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 Ochozias his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of robbers that came against them, even the Arabians and the Alimazonians, had slain all the elder ones. So Ochozias son of Joram king of Juda 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.
Ochozias began to reign when he was twenty years old, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Gotholia, the daughter of Ambri.
3 Han vandrade ock uti Achabs hus vägar; ty hans moder höll honom dertill, att han skulle göra det ondt var.
And he walked in the way of the house of Achaab; for his mother was his counsellor to do evil.
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 the house of Achaab [had done]: for they were his counselors 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;
And he walked in their counsels, and he went with Joram son of Achaab king of Israel to war against Azael king of Syria to Ramoth Galaad: and the archers struck 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 Joram returned to Jezrael to be healed of the wounds wherewith the Syrians struck him in Ramoth, when he fought against Azael king of Syria. And Ochozias son of Joram, king of Juda, went down to see Joram the son of Achaab at Jezrael 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.
And destruction from God came upon Ochozias in [his] coming to Joram; for when he had come, Joram went out with him against Jeu the son of Namessei, the anointed of the Lord against the house of Achaab.
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 Jeu was taking vengeance on the house of Achaab, that he found the princes of Juda and the brethren of Ochozias ministering to Ochozias, and he killed 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 gave orders to seek Ochozias: and they took him while he was healing his wounds in Samaria, and they brought him to Jeu, and he killed him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Josaphat, who sought the Lord with all his heart. So there was none in the house of Ochozias to secure their power in 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.
And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she arose and destroyed all the seed royal in the house of Juda.
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 Josabeeth, the daughter of the king, took Joas the son of Ochozias and rescued him secretly out of the midst of the sons of the king that were put to death, and she placed him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Josabeeth daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, wife of Jodae the priest, hid him, and she [even] hid him from Gotholia, and she did not kill him.
12 Och han var med dem i Guds hus fördold i sex år, medan Athalja regerade i landena.
And he was with him hid in the house of God six years; and Gotholia reigned over the land.
