Anden Krønikebog 22
1 Derpaa gjorde Jerusalems Indbyggere hans yngste Søn Ahazja til Konge i hans Sted, thi de ældre var dræbt af Røverskaren, der brød ind i Lejren sammen med Araberne. Saaledes blev Ahazja, Jorams Søn, Konge i Juda.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king, in his stead, for, all the elder sons, had the band of men slain who came in with the Arabians into the camp, —so Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 Ahazja var to og fyrretyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede eet Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Atalja og var Datter af Omri.
Forty-two years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Athaliah, daughter of Omri.
3 Ogsaa han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Spor, thi hans Moder forledte ham til Ugudelighed ved sine Raad.
He too, walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, —for, his mother, became his counselor, to work lawlessness.
4 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, ligesom Akabs Hus, thi efter Faderens Død blev de hans Raadgivere, og det blev hans Fordærv.
Wherefore he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, they, became his counselors, after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Det var ogsaa efter deres Raad, han sammen med Akabs Søn, Kong Joram af Israel, drog i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne saarede Joram.
Even in their counsel, he walked, and went with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians smote Joram.
6 Saa vendte Joram tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Saar, man havde tilføjet ham ved Rama, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram; og Jorams Søn, Kong Ahazja af Juda, drog ned for at se til Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jizre'el, fordi han laa syg.
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel, because of the wounds wherewith they smote him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria, —and, Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because, sick, was he!
7 Men til Ahazjas Undergang var det tilskikket af Gud, at han skulde komme til Joram; thi da han var kommet derhen, gik han med Joram ud til Jehu, Nimsjis Søn, som HERREN havde salvet til at udrydde Akabs Hus.
But, from God, came the downfall of Azariah, through his coming to Joram, —and because, through his coming, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8 Og da Jehu fuldbyrdede Dommen over Akabs Hus, traf han paa Judas Øverster og Ahazjas Brodersønner, der var i Ahazjas Tjeneste, og dræbte dem;
And so it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, —and found the rulers of Judah and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah ministering to Ahaziah, that he slew them.
9 derpaa lod han Ahazja eftersøge, og man fangede ham, medens han holdt sig skjult i Samaria, og bragte ham til Jehu, der lod ham dræbe. Saa jordede de ham, thi de sagde: »Han var dog en Søn af Josafat, der søgte HERREN af hele sit Hjerte.« Men af Ahazjas Hus var ingen stærk nok til at tage Magten.
And he sought Ahaziah, and they captured him, he, having hid himself in Samaria, and they brought him unto Jehu, and he put him to death, and they buried him, because, said they, he is, the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart, —and, no one of the house of Ahaziah, had ability for the kingdom.
10 Da Atalja, Ahazjas Moder, fik at vide, at hendes Søn var død, tog hun sig for at udrydde hele den kongelige Slægt af Judas Hus.
But, when, Athaliah mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she rose up and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
11 Men Kongens Datter Josjab'at tog Ahazjas Søn Joas og fik ham hemmeligt af Vejen, saa han ikke var imellem Kongesønnerne, der blev dræbt, og hun gemte ham og hans Amme i Sengekammeret. Saaledes holdt Josjab'at, Kong Jorams Datter, Præsten Jojadas Hustru, der jo var Søster til Ahazja, ham skjult for Atalja, saa hun ikke fik ham dræbt;
But Jehoshabeath, daughter of the king, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the sons of the king who were being slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber, —so Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram—wife of Jehoiada the priest, for, she, was the sister of Ahaziah—hid him from the face of Athaliah so that she slew him not.
12 og han var i seks Aar skjult hos dem i HERRENS Hus, medens Atalja herskede i Landet.
And it came to pass that he was with them, in the house of God, hidden six years, -while, Athaliah, was reigning over the land.
