2 Ihe E Mere 23

1 Nʼafọ nke asaa, Jehoiada gosiri ịdị ike nke obi ya. Ya na ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha gbara ndụ. Ndị a bụ: Azaraya nwa Jeroham, Ishmel nwa Jehohanan, Azaraya nwa Obed, Maaseia nwa Adaya na Elishafat nwa Zikri.

And in the seuenth yeere Iehoiada waxed bolde, and tooke the captaines of hundreths, to wit, Azariah the sonne of Ieroham, and Ishmael the sonne of Iehohanan, and Azariah the sonne of Obed, and Maasiah the sonne of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the sonne of Zichri in couenant with him.

2 Ha pụrụ gaa akụkụ niile nke ala Juda kpọkọta ndị Livayị na ndịisi ezinaụlọ Izrel site nʼobodo niile. Mgbe ha bịarutere Jerusalem,

And they went about in Iudah, and gathered the Leuites out of all the cities of Iudah, and the chiefe fathers of Israel: and they came to Ierusale.

3 ọgbakọ ahụ niile na eze gbara ndụ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke. Mgbe ahụ, Jehoiada sịrị ha, “Nwa eze ga-achị dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa banyere agbụrụ Devid.

And al the Congregation made a couenant with the King in the house of God: and he sayde vnto them, Behold, the Kings sonne must reigne, as the Lord hath sayd of the sonnes of Dauid.

4 Ugbu a, nke a bụ ihe unu ga-eme: Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, bụ ndị ga-abịa ọrụ nʼụbọchị izuike ga-abụ ndị ga-eche ọnụ ụzọ niile nche.

This is it that ye shall do, The third part of you that come on the Sabbath of the Priests, and the Leuites, shalbe porters of the doores.

5 Otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ nke ọzọ ga-anọ nʼụlọeze, ebe otu ụzọ ga-anọ nʼọnụ ụzọ Ntọala. Ndị ọzọ niile ga-anọ gburugburu mpụta ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.

And another third part towarde the Kings house, and another thirde part at the gate of the foundation, and al the people shalbe in the courts of the house of the Lord.

6 Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-abata nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị karịa naanị ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị ndị nọ ọrụ, ha ga-abata nʼihi ha bụ ndị edoro nsọ, ma ndị ọzọ niile ga-edebe iwu Onyenwe anyị, ghara ịbata.

But let none come into the house of the Lord, saue the Priests, and the Leuites that minister: they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keepe the watch of the Lord.

7 Ndị Livayị ga-edo onwe ha gburugburu eze, onye ọbụla ga e jide ihe agha nʼaka ya. Onye ọbụla batara nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ ka a ga-egbu. Nọrọnụ eze nso, ebe ọbụla ọ gara, mgbe ọ na-apụ nʼezi na mgbe ọ na-aba nʼime.”

And the Leuites shall compasse the King rounde about, and euery man with his weapon in his hand, and he that entreth into the house, shall be slaine, and be you with the King, when he commeth in, and when he goeth out.

8 Ndị Livayị na ndị ikom Juda niile mere dịka Jehoiada, onye nchụaja nyere nʼiwu. Onye ọbụla kpọọrọ ndị ikom ya, ma ndị na-abata ịrụ ọrụ nʼụbọchị izuike ma ndị na-emechi ọrụ. Nʼihi na Jehoiada onye nchụaja ezipụghị otu ọbụla nʼime ndị ọrụ ahụ niile.

So the Leuites and all Iudah did according to all things that Iehoiada the Priest had commanded, and tooke euery man his men that came on the Sabbath, with them that went out on the Sabbath: for Iehoiada the Priest did not discharge the courses.

9 O nyere ndị ọchịagha ahụ na-elekọta narị ndị agha, ùbe na ọta ukwu na ọta nta niile, ndị bụrịị nke eze Devid, bụ ndị dị nʼụlọnsọ Chineke.

And Iehoiada the Priest deliuered to the captaines of hundreths speares, and shieldes, and bucklers which had bene King Dauids, and were in the house of God.

10 O guzobere ndị ikom niile ahụ, onye ọbụla ji ngwa agha ya nʼaka ya, nọdụ eze gburugburu na nso ebe ịchụ aja na ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Site nʼakụkụ ndịda ruo nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.

And he caused all the people to stand (euery man with his weapon in his hande) from the right side of the house, to ye left side of the house by the altar and by the house round about ye king.

