2 Setouknae 23

1 A kum sarinae dawk Jehoiada teh, amahoima a thakâla teh, ransa 100 touh kahrawikungnaw Jehoram capa Azariah, Jehohanan capa Ishmael Obed capa Azariah, Adai capa Maaseiah,

Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada having been strengthened, he took the centurions, namely, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, and also Azariah, the son of Obed, and Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri, and he formed a pact with them.

2 hahoi, Judah ram a lawngven awh teh, Judah ram kho tangkuem e Levihnaw hoi Isarel imthung kahrawikungnaw a pâkhueng awh teh, Jerusalem lah bout a tho awh.

And traveling through Judah, they gathered together the Levites from all of the cities of Judah, and the leaders of the families of Israel, and they went to Jerusalem.

3 Kamkhuengnaw pueng ni Cathut im dawk siangpahrang hoi lawkkamnae a sak awh. Hahoi Jehoiada ni ahnimouh koevah, khenhaw! BAWIPA ni Devit capanaw e kong dawk a dei tangcoung e patetlah, a uknaeram bawitungkhung dawk siangpahrang lah ao hanelah ao.

Then the entire multitude formed a pact with the king, in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them: “Behold, the son of the king shall reign, just as the Lord has said concerning the sons of David.

4 Nangmouh ni na sak awh hane teh, sabbath hnin vah ka tho e vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw thung dawk hu thum touh dawk hu touh ni longkha a ring awh han.

Therefore, this is the word that you shall do:

5 Hu touh teh siangpahrang im dawk ao awh vaiteh, hu touh teh longkha koe, alouknaw pueng teh BAWIPA im thongma dawk na o awh han.

One third part of you who arrive on the Sabbath, priests, and Levites, and porters, shall be at the gates. Truly, one third part shall be at the house of the king. And one third shall be at the gate which is called the Foundation. Yet truly, let all the remainder of the common people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.

6 Hatei, vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hoeh laipateh, apihai BAWIPA im dawk kâen mahoeh. Ahnimouh teh a kâen thai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh a thoung awh. Taminaw pueng teh BAWIPA hah ring awh naseh.

Let no one else enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests, and those from the Levites who are ministering. These alone may enter, for they have been sanctified. And let all the remainder of the common people observe the watches of the Lord.

7 Levihnaw ni senehmaica patuep laihoi siangpahrang kalup awh naseh. Hahoi imthung kâennaw pueng teh thei lah ao han. Siangpahrang a tâco, a kâen nah pou awm sin awh telah lawk a thui.

Then let the Levites encircle the king, each one having his weapons. And if anyone else will have entered into the temple, let him be slain. And may they be with the king, both entering and departing.”

8 Hottelah Judahnaw hoi Levihnaw pueng ni vaihma Jehoiada e kâpoelawk patetlah a sak awh. Lengkaleng a uk awh e patetlah sabbath hnin vah ka tho hane hoi sabbath hnin vah ka ban hane naw hah a ceikhai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaihma Jehoiada ni ka ban hane naw ban sak hoeh rah.

Then the Levites, and all of Judah, acted in accord with all that the high priest Jehoiada had instructed. And each of them took the men who were under him, and who were arriving by the course of the Sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the Sabbath and who were about to depart. For indeed the high priest Jehoiada had not permitted the companies to depart, which were accustomed to replace one another each week.

9 Vaihma Jehoiada ni Cathut im dawk e Devit e tahroenaw, bahling kathoungnaw hoi kalennaw a la teh ransa 100 touh kauknaw koe a poe.

And Jehoiada, the priest, gave to the centurions the lances and round shields and crescent shields of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.

10 Senehmaica ka patuem e tami pueng teh, siangpahrang petkâkalup lah avoilae im takin koehoi aranglae im takin totouh thuengnae khoungroe hoi im takin totouh a hruek awh.

And he positioned all the people, holding short swords, from the right part of the temple to the left part of the temple, before the altar and the temple, all around the king.

11 Hottelah siangpahrang capa a tâcokhai awh teh, bawilukhung a kâmuk sak hnukkhu, lawkpanuesaknae a poe awh teh, siangpahrang a tawk sak awh. Jehoiada hoi a capanaw ni satui a awi awh teh, siangpahrang hringsaw seh, telah ati awh.

