2 Manghai 11
1 Ahaziah manu Athaliah loh a capa a duek te a sawt tih a hmuh vaengah thoo tih a ram kah tiingan boeih te a thup.
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 Tedae Manghai Joram canu, Ahaziah ngannu Jehosheba loh Ahaziah capa Joash te a loh. Te vaengah manghai ca rhoek aka ngawn rhoek kah dueknah khui lamloh anih te a huen. Te phoeiah anih te Athaliah mikhmuh lamloh cakhoem imkhui kah baiphaih dongah a thuh dongah duek pawh.
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 taengla BOEIPA im ah kum rhuk a thuh vaengah Athaliah loh khohmuen a manghai thil.
He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
4 A kum rhih dongah Jehoiada a tah. Te vaengah yakhat mangpa rhoek te pumoepnah ham neh imtawt hamla hlang yakhat a khuen. Amih te BOEIPA im ah amah taengla a khuen tih amih neh paipi a saii. Te phoeiah amih te BOEIPA im ah a toemngam tih manghai capa te amih a tueng.
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 Te phoeiah amih te a uen tih, “He ol bangla saii uh. Nangmih Sabbath kah aka pawk rhoek te hlop thum ah hlop at loh manghai im kah tuemkoi te ngaithuen saeh.
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 Hlop thum ah hlop at te Sur vongka ah, hlop thum ah hlop at te a hnukah kah vongka ah tawt uh saeh lamtah im kah a kuek te tloetloep ngaithuen uh.
Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
7 Nangmih Sabbath kah aka pawk boeih khuiah hlop nit loh BOEIPA im kah a kuek te manghai yueng la ngaithuen uh saeh.
The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
8 Manghai kaepvai ah hlang loh a kut dongkah a tubael neh vael uh lamtah rhongpai taengla aka pawk tah duek saeh. Manghai a kun vaengah khaw a vuenva vaengah anih taengah om uh,” a ti nah.
You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
9 A cungkuem dongah khosoih Jehoiada kah a uen bangla yakhat kah mangpa yakhat loh a saii. Te dongah Sabbath aka paan hlang loh Sabbath aka paan taengah tah amah kah hlang rhoek te a khuen uh tih khosoih Jehoiada taengla pawk uh.
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 Te vaengah khosoih loh yakhat kah mangpa, yakhat rhoek taengah BOEIPA im ah manghai David hut la aka om caai neh photling te a 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 Te dongah hlang aka tawt rhoek te a kut dongkah a tubael neh im kaep bantang lamloh im kaep kah banvoei hil, hmueihtuk taeng neh im taengkah manghai taengah pin pai uh.
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 Te vaengah manghai capa te a khuen tih anih te rhuisam neh olphong te a tloeng thil. Anih te a manghai sak tih a koelh vaengah tah kut a paeng uh tih, “Manghai tah hing pai saeh,” a ti uh.
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 Pilnam aka tawt ol te Athaliah loh a yaak daengah BOEIPA im kah pilnam taengla pawk.
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 A sawt vaengah a khosing vanbangla manghai te tung taengah tarha ana pai coeng. Mangpa rhoek neh olueng rhoek khaw manghai taengah pai tih khohmuen pilnam boeih khaw a kohoe uh. Olueng te a ueng vaengah tah Athaliah loh a himbai te a phen tih, “Lairhui ni, lairhui ni,” tila pang.
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 Te vaengah khosoih Jehoiada loh caem aka puei yakhat mangpa yakhat te a uen tih amih te, “Khosoih loh, ‘BOEIPA im ah duek boel saeh,’ a ti coeng dongah anih te im lamloh rhongpai kah la khuen uh lamtah a hnukkah aka bang khaw cunghang neh duek saeh,” a ti nah.
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 Anih te kut a hlah thil tih manghai im kah marhang khuirhai longpuei a pha vaengah pahoi duek.
[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 loh BOEIPA laklo neh manghai laklo ah khaw pilnam laklo ah khaw paipi a saii. BOEIPA kah pilnam la om sak ham te manghai laklo neh pilnam laklo ah a saii.
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 Khohmuen pilnam boeih te Baal im a paan uh tih a hmueihtuk te a palet uh. A muei te khaw phaeng a neet uh. Baal khosoih Mattan te khaw hmueihtuk hmai ah a ngawn uh tih khosoih loh BOEIPA im dongah cawhkung te a khueh.
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 Te phoeiah yakhat mangpa rhoek neh pumoepnah te khaw, imtawt rhoek neh khohmuen pilnam boeih te khaw a khuen. Manghai te BOEIPA im lamloh a suntlak puei uh tih manghai im kah imtawt vongka longpuei la pawk. Te phoeiah manghai te ngolkhoel dongah ngol.
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 Te vaengah khohmuen pilnam boeih a kohoe tih khopuei khaw mong coeng. Tedae Athaliah tah manghai im kah manghai cunghang neh a duek sak uh.
All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
21 Jehoash he kum rhih a lo ca vaengah manghai coeng.
Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
