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 Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king, in his stead, for, all the elder sons, had the band of men slain who came in with the Arabians into the camp, —so Ahaziah 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.
Forty-two years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Athaliah, 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 too, walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, —for, his mother, became his counselor, to work lawlessness.
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 the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, they, became 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,
Even in their counsel, he walked, and went with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians smote 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.
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel, because of the wounds wherewith they smote him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria, —and, Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because, sick, was he!
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.
But, from God, came the downfall of Azariah, through his coming to Joram, —and because, through his coming, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh 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.
And so it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, —and found the rulers of Judah and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah ministering to Ahaziah, that he slew 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.
And he sought Ahaziah, and they captured him, he, having hid himself in Samaria, and they brought him unto Jehu, and he put him to death, and they buried him, because, said they, he is, the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart, —and, no one of the house of Ahaziah, had ability for 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.
But, when, Athaliah mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she rose up and destroyed all the seed royal 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 Jehoshabeath, daughter of the king, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the sons of the king who were being slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber, —so Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram—wife of Jehoiada the priest, for, she, was the sister of Ahaziah—hid him from the face of Athaliah so that 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 it came to pass that he was with them, in the house of God, hidden six years, -while, Athaliah, was reigning over the land.
