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.

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-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.

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.

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.

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 Ramoth Gilead: and the Syrians wounded 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

¹²He was with them hidden in God’s house six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

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