2 Chronicles 22
1 Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
Lalu penduduk Yerusalem mengangkat Ahazia, anaknya yang bungsu, menjadi raja menggantikan dia, karena semua anaknya yang lebih tua umurnya telah dibunuh oleh gerombolan yang datang ke tempat perkemahan bersama-sama orang-orang Arab. Dengan demikian Ahazia, anak Yoram raja Yehuda, menjadi raja.
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
Ahazia berumur empat puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan setahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Atalya, cucu Omri.
3 Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
Iapun hidup menurut kelakuan keluarga Ahab, karena ibunya menasihatinya untuk melakukan yang jahat.
4 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN sama seperti keluarga Ahab, sebab sesudah ayahnya mati mereka menjadi penasihat-penasihatnya yang mencelakakannya.
5 Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram;
Atas nasihat mereka pula ia pergi bersama-sama Yoram bin Ahab, raja Israel, untuk berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram, di Ramot-Gilead. Tetapi orang-orang Aram melukai Yoram.
6 so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
Kemudian pulanglah ia ke Yizreel untuk diobati oleh karena luka-luka yang didapatnya di Rama pada waktu ia berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram. Dan Ahazia, anak Yoram raja Yehuda, pergi menjenguk Yoram bin Ahab di Yizreel, karena dia sakit.
7 Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
Telah ditentukan Allah, bahwa Ahazia akan menemui ajalnya pada waktu ia mengunjungi Yoram; maka ketika Ahazia datang, pergilah ia bersama-sama Yoram mendapatkan Yehu, cucu Nimsi, yang telah diurapi TUHAN, supaya dialah yang melenyapkan keluarga Ahab.
8 So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he killed them.
Sementara Yehu melakukan penghukuman atas keluarga Ahab, ia menjumpai pembesar-pembesar Yehuda dan anak-anak saudara-saudara Ahazia, yang melayani Ahazia. Juga mereka dibunuhnya.
9 Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the kingdom.
Lalu ia mencari Ahazia; Ahazia tertangkap ketika ia bersembunyi di Samaria. Ia dibawa kepada Yehu, lalu dibunuh, tetapi dikuburkan juga, karena kata orang: "Dia ini cucu Yosafat, yang mencari TUHAN dengan segenap hatinya." Dari keluarga Ahazia tidak ada lagi yang sanggup memerintah.
10 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.
Ketika Atalya, ibu Ahazia, melihat bahwa anaknya sudah mati, maka bangkitlah ia membinasakan semua keturunan raja dari kaum Yehuda.
11 But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put 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 that she could not kill him.
Tetapi Yosabat, anak perempuan raja, mengambil Yoas bin Ahazia, menculik dia dari tengah-tengah anak-anak raja yang hendak dibunuh itu, memasukkan dia dengan inang penyusunya ke dalam gudang tempat tidur. Demikianlah Yosabat, anak perempuan raja Yoram, isteri imam Yoyada, --ia adalah saudara perempuan Ahazia--menyembunyikan dia terhadap Atalya, sehingga ia tidak dibunuh Atalya.
12 And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
Maka tinggallah Yoas enam tahun lamanya bersama-sama mereka dengan bersembunyi di rumah Allah, sementara Atalya memerintah negeri.
