2 Maũndũ 22
1 Nao andũ a Jerusalemu magĩtua Ahazia mũriũ wa Jehoramu ũrĩa warĩ mũnini mũno mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, nĩgũkorwo atharĩkĩri ao arĩa mookire kambĩ-inĩ hamwe na Arabu, nĩmooragĩte ariũ arĩa akũrũ othe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ahazia mũriũ wa Jehoramu mũthamaki wa Juda akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka.
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.
2 Ahazia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mwaka ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Athalia mwarĩ wa mwana wa Omuri.
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.
3 O nake agĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya nyũmba ya Ahabu, nĩgũkorwo nyina nĩamũringagĩrĩria gwĩka maũndũ mooru.
He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
4 Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekĩte, nĩgũkorwo thuutha wa gĩkuũ gĩa ithe, nĩo maatuĩkire amũtaari na makĩmũhĩtithia.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Ningĩ nĩarũmĩrĩire mataaro mao rĩrĩa aathiire mbaara-inĩ na Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli makahũũre Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata kũu Ramothu-Gileadi. Asuriata acio makĩguraria Joramu;
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.
6 nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ Jezireeli nĩguo akahonie nguraro iria aagurarĩirio Ramothu makĩrũa na Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ahazia mũrũ wa Jehoramu mũthamaki wa Juda agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ Jezireeli akarore Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu tondũ nĩagurarĩtio.
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.
7 Nĩ ũndũ wa Ahazia gũthiĩ gũceerera Joramu, Ngai nĩarehire kũniinwo kwa Ahazia. Rĩrĩa Ahazia aakinyire-rĩ, makiumagara na Joramu magacemanie na Jehu mũrũ wa Nimushi, ũrĩa Jehova aaitĩrĩirie maguta aniine nyũmba ya Ahabu.
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 Yahweh had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house.
8 O hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehu aahingagia itua rĩa ciira wa nyũmba ya Ahabu-rĩ, nĩakorereire ariũ a nyũmba ya ũthamaki wa Juda o na ariũ a andũ a nyũmba ya Ahazia, arĩa maatungataga Ahazia, nake akĩmooraga.
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.
9 Ningĩ akiuma agacarie Ahazia, nao andũ a Jehu makĩnyiita Ahazia rĩrĩa eehithĩte Samaria. Akĩrehwo kũrĩ Jehu na akĩũragwo. Nao makĩmũthika nĩgũkorwo moigire atĩrĩ, “Aarĩ ũmwe wa ariũ a Jehoshafatu, ũrĩa warongoragia Jehova na ngoro yake yothe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gũkĩaga mũndũ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Ahazia warĩ na ũhoti mũiganu wa kũrũgamĩrĩra ũthamaki ũcio.
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 Yahweh with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
10 Rĩrĩa Athalia nyina wa Ahazia onire atĩ mũriũ nĩakuĩte-rĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũniina nyũmba yothe ya ũthamaki wa Juda.
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.
11 No rĩrĩ, Jehosheba, mwarĩ wa Mũthamaki Jehoramu, akĩoya Joashu mũrũ wa Ahazia akĩmũruta na hitho kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a mũthamaki arĩa maakirie kũũragwo, na akĩmũhitha nyũmba ya toro hamwe na mũreri wake. Tondũ Jehosheba, mwarĩ wa Mũthamaki Jehoramu na ningĩ mũtumia wa Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, aarĩ mwarĩ wa nyina na Ahazia, nĩahithire mwana ũcio ndakonwo nĩ Athalia nĩguo ndakooragwo.
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.
12 Nake agĩtũũra nao arĩ mũhithe hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai mĩaka ĩtandatũ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Athalia aathaga bũrũri ũcio.
He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
