< Kings IV 11 >
1 And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
Na, i te kitenga o Ataria, whaea o Ahatia kua mate tana tama, whakatika ana ia, whakamotitia iho nga uri kingi katoa.
2 And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.
Otiia i mau a Iehohepa, tamahine a Kingi Iorama, tuahine o Ahatia ki a Ioaha tama a Ahatia, kahakina atu ana e ia i roto i nga tama a te kingi i whakamatea ra, raua ko tona kaihiki, a kawea ana ki te whare moenga; a huna ana ia e ratou i a Ataria, i kore ai ia e whakamatea.
3 And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.
Na i taua wahine ia i roto i te whare o Ihowa e piri ana, e ono nga tau: a ko Ataria te kuini o te whenua.
4 And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae shewed them the king's son.
Na, i te whitu o nga tau ka unga tangata a Iehoiara ki te tiki i nga rangatira rau, o nga Kariti, o nga kaitiaki kingi, a mauria ana mai ratou ki a ia ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa. Na ka whakarite kawenata ia ki a ratou, ka whakaoati i a ratou i r oto i te whare o Ihowa, a whakakitea ana e ia te tama a te kingi ki a ratou.
5 And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which ye shall do.
Na ka whakahau ia i a ratou, ka mea, Ko tenei ta koutou mea e mea ai: ko te toru o nga wehenga o koutou, o te hunga e haere ki roto i te hapati, hei tiaki i te whare o te kingi;
6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep ye the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep ye the guard of the house.
Ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te kuwaha o Huru; a ko tetahi o nga wehenga hei te kuwaha i muri i nga kaitiaki kingi: ma tena koutou e tiaki ai i te whare, hei arai atu.
7 And there [shall be] two parties among you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.
Na kia rua nga matua o koutou, ko te hunga e haere ana ki waho i te hapati, hei tiaki i te whare o Ihowa i waho ake o te kingi.
8 And do ye compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.
Na me karapoti e koutou te kingi a tawhio noa, ko nga patu a tena, a tena ki tona ringa; a, ko te tangata e haere mai ki roto i nga rarangi, me whakamate: a hei te taha tonu koutou o te kingi i tona haerenga atu, i tona haerenga mai.
9 And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.
Na ka meatia e nga rangatira rau nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Iehoiara tohunga: a ka mau ratou ki ana tangata, ki ana tangata, ki nga mea e haere ana ki roto i te hapati, ki te hunga hoki e haere ana ki waho i te hapati, a haere ana ki a Iehoiara tohunga.
10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.
A i hoatu e te tohunga ki nga rangatira rau nga tao me nga whakapuru tao a Kingi Rawiri; i roto hoki aua mea i te whare o Ihowa.
11 And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.
Na tu ana nga kaitiaki kingi, me a ratou patu i te ringa o tenei, o tenei, i te koki ki matau o te whare, tae noa ki te koki ki maui o te whare, i nga taha o te aata, o te whare, a karapoti noa i te kingi.
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.
Katahi ka whakaputaina mai e ia te tama a te kingi, potaea iho te karauna ki a ia, a hoatu ana ki a ia te whakaaturanga; na whakakingitia ana ia e ratou, whakawahia ana; na kei te pakipaki i o ratou ringa, me te karanga ano, Kia ora te kingi.
13 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
A, i te rongonga o Ataria i te reo o nga kaitiaki ratou ko te iwi, ka haere ia ki te iwi ki te whare o Ihowa.
14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia rent her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
Heoi ka titiro ia, na, ko te kingi e tu ana i te taha o te pou, ko te tikanga hoki tera, me nga rangatira ratou ko nga kaiwhakatangi tetere i te taha o te kingi: a, ko te iwi katoa o te whenua e koa ana, e whakatangi ana i nga tetere. Katahi a A taria ka haehae i ona kakahu, ka karanga, He he! he he, te whakatakotoria nei!
15 And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.
Na ka whakahau a Iehoiara tohunga ki nga rangatira rau, ki nga kaitohutohu i te ope, ka mea ki a ratou, Kawea mai ia ki waenga i nga rarangi; ko te tangata hoki e haere ana i muri i a ia me patu ki te hoari: i ki hoki te tohunga, Kaua ia e whaka matea i roto i te whare o Ihowa.
16 And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.
Heoi whakawateatia ana e ratou he ara mona; a haere ana ia i te huarahi e haere ai nga hoiho ki te whare o te kingi: a whakamatea iho ki reira.
17 And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.
Na ka whakaritea e Iehoiara he kawenata, he mea na Ihowa, ki te kingi ratou ko te iwi, kia meinga ratou hei iwi ma Ihowa; he mea hoki na te kingi ki te iwi.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
Na haere ana te iwi katoa o taua whenua ki te whare o Paara, wahia iho e ratou; ko ana aata, ko ona ahua i wahia e ratou, mongamonga noa, patua iho hoki e ratou a Matana tohunga o Paara ki te ritenga atu o nga aata. I whakaritea hoki e te tohung a he kaitirotiro mo te whare o Ihowa.
19 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.
I mauria hoki e ia nga rangatira rau, ratou ko nga Kariti, ko nga kaitiaki kingi, me te iwi katoa o te whenua; na kawea iho ana e ratou te kingi ki raro i te whare o Ihowa, a haere ana na te huarahi ki te kuwaha o nga kaitiaki ki te whare o te k ingi. Na noho ana ia i runga i te torona o nga kingi.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they slew Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.
Heoi koa katoa ana te iwi o te whenua, a marie noa iho te pa: a whakamatea ana e ratou a Ataria ki te hoari i te whare o te kingi.
21 Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
E whitu nga tau o Iehoaha i a ia ka kingi nei.
