He sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
Judah Is Invaded
5Sebab itu TUHAN, Allahnya, menyerahkannya ke dalam tangan raja orang Aram. Mereka mengalahkan dia dan menawan banyak orang dari padanya, yang diangkut ke Damsyik. Kemudian ia diserahkan pula ke dalam tangan raja Israel dan mengalami kekalahan yang besar. 6Sebab dalam sehari Pekah bin Remalya menewaskan di Yehuda seratus dua puluh ribu orang, semuanya orang-orang yang tangkas, oleh karena mereka telah meninggalkan TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka. 7Dan Zikhri, pahlawan dari Efraim, membunuh Maaseya, anak raja, Azrikam, kepala istana, dan Elkana orang kedua di bawah raja.
5Therefore the LORD his God handed him over to the king of Aram; and they defeated him and carried from him a great number of captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also handed over to the king of Israel, who struck him with heavy casualties. 6For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed 120,000 in Judah in one day, all valiant men, because they had abandoned the LORD God of their fathers. 7And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah the second to the king.
8Orang Israel menawan dari saudara-saudaranya dua ratus ribu orang, yakni perempuan-perempuan serta anak-anak lelaki dan anak-anak perempuan. Mereka merampas juga banyak harta milik dari pada orang-orang itu, dan membawa rampasan itu ke Samaria. 9Tetapi di sana ada seorang nabi TUHAN yang bernama Oded. Ia pergi menemui tentara yang pulang ke Samaria dan berkata kepada mereka: "Lihatlah, karena kehangatan murka-Nya kepada Yehuda, TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu, menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tanganmu, dan kamu telah mengadakan pembunuhan di antara mereka dengan kegeraman yang sampai ke langit. 10Dan sekarang kamu bermaksud menaklukkan orang Yehuda dan Yerusalem menjadi hambamu laki-laki dan perempuan. Tidak adakah pada kamu sendiri kesalahan yang besar terhadap TUHAN, Allahmu ? 11Maka sekarang, dengarkanlah kataku ini: kembalikanlah orang-orang yang kamu tawan dari saudara-saudaramu itu, karena murka Allah menyala-nyala terhadap kamu." 12Lalu bangkitlah beberapa pemimpin bani Efraim, yakni: Azarya bin Yohanan, Berekhya bin Mesilemot, Yehizkia bin Salum dan Amasa bin Hadlai menghadapi orang-orang yang pulang dari perang, 13dan berkata kepada mereka: "Jangan bawa tawanan-tawanan itu ke mari, sebab maksudmu itu menjadikan kita bersalah terhadap TUHAN dan menambah dosa dan kesalahan kita! Sudah cukup besar kesalahan kita, dan murka yang menyala-nyala telah menimpa Israel." 14Lalu orang-orang yang bersenjata itu meninggalkan tawanan dan barang-barang rampasannya di muka para pemimpin dan seluruh jemaah. 15Dan orang-orang yang ditunjuk dengan disebut namanya bangkit, lalu menjemput para tawanan itu. Semua orang yang telanjang mereka berikan pakaian dari rampasan itu. Orang-orang itu diberi pakaian, kasut, makanan dan minuman. Mereka diurapi dengan minyak dan semua yang terlalu payah untuk berjalan diangkut dengan keledai, dan dibawa ke Yerikho, ke kota pohon korma, dekat saudara-saudara mereka. Sesudah itu orang Israel itu pulang ke Samaria.
