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.
A IKE aku la o Atalia, ka makuwahine o Ahazia, ua make kana keiki, ku ae la ia, a pepehi aku la i ko ka hale alii a pau.
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.
Aka o Iehoseba, ke kaikamahine a Iehorama ke alii, ke kaikuwahine o Ahazia, lawe malu aku la oia ia Ioasa, ke keiki a Ahazia, mai waena mai o na keiki a ke alii i pepehiia: a huna lakou ia ia, ia ia a me kona kahu iloko o ke keena moe, mai Atalia aku, aole ia i make.
3 He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
A noho hunaia oia me ia ma ka hale o Iehova i na makahiki eono. A noho alii iho la o Atalia maluna o ka aina.
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.
A i ka hiku o ka makahiki, hoouna aku la o Iehoiada e kii i na lunahaneri, a me na kapena, a me ka poe kiai, a lawe mai ia lakou io na la iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a hana iho la ia me lakou i kuikahi, a hoohiki aku la ia lakou maloko o ka hale o Iehova, a hoike aku oia ia lakou i ke keiki a ke alii.
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.
Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, O keia ka oukou e hana'i: O ka hapakolu o oukou, na mea i hele i ka Sabati e lilo i poe kiai e: kiai ai i ka hale o ke alii.
6 Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
A he hapakolu ma ka ipuka o Sura, a he hapakolu ma ka puka mahope o ka poe kiai; a e malama oukou i ke kiai ana no ka hale, o wawahiia.
7 The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
A elua poe o oukou a pau i hele aku i ka la Sabati, e malama lakou i ke kiai o ka hale o Iehova no ke alii.
8 You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
A e noho oukou a puni i ke alii, o kela kanaka keia kanaka me ka mea kaua ma kona lima: a o ka mea e komo iwaena o na papakoa, o pepehiia oia: a o oukou pu me ke alii i kona hele ana iwaho, a me kona komo ana iloko.
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.
A hana aku la na luna haneri, e like me na mea a pau a Iehoiada ke kahuna i kauoha mai ai: a lawe aku la kela mea keia mea i kona poe kanaka e komo ana iloko i ka Sabati, me ka poe e hele ana iwaho i ka Sabati, a hele mai lakou io Iehoiada la ke kahuna.
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.
A haawi aku la o Iehoiada ke kahuna na na lunahaneri i na ihe a me na palekaua a Davida ke alii, na mea maloko o ka hale o Iehova.
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.
A ku ae la ka poe kiai, o kela kanaka keia kanaka me kana mea kaua ma kona lima, a puni ke alii, mai ka aoao akau o ka hale, a hiki i ka aoao hema o ka hale, ma ke kuahu, a ma ka hale.
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!”
A lawe mai la ia i ke keiki a ke alii iwaho, a haawi ia ia i ka papalealii, a me ke kanawai; a hooalii ia ia, a poni ia ia; a paipai lakou i na lima, i aku la, E ola ke alii.
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.
A loho o Atalia i ka leo o ka poe kiai, a me na kanaka, hele mai no ia i na kanaka iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
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!”
A nana aku la ia, aia hoi, e ka ana ke alii maluna o ka awai, e like ka hana ana, a o na luna, a o na pupuhi me ke alii; o olioli na kanaka o ka aina, a puhi i na pu; a haehae iho la o Atalia i kona aahu, a kahea aku la, He kipi, he kipi!
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!”
Kauoha aku la o Iehoiada ke kahuna i na lunahaneri, a me na luna o ke kaua, a i aku la ia lakou, E lawe aku ia ia nei mailoko aku o ka papa koa, a e pepehi aku i ka mea e hahai ana mahope ona me ka pahikaua. No ka mea, ua i mai ke kahuna, Mai pepehiia oia ma ka hale o Iehova.
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.
A kau aku la lakou i na lima maluna ona; a hele aku ia ma ke ala i hele ai na lio i ka hale o ke alii; a pepehiia oia malaila.
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.
A hana aku la o Iehoiada i berita iwaena o Iehova a o ke alii a me na kanaka, i lilo ai lakou i poe kanaka no Iehova; a iwaena o ke alii hoi a me na kanaka.
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.
A komo aku na kanaka a pau o ka aina iloko o ka hale o Baala, a wawahi iho la ia; a ulupa loa iho la lakou i kona mau kuahu, a me kona mau kii, a pepehi iho la lakou ia Matana ke kahuna o Baala imua o na kuahu, a hoonoho iho la ke kahuna i poe kiai maluna o ka hale o Iehova.
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].
A lawe aku la ia i na lunahaneri, a me na kapena, me ka poe kiai, a me na kanaka a pau o ka aina, a lawe mai lakou i ke alii mai ka hale o Iehova mai, a hele mai lakou ma ke ala o ka ipuka o ka poe kiai i ka hale o ke alii; a noho iho la ia maluna o ka nohoalii o nalii.
20 All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
A olioli na kanaka a pau o ka aina, a ua maluhia ke kulanakauhale; a pepehi iho la lakou ia Alaila me ka pahikana ma ka hale o ke alii.
21 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
Ehiku na makahiki o Iehoasa i kona manawa i lilo ai ia i alii.
