< 2 Sarakuna 11 >

1 Da Ataliya mahaifiyar Ahaziya ta ga ɗanta ya mutu, sai ta shiga hallaka dukan iyalin gidan sarauta.
Now, when, Athaliah, mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
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 daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were being slain—him and his nurse, into the bedchamber, —so she hid him from the face of Athaliah, that he was not slain.
3 Ya kasance a ɓoye, shi da mai lura da shi, a haikalin Ubangiji shekara shida yayinda Ataliya take mulkin ƙasar.
And he was with her, in the house of Yahweh, hiding himself, six years, —while, Athaliah, was reigning 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.
But, in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent and took the captains over hundreds, of the Carian body-guard, and of the runners, and brought them unto him, in the house of Yahweh, —and, when he had solemnised a Covenant with them, and put them on oath, in the house of Yahweh, then shewed he them 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 commanded them, saying—This, is the thing which ye must do, —A third part of you, will be coming in on the sabbath, and keeping the watch of the house of the king;
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,
and, a third, in the side-gate; and, a third, in the gate behind the runners, —so shall ye keep the watch of the house, by turns.
7 ku kuma da kuke a sauran ƙungiyoyi biyu da kun saba hutu a Asabbaci, duk za ku yi gadin haikali don sarki.
And, two parts of you, are all that are going out on the sabbath, —so shall ye keep the watch of the house of Yahweh, as touching the king.
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.”
Thus shall ye encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand, and, he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain, —so be ye with the king, when he cometh out and when he goeth 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 according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and they took every man his men who were coming in on the sabbath, with them who were going out on the sabbath, —and came unto 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 unto the captains of hundreds the spears and the shields which belonged to King David, —which were in the house of Yahweh.
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.
And the runners stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right corner of the house, as far as the left corner of the house, by the altar and the house, —near the king, round about.
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 brought he forth the king’s son, and set upon him the crown, and the testimony, and they made him king, and anointed him, —and clapped their hands, and said—May the king live!
13 Sa’ad da Ataliya ta ji surutun matsara da na mutane, sai ta tafi wurin mutanen a haikalin Ubangiji.
And, when Athaliah heard the noise of the runners, the people, then came she in unto the people, in the house of Yahweh,
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 looked, and lo! the king, standing by the pillar, as the custom was, and the captains and the trumpeters, by the king, and, all the people of the land, rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, —so Athaliah rent her garments, and cried out—Conspiracy! conspiracy!
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.”
And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds—officers of the force, and said unto them—Take her forth into the inside of the ranks, and, he that cometh in after her, [ye are] to slay with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain, in the house of Yahweh.
16 Saboda haka suka kama ta yayinda ta kai inda dawakai sukan shiga filin fada, a can kuwa aka kashe ta.
So they made way for her, and she entered the road by which the horses approached the house of the king, and was slain there.
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 solemnised a covenant between Yahweh, and the king, and the people, that they should become a people unto Yahweh, —also 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.
And all the people of the land entered the house of Baal, and brake it down, his altars and his images, brake they in pieces, utterly, and, Mattan the priest of Baal, they slew before the altars, —and the priest appointed officers over the house of Yahweh.
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,
And he took the captains of hundreds and the Carian bodyguard, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king out of the house of Yahweh, and they came, by way of the gate of the runners, into the house of the king, —and he took his seat on the throne of the kings;
20 dukan mutanen ƙasar suka yi murna. Birnin ya sami salama don an kashe Ataliya da takobi a fada.
and all the people of the land rejoiced, and, the city, had rest, —when they had put, Athaliah, to death with the sword, in the house of the king.
21 Yowash yana da shekara bakwai sa’ad da ya fara mulki.
Seven years old, was Jehoash, when he began to reign.
