Ii Paralipomenon 22
1 Constituerunt autem habitatores Ierusalem Ochoziam filium eius minimum, regem pro eo: omnes enim maiores natu, qui ante eum fuerant, interfecerant latrones Arabum, qui irruerant in castra: regnavitque Ochozias filius Ioram regis Iuda.
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 Quadraginta duorum annorum erat Ochozias cum regnare cœpisset, et uno anno regnavit in Ierusalem, et nomen matris eius Athalia filia Amri.
Twenty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 Sed et ipse ingressus est per vias domus Achab: mater enim eius impulit eum ut impie ageret.
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
4 Fecit igitur malum in conspectu Domini, sicut domus Achab: ipsi enim fuerunt ei consiliarii post mortem patris sui, in interitum eius.
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of Yhwh like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.
5 Ambulavitque in consiliis eorum. Et perrexit cum Ioram filio Achab rege Israel, in bellum contra Hazael regem Syriæ in Ramoth Galaad: vulneraveruntque Syri Ioram.
He walked also after 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 smote Joram.
6 Qui reversus est ut curaretur in Iezrahel: multas enim plagas acceperat in supradicto certamine. Igitur Ochozias filius Ioram rex Iuda, descendit ut inviseret Ioram filium Achab in Iezrahel ægrotantem.
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
7 Voluntatis quippe fuit Dei adversus Ochoziam, ut veniret ad Ioram: et cum venisset, et egrederetur cum eo adversum Iehu filium Namsi, quem unxit Dominus ut deleret domum Achab.
And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Yhwh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8 Cum ergo everteret Iehu domum Achab, invenit principes Iuda, et filios fratrum Ochoziæ, qui ministrabant ei, et interfecit illos.
And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.
9 Ipsum quoque perquirens Ochoziam, comprehendit latitantem in Samaria: adductumque ad se, occidit, et sepelierunt eum: eo quod esset filius Iosaphat, qui quæsierat Dominum in toto corde suo. Nec erat ultra spes aliqua ut de stirpe quis regnaret Ochoziæ.
And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria, ) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yhwh with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
10 Siquidem Athalia mater eius videns quod mortuus esset filius suus, surrexit, et interfecit omnem stirpem regiam domus Ioram.
But 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 Porro Iosabeth filia regis tulit Ioas filium Ochoziæ, et furata est eum de medio filiorum regis, cum interficerentur: absconditque eum cum nutrice sua in cubiculo lectulorum: Iosabeth autem, quæ absconderat eum, erat filia regis Ioram, uxor Ioiadæ pontificis, soror Ochoziæ, et idcirco Athalia non interfecit eum.
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. 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 Fuit ergo cum eis in domo Dei absconditus sex annis, quibus regnavit Athalia super terram.
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
