2 Krønikebok 22
1 So tok Jerusalems-buarne Ahazja, den yngste son hans, til konge i staden hans; for dei eldste hadde røvarflokken drepe som hadde kome til lægret saman med arabarane. Soleis vart Ahazja Joramsson konge i Juda.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Achazyahu his youngest son king in his stead; for the predatory band that was come with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So became Achazyahu, the son of Jehoram the king of Judah, king.
2 Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Ahazja då han vart konge, og eitt år var han konge i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Atalja og var dotter åt Omri.
Forty and two years old was Achazyahu when he became king, and one year did he reign in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Athalyahu the [grand-]daughter of 'Omri.
3 Han gjekk på vegarne åt Ahabs hus; for mor hans forførde honom til gudløysa med råderne sine.
Also he walked in the ways of the house of Achab; for his mother was his counsellor to act wickedly.
4 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Ahabs hus; for til hans eige tjon vart dei rådgjevarene hans etter far hans var avliden.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord like the house of Achab; for these were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.
5 Etter deira råd for han og i herferd saman med Israels-kongen Joram Ahabsson, imot syrarkongen Hazael ved Ramot i Gilead. Men syrarane særde Joram.
He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Achab the king of Israel to war against Chazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-gil'ad: and the Syrians smote Joram.
6 Då snudde han attende og vilde få lækt dei såri i Jizre’el som dei hadde gjeve honom ved Rama, då han stridde med syrarkongen Hazael. Og Azarja, kongen i Juda, son åt Joram, drog ned til Jizre’el og vilde sjå um Joram Ahabsson, av di han var sjuk.
And he returned to be healed in Yizre'el because of the wounds which had been given him at Ramah, when he fought with Chazael the king of Syria. And 'Azaryahu the son of Jehoram the king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Achab at Yizre'el, because he was sick.
7 Men til undergang for Ahazja hadde Gud laga det so, at han skulde koma til Joram, og når han kom, skulde han draga ut med Joram imot Jehu Nimsison, som Herren hadde salva til å øyda ut Ahabs hus.
But from God was the confusion of Achazyahu that he should come to Joram: and when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to cut off the house of Achab.
8 For då Jehu sette i verk domen yver Ahabs hus, då råka han hovdingarne i Juda og brorsønerne åt Ahazja, som gjekk Ahazja til handa, og han drap deim.
And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Achab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Achazyahu, that ministered to Achazyahu, and he slew them.
9 So leita han etter Ahazja, og dei greip honom då han gøymde seg i Samaria, og leidde honom til Jehu, som let honom drepa. Like vel gravlagde dei honom; for dei kom i hug at han var son åt Josafat, som heldt seg til Herren med heile sitt hjarta. Men det var ingen att av huset åt Ahazja som var sterk nok til å taka kongedømet.
And he sought Achazyahu, and they caught him while he was hiding himself in Samaria, and they brought him to Jehu, and they slew him, and buried him; because they said, He is son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was none of the house of Achazyahu who had sufficient power [to obtain] the kingdom.
10 Då Atalja, mor åt Ahazja, fekk vita at son hennar var dåen, tok ho seg fyre å tyna heile kongsætti i Judas hus.
And when 'Athalyahu the mother of Achazyahu saw that her son was dead, she arose and exterminated all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
11 Men Josabat, dotter åt kongen, tok Joas Ahazjason, og fekk honom burt ifrå kongssønerne, som var drepne, og fekk honom og fostermor hans inn i sengkammerset. Soleis gøymde Josabat, dotter åt kong Joram og kona åt presten Jojada - for ho var syster åt Ahazja - honom for Atalja, so ho fekk ikkje drepe honom.
But Yehoshab'ath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Achazyahu, and stole him away from the midst of the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse into the bed-chamber. So did Yehoshab'ath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Yehoyada' the priest, —for she was the sister of Achazyahu, —hide him from 'Athalyahu, so that she slew him not.
12 So var han hjå deim i Guds hus burtgøymd i seks år, medan Atalja styrde i landet.
And he was with them in the house of God hidden six years, while 'Athalyah was reigning over the land.
