< II Oihanaalii 23 >

1 A I ka hiku o ka makahiki hooikaika iho la o Iehoiada, a lawe pu ae la me ia ma ka berita i na luna haneri, ia Azaria ke keiki a Iehorama, a me Isemaela ke keiki a Iehohanana, a me Azaria ke keiki a Obeda, a me Maaseia ke keiki a Adaia, a me Elisapata ke keiki a Zikeri.
In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him.
2 A kaahele ae la lakou ma Iuda a hoakoakoa lakou i na Levi mailoko mai o na kulanakauhale a pau o luda, a me ka poe koikoi o na makua o ka Iseraela, a hele mai la lakou i Ierusalema.
They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 A hana na kanaka a pau i berita me ke alii iloko o ka hale o ke Akua. Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, aia hoi, e noho alii auanei ke keiki a ke alii e like me ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai no na keiki a Davida.
All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.
4 Eia ka mea a oukou e hana'i: O kekahi hapakolu o oukou e komo ana i ka la Sabati, o ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi, o lilo lakou i poe kiai puka.
This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
5 A e noho kekahi hapakolu o oukou iloko o ka hale o ke alii; o kekahi hapakolu hoi o oukou ma ka puka o ke kahua; a o na kanaka a pau loa iloko o ka lanai o ka hale o Iehova.
A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house.
6 Mai komo kekahi o oukou iloko o ka hale o Iehova, ka poe kahuna wale no a me na Levi e lawelawe ana; e komo lakou, no ka mea, ua hoolaaia lakou; aka, o na kanaka a pau e kiai lakou ma kahi a Iehova i kauoha mai ai.
But let no one come into the LORD’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD’s instructions.
7 A e ku na Levi a puni ke alii, kela kanaka keia kanaka me kona mea kaua iloko o kona lima; a o ka mea e komo e make oia; aka, o oukou, me ke alii o oukou i kona komo ana iloko a i kona puka ana iwaho.
The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
8 A hana iho la na Levi, a me ka Iuda a pau loa e like me na mea a pau a Iehoiada ke kahuna i kauoha mai ai; a lawe lakou kela mea keia mea i kona poe kanaka i ka poe i komo mai i ka la Sabati, a me ka poe i hele iwaho i ka la Sabati, no ka mea, aole hookuu o Iehoiada ke kahuna i na papa.
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.
9 Haawi aku la hoi o Iehoiada ke kahuna na na luna haneri i na ihe, a me na aahuapoo, a me na palekaua, na mea a Davida ke alii, na mea hoi iloko o ka hale o ke Akua.
Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
10 A hoonoho oia i na kanaka a pau loa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka me kana mea kaua ma kona lima, mai ka aoao akau o ka hale a hiki i ka aoao hema o ka hale, ma kahi kokoke i ke kuahu a me ka hale a puni ke alii.
He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.
11 A alakai mai la lakou iwaho i ke keiki a ke alii, a haawi aku ia ia i ka papale alii a me ke kanawai, a hooalii iho la ia ia; a poni aku la o Iehoiada, a me kana poe keiki ia ia, a olelo aku la lakou, E ola ke alii.
Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
12 A lohe o Atalia i ka halulu o kanaka e mokuawai ana, a e hoomaikai ana i ke alii, hele mai la oia i na kanaka iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house.
13 A ike ae la oia, aia hoi, ke alii e ku ana ma kona wahi ma kahi e komo ai, a, me ke alii na luna a me ka poe hookani, a me na kanaka a pau o ka aina e olioli ana, a e hookani ana i na pu, a me ka poe mele, me ka lakou mau mea kani, a me ka poe e ao ana e hoolea aku; haehae iho la o Atalia i kona kapa, olelo aku la, He kipi e, he kipi e!
Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew shofars. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”
14 A o Iehoiada ke kahuna, alakai ae la ia iwaho i na luna o na haneri, a me ka poe luna koa, olelo aku ia lakou, E hoopuka aku ia ia iwaho o na keena o ka hale; a o ka mea e puka iwaho mamuli ona e make ia i ka pahikaua: no ka mea, olelo iho la ke kahuna, Mai pepehi ia ia ma ka hale o Iehova.
Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the LORD’s house.”
15 Kau aku la lakou i ko lakou mau lima maluna ona; a hiki ia i kahi e komo ai iloko o ka puka lio ma ka hale o ke alii, pepehi lakou ia ia malaila.
So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
16 A hana o Iehoiada i berita mawaena ona, a mawaena o na kanaka a pau, a mawaena o ke alii, i lilo lakou i poe kanaka no Iehova.
Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.
17 Alaila, hele ae la na kanaka a pau i ka hale o Baala, a wawahi iho la ia mea, a me kona kuahu, a kuipalu no hoi lakou i na kii, a pepehi lakou ia Matana ke kahuna no Baala imua o na kuahu.
All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Alaila, hoonoho o Iehoiada i na kiai ma ka hale o Iehova, ma ka lima o ka poe kahuna, ka Levi, ka poe a Davida i mahele aku ai no ka hale o Iehova, e mohai aku i na mohai o Iehova e like me ka mea i kakauia iloko o ke kanawai o Mose, me ka olioli ana, a me ke mele, ma ka lima o Davida.
Jehoiada appointed the officers of the LORD’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in the LORD’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the Torah of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
19 Hoonoho iho la ia i ka poe kiai ma na puka o ka hale o Iehova, i komo ole kekahi i haumia ma kekahi mea.
He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the LORD’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
20 A lawe ae la oia i na luna haneri, a me na kaukaualii, a me na luna o na kanaka, a me na kanaka a pau o ka aina, a alakai ae la lakou i ke alii ilalo mai ka hale o Iehova mai; a komo lakou iloko ma ka puka kiekie, a i ka hale o ke alii, a hoonoho lakou i ke alii maluna o ka nohoalii o ke aupuni.
He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the LORD’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21 A hauoli na kanaka a pau o ka aina; a ua maluhia ke kulanakauhale mahope o ko lakou pepehi ana ia Atalia me ka pahikaua.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
