2 Sarakuna 11

1 Da Ataliya mahaifiyar Ahaziya ta ga ɗanta ya mutu, sai ta shiga hallaka dukan iyalin gidan sarauta.

Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom put to death.

2 Amma Yehosheba,’yar Sarki Yoram,’yar’uwar Ahaziya, ta ɗauki Yowash ɗan Ahaziya daga cikin’ya’yan sarkin da ake shiri a kashe, ta ɓoye. Ta ɓoye shi daga Ataliya a wurin mai lura da shi a ɗakin kwana; don kada a kashe shi.

But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.

3 Ya kasance a ɓoye, shi da mai lura da shi, a haikalin Ubangiji shekara shida yayinda Ataliya take mulkin ƙasar.

And for six years she kept him safe in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah was ruling over the land.

4 A shekara ta bakwai sai Yehohiyada ya aika a kira komandodin sojoji ɗari-ɗari, da Keretawa, da matsara, ya sa aka kawo masa su a haikalin Ubangiji. Ya ƙulla yarjejjeniya da rantsuwa da su a haikalin Ubangiji, sa’an nan ya nuna musu ɗan sarki.

Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.

5 Ya umarce su cewa, “Ga abin da za ku yi sa’ad da kuka zo aiki a Asabbaci, ku raba kanku kashi uku. Kashi ɗaya za su yi gadin gidan sarki,

And he gave them orders, saying, This is what you are to do: the third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the king's house,

6 kashi ɗaya za su yi gadin Ƙofar Sur, kashi ɗaya kuma za su yi gadin ƙofar da take bayan’yan gadin fada. Dukan waɗannan ƙungiyoyi uku za su yi gadin fadan,

7 ku kuma da kuke a sauran ƙungiyoyi biyu da kun saba hutu a Asabbaci, duk za ku yi gadin haikali don sarki.

And the two divisions of you, who go out on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the house of the Lord,

8 Ku tsaya kewaye da sarki, kowane mutum da makaminsa a hannu. Duk wanda ya kusace ku, ku kashe shi. Ku manne wa sarki duk inda ya tafi.”

Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.

9 Komandodin sojoji suka yi yadda Yehohiyada firist ya umarta. Kowa ya ɗauki mutanensa, waɗanda za su kama aiki Asabbaci da waɗanda za su kama hutun Asabbaci, suka zo wurin Yehohiyada firist.

And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.

10 Sai ya ba komandodin māsu da garkuwoyi da dā suke na Dawuda, waɗanda suke a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.

And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's, and which were kept in the house of the Lord.

11 Matsaran kuma kowa da makaminsa a hannu, suka tsaya kewaye da sarki, kusa da bagade da kuma haikali, daga gefen kudu zuwa gefen arewa na haikalin.

Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house.

12 Sai Yehohiyada ya fito da ɗan sarki ya sa masa rawani a kā; ya ba shi shafin alkawari, ya kuma furta shi sarki. Suka shafe shi da mai, mutane kuma suka yi ta tafi suka ihu, suna cewa, “Ran sarki yă daɗe.”

Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.

13 Sa’ad da Ataliya ta ji surutun matsara da na mutane, sai ta tafi wurin mutanen a haikalin Ubangiji.

Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;

14 Da ta duba sai ga sarki, tsaye kusa da ginshiƙi, bisa ga al’ada. Hafsoshi da masu busa suna tsaye kusa da sarki, dukan mutanen ƙasar kuma suna farin ciki suna busa ƙahoni. Sai Ataliya ta keta tufafinta ta tā da murya tana cewa, “Kai! Wannan cin amana ne! Ai, wannan cin amana ne!”

And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!

15 Yehohiyada ya umarci komandodin sojoji waɗanda suke lura da mayaƙa, ya ce, “Ku fitar da ita daga cikinku, ku kuma kashe duk wanda ya bi ta.” Gama firist ɗin ya ce, “Kada a kashe ta a cikin haikalin Ubangiji.”

Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to those who were placed in authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword, for he said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.

16 Saboda haka suka kama ta yayinda ta kai inda dawakai sukan shiga filin fada, a can kuwa aka kashe ta.

So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the horses, and there she was put to death.

17 Sa’an nan Yehohiyada ya yi alkawari tsakanin Ubangiji da sarki da kuma mutane cewa za su zama mutanen Ubangiji. Ya kuma yi alkawari tsakanin sarki da mutane.

And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people; and in the same way between the king and the people.

18 Sai dukan mutanen ƙasar suka tafi haikalin Ba’al suka rushe shi. Suka farfasa bagadai da kuma gumaka, suka kuma kashe Mattan wanda yake firist na Ba’al a gaban bagade. Sa’an nan Yehohiyada firist ya sa matsara a haikalin Ubangiji.

Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.

19 Ya tafi tare da komandodin sojoji, Keretawa, matsara da kuma dukan mutanen ƙasar, tare kuwa suka kawo sarki daga haikalin Ubangiji zuwa cikin fada, ta ƙofar matsara. Sarki kuwa ya ɗauki mazauninsa a bisa kursiyin sarauta,

Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.

20 dukan mutanen ƙasar suka yi murna. Birnin ya sami salama don an kashe Ataliya da takobi a fada.

So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.

21 Yowash yana da shekara bakwai sa’ad da ya fara mulki.

And Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.
