2 Chronicles 22
1 The people of Jerusalem appointed Jehoram’s youngest son Ahaziah as their king, because the men [from Philistia] who had invaded Judah with some Arabs had killed all of Jehoram’s other sons. So Ahaziah started to rule Judah.
Yerusalem nɔlawo tsɔ Ahazia, Yehoram ƒe viŋutsu suetɔ ɖo fiae ɖe fofoa teƒe elabena adzoha aɖewo va kple Arabiatɔwo, woge ɖe woƒe aʋasaɖa me eye wowu Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔwo katã. Ale Ahazia, Yuda fia, Yehoram ƒe viŋutsu dze fiaɖuɖu gɔme.
2 Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of [King] Omri [of Israel].
Ahazia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe ɖeka le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Atalia, ame si nye Omri ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi.
3 King Ahaziah conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done, because his mother encouraged him to do things that are evil.
Ahazia hã nye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe Ahab ene elabena dadaa do ŋusẽe be wòanɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi.
4 He did things that Yahweh considers to be evil, like the descendants of Ahab had done, because after Ahaziah’s father died, they became his advisors. And Ahaziah died as a result of heeding their bad advice.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe Ahab ene elabena Ahab ƒe ƒometɔwo zu eƒe aɖaŋuɖolawo le fofoa ƒe ku megbe eye woblee de gbegblẽ me.
5 He also did what they advised when he went with Joram, the son of King Ahab of Israel, to fight against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth-Gilead.
Ahazia zɔ ɖe woƒe aɖaŋu vɔ̃ nu eye wòwɔ ɖeka kple Yoram, Israel fia Ahab ƒe vi, hekpe aʋa kpli Aram fia Hazael le Ramot Gilead. Aramtɔwo de abi Yoram ŋu le aʋa sia me.
6 Then King Ahaziah went down to Jezreel [city] to see Joram, the son of [King] Ahab, because he had been wounded.
Eya ta egbɔ va Yezreel be yeagbɔ ɖe eme, eye yeakpɔ egbɔ be woda gbe le abi siwo wode eŋu le Ramot, esime wòwɔ aʋa kple Aram fia Hazael la ŋu. Ke Ahazia si nye Yuda fia Yehoram ƒe vi, yi Yezerel be yeakpɔ Ahab vi Yoram ɖa ɖe eƒe abixɔxɔ ta.
7 It was during that visit that God caused Ahaziah to die. When Ahaziah arrived, he went with Joram to meet Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had appointed to kill all the descendants of Ahab.
Nu sia trɔ zu vodada gã aɖe wòwɔ, elabena Mawu ɖo be yeahe to na Ahazia le eƒe ɖekawɔwɔ kple Yoram ta. Ɣeyiɣi sia mee Ahazia kple Yehoram kpe ɖe Yehu, Nimsi ƒe vi, ŋu le esime wònye Yehue Yehowa ɖo ɖa be, wòatsi Ahab ƒe viwo ƒe fiaɖuɖu nu.
8 While Jehu [and the men who were with him] were killing the descendants of Ahab, they found the leaders of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives who had been working for Ahaziah, and they killed all of them.
Esime Yehu nɔ Ahab ƒe ƒometɔwo kple xɔlɔ̃wo wum la, edo go Ahazia ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye Yuda ƒe fiaviŋutsuwo eye wòwu wo.
9 Then Jehu went to find Ahaziah, and his soldiers found Ahaziah while he was hiding in Samaria [city]. They brought him to Jehu and executed him. Then they buried his corpse, because they said, “[He deserves to be buried, because] he was a descendant of Jehoshaphat, who tried hard to please Yahweh.” There were no descendants of Ahaziah who were powerful enough to become the kings of Judah.
Esi Yehu kple eƒe amewo nɔ Ahazia dim la, wokpɔe wòbe ɖe Samaria du me, wolée yi na Yehu eye wòwui. Woɖi Ahazia abe fia ene elabena Fia Yehosafat, ame si subɔ Yehowa kple dzi blibo la ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvie. Ahazia ƒe vi Yoas koe tsi agbe aɖu fia ɖe eteƒe;
10 When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
Esi Atalia, Ahazia dada kpɔ be ye viŋutsu ku la, eɖawu fia la ƒe ƒometɔwo katã, ame siwo nɔ Yuda ƒe aƒe la me.
11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash, Ahaziah’s very young son, away from the other sons of the king who were about to be murdered, and she hid him and his nursemaid in a bedroom in the temple. Because Jehosheba, who was the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of the Supreme Priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child, with the result that Athaliah could not kill him.
Ke Yehoseba fia, Yehoram ƒe vinyɔnu kplɔ Yoas, Ahazia ƒe viŋutsu eye wòkplɔe sii le fiaviŋutsuwo, ame siwo wogbɔna wuwu ge la dome eye wòtsɔ eya kple edzikpɔla ɣla ɖe xɔ gã me. Yehoseba, fia Yehoram ƒe vinyɔnu kple nunɔla Yehoiada srɔ̃, ame si hã nye Ahazia nɔvinyɔnu la ɣla ɖevi la ɖe Atalia be mate ŋu akpɔe awu o.
12 He remained hidden there for six years while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
Yoas nɔ bebeƒe kpli wo le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la me ƒe ade sɔŋ, esime Atalia nɔ anyigba la dzi ɖum.
