2 Chronicles 22
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king, in his stead, for, all the elder sons, had the band of men slain who came in with the Arabians into the camp, —so Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
Derefter gjorde Jerusalems innbyggere hans yngste sønn Akasja til konge i hans sted; for alle de eldre var blitt drept av den røverflokk som var kommet til leiren sammen med araberne. Således blev Jorams sønn Akasja konge i Juda.
2 Forty-two years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Athaliah, daughter of Omri.
Akasja var to og tyve år gammel da han blev konge, og regjerte ett år i Jerusalem; hans mor hette Atalja og var en datter av Omri.
3 He too, walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, —for, his mother, became his counselor, to work lawlessness.
Også han vandret på samme veier som Akabs hus; for hans mor forførte ham med sine råd til ugudelighet.
4 Wherefore he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, they, became his counselors, after the death of his father, to his destruction.
Han gjorde hvad ondt var i Herrens øine, likesom Akabs hus; for efter hans fars død var de hans rådgivere til hans egen ødeleggelse.
5 Even in their counsel, he walked, and went with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians smote Joram.
Det var også deres råd han fulgte da han sammen med Israels konge Joram, Akabs sønn, drog ut i krig mot Hasael, kongen i Syria, og stred mot ham ved Ramot i Gilead. Men syrerne såret Joram.
6 And he returned to be healed in Jezreel, because of the wounds wherewith they smote him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria, —and, Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because, sick, was he!
Da vendte han tilbake for å la sig læge i Jisre'el for de sår han hadde fått ved Rama da han stred mot kongen i Syria Hasael, og Judas konge Asarja, Jorams sønn, drog ned til Jisre'el for å se til Joram, Akabs sønn, fordi han var syk.
7 But, from God, came the downfall of Azariah, through his coming to Joram, —and because, through his coming, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
Men det var Gud som vilde at Akasja skulde gå til grunne, og derfor styrte det så at han kom til Joram; for da han var kommet dit, drog han med Joram ut mot Jehu, Nimsis sønn, som Herren hadde salvet til å utrydde Akabs hus,
8 And so it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, —and found the rulers of Judah and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah ministering to Ahaziah, that he slew them.
og så hendte det at Jehu, da han fullbyrdet dommen over Akabs hus, møtte Judas høvdinger og Akasjas brorsønner, som var i Akasjas tjeneste, og drepte dem.
9 And he sought Ahaziah, and they captured him, he, having hid himself in Samaria, and they brought him unto Jehu, and he put him to death, and they buried him, because, said they, he is, the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart, —and, no one of the house of Ahaziah, had ability for the kingdom.
Så søkte han efter Akasja, og han blev grepet mens han holdt sig skjult i Samaria, og de førte ham til Jehu og drepte ham. Så begravde de ham; for de sa: Han er en sønn av Josafat, som søkte Herren av alt sitt hjerte. Men det var ingen igjen av Akasjas hus som var i stand til å overta kongedømmet.
10 But, when, Athaliah mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she rose up and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
Da Akasjas mor Atalja fikk vite at hennes sønn var død, tok hun sig for å utrydde hele kongeætten i Judas hus.
11 But Jehoshabeath, daughter of the king, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the sons of the king who were being slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber, —so Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram—wife of Jehoiada the priest, for, she, was the sister of Ahaziah—hid him from the face of Athaliah so that she slew him not.
Men kongedatteren Josabat tok Joas, Akasjas sønn, og førte ham hemmelig bort fra kongesønnene som skulde drepes, og førte ham og hans amme inn i sengkammeret; der skjulte Josabat, kong Jorams datter, presten Jojadas hustru, ham - for hun var søster til Akasja - for Atalja, så hun ikke fikk drept ham.
12 And it came to pass that he was with them, in the house of God, hidden six years, -while, Athaliah, was reigning over the land.
Siden var han hos dem i Guds hus og blev holdt skjult i seks år, mens Atalja regjerte i landet.
