2 Chronicles 22
1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem cause Ahaziah his youngest son to reign in his stead, (for all the elder had the troop slain that came in with the Arabians to the camp, ) and Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigneth.
Derpå gjorde Jerusalems Indbyggere hans yngste Søn Ahazja til Konge i hans Sted, thi de ældre var dræbt af Røverskaren, der brød ind i Lejren sammen med Araberne. Således blev Ahazja, Jorams Søn, Konge i Juda.
2 A son of twenty and two years [is] Ahaziah in his reigning, and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah daughter of Omri;
Ahazja var to og fyrretyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede eet År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Atalja og var Datter af Omri.
3 he also hath walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother hath been his counsellor to do wickedly.
Også han vandrede i Akabs Hus's Spor, thi hans Moder forledte ham til Ugudelighed ved sine Råd.
4 And he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counsellors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, ligesom Akabs Hus, thi efter Faderens Død blev de hans Rådgivere, og det blev hans Fordærv.
5 Also, in their counsel he hath walked, and goeth with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel to battle against Hazael king of Aram, in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah smite Joram;
Det var også efter deres Råd, han sammen med Akabs Søn, Kong Joram af Israel, drog i Krig mod Kong Hazael af Aram ved Ramot i Gilead. Men Aramæerne sårede Joram.
6 and he turneth back to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds with which they had smitten him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah hath gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab, in Jezreel, for he [is] sick;
Så vendte Joram tilbage for i Jizre'el at søge Helbredelse for de Sår, man havde tilføjet ham ved Rama, da han kæmpede med Kong Hazael af Aram; og Jorams Søn, Kong Ahazja af Juda, drog ned for at se til Joram, Akabs Søn, i Jizre'el, fordi han lå syg.
7 and from God hath been the destruction of Ahaziah, to come unto Joram: and in his coming he hath gone out with Jehoram unto Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
Men til Ahazjas Undergang var det tilskikket af Gud, at han skulde komme til Joram; thi da han var kommet derhen, gik han med Joram ud til Jehu, Nimsjis Søn, som HERREN havde salvet til at udrydde Akabs Hus.
8 And it cometh to pass, in Jehu's executing judgment with the house of Ahab, that he findeth the heads of Judah and sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slayeth them.
Og da Jehu fuldbyrdede Dommen over Akabs Hus, traf han på Judas Øverster og Ahazjas Brodersønner, der var i Ahazjas Tjeneste, og dræbte dem;
9 And he seeketh Ahaziah, and they capture him, (and he is hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him in unto Jehu, and put him to death, and bury him, for they said, 'He [is] son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart;' and there is none to the house of Ahaziah to retain power for the kingdom.
derpå lod han Ahazja eftersøge, og man fangede ham, medens han holdt sig skjult i Samaria, ogbragte ham til Jehu, der lod ham dræbe. Så jordede de ham, thi de sagde: "Han var dog en Søn af Josafat, der søgte HERREN af hele sit Hjerte." Men af Ahazjas Hus var ingen stærk nok til at tage Magten.
10 And Athaliah mother of Ahaziah hath seen that her son is dead, and she riseth and destroyeth the whole seed of the kingdom of the house of Judah.
Da Atalja, Ahazjas Moder, fik at vide, at hendes Søn var død, tog hun sig for at udrydde hele den kongelige Slægt af Judas Hus.
11 And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and putteth 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 hath been sister of Ahaziah, hideth him from the face of Athaliah, and she hath not put him to death.
Men Kongens Datter Josjab'at tog Ahazjas Søn Joas og fik ham hemmeligt af Vejen, så han ikke var imellem Kongesønnerne, der blev dræbt, og hun gemte ham og hans Amme i Sengekammeret. Således holdt Josjab'at, Kong Jorams Datter, Præsten Jojadas Hustru, der jo var Søster til Ahazja, ham skjult for Atalja, så hun ikke fik ham dræbt;
12 And he is with them in the house of God hiding himself six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.
og han var i seks År skjult hos dem i HERRENs Hus, medens Atalja herskede i Landet.
