1 Kutu mwet Arabia tuku orek lokoalok, ac uniya wen natul Tokosra Jehoram nukewa sayal Ahaziah, su fusr oemeet. Ouinge mwet Jerusalem elos sraklalak Ahaziah tuh elan tokosra aol papa tumal ah.
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 Ahaziah el yac longoul luo ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke lusen yac se. Nina kial pa Athaliah, acn nutin natul Tokosra Omri lun Israel.
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 Ahaziah el oayapa fahsr tukun ouiya lun mwet in sou lal Tokosra Ahab, ke sripen nina kial ah sang kas in kasru koluk nu sel.
But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.
4 El oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, mweyen tukun papa tumal ah misa, el sulela kutu mwet in sou lal Ahab tuh elos in mwet pwapa lal, na kas in kasru lalos kolol nu ke kunausten.
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 Ke sripen kas lalos nu sel, el tuh welulang Tokosra Joram lun Israel, ac mweun nu sel Tokosra Hazael lun Syria. U luo inge amweuni upa na in acn Ramoth in Gilead, na Joram el kineta ke mweun ah.
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 El folokla nu in siti Jezreel in tuh kwela liki kinet kacl ah, ac Ahaziah el som nu we in osun nu sel.
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 God El oru tuh mutwata se lal Ahaziah nu yorol Joram inge in oru tuh Ahaziah in munaslana. Ke el muta yorol Joram, oasr mwet se som in osun nu seltal, ac inel pa Jehu, wen natul Nimshi. LEUM GOD El sulella Jehu tuh in el pa kunausla fwilin mwet leum ke sou lal Ahab.
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 Ke Jehu el fahsr in oru ma God El supwalla nu kac inge, el sun un mwet kol se lun mwet Judah, wi kutu wen nutin tamulel lal Ahaziah su welul Ahaziah ke fahsr se ine. Jehu el onelosla nukewa.
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 Sukok Ahaziah nwe koneyukyak tuh el nu wikwik Samaria. Elos usalla nu yorol Jehu ac unilya. Tusruktu elos pikinya manol ke sripal Tokosra Jehoshaphat, papa matu tumal, su sang kuiyal nufon in orekma nu sin LEUM GOD. Ouinge wanginla mwet in sou lal Ahaziah in leumi tokosrai sac tokol.
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 In pacl se na Athaliah, nina kial Tokosra Ahaziah, el lohngak lah wen se natul ah anwuki, el sap in anwukla nufon sou lun leum fin acn Judah.
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 Oasr sie mutan wial Ahaziah, su inel pa Jehosheba, ac el payuk sel Jehoiada, sie mwet tol. Mutan se inge el som in lukma ac eisal Joash, sie sin wen natul Ahaziah, ac usalla liki fisrak wial su akoeyuk in anwuki. El usalla fililya ke sie infukil in Tempul, wi mutan to se lal. Ke sripen el okanulla ouinge, pwanang tulik sac moul, ac Athaliah el tia unilya.
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 Joash el wikinyukla we ke yac onkosr, ke pacl Athaliah el leumi acn we.
Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
