2. Tarihler 22

¹Yeruşalim sakinleri, onun yerine en küçük oğlu Ohozias'ı kral yaptılar; çünkü üzerlerine saldıran haydutlar çetesi, yani Araplar ve Alimazonlular, bütün büyükleri öldürmüştü. Böylece Yahuda Kralı Yoram'ın oğlu Ohozias kral oldu.

²Ohozias yirmi yaşında kral oldu ve Yeruşalim'de bir yıl krallık yaptı. Annesinin adı Omri'nin kızı Gotolya idi.

³O da Ahab ailesinin yolunda yürüdü; çünkü annesi, günah işlemesi için onun akıl hocasıydı.

⁴Ahab ailesi gibi o da Rab'bin gözünde kötü olanı yaptı; çünkü babasının ölümünden sonra, onu mahvetmek üzere kendisine akıl hocalığı yapanlar onlardı.

⁵Onların öğütlerine uyarak yürüdü ve Suriye Kralı Hazael'e karşı savaşmak üzere İsrail Kralı Ahab oğlu Yoram ile birlikte Gilead'daki Ramot'a gitti. Okçular Yoram'ı yaraladı.

⁶Yoram, Suriye Kralı Hazael ile savaşırken Ramot'ta Suriyelilerin kendisinde açtığı yaraların iyileşmesi için Yizreel'e döndü. Yahuda Kralı Yoram oğlu Ohozias da hasta olduğu için Ahab oğlu Yoram'ı görmek üzere Yizreel'e gitti.

⁷Ohozias'ın Yoram'ın yanına gitmesi, Tanrı'dan gelen bir yıkım oldu. Oraya vardığında, Ahab ailesini yok etmek üzere Rab'bin meshettiği Nimşi oğlu Yehu'ya karşı Yoram ile birlikte yola çıktı.

⁸Yehu, Ahab ailesinden öç alırken, Yahuda önderlerini ve Ohozias'a hizmet eden Ohozias'ın kardeşlerini bulup öldürdü.

⁹Sonra Ohozias'ın aranmasını buyurdu; onu Samiriye'de tedavi edilirken yakalayıp Yehu'ya getirdiler ve onu öldürdüler. Sonra onu gömdüler; çünkü "O, bütün yüreğiyle Rab'be yönelen Yehoşafat'ın torunudur" dediler. Böylece Ohozias'ın ailesinde krallığı elinde tutacak güçte kimse kalmadı.

¹⁰Ohozias'ın annesi Gotolya, oğlunun öldüğünü görünce harekete geçti ve Yahuda ailesindeki bütün krallık soyunu yok etti.

¹¹Ama kralın kızı Yoşabet, öldürülmekte olan kral oğullarının arasından Ohozias'ın oğlu Yoaş'ı kaçırdı; onu ve dadısını yatak odasına gizledi. Kral Yoram'ın kızı, Ohozias'ın kız kardeşi ve Kâhin Yehoyada'nın karısı olan Yoşabet, çocuğu Gotolya'nın huzurundan gizlediği için Gotolya onu öldüremedi.

¹²Çocuk, Gotolya'nın ülkeyi yönettiği altı yıl boyunca onlarla birlikte Tanrı'nın Tapınağı'nda gizlenmiş olarak kaldı.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐβασίλευσαν οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τὸν ᾿Οχοζίαν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μικρὸν ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους ἀπέκτεινε τὸ ἐπελθὸν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς λῃστήριον, οἱ ῎Αραβες καὶ οἱ ᾿Αλιμοζονεῖς· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Οχοζίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωρὰμ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα.

²ὢν ἐτῶν εἴκοσιν ᾿Οχοζίας ἐβασίλευσε καὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Γοθολία θυγάτηρ ᾿Αμβρί.

³καὶ οὗτος ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ οἴκου ᾿Αχαάβ, ὅτι μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἦν σύμβουλος τοῦ ἁμαρτάνειν·

⁴καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου ὡς οἶκος ᾿Αχαάβ, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ σύμβουλοι μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτόν,

⁵καὶ ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς αὐτῶν ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετὰ ᾿Ιωρὰμ υἱοῦ ᾿Αχαὰβ βασιλέως ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ ᾿Αζαὴλ βασιλέα Συρίας εἰς Ῥαμὼθ Γαλαάδ· καὶ ἐπάταξαν οἱ τοξόται τὸν ᾿Ιωράμ.

