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.
The people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, Jehoram's youngest son, king in succession to his father, since the invaders who had entered the camp with the Arabians had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah.
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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 Nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba koa izy; fa ny reniny no nanome saina azy hanao ratsy.
Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him to do wicked things.
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.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as the family of Ahab had done. For after his father's death they were his counselors, to his ruin.
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.
He also followed their advice in joining with Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, in attacking Hazael, king of Aram, in Ramoth Gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
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 returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
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.
Azariah's downfall came from God when he went to see Joram. When Azariah got there, he went with Joram to meet Jehu, son of Nimri. The Lord had anointed Jehu to destroy Ahab and his family.
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.
While Jehu was carrying out judgment on the family of Ahab, he came across the leaders of Judah and Azariah's relatives who were assisting Ahaziah, and he killed them.
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.
Then Jehu went looking for Ahaziah. His men found him in Samaria and captured him, and took him to Jehu where they killed him. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who was completely committed to following the Lord.” There was no one left from Ahaziah's family to rule 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.
When Athaliah Ahaziah's mother found out that her son was dead, she proceeded to kill all who remained of the royal family of Judah.
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, daughter of King Jehoram, grabbed Joash, son of Ahaziah, and took him from the sons of the king who were about to be killed, and she placed him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah's sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so she couldn't kill him.
12 Ary niery enin-taona tao aminy tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra izy. Ary Atalia no nanjaka tamin’ ny tany
And they kept Joash hidden with them in God's Temple for six years while Athaliah ruled the country.
