2 Chronicles 23
1 Forsothe in the seuenthe yeer Joiada was coumfortid, and took centuriouns, that is, Azarie, sone of Jeroboam, and Ismael, the sone of Johannam, and Azarie, the sone of Obeth, and Maasie, the sone of Adaie, and Elisaphat, the sone of Zechri; and he made with hem a counsel and a boond of pees.
Katika mwaka wa saba, Yehoyada akaonyesha nguvu zake. Alifanya agano na wakuu wa vikosi vya mamia: yaani Azaria mwana wa Yerohamu, Ishmaeli mwana wa Yehohanani, Azaria mwana wa Obedi, Maaseya mwana wa Adaya, na Elishafati mwana wa Zikri.
2 Which cumpassiden Juda, and gaderiden togidere dekenes of alle the citees of Juda, and the princes of the meynees of Israel, and camen in to Jerusalem.
Wakazunguka katika Yuda yote na kukusanya Walawi na viongozi wa jamaa za Israeli kutoka miji yote. Walipofika Yerusalemu,
3 Therfor al the multitude made couenaunt in the hows of the Lord with the kyng. And Joiada seide to hem, Lo! the sone of the kyng schal regne, as the Lord spak on the sones of Dauid.
kusanyiko lote likafanya agano na mfalme katika Hekalu la Mungu. Yehoyada akawaambia, “Mwana wa mfalme atatawala, kama Bwana alivyoahidi kuhusu wazao wa Daudi.
4 Therfor this is the word, which ye schulen do.
Basi hivi ndivyo iwapasavyo kufanya: Theluthi yenu makuhani na Walawi ambao mnaingia zamu siku ya Sabato mtalinda milangoni,
5 The thridde part of you that ben comun to the sabat, of preestis, and of dekenes, and of porterys, schal be in the yatis; sotheli the thridde part schal be at the hows of the kyng; and the thridde part schal be at the yate, which is clepid of the foundement. Forsothe al the tother comyn puple be in the large places of the hows of the Lord;
theluthi yenu mtalinda jumba la kifalme, na theluthi nyingine mtalinda Lango la Msingi. Walinzi wengine wote mwe ndani ya nyua za Hekalu la Bwana.
6 and noon other man entre in to the hows of the Lord, no but preestis, and thei that mynystren of the dekenes; oneli entre thei, that ben halewid, and al the tother comyn puple kepe the kepyngis of the Lord.
Hakuna mtu yeyote ataingia katika Hekalu la Bwana isipokuwa makuhani na Walawi walioko kwenye zamu. Wao wanaweza kuingia kwa sababu ni watakatifu, lakini watu wengine wote itawapasa kulinda kile walichoamriwa na Bwana.
7 Forsothe the dekenes cumpasse the kyng, and ech man haue hise armuris; and if ony othere man entrith in to the temple, be he slayn; and be thei with the kyng entrynge and goynge out.
Walawi watajipanga kumzunguka mfalme, kila mtu akiwa na silaha zake mkononi. Mtu mwingine yeyote aingiaye Hekaluni lazima auawe. Kaeni karibu na mfalme popote aendapo.”
8 Therfor the dekenes and al Juda diden bi alle thingis, which Joiada, the bischop, hadde comaundid; and alle token the men, that weren with hem, and camen bi the ordre of sabat with hem, that hadden `fillid now the sabat, and schulen go out.
Walawi na watu wote wa Yuda wakafanya kama vile kuhani Yehoyada aliagiza. Kila mmoja akawachukua watu wake, wale waliokuwa wakiingia zamu siku ya Sabato na wale waliokuwa wakienda mapumziko, kwa sababu kuhani Yehoyada hakuruhusu kikosi chochote kiondoke.
9 For Joiada, the bischop, suffride not the cumpenyes to go awei, that weren wont to come oon after `the tother bi ech wouke. And Joiada, the preest, yaf to the centuriouns speris, and scheeldis, and bokeleris of kyng Dauid, whiche he hadde halewid in to the hows of the Lord.
Kisha akawapa wakuu wa vikosi vya mamia mikuki na ngao kubwa na ndogo zilizokuwa za Mfalme Daudi, zilizokuwa ndani ya Hekalu la Mungu.
10 And he ordeynede al the puple, of hem `that helden swerdis, at the riyt side of the temple `til to the left side of the temple, bifor the auter and the temple, bi cumpas of the king.
Akawapanga walinzi wote kumzunguka mfalme, kila mmoja akiwa na silaha yake mkononi mwake, karibu na madhabahu na Hekalu, kuanzia upande wa kusini hadi upande wa kaskazini mwa Hekalu.
11 And thei ledden out the sone of the kyng, and settiden a diademe on hym; and thei yauen to hym in his hond the lawe to be holdun, and thei maden hym kyng. And Joiada, the bischop, and his sones anoyntiden hym; and thei preiden hertli, and seiden, The kyng lyue!
