2 Whakapapa 22
1 A meinga ana e nga tangata o Hiruharama a Ahatia tana tama whakaotinga hei kingi i muri i a ia: i patua hoki nga tuakana katoa e te taua i haere mai nei i nga Arapi ki te puni. Heoi ka kingi a Ahatia, te tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura.
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 E wha tekau ma rua nga tau o Ahatia i tona kingitanga, a kotahi te tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Ataria, he tamahine na Omori.
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 I haere ano ia i nga ara o te whare o Ahapa: ko tona whaea hoki tona kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro mo te mahi he.
Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
4 Na mahia ana e ia te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, i pera me te whare o Ahapa. Ko ratou hoki ona kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro i muri i te matenga o tona papa, hei ngaromanga mona.
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 Na haere ana ia i runga i to ratou whakaaro. I haere tahi ano raua ko Iehorama tama a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira ki te whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria, ki Ramoto Kireara; na kua tu a Iorama i nga Hiriani.
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 A hoki ana ia ki Ietereere kia rongoatia nga tunga i tu ai ia ki Rama, i tana whawhai ki a Hataere kingi o Hiria. Na ko te haerenga mai o Ataria tama a Iehorama kingi o Hura kia kite i a Iehorama tama a Ahapa ki Ietereere, e mate ana hoki ia.
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 Na, ko te whakangaromanga i a Ahatia, na te Atua, no tona haerenga ki a Iorama. I tona taenga hoki, ka puta raua ko Iehorama ki te tu i a Iehu tama a Nimihi, i whakawahia nei e Ihowa hei hatepe i te whare o Ahapa.
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 A, i a Iehu e whakawa ana ki te whare o Ahapa, ka tutaki ia ki nga rangatira o Hura, ratou ko nga tama a nga tuakana o Ahatia, e mahi ana ki a Ahatia: na patua iho ratou e ia.
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 Na ka rapua a Ahatia e ia, a ka mau i a ratou; i te piri hoki i Hamaria. Na ka kawea ki a Iehu, a whakamatea iho, tanumia iho; i ki hoki ratou, He tama ia na Iehohapata, na te tangata i whakapaua nei tona ngakau ki te rapu i a Ihowa. Na kore ake he kaha o te whare o Ahatia ki te pupuri i te kingitanga.
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 A, no te kitenga o Ataria whaea o Ahatia, kua mate tana tama, whakatika ana ia, a whakangaromia ana e ia nga uri kingi katoa o te whare o Hura.
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 Otiia tangohia ana e Iehohapeata, tamahine a te kingi, a Ioaha tama a Ahatia, he mea mau huna atu i roto i nga tama a te kingi i whakamatea ra, kawea atu ana raua ko tona kaihiki ki te whare moenga. Na huna ana ia e Iehohapeata tamahine a Kingi Iehorama, wahine a Iehoiara tohunga, he tuahine ano ia no Ahatia, te kitea e Ataria, i kore ai e whakamatea e ia.
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 Na i a ratou ia e huna ana i te whare o te Atua, e ono tau; na ko Ataria te kuini o te whenua.
And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
