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,

And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant 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 they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and they came 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.

And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of 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.

And this is the thing 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.

A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters, shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king’s house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the 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.

And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep 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.

And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; (and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; ) and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out.

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.

So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest bad commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every 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 Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets 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 set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about 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 brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king.

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.

Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into 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 saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and 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.

And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded 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 hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there.

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

And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should 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 all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan 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.

And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David.

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

He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in.

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 captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king’s house, and set 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 rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword.
