2 Krönikeboken 22
1 Och de i Jerusalem gjorde till Konung Ahasia hans yngsta son, i hans stad; förty krigsfolket, som utaf de Araber med här kommo, hade de första alla ihjälslagit; derföre vardt Ahasia Konung, Jorams son, Juda Konungs.
And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.
2 Tu och fyratio år gammal var Ahasia, då han Konung vardt, och regerade ett år i Jerusalem. Hans moder het Athalja, Amri dotter.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
3 Han vandrade ock uti Achabs hus vägar; ty hans moder höll honom dertill, att han skulle göra det ondt var.
He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, for his mother was his teacher in evil-doing.
4 Derföre gjorde han det Herranom icke behagade, såsom Achabs hus; ty de voro hans rådgifvare efter hans faders död, så att de förderfvade honom.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the family of Ahab did; for after the death of his father they were his guides to his destruction.
5 Och han vandrade efter deras råd, och han drog bort med Joram, Achabs son, Israels Konung, i strid, till Ramoth i Gilead, emot Hasael, Konungen i Syrien. Men de i Rama slogo Joram;
Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.
6 Så att han omvände, till att låta läka sig i Jisreel; förty han hade sår, som han fått hade i Rama, då han stridde med Hasael, Konungen i Syrien. Och Asaria, Jorams son, Juda Konungs, for ned till att bese Joram, Achabs son, i Jisreel, som krank låg.
And he went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Jehoram, the son of Ahab, because he was ill.
7 Ty den ofärden var så af Gudi Ahasia tillfogad, att han skulle komma till Joram, och så med Joram utdraga emot Jehu, Nimsi son, hvilken Herren smort hade, till att utrota Achabs hus.
Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.
8 Då nu Jehu höll uppå att straffa Achabs hus, fann han några öfverstar af Juda, och Ahasia bröders barn, som tjente, och drap dem.
Now when Jehu was effecting the punishment of the family of Ahab, he came to the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, the servants of Ahaziah, and put them to death.
9 Och han sökte Ahasia, och fick honom fatt, der han sig undstungit hade i Samarien; och han vardt hafder fram för Jehu. Han drap honom, och man begrof honom; ty de sade: Han är Josaphats son, hvilken efter Herran sökte af allt hjerta. Och var sedan ingen qvar utaf Ahasia huse, som Konung kunde varda.
And he went in search of Ahaziah; and when they came where he was, (for he was in a secret place in Samaria, ) they took him to Jehu and put him to death; then they put his body to rest in the earth, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, whose heart was true to the Lord. So the family of Ahaziah had no power to keep the kingdom.
10 Då nu Athalja, Ahasia moder, såg att hennes son död var, stod hon upp, och förgjorde all Konungslig säd i Juda hus.
Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom of Judah put to death.
11 Men Josabeath, Konungens dotter, tog Johas, Ahasia son, och stal honom undan ibland Konungsbarnen, som dräpne vordo, och lät honom med hans ammo uti en sängakammar. Alltså fördolde honom för Athalja Josabeath, Konung Jorams dotter, Prestens Jojada hustru; ty hon var Ahasia syster; att han icke dräpen vardt.
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him and the woman who took care of him in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, kept him safe from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.
12 Och han var med dem i Guds hus fördold i sex år, medan Athalja regerade i landena.
And she kept him safe with her in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah was ruling the land.
