2 Kings 11
1 And Athalia the mother of Ochozias seeing that her son was dead, arose, and slew all the royal seed.
Na, i te kitenga o Ataria, whaea o Ahatia kua mate tana tama, whakatika ana ia, whakamotitia iho nga uri kingi katoa.
2 But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia, so that 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 was with her six years hid in the house of the Lord. And Athalia 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 Joiada seat, and taking the centurions and the soldiers, brought them in to him into the temple of the Lord, and made a covenant with them: and taking an oath of them in the house of the Lord, 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 he commanded them, saying: This is the thing that you must 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, and keep the watch of the king’s house. And let a third part be at the gate of Sur: and let a third part be at the gate behind the dwelling of the shieldbearers: and you shall keep the watch of the house of Messa.
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 But let two parts of you, all that go forth on the sabbath, keep the watch of the house of the Lord about 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 you shall compass him round about, having weapons in your hands: and if any man shall enter the precinct of the temple, let him be slain: and you shall be with the king coming in and going out.
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 centurions did according to all things that Joiada the priest had commanded them: and taking every one their men, that went in on the sabbath, with them that went out on the sabbath, came to Joiada 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 he gave them the spears, and the arms of king David, which 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 they stood having every one their weapons in their hands, from the right side of the temple, unto the left side of the altar, and of the temple, 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 the diadem upon him, and the testimony: and they made him king, and anointed him: and clapping their hands. they said, God save 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 Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple 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 She saw the king standing upon a tribunal, as the manner was, and the singers, and the trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets: and she 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 But Joiada commended the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple 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 on her: and thrust her out by the way by which the horses go in, by the palace, 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 Joiada made a covenant between the Lord, and the king, and the people, that they should be the people of the Lord, and 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 temple of Baal, and broke down his altars, and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly: they slew also Mathan the priest of Baal before the altar. And the priest set guards in 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 centurions, and the bands of the Cerethi and the Phelethi, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the house of the Lord: and they came by the way of the gate of the shieldbearers into the palace. and he sat 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 quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword in the king’s house.
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 Now Joas was seven years old, when he began to reign.
E whitu nga tau o Iehoaha i a ia ka kingi nei.
