2 Chronicles 22
1 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.
A meinga ana e nga tangata o Hiruharama a Ahatia tana tama whakaotinga hei kingi i muri i a ia: i patua hoki nga tuakana katoa e te taua i haere mai nei i nga Arapi ki te puni. Heoi ka kingi a Ahatia, te tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura.
2 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.
E wha tekau ma rua nga tau o Ahatia i tona kingitanga, a kotahi te tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ataria, he tamahine na Omori.
3 Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him to do wicked things.
I haere ano ia i nga ara o te whare o Ahapa: ko tona whaea hoki tona kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro mo te mahi he.
4 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.
Na mahia ana e ia te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, i pera me te whare o Ahapa. Ko ratou hoki ona kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro i muri i te matenga o tona papa, hei ngaromanga mona.
5 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,
Na haere ana ia i runga i to ratou whakaaro. I haere tahi ano raua ko Iehorama tama a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira ki te whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria, ki Ramoto Kireara; na kua tu a Iorama i nga Hiriani.
6 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.
A hoki ana ia ki Ietereere kia rongoatia nga tunga i tu ai ia ki Rama, i tana whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria. Na ko te haerenga mai o Ataria tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura kia kite i a Iehorama tama a Ahapa ki Ietereere, e mate ana hoki ia.
7 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.
Na, ko te whakangaromanga i a Ahatia, na te Atua, no tona haerenga ki a Iorama. I tona taenga hoki, ka puta raua ko Iehorama ki te tu i a Iehu tama a Nimihi, i whakawahia nei e Ihowa hei hatepe i te whare o Ahapa.
8 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.
A, i a Iehu e whakawa ana ki te whare o Ahapa, ka tutaki ia ki nga rangatira o Hura, ratou ko nga tama a nga tuakana o Ahatia, e mahi ana ki a Ahatia: na patua iho ratou e ia.
9 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.
Na ka rapua a Ahatia e ia, a ka mau i a ratou; i te piri hoki i Hamaria. Na ka kawea ki a Iehu, a whakamatea iho, tanumia iho; i ki hoki ratou, He tama ia na Iehohapata, na te tangata i whakapaua nei tona ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa. Na kore ake he kaha o te whare o Ahatia ki te pupuri i te kingitanga.
10 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.
A, no te kitenga o Ataria whaea o Ahatia, kua mate tana tama, whakatika ana ia, a whakangaromia ana e ia nga uri kingi katoa o te whare o Hura.
11 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.
Otiia tangohia ana e Iehohapeata, tamahine a te kingi, a Ioaha tama a Ahatia, he mea mau huna atu i roto i nga tama a te kingi i whakamatea ra, kawea atu ana raua ko tona kaihiki ki te whare moenga. Na huna ana ia e Iehohapeata tamahine a Kingi Iehorama, wahine a Iehoiara tohunga, he tuahine ano ia no Ahatia, te kitea e Ataria, i kore ai e whakamatea e ia.
12 And they kept Joash hidden with them in God's Temple for six years while Athaliah ruled the country.
Na i a ratou ia e huna ana i te whare o te Atua, e ono tau; na ko Ataria te kuini o te whenua.
