Anden Krønikebog 22
1 Derpå 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. Således blev Ahazja, Jorams Søn, Konge i Juda.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem cause his youngest son Ahaziah to reign in his stead (for the troop had slain all the chiefly that came in with the Arabians to the camp), and Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigns.
2 Ahazja var to og fyrretyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede eet År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Atalja og var Datter af Omri.
Ahaziah [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah daughter of Omri;
3 Også han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Spor, thi hans Moder forledte ham til Ugudelighed ved sine Råd.
he has also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother has been his counselor to do wickedly.
4 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom Akabs Hus, thi efter Faderens Død blev de hans Rådgivere, og det blev hans Fordærv.
And he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counselors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.
5 Det var også efter deres Råd, han sammen med Akabs Søn, Kong Joram af Israel, drog i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne sårede Joram.
Also, he has walked in their counsel, and goes with Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel, to battle against Hazael king of Aram in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah strike Joram;
6 Så vendte Joram tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Sår, 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 lå syg.
and he turns back to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds with which they had struck him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, has gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he [is] sick;
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.
and to come to Joram has been from God [for] the destruction of Ahaziah; and in his coming he has gone out with Jehoram to Jehu son of Nimshi, whom YHWH anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8 Og da Jehu fuldbyrdede Dommen over Akabs Hus, traf han på Judas Øverster og Ahazjas Brodersønner, der var i Ahazjas Tjeneste, og dræbte dem;
And it comes to pass, in Jehu’s executing judgment with the house of Ahab, that he finds the heads of Judah and sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slays them.
9 derpå lod han Ahazja eftersøge, og man fangede ham, medens han holdt sig skjult i Samaria, ogbragte ham til Jehu, der lod ham dræbe. Så 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 seeks Ahaziah, and they capture him (and he is hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him to Jehu, and put him to death, and bury him, for they said, “He [is] son of Jehoshaphat, who sought YHWH with all his heart”; and there is none of the house of Ahaziah to retain power 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.
And Athaliah mother of Ahaziah has seen that her son is dead, and she rises and destroys the whole seed of the kingdom of the house of Judah.
11 Men Kongens Datter Josjab'at tog Ahazjas Søn Joas og fik ham hemmeligt af Vejen, så han ikke var imellem Kongesønnerne, der blev dræbt, og hun gemte ham og hans Amme i Sengekammeret. Således holdt Josjab'at, Kong Jorams Datter, Præsten Jojadas Hustru, der jo var Søster til Ahazja, ham skjult for Atalja, så hun ikke fik ham dræbt;
And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king takes Joash son of Ahaziah, and steals him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and puts him and his nurse into the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she has been sister of Ahaziah, hides him from the face of Athaliah, and she has not put him to death.
12 og han var i seks År skjult hos dem i HERRENs Hus, medens Atalja herskede i Landet.
And he is with them in the house of God hiding himself [for] six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.
