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 sa saba, Yehoyada alionesha nguvu zake na akaingia katika agano na maakida wa mamia, 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.
Wakaenda katika Yuda na kuwakusanya Walawi kutoka miji yote ya Yuda, vile vile na wakuu wa nyumba za mababu wa Israeli, na wakaja hadi 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 wakafanya aganao na mfalme katika nyumba ya Mungu. Yehoyada akawaambia, “Ona, mwana wa mfalme atatawala, kama Yahwe alivyosema kuhusu uzao wa Daudi.
4 Therfor this is the word, which ye schulen do.
Hivi ndivyo mtakavyo fanya: theluthi yenu makuhani na Walawi ambao huja kuhudumu siku ya Sabato, mtakuwa walinzi katika milango.
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 nyingine mtakuwa katika nyumba ya mfalme, na theluthi nyingine mtakuwa katika Msingi wa Lango. Watu wote watakuwa katika uwanja wa nyumba ya Yahwe.
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.
Msimruhusu yeyote kuingia kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, isipokuwa makuhani na Walawi wanaoatumika. Wao wanaweza kuingia kwa sababu inawahusu.
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.
Lakini watu wengine wote lazima mtii amri ya Yahwe. Walawi lazima wamzunguke mfalme pande zote, kila mtu na silaha zake mkononi mwake. Yeyote atakayeingia katika nyumba, atauawa. Kaeni na mfalme aingiapo ndani na atokapo nje.”
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.
Kwa hiyo Walawi na Yuda wote walitumika kwa kila njia kama katika namna ambayo Yehoyada kuhani aliwaamuru. Kila mmoja alichukua watu wake, wale waliotakiwa kuja ndani kuhudumu katika Sabato, na wale watakaoondoka siku ya Sabato, kwa maana
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.
Yehoyada, kuhani, hakuwa amezuilia mojawapo ya zamu zao. Kisha Yeliyadaya, kuhani, akaleta kwa maakida mikuki na ngao ndogo na kubwa zilizokuwa za mfalme Daudi ambazo zilikuwa katika nyumba ya 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.
Yehoyada akawaleta wanajeshi wote, kila mtu na mkuki wake katika mkono wake, upande wa kulia wa hekalu hadi upande wa kushoto wa hekalu, pembeni mwa madhabahu na hekalu, wakimzunguka mfalme.
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!
Kisha wakamleta nje mwana wa mfalme, wakaiweka taji juu yake, na kumpa agano la sheria. Kisha wakamfanya mfalme, na Yehoyda na wanaye wakampaka mafuta. Kisha wakasema, “Aishi maisha marefu mfalme.”
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 kele za watu wakikimbia na kumsifu mfalme, akatoka ili awaone watu katika nyumba ya Yahwe.
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!
na akaangalia, na, tazama, mfamle alikuwa amesimama karibu na nguzo yake katika lango la, kuingilia na maakida na wapuliza tarumbeta walikuwa karibu na mfame. Watu wote wa nchi walikuwa wakifurahia na kupuliza tarumbeta na waimbaji walikuwa wakipiga vyombo vya muziki na kuongoza nyimbo za kusifu. Kisha Athalia akayararua mavazi yake na kupiga kelele. “Fitina! Fitina!”
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.
Kisha Yehoyada, kuhani, akawaleta nje maakida wa mamia waliokuwa juu ya jeshi na kusema, “Mleteni nje kati ya safu, yeyote atakayemfuata, auwawe kwa upanga.” kwa maana kuhani alikwishasema, “Msimuue katika nyumba ya Yahwe.”
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 wakafanya njia kw ajili yake, na akaenda kwenye nyumba ya mfalme kupita njia ya Lango la Farasi, na huko wakamuuwa.
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 alifanya agano kati yake mwenyewe, watu wote, na mfalme, kwamba watakuwa watu wa Yahwe.
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.
Kwa hiyo watu wote wakaenda kwenye nyumba ya Baali na kuiangusha chini. wakazivunja vipande vipande madhabahu za Baali na sanamu zake, na wakamuua Matani, kuhani wa Baali, mbele ya madhabahu hizo.
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.
Yehoyada akateua wakuu kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Yahwe chini ya mkono wa makuhani, ambao walikuwa Walawi, ambao Daudi alikuwa amewapanga kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, ili wamtolee Yahwe sadaka za kuteketezwa, kama ilivyoandikwa katika sheria ya Musa, pamoja na kushangilia na kuimba, kama alivyotoa maelekezo Daudi.
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.
Yehoyada akaweka walinzi katika malango ya nyumba ya Yahwe, ili kwamba kwa namna yoyote ile asiingie mtu asiyesafi.
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.
Yehoyada akachukua pamoja naye maakida wa mamia, watu wakubwa, watawala wa watu, na watu wote wa nchi. Akamleta chini mfalme kutoka kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe; watu wakaja kwenye nyumba ya mfalme kupitia Lango la juu na kumkalisha mfalme juu ya kiti cha enzi cha ufalme. (Baadhi ya maandiko ya ya kisasa yanasema, “wakamshusha chini mfalme”)
21 And al the puple of the lond was glad, and the citee restide; forsothe Athalia was slayn bi swerd.
Kwa hiyo watu wote wa nchi wakafurahia, na mji wote ulikuwa kimya. Kuhusu Asa walikuwa wamemuua kwa upanga.
