1 Jerusalem khosa rhoek loh Jehoram capa a noe Ahaziah te anih yueng la a manghai sakuh. Lamhma rhoek te tah rhaehhmuen la Arab rhoek neh aka kun caem loh boeih a ngawn. Te dongah Judah manghai Jehoram capa Ahaziah te manghai.
Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
2 Ahaziah te sawmli kum nit a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum at manghai. A manu ming tah Omri canu Athaliah ni.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 A manu tah anih poehlip sak ham aka uenkung la a om dongah anih khaw Ahab imkhui kah longpuei ah ni a pongpa.
Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
4 Ahab imkhui bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii. Amih te a napa a dueknah hnukah tah anih te kutcaihnah ham anih aka uenkung la om uh.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father.
5 Amih kah cilsuep te a vai van dongah Ramothgilead kah Aram manghai Hazael taengah caemtloek hamla Israel manghai Ahab capa Jehoram te a caeh puei dae Arammi rhoek loh Joram te a ngawn uh.
Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram;
6 Te dongah hmasoe lamloh hoeih hamla Jezreel la mael. Te khaw Aram manghai Hazael te a vathoh vaengah ni anih te Ramah ah a ngawn uh. Te dongah Judah manghai Jehoram capa Azariah tah Ahab capa Jehoram a tloh te sawt hamla Jezreel la suntla.
so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
7 Joram taengla a pawk te Pathen taeng lamloh Ahaziah kah cungkunah a om pah tih a pha neh Nimshi capa Jehu taengla Jehoram te a khuen. Anih te Ahab imkhui saii sak hamla BOEIPA loh a koelh.
Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 Jehu loh Ahab imkhui ah lai a tloek van vaengah tah Judah mangpa rhoek neh Ahaziah taengla aka thotat Ahaziah kah paca boeina te a hmuh uh tih amih te a ngawn.
So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he killed them.
9 Ahaziah te a tlap uh dae Samaria ah a thuh vaengah anih te a tuuk uh. Te phoeiah anih te Jehu taengla a khuen tih a duek sak uh phoeiah a up uh. Te vaengah, “Anih he a thinko boeih neh BOEIPA aka toem Jehoshaphat capa ni,” a ti uh. Te dongah Ahaziah imkhui kah thadueng pakhat khaw ram hamla a nuen moenih.
Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the kingdom.
10 Ahaziah manu Athaliah loh a capa a duek te a hmuh vaengah tah thoo tih ram kah tiingan boeih te Judah imkhui ah a thui.
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.
11 Tedae Joash capa Ahaziah te manghai canu Jehoshabeath loh a loh. Anih te a ngawn uh manghai koca rhoek lakli lamloh a huen tih baiphaih imkhui ah a cakhoem neh anih te a khueh. Anih te khosoih Jehoiada yuu, manghai Jehoram canu Jehoshabeath loh a thuh. Anih te Athaliah mikhmuh lamkah tah Ahaziah ngannu la a om dongah anih te duek sak pawh.
But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so that she could not kill him.
12 Athaliah loh khohmuen a manghai thil vaengah amih neh Pathen im ah om tih kum rhuk thuh uh.
And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
