2 Chronicles 22
1 The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
Jeruzalemci zakraljiše na njegovo mjesto najmlađeg mu sina, Ahazju, jer sve starije bijaše poubijala četa koja je s Arapima navalila na tabor; tako se zakraljio Ahazja, sin judejskoga kralja Jorama.
2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
Bile su mu četrdeset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je jednu godinu u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Atalija, Omrijeva kći.
3 He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
I on je išao putovima doma Ahabova, jer ga mati zlo svjetovaše.
4 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, kao dom Ahabov, jer mu baš oni bijahu savjetnici poslije očeve smrti, na njegovu propast.
5 He also followed 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.
Po njihovu je savjetu pošao s Joramom, sinom izraelskoga kralja Ahaba, u boj na aramejskoga kralja Hazaela u Ramot Gilead. Ali su Aramejci porazili Jorama.
6 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. Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
On se vratio da se liječi u Jizreelu od rana što mu ih zadadoše u Rami kad se borio s aramejskim kraljem Hazaelom. Joramov sin Ahazja, judejski kralj, sišao je u Jizreel da posjeti Ahabova sina Jorama jer se Joram razbolio.
7 Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram; for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house.
Ali Bog učini da taj posjet Joramu bude na propast Ahazji. Došavši, izišao je s Joramom na Nimšijeva sina Jehua, koga je Jahve pomazao da iskorijeni Ahabovu kuću.
8 When Jehu was executing judgment on Ahab’s house, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah serving Ahaziah, and killed them.
Dok je izvršavao osvetu nad Ahabovom kućom, Jehu zateče judejske knezove i sinove Ahazjine braće koji su posluživali Ahazju i pobi ih,
9 He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
a onda krenu u potragu za Ahazjom. Uhvatili su ga dok se krio u Samariji, doveli ga k Jehuu, koji ga smaknu. Ukopali su ga, jer su rekli: “Sin je onoga Jošafata koji je tražio Jahvu svim srcem.” Tako ne ostade nitko od Ahazjine kuće koji bi imao snage da bude kralj.
10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.
Zato Ahazjina mati Atalija, vidjevši gdje joj sin poginu, ustade i posmica sav kraljevski rod Judina plemena.
11 But Jehoshabeath, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from among the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. 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 didn’t kill him.
Ali kraljeva kći Jošeba uze Ahazjina sina Joaša; ukravši ga između kraljevih sinova koje su ubijali, metnu ga s dojiljom u ložnicu. Tako ga je Jošeba, kći kralja Jorama, žena svećenika Jojade, sakrila od Atalije, jer je bila Ahazjina sestra, te nije bio pogubljen.
12 He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
Bio je sakriven s njima u Domu Božjem šest godina, sve dok je zemljom vladala Atalija.
