< 2 Mga Cronica 22 >
1 Hinirang ng mga naninirahan sa Jerusalem si Ahazias na bunsong anak ni Jehoram bilang hari kapalit niya; sapagkat pinatay ng pangkat ng mga kalalakihang dumating sa kampo na kasama ng mga Arabo ang kaniyang mga nakatatandang anak na lalaki. Kaya naging hari si Ahazias na anak ni Jehoram na hari ng Juda.
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 Apatnapu't dalawang taong gulang si Ahazias nang siya ay nagsimulang maghari; naghari siya ng isang taon sa Jerusalem. Ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Atalia; siya ang babaeng anak ni Omri.
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 Siya ay lumakad din sa mga kaparaanan ng sambahayan ni Ahab dahil ang kaniyang ina ang tagapayo sa paggawa ng mga masasamang bagay.
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 Ginawa ni Ahazias ang mga masasamang bagay sa paningin ni Yahweh, tulad ng mga ginagawa ng sambahayan ni Ahab dahil sila ang kaniyang mga naging tagapayo matapos mamatay ang kaniyang ama, sa kaniyang pagkawasak.
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 Sinunod din niya ang kanilang mga payo; sumama siya kay Joram na lalaking anak ni Ahab na hari ng Israel, upang labanan si Hazael na hari ng Aram, sa Ramot-gilead. Nasugatan ng mga taga-Aram si Joram.
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 Si Joram ay bumalik sa Jezreel upang magamot ang kaniyang mga sugat na kaniyang nakuha sa Ramah, nang lumaban siya kay Hazael na hari ng Aram. Kaya si Ahazias na lalaking anak ni Jehoram na hari ng Juda ay bumaba sa Jezreel upang makita si Joram na lalaking anak ni Ahab, dahil si Joram ay sugatan.
Then King Ahaziah went down to Jezreel [city] to see Joram, the son of [King] Ahab, because he had been wounded.
7 Ngayon, ang pagkawasak ni Ahazias ay kalooban ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pagbisita ni Ahazias kay Joram. Nang siya ay dumating, pumunta siya kasama ni Jehoram upang salakayin si Jehu na lalaking anak ni Namsi, ang pinili ni Yahweh upang wasakin ang sambahayan ni Ahab.
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 Nangyari nga, nang dala-dala ni Jehu ang kahatulan sa sambahayan ni Ahab, natagpuan niya ang mga pinuno ng Juda at ang mga lalaking anak ng kapatid ni Ahazias na naglilingkod kay Ahazias. Sila ay pinatay ni Jehu.
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 Hinanap ni Jehu si Ahazias; nahuli nilang nagtatago siya sa Samaria, dinala siya kay Jehu at siya ay pinatay. At siya ay kanilang inilibing, dahil sinabi nila, “Siya ay anak ni Jehoshafat, na buong pusong sumunod kay Yahweh.” Kaya ang sambahayan ni Ahazias ay wala nang kapangyarihan upang mamuno sa kaharian.
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 Ngayon, nang makita ni Atalia, ang ina ni Ahazias, na patay na ang kaniyang anak, kumilos siya at pinatay ang lahat ng anak ng hari sa sambahayan ng Juda.
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 Ngunit si Jehosabet, isang babaeng anak ng hari ay kinuha si Joas, isang lalaking anak ni Ahazias, at matapang niyang tinakas mula sa mga anak ng hari na pinatay. Inilagay siya sa isang silid kasama ang kaniyang tagapag-alaga. Kaya itinago siya ni Jehosabet, isang babaeng anak ni Haring Jehoram, at asawa ng paring si Joiada (sapagkat siya ay kapatid ni Ahazias), mula kay Atalia, kaya hindi siya napatay ni Atalia.
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 Siya ay kasama nila, nakatago sa bahay ng Diyos sa loob ng anim na taon, habang si Atalia ang namumuno sa buong lupain.
He remained hidden there for six years while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
