2 Chronicles 22
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
So tok Jerusalems-buarne Ahazja, den yngste son hans, til konge i staden hans; for dei eldste hadde røvarflokken drepe som hadde kome til lægret saman med arabarane. Soleis vart Ahazja Joramsson konge i Juda.
2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Ahazja då han vart konge, og eitt år var han konge i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Atalja og var dotter åt Omri.
3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
Han gjekk på vegarne åt Ahabs hus; for mor hans forførde honom til gudløysa med råderne sine.
4 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors: after the death of his father, to his destruction.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Ahabs hus; for til hans eige tjon vart dei rådgjevarene hans etter far hans var avliden.
5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Etter deira råd for han og i herferd saman med Israels-kongen Joram Ahabsson, imot syrarkongen Hazael ved Ramot i Gilead. Men syrarane særde Joram.
6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
Då snudde han attende og vilde få lækt dei såri i Jizre’el som dei hadde gjeve honom ved Rama, då han stridde med syrarkongen Hazael. Og Azarja, kongen i Juda, son åt Joram, drog ned til Jizre’el og vilde sjå um Joram Ahabsson, av di han var sjuk.
7 Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram: for 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 Ahab.
Men til undergang for Ahazja hadde Gud laga det so, at han skulde koma til Joram, og når han kom, skulde han draga ut med Joram imot Jehu Nimsison, som Herren hadde salva til å øyda ut Ahabs hus.
8 And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.
For då Jehu sette i verk domen yver Ahabs hus, då råka han hovdingarne i Juda og brorsønerne åt Ahazja, som gjekk Ahazja til handa, og han drap deim.
9 And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him, (now he was hiding in Samaria, ) and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said; He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
So leita han etter Ahazja, og dei greip honom då han gøymde seg i Samaria, og leidde honom til Jehu, som let honom drepa. Like vel gravlagde dei honom; for dei kom i hug at han var son åt Josafat, som heldt seg til Herren med heile sitt hjarta. Men det var ingen att av huset åt Ahazja som var sterk nok til å taka kongedømet.
10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
Då Atalja, mor åt Ahazja, fekk vita at son hennar var dåen, tok ho seg fyre å tyna heile kongsætti i Judas hus.
11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah, ) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
Men Josabat, dotter åt kongen, tok Joas Ahazjason, og fekk honom burt ifrå kongssønerne, som var drepne, og fekk honom og fostermor hans inn i sengkammerset. Soleis gøymde Josabat, dotter åt kong Joram og kona åt presten Jojada - for ho var syster åt Ahazja - honom for Atalja, so ho fekk ikkje drepe honom.
12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
So var han hjå deim i Guds hus burtgøymd i seks år, medan Atalja styrde i landet.
