2 Chronicles 22
1 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.
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.
2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
Bile su mu četrdeset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Atalija, Omrijeva kći.
3 But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.
I on je išao putovima doma Ahabova, jer ga mati zlo svjetovaše.
4 And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.
Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, kao dom Ahabov, jer mu baš oni bijahu savjetnici poslije očeve smrti, na njegovu propast.
5 And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
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.
6 And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.
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.
7 Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
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.
8 Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.
Dok je izvršavao osvetu nad Ahabovom kućom, Jehu zateče judejske knezove i sinove Ahazjine braće koji su posluživali Ahazju i pobi ih,
9 Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.
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.
10 For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.
Zato Ahazjina mati Atalija, vidjevši gdje joj sin poginu, ustade i posmica sav kraljevski rod Judina plemena.
11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.
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.
12 Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Bio je sakriven s njima u Domu Božjem šest godina, sve dok je zemljom vladala Atalija.
