Ii Paralipomenon 22
1 constituerunt autem habitatores Hierusalem Ochoziam filium eius minimum regem pro eo omnes enim maiores natu qui ante eum fuerant interfecerant latrones Arabum qui inruerant in castra regnavitque Ochozias filius Ioram regis Iuda
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 filius quadraginta duo annorum erat Ochozias cum regnare coepisset et uno anno regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Otholia filia Amri
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 sed et ipse ingressus est per vias domus Ahab mater enim eius inpulit eum ut impie ageret
Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
4 fecit igitur malum in conspectu Domini sicut domus Ahab ipsi enim fuerunt ei consiliarii post mortem patris sui in interitum eius
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 ambulavitque in consiliis eorum et perrexit cum Ioram filio Ahab rege Israhel in bellum contra Azahel regem Syriae in Ramoth Galaad vulneraveruntque Syri Ioram
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 qui reversus est ut curaretur in Hiezrahel multas enim plagas acceperat in supradicto certamine igitur Azarias filius Ioram rex Iuda descendit ut inviseret Ioram filium Ahab in Hiezrahel aegrotantem
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 voluntatis quippe fuit Dei adversum Ochoziam ut veniret ad Ioram et cum venisset egrederetur cum eo adversum Hieu filium Namsi quem unxit Dominus ut deleret domum Ahab
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 cum ergo subverteret Hieu domum Ahab invenit principes Iuda et filios fratrum Ochoziae qui ministrabant ei et interfecit illos
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 ipsumque perquirens Ochoziam conprehendit latentem in Samaria adductumque ad se occidit et sepelierunt eum eo quod esset filius Iosaphat qui quaesierat Dominum in toto corde suo nec erat ultra spes aliqua ut de stirpe regnaret Ochoziae
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 siquidem Otholia mater eius videns quod mortuus esset filius suus surrexit et interfecit omnem stirpem regiam domus Ioram
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 porro Iosabeth filia regis tulit Ioas filium Ochoziae et furata est eum de medio filiorum regis cum interficerentur absconditque cum nutrice sua in cubiculo lectulorum Iosabeth autem quae absconderat eum erat filia regis Ioram uxor Ioiadae pontificis soror Ochoziae et idcirco Otholia non interfecit eum
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 fuit ergo cum eis in domo Dei absconditus sex annis quibus regnavit Otholia super terram
And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
