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.

Na i te whitu o nga tau ka whakanuia e Iehoiara he kaha mona; i riro hoki i a ia nga rangatira rau, a Ataria tama a Ierohama, a Ihimaera tama a Iehohanana, a Ataria tama a Opere, a Maaheia tama a Araia, a Erihapata tama a Tikiri, hei hoa mona, me a rawa ki te kawenata.

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.

Na haereerea ana e ratou a Hura a taka noa, huihuia ana e ratou nga Riwaiti i roto i nga pa katoa o Hura, ratou ko nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o Iharaira, a haere ana ratou ki Hiruharama.

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.

Na ka whakarite kawenata te whakaminenga katoa ki te kingi i roto i te whare o te Atua. I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Nana, hei kingi te tama a te kingi, hei pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai mo nga tama a Rawiri.

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.

Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai; ko te tuatoru o nga wehenga o koutou e haere mai ana i te hapati, ara o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, hei kaitiaki mo nga kuwaha;

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.

Ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te whare o te kingi; ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te kuwaha o te turanga; ko te iwi katoa hoki hei nga marae o te whare o Ihowa.

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.

Kaua ia tetahi e tomo ki te whare o Ihowa, ko nga tohunga anake, ratou ko te hunga o nga Riwaiti e minita ana; ko ratou e haere ki roto, no te mea he tapu ratou. Ko te iwi katoa ia hei tiaki i nga mea a Ihowa.

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.

Na me karapoti te kingi e nga Riwaiti a tawhio noa; hei tona ringa ano te patu a tenei, a tenei; a ki te tomo tetahi ki te whare, me whakamate. Hei te taha tonu koutou o te kingi i tona haerenga mai, i tona haerenga atu.

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.

Na ka meatia e nga Riwaiti, e Hura katoa 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 ano e haere atu ana ki waho i te hapati; kihai hoki a Ie hoiara tohunga i tuku i nga wehenga kia haere.

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.

A i homai e Iehoiara tohunga ki nga rangatira rau nga tao, nga pukupuku, me nga whakapuru tao a Kingi Rawiri; i roto hoki era i te whare o te Atua.

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.

I whakaturia ano e ia te iwi katoa, 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, ki nga taha o te aata, o te whare, hei karapoti mo te kingi.

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.

Katahi ka whakaputaina e ratou te tama a te kingi, potaea iho ki a ia te karauna; a homai ana te whakaaturanga ki a ia, na whakakingitia ana ia e ratou; a na Iehoiara ratou ko ana tama ia i whakawahi, me ta ratou karanga, Kia ora te kingi.

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.

A, no te rongonga o Ataria i te nge o te iwi e rere ana, e whakamoemiti ana ki te kingi, ka haere ia ki te iwi, ki te whare o Ihowa.

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.

A ka titiro ia, na ko te kingi e tu ana i te taha o tona pou i te tomokanga, ko nga rangatira ano me nga tetere i te taha o te kingi; a ko te iwi katoa o te whenua e koa ana, e whakatangi ana i nga tetere; ko nga kaiwaiata hoki e whakatangi ana i nga mea rangi waiata, e arahi ana i te waiata whakamoemiti. Katahi ka haehae a Ataria i ona kakahu, ka karanga, He he, he he, te whakatakotoria nei!

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.

Na ka whakaputaina e Iehoiara tohunga nga rangatira rau, nga kaitohutohu ope ki waho, a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Mauria mai ia ki waenganui i nga rarangi; a ko te tangata e whai i muri i a ia, whakamatea ki te hoari; i mea hoki te tohunga, Kaua ia e whakamatea i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

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.

Heoi whakawateatia ana he haerenga mona; na ka tae ia ki te tomokanga o te kuwaha hoiho i te taha o te whare o te kingi, whakamatea iho ki reira.

16 And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene him, and all the people, and the King, that they would be the Lords people.

Na ka whakaritea e Iehoiara he kawenata, he mea nana, na te iwi katoa, ratou ko te kingi, kia meinga ratou hei iwi ma Ihowa.

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.

Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki te whare o Paara, wahia iho e ratou; mongamonga noa i a ratou ana aata, ona ahua; patua iho hoki e ratou a Matana tohunga o Paara ki mua i nga aata.

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.

I whakarite kaitirotiro ano a Iehoiara mo te whare o Ihowa, he mea wehea nei e Rawiri ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa hei whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana a Ihowa, ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia i roto i te ture a Mohi; me te koa ano ratou, me te waiata; ko ta Rawiri hoki ia i whakarite ai.

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.

I whakaturia ano e ia he kaitiaki kuwaha mo nga kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa, kei haere ki roto te tangata e poke ana i tetahi mea.

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.

Na tikina ana e ia nga rangatira rau, nga tangata nunui, ratou ko nga kawana o te iwi, ko te iwi katoa ano hoki o te whenua, a mauria iho ana e ratou te kingi i te whare o Ihowa ki raro; na haere ana ratou na to runga kuwaha ki te whare o te kin gi, a whakanohoia ana te kingi ki te torona o te kingitanga.

21 Then all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was quiet, after that they had slaine Athaliah with the sword.

Heoi koa tonu te iwi katoa o te whenua, a marire noa iho te pa: a patua ana e ratou a Ataria ki te hoari.
