3. Krallar 15

¹Nabat oğlu Yeroboam'ın krallığının on sekizinci yılında, Roboam oğlu Aviyu Yahuda üzerinde kral olur.

²Ve Yeruşalim'de üç yıl krallık yaptı; annesinin adı Abessalom'un kızı Maaka'ydı.

³Ve babasının kendi huzurunda işlemiş olduğu günahlarda yürüdü; yüreği, babasının yüreği gibi Tanrısı Rab'be tamamen adanmış değildi.

⁴Ancak Davut'un hatırı için Rab ona bir soy bakiye verdi; öyle ki, kendisinden sonra çocuklarını tahta diksin ve Yeruşalim'i ayakta tutsun.

⁵Çünkü Davut Rab'bin gözünde doğru olanı yaptı ve ömrünün bütün günleri boyunca O'nun kendisine buyurduğu hiçbir şeyden sapmadı.

⁷Aviyu'nun yaptığı diğer her şey ve bütün işleri Yahuda krallarının günlük tarihler kitabında yazılı değil midir? Ve Aviyu ile Yeroboam arasında savaş vardı.

⁸Ve Aviyu, Yeroboam'ın yirmi dördüncü yılında atalarıyla birlikte uykuya daldı ve Davut'un kentinde atalarının yanına gömülür; yerine oğlu Asa kral olur.

⁹İsrail Kralı Yeroboam'ın yirmi dördüncü yılında Asa, Yahuda üzerinde kral olur.

¹⁰Ve Yeruşalim'de kırk bir yıl krallık yaptı; annesinin adı Abessalom'un kızı Ana'ydı.

¹¹Ve Asa, babası Davut gibi, Rab'bin gözünde doğru olanı yaptı.

¹²Ve ülkeden gizemli pagan ayinlerini uzaklaştırdı ve atalarının yapmış olduğu bütün putperest uygulamaları kaldırdı.

¹³Kendi koruluğunda bir pagan meclisi düzenlediği için annesi Ana'yı kraliçelik makamından indirdi; Asa onun gizli sığınaklarını kesip yıktı ve Kidron Vadisi'nde ateşte yaktı.

¹⁴Fakat yüksek tapınma tepelerini kaldırmadı; yine de Asa'nın yüreği ömrü boyunca Rab'be tamamen adanmıştı.

¹⁵Ve babasının adak sütunlarını ve kendi sütunlarını, gümüş ve altın olanları ve kapları Rab'bin tapınağına getirdi.

¹⁶Ve Asa ile İsrail Kralı Baaşa arasında yaşadıkları bütün günler boyunca savaş vardı.

¹⁷Ve İsrail Kralı Baaşa, Yahuda'ya karşı sefere çıktı ve Yahuda Kralı Asa'nın yanına kimsenin girip çıkmasını engellemek için Rama'yı inşa etti.

¹⁸Bunun üzerine Asa, Rab'bin tapınağının hazinelerinde ve kral sarayının hazinelerinde bulunan bütün gümüş ve altını alıp görevlilerinin ellerine teslim etti; Kral Asa onları Şam'da oturan Suriye Kralı Azin oğlu Taberemman oğlu Ader'in oğluna şu haberle gönderdi:

¹⁹"Benimle senin aranda ve babamla senin baban arasında olduğu gibi bir antlaşma yapalım; işte sana gümüş ve altından armağanlar gönderdim; gel, İsrail Kralı Baaşa ile yaptığın antlaşmayı boz ki, üzerimden çekilsin."

²⁰Ve Ader'in oğlu, Kral Asa'nın sözünü dinleyerek ordularının komutanlarını İsrail kentlerinin üzerine gönderdi; Ain'i, Dan'ı, Abel-Maaka'yı, bütün Kinneret'i ve Naftali ülkesinin tamamına kadar olan bölgeyi vurdular.

²¹Ve Baaşa bunu duyunca Rama'yı inşa etmeyi bıraktı ve Tersa'ya döndü.

²²Ve Kral Asa bütün Yahuda'ya, Ainakim'e kadar buyruk saldı; Baaşa'nın Rama'yı inşa etmekte kullandığı taşları ve keresteleri taşıdılar; Kral Asa bunlarla bütün Benyamin Tepesi'ni ve gözcü kulesini inşa etti.

²³Ve Asa'nın yaptığı diğer her şey, bütün yiğitlikleri ve inşa ettiği kentler Yahuda krallarının günlük tarihler kitabında yazılı değil midir? Ancak yaşlılığında ayakları ona büyük acı verdi.

²⁴Ve Asa atalarıyla birlikte uykuya daldı ve babası Davut'un kentinde atalarının yanına gömülür; yerine oğlu Yehoşafat kral olur.

