< 2 Chronicles 23 >

1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—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 Zichri—into a covenant with him.
Tukun yac onkosr, Jehoiada mwet tol, el wotela mu pacl fal in oasr ma orek. El orala sie pwapa yurin captain limekosr lun un mwet mweun inge: Azariah wen natul Jeroham, Ishmael wen natul Jehohanan, Azariah wen natul Obed, Maaseiah wen natul Adaiah, ac Elishaphat wen natul Zichri.
2 They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Elos fahsrelik nu in siti nukewa lun Judah, ac usani mwet Levi ac sifen sou nukewa nu Jerusalem.
3 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.
Elos nukewa tukeni nu in Tempul, ac elos orala sie wulela yorol Joash, wen natul tokosra. Jehoiada el fahk nu selos, “Pa inge wen nutin tokosra se ma tufahna misa ah. El ac tokosrala inge, in oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh wulela mu mwet in sou lal David pa ac tokosra.
4 This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
Pa inge ma kut ac oru. Ke mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos ac tuku in oru ma kunalos ke len Sabbath, na sie tafu tolu selos ac taran mutunoa nu ke Tempul,
5 A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of Yahweh’s house.
ac sie tafu tolu selos ac taran lohm sin tokosra, ac mwet lula ac fah som nu ke Mutunpot Pwelung. Na mwet nukewa ac fah toeni ke nien tukeni likin Tempul uh.
6 But let no one come into Yahweh’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Yahweh’s instructions.
Wangin mwet ac fah utyak nu in Tempul sayen mwet tol ac mwet Levi, su oasr ma kunalos we. Elos ku in utyak mweyen elos aknasnasyeyuk tari, ac mwet nukewa saya enenu in akos na ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac muta likinum uh.
7 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
Mwet Levi elos ac tu raunella tokosra, ac sruok na cutlass natulos, ac elos ac fah welul tokosra nu yen nukewa el ac som nu we. Kutena mwet su srike in utyak nu in Tempul ac fah anwuki.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.
Mwet Levi ac mwet Judah elos oru oana ma Jehoiada, mwet tol, el sapkin. Kais sie un mwet inge tiana filfilla in som finne safla pacl in orekma lalos in Tempul. Ke ma inge, u sasu se ma ac tuku, ac u se ma safla pacl la, elos ac tukenina muta akola nu ke sap lun captain lun mwet mweun.
9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
Jehoiada el sang osra, ac mwe loeyuk yohk ac mwe loeyuk srik, su ma natul Tokosra David ma oanna in Tempul, nu sin captain lun un mwet mweun uh.
10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.
El kitalik mwet mweun ma sruok cutlass natulos in tu yen nukewa mutun Tempul uh, in taranul tokosra.
11 Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
Na Jehoiada el pwanulla Joash nu likinuma, ac sang tefuro se nu fin sifacl, oayapa sie ma simla ke ma oakwuk nu sin sie tokosra. Ouinge Joash el tokosrala. Jehoiada mwet tol, ac wen natul, elos mosrwella Joash, na mwet nukewa sala, “Lela in paht moul lal tokosra!”
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house.
Athaliah el lohngak ke mwet uh sasa in akfulatyal tokosra, na el sulaklak som nu ke Tempul, yen mwet uh tukeni we.
13 Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”
Na el ngetla liye tokosra sasu sac ke nien utyak nu in Tempul, su tu ke sru soko ma srisrila nu sin tokosra, rauniyukla sin captain lun mwet mweun ac mwet ukuk. Mwet nukewa sasa ke engan ac ukya mwe ukuk, ac mwet on lun Tempul elos srital ke mwe on natulos ac kol akfulat ma orek inge. Athaliah el foloyak ac seya nuknuk lal, ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Sulallal! Sulallal!”
14 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in Yahweh’s house.”
Jehoiada el tia lungse in anwuki Athaliah sisken Tempul uh. Ouinge el pangon captain lun un mwet mweun ac fahk nu selos, “Usalla inmasrlon tak lun mwet mweun an, ac uniya kutena mwet su srike in molella.”
15 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
Elos sruokilya ac usalla nu lohm sin tokosra, ac elos unilya sisken Mutunpot Horse.
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.
Jehoiada, mwet tol, el orala sie wulela tuh el, ac Tokosra Joash, ac mwet uh, ac fah mwet lun LEUM GOD.
17 All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Na elos nukewa som nu ke tempul lal Baal ac kunausla. Elos fukulya loang we ac ma sruloala we, ac unilya Mattan, mwet tol lun Baal, sisken loang we.
18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of Yahweh’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in Yahweh’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
Jehoiada el sang orekma nukewa in Tempul in oan inpoun mwet tol ac mwet Levi. Elos in oru oana oakwuk lal Tokosra David nu selos ac in furreak ma ac kisakinyuk nu sin LEUM GOD, fal nu ke Ma Sap lal Moses. Ma pac kunalos in karingin on ac pacl in akfulat.
19 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of Yahweh’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
Jehoiada el oayapa filiya mwet topang ke mutunoa in Tempul, tuh kutena mwet su tia nasnas fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu, in tia utyak nu we.
20 He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from Yahweh’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
Captain lun un mwet mweun, sifen sou, mwet kacto, ac mwet nukewa saya, elos welul Jehoiada pwanulla tokosra liki Tempul nu ke lohm sin tokosra. Elos utyak ke mutunpot se ma oa emeet, na tokosra el som muta fin tron lal ah.
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
Insien mwet nukewa sessesla ke engan, ac siti sac muta misla tukun Athaliah el anwuki.
