2 Kings 11

1 Then Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah when she saw that her sonne was dead, she arose, and destroyed all the Kings seede.

Esi Atalia, Ahazia dada kpɔ be ye viŋutsu ku la, eyi ɖawu fia la ƒe ƒometɔwo katã,

2 But Iehosheba the daughter of King Ioram, and sister to Ahaziah tooke Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah, and stale him from among the Kings sonnes that shoulde be slaine, both him and his nource, keeping them in the bed chaber, and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slaine.

Ke Yehoseba, Fia Yoram ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si ganye Ahazia nɔvinyɔnu kplɔ Yoas, Ahazia ƒe viŋutsu eye wòfii dzoe tso fiaviŋutsu siwo wodi be woawu la dome. Etsɔ Yoas kple edzikpɔla ɣla ɖe xɔ aɖe me le gbedoxɔ me eye wòɣlae ɖe Atalia, ale womete ŋu wui o.

3 And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord sixe yeere: and Athaliah did reigne ouer the land.

Yoas kple eƒe dzikpɔla be ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me ƒe ade le esime Atalia nɔ anyigba la dzi ɖum.

4 And the seuenth yeere Iehoiada sent and tooke the captaines ouer hundreths, with other captaines and them of the garde, and caused them to come vnto him into the house of the Lord, and made a couenant with them, and tooke an othe of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed them the Kings sonne.

Le Nyɔnufia Atalia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe adrelia me la, nunɔla Yehoiada yɔ fiasãŋudzɔlawo kple fiaŋudzɔlawo ƒe amegãwo ƒo ƒu. Edo go wo le gbedoxɔ la me eye wòna woka atam nɛ be yewomagblɔe na ame aɖeke o. Ale wòtsɔ fiavi la fia wo

5 And he commanded them, saying, This is it that ye must doe, The third part of you, that commeth on the Sabbath, shall warde towarde the Kings house:

eye wòde se na wo gblɔ bena, “Nu si miawɔ lae nye esi: Mi ame siwo wɔa dɔ le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi la ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia ɖeka adzɔ fiasã la ŋu.

6 And another third part in the gate of Sur: and another thirde part in the gate behinde them of the garde: and ye shall keepe watche in the house of Massah.

Akpa etɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖeka nanɔ Sur gbo la ŋu dzɔm eye akpa mamlɛa nanɔ agbo si le gbedoxɔ ƒe agbo si le ame si dzɔa gbedoxɔ la ŋu la megbe.

7 And two parts of you, that is, all that goe out on the Sabbath day, shall keepe the watch of the house of the Lord about the King.

Mi ame siwo le akpa eve bubuawo me la, ame siwo mewɔa dɔ le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi o la, miawo midzɔ gbedoxɔ la ŋu na fia la.

8 And ye shall compasse the King rounde about, euery man with his weapon in his hande, and whosoeuer commeth within the ranges, let him be slayne: be you with the King, as he goeth out and in.

Miɖe to ɖe fia la, eye ame sia ame nalé aʋawɔnu ɖe asi. Woawu ame sia ame si adi be yeadze mi. Minɔ fia la ŋu kplikplikpli.”

9 And the captaines of the hundreths did according to all that Iehoiada the Priest commaded, and they tooke euery man his men that entred in to their charge on the Sabbath with them that went out of it on the Sabbath, and came to Iehoiada the Priest.

Aʋafia si kpɔa asrafo alafa ɖeka dzi la wɔ nunɔla Yehoiada ƒe ɖoɖoawo dzi. Aʋafiawo kplɔ ame siwo manɔ dɔ me le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi o kple esiwo anɔ dɔ me gbe ma gbe la siaa yi na nunɔla Yehoiada.

10 And the Priest gaue to the captaines of hundreths the speares and the shieldes that were King Dauids, and were in the house of the Lord.

Etsɔ Fia David ƒe akplɔ kple akpoxɔnu siwo nɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me de asi na aʋafiawo.

11 And the garde stoode, euery man with his weapon in his hande, from the right side of the house to the left side, about the altar and about the house, round about the King.

