2 Weche Mag Ndalo 23
1 E higa mar abiriyo Jehoyada nonyiso tekone. Ne otimo winjruok kod jotend migepe mag jolweny mia achiel magin Azaria wuod Jeroham gi Ishmael wuod Jehohanan gi Azaria wuod Obed gi Maseya wuod Adaya kaachiel gi Elishafat wuod Zikri.
But in the seventh year, Jehoiada had the courage to act. He made a pledge with the commanders of hundreds: Azariah, son of Jeroham, Ishmael, son of Jehohanan, Azariah, son of Obed, Maaseiah, son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, son of Zichri.
2 Ne giwuotho e piny Juda duto ka gichoko jo-Lawi kaachiel gi jotend anywola mag Israel moa e mier duto. Kane gibiro Jerusalem,
They traveled all over Judah and brought together the Levites from all the cities of Judah and the family leaders of Israel. When they came to Jerusalem,
3 jogo mano chokore notimo winjruok gi ruoth e hekalu mar Nyasaye. Jehoyada nowachonegi niya, “Wuod ruoth nobed e loch kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosingore kuom nyikwa Daudi.
they all assembled at God's Temple and made a solemn agreement with the king. Jehoiada announced to them, “Look, here is the king's son and he must reign, just as the Lord promised the descendants of David would.
4 Koro gima onego utim ema: Achiel kuom adek mar jodolo kod jo-Lawi mabiro dhiyo e tich chiengʼ Sabato biro rito dhoudi,
Here's what you have to do. One third of you priests and Levites who enter on the Sabbath shall guard the entrances.
5 to achiel kuom adek machielo to orit od ruoth, to achiel kuom adek modongʼ to orit Ranga Mise to ji mamoko modongʼ duto to nobed e laru mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Another third shall go over to the king's palace, while the last third shall be at the Foundation Gate. Everyone else stay in the courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
6 Kik uyiene ngʼato angʼata mondo odonj e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye makmana jodolo kod jo-Lawi mopwodhi kendo tiyo odiechiengʼno, to ji mamoko duto to orit tije ma Jehova Nyasaye osemiyogi mondo gitim.
No one should enter the Lord's Temple except the priests and those Levites are serving. They can enter because they have been made holy, but everyone else must follow the Lord's commands.
7 Jo-Lawi nochungʼ kolworo ruoth ka moro ka moro otingʼo gige lweny mage e lwete kendo ngʼato angʼata modonjo e hekalu nyaka negi, bende beduru machiegni gi ruoth kamoro amora modhiye.”
The Levites shall surround the king, weapons in hand. Kill anyone who enters the Temple. Stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
8 Jo-Lawi gi jo-Juda notimo kaka Jehoyada jadolo nochikogi. Jatend migawo ka migawo nokawo joge mane dhi tich chiengʼ Sabato to gi mago mane onego oywe, nikech Jehoyada ne ok omiyo migepe mamokogi thuolo.
The Levites and all the people of Judah did everything that Jehoiada the priest told them. The commanders each brought his men, both those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty, for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed any of the divisions.
9 Eka nomiyo jotend migepe mag jolweny mia achiel tonge kod kuodi kod okumba mano mane mag Ruoth Daudi mane nitie e hekalu mar Nyasaye.
Jehoiada the priest provided the commanders with the spears and the large and small shields of King David that were in God's Temple.
10 Nochano ji duto mondo orit ruoth ka moro ka moro nigi gire mar lweny e lwete, chakre yo milambo nyaka yo nyandwat mar hekalu ka gilworo kendo mar misango kod hekalu.
He placed them all, with their weapons in hand, to surround the king from the south side of the Temple to the north side, and near the altar and the Temple.
11 Eka Jehoyada kod yawuote nogolo wuod ruoth oko mi osidhone osimbo mar loch kendo negimiye kitap chik mi gikete ruoth. Ne giwire ka gigoyo koko niya, “Ruoth mondo odag amingʼa!”
Jehoiada and his sons then brought out the king's son, placed the crown on him, presented him with a copy of God's law, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and shouted out, “Long live the king!”
12 Kane Athalia owinjo koko mar joma ne ringo kendo pako ruoth, nodhi irgi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
When Athaliah heard the noise of people running and shouting praise to the king, she rushed to the crowds at the Lord's Temple.
13 Nongʼicho moneno ruoth kochungʼ e bath siro mar dhoot. Jotelo gi jogo turumbete nochungʼ e bath ruoth kendo ji duto mag pinyno ne mor kendo negigoyo turumbete, to jower magoyo thumbe notelo ni wende pak. Eka Athalia noyiecho lepe kakok niya, “Andhoga! Andhoga!”
She saw the king standing by his pillar at the entrance. The commanders and trumpeters were with the king, and everyone was celebrating and blowing trumpets as the singers with musical instruments led the praise. Athaliah ripped her clothes and screamed out, “Treason! Treason!”
14 Jehoyada nooro jotelo morito migepe mag jolweny mia achiel-ka, ma bende ne gin jotend jolweny kowachonegi niya, “Keleuru e dierwa kendo neguru ngʼato angʼata maluwe.” Nimar jadolo nosewacho niya, “Kik dhakono donj ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
Jehoiada ordered the army commanders, “Bring her to the men standing in front of the Temple, and kill anyone who follows her.” Earlier the priest had made it clear, “She must not be killed in the Lord's Temple.”
15 Omiyo negimake kane ochopo e dhorangaj Farese e kar od ruoth kendo kanyo ema neginege.
They grabbed hold of her and took her to the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's palace, and killed her there.
16 Eka Jehoyada gi ji kod ruoth nosingore ni ginibed jo-Jehova Nyasaye.
Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between himself and all the people and the king that they would be the Lord's people.
17 Ji duto nodhi e hekalu mar Baal kendo negimuke. Negitoyo matindo tindo kende mag misango kaachiel gi nyisechene manono kendo neginego Matan jadolo mar Baal e nyim kendegi mag misango.
Everyone went to the Temple of Baal and tore down its altars and smashed the idols. They killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, right in front of the altar.
18 Bangʼe Jehoyada noketo jorit mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye e bwo jodolo mane gin jo-dhood Lawi mane Daudi omiyo tij hekalu mondo gichiw misengini miwangʼo pep ni Jehova Nyasaye kaka ondikgi e Chik Musa ka gimor kod wer kaka Daudi ne ochikogi.
Jehoiada placed the responsibility for the Lord's Temple in the hands of the Levitical priests. They were the ones whom David had appointed over the Lord's Temple to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, as is required by the Law of Moses, with celebration and singing, as David instructed.
19 Bende noketo jorit dhoudi e rangeye mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo ngʼato angʼata ma ok ler kik donji.
He placed gatekeepers at the entrances to the Lord's Temple, so that no one unclean for any reason could enter.
20 Nokawo jotend migepe mag jolweny mia achiel-ka, jood ruoth, jotend ji kaachiel gi jopinyno duto kendo negigolo ruoth oko mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Negidhi e od ruoth ka giluwo Rangach Mamalo kendo giketo ruoth e kom duongʼne.
Along with the commanders, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people, he led the king in a procession down from the Lord's Temple through the upper gate to the royal palace. There they set the king on the royal throne.
21 Jopinyno duto nobedo gi mor kendo dala maduongʼ nobedo gi kwe, nikech Athalia nosenegi gi ligangla.
All throughout the land people celebrated, and Jerusalem was at peace, because Athaliah had been killed by the sword.
