< 2 Kings 11 >

1 When King Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
Judah lengpa Ahaziah nu Athaliah chun, achapa thi ahetdoh phat’in, aman leng insung mite jouse chu suhmanghel ding ana gotan ahi.
2 So Ahaziah’s sons were all about to be murdered. But Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s half-sister, took Ahaziah’s [very young] son Joash and hid him and (his nursemaid/the woman who took care of him) in a bedroom [in the temple]. So he was not killed.
Ahinlah Ahaziah sopinu Jehosheba Jehoram lengpa chanu chun, Ahaziah chapa Joash chu chapang cha ana hi nalaijin, leng insung mite jouse thagam ding thu ajahdoh phat in Joash chu ana guhdoh’a ahin sintou nu chutoh alupna insung dan sunga chun ana sellin, Athaliah khutthah a kon chun ana huhdoh in ahi.
3 He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
Athaliah lengnu in kum gup sung jen leggam sunga vai ahop sungin, Joash chu Pakai hou n sunga ana kisel’ah ahi.
4 But during the next year, Jehoiada the Supreme Priest summoned the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards and the palace guards. He told them to come to the temple. There he required them to solemnly promise that they would do what he told them to do. And he showed King Ahaziah’s son Joash to them.
Athaliah vaihom kal kum gup kichai akum sagi lhin kum in, Jehoiada thempu in asepai lamkaipa, Car mite sepaite, chuleh khopi ngah apangho Pakai hou in na akoukhom tan ahi. Hichun aman amaho chutoh Pakai houin’ah amaho chutoh, khonung changeiya dettah le kitah tah a adinpina diuvin akihahsel sah in chule kitepna khat ana sempeh in, hiche jouchun aman lengpa chapa Joash chu ahin puidoh’in amaho chu avetsah tan ahi.
5 He gave them these instructions: “There are three groups of you guards. When one group finishes their work on the Sabbath day, [divide yourselves into] three smaller groups. One group must guard the palace.
Jehoiada chun amaho kom achun, “Nangho hop thumma naki khen uva, hopkhat cholngah nileh leng inpi ngah a napandiu ahi, hiche hi nabol teidiu ahi,” atipeh tan ahi.
6 Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
“Hopthum ma hopkhat dangma chu, Sur kelkot ngah’a napandiu chuleh hopthum ma hopkhat dangma chu khopi ngah’a napandiu, akisei hichang thum laiya hi nabonchauva khopi na ngadiu ahi,” ati.
7 The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
“Cholngah nikhoa kinbollou loi ni chun, Pakai houin na lengpa nadinpi diu ahi.
8 You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
Nakhut uva galmanchah nakichoi uva lengpa tahsa hoibitna dinga akimvella nadindiu, chule koi hijongleh ahung lhailut goa aumleh natha jeng diu ahi. Lengpa chu ache nachanna najui diu ahi,” ati.
9 The officers [who supervised the guards] did what Jehoiada told them to do. Each one brought to Jehoiada the guards that he supervised—the guards who were just finishing their work and those who were about to start their work on the Sabbath day.
Hiti chun sepai vaipo hochun Jehoiada thempun aseipeh bang bangun abollun ahi. Sepai vaipo ho chun cholngah nia panla dingho ahin alalou dingho ahin asepaite cheh uchu Jehoiada thempu pa kom ahin puijun,
10 The priest distributed to the commanders of the guards the spears and shields that had belonged to King David, that were kept/stored in the temple.
Chule aman amaho chu tengcha holeh ompho hochu ana ban hoppeh in ahi, hiche manchah hohi David lengpan a ahin, Pakai houin na ana kikoi jing ahi.
11 Then he commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each one with his sword in his hand, all around the young king.
Leng inpi ngah hochun amanchah’u kigosademin akichoi uvin a lengpau chu aum kimvel un ana ngah un ahi. Amahon chun houin lhanglang ning apat sahlang ning geijin akigol lhungkei jun, maicham jong aumkimvel un ahi.
