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.
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
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.
Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name 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.
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
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 he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, 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.
He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead; and the Arameans 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 to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
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.
Now the downfall of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram; for 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 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.
And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.
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.
And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him — now he was hiding in Samaria — and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said: 'He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.' And there was none of the house of Ahaziah that had power to hold the kingdom.
10 Toda ko je Ahazjájeva mati Ataljá videla, da je bil njen sin mrtev, je vstala in uničila vse kraljeve potomce Judove hiše.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
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 Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bed-chamber. 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 slew him not.
12 Šest let je bil z njimi skrit v Božji hiši, Ataljá pa je kraljevala nad deželo.
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.
