2 Chronicles 23
1 After Joash had been hidden in the temple for six years, Jehoiada the priest decided that it was necessary to do something. So he made an agreement with the army commanders of groups of 100 soldiers: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zicri.
A kum sarinae dawk Jehoiada teh, amahoima a thakâla teh, ransa 100 touh kahrawikungnaw Jehoram capa Azariah, Jehohanan capa Ishmael Obed capa Azariah, Adai capa Maaseiah,
2 They went throughout Judah and gathered the descendants of Levi and the leaders of Israeli families from all the towns. When they came to Jerusalem,
hahoi, Judah ram a lawngven awh teh, Judah ram kho tangkuem e Levihnaw hoi Isarel imthung kahrawikungnaw a pâkhueng awh teh, Jerusalem lah bout a tho awh.
3 the whole group went to the temple and made an agreement with the young king there. Jehoiada said to them, “This is the son of the previous king of Judah. So he is the one who must rule, like Yahweh promised that the descendants of King David must do.
Kamkhuengnaw pueng ni Cathut im dawk siangpahrang hoi lawkkamnae a sak awh. Hahoi Jehoiada ni ahnimouh koevah, khenhaw! BAWIPA ni Devit capanaw e kong dawk a dei tangcoung e patetlah, a uknaeram bawitungkhung dawk siangpahrang lah ao hanelah ao.
4 “So this is what you must do: One-third of you priests and other descendants of Levi who are starting their work on the Sabbath day must guard the doors [of the temple].
Nangmouh ni na sak awh hane teh, sabbath hnin vah ka tho e vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw thung dawk hu thum touh dawk hu touh ni longkha a ring awh han.
5 One-third of you must guard the king’s palace, and one-third of you must guard the Foundation Gate. All the other people will be in the courtyards outside the temple.
Hu touh teh siangpahrang im dawk ao awh vaiteh, hu touh teh longkha koe, alouknaw pueng teh BAWIPA im thongma dawk na o awh han.
6 Only the priests and the descendants of Levi who work there will enter the temple. They will be allowed to enter the temple because they are set apart [for that work]. All the others must remain in the courtyards, obeying what Yahweh has commanded.
Hatei, vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hoeh laipateh, apihai BAWIPA im dawk kâen mahoeh. Ahnimouh teh a kâen thai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh a thoung awh. Taminaw pueng teh BAWIPA hah ring awh naseh.
7 You descendants of Levi must stand around the young king, each of you with your weapon in your hand. Anyone else who tries to enter the temple you must kill. And stay close to the young king, wherever he goes.”
Levihnaw ni senehmaica patuep laihoi siangpahrang kalup awh naseh. Hahoi imthung kâennaw pueng teh thei lah ao han. Siangpahrang a tâco, a kâen nah pou awm sin awh telah lawk a thui.
8 So the descendants of Levi and all [the men of] Judah did what Jehoiada had told them. He did not allow anyone to go home after having finished his work on that Sabbath day. Each commander took charge of his men, the ones who were finishing their work on that day and those who were starting their work on that day.
Hottelah Judahnaw hoi Levihnaw pueng ni vaihma Jehoiada e kâpoelawk patetlah a sak awh. Lengkaleng a uk awh e patetlah sabbath hnin vah ka tho hane hoi sabbath hnin vah ka ban hane naw hah a ceikhai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaihma Jehoiada ni ka ban hane naw ban sak hoeh rah.
9 Then Jehoiada gave each of the commanders the spears and the large and small shields that had been put there in the temple by King David.
Vaihma Jehoiada ni Cathut im dawk e Devit e tahroenaw, bahling kathoungnaw hoi kalennaw a la teh ransa 100 touh kauknaw koe a poe.
10 He commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each with his sword in his hand, all around the king—around the altar and the temple, from the north side to the south side.
Senehmaica ka patuem e tami pueng teh, siangpahrang petkâkalup lah avoilae im takin koehoi aranglae im takin totouh thuengnae khoungroe hoi im takin totouh a hruek awh.
11 Then Jehoiada and his sons brought Joash out. They put a crown on his head and gave him [a scroll] on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey], and proclaimed that he was now the king. They anointed him with olive oil and shouted, “We hope that the king will live for many years!”
