2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the seuenth yeere Iehoiada waxed bolde, and tooke the captaines of hundreths, to wit, Azariah the sonne of Ieroham, and Ishmael the sonne of Iehohanan, and Azariah the sonne of Obed, and Maasiah the sonne of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the sonne of Zichri in couenant with him.
Le ƒe adrelia me la, Yehoiada ɖe eƒe ŋusẽ fia. Ebla nu kple ame alafawo ƒe aʋafia siawo: Azaria, Yeroham ƒe vi, Ismael, Yehohanan ƒe vi, Azaria, Obed ƒe vi kple Maaseya, Adaya ƒe vi kple Elisafat, Zikri ƒe vi.
2 And they went about in Iudah, and gathered the Leuites out of all the cities of Iudah, and the chiefe fathers of Israel: and they came to Ierusale.
Wotsa le Yudanyigba blibo la dzi eye woƒo Levitɔwo kple Israelviwo ƒe ƒometatɔwo nu ƒu tso duawo katã me. Esi wova ɖo Yerusalem la,
3 And al the Congregation made a couenant with the King in the house of God: and he sayde vnto them, Behold, the Kings sonne must reigne, as the Lord hath sayd of the sonnes of Dauid.
ameha blibo la bla nu kple fia la le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la me. Yehoiada gblɔ na wo be, “Fiaviŋutsu la aɖu fia abe ale si Yehowa do ŋugbe tso David ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋu ene.
4 This is it that ye shall do, The third part of you that come on the Sabbath of the Priests, and the Leuites, shalbe porters of the doores.
Azɔ la, nu si míawɔ enye si. Mi nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ƒe mama etɔ̃lia ƒe gbãtɔ me tɔwo, ame siwo awɔ dɔ le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi la, miaƒe ŋkuwo anɔ ʋɔtruawo ŋu,
5 And another third part towarde the Kings house, and another thirde part at the gate of the foundation, and al the people shalbe in the courts of the house of the Lord.
mama evelia me tɔwo adzɔ fiasã la ŋu eye mama etɔ̃lia me tɔwo adzɔ Gɔmeɖokpegbo la ŋu. Ame bubuawo katã anɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnuwo.
6 But let none come into the house of the Lord, saue the Priests, and the Leuites that minister: they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keepe the watch of the Lord.
Ame aɖeke mage ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me o negbe nunɔlawo kple Levitɔ siwo anɔ dɔ wɔm ko. Woawo ya ate ŋu age ɖe eme elabena wokɔ wo ŋu ke ele na ame bubuawo be woadzɔ teƒe siwo Yehowa de asi na wo la ŋu.
7 And the Leuites shall compasse the King rounde about, and euery man with his weapon in his hand, and he that entreth into the house, shall be slaine, and be you with the King, when he commeth in, and when he goeth out.
Mi Levitɔwo ƒe viwo, mitsɔ aʋawɔnuwo ɖe asi, midzɔ fia la ŋu eye miawu ame sia ame si adze mi age ɖe gbedoxɔ la me. Minɔ fia la ŋu kplikplikpli!”
8 So the Leuites and all Iudah did according to all things that Iehoiada the Priest had commanded, and tooke euery man his men that came on the Sabbath, with them that went out on the Sabbath: for Iehoiada the Priest did not discharge the courses.
Levitɔwo ƒe viwo kple Yuda blibo 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 elabena nunɔlagã Yehoiada, meɖe mɔ na wo wodzo yi aƒe me o.
9 And Iehoiada the Priest deliuered to the captaines of hundreths speares, and shieldes, and bucklers which had bene King Dauids, and were in the house of God.
Yehoiada na akplɔwo kple akpoxɔnuwo asrafomegãwo siwo le ame alafawo nu. Aʋawɔnu siawo nye Fia David tɔwo tsã eye wodzra wo ɖo ɖe gbedoxɔ la me.
10 And he caused all the people to stand (euery man with his weapon in his hande) from the right side of the house, to ye left side of the house by the altar and by the house round about ye king.
