2 Tawarikh 22

¹Lalu penduduk Yerusalem mengangkat Ahazia, anaknya yang bungsu, menjadi raja menggantikan dia, karena semua anaknya yang lebih tua umurnya telah dibunuh oleh gerombolan yang datang ke tempat perkemahan bersama-sama orang-orang Arab. Dengan demikian Ahazia, anak Yoram raja Yehuda, menjadi raja.

¹And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.

²Ahazia berumur empat puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan setahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Atalya, cucu Omri.

²Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.

³Iapun hidup menurut kelakuan keluarga Ahab, karena ibunya menasihatinya untuk melakukan yang jahat.

³He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly.

⁴Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN sama seperti keluarga Ahab, sebab sesudah ayahnya mati mereka menjadi penasihat-penasihatnya yang mencelakakannya.

⁴He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done. For after the death of his father they were his counselors, to his undoing.

⁵Atas nasihat mereka pula ia pergi bersama-sama Yoram bin Ahab, raja Israel, untuk berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram, di Ramot-Gilead. Tetapi orang-orang Aram melukai Yoram.

⁵He even followed their counsel and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to make war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram,

⁶Kemudian pulanglah ia ke Yizreel untuk diobati oleh karena luka-luka yang didapatnya di Rama pada waktu ia berperang melawan Hazael, raja Aram. Dan Ahazia, anak Yoram raja Yehuda, pergi menjenguk Yoram bin Ahab di Yizreel, karena dia sakit.

⁶and he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds that he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was wounded.

⁷Telah ditentukan Allah, bahwa Ahazia akan menemui ajalnya pada waktu ia mengunjungi Yoram; maka ketika Ahazia datang, pergilah ia bersama-sama Yoram mendapatkan Yehu, cucu Nimsi, yang telah diurapi TUHAN, supaya dialah yang melenyapkan keluarga Ahab.

⁷But it was ordained by God that the downfall of Ahaziah should come about through his going to visit Joram. For when he came there, he went out with Jehoram to meet Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.

⁸Sementara Yehu melakukan penghukuman atas keluarga Ahab, ia menjumpai pembesar-pembesar Yehuda dan anak-anak saudara-saudara Ahazia, yang melayani Ahazia. Juga mereka dibunuhnya.

⁸And when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he met the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, who attended Ahaziah, and he killed them.

⁹Lalu ia mencari Ahazia; Ahazia tertangkap ketika ia bersembunyi di Samaria. Ia dibawa kepada Yehu, lalu dibunuh, tetapi dikuburkan juga, karena kata orang: "Dia ini cucu Yosafat, yang mencari TUHAN dengan segenap hatinya." Dari keluarga Ahazia tidak ada lagi yang sanggup memerintah.

⁹He searched for Ahaziah, and he was captured while hiding in Samaria, and he was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, "He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." And the house of Ahaziah had no one able to rule the kingdom.

¹⁰Ketika Atalya, ibu Ahazia, melihat bahwa anaknya sudah mati, maka bangkitlah ia membinasakan semua keturunan raja dari kaum Yehuda.

¹⁰Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah.

¹¹Tetapi Yosabat, anak perempuan raja, mengambil Yoas bin Ahazia, menculik dia dari tengah-tengah anak-anak raja yang hendak dibunuh itu, memasukkan dia dengan inang penyusunya ke dalam gudang tempat tidur. Demikianlah Yosabat, anak perempuan raja Yoram, isteri imam Yoyada, --ia adalah saudara perempuan Ahazia--menyembunyikan dia terhadap Atalya, sehingga ia tidak dibunuh Atalya.

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 about to be put to death, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Thus Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahaziah, hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.

¹²Maka tinggallah Yoas enam tahun lamanya bersama-sama mereka dengan bersembunyi di rumah Allah, sementara Atalya memerintah negeri.

¹²And he remained with them six years, hidden in the house of God, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
