2 Tantara 22
1 Aa le nanoe’ o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo mpanjaka t’i Ahkazià tsitson’ ana’e handimbe aze, amy te fonga zinama’ i firimboña’ ondaty nindre amo nte-Arabe naname’ i tobeo o zoke’eo; aa le nifehe t’i Ahkazià ana’ Iehorame mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
The people of Jerusalem appointed Jehoram’s youngest son Ahaziah as their king, because the men [from Philistia] who had invaded Judah with some Arabs had killed all of Jehoram’s other sons. So Ahaziah started to rule Judah.
2 Ni-efapolo taoñe ro’amby ty Ahkazià te niorotse nifehe, le nifehe rai-taoñe e Ierosalaime ao. I Atalià ana’ i Omrý ty tahinan-drene’e.
Ahaziah was 22 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of [King] Omri [of Israel].
3 Nanjotik’ an-tsatan’ anjomba’ i Akabe ka re, fa nimpanolo-hevets’ aze ty rene’e hanoa’e haloloañe.
King Ahaziah conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done, because his mother encouraged him to do things that are evil.
4 Aa le nanoe’e haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà manahake ty anjomba’ i Akabe, ty amo mpanoro aze tafaram-pivetrahan-drae’eo, handrotsahañ’ aze.
He did things that Yahweh considers to be evil, like the descendants of Ahab had done, because after Ahaziah’s father died, they became his advisors. And Ahaziah died as a result of heeding their bad advice.
5 Ie nitsontik’ amo fanoroa’ iareoo, naho nindre am’Iehorame ana’ i Akabe, mpanjaka’ Israele, hialy amy Kazaele mpanjaka’ i Arame e Ramote-gilade. Le finatsi’ o nte-Arameo t’Iorame
He also did what they advised when he went with Joram, the son of King Ahab of Israel, to fight against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth-Gilead.
6 vaho noly e Iezreele ao hijangañe amo fere’e natolots’ aze e Ramào, ie nialy amy Kazaele mpanjaka’ i Arame. Le nizotso mb’eo t’i Ahkazià ana’ Iehorame mpanjaka’ Iehoda hitilike i ana’ i Akabey e Iezreele ao ami’ty hasilo’e.
Then King Ahaziah went down to Jezreel [city] to see Joram, the son of [King] Ahab, because he had been wounded.
7 I Andrianañahare ty nampandrotsake i Ahkazià ty amy nandenà’e mb’e Iorame mb’eoy, f’ie nipok’ eo le nindreza’e fiavotse am’Iehorame hiatreatre am’ Ieho ana’ i Nimsý noriza’ Iehovà hampipitsoke ty anjomba’ i Akabe.
It was during that visit that God caused Ahaziah to die. When Ahaziah arrived, he went with Joram to meet Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had appointed to kill all the descendants of Ahab.
8 Aa ie nañeneke ty fizaka’ Ieho amy anjomba’ i Akabey, le nitendrek’ amo ana-dona’ Iehodao naho amo ana-drahalahi’ i Ahkaziào niatrake i Ahkazià vaho zinama’e.
While Jehu [and the men who were with him] were killing the descendants of Ahab, they found the leaders of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s relatives who had been working for Ahaziah, and they killed all of them.
9 Pinai’e t’i Ahkazià le tsinepa’ iareo—ie nietake e Somerone ao, le nendese’ iereo mb’am’ Ieho mb’eo vaho zinevo’e; le nalente’ iareo, ami’ty asa’ iareo ty hoe; Ana’ Iehosafate re, i mpitsoeke Iehovà an-kaampon’ arofo’ey. Aa le tsy nanan’ ozatse hahafitàñe i fifeheañey ty anjomba’ i Ahkazià.
Then Jehu went to find Ahaziah, and his soldiers found Ahaziah while he was hiding in Samaria [city]. They brought him to Jehu and executed him. Then they buried his corpse, because they said, “[He deserves to be buried, because] he was a descendant of Jehoshaphat, who tried hard to please Yahweh.” There were no descendants of Ahaziah who were powerful enough to become the kings of Judah.
10 Ie nioni’ i Atalià rene’ i Ahkazià te nivetrake i ana’ey le niongake, nanjamañe ze fonga tirim-panjaka añ’ anjomba’ Iehoda ao.
When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
11 Fe rinambe’ Iehosabeate anak’ ampela’ i mpanjakay t’Ioase, ana’ i Ahkazià, le tinonga’e boak’ amo anam-panjaka nizamaneñeo, le nakafi’e rekets’ i mpiatrak’ azey an-toem-piroroañe ao; aa le naeta’ Iehosabeate anak’ ampela’ i mpanjaka vali’ Iehoiada mpisoroñey, (ie rahavave’ i Ahkazià), amy Atalià re vaho tsy vinono.
But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash, Ahaziah’s very young son, away from the other sons of the king who were about to be murdered, and she hid him and his nursemaid in a bedroom in the temple. Because Jehosheba, who was the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of the Supreme Priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child, with the result that Athaliah could not kill him.
12 Naetake am’ iereo añ’anjomban’ Añahare ao enen-taoñe re; naho nifehe i taney t’i Atalià.
He remained hidden there for six years while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