Asrafomegã siawo tsɔ woƒe aʋawɔnuwo ɖe asi eye wonɔ tsitre ƒo xlã fia la, le vɔsamlekpui la ŋu le gbedoxɔ la me. Woɖe to ɖee tso gbedoxɔ la ƒe dziehe yi anyiehe.
11 Then they brought out the Kings sonne, and put vpon him the crowne and gaue him the testimonie, and made him King. And Iehoiada and his sonnes anoynted him, and sayd, God saue the King.
Yehoiada kple via ŋutsuviwo 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!”
12 But when Athaliah heard the noyse of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord.
Esi Atalia se se howɔwɔ kple ɣli si amewo tsɔ nɔ fia la kafum la, eyi ɖe ame siwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me la gbɔ.
13 And when she looked, beholde, the King stoode by his pillar at the entring in, and the princes and the trumpets by the King, and all the people of the land reioyced, and blew the trumpets, and the singers were with instruments of musike, and they that could sing prayse: then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason.
Etsa ŋku eye wòkpɔ fia la wòtsi tsitre ɖe eƒe sɔti gbɔ le xɔa ƒe mɔnu. Dɔdzikpɔlawo kple kpẽkulawo nɔ fia la gbɔ eye anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã nɔ aseye tsom, henɔ woƒe kpẽawo kum eye hadzilawo kple woƒe haƒonuwo nɔ hawo dom ɖa. Tete Atalia dze eƒe awuwo eye wòdo ɣli be, “Nugbeɖoɖoe! Nugbeɖoɖoe!”
14 Then Iehoiada the Priest brought out the captaines of hundreths that were gouernours of the hoste, and said vnto them, Haue her foorth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him dye by the sword: for the Priest had said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.
Nunɔla Yehoiada dɔ ame siwo nɔ asrafo alafa ɖekawo nu, ame siwo nɔ aʋawɔlawo dzi kpɔm la ɖa eye wògblɔ na wo 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.”
15 So they layde hands on her: and when she was come to the entring of the horsegate by the Kings house, they slew her there.
Ale wolée le Sɔgbo la nu le fiasã la me eye wowui le afi ma.
16 And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene him, and all the people, and the King, that they would be the Lords people.
Ke Yehoiada na Fia Yoas kple ameawo kpe ɖe eŋu eye wobla nu be yewoanye Yehowa ƒe amewo.
17 And all the people went to the house of Baal, and destroyed, and brake his altars and his images, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
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.
18 And Iehoiada appointed officers for the house of the Lord, vnder the handes of the Priestes and Leuites, whome Dauid had distributed for the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with reioycing and singing by the appoyntment of Dauid.
Azɔ la, Yehoiada na Levitɔwo zu dzɔlawo eye wosa numevɔ na Yehowa le Mose ƒe se la nu. Ede dɔwo asi na Levitɔwo abe ale si Fia David wɔ ene tututu. Wodzia ha kple dzidzɔ ne wole woƒe dɔwo wɔm.
19 And he set porters by the gates of ye house of the Lord, that none that was vncleane in any thing, should enter in.
Gbedoxɔ la ƒe agbowo nu dzɔlawo meɖea mɔ be, nu siwo ŋu womekɔ o kple ame siwo se meɖe mɔ na o la, nage ɖe gbedoxɔ la me o.
20 And he tooke the captaines of hundreths, and the noble men, and the gouernours of the people, and all the people of the land, and he caused the King to come downe out of the house of the Lord, and they went thorowe the hie gate of the Kings house, and set the King vpon the throne of the kingdome.
Eye wòɖe ame alafawo ƒe amegãwo, blafowo kple fiaŋusrafowo kpakple dukɔ hahoo la katã, eye wokplɔ fia la tso Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, heto Dzigbegbo la me yi fiasã la me eye wotsɔ fia la ɖo fiazikpui la dzi.
21 Then all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was quiet, after that they had slaine Athaliah with the sword.
Amewo katã kpɔ dzidzɔ le dukɔ la me eye ŋutifafa va dua me azɔ elabena wowu Atalia kple yi.
