16–BOB
Yahudo shohi Oxoz
1 Isroil shohi Pekax hukmronlik qilayotganiga oʻn yetti yil boʻlganda, Oxoz Yahudo shohi boʻldi. Oxoz Yoʻtomning oʻgʻli edi. 2 Oxoz yigirma yoshida shoh boʻlib, Quddusda oʻn olti yil hukmronlik qildi. U bobosi Dovuddan namuna olmadi, Egasi Xudo oldida toʻgʻri ishlar qilmay, 3 Isroil shohlarining yoʻlidan ketdi. Kanʼon yurtidan Egamiz quvgan qavmlarning jirkanch odatlariga taqlid qilib, hatto oʻz oʻgʻlini qurbonlik qilib, olovda kuydirdi . 4 Sajdagohlarda , tepaliklarda va har qanday yashil daraxt ostida qurbonliklar keltirib, tutatqi tutatardi.
5 Oram shohi Ratan bilan Isroil shohi Pekax Quddusni bosib olish uchun yurish qildilar. Shaharni qamal qilib tursalar–da, Oxozni yenga olmadilar. 6 Shunda Oram shohi Ratan Elet shahrini qoʻlga kiritib, u yerdagi Yahudo xalqini haydab chiqardi. Eletga joylashgan Oram xalqi hozir ham oʻsha yerda istiqomat qiladi.
7 Oxoz Ossuriya shohi Tigʻlatpilasarga: “Men sizga qaramman , qulingizman, keling, menga hujum qilayotgan Oram va Isroil shohlarining qoʻlidan meni qutqaring”, deb elchilar joʻnatdi. 8 Egamizning uyidagi va shoh saroyining xazinalaridagi oltinu kumushlarni Ossuriya shohiga hadya qilib yubordi.
9 Ossuriya shohi Oxozning iltimosiga rozi boʻldi. Damashqqa hujum qilib, bu shaharni bosib oldi. Shahar aholisini Xirga surib chiqardi va shoh Ratanni oʻldirdi.
10 Shoh Oxoz Ossuriya shohi Tigʻlatpilasar bilan uchrashish uchun Damashqqa borganda, u yerdagi qurbongohni koʻrdi. Qurbongohning rejasini hamma ikir–chikirlarigacha chizib, tayyorlab, ruhoniy Uriyoga yubordi. 11 Shoh Oxoz Damashqdan qaytgunga qadar, ruhoniy Uriyo, u yuborganlari boʻyicha, aynan oʻshanday qurbongoh qurdi.
12 Shoh Damashqdan qaytgach, yangi qurbongohni koʻrib, uning ustida qurbonliklar keltirish uchun bordi. 13 Kuydiriladigan qurbonligini va don nazrini ado etdi, yangi qurbongoh ustiga sharob nazrini quydi, tinchlik qurbonligining qonini qurbongohga sepdi. 14 Egamizga bagʻishlangan oldingi bronza qurbongoh yangi qurbongoh bilan Egamizning uyi orasida edi. Oxoz bronza qurbongohni bir chetga — oʻzi qurgan yangi qurbongohning shimol tomoniga koʻchirtirib tashladi. 15 Soʻngra shoh Oxoz ruhoniy Uriyoga shunday farmon berdi: “Ertalabki kuydiriladigan qurbonlik bilan kechqurungi don nazrini, shohning kuydiriladigan qurbonligini va uning don nazrini, bundan tashqari, yurt xalqining kuydiriladigan qurbonligini, don nazrini va sharob nazrini mana shu katta qurbongoh ustida ado et. Kuydiriladigan qurbonlik bilan boshqa qurbonliklarning qonini shu qurbongohga sep. Kelajakda nima boʻlishi menga ayon boʻlishi uchun esa bronza qurbongohni saqla.” 16 Ruhoniy Uriyo shoh Oxozning hamma farmonini bajardi.
17-18 Shoh Oxoz Ossuriya shohini mamnun qilish uchun quyidagi ishlarni qildi: Xudoning uyidagi aravalarning yon toʻsiqlarini koʻchirtirib tashladi, bularning ustidagi togʻoralarni ham oldirdi. Bronzadan yasalgan buqalarning ustidan hovuzni olib, toshdan qilingan toʻshama ustiga joylashtirdi. Egamizning uyi ichkarisida qurilgan va Shabbat kuni shoh foydalanadigan joyni, shoh tashqaridan kiradigan yoʻlakni oldirib tashladi.
19 Oxozning boshqa ishlari “Yahudo shohlari tarixi” kitobida yozilgan. 20 Oxoz olamdan oʻtib, Dovud qalʼasida, ota–bobolari yoniga dafn etildi. Oʻrniga oʻgʻli Hizqiyo shoh boʻldi.
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. 2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father. 3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel. 4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 ¶ Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him . 6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day. 7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me. 8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria. 9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
10 ¶ And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof. 11 And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus. 12 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon. 13 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar. 14 And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar. 15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by . 16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
17 ¶ And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones. 18 And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.
19 ¶ Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
