2 Kings 11
1 Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom put to death.
Esi Atalia, Ahazia dada kpɔ be ye viŋutsu ku la, eyi ɖawu fia la ƒe ƒometɔwo katã,
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.
Ke Yehoseba, Fia Yoram ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si ganye Ahazia nɔvinyɔnu kplɔ Yoas, Ahazia ƒe viŋutsu eye wòfii dzoe tso fiaviŋutsu siwo wodi be woawu la dome. Etsɔ Yoas kple edzikpɔla ɣla ɖe xɔ aɖe me le gbedoxɔ me eye wòɣlae ɖe Atalia, ale womete ŋu wui o.
3 And for six years she kept him safe in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah was ruling over the land.
Yoas kple eƒe dzikpɔla be ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me ƒe ade le esime Atalia nɔ anyigba la dzi ɖum.
4 Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.
Le Nyɔnufia Atalia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe adrelia me la, nunɔla Yehoiada yɔ fiasãŋudzɔlawo kple fiaŋudzɔlawo ƒe amegãwo ƒo ƒu. Edo go wo le gbedoxɔ la me eye wòna woka atam nɛ be yewomagblɔe na ame aɖeke o. Ale wòtsɔ fiavi la fia wo
5 And he gave them orders, saying, This is what you are to do: the third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the king's house,
eye wòde se na wo gblɔ bena, “Nu si miawɔ lae nye esi: Mi ame siwo wɔa dɔ le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi la ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia ɖeka adzɔ fiasã la ŋu.
Akpa etɔ̃awo dometɔ ɖeka nanɔ Sur gbo la ŋu dzɔm eye akpa mamlɛa nanɔ agbo si le gbedoxɔ ƒe agbo si le ame si dzɔa gbedoxɔ la ŋu la megbe.
7 And the two divisions of you, who go out on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the house of the Lord,
Mi ame siwo le akpa eve bubuawo me la, ame siwo mewɔa dɔ le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi o la, miawo midzɔ gbedoxɔ la ŋu na fia la.
8 Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.
Miɖe to ɖe fia la, eye ame sia ame nalé aʋawɔnu ɖe asi. Woawu ame sia ame si adi be yeadze mi. Minɔ fia la ŋu kplikplikpli.”
9 And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.
Aʋafia si kpɔa asrafo alafa ɖeka dzi la wɔ nunɔla Yehoiada ƒe ɖoɖoawo dzi. Aʋafiawo kplɔ ame siwo manɔ dɔ me le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi o kple esiwo anɔ dɔ me gbe ma gbe la siaa yi na nunɔla Yehoiada.
10 And 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 the Lord.
Etsɔ Fia David ƒe akplɔ kple akpoxɔnu siwo nɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me de asi na aʋafiawo.
11 Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house.
Dzɔla ɖe sia ɖe lé eƒe aʋawɔnu ɖe asi eye wonɔ tsitre ƒo xlã fia la, ame si te ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu le gbedoxɔ la me. Woɖe to ɖee tso gbedoxɔ la ƒe dziehe yi anyiehe.
12 Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.
Yehoiada kplɔ fiavi ŋutsuvi la do goe, ɖɔ fiakuku nɛ; tsɔ Nubabla ƒe seawo de asi nɛ eye wòɖoe fiae. Esi ami nɛ, ame sia ame ƒo asikpe kplokplokplo eye wodo ɣli sesĩe be, “Fia nenɔ agbe tegbee!”
13 Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;
Esi Atalia se ame siwo le gbedoxɔa ŋu dzɔm kple ameawo ƒe ɣli la, eyi ɖe ame siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me la gbɔ.
14 And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!
Etsa ŋku eye kpɔ ɖa, fia lae nye ekem, etsi tsitre ɖe sɔti la gbɔ le kɔnu la nu. Dɔdzikpɔlawo kple kpẽkulawo nɔ fia la xa eye anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã nɔ aseye tsom henɔ kpẽawo kum. Tete Atalia dze eƒe awuwo eye wòdo ɣli be, “Nugbeɖoɖoe! Nugbeɖoɖoe!”
15 Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to those who were placed in 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 he said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
Nunɔla Yehoiada de se na ame siwo nɔ asrafo alafa ɖekawo nu, ame siwo nɔ aʋawɔlawo dzi kpɔm la be, “Mikplɔe to ameawo dome vɛ eye miawu ame sia ame si adze eyome.” Elabena nunɔla la gblɔ do ŋgɔ be, “Migawui ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me o.”
16 So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the horses, and there she was put to death.
Ale wolée le Sɔgbo la nu le fiasã la me eye wowui le afi ma.
17 And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people; and in the same way between the king and the people.
Yehoiada wɔ nubabla le Yehowa kple fia la kple dukɔa dome be woanye Yehowa tɔ. Egawɔ nubabla le fia la kple ameawo hã dome.
18 Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.
Wo katã woyi Baal ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wogbãe. Wogbã vɔsamlekpui la kple legbawo le afi ma eye wowu Matan, Baal ƒe nunɔla le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ. Yehoyaɖa ɖo dzɔlawo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.
19 Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.
Eye wòɖe ame alafawo ƒe amegãwo, blafowo kple fiaŋusrafowo kpakple dukɔ hahoo la katã, eye wokplɔ fia la tso Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, to dzɔlawo ƒe aƒe ŋu heyi fiasã la me eye fia la nɔ anyi ɖe fiazikpui la dzi.
20 So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.
Amewo katã kpɔ dzidzɔ le dukɔ la me eye ŋutifafa va dua me azɔ elabena wowu Atalia kple yi le afi ma.
21 And Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.
Yoas xɔ ƒe adre esi wòzu fia.
