2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the seventh year hath Jehoiada strengthened himself, and taketh the heads of the hundreds, even Azariah son of Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, with him into covenant.
Mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri Yehoyada anaonetsa mphamvu zake. Iye anachita pangano ndi olamulira magulu a anthu 100: Azariya mwana wa Yerohamu, Ismaeli mwana wa Yehohanani, Azariya mwana wa Obedi, Maaseya mwana wa Adaya ndi Elisafati mwana wa Zikiri.
2 And they go round about in Judah, and gather the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of Israel, and come in unto Jerusalem,
Iwo anayendayenda mʼdziko la Yuda ndipo anasonkhanitsa Alevi ndi atsogoleri a mabanja a Aisraeli ochokera mʼmizinda yonse. Atabwera ku Yerusalemu,
3 and all the assembly make a covenant in the house of God with the king, and he saith to them, 'Lo, the son of the king doth reign, as Jehovah spake concerning the sons of David.
msonkhano wonse unachita pangano ndi mfumu mu Nyumba ya Mulungu. Yehoyada anawawuza kuti, “Mwana wa mfumu adzalamulira monga ananenera Yehova zokhudza ana a Davide.
4 'This [is] the thing that ye do: The third of you, going in on the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [are] for gatekeepers of the thresholds,
Tsopano zimene muti muchite ndi izi: Limodzi mwa magawo atatu a ansembe ndi Alevi amene mudzakhale pa ntchito pa Sabata muzikalondera pa khomo,
5 and the third [are] at the house of the king, and the third at the gate of the foundation, and all the people [are] in the courts of the house of Jehovah.
ndi limodzi la magawo atatu likakhale ku nyumba yaufumu ndipo limodzi la magawo atatu likakhale ku chipata cha Maziko ndipo anthu ena onse akakhale mʼmabwalo a Nyumba ya Yehova.
6 'And none doth enter the house of Jehovah except the priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for they [are] holy), and all the people keep the watch of Jehovah:
Musalole aliyense kulowa mʼNyumba ya Yehova kupatula ansembe ndi Alevi amene akutumikira. Iwo atha kutero chifukwa apatulidwa koma anthu ena onse ayenera kumvera zimene Yehova walamula.
7 and the Levites have compassed the king round about, each with his weapon in his hand, and he who hath gone in unto the house is put to death; and be ye with the king in his coming in and in his going out.'
Alevi akhale mozungulira mfumu, munthu aliyense ali ndi chida chake mʼmanja. Aliyense amene alowe mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ayenera kuphedwa. Mukhale nayo pafupi mfumu kulikonse kumene izipita.”
8 And the Levites and all Judah do according to all that Jehoiada the priest hath commanded, and take each his men going in on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest hath not let away the courses.
Alevi ndi anthu onse a ku Yuda anachita monga momwe wansembe Yehoyada anawalamulira. Aliyense anatenga anthu ake amene ankagwira ntchito pa Sabata ndi amene amapita kukapuma, pakuti wansembe Yehoyada sanalole gulu lililonse kuti lipite.
9 And Jehoiada the priest giveth to the heads of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that [are] king David's, that [are] in the house of God;
Ndipo Yehoyada anapereka kwa atsogoleri a magulu a anthu 100 mikondo ndi zishango zazikulu ndi zazingʼono zimene zinali za Davide ndipo zinali mʼNyumba ya Mulungu.
10 and he stationeth the whole of the people, and each his dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house unto the left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by the king, round about.
Iye anayika anthu onse, aliyense ali ndi chida mʼdzanja lake mozungulira mfumu pafupi ndi guwa ndi Nyumba ya Mulungu, kuyambira mbali ya kummwera mpaka kumpoto kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu.
11 And they bring out the son of the king, and put upon him the crown, and the testimony, and cause him to reign; and Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, 'Let the king live!'
Yehoyada ndi ana ake anatulutsa mwana wa mfumu ndipo anamumveka chipewa chaufumu ndipo anamupatsa Buku la Chipangano namulonga ufumu. Yehoyada ndi ana ake anamudzoza ndipo anafuwula kuti, “Ikhale ndi moyo wautali mfumu!”
12 And Athaliah heareth the voice of the people who are running, and who are praising the king, and she cometh in unto the people in the house of Jehovah,
Ataliya atamva phokoso la anthu akuthamanga ndi kukondwerera mfumu, anapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova komwe kunali anthuko.
13 and seeth, and lo, the king is standing by his pillar in the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah rendeth her garments, and saith, 'Conspiracy, conspiracy.'
Iye anayangʼana, ndipo anaona mfumu itayima pa chipilala chake chapakhomo. Atsogoleri ndi oyimba malipenga anali pafupi ndi mfumuyo, ndipo anthu onse a mʼderali amakondwerera ndi kuyimba malipenga ndiponso oyimba ndi zida amatsogolera matamando. Pamenepo Ataliya anangʼamba mkanjo wake ndipo anafuwula kuti, “Kuwukira! Kuwukira!”
14 And Jehoiada the priest bringeth out the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and saith unto them, 'Take her out from within the rows, and he who hath gone after her is put to death by the sword;' for the priest said, 'Put her not to death [in] the house of Jehovah.'
Wansembe Yehoyada anatumiza olamulira magulu a anthu 100 aja, amene amayangʼanira asilikali ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Mutulutseni ameneyu pakati pa mizere yanu ndipo muphe aliyense amene adzamutsata.” Pakuti ansembe anati, “Musamuphere mʼNyumba ya Mulungu wa Yehova,”
15 And they make for her sides, and she cometh in unto the entrance of the gate of the horses at the house of the king, and they put her to death there.
choncho anamugwira pamene amafika pa chipata cha Kavalo pa bwalo la nyumba yaufumu, ndipo anamuphera pamenepo.
16 And Jehoiada maketh a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to Jehovah;
Tsono Yehoyada anachita pangano, iye mwini ndi anthu onse ndiponso mfumu kuti adzakhala anthu a Yehova.
17 and all the people enter the house of Baal, and break it down, yea, his altars and his images they have broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars.
Anthu onse anapita ku kachisi wa Baala ndipo anamugwetsa. Iwo anaphwanya maguwa ndi mafano ndi kupha Matani wansembe wa Baala patsogolo pa maguwawo.
18 And Jehoiada putteth the offices of the house of Jehovah into the hand of the priests the Levites whom David had apportioned over the house of Jehovah, to cause to ascend the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as written in the law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands of David;
Kenaka Yehoyada anayika ansembe, omwe anali Alevi kukhala oyangʼanira Nyumba ya Yehova, amene Davide anawapatsa ntchito yoti azipereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, monga zinalembedwa mʼmalamulo a Mose kuti azitero akukondwera ndi kuyimba monga Davide analamulira.
19 and he stationeth the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of Jehovah, and the unclean in anything doth not go in.
Ndipo anayika alonda a pa khomo pa zipata za Nyumba ya Yehova kuti aliyense amene ndi odetsedwa asalowe.
20 And he taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the honourable ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and bringeth down the king from the house of Jehovah, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom.
Iye anatenga olamulira magulu a anthu 100, anthu otchuka, olamulira anthu ndi anthu onse a mʼderalo ndipo anabweretsa mfumu kuchokera ku Nyumba ya Mulungu. Iwo anapita ku nyumba yaufumu kudzera ku Chipata Chakumitu ndipo anayikira mfumu mpando wolemekezeka,
21 And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city hath been quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword.
ndipo anthu onse a mʼderali anakondwera. Tsono mu mzinda munali bata chifukwa Ataliya anaphedwa ndi lupanga.