12 Then he brought Joash out. He put the crown on his head and gave him a scroll on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey]. Then he poured some olive oil on Joash’s head and proclaimed that he was now the king. The people all clapped their hands and shouted, “We desire/hope that the king will live for many years!”
Hichun Jehoiada in lengpa chapa Joash chu ahin puidoh’in, aluchanga lallukhuh akhuh peh in Pathen danthu lekhabu khat apen, hiti chun thao anun, leng ahitai tin aphongdoh un, mijousen khut abengun, “Lengpa damsot hen,” tin asam un ahi.
13 When Athaliah heard the noise that was being made by the guards and the other people, she ran to the temple, where the people were gathered.
Athaliah in, mipi hole leng inpi ngah ho husan chu ajahdoh phat’in, ipi thilsoh hitam? tin aveding in gangchal’in houin langa chun aga lhailut tan ahi.
14 She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and [some of] them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes [to show her distress] and shouted, “You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!”
Amun aga lhun phat’in, lallukhuh kikhuh’a lengthah khat chonna ngaidolla thuneitah'a khompi kom’a ana din chu amutan, chule sepai lamkai holeh pengkul mut ho avella adin chule gamsung pumpia mipi hochun kipah tah a sumkon amut’u aga mudoh tan ahi. Hichun Athaliah in hiche ho jouse hi amudoh phat’in, along ana behseh jeng in aponsil abtottel in, “Lengmun chu! Lengmun chu!” tin asam tai.
15 Jehoiada [immediately] said, “Kill her, but do not kill her here at the temple of Yahweh! Take her away between two rows of guards. And kill anyone who tries to rescue her!”
Jehoiada thempu pan asepaiho vesuija pang sepai lamkai hochu thu apen, “Amanu chu man unlang Houin maija sepai holah akhun puilut un, chuleh koihileh amanu huhna dinga hung lut aumle that jingun,” atin ahi. Ajeh chu thempu pa chun, “Amanu chu Pakai houin sunga tha louding ahi,” anati sa ahi.
16 [She tried to flee, but] the guards seized her and took her to the palace, to the place where horses enter the courtyard. They killed her there.
Hichun amahon, amanu chu aman un, leng inpia sakolte lutna kelkot langa chun apui amang un, hikom’a chun athat tauvin ahi.
17 Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between the king and the people, that they would always (obey/be faithful to) Yahweh. He also made an agreement requiring the people to be loyal to Joash their king.
Hichun Jehoiada in mipite ho jouse chu “Pakai mite” ahina diuvin, Pakai leh lengpa kikah chuleh mipite kikah a kitepna khat asem tan ahi. Chujongleh aman lengpa leh mipi kikah a jong kitepna khat asem in ahi.
18 Then all the people of Israel who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and the statues of Baal. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars. Jehoiada stationed/put guards at the temple of Yahweh.
Hichun gamsunga mipiho jouse chu acheuvin Baal doi houna houin ho chu asulhauvin, adoiphung u, maicham leh adoilimho jouse chu akhense uvin asuchip’un chuleh Baal thempu Mattan jong chu adoiphung maicham maitah achun athat tauvin ahi. Hiche jouchun Jehoiada thempupan jong, Pakai houin vengtup dingin sepai ana koiyin ahi.
19 Then he and the officers of the temple, the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards, and the king’s bodyguards brought the king from the temple to the palace. All the people [followed them]. Joash entered the palace at the Guard Gate and sat down on the throne, [which showed that he was the new king].
Hijou chun sepai lamkai holeh Car mite sepaiho chuleh leng inpi ngah sepaiho chuleh gamsung mipi ho chun Joash lengpa chu Pakai houin na konin ahinpui doh un, leng inpi ngah ho panmun kelkot a chun ahung kitollut uvin, chuin lengpa chu lengte laltouna a chun atoutai.
20 All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
Hiti chun gamsung mipi abonchauvin akipah sohkeijun chule gamsung’a chamna ana lengpan tan ahi, ajeh chu leng inpia chu Athaliah kitinu ana tha u ahitai.
21 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
Joash in lengvai ahinpoh chun ama kum chu kum sagi bou ahi nalai jin ahi.
