2 Ruodhi 11

1 Kane Athalia min Ahazia noneno ni wuode osetho, nodhi mondo otiek dala ruoth duto.

Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and killed all the royal children.

2 To Jehosheba nyar ruoth Jehoram ma nyamin Ahazia, nokawo Joash wuod Ahazia mopande lingʼ-lingʼ mabor kod yawuot ruoth mane koro ochiegni negi. Nyakono nokawe kaachiel gi japite mopandogi e od Athalia mar nindo, omiyo ne ok onege.

But Jehosheba, a daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and hid him away from among the king's sons who were killed, along with his nurse; she put them into a bedroom. They hid him from Athaliah so that he was not killed.

3 Nodongʼ kopande kaachiel gi japite ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kuom higni auchiel e kinde loch Athalia.

He remained with her six years, hidden in the house of Yahweh, while Athaliah reigned over the land.

4 E higa mar abiriyo Jehoyada nooro jotend lweny mag migepe mag ji mia achiel, jo-Kari kod jorit, mokelgi ire ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ne otimo singruok kodgi mi oketogi gikwongʼore e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Bangʼ mano nokelo wuod ruoth mondo gingʼeye.

In the seventh year, Jehoiada sent messages and brought the commanders of hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to himself, into the temple of Yahweh. He made a covenant with them, and he made them swear an oath in the house of Yahweh. Then he showed them the king's son.

5 Nochikogi kowacho niya, “Ma e gima nyaka utim: Achiel kuom adek maru matiyo chiengʼ Sabato nyaka rit kar dak ruoth.

He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do. A third of you who come on the Sabbath will keep watch over the king's house,

6 Achiel kuom adek machielo maru nyaka rit dhoranga Sur. Kendo achiel kuom adek modongʼ nyaka rit alwora mar hekalu. Joritgo duto nyaka rit kar dak ruoth.

and a third will be at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guardhouse.”

7 Migepe ariyo mamoko modongʼ ma ok ti chiengʼ Sabato nyaka rit ruoth e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

The two other groups who are not serving on the Sabbath, you must keep the watch over the house of Yahweh for the king.

8 Rituru ruoth ka ulwore ka ngʼato ka ngʼato otingʼo gige lweny e lwete. Ngʼato angʼata mosudo machiegni kodu nyaka negi. Beduru machiegni gi ruoth kamoro amora modhiye.”

You must surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever enters within your ranks, let him be killed. You must stay with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.

9 Jotend ji mia achiel mane ni e migepe adekgo notimo mana kaka Jehoyada jadolo nochikogi. Jatend migawo ka migawo nokawo joge mane dhi tich chiengʼ Sabato to gi mago mane onego oywe, mi giduto negidhi ir Jehoyada jadolo.

So the commanders of hundreds obeyed everything Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one took his men, those who were to come in to serve on the Sabbath, and those who were to stop serving on that Sabbath; and they came to Jehoiada the priest.

10 Eka nomiyo jotend migepe mag jolweny tonge kod kuodi, mane mag ruoth Daudi kendo mane okan e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

Then Jehoiada the priest gave the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields that belonged to King David and that were in the house of Yahweh.

11 Joritgo, 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.

So the guards stood, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side, near the altar and the temple, surrounding the king.

12 Jehoyada nogolo wuod ruoth oko mi osidhone osimbo mar loch; eka nomiye kitap chik mi okete ruoth. Ne giwire ka ji pamo lwetgi ka gigoyo koko niya, “Ruoth mondo odag amingʼa!”

Then Jehoiada brought out the king's son Joash, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant decrees. Then they made him king and anointed him. They clapped their hands and said, “Long live the king!”

13 Kane Athalia owinjo koko mane jorito kod ji goyo, nodhi ir jogo mane ni e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people in the house of Yahweh.

14 Nongʼicho moneno ruoth kochungʼ e bath siro kaka chik jo-Israel ne dwaro. Jotelo gi jogo turumbete nochungʼ e bath ruoth kendo ji duto mag pinyno ne mor kendo negigoyo turumbete. Eka Athalia noyiecho lepe kakok niya, “Andhoga! Andhoga!”

She looked, and, behold, the king was standing by the pillar, as the custom was, and the captains and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”

15 Jehoyada jadolo nogolo chik ne jotend lweny morito migepe mag jolweny mia achiel-ka, ma bende ne gin jotend jolweny kowachonegi niya, “Keleuru e dierwa ka kendo neguru ngʼato angʼata maluwe.” Nimar jadolo nosewacho niya, “Dhakono ok onego negi ei hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.”

Then Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds who were over the army, saying, “Bring her out between the ranks. Anyone who follows her, kill him with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of Yahweh.”

16 Omiyo negimake kane ochopo kama farese donjogo e dala ruoth kendo kanyo ema ne onege.

So they seized her as she reached the place where the horses enter the palace grounds, and there she was killed.

17 Eka Jehoyada nomiyo ruoth kod jo-Israel osingore ne Jehova Nyasaye ni ginibed jo-Jehova Nyasaye. Nomiyo ruoth gi ji otimo singruok e kindgi giwegi.

Then Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and people, that they should be Yahweh's people, and also between the king and the people.

18 Jopinyno nodhi e hekalu mar Baal kendo negimuke piny. Negitoyo matindo tindo kendo mar misango kod nyiseche manono mi ginego Matan jadolo mar Baal e nyim kende mag misango. Bangʼ mano Jehoyada jadolo noketo joma rito hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

So all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal's altars and his idol figures to pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars. Then Jehoida the priest appointed guards over the temple of Yahweh.

19 Nokawo jotend migepe mag jolweny mia achiel-ka, jo-Kari, jorito kod jopinyno duto kendo giduto kanyakla negikelo ruoth koa e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mi gikowe nyaka kare mar dak, ka giluwo dhoranga jorito. Bangʼ mano Joash nobedo e kome mar loch.

Jehoida took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guard, and all the people of the land, and together they brought down the king from the house of Yahweh and they went into the king's house, entering by way of the gate of the guards. Joash took his place on the royal throne.

20 Jopinyno duto nobedo gi mor kendo dala maduongʼ nobedo gi kwe nikech Athalia nosenegi gi ligangla e kar dak ruoth.

So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been killed with the sword at the king's house.

21 Joash ne ja-higni abiriyo kane ochako bedo e loch.

Joash was seven years old when he began to reign.
