2 Kings 11
1 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs.
Ataliya amayi ake a Ahaziya ataona kuti mwana wawo wafa, ananyamuka nakawononga banja lonse la mfumu.
2 But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah, and he was not killed.
Koma Yehoseba, mwana wamkazi wa Mfumu Yehoramu, mlongo wake wa Ahaziya, anatenga Yowasi mwana wa Ahaziya, namusunga kutali ndi ana a mfumu amene ankati awaphewo. Anamuyika iye pamodzi ndi mlezi wake mʼchipinda chogona chamʼkati kubisira Ataliya kotero iye sanaphedwe.
3 And Joash remained hidden with his nurse in the house of the LORD for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
Mwanayo anakhala mobisala pamodzi ndi mlezi wake mʼnyumba ya Yehova kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi pamene Ataliya ankalamulira dzikolo.
4 Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards, and had them brought into the house of the LORD. There he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s son
Koma mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri, Yehoyada anatumiza mawu kukayitana atsogoleri olamulira asilikali 100 olondera mfumu ndiponso alonda olonda nyumba yaufumu ndipo anabwera nawo mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Iye anapangana nawo pangano ndipo anawalumbiritsa mʼnyumba ya Yehova. Kenaka anawaonetsa mwana wamwamuna wa mfumu uja.
5 and commanded them, “This is what you are to do: A third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall guard the royal palace,
Yehoyada anawalamulira kuti, “Chimene muti muchite ndi ichi: Inu magulu atatu amene muti mudzakhale pa ntchito tsiku la Sabata, gulu loyamba lidzalondera nyumba ya mfumu,
6 a third shall be at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns guarding the temple—
gulu lachiwiri lidzalondera Chipata cha Suri, ndipo gulu lachitatu lidzalondera chipata cha kumbuyo kwa asilikali amene amasinthana polondera nyumbayo.
7 the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the king.
Ndipo inu amene muli mʼmagulu ena awiri amene simugwira ntchito pa tsiku la Sabata, nonse mudzalondere mfumu ku nyumbayo.
8 You must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
Mudzakhale mozungulira mfumuyo, munthu aliyense ali ndi chida mʼmanja mwake. Wina aliyense amene adzakuyandikireni adzayenera kuphedwa. Muzikhala pafupi ndi mfumu kulikonse kumene ikupita.”
9 So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
Atsogoleri olamulira asilikali 100 aja anachitadi zonse monga analamulira wansembe Yehoyada. Aliyense anatenga anthu ake, iwo amene amakagwira ntchito pa tsiku la Sabata ndi amene amapita kukapuma ndipo anabwera kwa wansembe Yehoyada.
10 Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of King David from the house of the LORD.
Ndipo wansembeyo anawapatsa asilikaliwo mikondo ndi zishango zimene zinali za mfumu Davide ndipo zinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
11 And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
Alondawo, aliyense ali ndi chida mʼmanja mwake, anayima mozungulira mfumu, pafupi ndi guwa lansembe ndi nyumbayo, kuchokera mbali ya kummwera mpaka mbali ya kumpoto kwa nyumbayo.
12 Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and declared, “Long live the king!”
Yehoyada anatulutsa mwana wa mfumuyo namuveka chipewa chaufumu ndipo anamupatsa Buku la Chipangano ndi kumuyika kukhala mfumu. Iwo anamudzoza ndipo anthu anamuwombera mʼmanja akufuwula kuti, “Mfumu ikhale ndi moyo wautali!”
13 When Athaliah heard the noise from the guards and the people, she went out to the people in the house of the LORD.
Ataliya atamva phokoso limene alonda ndi anthuwo amachita, anapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova kumene kunali anthuwo.
14 And she looked out and saw the king standing by the pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
Iye anayangʼana naona mfumu itayima pa chipilala, potsata mwambo waufumu. Atsogoleri a asilikali ndi oyimba malipenga anali pafupi ndi mfumuyo, ndipo anthu onse a mʼderalo ankasangalala ndi kuyimba malipenga. Pamenepo Ataliya anangʼamba mkanjo wake nafuwula kuti, “Kuwukira! Kuwukira!”
15 And Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
Wansembe Yehoyada analamula atsogoleri a asilikali 100 amene amayangʼanira asilikaliwo kuti, “Mutulutseni ameneyo pakati panu ndipo muphe ndi lupanga aliyense amene adzamutsata.” Pakuti nʼkuti wansembeyo atanena kuti, “Ataliyayo asaphedwere mʼNyumba ya Yehova.”
16 So they seized Athaliah as she reached the horses’ entrance to the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.
Choncho anamugwira pamene amafika pa malo amene akavalo amalowera ku nyumba ya mfumu ndipo anamuphera pamenepo.
17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.
Tsono Yehoyada anachititsa pangano pakati pa Yehova ndi mfumu ndi anthu kuti adzakhala anthu a Yehova. Iye anachititsanso pangano pakati pa mfumu ndi anthu.
18 So all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
Anthu onse a mʼdzikomo anapita ku nyumba ya Baala nakayigwetsa. Iwo anaphwanya kotheratu maguwa ansembe ndi mafano ake ndipo anapha Matani wansembe wa Baala patsogolo pa maguwa pomwepo. Pamenepo wansembe Yehoyada anasankha oyangʼanira Nyumba ya Yehova.
19 He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then Joash took his seat on the royal throne,
Iye anatenga atsogoleri a asilikali 100 aja, alonda olonda nyumba yaufumu pamodzi ndi anthu onse a mʼdzikomo ndipo onse pamodzi anayitulutsa mfumu mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi kukalowa ku nyumba yaufumu podzera pa chipata cha alonda. Ndipo mfumuyo inakhala pa mpando wake waufumu.
20 and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword at the royal palace.
Choncho anthu onse a mʼdzikomo anasangalala. Ndipo mu mzindamo munakhala bata chifukwa Ataliya nʼkuti ataphedwa ndi lupanga ku nyumba ya mfumu.
21 Joash was seven years old when he became king.
Yowasi anali wa zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri pamene anayamba kulamulira.
