2 Kings 11
1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family.
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 secretly took him away from among the king's sons who were to be executed, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom. So he was hidden from Athaliah and was not put to death.
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 He was with her hidden in the house of the LORD six years. Athaliah reigned 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 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed 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 He commanded them, saying, "This is the thing that you shall do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall 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 A third part shall be at the Foundation Gate, and a third part at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
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 The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD around 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 You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes 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 The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to 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 The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of the LORD.
Etsɔ Fia David ƒe akplɔ kple akpoxɔnu siwo nɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me de asi na aʋafiawo.
11 The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
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 Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, "Long live 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 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
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 she looked, and look, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore 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 Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks. Kill him who follows her with the sword." For the priest said, "Do not let her be slain in the house of the LORD."
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 So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house. She was slain there.
Ale wolée le Sɔgbo la nu le fiasã la me eye wowui le afi ma.
17 Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD's 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 All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
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 He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the Gate of the Guard to the king's house. 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 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword at 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 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
Yoas xɔ ƒe adre esi wòzu fia.
