1 A shekara ta bakwai Yehohiyada ya nuna ƙarfinsa. Ya yi alkawari da shugabanni na ɗari-ɗari, Azariya ɗan Yeroham, Ishmayel ɗan Yehohanan, Azariya ɗan Obed, Ma’asehiya ɗan Adahiya, da Elishafat ɗan Zikri.

And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of the hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

2 Suka ratsa cikin Yahuda suka tattara Lawiyawa da shugabannin iyalan Isra’ilawa daga dukan garuruwa. Sa’ad da suka zo Urushalima,

And they went about in Judah and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief fathers of Israel; and they came to Jerusalem.

3 dukan taron suka yi alkawari da sarki a haikalin Allah. Yehohiyada ya ce musu, “Ɗan sarki zai yi mulki yadda Ubangiji ya yi alkawari game da zuriyar Dawuda.

And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah has said of the sons of David.

4 Yanzu ga abin da za ku yi, shi ne, kashi ɗaya bisa uku na firistoci da Lawiyawa waɗanda za su yi aiki a Asabbaci su yi tsaro a ƙofofi,

This is the thing which ye shall do: a third part of you that come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be keepers of the doors;

5 kashi ɗaya bisa ukunku a fadan sarki, kashi ɗaya bisa uku kuma, a Ƙofar Harsashi, sai kuma dukan sauran mutane su kasance a filayen haikalin Ubangiji.

and a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of Jehovah.

6 Babu wanda zai shiga haikalin Ubangiji sai firistoci da Lawiyawan da suke a aiki; za su iya shiga domin su tsarkaku ne, amma sauran mutane za su kiyaye abin da Ubangiji ya sa su yi.

But let none come into the house of Jehovah except the priests and those of the Levites that do the service; they shall go in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the watch of Jehovah.

7 Lawiyawa za su tsaya kewaye da sarki, kowane mutum da makamansa a hannunsa. Duk wanda ya shiga haikali sai a kashe shi. Ku tsaya kusa da sarki a duk inda ya tafi.”

And the Levites shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that comes into the house shall be put to death; and ye shall be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.

8 Lawiyawa da dukan mutanen Yahuda suka yi yadda Yehohiyada firist ya umarta. Kowanne ya ɗauki mutanensa, waɗanda suke aiki a Asabbaci da waɗanda suka gama aiki, gama Yehohiyada firist bai bar waɗansu ɓangarori ba.

And the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go forth on the sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest did not liberate the divisions.

9 Sa’an nan ya ba shugabannin māsu da garkuwoyi manya da ƙanana na sarki Dawuda, waɗanda suke cikin haikalin Allah.

And Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of the hundreds king David's spears and shields and targets, which were in the house of God.

10 Ya kuma sa dukan mutane, kowanne da makaminsa a hannunsa, kewaye da sarki, kusa da bagade da kuma haikali, daga gefen kudu zuwa gefen arewa na haikali.

And he set all the people, every man with his javelin in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, toward the altar and the house, by the king round about.

11 Yehohiyada da’ya’yansa maza suka fitar da ɗan sarki suka sa rawani a kansa; suka miƙa masa alkawarin, suka kuma yi shelarsa a matsayin sarki. Suka shafe shi suka kuma tā da murya suna cewa, “Ran sarki yă daɗe!”

And they brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, Long live the king!

12 Sa’ad da Ataliya ta ji surutun mutane suna gudu suna yabon sarki, sai ta tafi wurinsu a haikalin Ubangiji.

And Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, and she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.

13 Ta duba, a can kuwa ga sarki, tsaye kusa da ginshiƙinsa a mashigi. Manyan sojoji da masu bushe-bushe suna kusa da sarki, dukan mutanen ƙasar kuwa suna farin ciki suna busa ƙahoni, mawaƙa kuma da kayan kiɗi suna bi da yabo. Sai Ataliya ta yage rigunanta ta yi ihu tana cewa, “Cin amanar ƙasa! Cin amanar ƙasa!”

And she looked, and behold, the king stood on his dais at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets were by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets; and the singers [were there] with the instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. And Athaliah rent her garments, and said, Conspiracy! Conspiracy!

14 Yehohiyada firist ya fito da shugabanni waɗanda suke shugabancin rundunar sojoji, ya ce musu, “Ku fitar da ita tsakanin sojoji ku kuma kashe duk wanda ya bi ta da takobi.” Gama firist ya ce, “Kada ku kashe ta a haikalin Ubangiji.”

And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of the hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Lead her forth without the ranks; and whosoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword; for the priest said, Ye shall not put her to death in the house of Jehovah.

15 Saboda haka suka kama ta yayinda take kaiwa mashigin Ƙofar Doki a filin fada, a can suka kashe ta.

And they made way for her, and she went through the entrance of the horse-gate into the king's house, and they put her to death there.

16 Sa’an nan Yehohiyada ya yi alkawari cewa shi da mutane da kuma sarki za su zama mutanen Ubangiji.

And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they should be the people of Jehovah.

17 Dukan mutane suka tafi haikalin Ba’al suka rurrushe shi. Suka farfashe bagadan da gumakan, suka kuma kashe Mattan firist na Ba’al a gaban bagadan.

And all the people went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; and they broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

18 Sa’an nan Yehohiyada ya sa aikin lura da haikalin Ubangiji a hannuwan firistoci, waɗanda suke Lawiyawan da Dawuda ya ba su aikin haikali don su miƙa hadayun ƙonawa na Ubangiji kamar yadda yake a rubuce a Dokar Musa, da farin ciki da kuma rerawa, kamar yadda Dawuda ya umarta.

And Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had set by classes over the house of Jehovah to offer up Jehovah's burnt-offerings, as it is written in the law of Moses, — with rejoicing and with singing according to the directions of David.

19 Ya kuma sa matsaran ƙofofi a ƙofofin haikalin Ubangiji don kada wani da ba shi da tsarki yă shiga.

And he set the doorkeepers at the gates of the house of Jehovah, that no one unclean in anything should enter in.

20 Ya ɗauki shugabannin ɗari-ɗari, manyan gari, shugabannin mutane da dukan mutanen ƙasar tare da shi ya saukar da sarki daga haikalin Ubangiji. Suka shiga fada ta Ƙofar Bisa suka kuma zaunar da sarki a kujerar sarauta,

And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Jehovah; and they came through the upper gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.

21 sai dukan mutanen ƙasar suka yi farin ciki. Birnin kuwa ya samu zaman lafiya domin an kashe Ataliya da takobi.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
