< 2 Ljetopisa 22 >

1 Jeruzalemci zakraljiše na njegovo mjesto najmlađeg mu sina, Ahazju, jer sve starije bijaše poubijala četa koja je s Arapima navalila na tabor; tako se zakraljio Ahazja, sin judejskoga kralja Jorama.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his youngest son king in his place: for the rovers of the Arabians, who had broke in upon the camp, had killed all that were his elder brothers. So Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda reigned.
2 Bile su mu četrdeset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Atalija, Omrijeva kći.
Ochozias was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri.
3 I on je išao putovima doma Ahabova, jer ga mati zlo svjetovaše.
He also walked in the ways of the house of Achab: for his mother pushed him on to do wickedly.
4 Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, kao dom Ahabov, jer mu baš oni bijahu savjetnici poslije očeve smrti, na njegovu propast.
So he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Achab did: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Po njihovu je savjetu pošao s Joramom, sinom izraelskoga kralja Ahaba, u boj na aramejskoga kralja Hazaela u Ramot Gilead. Ali su Aramejci porazili Jorama.
And he walked after their counsels. And he went with Joram the son of Achab king of Israel, to fight against Hazael king of Syria, at Ramoth Galaad: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 On se vratio da se liječi u Jizreelu od rana što mu ih zadadoše u Rami kad se borio s aramejskim kraljem Hazaelom. Joramov sin Ahazja, judejski kralj, sišao je u Jizreel da posjeti Ahabova sina Jorama jer se Joram razbolio.
And he returned to be healed in Jezrahel: for he received many wounds in the foresaid battle. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel where he lay sick.
7 Ali Bog učini da taj posjet Joramu bude na propast Ahazji. Došavši, izišao je s Joramom na Nimšijeva sina Jehua, koga je Jahve pomazao da iskorijeni Ahabovu kuću.
For it was the will of God against Ochozias that he should come to Joram: and when he was come should go out also against Jehu the son of Namsi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Achab.
8 Dok je izvršavao osvetu nad Ahabovom kućom, Jehu zateče judejske knezove i sinove Ahazjine braće koji su posluživali Ahazju i pobi ih,
So when Jehu was rooting out the house of Achab, he found the princes of Juda, and the sons of the brethren of Ochozias, who served him, and he slew them.
9 a onda krenu u potragu za Ahazjom. Uhvatili su ga dok se krio u Samariji, doveli ga k Jehuu, koji ga smaknu. Ukopali su ga, jer su rekli: “Sin je onoga Jošafata koji je tražio Jahvu svim srcem.” Tako ne ostade nitko od Ahazjine kuće koji bi imao snage da bude kralj.
And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of the race of Ochozias.
10 Zato Ahazjina mati Atalija, vidjevši gdje joj sin poginu, ustade i posmica sav kraljevski rod Judina plemena.
For Athalia his mother, seeing that her son was dead, rose up, and killed all the royal family of the house of Joram.
11 Ali kraljeva kći Jošeba uze Ahazjina sina Joaša; ukravši ga između kraljevih sinova koje su ubijali, metnu ga s dojiljom u ložnicu. Tako ga je Jošeba, kći kralja Jorama, žena svećenika Jojade, sakrila od Atalije, jer je bila Ahazjina sestra, te nije bio pogubljen.
But Josabeth the king’s daughter took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedchamber: now Josabeth that hid him, was daughter of king Joram, wife of Joiada the high priest, and sister of Ochozias, and therefore Athalia did not kill him.
12 Bio je sakriven s njima u Domu Božjem šest godina, sve dok je zemljom vladala Atalija.
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years, during which Athalia reigned over the land.
