2 Kroniška 22
1 Prebivalci Jeruzalema so namesto njega za kralja postavili njegovega najmlajšega sina Ahazjája, kajti četa mož, ki je prišla z Arabci k taboru, je umorila vse starejše. Tako je zakraljeval Ahazjá, sin Judovega kralja Jehoráma.
Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.
2 Ahazjá je bil star dvainštirideset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval eno leto. Ime njegove matere je bilo Ataljá, Omrijeva hči.
Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
3 Tudi on je hodil po poteh Ahábove hiše, kajti njegova mati je bila njegova svetovalka, da počne zlobno.
But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.
4 Zaradi česar je počel zlo v Gospodovih očeh, kakor Ahábova hiša, kajti bili so njegovi svetovalci po smrti njegovega očeta, njemu v uničenje.
And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.
5 Hodil je tudi po njihovem nasvetu in odšel z Ahábovim sinom Jehorámom, Izraelovim kraljem, da se vojskuje zoper sirskega kralja Hazaéla pri Ramót Gileádu. Sirci pa so udarili Joráma.
And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 Vrnil se je, da bi bil ozdravljen v Jezreélu, zaradi ran, ki so mu bile zadane pri Rami, ko se je boril s sirskim kraljem Hazaélom. In Azarjá, Jehorámov sin, Judov kralj, je odšel dol, da pogleda Ahábovega sina Jehoráma pri Jezreélu, ker je bil bolan.
And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.
7 To je bilo od Boga, da je prišlo k Ahazjáju uničenje, da je šel k Jehorámu, kajti ko je prišel, je z Jehorámom odšel ven zoper Nimšíjevega sina Jehúja, ki ga je Gospod mazilil, da iztrebi Ahábovo hišo.
Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 Pripetilo se je, da ko je Jehú izvrševal sodbo nad Ahábovo hišo in našel Judove prince in sinove Ahazjájevih bratov, da služijo Ahazjáju, jih je usmrtil.
Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.
9 Iskal je Ahazjá, in ujeli so ga (kajti skrit je bil v Samariji) ter ga privedli k Jehúju. Ko so ga umorili, so ga pokopali: »Ker, « so rekli, »on je Józafatov sin, ki je z vsem svojim srcem iskal Gospoda.« Tako Ahazjájeva hiša ni imela moči, da kraljestvo obdrži mirno.
Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.
10 Toda ko je Ahazjájeva mati Ataljá videla, da je bil njen sin mrtev, je vstala in uničila vse kraljeve potomce Judove hiše.
For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.
11 Toda kraljeva hči Jošébah je vzela Ahazjájevega sina Joáša in ga ukradla izmed kraljevih sinov, ki so bili umorjeni in postavila njega ter njegovo dojiljo v spalnico. Tako ga je Jošébah, hči kralja Jehoráma, žena duhovnika Jojadája (kajti bila je Ahazjájeva sestra) skrila pred Ataljo, tako da ga ta ni usmrtila.
But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.
12 Šest let je bil z njimi skrit v Božji hiši, Ataljá pa je kraljevala nad deželo.
Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
