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.

¹Siis Jeruusalemma elanikud tõstsid tema noorima poja Ahasja tema asemele kuningaks, sest kõik vanemad pojad oli tapnud see röövjõuk, kes koos araablastega oli tunginud leeri. Ja nõnda sai Ahasja, Juuda kuninga Joorami poeg, kuningaks.

²Forty and 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.

²Ahasja oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend kaks aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas ühe aasta; ta ema nimi oli Atalja, Omri tütar.

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

³Temagi käis Ahabi soo teedel, sest ta ema oli temale nõuandjaks süütegude kordasaatmisel.

⁴And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

⁴Ta tegi kurja Issanda silmis, nõnda nagu Ahabi sugu, sest nemad olid tema nõuandjad pärast ta isa surma, hukatuseks temale.

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.

⁵Tema käis ka nende nõuande järgi ja läks koos Jooramiga, Iisraeli kuninga Ahabi pojaga, sõtta Süüria kuninga Hasaeli vastu Gileadi Raamotisse; aga süürlased haavasid Jooramit.

⁶And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

⁶Siis ta tuli tagasi, et Jisreelis ennast ravida, sest tal olid haavad, mis temale Raamas olid löödud, kui ta sõdis Süüria kuninga Hasaeli vastu. Ja Juuda kuningas Asarja, Joorami poeg, tuli alla Jisreeli vaatama Jooramit, Ahabi poega, kui see oli haige.

⁷Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

⁷Aga Jumalalt oli see Ahasjale hukatuseks, et ta tuli Joorami juurde; sest sinna jõudnult läks ta koos Jooramiga Nimsi poja Jehu juurde, keda Issand oli võidnud Ahabi sugu hävitama.

⁸And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.

⁸Ja kui Jehu mõistis kohut Ahabi soo üle, siis ta kohtas Juuda vürste ja Ahasja vendade poegi, kes Ahasjat teenisid, ja tappis need.

⁹And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.

⁹Siis ta otsis Ahasjat; too võeti kinni Samaarias, kus ta ennast varjas. Ta viidi Jehu juurde ja surmati. Ja ta maeti maha, sest nad ütlesid: 'Tema on selle Joosafati pojapoeg, kes otsis Issandat kõigest oma südamest.' Ja Ahasja sool ei olnud kedagi, kes oleks suutnud valitseda.

¹⁰Now 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.

¹⁰Kui Ahasja ema Atalja nägi, et ta poeg oli surnud, siis ta võttis kätte ja hävitas kogu Juuda koja kuningliku soo.

¹¹But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the 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.

¹¹Aga Joosabat, kuninga tütar, võttis surmale määratud kuningapoegade hulgast salaja Ahasja poja Joase ja pani tema ja ta imetaja ühte magamiskambrisse; nõnda peitis teda Joosabat, kuningas Joorami tütar, preester Joojada naine - sest ta oli Ahasja õde -, Atalja eest, ja nõnda ei saanud see teda surmata.

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

¹²Ja Joas oli nende juures Jumala kojas peidus kuus aastat, kuna Atalja valitses maad.
