< 2 Chronicles 23 >

1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, Azariah, the son of Obed, Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka wa mũgwanja Jehoiada nĩonanirie hinya wake. Nĩathondekire kĩrĩkanĩro na anene a ita a thigari 100 nao maarĩ: Azaria mũrũ wa Jerohamu, na Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Jehohanani, na Azaria mũrũ wa Obedi, na Maaseia mũrũ wa Adaia, na Elishafatu mũrũ wa Zikiri.
2 And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.
Nao magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Juda wothe makĩũnganagia Alawii na atongoria a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli kuuma matũũra-inĩ mothe. Rĩrĩa mookire Jerusalemu-rĩ,
3 And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.
kĩũngano gĩothe nĩkĩagĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na mũthamaki kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai. Jehoiada akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ wa mũthamaki no nginya athamake, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ njiaro cia Daudi.
4 This is what you are to do: let a third of you, of the priests and Levites, who come in on the Sabbath, keep the doors;
Na rĩrĩ, ũũ nĩguo mũgwĩka: Gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ kĩa inyuĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa megũthiĩ wĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ mũrangĩre mĩrango,
5 And a third are to be stationed at the king's house; and a third at the doorway of the horses: while all the people are waiting in the open spaces round the house of the Lord.
gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ kĩanyu mũrangĩre nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ mũrangĩre kĩhingo kĩa mũthingi, nao andũ acio angĩ othe maikare nja cia hekarũ ya Jehova.
6 But let no one come into the house of the Lord but only the priests and those of the Levites who have work to do there; they may go in for they are holy; but the rest of the people are to keep the orders of the Lord.
Mũtikanareke mũndũ o na ũmwe atoonye hekarũ ya Jehova tiga o athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa marĩ wĩra-inĩ; acio no matoonye tondũ nĩ aamũre, no andũ acio angĩ othe marangĩre kĩrĩa Jehova oigĩte marangĩre.
7 And the Levites are to make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and any man who comes into the house is to be put to death; you are to keep with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.
Alawii makeiga mathiũrũrũkĩirie mũthamaki, o mũndũ arĩ na indo ciake cia mbaara guoko-inĩ. Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtoonya hekarũ no nginya oragwo. Ikaragai hakuhĩ na mũthamaki kũrĩa guothe angĩthiĩ.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.
Nao Alawii na andũ othe a Juda magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai aathanire. O mũndũ akĩoya andũ ake arĩa maathiiaga wĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ na arĩa moimagĩra wĩra, nĩgũkorwo Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ndarĩ gĩkundi o na kĩmwe aarekereirie.
9 Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's and which were kept in the house of God.
Ningĩ akĩhe anene a ita a thigari 100 matimũ na ngo iria nene na nini iria ciarĩ cia Mũthamaki Daudi iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai.
10 And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.
Akĩrũgamia andũ othe, o mũndũ na indo ciake cia mbaara, magĩthiũrũrũkĩria mũthamaki, hau hakuhĩ na kĩgongona, na hakuhĩ na hekarũ, kuuma mwena wa gũthini nginya mwene wa gathigathini wayo.
11 Then they made the king's son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.
Jehoiada na ariũ ake makĩruta mũriũ wa mũthamaki na makĩmwĩkĩra thũmbĩ ya ũthamaki; makĩmũnengera ibuku rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro na makĩanĩrĩra atĩ nĩwe mũthamaki. Makĩmũitĩrĩria maguta na makĩanĩrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arotũũra nginya tene!”
12 Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:
Rĩrĩa Athalia aaiguire inegene rĩa andũ makĩhanyũka magĩkũngũyagĩra mũthamaki, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
13 And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!
Agĩcũthĩrĩria, na akĩona mũthamaki arũgamĩte gĩtugĩ-inĩ gĩake itoonyero-inĩ. Nao anene na ahuhi tũrumbeta marũgamĩte hakuhĩ na mũthamaki, na andũ othe a bũrũri magagĩkena makĩhuhaga tũrumbeta, nao aini marĩ na indo cia kũina magatongoria andũ arĩa angĩ na nyĩmbo cia kũgooca. Nake Athalia agĩtembũranga nguo ciake cia igũrũ, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ungumania! Ungumania!”
14 Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
Nake Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩtũma anene a ita a thigari igana igana, arĩa maarĩ arũgamĩrĩri a mbũtũ cia ita, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrutũrũrei, mũmũrehe arĩ gatagatĩ ga thigari, na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩmuuma thuutha, oragwo.” Nĩgũkorwo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamũũragĩre hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.”
15 So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the king's horses; and there she was put to death.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũnyiita, agĩkinya itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Kĩhingo kĩa Mbarathi, o kũu nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, makĩmũũragĩra hau.
16 And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord's people.
Nake Jehoiada akĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro atĩ we, na andũ, na mũthamaki megũtuĩka andũ a Jehova.
17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.
Nao andũ othe magĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Baali na makĩmĩtharia. Makiunanga igongona na mĩhianano na makĩũragĩra Matani ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Baali hau mbere ya igongona icio.
18 And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said.
Ningĩ Jehoiada akĩneana ũrũgamĩrĩri wa hekarũ ya Jehova moko-inĩ ma athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii, arĩa maaheetwo wĩra hekarũ-inĩ nĩ Daudi, marutagĩre Jehova magongona ma njino o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Musa, o makĩinaga na magakena o ta ũrĩa Daudi aathanĩte.
19 And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord's house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.
O na ningĩ nĩaigire aikaria a mĩrango ihingo-inĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe ũtetheretie ũngĩtoonya.
20 Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.
Akĩoya anene a ita thigari igana, na anene arĩa angĩ, na aathani a andũ, na andũ othe a bũrũri, magĩikũrũkia mũthamaki kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova. Magĩtoonya nyũmba ya ũthamaki magereire Kĩhingo kĩa Rũgongo na magĩikarĩria mũthamaki gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene,
21 So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
nao andũ othe a bũrũri magĩkena. Narĩo itũũra inene rĩkĩhoorera, tondũ Athalia nĩarĩkĩtie kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
