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.

Iti maika-pito a tawen, nagtignay a sibibileg ni Jehoyada. Nakitulag isuna kadagiti mangidadaulo iti ginasut a soldado, ni Azarias a putot a lalaki ni Jeroham, ni Ishmael a putot a lalaki ni Jehohanan, ni Azarias a putot a lalaki ni Obed, ni Maaseias a putot a lalaki ni Adaias, ken ni Elisafat a putot a lalaki ni Zikri—nakitulag isuna kadakuada.

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,

Napanda iti entero a Juda ket inummongda dagiti Levita kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda, kasta met dagiti papanguloen dagiti balay ti Israel, ket napanda iti Jerusalem.

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.

Nakitinnulag iti ari dagiti amin a naguummong idiay balay ti Dios. Kinuna ni Jehoyada kadakuada, “Kitaenyo, agturayto ti anak ti ari, a kas iti kinuna ni Yahweh maipanggep kadagiti kaputotan ni David.

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].

Kastoy ti rumbeng nga aramidenyo: ti apagkatlo kadakayo a papadi ken Levita nga um-umay nga agserbi iti Aldaw a Panaginana, ket agbantayto kadagiti ruangan.

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.

Ti maysa pay nga apagkatlo ket agbantayto iti balay ti ari; ken ti maysa pay nga apagkatlo ket agbantayto iti Ruangan ti Fondasion. Maummongto dagiti amin a tattao iti paraangan ti balay ni Yahweh.

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.

Saanyo a palubosan ti siasinoman a sumrek iti balay ni Yahweh, malaksid kadagiti papadi ken Levita nga agserserbi; rumbeng nga umunegda ta nakonsagrarda para iti dayta a trabaho. Nasken a tungpalenda dagiti amin a bilin ni Yahweh.

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.”

Nasken a palawlawan dagiti Levita ti ari. Siaasutto ti tunggal maysa kadakuada kadagiti igamda. Siasinoman a sumrek iti balay, mapapatay isuna. Saanyo a sinsinaan ti ari inton umuneg ken rumuar.”

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.

Isu a tinungpal dagiti Levita ken ti entero a Juda dagiti amin nga imbilin ni Jehoyada a padi. Indauloan ti tunggal mangidadaulo dagiti tattaoda, dagiti malpas ti panagserbida iti Aldaw a Panaginana ken dagiti sumukat kadakuada nga agserbi iti dayta nga aldaw; ta saan ida a pinalubosan ni Jehoyada a padi nga agawid kalpasan iti trabahoda iti dayta nga aldaw.

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.

Kalpasanna, inyegan ni Jehoyada a padi dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti pana, bassit ken dakkel a kalasag nga adda iti balay ti Dios a kukua ni Ari a David.

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.

Impuesto ni Jehoyada manipud iti makannawan a paset ti templo agingga iti makannigid a paset ti templo, iti abay ti altar ken iti abay ti templo, iti aglawlaw ti ari, dagiti amin a soldado. Iggem ti tunggal maysa kadakuada ti igamda.

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!”

Kalpasanna, inruarda ni Joas a putot a lalaki ti ari, inkabilda ti korona iti ulona, ket inikkanda iti nalukot a pagbasaan a nakaisuratan dagit linteg maipapan iti panagari. Ket insaadda isuna nga ari, ket pinulotan isuna ni Jehoyada ken dagiti annakna a lallaki. Ket kinunada, “Agbiag iti napaut ti ari.”

12 When Athaliah heard the noise being made by the people running [toward the king] and cheering, she ran to the temple.

Idi nangngeg ni Atalia ti ariwawa dagiti tattao nga agtataray ken mangidaydayaw iti ari, napan isuna iti balay ni Yahweh nga ayan dagiti tattao.

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!”

Ket kimmita, ket, nakitana ti ari a sitatakder iti abay ti adigi iti pagserkan, ket adda iti abay ti ari dagiti mangidadaulo ken dagiti tumatangguyob. Siraragsak dagiti amin a tattao iti daga ken agpuypuyotda kadagiti trumpeta; ken tuktokaren dagiti kumakanta dagiti instrumento a pang-musiko ket indauloanda ti panagkanta iti pagdaydayaw. Ket rinay-ab ni Atalia ti kawesna ket impukkawna, “Panangliput daytoy! Panangliput daytoy!”

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!”

Ket pinaruar ni Jehoyada a padi dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti ginasut a pangulo iti armada ket kinunana kadakuada, “Iruaryo isuna nga ilasat iti nagbaetan dagiti soldado; ket papatayenyo babaen iti kampilan ti siasinoman a sumurot kenkuana.” Ta kinuna ti padi, “Saanyo a papatayen isuna iti balay ni Yahweh.”

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.

Pinadasna ti aglibas ngem natiliwda isuna iti Ruangan ti Kabalio iti balay ti ari, ket sadiay ti nangpapatayanda kenkuana.

16 Then Jehoiada made an agreement that he and the king and all the other people would be Yahweh’s people.

Ket nagaramid ni Jehoyada iti katulagan a nangisapataanna, dagiti amin a tattao, ken ti ari, nga agbalinda a tattao ni Yahweh.

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.

Isu a napan dagiti amin a tattao iti balay ni Baal ket rinebbada daytoy. Binurakda dagiti altar ni Baal ken rinumekda dagiti imahenna, ken pinapatayda ni Matan a padi ni Baal, iti sangoanan dagidiay nga altar.

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.

Nangdutok ni Jehoyada kadagiti opisial para iti balay ni Yahweh iti babaen iti panangimaton dagiti papadi a Levita a dinutokan ni David a mangaywan iti balay ni Yahweh, tapno mangidaton kadagiti mapuoran a daton a maipaay kenni Yahweh a kas naisurat iti linteg ni Moises, kasta met ti siraragsak a panagkankanta a kas iti imbilin ni David.

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.

Nangipuesto ni Jehoyada kadagiti guardia kadagiti ruangan iti balay ni Yahweh, tapno awan ti siasinoman a narugit a makaserrek.

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.

Inkuyog ni Jehoyada dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti ginasut, dagiti mabigbigbig nga umili, dagiti gobernador dagiti tattao, ken dagiti amin a tattao iti daga. Insalogna iti palasio ti ari manipud iti balay ni Yahweh; simrek dagiti tattao iti Akin-ngato a Ruangan nga agturong iti balay ti ari ket nagtugaw ti ari iti trono ti pagarian.

21 Then all the people of Judah rejoiced. And there was calm throughout the city, because Athaliah had been killed.

Isu a siraragsak dagiti amin a tattao iti daga, ket natalna ti siudad. Maipapan kenni Atalia, pinapatayda isuna babaen iti kampilan.
