2 Chronicles 23
1 After Joash had been hidden in the temple for six years, Jehoiada the priest decided that it was necessary to do something. So he made an agreement with the army commanders of groups of 100 soldiers: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zicri.
Yehooyaadaan waggaa torbaffaatti jabina ofii isaa ni argisiise. Innis ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa jechuunis Azaariyaa ilma Yirooham, Ishmaaʼeel ilma Yehohaanaan, Azaariyaa ilma Oobeed, Maʼaseyaa ilma Adaayaa fi Eliishaafaax ilma Zikrii wajjin kakuu seene.
2 They went throughout Judah and gathered the descendants of Levi and the leaders of Israeli families from all the towns. When they came to Jerusalem,
Isaanis guutummaa Yihuudaa keessa deemanii magaalaawwan hunda keessaa Lewwotaa fi hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼel walitti ni qaban. Yommuu isaan Yerusaalem gaʼanittis,
3 the whole group went to the temple and made an agreement with the young king there. Jehoiada said to them, “This is the son of the previous king of Judah. So he is the one who must rule, like Yahweh promised that the descendants of King David must do.
waldaan guutuun mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessatti mooticha wajjin kakuu seene. Yehooyaadaanis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Akkuma Waaqayyo waaʼee sanyii Daawit waadaa gale sanatti, ilmi mootichaa mootii ni taʼa.
4 “So this is what you must do: One-third of you priests and other descendants of Levi who are starting their work on the Sabbath day must guard the doors [of the temple].
Wanni isin gochuu qabdan isa kana: Isin lubootaa fi Lewwota guyyaa Sanbataa hojiitti ramadamtan keessaa harka sadii keessaa harki tokko karra,
5 One-third of you must guard the king’s palace, and one-third of you must guard the Foundation Gate. All the other people will be in the courtyards outside the temple.
harka sadii keessaa harki tokko masaraa mootummaa, harka sadii keessaa harki tokko immoo karra ‘Karra Hundee’ jedhamu sana eegaa; namoonni kaan hundi immoo oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argamuu qabu.
6 Only the priests and the descendants of Levi who work there will enter the temple. They will be allowed to enter the temple because they are set apart [for that work]. All the others must remain in the courtyards, obeying what Yahweh has commanded.
Lubootaa fi Lewwota hojii irra jiran malee namni tokko iyyuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo hin seenin; isaan sababii qulqullaaʼaniif seenuu ni dandaʼu; warri kaan hundi garuu waan Waaqayyo isaan ajaje eeguu qabu.
7 You descendants of Levi must stand around the young king, each of you with your weapon in your hand. Anyone else who tries to enter the temple you must kill. And stay close to the young king, wherever he goes.”
Lewwonni tokkoon tokkoon isaanii miʼa lolaa harkatti qabatanii mootichatti naannaʼanii dhadhaabachuu qabu. Namni mana qulqullummaa seenu kan biraa kam iyyuu haa ajjeefamu. Lafa inni dhaqu hundatti mootichatti dhiʼoo jiraadhaa.”
8 So the descendants of Levi and all [the men of] Judah did what Jehoiada had told them. He did not allow anyone to go home after having finished his work on that Sabbath day. Each commander took charge of his men, the ones who were finishing their work on that day and those who were starting their work on that day.
Lewwonnii fi namoonni Yihuudaa hundinuu akkuma Yehooyaadaan lubichi ajaje sana ni godhan. Sababii Yehooyaadaan lubichi gareewwan eegumsaa keessaa tokko illee gad hin dhiisiniif tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis namoota isaanii warra guyyaa Sanbataatiin hojiitti bobbaʼanii fi warra hojii irraa boqotan ni fudhatan.
9 Then Jehoiada gave each of the commanders the spears and the large and small shields that had been put there in the temple by King David.
Innis eeboowwan, gaachanawwan gurguddaa fi xixinnaa Daawit Mootichaa kanneen mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessa turan ajajjuuwwan dhibbaatiif ni kenne.
10 He commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each with his sword in his hand, all around the king—around the altar and the temple, from the north side to the south side.
Akka namoonni hundi miʼa lolaa harkatti qabatanii karaa kibba mana qulqullummaatii hamma karaa kaaba mana qulqullummaatti iddoo aarsaatii fi mana qulqullummaa biratti mootichatti naannaʼanii dhaabatan ni godhe.
11 Then Jehoiada and his sons brought Joash out. They put a crown on his head and gave him [a scroll] on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey], and proclaimed that he was now the king. They anointed him with olive oil and shouted, “We hope that the king will live for many years!”