11 Jehoiada na ụmụ ya ndị ikom kpọpụtara nwa eze, kpube ya okpueze nʼisi, ha nyere ya otu akwụkwọ nke ihe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, chie ya eze. Ha tekwara ya mmanụ ịbụ eze, tie mkpu sị, “Ka eze dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi!”

Then they brought out the Kings sonne, and put vpon him the crowne and gaue him the testimonie, and made him King. And Iehoiada and his sonnes anoynted him, and sayd, God saue the King.

12 Mgbe Atalaya nụrụ mkpọtụ ndị mmadụ, ndị na-agba ọsọ na-eto eze, ọ gakwuru ha nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.

But when Athaliah heard the noyse of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord.

13 O lepụrụ anya, ma lee eze, ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ogidi ya dị na mbata. Ndịisi na ndị na-afụ opi nọ nʼakụkụ eze, ndị niile nke ala ahụ nọkwa na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na-afụ opi. Ndị ọbụ abụ jikwa iti egwu na-edu nʼabụ otuto. Mgbe ahụ, Atalaya dọwara uwe ya, sị, “Nke a bụ nnupu isi megide eze! Nke a bụ nnupu isi megide ọchịchị!”

And when she looked, beholde, the King stoode by his pillar at the entring in, and the princes and the trumpets by the King, and all the people of the land reioyced, and blew the trumpets, and the singers were with instruments of musike, and they that could sing prayse: then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason.

14 Jehoiada, bụ onye nchụaja zipụrụ ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, bụ ndị na-elekọta usuu ndị agha, sị ha, “Sitenụ nʼetiti ahịrị ahụ kpụpụta ya nʼetiti ahịrị unu, onye ọbụla nke gbasoro ya, werenụ mma agha gbuo onye ahụ.” Nʼihi na onye nchụaja sịrị, “Ka egbula ya na ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.”

Then Iehoiada the Priest brought out the captaines of hundreths that were gouernours of the hoste, and said vnto them, Haue her foorth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him dye by the sword: for the Priest had said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.

15 Ya mere, ha jidere ya mgbe o rutere na mbata nke ọnụ ụzọ ịnyịnya nʼogige ụlọeze, ebe ahụ ka ha gburu ya.

So they layde hands on her: and when she was come to the entring of the horsegate by the Kings house, they slew her there.

16 Jehoiada mere ka ọgbụgba ndụ dị, na ya, na ndị mmadụ, na eze, ga-abụ ndị nke Onyenwe anyị.

And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene him, and all the people, and the King, that they would be the Lords people.

17 Ndị niile ahụ gara nʼụlọ nchụaja Baal kwatuo ya. Ha tidasịrị ebe nchụaja na arụsị niile dị nʼebe ahụ, gbukwaa Matan onye nchụaja Baal nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.

And all the people went to the house of Baal, and destroyed, and brake his altars and his images, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

18 Mgbe ahụ, Jehoiada nyefere nlekọta nke ụlọnsọ ukwuu Onyenwe anyị nʼaka ndị nchụaja bụ ndị Livayị, bụ ndị Devid nyere ọrụ ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ nke Onyenwe anyị nʼime ụlọnsọ, dịka e dere ya nʼiwu Mosis, nʼiji ọṅụ na ịbụ abụ dịka Devid nyere nʼiwu.

And Iehoiada appointed officers for the house of the Lord, vnder the handes of the Priestes and Leuites, whome Dauid had distributed for the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with reioycing and singing by the appoyntment of Dauid.

19 O debekwara ndị nche nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, igbochi ka onye ọbụla nke na-adịghị ọcha nʼụzọ ọbụla ghara ịbanye.

And he set porters by the gates of ye house of the Lord, that none that was vncleane in any thing, should enter in.

20 Ọ kpọọrọ ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, na ndị a na-asọpụrụ, na ndị na-achị achị, na ndị ala ahụ niile, dupụta eze site nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ha bara nʼụlọeze site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị Elu, mee ka eze nọkwasị nʼelu ocheeze.

And he tooke the captaines of hundreths, and the noble men, and the gouernours of the people, and all the people of the land, and he caused the King to come downe out of the house of the Lord, and they went thorowe the hie gate of the Kings house, and set the King vpon the throne of the kingdome.

21 Ndị ala ahụ niile ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu, obodo ahụ dakwara jụụ, nʼihi na e ji mma agha gbuo Atalaya nʼụlọeze.

Then all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was quiet, after that they had slaine Athaliah with the sword.
