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.
At sa ikapitong taon ay lumakas si Joiada, at nakipagtipan siya sa mga pinunong kawal ng dadaanin, kay Azarias na anak ni Joram, at kay Ismael na anak ni Johanan, at kay Azarias na anak ni Obed, at kay Maasias na anak ni Adaias, at kay Elisaphat na anak ni Zichri.
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,
At kanilang nilibot ang Juda, at pinisan ang mga Levita mula sa lahat na bayan ng Juda, at ang mga pangulo ng mga sangbahayan ng mga magulang ng Israel, at sila'y nagsiparoon sa Jerusalem.
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.
At ang buong kapisanan ay nakipagtipan sa hari sa bahay ng Dios. At sinabi niya sa kanila, Narito, ang anak ng hari ay maghahari, gaya ng sinalita ng Panginoon tungkol sa mga anak ni David.
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].
Ito ang bagay na inyong gagawin: isang ikatlong bahagi ninyo, na pumapasok sa sabbath, sa mga saserdote at sa mga Levita, magiging mga tagatanod-pinto;
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.
At ang ikatlong bahagi ay magiging sa bahay ng hari; at ang ikatlong bahagi sa pintuang-bayan ng patibayan; at ang buong bayan ay malalagay sa mga looban ng bahay ng Panginoon.
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.
Nguni't walang papasok sa bahay ng Panginoon, liban sa mga saserdote, at nagsisipangasiwang mga Levita; sila'y magsisipasok, sapagka't sila'y mga banal: nguni't ang buong bayan ay magiingat ng pagbabantay sa Panginoon.
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.”
At kukulungin ng mga Levita ang hari sa palibot, bawa't isa'y may dalang kaniyang mga sandata sa kaniyang kamay; at sinomang pumasok sa bahay, patayin: at kayo'y magsiabay sa hari pagka siya'y pumapasok at pagka siya'y lumalabas.
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.
Gayon ginawa ng mga Levita at ng buong Juda ang ayon sa lahat na iniutos ni Joiada na saserdote: at sila'y kumuha bawa't lalake ng kaniyang mga lalake, yaong nagsisipasok sa sabbath, na kasama niyaong nagsisilabas sa sabbath; sapagka't hindi pinayaon ni Joiada na saserdote ang mga pangkat.
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.
At si Joiada na saserdote ay nagbigay sa mga pinunong kawal ng mga dadaanin ng mga sibat, at mga maliit na kalasag at mga kalasag na naging sa haring David, na nangasa bahay ng Dios.
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.
At kaniyang inilagay ang buong bayan, na bawa't isa'y may kaniyang sandata sa kaniyang kamay, mula sa dakong kanan ng bahay hanggang sa dakong kaliwa ng bahay, sa siping ng dambana at ng bahay, sa siping ng hari sa palibot.
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!”
Nang magkagayo'y kanilang inilabas ang anak ng hari, at ipinutong nila ang putong sa kaniya, at binigyan siya ng patotoo, at ginawa siyang hari: at pinahiran siya ng langis ni Joiada at ng kaniyang mga anak; at kanilang sinabi, Mabuhay ang hari.
12 When Athaliah heard the noise being made by the people running [toward the king] and cheering, she ran to the temple.
At nang marinig ni Athalia ang kaingay ng bayan, na tumatakbo at pinupuri ang hari, siya'y naparoon sa bayan sa loob ng bahay ng Panginoon:
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!”
At siya'y tumingin, at, narito, ang hari ay nakatayo sa siping ng kaniyang haligi sa pasukan, at ang mga punong kawal at ang mga may pakakak ay sa siping ng hari: at ang buong bayan ng lupain ay nagalak, at humihip ng mga pakakak; ang mga mangaawit naman ay nagsitugtog ng mga panugtog ng tugtugin, at tinugmaan ang awit ng papuri. Nang magkagayo'y hinapak ni Athalia ang kaniyang suot, at sinabi: Paglililo, paglililo.
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!”
At inilabas ni Joiada na saserdote ang mga pinunong kawal ng dadaanin na nangalalagay sa hukbo, at sinabi sa kanila, Palabasin ninyo siya sa pagitan ng mga hanay; at sinomang sumunod sa kaniya, patayin ng tabak: sapagka't sinabi ng saserdote, Huwag patayin siya sa bahay ng Panginoon.
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.
Sa gayo'y binigyang daan nila siya; at siya'y naparoon sa pasukan ng pintuang-daan ng kabayo sa bahay ng hari: at pinatay nila siya roon.
16 Then Jehoiada made an agreement that he and the king and all the other people would be Yahweh’s people.
At si Joiada ay nakipagtipan sa kaniya, at sa buong bayan, at sa hari na sila'y magiging bayan ng Panginoon.
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.
At ang buong bayan ay naparoon sa bahay ni Baal, at ibinagsak, at pinagputolputol ang kaniyang mga dambana at ang kaniyang mga larawan, at pinatay si Mathan na saserdote ni Baal sa harap ng mga dambana.
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.
At inihalal ni Joiada ang mga katungkulan sa bahay ng Panginoon, sa kapangyarihan ng kamay ng mga saserdote na mga Levita, na siyang binahagi ni David sa bahay ng Panginoon, upang maghandog ng mga handog na susunugin sa Panginoon, gaya ng nasusulat sa kautusan ni Moises, na may pagkagalak, at may pagawit ayon sa ayos ni David.
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.
At kaniyang inilagay ang mga tagatanod-pinto sa mga pintuangdaan ng bahay ng Panginoon, upang walang pumasok na marumi sa anomang bagay.
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.
At kaniyang ipinagsama ang mga pinunong kawal ng dadaanin at ang mga mahal na tao, at ang mga tagapamahala ng bayan, at ang buong bayan ng lupain, at ibinaba ang hari mula sa bahay ng Panginoon: at sila'y pumasok sa bahay ng hari, na nagdaan sa pinakamataas na pintuang-daan, at inilagay ang hari sa luklukan ng kaharian.
21 Then all the people of Judah rejoiced. And there was calm throughout the city, because Athaliah had been killed.
Sa gayo'y ang buong bayan ng lupain ay nagalak, at ang bayan ay natahimik: at pinatay nila ng tabak si Athalia.
