2 Chronicles 22
1 And the inhabitants of Ierusalem made Ahaziah his yongest sonne King in his steade: for the armie that came with the Arabians to the campe, had slayne all the eldest: therefore Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah reigned.
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.
2 Two and fourtie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yeere in Ierusalem. and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
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.
3 He walked also in the wayes of the house of Ahab: for his mother counselled him to doe wickedly.
Ogsaa han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Spor, thi hans Moder forledte ham til Ugudelighed ved sine Raad.
4 Wherefore he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellers after the death of his father, to his destruction.
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.
5 And he walked after their counsel, and went with Iehoram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Aramites smote Ioram.
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.
6 And he returned to be healed in Izreel, because of the woundes wherewith they had wounded him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael King of Aram. Nowe Azariah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Iehoram the sonne of Ahab at Izreel, because hee was diseased.
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.
7 And the destruction of Ahaziah came of God in that he went to Ioram: for when he was come, he went forth with Iehoram against Iehu the sonne of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
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.
8 Therefore when Iehu executed iudgement vpon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Iudah and the sonnes of the brethren of Ahaziah that waited on Ahaziah, he slew them also.
Og da Jehu fuldbyrdede Dommen over Akabs Hus, traf han paa Judas Øverster og Ahazjas Brodersønner, der var i Ahazjas Tjeneste, og dræbte dem;
9 And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him where he was hid in Samaria, and brought him to Iehu, and slewe him, and buryed him, because, sayd they, he is the sonne of Iehoshaphat, which sought the Lord with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah was not able to reteine the kingdome.
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.
10 Therefore when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah sawe that her sonne was dead, shee arose and destroyed all the Kings seede of the house of Iudah.
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.
11 But Iehoshabeath the daughter of ye King, tooke Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah, and stale him from among the Kings sonnes, that shoulde be slayne, and put him and his nource in the bed chamber: so Iehoshabeath the daughter of King Iehoram the wife of Iehoiada the Priest (for shee was the sister of Ahaziah) hid him from Athaliah: so she slew him not.
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;
12 And hee was with them hid in the house of God sixe yeeres, whiles Athaliah reigned ouer the land.
og han var i seks Aar skjult hos dem i HERRENS Hus, medens Atalja herskede i Landet.
