< २ इतिहास 22 >

1 यरूशलेमका बासिन्‍दाहरूले यहोरामको सट्टामा तिनका कान्‍छा छोरा अहज्‍याहलाई राजा बनाए, किनकि आक्रमणमा अरबीहरूसित मिलेर आएका मानिसका झुण्डले तिनका सबै ठुला छोरालाई मारेका थिए । यसैले यहूदाका राजा यहोरामका छोरा अहज्‍याह राजा भए ।
Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
2 अहज्याह ले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बाईस वर्षका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा एक वर्ष राज्‍य गरे । तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अतल्‍याह थियो । तिनी ओम्रीकी छोरी थिइन्‌ ।
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 तिनी पनि आहाबको घरानाका चालमा हिंडे, किनकि दुष्‍ट कुराहरू गर्नलाई तिनकी आमा सल्‍लाहकार थिइन् ।
Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
4 आहाबको घरानाले गरेझैं अहज्याहले परमप्रभुको दृष्‍टिमा जे खराब थियो सो गरे, किनकि तिनका बुबाको मृत्‍युपछि तिनीहरू नै तिनको पतन गराउने सल्‍लाहकारहरू थिए ।
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father.
5 तिनीहरूका सल्लाहको अनुसरण पनि तिनले गरे । तिनी इस्राएलका राजा आहाबका छोरा योरामसित मिलेर रामोत-गिलादमा अरामका राजा हजाएलको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गर्न गए । अरामीहरूले योरामलाई घाइते बनाए ।
Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram;
6 रामोतमा अरामका राजा हजाएलसँग भएको युद्धमा पाएको चोटबाट निको हुन तिनी यिजरेलमा फर्केर गए । यसैले यहूदाका राजा यहोरामका छोरा अहज्‍याह योरामलाई हेर्न भनी यिजरेलमा गए, किनभने योराम घाइते भएका थिए ।
so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
7 अहज्‍याहले योरामलाई भेटेको कारण परमप्रभुले अहज्याहको पतन ल्याउनुभयो । जब तिनी आइपुगेका थिए, तब तिनी योरामसँग निम्‍शीका छोरा येहूलाई आक्रमण गर्न गए, जसलाई परमप्रभुले आहाबको घरानालाई नाश गर्नको निम्ति रोज्‍नुभएको थियो ।
Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 यस्‍तो भयो, जब येहूले आहाबको घरानामाथि परमेश्‍वरको न्‍याय पूरा गर्दै थिए, तब यहूदाका अगुवाहरू र अहज्‍याहका दाजुहरूका छोराहरूले अहज्‍याहको सेवा गरिरहेको तिनले भेट्टाए । येहूले तिनीहरूलाई मारे ।
So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he killed them.
9 येहूले अहज्‍याहलाई खोजे । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सामरियामा लुकिरहेको अवस्थामा समाते, तिनलाई येहूकहाँ ल्‍याए र तिनलाई मारे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले तिनलाई गाडे, किनकि तिनीहरूले भने, “यिनी आफ्‍नो पूरा हृदयले परमप्रभुलाई खोज्‍ने यहोशापातका छोरा हुन्‌ ।” यसरी राज्‍यमा शासन गर्नलाई अहज्‍याहका घरानासँग फेरि कुनै शक्ति बाँकी रहेन ।
Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the kingdom.
10 अब अहज्‍याहकी आमा अतल्‍याहले आफ्‍ना छोरा मरेका देखिन्, तिनी उठिन् र यहूदाका सारा राजकीय सन्तानहरूलाई मारिन् ।
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.
11 तर राजाकी छोरी यहोशेबाले अहज्‍याहका छोरा योआशलाई मारिन लागेका राजाका छोराहरूका बिचबाट सुटुक्‍क भगाएर लगिन् । तिनले त्यसलाई र त्‍यसकी धाईआमालाई एउटा सुत्‍ने कोठाभित्र राखिन्‌ । यहोराम राजाकी छोरी र पुजारी यहोयादाकी पत्‍नी यहोशेबाले (किनकि तिनी अहज्‍याहकी दिदी थिइन्) योआशलाई अतल्‍याहको हातबाट लुकाइराखिन्, ताकि अतल्‍याहले त्‍यसलाई मार्न पाइनन्‌ ।
But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put 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 that she could not kill him.
12 अतल्‍याहले देशमा राज्‍य गर्दा तिनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा छ वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूसँगै लुकाएर राखिए ।
And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
