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.
The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place; for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah 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.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athalih, 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 also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counselor to do 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.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors 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,
He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Arameans wounded Joram.
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.
He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
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.
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 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.
It happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and killed them.
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.
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 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.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah.
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 Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and secretly took him away from among the king's sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehosheba, 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 did not kill him.
12 Ya na ha nọgidere na nzuzo nʼime ụlọnsọ Chineke, afọ isii, oge ahụ niile Atalaya na-achị nʼala ahụ.
He was with them hidden in God's house six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
