2 Mafumu 11

1 Ataliya amayi ake a Ahaziya ataona kuti mwana wawo wafa, ananyamuka nakawononga banja lonse la mfumu.

And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.

2 Koma Yehoseba, mwana wamkazi wa Mfumu Yehoramu, mlongo wake wa Ahaziya, anatenga Yowasi mwana wa Ahaziya, namusunga kutali ndi ana a mfumu amene ankati awaphewo. Anamuyika iye pamodzi ndi mlezi wake mʼchipinda chogona chamʼkati kubisira Ataliya kotero iye sanaphedwe.

And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from amongst the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.

3 Mwanayo anakhala mobisala pamodzi ndi mlezi wake mʼnyumba ya Yehova kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi pamene Ataliya ankalamulira dzikolo.

And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.

4 Koma mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri, Yehoyada anatumiza mawu kukayitana atsogoleri olamulira asilikali 100 olondera mfumu ndiponso alonda olonda nyumba yaufumu ndipo anabwera nawo mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Iye anapangana nawo pangano ndipo anawalumbiritsa mʼnyumba ya Yehova. Kenaka anawaonetsa mwana wamwamuna wa mfumu uja.

And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae showed them the king's son.

5 Yehoyada anawalamulira kuti, “Chimene muti muchite ndi ichi: Inu magulu atatu amene muti mudzakhale pa ntchito tsiku la Sabata, gulu loyamba lidzalondera nyumba ya mfumu,

And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you shall do.

6 gulu lachiwiri lidzalondera Chipata cha Suri, ndipo gulu lachitatu lidzalondera chipata cha kumbuyo kwa asilikali amene amasinthana polondera nyumbayo.

Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep you the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep you the guard of the house.

7 Ndipo inu amene muli mʼmagulu ena awiri amene simugwira ntchito pa tsiku la Sabata, nonse mudzalondere mfumu ku nyumbayo.

And there [shall be] two parties amongst you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.

8 Mudzakhale mozungulira mfumuyo, munthu aliyense ali ndi chida mʼmanja mwake. Wina aliyense amene adzakuyandikireni adzayenera kuphedwa. Muzikhala pafupi ndi mfumu kulikonse kumene ikupita.”

And do you compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.

9 Atsogoleri olamulira asilikali 100 aja anachitadi zonse monga analamulira wansembe Yehoyada. Aliyense anatenga anthu ake, iwo amene amakagwira ntchito pa tsiku la Sabata ndi amene amapita kukapuma ndipo anabwera kwa wansembe Yehoyada.

And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.

10 Ndipo wansembeyo anawapatsa asilikaliwo mikondo ndi zishango zimene zinali za mfumu Davide ndipo zinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova.

And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.

11 Alondawo, aliyense ali ndi chida mʼmanja mwake, anayima mozungulira mfumu, pafupi ndi guwa lansembe ndi nyumbayo, kuchokera mbali ya kummwera mpaka mbali ya kumpoto kwa nyumbayo.

And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.

12 Yehoyada anatulutsa mwana wa mfumuyo namuveka chipewa chaufumu ndipo anamupatsa Buku la Chipangano ndi kumuyika kukhala mfumu. Iwo anamudzoza ndipo anthu anamuwombera mʼmanja akufuwula kuti, “Mfumu ikhale ndi moyo wautali!”

And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.

13 Ataliya atamva phokoso limene alonda ndi anthuwo amachita, anapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova kumene kunali anthuwo.

And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.

14 Iye anayangʼana naona mfumu itayima pa chipilala, potsata mwambo waufumu. Atsogoleri a asilikali ndi oyimba malipenga anali pafupi ndi mfumuyo, ndipo anthu onse a mʼderalo ankasangalala ndi kuyimba malipenga. Pamenepo Ataliya anangʼamba mkanjo wake nafuwula kuti, “Kuwukira! Kuwukira!”

And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia tore her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.

15 Wansembe Yehoyada analamula atsogoleri a asilikali 100 amene amayangʼanira asilikaliwo kuti, “Mutulutseni ameneyo pakati panu ndipo muphe ndi lupanga aliyense amene adzamutsata.” Pakuti nʼkuti wansembeyo atanena kuti, “Ataliyayo asaphedwere mʼNyumba ya Yehova.”

And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.

16 Choncho anamugwira pamene amafika pa malo amene akavalo amalowera ku nyumba ya mfumu ndipo anamuphera pamenepo.

And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.

17 Tsono Yehoyada anachititsa pangano pakati pa Yehova ndi mfumu ndi anthu kuti adzakhala anthu a Yehova. Iye anachititsanso pangano pakati pa mfumu ndi anthu.

And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.

18 Anthu onse a mʼdzikomo anapita ku nyumba ya Baala nakayigwetsa. Iwo anaphwanya kotheratu maguwa ansembe ndi mafano ake ndipo anapha Matani wansembe wa Baala patsogolo pa maguwa pomwepo. Pamenepo wansembe Yehoyada anasankha oyangʼanira Nyumba ya Yehova.

And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they killed Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.

19 Iye anatenga atsogoleri a asilikali 100 aja, alonda olonda nyumba yaufumu pamodzi ndi anthu onse a mʼdzikomo ndipo onse pamodzi anayitulutsa mfumu mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi kukalowa ku nyumba yaufumu podzera pa chipata cha alonda. Ndipo mfumuyo inakhala pa mpando wake waufumu.

And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.

20 Choncho anthu onse a mʼdzikomo anasangalala. Ndipo mu mzindamo munakhala bata chifukwa Ataliya nʼkuti ataphedwa ndi lupanga ku nyumba ya mfumu.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they killed Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.

21 Yowasi anali wa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri pamene anayamba kulamulira.

Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
