Kings IV 11
1 And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
Mgbe Atalaya nne Ahazaya hụrụ na nwa ya nwoke anwụọla, ọ gara nʼihu bido igbu ndị niile a mụrụ nʼụlọ eze.
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.
Ma Jehosheba, bụ nwa nwanyị eze Jehoram, ma bụrụkwa nwanne nwanyị Ahazaya, kuuru Joash nwa Ahazaya, zopu ya site nʼetiti ụmụ ndị ikom eze, bụ ndị a chọrọ igbu egbu. O zoro ya na nwanyị na-elekọta ya anya nʼime ụlọ ndina, ka Atalaya hapụ ịhụ ya, nke a mere na-egbughị ya.
3 And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.
Ya na nwanyị na-elekọta ya anya nọgidere na nzuzo nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, afọ isii, oge ahụ niile Atalaya na-achị nʼala ahụ.
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 showed them the king's son.
Nʼafọ nke asaa, Jehoiada, ziri ozi kpọọ ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, ndị Karị na ndị nche oku, mee ka ha bịakwute ya nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Ya na ha gbara ndụ, o mekwara ka ha ṅụọ iyi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Mgbe ahụ, o gosiri ha nwa eze.
5 And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you shall do.
O nyere ha iwu, sị, “Nke a bụ ihe unu ga-eme, unu bụ ndị nọ nʼotu atọ ga-abịa ọrụ nʼụbọchị izuike, nke otu ụzọ nʼime unu na-eche ụlọeze nche,
6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep you 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 you the guard of the house.
otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ ga-anọ nʼọnụ ụzọ Sua, ebe otu ụzọ ga-anọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, nʼazụ ndị na-eche nche nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke.
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.
Ma unu bụ otu abụọ ndị kwesiri ịga ezumike site nʼọrụ unu nʼụbọchị izuike, ga-eguzo na nche nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nʼihi eze.
8 And do you 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.
Doonụ onwe unu gburugburu eze, onye ọbụla nʼime unu jide ihe agha nʼaka ya. Onye ọbụla nke na-abịa nso ahịrị unu, ka e gbuo ya. Nọrọnụ eze nso ebe ọbụla ọ gara, mgbe ọ na-apụ nʼezi na mgbe ọ na-aba nʼime.”
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.
Ndị ọchịagha ndị a na-achị narị ndị agha mere dịka Jehoiada, onye nchụaja nyere nʼiwu. Onye ọbụla kpọrọ ndị ikom ya, ma ndị na-emechi ọrụ, ma ndị na-abata ịrụ ọrụ nʼụbọchị izuike, bịakwute Jehoiada, bụ onye nchụaja.
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.
O nyere ndị ọchịagha ahụ ùbe na ọta niile, ndị bụrịị nke eze Devid, ndị dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Onye ọbụla na ndị nche ahụ ji ngwa agha nʼaka ya, ha guzoro onwe ha, nọdụ eze gburugburu, na nso ebe ịchụ aja na ụlọnsọ ukwu, site nʼakụkụ ndịda ruo nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
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.
Jehoiada kpọpụtara nwa eze, kpube ya okpueze nʼisi, o nyere ya otu akwụkwọ nke ihe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, chie ya eze. Ha tekwara ya mmanụ ịbụ eze. Ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ kụrụ aka, tie mkpu, sị, “Ka eze dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi!”
13 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
Mgbe Atalaya nụrụ mkpọtụ nke ndị nche na ndị mmadụ na-eme, ọ gakwuru ndị ahụ nọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
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 tore her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
O lepụrụ anya, ma lee eze, ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ogidi, dịka omenaala mmemme ịchị eze si dị. Ndịisi na ndị na-afụ opi nọ nʼakụkụ eze. Ndị niile nke ala ahụ nọkwa na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na-afụ opi. Atalaya dọwara uwe ya, sị, “Nnupu isi megide eze! Nke a bụ nnupu isi megide ọchịchị!”
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.
Jehoiada, bụ onye nchụaja nyere ndịisi ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, bụ ndị na-elekọta usuu ndị agha, iwu sị ha, “Sitenụ nʼebe ahụ kpọpụta ya nʼetiti ahịrị unu, onye ọbụla nke gbasoro ya, werenụ mma agha gbuo onye ahụ.” Nʼihi na onye nchụaja sịrị, “Agaghị egbu ya nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.”
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.
Ya mere, ha jidere ya, mgbe o rutere nʼụzọ ebe ịnyịnya si abata nʼogige ụlọeze, ebe ahụ ka ha nọ gbuo ya.
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.
Jehoiada mere ka ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti Onyenwe anyị na eze, na ndị mmadụ, na ha ga-abụ ndị nke Onyenwe anyị. O mekwara ka ọgbụgba ndụ dịrị nʼetiti eze na ndị ahụ.
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 killed Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
Ndị niile nke ala ahụ gara nʼụlọ nchụaja Baal kwatuo ya. Ha tidasịrị ebe nchụaja na arụsị niile dị nʼebe ahụ mee ka ọ darisịa, gbukwaa Matan onye nchụaja Baal nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, Jehoiada onye nchụaja, debekwara ndị nche ka ha lekọta ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Ọ kpọọrọ ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, ha na ndị Karị, na ndị nche, ha na ndị ala ahụ niile, ha niile dupụtara eze site nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị site nʼọnụ ụzọ ndị nche banye nʼụlọeze. Eze were ọnọdụ ya nʼelu ocheeze.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they killed Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.
Ndị ala ahụ niile ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu, obodo ahụ dakwara jụụ, nʼihi na e ji mma agha gbuo Atalaya nʼụlọeze.
21 Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
Joash gbara afọ asaa mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze.