Hottelah siangpahrang capa a tâcokhai awh teh, bawilukhung a kâmuk sak hnukkhu, lawkpanuesaknae a poe awh teh, siangpahrang a tawk sak awh. Jehoiada hoi a capanaw ni satui a awi awh teh, siangpahrang hringsaw seh, telah ati awh.
12 When Athaliah heard the noise being made by the people running [toward the king] and cheering, she ran to the temple.
Taminaw a yawng awh e pawlawk hoi siangpahrang a pholen awh e Athaliah ni a thai toteh, BAWIPA im dawk e taminaw koe a cei.
13 She saw the young king there, standing alongside the pillar at the entrance of the temple, [which is the place at the temple] where the kings usually stood. The army commanders and trumpet players were standing beside the king, and all the people of Judah were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and singers with their musical instruments were leading the people while they praised God. Then Athaliah tore her robes and started screaming, “You are committing treason!”
A khet navah, im takhang koe e khomkung koe siangpahrang a kangdue teh, ateng e ransabawinaw hoi mongka kauengkungnaw, hote ram dawk e taminaw pueng teh, a lung thouk ahawi awh. Mongka thouk a ueng awh teh, la kasaknaw ni tumkhawng khawng laihoi pholen la a sak awh. Hahoi Athaliah ni a khohna a phi teh, youknae taran doeh, youknae taran doeh, telah a hram.
14 Jehoiada the Supreme Priest said to the army commanders, “Kill her, but do not kill her at the temple of Yahweh!” Then he said to them, “Bring Athaliah out in front of the troops and kill anyone who tries to follow her!”
Vaihma Jehoiada ni BAWIPA e im thung thet awh hanh. Alawilah hrawi awh. Ahni koelah kampang e tami teh tahloi hoi thet awh telah ransa 100 touh ka uk e ransabawi koe lawk a thui tangcoung e patetlah.
15 [She tried to flee, but] they seized her as she reached the gate where horses enter the palace area, and they killed her there.
Athaliah a man awh teh, siangpahrang im ceinae marang kâennae lamthung koe a pha awh navah a thei awh.
16 Then Jehoiada made an agreement that he and the king and all the other people would be Yahweh’s people.
Hahoi Jehoiada ni ama hoi a taminaw pueng hoi siangpahrang rahak vah BAWIPA e tami lah ao thai nahanelah lawkkamnae a sak.
17 Then all the people who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars [of Baal]. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars.
Taminaw pueng teh Baal im vah a cei awh teh a raphoe awh. Thuengnae khoungroenaw hoi meikaphawknaw reprep a dei awh teh, Baal vaihma Mattan hah thuengnae khoungroenaw e hmalah a thei awh.
18 Then Jehoiada appointed the priests, who were also descended from Levi, to work at the temple. They were part of the group to whom King David had given various jobs at the temple, to sacrifice the animals that were to be completely burned on the altar, doing what was written in the laws that Moses had given to them. He also told them to rejoice and sing, which was also what David had commanded.
Jehoiada ni Mosi e kâlawk cauk dawk a thut e patetlah lunghawinae la sak laihoi Devit ni, BAWIPA im dawk BAWIPA koe hmaisawi thuengnae thueng sak hanelah, a pouk tangcoung e vaihma, Levihnaw e kut rahim thaw tawk hanelah Devit ni kâ a poe e patetlah BAWIPA im ka khenyawn hanelah a hmoun.
19 He also put guards at the gates of the temple in order that anyone who was unacceptable to God would not be allowed to enter.
Kathounghoehe tami kâen thai hoeh nahanelah, BAWIPA im longkha ka ring hanelah a rawi.
20 Jehoiada took with him the army commanders, the important men, the leaders and many others, and brought the king down from the temple. They went into the palace through the Upper Gate, and put the king on his throne.
Tami 100 touh kahrawikung hoi tamimaya kahrawikung hanelah, ram thung e taminaw a la teh, ahnimanaw ni BAWIPA im dawk hoi siangpahrang a thokhai awh teh, lathueng lae longkha koe lahoi siangpahrang im dawk a thokhai awh. Hahoi siangpahrang teh bawitungkhung dawk a tahung sak awh.
21 Then all the people of Judah rejoiced. And there was calm throughout the city, because Athaliah had been killed.
Hatdawkvah, ram thung e tami pueng teh a lunghawi awh. Tahloi hoi Athaliah a thei awh hnukkhu khopui teh a roum.