Dzɔla ɖe sia ɖe lé eƒe aʋawɔnu ɖe asi eye wonɔ tsitre ƒo xlã fia la, ame si te ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu le gbedoxɔ la me. Woɖe to ɖee tso gbedoxɔ la ƒe dziehe yi anyiehe.

12 Then he brought out the Kings sonne, and put the crowne vpon him and gaue him the Testimonie, and they made him King: also they anoynted him, and clapt their handes, and sayde, God saue the King.

Yehoiada kplɔ fiavi ŋutsuvi la do goe, ɖɔ fiakuku nɛ; tsɔ Nubabla ƒe seawo de asi nɛ eye wòɖoe fiae. Esi ami nɛ, ame sia ame ƒo asikpe kplokplokplo eye wodo ɣli sesĩe be, “Fia nenɔ agbe tegbee!”

13 And when Athaliah heard the noyse of the running of the people, shee came in to the people in the house of the Lord.

Esi Atalia se ame siwo le gbedoxɔa ŋu dzɔm kple ameawo ƒe ɣli la, eyi ɖe ame siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me la gbɔ.

14 And when shee looked, beholde, the King stoode by a pillar, as the maner was, and the princes and the trumpetters by the King, and al the people of the land reioyced, and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cryed, Treason, treason.

Etsa ŋku eye kpɔ ɖa, fia lae nye ekem, etsi tsitre ɖe sɔti la gbɔ le kɔnu la nu. Dɔdzikpɔlawo kple kpẽkulawo nɔ fia la xa eye anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã nɔ aseye tsom henɔ kpẽawo kum. Tete Atalia dze eƒe awuwo eye wòdo ɣli be, “Nugbeɖoɖoe! Nugbeɖoɖoe!”

15 But Iehoiada the Priest commanded the captaines of the hundreths that had the rule of the hoste, and sayde vnto them, Haue her forth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him die by the sworde: for the Priest had sayd, Let her not be slaine in the house of the Lord.

Nunɔla Yehoiada de se na ame siwo nɔ asrafo alafa ɖekawo nu, ame siwo nɔ aʋawɔlawo dzi kpɔm la be, “Mikplɔe to ameawo dome vɛ eye miawu ame sia ame si adze eyome.” Elabena nunɔla la gblɔ do ŋgɔ be, “Migawui ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me o.”

16 Then they laid hands on her, and she went by the way, by the which the horses goe to the house of the King, and there was she slaine.

Ale wolée le Sɔgbo la nu le fiasã la me eye wowui le afi ma.

17 And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene the Lord, and the King and the people, that they should be the Lordes people: likewise betweene the King and the people.

Yehoiada wɔ nubabla le Yehowa kple fia la kple dukɔa dome be woanye Yehowa tɔ. Egawɔ nubabla le fia la kple ameawo hã dome.

18 Then all the people of the lande went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it with his altars, and his images brake they downe courageously, and slewe Mattan the Priest of Baal before the altars: and the Priest set a garde ouer the house of the Lord.

Wo katã woyi Baal ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wogbãe. Wogbã vɔsamlekpui la kple legbawo le afi ma eye wowu Matan, Baal ƒe nunɔla le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ. Yehoyaɖa ɖo dzɔlawo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.

19 Then he tooke the captaines of hudreths, and the other captaines, and the garde, and all the people of the lande: and they brought the King from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the garde to the Kings house: and he sate him downe on the throne of the Kings.

Eye wòɖe ame alafawo ƒe amegãwo, blafowo kple fiaŋusrafowo kpakple dukɔ hahoo la katã, eye wokplɔ fia la tso Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, to dzɔlawo ƒe aƒe ŋu heyi fiasã la me eye fia la nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi.

20 And all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was in quiet: for they had slaine Athaliah with the sworde beside the Kings house.

Amewo katã kpɔ dzidzɔ le dukɔ la me eye ŋutifafa va dua me azɔ elabena wowu Atalia kple yi le afi ma.

21 Seuen yeere olde was Iehoash when he began to reigne.
