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.
Ke na pacl se Athaliah, nina kial Tokosra Ahaziah, el lohngak lah akmuseyuki wen se natul ah, el sap in anwukla nufon mwet in sou in leum uh.
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.
Joash, wen natul Ahaziah mukena kaingla. El lukunna wi mwet ngia anwuki, tuh pa moliyukla el sel Jehosheba, ma loul Tokosra Ahaziah papa tumal ah, ac ma natul Tokosra Jehoram. Jehosheba el usalla ac mutan to se lal nu infukil in motul se in Tempul, ac okanulla lukel Athaliah, pwanang el tia wi anwuki.
3 He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
Jehosheba el okanulla in Tempul ke yac onkosr ac karinganulang ke pacl Athaliah el kasra ac leum fin acn uh.
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.
Tusruktu in yac se akitkosr, Jehoiada mwet tol el sapla nu sin mwet kol lun mwet mweun karinginyal tokosra ac un mwet topang inkul sin tokosra, ac fahk elos in tuku nu in Tempul, ac fulahk we lah elos ac insese nu ke ma su el akola in oru. El kololma Joash, wen natul Tokosra Ahaziah, nu ye mutalos
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.
ac sapkin nu selos: “Ke pacl se kowos ac oru orekma kunowos ke len Sabbath, sie tafu tolu suwos ac fah karingin inkul fulat sin tokosra,
6 Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
ac sie tafu tolu ac fah karingin Mutunpot Sur, ac sie tafu tolu ac liyaung mutunpot se ma oan tukun mwet topang ngia.
7 The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
U luo ma tia orekma ke len Sabbath an elos ac liyaung Tempul in karinganul tokosra.
8 You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
Kowos sruok na cutlass nutuwos an inpouwos ke kowos karinganulang Tokosra Joash, ac welul yen nukewa el fahsr nu we. Kutena mwet fin tuku apkuran nu yuruwos, kowos uniya.”
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.
Mwet kol inge elos akos sap lal Jehoiada, ac use mwet lalos nu yorol — kewana mwet ma orekma tari ke len Sabbath, ac mwet ma tuku in aolulos.
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.
El sang nu sin mwet kol inge osra in fakfuk ac mwe loeyuk natul Tokosra David, su ma tuh karinginyuk in Tempul,
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.
ac el oakiya mwet inge yen selos ke cutlass natulos akola, ac elos tu raunela mutun Tempul in karinganul tokosra.
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!”
Na Jehoiada el pwenilya Joash nu likin Tempul uh, oakiya tefuro nu fin sifal, ac sang nu sel ma simusla ke ma oakwuk nu ke tokosra. Ouinge Joash el mosrweyukla ac fwackyak lah el pa tokosra. Na mwet uh paspasla ac wowoyak ac fahk, “In paht moul lal tokosra!”
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.
Kasra Athaliah el lohngak pusren wowon lun mwet topang ac mwet ah, na el sulaklak som nu ke Tempul, yen mwet uh tukeni we.
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!”
Ac el liyauk tokosra sasu se tu ke sru soko ke nien utyak nu in Tempul, in oana facsin lalos. Tokosra el rauniyukla sin mwet kol lun mwet mweun ac mwet ukuk, ac mwet nukewa sasa ke engan lulap, ac uk mwe ukuk natulos. Athaliah el foloyak, seseya nuknuk lal, wowoyak ac fahk, “Tunyuna! Tunyuna!”
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 el tia lungse in anwuki Athaliah inkul lun Tempul, ouinge el sapkin nu sin mwet kol lun mwet mweun, “Usal fahla inmasrlon takin mwet mweun an nu likin kalkal uh, ac uniya kutena mwet ma srike in molella.”
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.
Elos sruokilya, usalla nu inkul sin tokosra, ac unilya ke Mutunpot Horse.
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.
Mwet tol Jehoiada el oru tuh Tokosra Joash ac mwet uh in orala sie wulela lalos yurin LEUM GOD, lah elos ac mwet na lun LEUM GOD. El oayapa orala sie wulela inmasrlon tokosra ac mwet uh.
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.
Na mwet uh som nu ke tempul lun Baal ac kunausya. Elos fukulya loang ac ma sruloala we, ac unilya Mattan, su mwet tol lun Baal, ye mutun loang uh. Jehoiada el sang in oasr mwet topang su forfor taran Tempul,
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].
na el, oayapa leum lun mwet mweun, wi mwet mweun su karinganul tokosra ac mwet karingin inkul sin tokosra, elos pwenilya tokosra liki Tempul nu ke inkul fulat sel, ac mwet nukewa fahsr tokolos. Tokosra Joash el utyak ke Mutunpot lun Mwet Topang ac muta fin tron lal.
20 All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
Mwet nukewa sessesla ke engan, ac siti sac misla ke sripen Athaliah el tuh anwuki ke inkul sin tokosra.
21 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
Joash el tokosrala lun Judah ke el yac itkosr.
