2 Istwa 22
1 Pèp Jérusalem la te fè Achazia, pi piti fis li a, wa nan plas li, akoz bann mesye ki te vini ak Arab yo nan kan an te touye tout pi gran yo. Konsa Achazia, fis a Joram nan, wa Juda a te kòmanse renye.
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 Achazia te gen venn-dezan lè l te devni wa a e li te renye ennan Jérusalem. Non manman l te Athalie, fi a Omri.
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 Li menm tou te mache nan chemen lakay Achab yo, paske manman li te konseye li pou fè mal.
He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
4 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a tankou Achab, paske yo te konseye li apre lanmò papa l, jiskaske sa te fin detwi li.
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.
5 Li te osi mache selon konsèy pa yo, e te ale avèk Joram, fis a Achab la, wa Israël la pou fè lagè kont Hazaël, wa Syrie a nan Ramoth-Galaad. Men Siryen yo te blese Joram.
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 Pou sa, li te retounen pou geri nan Jizreel akoz blese ke yo te ba li nan Rama yo, lè li te fin goumen kont Hazaël, wa Syrie a. Epi Achazia, fis a Joram nan, wa Juda a, te desann pou wè Joram, fis a Achab la Jizreel, akoz li te malad.
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 Alò, destriksyon Achazia te sòti nan Bondye akoz li te ale kote Joram. Paske lè l te desann, li te sòti avèk Joram kont Jéhu, fis a Nimschi a, ke SENYÈ a te chwazi pou detwi lakay Achab.
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.
8 Li te vin rive ke lè Jéhu t ap egzekite jijman sou lakay Achab la, li te twouve chèf a Juda yo avèk fis a frè Achazia ki t ap sèvi Achazia yo, e li te touye yo.
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 Anplis, li te chache Achazia, epi yo te kenbe li pandan li te kache Samarie a. Yo te mennen li kote Jéhu, yo te mete li a lanmò, e te antere li. Paske yo te di: “Li se fis a Josaphat, ki te chache SENYÈ a ak tout kè li a.” Konsa, pa t gen moun lakay Achazia pou te kenbe pouvwa wayòm nan.
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.
10 Alò lè Athalie, manman Achazia a, te wè ke fis li a te mouri, li te leve e te detwi tout pitit wa lakay Juda yo.
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 Men Joschabeath, fi a wa a te pran fis a Achazia a e te rache li soti nan mitan fis a wa a ke yo t ap touye yo, e li te plase li avèk nouris li nan chanm dòmi an. Konsa, Joschabeath, fi a Wa Joram nan, madanm a Jehojada, prèt la (paske li te sè Achazia), te kache li pou Athalie pa t kab mete l a lanmò.
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 Li te kache yo lakay SENYÈ a pandan sizan pandan Athalie t ap renye sou peyi a.
He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
