1وملك سكان اورشليم اخزيا ابنه الاصغر عوضا عنه لان جميع الاولين قتلهم الغزاة الذين جاءوا مع العرب الى المحلّة. فملك اخزيا بن يهورام ملك يهوذا
1The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place; for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2كان اخزيا ابن اثنتين واربعين سنة حين ملك وملك سنة واحدة في اورشليم واسم امه عثليا بنت عمري.
2Forty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3وهو ايضا سلك في طرق بيت اخآب لان امه كانت تشير عليه بفعل الشر.
3He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
4فعمل الشر في عيني الرب مثل بيت اخآب لانهم كانوا له مشيرين بعد وفاة ابيه لابادته.
4He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5فسلك بمشورتهم وذهب مع يهورام بن اخآب ملك اسرائيل لمحاربة حزائيل ملك ارام في راموت جلعاد. وضرب الاراميون يورام
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 Ramoth Gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
6فرجع ليبرأ في يزرعيل بسبب الضربات التي ضربوه اياها في الرامة عند محاربته حزائيل ملك ارام. ونزل عزريا بن يهورام ملك يهوذا لعيادة يهورام بن اخآب في يزرعيل لانه كان مريضا.
6He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
7فمن قبل الله كان هلاك اخزيا بمجيئه الى يورام. فانه حين جاء خرج مع يهورام الى ياهو بن نمشي الذي مسحه الرب لقطع بيت اخآب.
7Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram: for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8واذ كان ياهو يقضي على بيت اخآب وجد رؤساء يهوذا وبني اخوة اخزيا اللذن كانوا يخدمون اخزيا فقتلهم.
8It happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and killed them.
9وطلب اخزيا فامسكوه وهو مختبئ في السامرة وأتوا به الى ياهو وقتلوه ودفنوه لانهم قالوا انه ابن يهوشافاط الذي طلب الرب بكل قلبه. فلم يكن لبيت اخزيا من يقوى على المملكة
9He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
10ولما رأت عثليا ام اخزيا ان ابنها قد مات قامت وابادت جميع النسل الملكي من بيت يهوذا.
10Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
11اما يهوشبعه بنت الملك فاخذت يواش بن اخزيا وسرقته من وسط بني الملك الذين قتلوا وجعلته هو ومرضعته في مخدع السرير وخبأته يهوشبعه بنت الملك يهورام امرأة يهوياداع الكاهن. لانها كانت اخت اخزيا. من وجه عثليا فلم تقتله.
11But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. 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 didn’t kill him.
12وكان معهم في بيت الله مختبئا ست سنين وعثليا مالكة على الارض
12He was with them hidden in God’s house six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
