1 Kutu mwet Arabia tuku orek lokoalok, ac uniya wen natul Tokosra Jehoram nukewa sayal Ahaziah, su fusr oemeet. Ouinge mwet Jerusalem elos sraklalak Ahaziah tuh elan tokosra aol papa tumal ah.
The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, because the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the oldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 Ahaziah el yac longoul luo ke el mutawauk in tokosra, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke lusen yac se. Nina kial pa Athaliah, acn nutin natul Tokosra Omri lun Israel.
Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 Ahaziah el oayapa fahsr tukun ouiya lun mwet in sou lal Tokosra Ahab, ke sripen nina kial ah sang kas in kasru koluk nu sel.
He also walked in the ways of Ahab’s house, because his mother was his counsellor in acting wickedly.
4 El oru ma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD, mweyen tukun papa tumal ah misa, el sulela kutu mwet in sou lal Ahab tuh elos in mwet pwapa lal, na kas in kasru lalos kolol nu ke kunausten.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 Ke sripen kas lalos nu sel, el tuh welulang Tokosra Joram lun Israel, ac mweun nu sel Tokosra Hazael lun Syria. U luo inge amweuni upa na in acn Ramoth in Gilead, na Joram el kineta ke mweun ah.
He also followed their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 El folokla nu in siti Jezreel in tuh kwela liki kinet kacl ah, ac Ahaziah el som nu we in osun nu sel.
He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
7 God El oru tuh mutwata se lal Ahaziah nu yorol Joram inge in oru tuh Ahaziah in munaslana. Ke el muta yorol Joram, oasr mwet se som in osun nu seltal, ac inel pa Jehu, wen natul Nimshi. LEUM GOD El sulella Jehu tuh in el pa kunausla fwilin mwet leum ke sou lal Ahab.
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram; for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off Ahab’s house.
8 Ke Jehu el fahsr in oru ma God El supwalla nu kac inge, el sun un mwet kol se lun mwet Judah, wi kutu wen nutin tamulel lal Ahaziah su welul Ahaziah ke fahsr se ine. Jehu el onelosla nukewa.
When Jehu was executing judgement on Ahab’s house, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah serving Ahaziah, and killed them.
9 Sukok Ahaziah nwe koneyukyak tuh el nu wikwik Samaria. Elos usalla nu yorol Jehu ac unilya. Tusruktu elos pikinya manol ke sripal Tokosra Jehoshaphat, papa matu tumal, su sang kuiyal nufon in orekma nu sin LEUM GOD. Ouinge wanginla mwet in sou lal Ahaziah in leumi tokosrai sac tokol.
He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
10 In pacl se na Athaliah, nina kial Tokosra Ahaziah, el lohngak lah wen se natul ah anwuki, el sap in anwukla nufon sou lun leum fin acn Judah.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.
11 Oasr sie mutan wial Ahaziah, su inel pa Jehosheba, ac el payuk sel Jehoiada, sie mwet tol. Mutan se inge el som in lukma ac eisal Joash, sie sin wen natul Ahaziah, ac usalla liki fisrak wial su akoeyuk in anwuki. El usalla fililya ke sie infukil in Tempul, wi mutan to se lal. Ke sripen el okanulla ouinge, pwanang tulik sac moul, ac Athaliah el tia unilya.
But Jehoshabeath, the king’s daughter, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stealthily rescued him from amongst the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. 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 didn’t kill him.
12 Joash el wikinyukla we ke yac onkosr, ke pacl Athaliah el leumi acn we.
He was with them hidden in God’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
