< 2 Kings 11 >

1 Now, when, Athaliah, mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
Pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻe ʻAtalia ko e faʻē ʻa ʻAhasia kuo mate ʻa ʻene tama, naʻa ne tuʻu hake mo ne fakaʻauha ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻoe hau.
2 But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were being slain—him and his nurse, into the bedchamber, —so she hid him from the face of Athaliah, that he was not slain.
Ka ko Sihosipa ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ko Solami, ko e tuofefine ʻo ʻAhasia, naʻe ʻave ʻa Soasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia, mo ne ʻave fufū ia mei he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi; pea naʻa nau fufū ia meia ʻAtalia, ʻio, ʻaia mo ʻene fefine tauhi, ʻi he fale mohe, pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ai ia.
3 And he was with her, in the house of Yahweh, hiding himself, six years, —while, Athaliah, was reigning over the land.
Pea naʻe fufū ʻakinaua ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono. Pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAtalia ki he fonua.
4 But, in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent and took the captains over hundreds, of the Carian body-guard, and of the runners, and brought them unto him, in the house of Yahweh, —and, when he had solemnised a Covenant with them, and put them on oath, in the house of Yahweh, then shewed he them the king’s son;
Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata mo ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he taki toko teau, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau mo e kau leʻo, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu kiate ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne fai fuakava mo kinautolu, pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻenau lea fuakava ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae foha ʻoe tuʻi.
5 and commanded them, saying—This, is the thing which ye must do, —A third part of you, will be coming in on the sabbath, and keeping the watch of the house of the king;
Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻae meʻa te mou fai; [ʻe vahe tolu ]ʻakimoutolu ʻoku hū ange ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea ko homou vahe ʻe taha ʻe tauhi mo leʻohi ʻae fale ʻoe tuʻi;
6 and, a third, in the side-gate; and, a third, in the gate behind the runners, —so shall ye keep the watch of the house, by turns.
Pea ko homou vahe ʻe taha ʻe ʻi he matapā ʻo Suli; pea ko e vahe ʻe taha ʻi he matapā ki mui ʻi he kau leʻo: ʻe pehē pe ʻa hoʻomou leʻohi ʻae fale ke ʻoua naʻa maumauʻi ia.
7 And, two parts of you, are all that are going out on the sabbath, —so shall ye keep the watch of the house of Yahweh, as touching the king.
Pea ko hono vahe ua ʻokimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ʻe ʻanautolu ʻae tauhi mo e leʻohi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi.
8 Thus shall ye encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand, and, he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain, —so be ye with the king, when he cometh out and when he goeth in.
Pea te mou nofo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi, pea toʻo ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa hono mahafu ʻi hono nima: pea ʻilonga ha taha ʻe Lakaatu ki loto, tuku ke tāmateʻi ia: pea te mou ʻi he tuʻi ʻi heʻene ʻalu kituʻa mo ʻene hū mai.”
9 And the captains of hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and they took every man his men who were coming in on the sabbath, with them who were going out on the sabbath, —and came unto Jehoiada the priest.
Paʻa naʻe fai ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻa nau ʻave taki taha ʻa ʻene kau tangata ʻaia naʻe vahe ke hū mai ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea mo kinautolu naʻe vahe ke ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ʻonau omi kia Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki.
10 And the priest gave unto the captains of hundreds the spears and the shields which belonged to King David, —which were in the house of Yahweh.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻae ngaahi tao mo e ngaahi pā ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
11 And the runners stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right corner of the house, as far as the left corner of the house, by the altar and the house, —near the king, round about.
Pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kau leʻo, ko e tangata taki taha mo ʻene mahafu ʻi hono nima, ʻo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi, mei he tuliki fakatoʻomataʻu ʻoe faletapu ʻo fai hake ki he tuliki fakatoʻohema ʻoe faletapu, ʻo vāofi mo e feilaulauʻanga pea mo e faletapu.
12 Then brought he forth the king’s son, and set upon him the crown, and the testimony, and they made him king, and anointed him, —and clapped their hands, and said—May the king live!
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻae foha ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae tatā fakatuʻi kiate ia, mo ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae tohi ʻoe fono; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi, mo nau pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo; pea naʻa nau pasi nima, ʻonau pehē, “Ke moʻui pe ʻae tuʻi.”
13 And, when Athaliah heard the noise of the runners, the people, then came she in unto the people, in the house of Yahweh,
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻAtalia ki he longoaʻa ʻoe kau leʻo pea mo e kakai, naʻa ne haʻu ki he kakai ʻi he loto faletapu ʻo Sihova.
14 and looked, and lo! the king, standing by the pillar, as the custom was, and the captains and the trumpeters, by the king, and, all the people of the land, rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, —so Athaliah rent her garments, and cried out—Conspiracy! conspiracy!
Pea ʻi heʻene sio, vakai, naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻi he veʻepou, ʻo hangē ko hono anga, pea tutuʻu fakataha mo e tuʻi ʻae houʻeiki pea mo e kau tangata ifi meʻalea, pea naʻe fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pea naʻa nau ifi ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: pea naʻe haehae ʻe ʻAtalia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, pea ne kalanga, “Ko e lapa, ko e lapa.”
15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds—officers of the force, and said unto them—Take her forth into the inside of the ranks, and, he that cometh in after her, [ye are] to slay with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain, in the house of Yahweh.
Ka naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ko e houʻeiki ki he kautau, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻave ia kituaʻā: pea ko ia ʻoku muimui ʻiate ia tuku ke tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā.” He kuo pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ke ʻoua naʻa tāmateʻi ia ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.”
16 So they made way for her, and she entered the road by which the horses approached the house of the king, and was slain there.
Pea naʻa nau puke nima ia; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ko ia naʻe faʻa hū ai ʻae fanga hoosi ki he nofoʻanga ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻi ai.
17 And Jehoiada solemnised a covenant between Yahweh, and the king, and the people, that they should become a people unto Yahweh, —also between the king and the people.
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sihoiata ha fuakava ʻia Sihova pea mo e tuʻi pea mo e kakai, ke nau hoko ko e kakai ʻa Sihova ʻakinautolu; pea ʻi he tuʻi foki mo e kakai.
18 And all the people of the land entered the house of Baal, and brake it down, his altars and his images, brake they in pieces, utterly, and, Mattan the priest of Baal, they slew before the altars, —and the priest appointed officers over the house of Yahweh.
Pea naʻe hū atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ki he fale ʻo Peali, pea [naʻa nau ]maumau hifo ia; ʻa hono ngaahi feilaulauʻanga pea mo hono ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻa nau laiki ke ʻosi, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Matani ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa Peali ʻi he muʻa feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae kau matāpule ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
19 And he took the captains of hundreds and the Carian bodyguard, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king out of the house of Yahweh, and they came, by way of the gate of the runners, into the house of the king, —and he took his seat on the throne of the kings;
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e kau leʻo, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; pea naʻa nau ʻohifo ʻae tuʻi mei he fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he hala mo e matapā ʻoe kau leʻo. Pea naʻa ne nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
20 and all the people of the land rejoiced, and, the city, had rest, —when they had put, Athaliah, to death with the sword, in the house of the king.
Pea naʻe fakafiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pea naʻe nofo lelei pe ʻae kolo: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa ʻAtalia ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻo ofi ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi.
21 Seven years old, was Jehoash, when he began to reign.
Pea naʻe fitu taʻu ʻe motuʻa ʻo Soasa ʻi heʻene kamata pule ʻaʻana.
