2 Tantara 22
1 Ary ny mponina tany Jerosalema nampanjaka an’ i Ahazia, faralahin’ i Jehorama, handimby azy; fa ny zokiny rehetra efa matin’ ny mpitoha ady izay nanaraka ny Arabo hatrany an-toby avokoa. Koa Ahazia, zanak’ i Jehorama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no nanjaka.
And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.
2 Roa amby efa-polo taona Ahazia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary herintaona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Atalia, zanak’ i Omry.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
3 Nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba koa izy; fa ny reniny no nanome saina azy hanao ratsy.
He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother was his teacher in evil-doing.
4 Ka dia nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah toy ny taranak’ i Ahaba izy; fa ireny no nanome saina azy taorian’ ny nahafatesan’ ny rainy ka nampidi-doza taminy.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the family of Ahab did; for after the death of his father they were his guides to his destruction.
5 Ary ny saina nomen’ ireo azy no narahiny, ka niara-nandeha tamin’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izy hiady tamin’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, teo Ramota-gileada; ary ny Syriana nahavoa an’ i Jorama.
Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.
6 Dia niverina mba hotsaboina tao Jezirela izy amin’ ny feriny tamin’ ny nahavoazana azy tao Rama, fony izy niady tamin’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria. Ary Azaria, zanak’ i Jehorama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nidina mba hamangy an’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, tao Jezirela, satria marary izy.
And he went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Jehoram, the son of Ahab, because he was ill.
7 Ary avy tamin’ Andriamanitra ny loza nanjo an’ i Ahazia tamin’ ny nankanesany tany amin’ i Jorama, fa nony tonga izy, dia niara-nivoaka tamin’ i Jorama mba hitsena an’ i Jeho, zanak’ i Nimsy, izay nohosoran’ i Jehovah handringana ny taranak’ i Ahaba.
Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.
8 Ary tamin’ ny namalian’ i Jeho ny taranak’ i Ahaba dia hitany ireo mpanapaka ny Joda sy ny zana-drahalahin’ i Ahazia, izay nanompo an’ i Ahazia, ka novonoiny.
Now when Jehu was effecting the punishment of the family of Ahab, he came to the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, the servants of Ahaziah, and put them to death.
9 Ary nitady an’ i Ahazia koa izy; koa nisy nahita azy, raha mbola niery tany Samaria izy, dia nitondra azy ho any amin’ i Jeho, ary namono azy ny olona ka nandevina azy; fa hoy ireo: Zanak’ i Josafata, ilay nitady an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fony rehetra, ity. Ka dia tsy nahatana ny fanjakana ny terak’ i Ahazia.
And he went in search of Ahaziah; and when they came where he was, (for he was in a secret place in Samaria, ) they took him to Jehu and put him to death; then they put his body to rest in the earth, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, whose heart was true to the Lord. So the family of Ahaziah had no power to keep the kingdom.
10 Ary nony hitan’ i Atalia, renin’ i Ahazia, fa maty ny zanany, dia nitsangana izy ka nandringana ny zanak’ andriana rehetra tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda.
Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom of Judah put to death.
11 Fa Joseba, zanakavavin’ ny mpanjaka, dia naka an’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Ahazia, ka namonjy azy avy teo amin’ ny zanaky ny mpanjaka izay novonoina, dia nampiditra azy sy ny mpitaiza azy ho ao an-trano fitehirizam-pandriana. Ary nafenin’ i Joseba, zanakavavin’ i Jehorama mpanjaka, vadin’ i Joiada mpisorona, izy (fa anabavin’ i Ahazia ravehivavy) mba tsy ho hitan’ i Atalia, ka dia tsy mba voavonony izy.
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him and the woman who took care of him in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, kept him safe from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.
12 Ary niery enin-taona tao aminy tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra izy. Ary Atalia no nanjaka tamin’ ny tany
And she kept him safe with her in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah was ruling the land.
