II Livro das Crônicas 22

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Em seu lugar, os habitantes de Jerusalém proclamaram rei Ocozias, seu filho mais jovem, pois o bando de árabes, que havia invadido o acampamento, tinha assassinado os mais velhos. Assim se tornou rei Ocozias, filho de Jorão, rei de Judá.	1 Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem appointed his youngest son, Ahaziah, as king in his place. For the robbers of the Arabians, who had fallen upon the camp, had put to death all those who were greater by birth before him. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, reigned as king of Judah.
2 Tinha vinte e dois anos quando começou a reinar e reinou um ano em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Atalia, filha de Amri.	2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.
3 Também ele trilhou os caminhos da família de Acab, pois era impelido ao mal por sua mãe, que era sua conselheira.	3 But he too went forth in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother impelled him to act impiously.
4 Fez o mal aos olhos do Senhor, como tinham feito os da casa de Acab que, depois da morte de seu pai, o arrastaram à perda, por influência deles.	4 And so he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For after the death of his father, they were counselors to him, to his destruction.
5 Foi segundo o conselho destes que se dirigiu a Ramot de Galaad com Jorão, filho de Acab, rei de Israel, para fazer a guerra a Hazael, rei da Síria. Ferido pelos sírios,	5 And he walked in their counsels. And he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, to war against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 Jorão retornou a Jezrael para cuidar das feridas recebidas em Ramá, na batalha contra Hazael, rei da Síria. Ocozias, filho de Jorão, rei de Judá, desceu a Jezrael para fazer uma visita a Jorão, filho de Acab, porquanto estava enfermo.	6 And he returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For he had received many wounds in the above-stated battle. And so Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended, so that he might visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, while he was ill.
7 Foi da vontade de Deus que, para sua perda, Ocozias fosse visitar Jorão. Com efeito, tendo chegado, saiu com Jorão contra Jeú, filho de Namsi, que o Senhor tinha ungido para exterminar a casa de Acab.	7 Indeed, it was the will of God against Ahaziah that he would go to Joram, and when he had gone, that he also would go out with him against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 E como Jeú exercia a vingança {divina} contra a casa de Acab, encontrou os chefes de Judá e os sobrinhos de Ocozias que estavam a serviço de seu tio, e os matou.	8 Therefore, when Jehu was overthrowing the house of Ahab, he found the leaders of Judah, with the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were ministering to him, and he put them to death.
9 Agarraram então o próprio Ocozias e o prenderam em Samaria, onde se escondia. Levaram-no a Jeú, e este o mandou matar. Foi-lhe dada uma sepultura, porque os homens diziam: É um filho daquele Josafá, que buscara o Senhor de todo o seu coração. Assim não havia ninguém da família de Ocozias, que estivesse em condições de reinar.	9 Also, while he himself was seeking Ahaziah, he found him to be hiding in Samaria. And having been led to him, he killed him. And they buried him, because he was the son of Jehoshaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. But there was no longer any hope that someone from the stock of Ahaziah would reign.
10 Quando Atalia, mãe de Ocozias, viu seu filho morto, tomou a resolução de exterminar toda a estirpe real da casa de Judá.	10 For indeed, his mother, Athaliah, seeing that her son had died, rose up and killed the entire royal stock of the house of Jehoram.
11 Mas Josabet, filha do rei, raptou Joás, filho de Ocozias, dentre os jovens príncipes que estavam sendo massacrados, e o escondeu com sua ama no dormitório. Josabet, filha de Jorão, irmã de Ocozias, e mulher do sacerdote Jojada, escondeu-o assim das vistas de Atalia, e ela não conseguiu matá-lo	11 But Jehosheba, the daughter of the king, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from the midst the king’s sons when they were being slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedroom. Now Jehosheba, the one who had hidden him, was the daughter of king Jehoram, and the wife of the high priest Jehoiada, and the sister of Ahaziah. And because of this, Athaliah did not kill him.
12 A criança esteve escondida junto delas, no templo, durante seis anos, enquanto Atalia reinava sobre a terra.	12 Therefore, he was with them, hidden in the house of God, for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
