2 Kings 11
1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
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, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
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 he was with her hid in the house of YHWH six years. And Athaliah did reign 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 And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of YHWH, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of YHWH, and shewed them 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 commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the Sabbath shall even be keepers of 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.
6 And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
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 two parts of all you that go forth on the Sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of YHWH about the king.
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 And ye shall compass the king around about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh 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 over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the Sabbath, with them that should go out on the Sabbath, and came 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 to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of YHWH.
Etsɔ Fia David ƒe akplɔ kple akpoxɔnu siwo nɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me de asi na aʋafiawo.
11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
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 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Elohim save 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 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of YHWH.
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 when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
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 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of YHWH.
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 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
Ale wolée le Sɔgbo la nu le fiasã la me eye wowui le afi ma.
17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between YHWH and the king and the people that they should be YHWH 's people; between the king also 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 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of YHWH.
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 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of YHWH, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne 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 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside 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 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
