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 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 Tu och fyratio år gammal var Ahasia, då han Konung vardt, och regerade ett år i Jerusalem. Hans moder het Athalja, Amri dotter.
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 Han vandrade ock uti Achabs hus vägar; ty hans moder höll honom dertill, att han skulle göra det ondt var.
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
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 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 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;
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 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 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 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 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 Då nu Jehu höll uppå att straffa Achabs hus, fann han några öfverstar af Juda, och Ahasia bröders barn, som tjente, och drap dem.
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 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 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 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 arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
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, 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 Och han var med dem i Guds hus fördold i sex år, medan Athalja regerade i landena.
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.