Yehoyada na wanawe wakamtoa Yoashi mwana wa mfalme nje na kumvika taji. Wakampa nakala ya agano na kumtangaza kuwa mfalme. Wakamtia mafuta na kupaza sauti, wakisema, “Mfalme aishi maisha marefu!”
12 And whanne Athalia hadde herd this thing, that is, the vois of men rennynge and preisynge the kyng, sche entride to the puple, in to the temple of the Lord.
Athalia aliposikia kelele za watu wakikimbia na kumsifu mfalme, akawaendea watu katika Hekalu la Bwana.
13 And whanne sche hadde seyn the kyng stondynge on the grees in the entryng, and the princes and cumpenyes of knyytis aboute hym, and al the puple of the lond ioiynge, and sownynge with trumpis, and syngynge togidere with orguns of dyuerse kynde, and the vois of men preisynge, sche to-rente hir clothis, and seide, Tresouns! tresouns!
Athalia akaangalia, tazama alikuwepo mfalme akiwa amesimama karibu na nguzo yake kwenye ingilio. Maafisa na wapiga tarumbeta walikuwa kando ya mfalme, nao watu wote wa nchi walikuwa wanashangilia na kupiga tarumbeta na waimbaji wakiwa na vyombo vya uimbaji, walikuwa wakiongoza nyimbo za sifa. Ndipo Athalia akararua mavazi yake na kupiga kelele, akisema, “Uhaini! Uhaini!”
14 Sotheli Joiada, the bischop, yede out to the centuriouns, and princes of the oost, and seide to hem, Lede ye hir with out the `purseyntis, ethir closyngis, of the temple, and be sche slayn with outforth bi swerd; and the preest comaundide, that sche schulde not be slayn in the hows of the Lord.
Kuhani Yehoyada akawatuma majemadari wa vikosi vya mamia, waliokuwa viongozi wa jeshi, na kuwaambia: “Mleteni nje kati ya safu, na mkamuue kwa upanga yeyote anayemfuata.” Kwa kuwa kuhani alikuwa amesema, “Msimuulie ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana.”
15 And thei settiden hondis on hir nol; and whanne she hadde entrid in to the yate of the horsis, of the kyngis hows, thei killiden hir there.
Kwa hiyo wakamkamata alipofika kwenye ingilio la Lango la Farasi katika viwanja vya jumba la mfalme wakamuulia hapo.
16 Forsothe Joiada couenauntide a boond of pees bitwixe him silf and al the puple and the kyng, that it schulde be the puple of the Lord.
Kisha Yehoyada akafanya agano kwamba yeye na watu wote na mfalme watakuwa watu wa Bwana.
17 Therfor al the puple entride in to the hows of Baal, and distrieden it, and braken the auteris and symylacris therof; but thei killiden bifor the auteris Mathan, the preest of Baal.
Kisha watu wote wakaenda kwenye hekalu la Baali na kulibomoa. Wakavunjavunja madhabahu pamoja na sanamu na kumuua Matani kuhani wa Baali mbele ya hayo madhabahu.
18 Forsothe Joiada ordeynede souereyns in the hows of the Lord, that vndur the hondis of preestis, and of dekenes, whiche Dauid departide in the hows of the Lord, thei schulden offre brent sacrifices to the Lord, as it is writun in the book of Moises, in ioie and songis, by the ordynaunce of Dauid.
Kisha Yehoyada akaweka uangalizi wa Hekalu la Bwana mikononi mwa makuhani, waliokuwa Walawi, ambao Mfalme Daudi alikuwa amewagawa ili wahudumu hekaluni kwa ajili ya kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa za Bwana kama ilivyoandikwa katika Sheria ya Mose, kwa kushangilia na kuimba kama Daudi alivyokuwa ameagiza.
19 Also he ordeynede porteris in the yatis of the hows of the Lord, that an vnclene man in ony thing schulde not entre in to it.
Pia akawaweka mabawabu kwenye malango ya Hekalu la Bwana ili kwamba kwa vyovyote asije akaingia mtu yeyote aliye najisi.
20 And he took the centuriouns, and strongeste men, and princes of the puple, and al the comyn puple of the lond. And thei maden the kyng to go doun fro the hows of the Lord, and to entre bi the myddis of the hiyere yate in to the hows of the kyng; and thei settiden hym in the kyngis trone.
Akawachukua majemadari wa mamia, watu waheshimiwa, viongozi wa watu pamoja na watu wote wa nchi na kumteremsha mfalme kutoka Hekalu la Bwana. Wakaingia kwenye jumba la mfalme kupitia Lango la Juu na kumkalisha mfalme kwenye kiti cha enzi,
21 And al the puple of the lond was glad, and the citee restide; forsothe Athalia was slayn bi swerd.
nao watu wote wa nchi wakafurahi. Mji ukatulia kwa sababu Athalia alikuwa ameuawa kwa upanga.
