2 Ihe E Mere 22
1 Ndị Jerusalem mere Ahazaya, nwa Jehoram nke nta, eze nʼọnọdụ ya, nʼihi na ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe nʼike, bụ ndị ha na ndị Arab so bata nʼụlọ ikwu ha, egbuolarị ụmụnne ya ndị okenye. Ya mere Ahazaya, nwa Jehoram bụ eze Juda malitere ịchị.
And the inhabitants of Ierusalem made Ahaziah his yongest sonne King in his steade: for the armie that came with the Arabians to the campe, had slayne all the eldest: therefore Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah reigned.
2 Ahazaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị otu afọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Atalaya nwa nwa Omri eze Izrel.
Two and fourtie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yeere in Ierusalem. and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 Ya onwe ya sokwara ụzọ niile nke ndị ezinaụlọ Ehab, nʼihi na nne ya gbara ya ume ime ajọ omume.
He walked also in the wayes of the house of Ahab: for his mother counselled him to doe wickedly.
4 O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka ezinaụlọ Ehab mere nʼihi na ha ghọrọ ndị ndụmọdụ ya mgbe nna ya nwụsịrị, nke a wetara ọdịda ya.
Wherefore he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellers after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 O gbasokwara ndụmọdụ ha, mgbe o sooro Joram nwa Ehab, bụ eze Izrel, ịga buso Hazael eze Aram agha na Ramọt Gilead. Ndị Aram merụrụ Joram ahụ,
And he walked after their counsel, and went with Iehoram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Aramites smote Ioram.
6 ya mere, ọ lọghachitere na Jezril ka a gwọọ ya mmerụ ahụ ha merụrụ ya na Ramọt, nʼagha nke ya na Hazael eze Aram lụrụ. Mgbe ahụ, Ahazaya nwa Jehoram, eze Juda gara Jezril ileta Joram nwa Ehab, nʼihi na e merụrụ ya ahụ.
And he returned to be healed in Izreel, because of the woundes wherewith they had wounded him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael King of Aram. Nowe Azariah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Iehoram the sonne of Ahab at Izreel, because hee was diseased.
7 Ọ bụ site na nleta Ahazaya gara leta Joram, ka Chineke si weta ọdịda Ahazaya. Mgbe Ahazaya bịarutere, ya na Joram pụrụ ịga zute Jehu nwa Nimshi, onye ahụ Onyenwe anyị tere mmanụ ka ọ laa ezinaụlọ Ehab nʼiyi.
And the destruction of Ahaziah came of God in that he went to Ioram: for when he was come, he went forth with Iehoram against Iehu the sonne of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 Mgbe Jehu nọ na-emezu ihe e kpebiri nʼikpe banyere ezinaụlọ Ehab, o zutere ndị ozi Juda na ụmụ ndị ikom ụmụnne Ahazaya, ndị na-ejere Ahazaya ozi, gbuo ha niile.
Therefore when Iehu executed iudgement vpon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Iudah and the sonnes of the brethren of Ahaziah that waited on Ahaziah, he slew them also.
9 Ọ pụrụ ịchọ Ahazaya. Ndị ozi ya jidere ya ebe o zoro onwe ya na Sameria. Ha kpụtaara ya Jehu onye gburu ya. Ha liri ya, nʼihi na ha kwuru sị, “Nwa Jehoshafat ka ọ bụ, onye jiri obi ya niile gbasoo Onyenwe anyị.” Ya mere, o nwekwaghị onye dị ike nʼụlọ Ahazaya ijide alaeze ahụ.
And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him where he was hid in Samaria, and brought him to Iehu, and slewe him, and buryed him, because, sayd they, he is the sonne of Iehoshaphat, which sought the Lord with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah was not able to reteine the kingdome.
10 Mgbe Atalaya, nne Ahazaya hụrụ na nwa ya nwoke anwụọla, ọ gara nʼihu bido igbu ndị niile a mụrụ nʼụlọ eze, bụ ndị ezinaụlọ eze Juda.
Therefore when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah sawe that her sonne was dead, shee arose and destroyed all the Kings seede of the house of Iudah.
11 Ma Jehosheba, bụ nwa nwanyị eze Jehoram, kuuru Joash nwa Ahazaya zopu ya site nʼetiti ụmụ eze, bụ ndị a chọrọ igbu egbu. O zoro ya na nwanyị na-elekọta ya anya nʼime ụlọ ndina. Nʼihi na Jehosheba, bụ nwa nwanyị eze Jehoram, bụ nwanne Ahazaya, ma bụrụkwa nwunye Jehoiada onye nchụaja, ya mere o jiri zonarị Atalaya nwantakịrị ahụ, ka ọ ghara igbu ya.
But Iehoshabeath the daughter of ye King, tooke Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah, and stale him from among the Kings sonnes, that shoulde be slayne, and put him and his nource in the bed chamber: so Iehoshabeath the daughter of King Iehoram the wife of Iehoiada the Priest (for shee was the sister of Ahaziah) hid him from Athaliah: so she slew him not.
12 Ya na ha nọgidere na nzuzo nʼime ụlọnsọ Chineke, afọ isii, oge ahụ niile Atalaya na-achị nʼala ahụ.
And hee was with them hid in the house of God sixe yeeres, whiles Athaliah reigned ouer the land.
