< 2 Kings 11 >
1 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
Mgbe Atalaya nne Ahazaya hụrụ na nwa ya nwoke anwụọla, ọ gara nʼihu bido igbu ndị niile a mụrụ nʼụlọ eze.
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons [who were] slain; and they hid him, [even] him and his nurse, in the bed-chamber, from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
Ma Jehosheba, bụ nwa nwanyị eze Jehoram, ma bụrụkwa nwanne nwanyị Ahazaya, kuuru Joash nwa Ahazaya, zopu ya site nʼetiti ụmụ ndị ikom eze, bụ ndị a chọrọ igbu egbu. O zoro ya na nwanyị na-elekọta ya anya nʼime ụlọ ndina, ka Atalaya hapụ ịhụ ya, nke a mere na-egbughị ya.
3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
Ya na nwanyị na-elekọta ya anya nọgidere na nzuzo nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, afọ isii, oge ahụ niile Atalaya na-achị nʼala ahụ.
4 And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.
Nʼafọ nke asaa, Jehoiada, ziri ozi kpọọ ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, ndị Karị na ndị nche oku, mee ka ha bịakwute ya nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Ya na ha gbara ndụ, o mekwara ka ha ṅụọ iyi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Mgbe ahụ, o gosiri ha nwa eze.
5 And he commanded them, saying, This [is] the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
O nyere ha iwu, sị, “Nke a bụ ihe unu ga-eme, unu bụ ndị nọ nʼotu atọ ga-abịa ọrụ nʼụbọchị izuike, nke otu ụzọ nʼime unu na-eche ụlọeze nche,
6 And a third part [shall be] at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ ga-anọ nʼọnụ ụzọ Sua, ebe otu ụzọ ga-anọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, nʼazụ ndị na-eche nche nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke.
7 And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.
Ma unu bụ otu abụọ ndị kwesiri ịga ezumike site nʼọrụ unu nʼụbọchị izuike, ga-eguzo na nche nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nʼihi eze.
8 And ye shall compass the king around, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain. And be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
Doonụ onwe unu gburugburu eze, onye ọbụla nʼime unu jide ihe agha nʼaka ya. Onye ọbụla nke na-abịa nso ahịrị unu, ka e gbuo ya. Nọrọnụ eze nso ebe ọbụla ọ gara, mgbe ọ na-apụ nʼezi na mgbe ọ na-aba nʼime.”
9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all [things] that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
Ndị ọchịagha ndị a na-achị narị ndị agha mere dịka Jehoiada, onye nchụaja nyere nʼiwu. Onye ọbụla kpọrọ ndị ikom ya, ma ndị na-emechi ọrụ, ma ndị na-abata ịrụ ọrụ nʼụbọchị izuike, bịakwute Jehoiada, bụ onye nchụaja.
10 And to the captains over hundreds the priest gave king David's spears and shields, that [were] in the temple of the LORD.
O nyere ndị ọchịagha ahụ ùbe na ọta niile, ndị bụrịị nke eze Devid, ndị dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, around the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, [along] by the altar and the temple.
Onye ọbụla na ndị nche ahụ ji ngwa agha nʼaka ya, ha guzoro onwe ha, nọdụ eze gburugburu, na nso ebe ịchụ aja na ụlọnsọ ukwu, site nʼakụkụ ndịda ruo nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
Jehoiada kpọpụtara nwa eze, kpube ya okpueze nʼisi, o nyere ya otu akwụkwọ nke ihe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, chie ya eze. Ha tekwara ya mmanụ ịbụ eze. Ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ kụrụ aka, tie mkpu, sị, “Ka eze dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi!”
13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [and] of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.
Mgbe Atalaya nụrụ mkpọtụ nke ndị nche na ndị mmadụ na-eme, ọ gakwuru ndị ahụ nọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner [was], and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. And Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, treason.
O lepụrụ anya, ma lee eze, ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ogidi, dịka omenaala mmemme ịchị eze si dị. Ndịisi na ndị na-afụ opi nọ nʼakụkụ eze. Ndị niile nke ala ahụ nọkwa na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na-afụ opi. Atalaya dọwara uwe ya, sị, “Nnupu isi megide eze! Nke a bụ nnupu isi megide ọchịchị!”
15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said to them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.
Jehoiada, bụ onye nchụaja nyere ndịisi ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, bụ ndị na-elekọta usuu ndị agha, iwu sị ha, “Sitenụ nʼebe ahụ kpọpụta ya nʼetiti ahịrị unu, onye ọbụla nke gbasoro ya, werenụ mma agha gbuo onye ahụ.” Nʼihi na onye nchụaja sịrị, “Agaghị egbu ya nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.”
16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
Ya mere, ha jidere ya, mgbe o rutere nʼụzọ ebe ịnyịnya si abata nʼogige ụlọeze, ebe ahụ ka ha nọ gbuo ya.
17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the people.
Jehoiada mere ka ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti Onyenwe anyị na eze, na ndị mmadụ, na ha ga-abụ ndị nke Onyenwe anyị. O mekwara ka ọgbụgba ndụ dịrị nʼetiti eze na ndị ahụ.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images they broke wholly in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the the house of the LORD.
Ndị niile nke ala ahụ gara nʼụlọ nchụaja Baal kwatuo ya. Ha tidasịrị ebe nchụaja na arụsị niile dị nʼebe ahụ mee ka ọ darisịa, gbukwaa Matan onye nchụaja Baal nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, Jehoiada onye nchụaja, debekwara ndị nche ka ha lekọta ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
Ọ kpọọrọ ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, ha na ndị Karị, na ndị nche, ha na ndị ala ahụ niile, ha niile dupụtara eze site nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị site nʼọnụ ụzọ ndị nche banye nʼụlọeze. Eze were ọnọdụ ya nʼelu ocheeze.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword [beside] the king's house.
Ndị ala ahụ niile ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu, obodo ahụ dakwara jụụ, nʼihi na e ji mma agha gbuo Atalaya nʼụlọeze.
21 Seven years old [was] Jehoash when he began to reign.
Joash gbara afọ asaa mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze.