²⁵Ve Yeroboam oğlu Nadab, Yahuda Kralı Asa'nın ikinci yılında İsrail üzerinde kral olur ve İsrail'de iki yıl krallık yaptı.

²⁶Ve Rab'bin gözünde kötü olanı yaptı; babasının yolunda ve İsrail'e işlettiği günahlarda yürüdü.

²⁷Ve Belaan ailesinden Ahiya oğlu Baaşa ona karşı bir kuşatma düzenledi ve onu Filistlilerin Gabaton kentinde vurdu; çünkü Nadab ve bütün İsrail Gabaton'u kuşatıyordu.

²⁸Ve Baaşa onu Yahuda Kralı Aviyu oğlu Asa'nın üçüncü yılında öldürdü ve onun yerine kral oldu.

²⁹Ve kral olur olmaz Yeroboam'ın bütün soyunu vurdu; Rab'bin, kulu Şilolu Ahiya aracılığıyla söylediği söz uyarınca, Yeroboam soyundan nefes alan tek bir kişiyi bile sağ bırakmayıp hepsini tamamen yok etti.

³⁰Bu, Yeroboam'ın işlediği ve İsrail'e de işlettiği günahlar yüzünden ve İsrail'in Tanrısı Rab'bi öfkelendirdiği için oldu.

³¹Ve Nadab'ın yaptığı diğer her şey ve bütün işleri İsrail krallarının günlük tarihler kitabında yazılı değil midir?

³²Ve Asa ile İsrail Kralı Baaşa arasında yaşadıkları bütün günler boyunca savaş vardı.

³³Yahuda Kralı Asa'nın üçüncü yılında, Ahiya oğlu Baaşa Tersa'da bütün İsrail'in kralı oldu ve yirmi dört yıl krallık yaptı.

³⁴Ve Rab'bin gözünde kötü olanı yaptı; Nabat oğlu Yeroboam'ın yolunda ve İsrail'e işlettiği günahlarda yürüdü.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐν τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει βασιλεύοντος ῾Ιεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ, βασιλεύει ᾿Αβιοὺ υἱὸς Ῥοβοὰμ ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν.

²καὶ τρία ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Μααχά, θυγάτηρ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ,

³καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, αἷς ἐποίησεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἡ καρδία τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

⁴ὅτι διὰ Δαυὶδ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Κύριος κατάλειμμα, ἵνα στήσῃ τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ στήσῃ τὴν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ,

⁵ὡς ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπὸ πάντων, ὧν ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ, πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ.

⁰6

⁷καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων ᾿Αβιοὺ τὰ πάντα, ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ιούδα; καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀνὰ μέσον ᾿Αβιοὺ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ῾Ιεροβοάμ.

⁸καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Αβιοὺ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ εἰκοστῷ καὶ τετάρτῳ ἔτει τοῦ ῾Ιεροβοὰμ καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, καὶ βασιλεύει ᾿Ασὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

⁹᾿Εν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τετάρτῳ καὶ εἰκοστῷ τοῦ ῾Ιεροβοὰμ βασιλέως ᾿Ισραὴλ βασιλεύει ᾿Ασὰ ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν

¹⁰καὶ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἓν ἔτος ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ᾿Ανὰ θυγάτηρ ᾿Αβεσσαλώμ.

¹¹καὶ ἐποίησεν ᾿Ασὰ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.

¹²καὶ ἀφεῖλε τὰς τελετὰς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε πάντα τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα, ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτοῦ.

¹³καὶ τὴν ᾿Ανὰ τὴν μητέρα ἑαυτοῦ μετέστησε τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἡγουμένην, καθὼς ἐποίησε σύνοδον ἐν τῷ ἄλσει αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξέκοψεν ᾿Ασὰ τὰς καταδύσεις αὐτῆς καὶ ἐνέπρησε πυρὶ ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ Κέδρων.

¹⁴τὰ δὲ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἐξῇρε· πλὴν ἡ καρδία ᾿Ασὰ ἦν τελεία μετὰ Κυρίου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ.

¹⁵καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τοὺς κίονας τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς κίονας αὐτοῦ εἰσήνεγκεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου, ἀργυροῦς καὶ χρυσοῦς καὶ σκεύη.

¹⁶καὶ πόλεμος ἦν ἀνὰ μέσον ᾿Ασὰ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Βαασὰ βασιλέως ᾿Ισραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν.

¹⁷καὶ ἀνέβη Βαασὰ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Ῥαμὰ τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἐκπορευόμενον καὶ εἰσπορευόμενον τῷ ᾿Ασὰ βασιλεῖ ᾿Ιούδα.

