2 Chronicles 22

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.	1 Και εκαμον οι κατοικοι της Ιερουσαλημ αντ' αυτου βασιλεα Οχοζιαν τον νεωτερον αυτου υιον? διοτι παντας τους πρεσβυτερους εθανατωσαν τα ταγματα τα επελθοντα μετα των Αραβων εις το στρατοπεδον. Και εβασιλευσεν Οχοζιας ο υιος του Ιωραμ βασιλεως του Ιουδα.
2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.	2 Τεσσαρακοντα δυο ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Οχοζιας οτε εβασιλευσεν, εβασιλευσε δε εν ετος εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Γοθολια, θυγατηρ του Αμρι.
3 But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.	3 Και αυτος περιεπατησεν εν ταις οδοις του οικου Αχααβ? διοτι η μητηρ αυτου ητο συμβουλος αυτου εις το αμαρτανειν.
4 And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.	4 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, καθως ο οικος Αχααβ? διοτι μετα τον θανατον του πατρος αυτου, αυτοι ησαν οι συμβουλοι αυτου δια τον αφανισμον αυτου.
5 And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.	5 Και δια των συμβουλων αυτων υπηγε μετα του Ιωραμ υιου του Αχααβ βασιλεως του Ισραηλ, εις πολεμον εναντιον του Αζαηλ βασιλεως της Συριας εις Ραμωθ-γαλααδ? και επαταξαν οι Συριοι τον Ιωραμ.
6 And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.	6 Και επεστρεψε δια να ιατρευθη εις Ιεζραελ, εξ αιτιας των πληγων τας οποιας ελαβεν εν Ραμα, οτε επολεμει κατα του Αζαηλ βασιλεως της Συριας. Και κατεβη Αζαριας ο υιος του Ιωραμ, ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα, δια να ιδη Ιωραμ τον υιον του Αχααβ εις Ιεζραελ, επειδη ητο αρρωστος.
7 Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.	7 Και εσταθη παρα Θεου ολεθρος του Οχοζιου το να ελθη προς τον Ιωραμ? διοτι, οτε ηλθεν, εξηλθε μετα του Ιωραμ εναντιον Ιηου του υιου του Νιμσι, τον οποιον εχρισεν ο Κυριος δια να εξολοθρευση τον οικον Αχααβ.
8 Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.	8 Και οτε εκαμνεν ο Ιηου την εκδικησιν κατα του οικου Αχααβ, ευρων τους αρχοντας του Ιουδα και τους υιους των αδελφων του Οχοζιου, τους υπηρετουντας τον Οχοζιαν, εθανατωσεν αυτους.
9 Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.	9 Και εζητησε τον Οχοζιαν? και συνελαβον αυτον κρυπτομενον εν Σαμαρεια και εφεραν αυτον προς τον Ιηου? και εθανατωσαν αυτον και εθαψαν αυτον? διοτι ειπον, Υιος του Ιωσαφατ ειναι, οστις εξεζητησε τον Κυριον εξ ολης της καρδιας αυτου. Και ο οικος Οχοζιου δεν ειχε δυναμιν να κρατηση πλεον την βασιλειαν.
10 For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.	10 Η δε Γοθολια, η μητηρ του Οχοζιου, ιδουσα οτι ο υιος αυτης απεθανεν, εσηκωθη και εξωλοθρευσεν απαν το βασιλικον σπερμα του οικου Ιουδα.
11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.	11 Ιωσαβεεθ ομως, η θυγατηρ του βασιλεως, λαβουσα τον Ιωας υιον του Οχοζιου, εκλεψεν αυτον εκ του μεσου των υιων του βασιλεως των θανατουμενων, και εβαλεν αυτον και την τροφην αυτου εν τω ταμειω του κοιτωνος. Ουτως η Ιωσαβεεθ, η θυγατηρ του βασιλεως Ιωραμ, η γυνη Ιωδαε του ιερεως, διοτι ητο αδελφη του Οχοζιου, εκρυψεν αυτον απο προσωπου της Γοθολιας, και δεν εθανατωσεν αυτον.
12 Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.	12 Και ητο μετ' αυτων κρυπτομενος εν τω οικω του Θεου εξ ετη? η δε Γοθολια εβασιλευεν επι της γης.
