2 Chronicles 23
1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him.
Jehoiada loh kum rhih khuiah thaa a huel tih yakhat mangpa rhoek taengah, Jeroham capa Azariah taengah, Jehohanan capa Ishmael taengah, Obed capa Azariah taengah, Adaiah capa Maaseiah taengah, Zikhri capa Elishaphat taengah paipi neh amah taengla a loh.
2 They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah Judah te a hil uh tih Judah khopuei tom lamkah Levi rhoek khaw, Israel napa rhoek kah a lu rhoek khaw a coi uh phoeiah Jerusalem la mael uh.
3 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.
Hlangping boeih long khaw Pathen im ah manghai neh paipi a saii uh. Te vaengah amih te, “Manghai capa he BOEIPA loh David koca ham a thui vanbangla manghai pai saeh.
4 This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
Hekah hno he saii uh. Nangmih Sabbath vaengah aka pawk khosoih rhoek neh Levi hlopthum khuikah te cingkhaa thoh tawt la om saeh.
5 A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of Yahweh’s house.
Hlopthum ah pakhat te manghai im ah, hlopthum ah pakhat bal te khoengim vongka ah saeh. Pilnam pum he BOEIPA im kah vongup ah om saeh.
6 But let no one come into Yahweh’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Yahweh’s instructions.
Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek khuikah aka thotat ham bueng phoeiah tah BOEIPA im la kun uh boel saeh. Amih tah amamih khaw a cim dongah kun uh saeh. Tedae pilnam boeih long tah BOEIPA kah a kuek te ngaithuen uh saeh.
7 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
Levi rhoek loh manghai te a kut dongkah a hnopai neh a taengah rhip vael uh saeh lamtah im khuila aka kun tah duek sak saeh. Manghai a kunael vaengah khaw a vuenva vaengah khaw a taengah om puei saeh,” a ti nah.
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.
Te dongah Levi rhoek neh Judah pum long khaw a cungkuem dongah khosoih Jehoiada kah a uen bangla a saii uh. Tedae khosoih Jehoiada loh boelnah te a phaelhael pawt dongah hlang loh amah hlang te tah Sabbath aka vuenva ham neh Sabbath aka kunael ham a khuen uh.
9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
Te phoeiah khosoih Jehoiada loh yakhat mangpa rhoek te caai neh, photling len khaw, photling ca khaw, manghai David loh Pathen im ah a khueh te a paek.
10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.
Te vaengah pilnam neh hlang boeih loh a kut dongkah a pumcumnah neh bantang im kaep lamloh banvoei im kaep hil, hmueihtuk taengah khaw, manghai im kaepvai ah khaw a pai sak.
11 Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
Te phoeiah manghai capa te a khuen uh tih a soah rhuisam neh olphong a khuem sak uh. Anih te a manghai sak uh tih Jehoiada neh anih koca rhoek loh a koelh phoeiah tah, “Manghai tah hing pai saeh,” a ti uh.
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house.
Pilnam kah a yong ol neh manghai kah a thangthen ol te Athaliah loh a yaak dongah BOEIPA im kah pilnam taengla cet.
13 Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”
A sawt vaengah tah manghai te a khuirhai kah tung taengah, mangpa rhoek neh olueng rhoek te manghai taengah tarha ana pai pah. Khohmuen pilnam boeih khaw a kohoe tih olueng a ueng thil uh. Lumlaa kah tumbael neh aka hlai khaw, thangthen hamla aka ming khaw om. Te dongah Athaliah loh a himbai te a phen tih, “Lairhui, lairhui,” a ti.
14 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in Yahweh’s house.”
Khosoih Jehoiada loh tatthai aka taem yakhat mangpa rhoek te a tueih tih amih te, “Anih he rhongpai im la khuen uh lamtah anih hnukah aka bang rhoek khaw cunghang dongah duek saeh,” a ti nah. Khosoih loh, “Anih te BOEIPA im ah duek sak uh boeh,” a ti nah.
15 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
Te dongah manghai im kah marhang vongka khuirhai te a pha vaengah tah anih soah kut a hlah uh tih pahoi a duek sak uh.
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.
Te phoeiah Jehoiada loh amah laklo neh pilnam boeih laklo ah khaw, manghai laklo ah khaw, BOEIPA kah pilnam la om ham paipi a saii.
17 All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Pilnam pum te Baal im la cet uh tih a palet uh. A hmueihtuk neh a mueihlip te khaw a phaek pa uh. Baal kah khosoih Mattan te khaw hmueihtuk hmai ah a ngawn uh.
18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of Yahweh’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in Yahweh’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
Te phoeiah Jehoiada loh BOEIPA im kah cawhkung rhoek te BOEIPA im ah David loh a hmoel Levi khosoih rhoek kut ah a tloeng. Te rhoek te David kut dongah khaw BOEIPA kah hmueihhlutnah te Moses olkhueng khuiah a daek bangla kohoenah neh, laa neh aka khuen la om uh.
19 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of Yahweh’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
BOEIPA im kah vongka ah thoh tawt a pai sak tih rhalawt tah olka cungkuem dongah khaw mop thai pawh.
20 He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from Yahweh’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
Te phoeiah yakhat mangpa khaw, aka khuet rhoek khaw, pilnam aka taemrhai rhoek khaw, khohmuen pilnam boeih khaw a khuen tih manghai te BOEIPA im lamloh a suntlak puei. Te phoeiah manghai im kah a so vongka khui longah kun tih manghai te ram kah ngolkhoel dongah a ngol sak uh.
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
Te dongah khohmuen pilnam boeih tah a kohoe uh tih khopuei khaw mong. Tedae Athaliah te tah cunghang neh a duek sak uh.
