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.

¹And the inhabitants of Jerusalem cause Ahaziah his youngest son to reign in his stead, (for all the elder had the troop slain that came in with the Arabians to the camp,) and Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigneth.

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.

²A son of twenty and two years [is] Ahaziah in his reigning, and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah daughter of Omri;

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

³he also hath walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother hath been his counsellor to do wickedly.

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.

⁴And he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counsellors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.

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.

⁵Also, in their counsel he hath walked, and goeth with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel to battle against Hazael king of Aram, in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah smite Joram;

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.

⁶and he turneth back to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds with which they had smitten him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah hath gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab, in Jezreel, for he [is] sick;

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.

⁷and from God hath been the destruction of Ahaziah, to come unto Joram: and in his coming he hath gone out with Jehoram unto Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

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.

⁸And it cometh to pass, in Jehu's executing judgment with the house of Ahab, that he findeth the heads of Judah and sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slayeth them.

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.

⁹And he seeketh Ahaziah, and they capture him, (and he is hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him in unto Jehu, and put him to death, and bury him, for they said, `He [is] son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart;' and there is none to the house of Ahaziah to retain power for the kingdom.

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

¹⁰And Athaliah mother of Ahaziah hath seen that her son is dead, and she riseth and destroyeth the whole seed of the kingdom of the house of Judah.

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.

¹¹And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and putteth him and his nurse into the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter of king Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she hath been sister of Ahaziah, hideth him from the face of Athaliah, and she hath not put him to death.

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

¹²And he is with them in the house of God hiding himself six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.
