Axasyaah, Boqorkii Yahuudah

22 Markaasaa dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa waxay meeshiisii boqor kaga dhigteen Axasyaah oo ahaa wiilkiisii ugu wada yaraa, maxaa yeelay, guutadii ragga ahayd oo reer Carbeed xerada la timid way wada laayeen kuwii waaweynaa oo dhan. Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa boqor noqday Axasyaah ina Yehooraam oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah. Axasyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray laba iyo afartan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna sannad ayuu boqor ku ahaa, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Catalyaah ina Coomrii. Oo isaguna wuxuu ku socday jidadkii reerka Axaab maray, waayo, hooyadiis waxay kula talin jirtay inuu shar sameeyo. Oo wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah, sidii reerka Axaab yeeli jiray oo kale, waayo, markii aabbihiis dhintay ka dib iyagaa ahaan jiray lataliyayaashiisii ilaa uu baabba'ay. Oo weliba wuxuu ku socon jiray taladoodii, wuuna raacay Yehooraam ina Axaab oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil inay Xasaa'eel oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya kula diriraan Raamod Gilecaad, oo reer Suuriyana Yooraam bay dhaawaceen. Markaasuu ku noqday Yesreceel in lagu soo daweeyo nabrihii ay Raamaah kaga dhufteen markuu la diriray Xasaa'eel oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya. Markaasaa Axasyaah ina Yehooraam oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah tegey inuu soo arko Yehooraam ina Axaab oo joogay Yesreceel, maxaa yeelay, dhaawac buu ahaa.

Haddaba Axasyaah baabbi'iisii wuxuu ka yimid xag Ilaah, markuu Yooraam u tegey, maxaa yeelay, markuu yimid ayuu Yehooraam kula kacay Yeehuu ina Nimshii kaasoo Rabbigu u subkay inuu baabbi'iyo reerka Axaab. Oo kolkii Yeehuu xukunka ku soo dejinayay reerkii Axaab wuxuu helay amiirradii dalka Yahuudah iyo Axasyaah walaalihiis wiilashii ay dhaleen oo Axasyaah u adeegaya, markaasuu iyagii laayay. Kolkaasuu doondoonay Axasyaah (oo Samaariya ku dhex dhuumanayay), waana la soo qabtay oo waxaa loo keenay Yeehuu, waana la dilay, oo isagii waa la aasay, waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, Isaga waxaa dhalay Yehooshaafaad oo Rabbiga ku doondooni jiray qalbigiisa oo dhan. Oo Axasyaah reerkiisiina ma uu lahayn xoog uu boqortooyada ku sii haysto.

Catalyaah Iyo Yoo'aash

10 Haddaba Catalyaah oo ahayd Axasyaah hooyadiis markay aragtay in wiilkeedii dhintay ayay kacday oo wada baabbi'isay farcankii reer boqor ee Yahuudah oo dhan. 11 Laakiinse Yehooshabecad oo ahayd boqorka gabadhiisii waxay la tagtay Yoo'aash oo ahaa ina Axasyaah, oo ka dhex xadday wiilashii boqorka ee la laayay isagii iyo tii xannaanayn jirtayba, oo waxay gelisay qolka la seexdo. Haddaba Yehooshabecad oo ahayd Boqor Yehooraam gabadhiis, oo u dhaxday wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac la odhan jiray waxay isagii ka qarisay Catalyaah si ayan isaga u dilin (maxaa yeelay, iyadu waxay ahayd Axasyaah walaashiis). 12 Oo intii lix sannadood ah ayuu kula qarsoonaa guriga Ilaah, oo dalkiina waxaa u talisay Catalyaah.

Ahaziah King of Judah(A)(B)

22 The people(C) of Jerusalem(D) made Ahaziah, Jehoram’s youngest son, king in his place, since the raiders,(E) who came with the Arabs into the camp, had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

Ahaziah was twenty-two[a] years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.

He too followed(F) the ways of the house of Ahab,(G) for his mother encouraged him to act wickedly. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done, for after his father’s death they became his advisers, to his undoing. He also followed their counsel when he went with Joram[b] son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead.(H) The Arameans wounded Joram; so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramoth[c] in his battle with Hazael(I) king of Aram.

Then Ahaziah[d] son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to see Joram son of Ahab because he had been wounded.

Through Ahaziah’s(J) visit to Joram, God brought about Ahaziah’s downfall. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab. While Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab,(K) he found the officials of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives, who had been attending Ahaziah, and he killed them. He then went in search of Ahaziah, and his men captured him while he was hiding(L) in Samaria. He was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He was a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought(M) the Lord with all his heart.” So there was no one in the house of Ahaziah powerful enough to retain the kingdom.

Athaliah and Joash(N)

10 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah. 11 But Jehosheba,[e] the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes who were about to be murdered and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehosheba,[f] the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of the priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child from Athaliah so she could not kill him. 12 He remained hidden with them at the temple of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