¹⁸καὶ ἔλαβεν ᾿Ασὰ σύμπαν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ εἰς χεῖρας παίδων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ασὰ πρὸς υἱὸν ῎Αδερ υἱὸν Ταβερεμμὰν υἱοῦ ᾿Αζὶν βασιλέως Συρίας τοῦ κατοικοῦντος ἐν Δαμασκῷ λέγων·

¹⁹διάθου διαθήκην ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ τοῦ πατρός σου· ἰδοὺ ἐξαπέσταλκά σοι δῶρα ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον, δεῦρο διασκέδασον τὴν διαθήκην σου τὴν πρὸς Βαασὰ βασιλέα ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀναβήσεται ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ.

²⁰καὶ ἤκουσεν υἱὸς ῎Αδερ τοῦ βασιλέως ᾿Ασὰ καὶ ἀπέστειλε τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν δυνάμεων αὐτοῦ ταῖς πόλεσι τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν ᾿Αΐν, τὴν Δὰν καὶ τὴν ᾿Αβελμαὰ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν Χεννερὲθ ἕως πάσης τῆς γῆς Νεφθαλί.

²¹καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσε Βαασά, καὶ διέλιπε τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν τὴν Ῥαμὰ καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν εἰς Θερσά.

²²καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ασὰ παρήγγειλε παντὶ ᾿Ιούδα εἰς Αἰνακίμ, καὶ αἴρουσι τοὺς λίθους τῆς Ῥαμὰ καὶ τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς, ἃ ᾠκοδόμησε Βαασά, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ασὰ πᾶν βουνὸν Βενιαμὶν καὶ τὴν σκοπιάν.

²³καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων ᾿Ασὰ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἐποίησε, καὶ τὰς πόλεις, ἃς ᾠκοδόμησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐστὶν ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ιούδα; πλὴν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τοῦ γήρως αὐτοῦ ἐπόνεσε τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.

²⁴καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Ασὰ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ βασιλεύει ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

²⁵Καὶ Ναδὰβ υἱὸς ῾Ιεροβοὰμ βασιλεύει ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τοῦ ᾿Ασὰ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἔτη δύο.

²⁶καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ, αἷς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ.

²⁷καὶ περιεκάθισεν αὐτὸν Βαασὰ υἱὸς ᾿Αχιὰ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Βελαὰν καὶ ἐχάραξεν αὐτὸν ἐν Γαβαθὼν τῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ Ναδὰβ καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ περιεκάθητο ἐπὶ Γαβαθών.

²⁸καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν Βαασὰ ἐν ἔτει τρίτῳ τοῦ ᾿Ασὰ υἱοῦ ᾿Αβιοὺ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

²⁹καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐβασίλευσε, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον ῾Ιεροβοὰμ καὶ οὐχ ὑπελίπετο πᾶσαν πνοὴν τοῦ ῾Ιεροβοὰμ ἕως τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ ᾿Αχιὰ τοῦ Σηλωνίτου

³⁰περὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ῾Ιεροβοάμ, ὡς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἐν τῷ παροργισμῷ αὐτοῦ, ᾧ παρώργισε τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.

³¹καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ναδὰβ καὶ πάντα, ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐστὶν ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ᾿Ισραήλ; [32 καὶ πόλεμος ἦν μεταξὺ Ἄσα καὶ Βαασὰ βασιλέως ᾿Ισραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν.]

³³Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τρίτῳ τοῦ ᾿Ασὰ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα βασιλεύει Βαασὰ υἱὸς ᾿Αχιὰ ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν Θερσὰ εἴκοσι καὶ τέσσαρα ἔτη.

³⁴καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ ῾Ιεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.

¹And in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Juda.

²And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother’s name [was] Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.

³And he walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].

⁴Howbeit for David’s sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.

⁵Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.

⁰6

⁷And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiu and Jeroboam.

⁸And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam; and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son reigns in his stead.

⁹In the four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins to reign over Juda.

¹⁰And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name [was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.

¹¹And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.

¹²And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.

¹³And he removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt them with fire in the brook of Kedron.

¹⁴But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days.

¹⁵And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his gold and silver pillars into the house of the Lord, and [his] vessels.

¹⁶And there was war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel all their days.

¹⁷And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so that no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Juda.

¹⁸And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

¹⁹Make a covenant between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: lo! I have sent forth to thee gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from me.

²⁰And the son of Ader hearkened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they smote Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.

²¹And it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.

²²And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.

²³And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

²⁴And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Josaphat his son reigns in his stead.

²⁵And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned two years in Israel.

²⁶And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.

²⁷And Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan, conspired against him, and smote him in Gabathon of the Philistines; for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.

²⁸And Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa son of Abiu king of Juda; and reigned in his stead.

²⁹And it came to pass when he reigned, that he smote the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Achia the Selonite,

³⁰for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.

³¹And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³²[See Appendix ]

³³And in the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Achia begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and four years.

³⁴And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.