⁶καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ᾿Ιωρὰμ τοῦ ἰατρευθῆναι εἰς ᾿Ιεζράελ ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν, ὧν ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν οἱ Σύροι ἐν Ῥαμὼθ ἐν τῷ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν πρὸς ᾿Αζαὴλ βασιλέα Συρίας· καὶ ᾿Οχοζίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιωρὰμ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα κατέβη θεάσασθαι τὸν ᾿Ιωρὰμ υἱὸν ᾿Αχαὰβ εἰς ᾿Ιεζράελ, ὅτι ἠρρώστει.

⁷καὶ παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐγένετο καταστροφὴ ᾿Οχοζίᾳ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ᾿Ιωράμ· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐξῆλθε μετ’ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιωρὰμ πρὸς ᾿Ιοὺ υἱὸν Ναμεσσεΐ χριστὸν Κυρίου εἰς τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αχαάβ.

⁸καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξεδίκησεν ᾿Ιοὺ τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αχαάβ, καὶ εὗρε τοὺς ἄρχοντας ᾿Ιούδα καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ᾿Οχοζίου λειτουργοῦντας τῷ ᾿Οχοζίᾳ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτούς.

⁹καὶ εἶπε τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν ᾿Οχοζίαν, καὶ κατέλαβον αὐτὸν ἰατρευόμενον ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς ᾿Ιού, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτόν, ὅτι εἶπαν· υἱὸς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ ἐστιν, ὃς ἐζήτησε τὸν Κύριον ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ. καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν οἴκῳ ᾿Οχοζίᾳ κατισχῦσαι δύναμιν περὶ τῆς βασιλείας.

¹⁰Καὶ Γοθολία ἡ μήτηρ ᾿Οχοζίου εἶδεν ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ἠγέρθη καὶ ἀπώλεσε πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα τῆς βασιλείας ἐν οἴκῳ ᾿Ιούδα.

¹¹καὶ ἔλαβεν ᾿Ιωσαβὲθ θυγάτηρ τοῦ βασιλέως τὸν ᾿Ιωὰς υἱὸν ᾿Οχοζίου καὶ ἔκλεψεν αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου υἱῶν τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν θανατουμένων καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν τροφὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς ταμιεῖον τῶν κλινῶν· καὶ ἔκρυψεν αὐτὸν ᾿Ιωσαβὲθ θυγάτηρ τοῦ βασιλέως ᾿Ιωράμ, ἀδελφὴ ᾿Οχοζίου, γυνὴ ᾿Ιωδαὲ τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ ἔκρυψεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς Γοθολίας, καὶ οὐκ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτόν.

¹²καὶ ἦν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ κατακεκρυμμένος ἓξ ἔτη, καὶ Γοθολία ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

¹And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of robbers that came against them, even the Arabians and the Alimazonians, had slain all the elder ones. So Ochozias son of Joram king of Juda reigned.

²Ochozias began to reign when he was twenty years old, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Gotholia, the daughter of Ambri.

³And he walked in the way of the house of Achaab; for his mother was his counsellor to do evil.

⁴And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord as the house of Achaab [had done]: for they were his counselors after the death of his father to his destruction.

⁵And he walked in their counsels, and he went with Joram son of Achaab king of Israel to war against Azael king of Syria to Ramoth Galaad: and the archers smote Joram.

⁶And Joram returned to Jezrael to be healed of the wounds wherewith the Syrians smote him in Ramoth, when he fought against Azael king of Syria. And Ochozias son of Joram, king of Juda, went down to see Joram the son of Achaab at Jezrael because he was sick.

⁷And destruction from God came upon Ochozias in [his] coming to Joram; for when he had come, Joram went out with him against Jeu the son of Namessei, the anointed of the Lord against the house of Achaab.

⁸And it came to pass, when Jeu was taking vengeance on the house of Achaab, that he found the princes of Juda and the brethren of Ochozias ministering to Ochozias, and he slew them.

⁹And he gave orders to seek Ochozias: and they took him while he was healing his wounds in Samaria, and they brought him to Jeu, and he slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Josaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart. So there was none in the house of Ochozias to secure their power in the kingdom.

¹⁰And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she arose and destroyed all the seed royal in the house of Juda.

¹¹But Josabeeth, the daughter of the king, took Joas the son of Ochozias and rescued him secretly out of the midst of the sons of the king that were put to death, and she placed him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Josabeeth daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, wife of Jodae the priest, hid him, and she [even] hid him from Gotholia, and she did not slay him.

¹²And he was with him hid in the house of God six years; and Gotholia reigned over the land.
