2 Chronicles 23
1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada showed his strength and entered into a covenant with the commanders of hundreds, Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka wa mũgwanja Jehoiada nĩonanirie hinya wake. Nĩathondekire kĩrĩkanĩro na anene a ita a thigari 100 nao maarĩ: Azaria mũrũ wa Jerohamu, na Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Jehohanani, na Azaria mũrũ wa Obedi, na Maaseia mũrũ wa Adaia, na Elishafatu mũrũ wa Zikiri.
2 They went about in Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, as well as the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Nao magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Juda wothe makĩũnganagia Alawii na atongoria a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli kuuma matũũra-inĩ mothe. Rĩrĩa mookire Jerusalemu-rĩ,
3 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. Jehoiada said to them, “See, the king's son will reign, as Yahweh has said concerning the descendants of David.
kĩũngano gĩothe nĩkĩagĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na mũthamaki kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai. Jehoiada akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ wa mũthamaki no nginya athamake, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ njiaro cia Daudi.
4 This is what you must do: A third of you priests and Levites who come to serve on the Sabbath will be guards at the doors.
Na rĩrĩ, ũũ nĩguo mũgwĩka: Gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ kĩa inyuĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa megũthiĩ wĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ mũrangĩre mĩrango,
5 Another third will be at the king's house, and the other third will be at the Foundation Gate. All the people will be in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh.
gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ kĩanyu mũrangĩre nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na gĩcunjĩ gĩa gatatũ mũrangĩre kĩhingo kĩa mũthingi, nao andũ acio angĩ othe maikare nja cia hekarũ ya Jehova.
6 Allow no one to come into the house of Yahweh, except for the priests and the Levites who are serving. They may enter because they are consecrated. But all the other people must obey the commands of Yahweh.
Mũtikanareke mũndũ o na ũmwe atoonye hekarũ ya Jehova tiga o athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii arĩa marĩ wĩra-inĩ; acio no matoonye tondũ nĩ aamũre, no andũ acio angĩ othe marangĩre kĩrĩa Jehova oigĩte marangĩre.
7 The Levites must surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be killed. Stay with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
Alawii makeiga mathiũrũrũkĩirie mũthamaki, o mũndũ arĩ na indo ciake cia mbaara guoko-inĩ. Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩtoonya hekarũ no nginya oragwo. Ikaragai hakuhĩ na mũthamaki kũrĩa guothe angĩthiĩ.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah served in every way in the manner in which Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one took his men, those who were to come in to serve on the Sabbath, and those who were to leave off serving on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed any of their divisions.
Nao Alawii na andũ othe a Juda magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai aathanire. O mũndũ akĩoya andũ ake arĩa maathiiaga wĩra mũthenya wa Thabatũ na arĩa moimagĩra wĩra, nĩgũkorwo Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ndarĩ gĩkundi o na kĩmwe aarekereirie.
9 Then Jehoiada the priest brought to the commanders spears and small and large shields that had been King David's that were in the house of God.
Ningĩ akĩhe anene a ita a thigari 100 matimũ na ngo iria nene na nini iria ciarĩ cia Mũthamaki Daudi iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai.
10 Jehoiada placed all the soldiers, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, surrounding the king.
Akĩrũgamia andũ othe, o mũndũ na indo ciake cia mbaara, magĩthiũrũrũkĩria mũthamaki, hau hakuhĩ na kĩgongona, na hakuhĩ na hekarũ, kuuma mwena wa gũthini nginya mwene wa gathigathini wayo.
11 Then they brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant decrees. Then they made him king, and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. Then they said, “Long live the king.”
Jehoiada na ariũ ake makĩruta mũriũ wa mũthamaki na makĩmwĩkĩra thũmbĩ ya ũthamaki; makĩmũnengera ibuku rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro na makĩanĩrĩra atĩ nĩwe mũthamaki. Makĩmũitĩrĩria maguta na makĩanĩrĩra, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki arotũũra nginya tene!”
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people in the house of Yahweh,
Rĩrĩa Athalia aaiguire inegene rĩa andũ makĩhanyũka magĩkũngũyagĩra mũthamaki, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ o kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
13 and she looked, and, behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the commanders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and the singers were playing musical instruments and leading the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”
Agĩcũthĩrĩria, na akĩona mũthamaki arũgamĩte gĩtugĩ-inĩ gĩake itoonyero-inĩ. Nao anene na ahuhi tũrumbeta marũgamĩte hakuhĩ na mũthamaki, na andũ othe a bũrũri magagĩkena makĩhuhaga tũrumbeta, nao aini marĩ na indo cia kũina magatongoria andũ arĩa angĩ na nyĩmbo cia kũgooca. Nake Athalia agĩtembũranga nguo ciake cia igũrũ, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ungumania! Ungumania!”
14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of hundreds who were over the army and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; anyone who follows her, let him be killed with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not kill her in the house of Yahweh.”
Nake Jehoiada ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩtũma anene a ita a thigari igana igana, arĩa maarĩ arũgamĩrĩri a mbũtũ cia ita, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũrutũrũrei, mũmũrehe arĩ gatagatĩ ga thigari, na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩmuuma thuutha, oragwo.” Nĩgũkorwo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Mũtikamũũragĩre hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.”
15 So they seized her as she went into the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's house, and there they killed her.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũnyiita, agĩkinya itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Kĩhingo kĩa Mbarathi, o kũu nja-inĩ cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, makĩmũũragĩra hau.
16 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh's people.
Nake Jehoiada akĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro atĩ we, na andũ, na mũthamaki megũtuĩka andũ a Jehova.
17 So all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal's altars and his images to pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars.
Nao andũ othe magĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Baali na makĩmĩtharia. Makiunanga igongona na mĩhianano na makĩũragĩra Matani ũrĩa warĩ mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Baali hau mbere ya igongona icio.
18 Jehoiada appointed officers for the house of Yahweh under the hand of the priests, who were Levites, whom David had assigned to the house of Yahweh, to offer the burnt offerings to Yahweh, as it was written in the law of Moses, together with rejoicing and singing, as David had given direction.
Ningĩ Jehoiada akĩneana ũrũgamĩrĩri wa hekarũ ya Jehova moko-inĩ ma athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii, arĩa maaheetwo wĩra hekarũ-inĩ nĩ Daudi, marutagĩre Jehova magongona ma njino o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ wa Musa, o makĩinaga na magakena o ta ũrĩa Daudi aathanĩte.
19 Jehoiada set guards at the gates of the house of Yahweh, so that no one that was unclean in any way should enter.
O na ningĩ nĩaigire aikaria a mĩrango ihingo-inĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe mũndũ o na ũmwe ũtetheretie ũngĩtoonya.
20 Jehoiada took with him the commanders of hundreds, the noblemen, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land. He brought down the king from the house of Yahweh; the people came through the Upper Gate to the king's house and sat the king on the throne of the kingdom.
Akĩoya anene a ita thigari igana, na anene arĩa angĩ, na aathani a andũ, na andũ othe a bũrũri, magĩikũrũkia mũthamaki kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova. Magĩtoonya nyũmba ya ũthamaki magereire Kĩhingo kĩa Rũgongo na magĩikarĩria mũthamaki gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩa ũnene,
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. As for Athaliah, they had killed her with the sword.
nao andũ othe a bũrũri magĩkena. Narĩo itũũra inene rĩkĩhoorera, tondũ Athalia nĩarĩkĩtie kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
