Ii Paralipomenon 22
1 Constituerunt autem habitatores Ierusalem Ochoziam filium eius minimum, regem pro eo: omnes enim maiores natu, qui ante eum fuerant, interfecerant latrones Arabum, qui irruerant in castra: regnavitque Ochozias filius Ioram regis Iuda.
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 Quadraginta duorum annorum erat Ochozias cum regnare coepisset, et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem, et nomen matris eius Athalia filia Amri.
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 Sed et ipse ingressus est per vias domus Achab: mater enim eius impulit eum ut impie ageret.
He too, walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, —for, his mother, became his counselor, to work lawlessness.
4 Fecit igitur malum in conspectu Domini, sicut domus Achab: ipsi enim fuerunt ei consiliarii post mortem patris sui, in interitum eius.
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 Ambulavitque in consiliis eorum. Et perrexit cum Ioram filio Achab rege Israel, in bellum contra Hazael regem Syriae in Ramoth Galaad: vulneraveruntque Syri Ioram.
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 Qui reversus est ut curaretur in Iezrahel: multas enim plagas acceperat in supradicto certamine. Igitur Ochozias filius Ioram rex Iuda, descendit ut inviseret Ioram filium Achab in Iezrahel aegrotantem.
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 Voluntatis quippe fuit Dei adversus Ochoziam, ut veniret ad Ioram: et cum venisset, et egrederetur cum eo adversum Iehu filium Namsi, quem unxit Dominus ut deleret domum Achab.
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 Cum ergo everteret Iehu domum Achab, invenit principes Iuda, et filios fratrum Ochoziae, qui ministrabant ei, et interfecit illos.
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 Ipsum quoque perquirens Ochoziam, comprehendit latitantem in Samaria: adductumque ad se, occidit, et sepelierunt eum: eo quod esset filius Iosaphat, qui quaesierat Dominum in toto corde suo. nec erat ultra spes aliqua ut de stirpe quis regnaret Ochoziae.
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 siquidem Athalia mater eius videns quod mortuus esset filius suus, surrexit, et interfecit omnem stirpem regiam domus Ioram.
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 Porro Iosabeth filia regis tulit Ioas filium Ochoziae, et furata est eum de medio filiorum regis, cum interficerentur: absconditque eum cum nutrice sua in cubiculo lectulorum: Iosabeth autem, quae absconderat eum, erat filia regis Ioram, uxor Ioiadae pontificis, soror Ochoziae, et idcirco Athalia non interfecit eum.
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 Fuit ergo cum eis in domo Dei absconditus sex annis, quibus regnavit Athalia super terram.
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.
