< 2 Chronicles 22 >
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem cause his youngest son Ahaziah to reign in his stead (for the troop had slain all the chiefly that came in with the Arabians to the camp), and Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigns.
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 [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah daughter 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 he has also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother has been his counselor to do wickedly.
Iapun hidup menurut kelakuan keluarga Ahab, karena ibunya menasihatinya untuk melakukan yang jahat.
4 And he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counselors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN sama seperti keluarga Ahab, sebab sesudah ayahnya mati mereka menjadi penasihat-penasihatnya yang mencelakakannya.
5 Also, he has walked in their counsel, and goes with Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel, to battle against Hazael king of Aram in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah strike 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 and he turns back to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds with which they had struck him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, has gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he [is] sick;
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 and to come to Joram has been from God [for] the destruction of Ahaziah; and in his coming he has gone out with Jehoram to Jehu son of Nimshi, whom YHWH anointed to cut off 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 And it comes to pass, in Jehu’s executing judgment with the house of Ahab, that he finds the heads of Judah and sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slays 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 And he seeks Ahaziah, and they capture him (and he is hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him to Jehu, and put him to death, and bury him, for they said, “He [is] son of Jehoshaphat, who sought YHWH with all his heart”; and there is none of the house of Ahaziah to retain power for 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 And Athaliah mother of Ahaziah has seen that her son is dead, and she rises and destroys the whole seed of the kingdom 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 And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king takes Joash son of Ahaziah, and steals him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and puts him and his nurse into the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she has been sister of Ahaziah, hides him from the face of Athaliah, and she has not put him to death.
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 he is with them in the house of God hiding himself [for] six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.
Maka tinggallah Yoas enam tahun lamanya bersama-sama mereka dengan bersembunyi di rumah Allah, sementara Atalya memerintah negeri.
