< 2 Kings 11 >

1 Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom put to death.
Pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻe ʻAtalia ko e faʻē ʻa ʻAhasia kuo mate ʻa ʻene tama, naʻa ne tuʻu hake mo ne fakaʻauha ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻoe hau.
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.
Ka ko Sihosipa ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ko Solami, ko e tuofefine ʻo ʻAhasia, naʻe ʻave ʻa Soasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia, mo ne ʻave fufū ia mei he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi; pea naʻa nau fufū ia meia ʻAtalia, ʻio, ʻaia mo ʻene fefine tauhi, ʻi he fale mohe, pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ai ia.
3 And for six years she kept him safe in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah was ruling over the land.
Pea naʻe fufū ʻakinaua ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono. Pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAtalia ki he fonua.
4 Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.
Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata mo ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he taki toko teau, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau mo e kau leʻo, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu kiate ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne fai fuakava mo kinautolu, pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻenau lea fuakava ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae foha ʻoe tuʻi.
5 And he gave them orders, saying, This is what you are to do: the third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the king's house,
Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻae meʻa te mou fai; [ʻe vahe tolu ]ʻakimoutolu ʻoku hū ange ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea ko homou vahe ʻe taha ʻe tauhi mo leʻohi ʻae fale ʻoe tuʻi;
6
Pea ko homou vahe ʻe taha ʻe ʻi he matapā ʻo Suli; pea ko e vahe ʻe taha ʻi he matapā ki mui ʻi he kau leʻo: ʻe pehē pe ʻa hoʻomou leʻohi ʻae fale ke ʻoua naʻa maumauʻi ia.
7 And the two divisions of you, who go out on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the house of the Lord,
Pea ko hono vahe ua ʻokimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ʻe ʻanautolu ʻae tauhi mo e leʻohi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi.
8 Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.
Pea te mou nofo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi, pea toʻo ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa hono mahafu ʻi hono nima: pea ʻilonga ha taha ʻe Lakaatu ki loto, tuku ke tāmateʻi ia: pea te mou ʻi he tuʻi ʻi heʻene ʻalu kituʻa mo ʻene hū mai.”
9 And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.
Paʻa naʻe fai ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻa nau ʻave taki taha ʻa ʻene kau tangata ʻaia naʻe vahe ke hū mai ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea mo kinautolu naʻe vahe ke ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ʻonau omi kia Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki.
10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's, and which were kept in the house of the Lord.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻae ngaahi tao mo e ngaahi pā ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
11 Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house.
Pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kau leʻo, ko e tangata taki taha mo ʻene mahafu ʻi hono nima, ʻo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi, mei he tuliki fakatoʻomataʻu ʻoe faletapu ʻo fai hake ki he tuliki fakatoʻohema ʻoe faletapu, ʻo vāofi mo e feilaulauʻanga pea mo e faletapu.
12 Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻae foha ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae tatā fakatuʻi kiate ia, mo ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae tohi ʻoe fono; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi, mo nau pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo; pea naʻa nau pasi nima, ʻonau pehē, “Ke moʻui pe ʻae tuʻi.”
13 Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻAtalia ki he longoaʻa ʻoe kau leʻo pea mo e kakai, naʻa ne haʻu ki he kakai ʻi he loto faletapu ʻo Sihova.
14 And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!
Pea ʻi heʻene sio, vakai, naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻi he veʻepou, ʻo hangē ko hono anga, pea tutuʻu fakataha mo e tuʻi ʻae houʻeiki pea mo e kau tangata ifi meʻalea, pea naʻe fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pea naʻa nau ifi ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: pea naʻe haehae ʻe ʻAtalia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, pea ne kalanga, “Ko e lapa, ko e lapa.”
15 Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to those who were placed in authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword, for he said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
Ka naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ko e houʻeiki ki he kautau, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻave ia kituaʻā: pea ko ia ʻoku muimui ʻiate ia tuku ke tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā.” He kuo pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ke ʻoua naʻa tāmateʻi ia ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.”
16 So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the horses, and there she was put to death.
Pea naʻa nau puke nima ia; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ko ia naʻe faʻa hū ai ʻae fanga hoosi ki he nofoʻanga ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻi ai.
17 And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people; and in the same way between the king and the people.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sihoiata ha fuakava ʻia Sihova pea mo e tuʻi pea mo e kakai, ke nau hoko ko e kakai ʻa Sihova ʻakinautolu; pea ʻi he tuʻi foki mo e kakai.
18 Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.
Pea naʻe hū atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ki he fale ʻo Peali, pea [naʻa nau ]maumau hifo ia; ʻa hono ngaahi feilaulauʻanga pea mo hono ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻa nau laiki ke ʻosi, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Matani ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa Peali ʻi he muʻa feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae kau matāpule ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e kau leʻo, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; pea naʻa nau ʻohifo ʻae tuʻi mei he fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he hala mo e matapā ʻoe kau leʻo. Pea naʻa ne nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
20 So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.
Pea naʻe fakafiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pea naʻe nofo lelei pe ʻae kolo: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa ʻAtalia ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻo ofi ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi.
21 And Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.
Pea naʻe fitu taʻu ʻe motuʻa ʻo Soasa ʻi heʻene kamata pule ʻaʻana.
