2 Kings 11
1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.
Awo Asaliya nnyina Akaziya bwe yalaba mutabani we ng’afudde, n’atandika okusaanyaawo olulyo olulangira lwonna.
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
Naye omumbejja Yekoseba muwala wa kabaka Yolaamu mwannyina Akaziya n’abba Yekoyaasi n’amuggya mu balangira abaali bagenda okuttibwa, n’abateeka ye n’omukuza we mu kisenge ekimu ng’abakweka Asaliya, era Yekoyaasi n’atattibwa.
3 He was with her hidden in Yahweh’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
N’abeera mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’omukuza we okumala emyaka mukaaga, Asaliya nga y’afuga ensi.
4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into Yahweh’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in Yahweh’s house, and showed them the king’s son.
Mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu Yekoyaada n’atumya abaduumizi ab’ebibinja by’ekikumi, ab’oku Bakali n’abakuumi, ne babaleeta gy’ali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama. N’alagaana nabo endagaano, n’abalayiriza mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’oluvannyuma n’abalaga mutabani wa kabaka.
5 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
N’abawa ebiragiro bino nti, “Kino kye muteekwa okukola: kimu kya kusatu ku kibinja ekikuuma ku ssabbiiti, kye kinaakuumanga olubiri lwa kabaka,
6 a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
n’ekimu kya kusatu ekirala ne kikuuma Omulyango Suuli, n’ekimu kya kusatu ekirala ne kikuuma emanju w’omulyango ewabeera abakuumi abakuuma yeekaalu mu mpalo;
7 The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of Yahweh’s house around the king.
n’ebibiina byammwe ebibiri ebitatera kukuuma ku ssabbiiti, mwenna mugenda kuvunaanyizibwa okukuuma yeekaalu ya Mukama ku lwa kabaka.
8 You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”
Era muneetooloola kabaka enjuuyi zonna, buli muntu ng’akutte ebyokulwanyisa bye mu mukono gwe, ne buli anaŋŋaanga okubasemberera attibwe. Mukuumenga kabaka butiribiri, bw’anaafulumanga ne bw’anaayingiranga.”
9 The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
Abaduumizi ab’ebibinja b’ekikumi ne bakola byonna nga Yekoyaada kabona bwe yalagira, buli omu n’afuna abasajja be, abaali ab’okukola ku ssabbiiti, n’abaali bamaze oluwalo lwabwe, ne bajja eri Yekoyaada kabona.
10 The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in Yahweh’s house.
Kabona n’awa abaduumizi amafumu n’engabo ebyali ebya kabaka Dawudi, ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama,
11 The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
buli mukuumi n’ayimirira n’ebyokulwanyisa bye nga beetoolodde kabaka enjuuyi zonna, okuliraana ekyoto ne yeekaalu okuva ku luuyi olw’obukiikaddyo okutuuka ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono.
12 Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”
Awo Yekoyaada n’afulumya mutabani wa kabaka, n’amutikkira engule, n’amuwa n’endagaano gye baali bakoze, ne bamufuula kabaka. N’afukibwako amafuta, abantu ne bakuba mu ngalo nga bwe bayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Wangaala kabaka!”
13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house;
Asaliya bwe yawulira oluyoogaano lw’abakuumi n’olw’abantu, n’alaga eri abantu ku yeekaalu ya Mukama.
14 and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
Bwe yatunula, laba, nga kabaka ayimiridde awali empagi, ng’empisa bwe yabanga, n’abaami n’abafuuwa amakondeere nga bayimiridde okuliraana kabaka, n’abantu bonna ab’omu nsi nga basanyuka era nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere. Awo Asaliya n’ayuza ebyambalo bye, n’aleekaanira waggulu nti, “Bujeemu, bujeemu!”
15 Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in Yahweh’s house.”
Amangwago Yekoyaada kabona n’alagira abaduumizi ab’ebibinja b’ekikumi, abaali bakulira eggye nti, “Mumufulumye wakati w’ennyiriri, na buli amugoberera mumutte n’ekitala.” Kabona yali agambye nti, “Temumuttira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.”
16 So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.
Ne bakwata Asaliya, ng’anaatera okuyita mu mulyango gw’embalaasi w’eziyingira mu luggya lw’olubiri, ne bamuttira awo.
17 Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that they should be Yahweh’s people; also between the king and the people.
Awo Yekoyaada n’akola endagaano ne Mukama, ne kabaka n’abantu, nti banaabeera abantu ba Mukama, era n’akola n’endagaano ne kabaka n’abantu.
18 All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over Yahweh’s house.
Abantu bonna ab’omu nsi ne bagenda ku ssabo lya Baali ne balimenyaamenya; ne bamenyaamenya ebyoto n’ebifaananyi, era ne battira Matani kabona wa Baali mu maaso g’ebyoto ebyo. Yekoyaada kabona n’ateekawo abakuumi ku yeekaalu ya Mukama.
19 He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from Yahweh’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings.
Awo n’alaga n’abaduumizi ab’ebibinja b’ekikumi, n’Abakali, n’abakuumi, n’abantu bonna ab’omu nsi ku yeekaalu, n’aggyayo kabaka mu yeekaalu ya Mukama n’amutwala mu lubiri ng’ayita mu mulyango ogw’abakuumi. Kabaka n’atuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka,
20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.
abantu bonna ab’omu nsi ne bajaguza, n’ekibuga n’ekitereera, kubanga Asaliya yali attiddwa n’ekitala okumpi n’olubiri.
21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
Yekoyaasi yali aweza emyaka musanvu bwe yatandika okufuga.
