2 Whakapapa 22
1 A meinga ana e nga tangata o Hiruharama a Ahatia tana tama whakaotinga hei kingi i muri i a ia: i patua hoki nga tuakana katoa e te taua i haere mai nei i nga Arapi ki te puni. Heoi ka kingi a Ahatia, te tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura.
The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 E wha tekau ma rua nga tau o Ahatia i tona kingitanga, a kotahi te tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ataria, he tamahine na Omori.
Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 I haere ano ia i nga ara o te whare o Ahapa: ko tona whaea hoki tona kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro mo te mahi he.
He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counselor in acting wickedly.
4 Na mahia ana e ia te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, i pera me te whare o Ahapa. Ko ratou hoki ona kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro i muri i te matenga o tona papa, hei ngaromanga mona.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Na haere ana ia i runga i to ratou whakaaro. I haere tahi ano raua ko Iehorama tama a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira ki te whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria, ki Ramoto Kireara; na kua tu a Iorama i nga Hiriani.
He also followed their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 A hoki ana ia ki Ietereere kia rongoatia nga tunga i tu ai ia ki Rama, i tana whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria. Na ko te haerenga mai o Ataria tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura kia kite i a Iehorama tama a Ahapa ki Ietereere, e mate ana hoki ia.
He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
7 Na, ko te whakangaromanga i a Ahatia, na te Atua, no tona haerenga ki a Iorama. I tona taenga hoki, ka puta raua ko Iehorama ki te tu i a Iehu tama a Nimihi, i whakawahia nei e Ihowa hei hatepe i te whare o Ahapa.
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram; for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house.
8 A, i a Iehu e whakawa ana ki te whare o Ahapa, ka tutaki ia ki nga rangatira o Hura, ratou ko nga tama a nga tuakana o Ahatia, e mahi ana ki a Ahatia: na patua iho ratou e ia.
When Jehu was executing judgment on Ahab’s house, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah serving Ahaziah, and killed them.
9 Na ka rapua a Ahatia e ia, a ka mau i a ratou; i te piri hoki i Hamaria. Na ka kawea ki a Iehu, a whakamatea iho, tanumia iho; i ki hoki ratou, He tama ia na Iehohapata, na te tangata i whakapaua nei tona ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa. Na kore ake he kaha o te whare o Ahatia ki te pupuri i te kingitanga.
He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
10 A, no te kitenga o Ataria whaea o Ahatia, kua mate tana tama, whakatika ana ia, a whakangaromia ana e ia nga uri kingi katoa o te whare o Hura.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.
11 Otiia tangohia ana e Iehohapeata, tamahine a te kingi, a Ioaha tama a Ahatia, he mea mau huna atu i roto i nga tama a te kingi i whakamatea ra, kawea atu ana raua ko tona kaihiki ki te whare moenga. Na huna ana ia e Iehohapeata tamahine a Kingi Iehorama, wahine a Iehoiara tohunga, he tuahine ano ia no Ahatia, te kitea e Ataria, i kore ai e whakamatea e ia.
But Jehoshabeath, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from among the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she didn’t kill him.
12 Na i a ratou ia e huna ana i te whare o te Atua, e ono tau; na ko Ataria te kuini o te whenua.
He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
