Anden Krønikebog 22
1 Og Indbyggerne i Jerusalem gjorde Ahasia, hans yngste Søn, til Konge i hans Sted; thi den Trop, som kom med Araberne til Lejren, havde ihjelslaaet alle de første; og Ahasia, Jorams Søn, regerede søm Konge i Juda.
The people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, Jehoram's youngest son, king in succession to his father, since the invaders who had entered the camp with the Arabians had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah.
2 Ahasia var to og fyrretyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede et Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Athalia, Omris (Søns) Datter.
Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 Og han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Veje; thi hans Moder var hans Raadgiver til at handle ugudeligt.
Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him to do wicked things.
4 Og han gjorde det, som var ondt for Herrens Øjne ligesom Akabs Hus; thi de vare hans Raadgivere efter hans Faders Død til Fordærvelse for ham.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as the family of Ahab had done. For after his father's death they were his counselors, to his ruin.
5 Han vandrede ogsaa efter deres Raad og drog med Joram, Israels Konge, Akabs Søn, i Krig imod Hasael, Kongen af Syrien, imod Ramoth i Gilead; men Syrerne sloge Joram.
He also followed their advice in joining with Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, in attacking Hazael, king of Aram, in Ramoth Gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
6 Og han vendte tilbage for at lade sig læge i Jisreel af de Saar, som de havde slaget ham ved Rama, der han stred med Hasael, Kongen af Syrien; og Asaria, Jorams Søn, Judas Konge, drog ned at besøge Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jisreel, thi han laa syg.
and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
7 Og af Gud var Ahasias Undergang, saa at han kom til Joram; thi der han kom, da drog han ud med Joram imod Jehu, Nimsis Søn, som Herren havde salvet til at udrydde Akabs Hus.
Azariah's downfall came from God when he went to see Joram. When Azariah got there, he went with Joram to meet Jehu, son of Nimri. The Lord had anointed Jehu to destroy Ahab and his family.
8 Og det skete, da Dommen udførtes af Jehu imod Akabs Hus, da traf han de Øverste af Juda og Ahasias Brodersønner, som tjente Ahasia, og slog dem ihjel.
While Jehu was carrying out judgment on the family of Ahab, he came across the leaders of Judah and Azariah's relatives who were assisting Ahaziah, and he killed them.
9 Siden ledte han efter Ahasia, og de grebe ham, da han havde skjult sig i Samaria, og de førte ham til Jehu og dræbte ham og begrove ham; thi de sagde: Han er en Søn af Josafat, som søgte Herren af sit ganske Hjerte; og der var ingen af Ahasias Hus, som formaaede at overtage Riget.
Then Jehu went looking for Ahaziah. His men found him in Samaria and captured him, and took him to Jehu where they killed him. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who was completely committed to following the Lord.” There was no one left from Ahaziah's family to rule the kingdom.
10 Der Athalia, Ahasias Moder, saa, at hendes Søn var død, da gjorde hun sig rede og udryddede hele den kongelige Slægt i Judas Hus.
When Athaliah Ahaziah's mother found out that her son was dead, she proceeded to kill all who remained of the royal family of Judah.
11 Men Josabeath, Kongens Datter, tog Joas, Ahasias Søn, og stjal ham midt ud fra Kongens Sønner, som bleve dræbte, og satte ham med sin Amme i Sengekammeret; og Josabeath, Kong Jorams Datter, Præsten Jojadas Hustru, skjulte ham (thi hun var Ahasias Søster) for Athalias Ansigt, saa at hun ikke fik ham dræbt.
But Jehoshabeath, daughter of King Jehoram, grabbed Joash, son of Ahaziah, and took him from the sons of the king who were about to be killed, and she placed him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah's sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so she couldn't kill him.
12 Og han var skjult hos dem i Guds Hus seks Aar; men Athalia var Dronning i Landet.
And they kept Joash hidden with them in God's Temple for six years while Athaliah ruled the country.
