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.
Na i te whitu o nga tau ka whakanuia e Iehoiara he kaha mona; i riro hoki i a ia nga rangatira rau, a Ataria tama a Ierohama, a Ihimaera tama a Iehohanana, a Ataria tama a Opere, a Maaheia tama a Araia, a Erihapata tama a Tikiri, hei hoa mona, me a rawa ki te kawenata.
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.
Na haereerea ana e ratou a Hura a taka noa, huihuia ana e ratou nga Riwaiti i roto i nga pa katoa o Hura, ratou ko nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o Iharaira, a haere ana ratou ki Hiruharama.
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 the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.
Na ka whakarite kawenata te whakaminenga katoa ki te kingi i roto i te whare o te Atua. I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Nana, hei kingi te tama a te kingi, hei pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai mo nga tama a Rawiri.
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.
Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai; ko te tuatoru o nga wehenga o koutou e haere mai ana i te hapati, ara o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, hei kaitiaki mo nga kuwaha;
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 the LORD’s house.
Ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te whare o te kingi; ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te kuwaha o te turanga; ko te iwi katoa hoki hei nga marae o te whare o Ihowa.
6 But let no one come into the LORD’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 the LORD’s instructions.
Kaua ia tetahi e tomo ki te whare o Ihowa, ko nga tohunga anake, ratou ko te hunga o nga Riwaiti e minita ana; ko ratou e haere ki roto, no te mea he tapu ratou. Ko te iwi katoa ia hei tiaki i nga mea a Ihowa.
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.”
Na me karapoti te kingi e nga Riwaiti a tawhio noa; hei tona ringa ano te patu a tenei, a tenei; a ki te tomo tetahi ki te whare, me whakamate. Hei te taha tonu koutou o te kingi i tona haerenga mai, i tona haerenga atu.
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.
Na ka meatia e nga Riwaiti, e Hura katoa nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Iehoiara tohunga; a ka mau ratou ki ana tangata, ki ana tangata, ki nga mea e haere ana ki roto i te hapati, ki te hunga ano e haere atu ana ki waho i te hapati; kihai hoki a Ie hoiara tohunga i tuku i nga wehenga kia haere.
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.
A i homai e Iehoiara tohunga ki nga rangatira rau nga tao, nga pukupuku, me nga whakapuru tao a Kingi Rawiri; i roto hoki era i te whare o te Atua.
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.
I whakaturia ano e ia te iwi katoa, me a ratou patu i te ringa o tenei, o tenei, i te koki ki matau o te whare, tae noa ki te koki ki maui o te whare, ki nga taha o te aata, o te whare, hei karapoti mo te kingi.
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!”
Katahi ka whakaputaina e ratou te tama a te kingi, potaea iho ki a ia te karauna; a homai ana te whakaaturanga ki a ia, na whakakingitia ana ia e ratou; a na Iehoiara ratou ko ana tama ia i whakawahi, me ta ratou karanga, Kia ora te kingi.
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house.
A, no te rongonga o Ataria i te nge o te iwi e rere ana, e whakamoemiti ana ki te kingi, ka haere ia ki te iwi, ki te whare o Ihowa.
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 shofars. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”
A ka titiro ia, na ko te kingi e tu ana i te taha o tona pou i te tomokanga, ko nga rangatira ano me nga tetere i te taha o te kingi; a ko te iwi katoa o te whenua e koa ana, e whakatangi ana i nga tetere; ko nga kaiwaiata hoki e whakatangi ana i nga mea rangi waiata, e arahi ana i te waiata whakamoemiti. Katahi ka haehae a Ataria i ona kakahu, ka karanga, He he, he he, te whakatakotoria nei!
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 the LORD’s house.”
Na ka whakaputaina e Iehoiara tohunga nga rangatira rau, nga kaitohutohu ope ki waho, a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Mauria mai ia ki waenganui i nga rarangi; a ko te tangata e whai i muri i a ia, whakamatea ki te hoari; i mea hoki te tohunga, Kaua ia e whakamatea i roto i te whare o Ihowa.
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.
Heoi whakawateatia ana he haerenga mona; na ka tae ia ki te tomokanga o te kuwaha hoiho i te taha o te whare o te kingi, whakamatea iho ki reira.
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.
Na ka whakaritea e Iehoiara he kawenata, he mea nana, na te iwi katoa, ratou ko te kingi, kia meinga ratou hei iwi ma Ihowa.
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.
Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki te whare o Paara, wahia iho e ratou; mongamonga noa i a ratou ana aata, ona ahua; patua iho hoki e ratou a Matana tohunga o Paara ki mua i nga aata.
18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of the LORD’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in the LORD’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the Torah of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
I whakarite kaitirotiro ano a Iehoiara mo te whare o Ihowa, he mea wehea nei e Rawiri ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa hei whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana a Ihowa, ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia i roto i te ture a Mohi; me te koa ano ratou, me te waiata; ko ta Rawiri hoki ia i whakarite ai.
19 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the LORD’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
I whakaturia ano e ia he kaitiaki kuwaha mo nga kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa, kei haere ki roto te tangata e poke ana i tetahi mea.
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 the LORD’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
Na tikina ana e ia nga rangatira rau, nga tangata nunui, ratou ko nga kawana o te iwi, ko te iwi katoa ano hoki o te whenua, a mauria iho ana e ratou te kingi i te whare o Ihowa ki raro; na haere ana ratou na to runga kuwaha ki te whare o te kin gi, a whakanohoia ana te kingi ki te torona o te kingitanga.
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
Heoi koa tonu te iwi katoa o te whenua, a marire noa iho te pa: a patua ana e ratou a Ataria ki te hoari.