Yehooyaadaa fi ilmaan isaa ilma mootichaa fidanii mataa isaa irra gonfoo kaaʼan; isaanis garagalcha kakuu itti kennanii akka inni mootii taʼe ni labsan. Isa dibaniis, “Mootichi bara baraan haa jiraatu!” jedhanii ni iyyan.
12 When Athaliah heard the noise being made by the people running [toward the king] and cheering, she ran to the temple.
Ataaliyaan yommuu waca namoota fiiganii mooticha leellisanii dhageessetti, isaan bira gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhaqxe.
13 She saw the young king there, standing alongside the pillar at the entrance of the temple, [which is the place at the temple] where the kings usually stood. The army commanders and trumpet players were standing beside the king, and all the people of Judah were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and singers with their musical instruments were leading the people while they praised God. Then Athaliah tore her robes and started screaming, “You are committing treason!”
Yeroo isheen ilaaltetti mootichi balbala irra utubaa isaa bira dhaabatuu ni argite. Qondaaltonnii fi warri malakata afuufan mooticha bira turan; namoonni biyya sanaa hundinuus gammadanii malakata afuufaa turan; faarfattoonni immoo meeshaa muuziiqaatiin faarfannaa qajeelchaa turan. Kana irratti Ataaliyaan uffata ishee tarsaaftee, “Kun maltummaa dha! Kun maltummaa dha!” jettee iyyite.
14 Jehoiada the Supreme Priest said to the army commanders, “Kill her, but do not kill her at the temple of Yahweh!” Then he said to them, “Bring Athaliah out in front of the troops and kill anyone who tries to follow her!”
Yehooyaadaan lubichis, “Hiriira gidduudhaa baasaatii ishee fidaa; nama ishee irra dhufu kam iyyuu goraadeedhaan ajjeesaa” jedhee ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa kanneen kutaawwan loltootaa sana irratti ramadaman erge. Lubichi, “Mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti ishee hin ajjeesinaa” jedhee tureetii.
15 [She tried to flee, but] they seized her as she reached the gate where horses enter the palace area, and they killed her there.
Kanaafuu isaan akkuma isheen karra “Karra Fardaa” jedhamu kan masaraa mootii duraa geesseen qabanii achumatti ishee ni ajjeesan.
16 Then Jehoiada made an agreement that he and the king and all the other people would be Yahweh’s people.
Yehooyaadaan akka inni, sabnii fi mootichis saba Waaqayyoo taʼaniif kakuu ni dhaabe.
17 Then all the people who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars [of Baal]. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars.
Sabni hundinuu gara galma Baʼaal dhaqee diige. Isaanis iddoowwan aarsaatii fi waaqota tolfamoo caccabsanii Mataan lubicha Baʼaal sana illee iddoowwan aarsaa duratti ni ajjeesan.
18 Then Jehoiada appointed the priests, who were also descended from Levi, to work at the temple. They were part of the group to whom King David had given various jobs at the temple, to sacrifice the animals that were to be completely burned on the altar, doing what was written in the laws that Moses had given to them. He also told them to rejoice and sing, which was also what David had commanded.
Ergasii Yehooyaadaan luboota Lewwota turan kanneen Daawit mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti ramadee ture sanatti itti gaafatamummaa mana qulqullummaa ni kenne; isaan akkuma Seera Musee keessatti barreeffame sanatti aarsaa gubamu Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessuu qabu; Daawit akka isaan gammachuu fi faarfannaadhaan aarsaa kana dhiʼeessan ajajee tureetii.
19 He also put guards at the gates of the temple in order that anyone who was unacceptable to God would not be allowed to enter.
Akkasumas inni akka namni karaa kamiin iyyuu xuraaʼe tokko iyyuu ol hin seenneef balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dura eegdota ni dhaabe.
20 Jehoiada took with him the army commanders, the important men, the leaders and many others, and brought the king down from the temple. They went into the palace through the Upper Gate, and put the king on his throne.
Innis ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa, namoota bebeekamoo, bulchitoota sabaa fi namoota biyyattii hunda fudhatee dhaqee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii mooticha gad baasee fide. Isaanis karaa, “Karra Ol aanu” jedhamuutiin masaraa mootummaa seenanii mooticha teessoo mootummaa irra teessisan.
21 Then all the people of Judah rejoiced. And there was calm throughout the city, because Athaliah had been killed.
Saboonni biyyattii hundi ni ililchan; sababii Ataaliyaan goraadeedhaan ajjeefamteef magaalaan sun nagaa argatte.