8The sons of Israel led away captive two hundred thousand of their relatives, women, sons, and daughters; and they also took a great deal of spoils from them, and brought the spoils to Samaria. 9But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army which came to Samaria and said to them, “Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, He has handed them over to you, and you have killed them in a rage which has even reached heaven. 10“Now you are proposing to subjugate the people of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Are you not, however guilty yourselves of offenses against the LORD your God? 11“Now then, listen to me and return the captives whom you captured from your brothers, for the burning anger of the LORD is against you.” 12Then some of the leading men of the sons of Ephraim—Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai—rose up against those who were coming from the battle, 13and said to them, “You must not bring the captives in here, for you are proposing to bring guilt upon us before the LORD, adding to our sins and our guilt; for our guilt is great, and His burning anger is against Israel.” 14So the armed men left the captives and the spoils before the officers and all the assembly. 15Then the men who were designated by name got up, took the captives, and they clothed all their naked people from the spoils; they gave them clothes and sandals, fed them and gave them drink, anointed them with oil, led all their feeble ones on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers; then they returned to Samaria.
Compromise with Assyria
16Pada waktu itu raja Ahas menyuruh utusan kepada raja negeri Asyur untuk memohon bantuan. 17Karena orang Edom telah datang pula dan mengalahkan Yehuda serta mengangkut tawanan-tawanan. 18Orang-orang Filistin juga telah menyerbu kota-kota di Daerah Bukit dan di Tanah Negeb Yehuda. Merekapun merebut Bet-Semes, Ayalon, Gederot, Sokho dengan segala anak kotanya, Timna dengan segala anak kotanya dan Gomzo dengan segala anak kotanya, dan menetap di kota-kota itu. 19Demikianlah TUHAN merendahkan Yehuda oleh karena Ahas, raja Israel itu, membiarkan kebiadaban berlaku di Yehuda dan berubah setia kepada TUHAN. 20Maka datanglah Tilgat-Pilneser, raja negeri Asyur, kepadanya, hanya bukan membantu dia, melainkan menyesakkannya. 21Walaupun Ahas merampas barang-barang dari rumah TUHAN, dari rumah raja dan dari rumah-rumah para pemimpin dan menyerahkan semua itu kepada raja negeri Asyur, namun perbuatannya itu tidak menguntungkan dia.
16At that time King Ahaz sent word to the kings of Assyria for help. 17For the Edomites had come again and attacked Judah, and led away captives. 18The Philistines had also invaded the cities of the lowland and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they had settled there. 19For the LORD had humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had brought about a lack of restraint in Judah and was very unfaithful to the LORD. 20So Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him. 21Although Ahaz took a portion out of the house of the LORD and out of the palace of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.
22Dalam keadaan terdesak itu raja Ahas ini, malah semakin berubah setia terhadap TUHAN. 23Ia mempersembahkan korban kepada para allah orang Damsyik yang telah mengalahkan dia. Pikirnya: "Yang membantu raja-raja orang Aram adalah para allah mereka; kepada merekalah aku akan mempersembahkan korban, supaya mereka membantu aku juga." Tetapi allah-allah itulah yang menjadi sebab keruntuhan bagi dia dan bersama-sama dengan dia bagi seluruh Israel. 24Ahas mengumpulkan perkakas-perkakas rumah Allah dan menghancurkannya. Ia menutup pintu rumah TUHAN, lalu membuat mezbah-mezbah bagi dirinya di segenap penjuru Yerusalem. 25Di tiap-tiap kota di Yehuda ia membuat bukit-bukit pengorbanan untuk membakar korban bagi allah lain. Dengan demikian ia menyakiti hati TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangnya. 26Selebihnya dari riwayatnya dan seluruh tingkah langkahnya, dari awal sampai akhir, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab raja-raja Yehuda dan Israel. 27Kemudian Ahas mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan dikuburkan di dalam kota, di Yerusalem; tetapi ia tidak dibawa ke pekuburan raja-raja Israel. Maka Hizkia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
22Now during the time of his distress, this same King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD. 23For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus who had defeated him, and said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them so that they may help me.” But they became the downfall of him and all Israel. 24Moreover, when Ahaz gathered together the utensils of the house of God, he cut the utensils of the house of God in pieces; and he closed the doors of the house of the LORD, and made altars for himself in every corner of Jerusalem. 25In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers, to anger. 26Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 27So Ahaz lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, for they did not bring him to the tombs of the kings of Israel; and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
