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.
Ní ọdún keje, Jehoiada fi agbára rẹ̀ hàn. O dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú àwọn alákòóso ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún kan, Asariah ọmọ Jerohamu, Iṣmaeli ọmọ Jehohanani Asariah ọmọ Obedi, Maaseiah ọmọ Adaiah àti Elisafati ọmọ Sikri.
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,
Wọ́n lọ sí gbogbo Juda, wọ́n sì pe àwọn ará Lefi àti àwọn olórí àwọn ìdílé àwọn ará Israẹli láti gbogbo àwọn ìlú jọ. Nígbà tí wọ́n wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Gbogbo ìpéjọ náà dá májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú ọba ní ilé Ọlọ́run. Jehoiada wí fún wọn pé, “Ọmọkùnrin ọba yóò jẹ ọba, bí Olúwa ti ṣèlérí nípa àwọn ìran Dafidi.
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].
Nísinsin yìí èyí ni ohun tí ó yẹ kí ó ṣe, ìdámẹ́ta àlùfáà yín àti àwọn ará Lefi tí ó ń lọ fún iṣẹ́ ìsìn ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi ni kí ó bojútó àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn.
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.
Ìdámẹ́ta yín níbi ààfin ọba àti ìdámẹ́ta níbi ẹnu odi ìdásílẹ̀ àti gbogbo ọkùnrin mìíràn ni kí ó wà ní àgbàlá ààfin ilé Olúwa.
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.
Kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó gbọdọ̀ wọ inú ilé Olúwa yàtọ̀ sí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi tí a rán ní iṣẹ́ ìsìn. Wọ́n lè wọlé nítorí tí a ti yà wọ́n sọ́tọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo ọkùnrin mìíràn ni kí wọn ó sọ ohun tí Olúwa ti yàn fún wọn.
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.”
Àwọn ará Lefi gbọdọ̀ wà ní ìdúró ṣinṣin yí ọba ká. Olúkúlùkù pẹ̀lú àwọn nǹkan ìjà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá wọ ilé Olúwa ni kí ẹ pa. Ẹ dúró ti ọba níbikíbi tí ó bá lọ.”
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.
Àwọn ará Lefi àti gbogbo ọkùnrin Juda ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Jehoiada àlùfáà ti paláṣẹ. Olúkúlùkù mú àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ̀, àwọn tí wọ́n lọ fún iṣẹ́ ìsìn ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi àti àwọn tí wọ́n ń kúrò ní ibi iṣẹ́. Nítorí Jehoiada àlùfáà kò ì tí tú ìpín kankan sílẹ̀.
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.
Jehoiada àlùfáà, sì fi ọ̀kọ̀ àti asà, àti àpáta wọ̀n-ọn-nì, tí ó jẹ́ ti ọba Dafidi tí wọn wà ní ilé Ọlọ́run, fún àwọn balógun ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún.
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.
Ó sì to gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ti ọba káàkiri, olúkúlùkù pẹ̀lú ohun ìjà rẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, láti apá ọ̀tún ilé náà títí dé apá òsì ilé náà, lẹ́bàá pẹpẹ àti lẹ́bàá ilé náà.
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!”
Jehoiada àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ mú ọmọkùnrin ọba jáde wá wọ́n sì gbé adé sórí rẹ̀; wọ́n mú ẹ̀dà májẹ̀mú kan fún un. Wọ́n sì kéde rẹ̀ lọ́ba. Wọ́n fi àmì òróró yàn án, wọ́n sì kígbe pé, “Kí ọba kí ó pẹ́!”
12 When Athaliah heard the noise being made by the people running [toward the king] and cheering, she ran to the temple.
Nígbà tí Ataliah gbọ́ igbe àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n ń sáré tí wọ́n ń kígbe ọba, ó lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wọn ní ilé Olúwa.
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!”
Ó sì wò, sì kíyèsi, ọba dúró ní ibùdó rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀bá ẹnu-ọ̀nà, àti àwọn balógun àti àwọn afùnpè lọ́dọ̀ ọba, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà sì yọ̀, wọ́n sì fọn ìpè, àti àwọn akọrin pẹ̀lú ohun èlò ìyìn. Nígbà náà ni Ataliah fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì kégbe wí pé, “Ọ̀tẹ̀! Ọ̀tẹ̀!”
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!”
Jehoiada àlùfáà mú àwọn alákòóso ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún, tí ó wà ní àbojútó àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun, ó sì wá wí fún wọn pé, “Mú un jáde wá láàrín àwọn ọgbà, kí a sì fi idà pa ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá tẹ̀lé.” Nítorí tí àlùfáà ti wí pé, “Má ṣe pa á nínú ilé Olúwa.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n fi ipá mú un kí ó tó dé ẹnu-ọ̀nà àbáwọlé ẹṣin ti ilé ọba, wọ́n sì ti pa á níbẹ̀.
16 Then Jehoiada made an agreement that he and the king and all the other people would be Yahweh’s people.
Nígbà náà ni Jehoiada, dá májẹ̀mú pé òun àti àwọn ènìyàn àti ọba yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn Olúwa.
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.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn lọ sí ilé Baali, wọ́n sì fà á ya lulẹ̀. Wọ́n fọ́ àwọn pẹpẹ àti àwọn òrìṣà, wọ́n sì pa Mattani àlùfáà Baali níwájú àwọn pẹpẹ.
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.
Nígbà náà, Jehoiada tẹ àwòrán ilé Olúwa sí ọwọ́ àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ará Lefi ẹni tí Dafidi ti fi ṣe iṣẹ́ ní ilé Olúwa láti tẹ ẹbọ sísun ti Olúwa bí a ti kọ ọ́ nínú òfin Mose, pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ àti orin kíkọ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Dafidi ti pàṣẹ.
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.
Ó mú àwọn olùṣọ́nà wà ni ipò ìdúró ní ẹnu odi ilé Olúwa kí ẹni aláìmọ́ nínú ohunkóhun kó má ba à wọlé.
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.
Ó mú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ àwọn alákòóso ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún, àwọn ẹni ọlá, àwọn olórí àwọn ènìyàn àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà. Ó sì mú ọba sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láti ilé Olúwa. Wọ́n lọ sínú ààfin láti ẹnu òde ti òkè. Wọ́n sì fi ọba jókòó lórí ìtẹ́.
21 Then all the people of Judah rejoiced. And there was calm throughout the city, because Athaliah had been killed.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà sì yọ̀, ìlú náà sì dákẹ́ rọ́rọ́. Nítorí a pa Ataliah pẹ̀lú idà.
