2 Istwa 22
1 Yon bann arab te anvayi kan lame a, yo te touye tout gran pitit gason Joram yo. Sèl Okozyas, dènye pitit gason l' lan, te rete. Se konsa pèp Jerizalèm lan fè Okozyas wa nan plas papa l'.
Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.
2 Okozyas te gen venndezan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan yon sèl lanne. Manman l' te rele Atali, pitit fi Akab, pitit pitit fi Omri.
Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
3 Okozyas tou te mache pye pou pye dèyè moun fanmi Akab yo, paske manman l' t'ap ba li move konsèy.
But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.
4 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a paske, apre lanmò papa l', se lòt moun fanmi Akab yo ki vin sèvi tankou konseye wa a. Se sa ki pèdi l' nèt.
And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.
5 Li koute konsèy yo, li mete tèt ansanm ak Joram, pitit pitit Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, pou al atake Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Lame yo kontre yonn ak lòt lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. Moun Siri yo blese Joram.
And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 Joram tounen lavil Jizreyèl pou l' te refè anba blese li te pran nan batay li t'ap mennen kont Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, lavil Ramòt. Lè sa a, Okozyas moute lavil Jizreyèl pou l' vizite Joram, pitit pitit Akab, paske Joram te malad.
And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.
7 Se Bondye ki te fè Okozyas al rann Joram vizit sa a pou l' te ka kraze l'. Rive Okozyas rive, li pati ansanm ak Joram al kontre Jeou, pitit gason Nimchi a, yon moun Bondye te chwazi pou disparèt tout fanmi Akab la.
Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 Se konsa, pandan Jeou t'ap regle ak fanmi Akab la, li kontre kèk chèf peyi Jida ak ti fanmi wa Okozyas yo ki t'ap sèvi nan lame Okozyas la. Li touye tout.
Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.
9 Apre sa, li mande pou yo chache Okozyas ki te kache nan peyi Samari a. Yo jwenn li, yo mennen l' bay Jeou ki fè yo touye l'. Apre sa, yo antere kadav li, paske yo t'ap di se pitit pitit Jozafa ki te fè sa l' kapab pou l' sèvi Seyè a. Se konsa pa t' rete pesonn nan fanmi Okozyas la ki te ka pran pouvwa a pou gouvènen.
Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.
10 Lè Atali, manman Okozyas, vin konnen yo te touye pitit li a, li bay lòd pou yo touye tout rès fanmi wa peyi Jida yo.
For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.
11 Men, lè yo t'ap touye pitit wa yo, Jozabèt, pitit fi wa Joram lan, pran Joas, pitit gason Okozyas la, li sere l'. Li kache l' ansanm ak moun ki te sèvi l' nouris la nan yon chanm kote moun dòmi nan Tanp lan. Se konsa, Jozabèt, pitit fi wa Joram lan, sè menm papa ak Okozyas, epi ki te madanm Jeojada, prèt la, te sere Joas san Atali pa konn sa, kifè li pa t' mouri tou.
But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.
12 Pandan sizan Joas te rete kache nan Tanp lan ansanm ak moun ki te sèvi l' nouris la. Atali menm t'ap gouvènen peyi a.
Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
