2 Chronicles 22
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Achazyahu his youngest son king in his stead; for the predatory band that was come with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So became Achazyahu, the son of Jehoram the king of Judah, king.
Watu wa Yerusalemu wakamfanya Ahazia, mdogo wa wote wa wana wa Yerohamu, kuwa mfalme mahali pa baba yake, kwa sababu washambuliaji wa ghafula waliokuwa wameingia kambini pamoja na Waarabu, walikuwa wamewaua wana wakubwa wote wa Yehoramu. Kwa hiyo Ahazia mwana wa Yehoramu mfalme wa Yuda akaanza kutawala.
2 Forty and two years old was Achazyahu when he became king, and one year did he reign in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Athalyahu the [grand-]daughter of 'Omri.
Ahazia alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na miwili alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala katika Yerusalemu kwa mwaka mmoja. Mama yake aliitwa Athalia, mjukuu wa Omri.
3 Also he walked in the ways of the house of Achab; for his mother was his counsellor to act wickedly.
Ahazia naye akaenenda katika njia za nyumba ya Ahabu, kwa sababu mama yake alimshawishi katika kutenda maovu.
4 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord like the house of Achab; for these were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.
Akafanya yaliyo maovu machoni pa Bwana kama walivyokuwa wamefanya nyumba ya Ahabu, kwa kuwa baada ya kufa kwa baba yake nyumba ya Ahabu ndio waliokuwa washauri wake, kwa uangamivu wake.
5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Achab the king of Israel to war against Chazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-gil'ad: and the Syrians smote Joram.
Pia akafuata shauri lao alipokwenda pamoja na Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli kupigana na Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu huko Ramoth-Gileadi. Waaramu wakamjeruhi Yoramu.
6 And he returned to be healed in Yizre'el because of the wounds which had been given him at Ramah, when he fought with Chazael the king of Syria. And 'Azaryahu the son of Jehoram the king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Achab at Yizre'el, because he was sick.
Hivyo akarudi Yezreeli ili apate kuuguza majeraha aliyojeruhiwa huko Ramothi alipopigana na Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu. Ndipo Ahazia mwana wa Yehoramu, mfalme wa Yuda, akashuka kwenda Yezreeli kumtazama Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu, kwa sababu alikuwa amejeruhiwa.
7 But from God was the confusion of Achazyahu that he should come to Joram: and when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Achab.
Mungu alikuwa ameamuru kwamba kuanguka kwa Ahazia kungetokea atakapokwenda kumwona Yoramu. Ahazia alipowasili, wakatoka pamoja na Yoramu ili kwenda kukutana na Yehu mwana wa Nimshi, ambaye Bwana alikuwa amemtia mafuta kuangamiza nyumba ya Ahabu.
8 And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Achab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Achazyahu, that ministered to Achazyahu, and he slew them.
Yehu alipokuwa anatekeleza hukumu juu ya nyumba ya Ahabu, akawakuta wakuu wa Yuda na wana wa jamaa ya Ahazia waliokuwa wanamhudumia Ahazia, naye akawaua.
9 And he sought Achazyahu, and they caught him while he was hiding himself in Samaria, and they brought him to Jehu, and they slew him, and buried him; because they said, He is son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was none of the house of Achazyahu who had sufficient power [to obtain] the kingdom.
Ndipo akaenda kumsaka Ahazia, nao watu wake wakamkamata alipokuwa amejificha huko Samaria. Akaletwa kwa Yehu, naye Yehu akamuua. Wakamzika kwani walisema, “Alikuwa mwana wa Yehoshafati, ambaye alimtafuta Bwana kwa moyo wake wote.” Hivyo hapakuwa na mtu mwenye uwezo katika nyumba ya Ahazia aliyeweza kushika ufalme.
10 And when 'Athalyahu the mother of Achazyahu saw that her son was dead, she arose and exterminated all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
Wakati Athalia mamaye Ahazia alipoona kuwa mwanawe amekufa, akainuka na kuiangamiza jamaa yote ya mfalme ya nyumba ya Yuda.
11 But Yehoshab'ath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Achazyahu, and stole him away from the midst of the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse into the bed-chamber. So did Yehoshab'ath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Yehoyada' the priest, —for she was the sister of Achazyahu, —hide him from 'Athalyahu, so that she slew him not.
Lakini Yehosheba, binti wa Mfalme Yehoramu, akamtwaa Yoashi mwana wa Ahazia kwa siri kutoka miongoni mwa wana wa mfalme waliokuwa karibu kuuawa. Akamweka Yoashi pamoja na yaya wake ndani ya chumba cha kulala. Kwa kuwa Yehosheba, aliyekuwa binti wa Mfalme Yehoramu, na pia alikuwa mke wa kuhani Yehoyada, alikuwa dada yake Ahazia, akamficha huyo mtoto ili Athalia asimuue.
12 And he was with them in the house of God hidden six years, while 'Athalyah was reigning over the land.
Alibaki amefichwa pamoja nao katika Hekalu la Mungu kwa muda wa miaka sita wakati Athalia alikuwa akitawala nchi.