And they led out the son of the king. And they imposed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they gave him the law to hold in his hand. And they appointed him as king. Also, the high priest Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. And they prayed for him, and said, “May the king live!”

12 Taminaw a yawng awh e pawlawk hoi siangpahrang a pholen awh e Athaliah ni a thai toteh, BAWIPA im dawk e taminaw koe a cei.

And when Athaliah had heard it, specifically the sound of running and the praising of the king, she entered to the people in the temple of the Lord.

13 A khet navah, im takhang koe e khomkung koe siangpahrang a kangdue teh, ateng e ransabawinaw hoi mongka kauengkungnaw, hote ram dawk e taminaw pueng teh, a lung thouk ahawi awh. Mongka thouk a ueng awh teh, la kasaknaw ni tumkhawng khawng laihoi pholen la a sak awh. Hahoi Athaliah ni a khohna a phi teh, youknae taran doeh, youknae taran doeh, telah a hram.

And when she had seen the king standing upon the step at the entrance, and the leaders and companies around him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets, and playing on instruments of various kinds, and the voice of those who were praising, she tore her garments, and she said: “Treason! Treason!”

14 Vaihma Jehoiada ni BAWIPA e im thung thet awh hanh. Alawilah hrawi awh. Ahni koelah kampang e tami teh tahloi hoi thet awh telah ransa 100 touh ka uk e ransabawi koe lawk a thui tangcoung e patetlah.

Then the high priest Jehoiada, going out to the centurions and to the leaders of the army, said to them: “Lead her away, beyond the borders of the temple. And let her be put to death outside, with the sword.” And the priest instructed that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.

15 Athaliah a man awh teh, siangpahrang im ceinae marang kâennae lamthung koe a pha awh navah a thei awh.

And they laid hands on her neck. And when she had entered the gate for the horses at the king’s house, they put her to death there.

16 Hahoi Jehoiada ni ama hoi a taminaw pueng hoi siangpahrang rahak vah BAWIPA e tami lah ao thai nahanelah lawkkamnae a sak.

Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between himself and the entire people, and the king, so that they would be the people of the Lord.

17 Taminaw pueng teh Baal im vah a cei awh teh a raphoe awh. Thuengnae khoungroenaw hoi meikaphawknaw reprep a dei awh teh, Baal vaihma Mattan hah thuengnae khoungroenaw e hmalah a thei awh.

And so, all the people entered into the house of Baal, and they destroyed it. And they broke apart his altars and idols. Also, they put to death Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars.

18 Jehoiada ni Mosi e kâlawk cauk dawk a thut e patetlah lunghawinae la sak laihoi Devit ni, BAWIPA im dawk BAWIPA koe hmaisawi thuengnae thueng sak hanelah, a pouk tangcoung e vaihma, Levihnaw e kut rahim thaw tawk hanelah Devit ni kâ a poe e patetlah BAWIPA im ka khenyawn hanelah a hmoun.

Then Jehoiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests and Levites, whom David had distributed to the house of the Lord so that they might offer holocausts to the Lord, just as it was written in the law of Moses, with gladness and singing, in accord with the disposition of David.

19 Kathounghoehe tami kâen thai hoeh nahanelah, BAWIPA im longkha ka ring hanelah a rawi.

Also, he appointed porters at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that whoever was unclean for any reason would not enter.

20 Tami 100 touh kahrawikung hoi tamimaya kahrawikung hanelah, ram thung e taminaw a la teh, ahnimanaw ni BAWIPA im dawk hoi siangpahrang a thokhai awh teh, lathueng lae longkha koe lahoi siangpahrang im dawk a thokhai awh. Hahoi siangpahrang teh bawitungkhung dawk a tahung sak awh.

And he took the centurions, and the most valiant men, and the leaders of the people, and all the common people of the land, and they set out to descend to the king, from the house of the Lord, and to enter through the middle of the upper gate, to the house of the king. And they placed him on the royal throne.

21 Hatdawkvah, ram thung e tami pueng teh a lunghawi awh. Tahloi hoi Athaliah a thei awh hnukkhu khopui teh a roum.

And all the people of the land were rejoicing, and the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword.
