2 Seenaa 22
1 Sababii Saamtonni Araboota wajjin qubata loltootaa seenan sun ilmaan isaa hangafoota hunda fixaniif namoonni Yerusaalem Ahaaziyaa ilma Yehooraam sana iddoo isaa buusanii mootii godhan. Kanaafuu Ahaaziyaa ilmi Yehooraam mooticha Yihuudaa sun mootii taʼee bulchuu ni jalqabe.
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 Ahaaziyaa yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa tokko ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Ataaliyaa dha; isheenis intala ilma Omrii turte.
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 Innis sababii haati isaa akka inni dogoggora hojjetu isa jajjabeessaa turteef karaa mana Ahaab duukaa buʼe.
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 Sababii manni Ahaab erga abbaan isaa duʼee booddee gorsitoota isaa taʼuudhaan gara yakka hojjechuutti isa oofaniif, innis akkuma manni Ahaab godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
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 Inni yeroo Yehooraam ilma Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel wajjin Raamooti Giliʼaaditti Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraam loluudhaaf duuletti gorsuma isaanii duukaa buʼe. Warri Arraamis Yooraamin ni madeessan;
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 kanaafuu inni madaa isaan yeroo inni Raamaat keessatti Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraam wajjin wal loletti isa madeessan sana fayyuuf jedhee Yizriʼeelitti deebiʼe. Kana irratti Ahaaziyaan ilmi Yooraam mootichi Yihuudaa sababii inni madaaʼee tureef Yehooraam ilma Ahaab arguuf gara Yizriʼeelitti gad buʼe.
Then King Ahaziah went down to Jezreel [city] to see Joram, the son of [King] Ahab, because he had been wounded.
7 Sababii inni Yehooraamin gaafachuu dhaqeef Waaqni Ahaaziyaatti badiisa fide. Ahaaziyaan yommuu achi gaʼetti Yehuu ilma Nimshii sana simachuuf Yooraam wajjin gad baʼe. Yehuun immoo nama Waaqayyo akka inni mana Ahaab balleessuuf dibee dha.
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 Yehuun utuu mana Ahaabitti muraa jiruu qondaaltota Yihuudaa fi ilmaan firoota Ahaaziyaa kanneen Ahaaziyaa tajaajilaa turan argee isaan ni galaafate.
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 Ergasii immoo inni Ahaaziyaa barbaacha ni deeme; namoonni Yehuus Samaariyaadhaa iddoo inni itti dhokatee turee qabanii Yehuutti fidanii isa ni ajjeesan. Isaanis, “Inni ilma Yehooshaafaax namicha garaa guutuudhaan Waaqayyoon barbaade sanaa ti” jedhanii isa ni awwaalan. Kanaafuu mana Ahaaziyaa keessaa namni aangoo mootummaa qabachuu dandaʼu tokko illee hin turre.
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 Ataaliyaan haati Ahaaziyaa yommuu akka ilmi ishee duʼe argitetti kaatee maatii mana mootii Yihuudaa guutumaan guutuutti balleessite.
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 Yehooshebaati intalli Yehooraam Mootichaa garuu ilmaan moototaa kanneen ajjeefamuuf turan keessaa Yooʼaash ilma Ahaaziyaa hattee fudhachuudhaan guddiftuu isaa wajjin dinqatti ni dhoksite. Yoshabeti intalli Iyyooraam Mootichaa, niitiin Yehooyaadaa lubichaa sun obboleettii Ahaaziyaa turte; isheenis akka Ataaliyaan isa hin ajjeefneef mucaa sana dhoksite.
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 Innis bara Ataaliyaan biyya bulchaa turte hunda isaan wajjin mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessatti dhokfamee waggaa jaʼa jiraate.
He remained hidden there for six years while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
