2 Siangpahrang 11
1 Ahaziah amno Athaliah mah capa duek boeh, tiah panoek naah, angthawk moe, siangpahrang imthung takohnawk to hum boih.
When King Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
2 Toe siangpahrang Joram canu, Ahaziah ih tanuh, Jehosheba mah Ahaziah capa Joash to lak moe, hum han kaom siangpahrang capanawk salak hoiah paquk ving; anih hoi anih khenzawnkung Athaliah khae hoi loih thai hanah, imthung ah a hawk ving; to pongah anih loe hum ih kaminawk thungah athum ai.
So Ahaziah’s sons were all about to be murdered. But Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s half-sister, took Ahaziah’s [very young] son Joash and hid him and (his nursemaid/the woman who took care of him) in a bedroom [in the temple]. So he was not killed.
3 Anih loe Athaliah mah prae uk nathung, angmah khenzawnkung hoiah nawnto saning tarukto thung anghawk.
He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
4 Saning sarihto naah loe, Jehoiada mah misatuh kami cumvaito ukkungnawk, misatuh angraengnawk hoi misatoep kaminawk boih, angmah khaeah Angraeng ih tempul ah angzoh hanah kawk; nihcae hoi nawnto lokmaihaih to a sak moe, Angraeng im ah nihcae to lokkamhaih saksak. To pacoengah siangpahrang capa to nihcae khaeah patuek.
But during the next year, Jehoiada the Supreme Priest summoned the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards and the palace guards. He told them to come to the temple. There he required them to solemnly promise that they would do what he told them to do. And he showed King Ahaziah’s son Joash to them.
5 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Hae hmuen hae na sak o han oh; Sabath niah akun kami abu thumto thungah maeto mah siangpahrang im to toep oh;
He gave them these instructions: “There are three groups of you guards. When one group finishes their work on the Sabbath day, [divide yourselves into] three smaller groups. One group must guard the palace.
6 thumto thungah maeto mah Sur khongkha to toep oh, kalah thumto thungah maeto bae mah misatoep kami ohhaih hnukbang ih khongkha to toep oh, tempul amro han ai ah to tiah toep oh.
Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
7 Sabbath niah toksak han tacawt kami abu thumto thungah maeto mah siangpahrang taeng ih Angraeng im to toep oh.
The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
8 Siangpahrang taengah om oh loe, kami boih ban ah maiphawmaica to sin oh; nangcae ohhaih ahmuen thungah akun kaminawk to hum o boih ah; siangpahrang caehhaih hoi akunhaih ahmuen to toep o boih ah, tiah a naa.
You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
9 Qaima Jehoiada mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, cumvaito ukkung misatuh angraengnawk mah sak o; Sabbath niah angzo kami hoi tacawt kaminawk boih qaima Jehoida khaeah caeh o.
The officers [who supervised the guards] did what Jehoiada told them to do. Each one brought to Jehoiada the guards that he supervised—the guards who were just finishing their work and those who were about to start their work on the Sabbath day.
10 Qaima mah Angraeng imthung ah kaom, David ih tayae hoi aphawnawk to cumvaito ukkung misatuh angraengnawk khaeah paek.
The priest distributed to the commanders of the guards the spears and shields that had belonged to King David, that were kept/stored in the temple.
11 Misatoep kaminawk loe ban ah maiphawmaica to sin o boih; siangpahrang taengah oh o moe, hmaicam hoi tempul taengah, tempul takii aluek aloih bangah oh o boih.
Then he commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each one with his sword in his hand, all around the young king.
12 Jehoiada mah siangpahrang capa to angzoh haih; angraeng lumuek to angmueksak moe, anih to cabu hoiah lokkamhaih saksak; to pacoengah anih to siangpahrang ah taphong o. Anih to situi bawh o; kaminawk loe, Siangpahrang hinglung sawk nasoe, tiah ban tabaeng hoiah hangh o.
Then he brought Joash out. He put the crown on his head and gave him a scroll on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey]. Then he poured some olive oil on Joash’s head and proclaimed that he was now the king. The people all clapped their hands and shouted, “We desire/hope that the king will live for many years!”
13 Misatoep kaminawk hoi kaminawk hanghaih lok to Athaliah mah thaih naah, kaminawk ohhaih Angraeng im ah caeh.
When Athaliah heard the noise that was being made by the guards and the other people, she ran to the temple, where the people were gathered.
14 Anih mah doeng naah, khenah, Judah atawk baktiah siangpahrang loe homh maeto taengah angdoet, siangpahrang taengah angraengnawk hoi mongkah ueng kaminawk to oh o, prae kaminawk loe anghoe o moe, kaminawk mah mongkah to ueng o, tiah a hnuk naah, Athaliah mah angmah ih kahni to asih moe, Prae nuiah oep om ai kami, prae nuiah oep om ai kami, tiah a hangh.
She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and [some of] them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes [to show her distress] and shouted, “You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!”
15 Qaima Jehoiada mah cumvaito misatuh zaehoikung angraengnawk, misatuh khenzawnkungnawk khaeah, Anih to Angraeng imthung ah hum o hmah, tasa bangah pathok oh, to nongpata hnukbang kami loe sumsen hoiah hum oh, tiah a naa.
Jehoiada [immediately] said, “Kill her, but do not kill her here at the temple of Yahweh! Take her away between two rows of guards. And kill anyone who tries to rescue her!”
16 Athaliah to naeh o moe, siangpahrang im akunhaih hrang angthuenghaih loklam ah caeh o haih moe, to ah anih to hum o.
[She tried to flee, but] the guards seized her and took her to the palace, to the place where horses enter the courtyard. They killed her there.
17 Jehoiada mah siangpahrang hoi kaminawk boih Angraeng ih kami ah oh o hanah, Agraeng hoi lokmaihaih to saksak; siangpahrang hoi kaminawk salakah doeh lokmaihaih saksak let bae vop.
Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between the king and the people, that they would always (obey/be faithful to) Yahweh. He also made an agreement requiring the people to be loyal to Joash their king.
18 Prae thung ih kaminawk boih Baal tempul ah caeh o moe, tempul to phraek o; anih ih hmaicamnawk hoi krangnawk to vah o phaeng moe, Baal ih qaima Mattan to hmaicam hmaa ah hum o. Qaima Jehoiada mah Angraeng ih tempul khen kaminawk to suek.
Then all the people of Israel who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and the statues of Baal. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars. Jehoiada stationed/put guards at the temple of Yahweh.
19 Cumvaito ukkung angraengnawk, misatuh angraengnawk, misatoep kaminawk hoi prae thung ih kaminawk to kawk boih moe, singpahrang to Angraeng ih tempul hoi siangpahrang im ah, misatoep kaminawk ih khongkha caehhaih loklam bang hoiah caeh o haih tathuk pacoengah, angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut o sak.
Then he and the officers of the temple, the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards, and the king’s bodyguards brought the king from the temple to the palace. All the people [followed them]. Joash entered the palace at the Guard Gate and sat down on the throne, [which showed that he was the new king].
20 Prae thung ih kaminawk boih loe anghoe o; Athaliah to siangpahrang im taengah sumsen hoiah hum o boeh pongah, vangpui loe amding rue.
All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
21 Jehoash siangpahrang ah oh amtong naah, saning sarihto ni oh vop.
Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
