¹And 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.

¹In prebivalci jeruzalemski so postavili Ahazija [Isto ime kakor „Joahaz“.], njegovega najmlajšega sina, za kralja na mestu njegovem; zakaj vse starejše je umorila četa, ki je bila prišla z Arabci v tabor. Tako je zakraljeval Ahazija, sin Jorama, kralja Judovega.

²Forty 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.

²Dvainštirideset let je bil star Ahazija, ko je zavladal, in vladal je eno leto v Jeruzalemu. In materi njegovi je bilo ime Atalija, hči Omrijeva.

³He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.

³Tudi on je hodil po potih hiše Ahabove, kajti mati njegova mu je bila svetovalka, da bi ravnal brezbožno.

⁴Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counselors after the death of his father to his destruction.

⁴Delal je torej, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, kakor je delala hiša Ahabova; zakaj ti so mu bili svetovalci po smrti očeta njegovega, njemu v pogubo.

⁵He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.

⁵On je tudi ravnal po njih svetu, in je šel z Joramom, sinom Ahabovim, kraljem Izraelovim, v boj zoper Hazaela, kralja sirskega, pri Ramotu v Gileadu. In Sirci so ranili Jorama.

⁶And 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.

⁶In vrnil se je, da bi mu celili v Jezreelu rane, ki so mu jih vsekali pri Rami, ko se je bojeval zoper Hazaela, kralja sirskega. In Ahazija, sin Jorama, kralja Judovega, je šel doli obiskat Jorama, sina Ahabovega, v Jezreelu, ker je bil bolan.

⁷And 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 the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

⁷To pa je bilo od Boga, v pogubo Ahazijevo, da je šel k Joramu. Zakaj ko je bil dospel, je šel z Joramom naproti Jehuju, sinu Nimsijevemu, ki ga je bil pomazilil GOSPOD, da iztrebi hišo Ahabovo.

⁸And 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.

⁸In zgodi se, ko je Jehu izvrševal sodbo na hiši Ahabovi, da zaloti poglavarje Judove in sinove bratov Ahazijevih, ki so stregli Ahaziju, ter jih pomori.

⁹And 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 the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

⁹Iskal je tudi Ahazija, in ujeli so ga (skrival se je namreč v Samariji) in pripeljali k Jehuju, ki ga je umoril; in pokopali so ga, kajti dejali so: On je sin Josafatov, ki je iskal GOSPODA iz vsega srca. In ni bilo nikogar več iz hiše Ahazijeve, ki bi imel moč vzdržati kraljestvo.

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰Ko pa je videla Atalija, mati Ahazijeva, da je njen sin mrtev, vstane in pomori vse kraljevo seme hiše Judove.

¹¹But 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.

¹¹Ali Josabata, hči kraljeva, vzame Joasa, sina Ahazijevega, in ga ukrade izmed kraljevih sinov, ki so jih morili, in potisne njega in njegovo pestunjo v spalnico. Tako ga je Josabata, hči kralja Jorama, žena Jojada duhovnika (zakaj bila je sestra Ahazijeva), skrila pred Atalijo, da ni bil umorjen.In bil je ž njimi skrit v hiši Božji šest let. Atalija pa je gospodovala deželi.

¹²And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

¹²In bil je ž njimi skrit v hiši Božji šest let. Atalija pa je gospodovala deželi.
