2 Ndị Eze 11
1 Mgbe Atalaya nne Ahazaya hụrụ na nwa ya nwoke anwụọla, ọ gara nʼihu bido igbu ndị niile a mụrụ nʼụlọ eze.
And when 'Athalyah the mother of Achazyahu saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2 Ma Jehosheba, bụ nwa nwanyị eze Jehoram, ma bụrụkwa nwanne nwanyị Ahazaya, kuuru Joash nwa Ahazaya, zopu ya site nʼetiti ụmụ ndị ikom eze, bụ ndị a chọrọ igbu egbu. O zoro ya na nwanyị na-elekọta ya anya nʼime ụlọ ndina, ka Atalaya hapụ ịhụ ya, nke a mere na-egbughị ya.
But Yehosheba', the daughter of king Joram, the sister of Achazyahu, took Joash the son of Achazyahu, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, him and his nurse into the bed-chamber: and they hid him from 'Athalyah, so that he was not slain.
3 Ya na nwanyị na-elekọta ya anya nọgidere na nzuzo nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, afọ isii, oge ahụ niile Atalaya na-achị nʼala ahụ.
And he was with her in the house of the Lord hidden for six years, while 'Athalyah was reigning over the land.
4 Nʼafọ nke asaa, Jehoiada, ziri ozi kpọọ ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, ndị Karị na ndị nche oku, mee ka ha bịakwute ya nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Ya na ha gbara ndụ, o mekwara ka ha ṅụọ iyi nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị. Mgbe ahụ, o gosiri ha nwa eze.
And in the seventh year Yehoyada' sent and fetched the rulers over the hundreds, of the guards and the runners, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant with them, and made them swear in the house of the Lord, and showed them the king's son.
5 O nyere ha iwu, sị, “Nke a bụ ihe unu ga-eme, unu bụ ndị nọ nʼotu atọ ga-abịa ọrụ nʼụbọchị izuike, nke otu ụzọ nʼime unu na-eche ụlọeze nche,
And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do: A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keeping watch in the king's house;
6 otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ atọ ga-anọ nʼọnụ ụzọ Sua, ebe otu ụzọ ga-anọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, nʼazụ ndị na-eche nche nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke.
And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the runners; so shall ye keep watch at the house, as a defence.
7 Ma unu bụ otu abụọ ndị kwesiri ịga ezumike site nʼọrụ unu nʼụbọchị izuike, ga-eguzo na nche nʼụlọnsọ ukwu nʼihi eze.
And two parts of you all that are relieved on the sabbath, even they shall keep watch in the house of the Lord about the king.
8 Doonụ onwe unu gburugburu eze, onye ọbụla nʼime unu jide ihe agha nʼaka ya. Onye ọbụla nke na-abịa nso ahịrị unu, ka e gbuo ya. Nọrọnụ eze nso ebe ọbụla ọ gara, mgbe ọ na-apụ nʼezi na mgbe ọ na-aba nʼime.”
And ye shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranges shall be put to death: and be ye with the king when he goeth out and when he cometh in.
9 Ndị ọchịagha ndị a na-achị narị ndị agha mere dịka Jehoiada, onye nchụaja nyere nʼiwu. Onye ọbụla kpọrọ ndị ikom ya, ma ndị na-emechi ọrụ, ma ndị na-abata ịrụ ọrụ nʼụbọchị izuike, bịakwute Jehoiada, bụ onye nchụaja.
And the captains over the hundreds did in accordance with all that Yohayada' the priest had commanded: and they took every man his men that came in on the sabbath, with those that were to be relieved on the sabbath, and came to Yehoyada' the priest.
10 O nyere ndị ọchịagha ahụ ùbe na ọta niile, ndị bụrịị nke eze Devid, ndị dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
And the priest gave to the captains over the hundred the spears and shields that had belonged to king David, that were in the house of the Lord.
11 Onye ọbụla na ndị nche ahụ ji ngwa agha nʼaka ya, ha guzoro onwe ha, nọdụ eze gburugburu, na nso ebe ịchụ aja na ụlọnsọ ukwu, site nʼakụkụ ndịda ruo nʼakụkụ ugwu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
And the runners stood every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and within, round about the king.
12 Jehoiada kpọpụtara nwa eze, kpube ya okpueze nʼisi, o nyere ya otu akwụkwọ nke ihe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, chie ya eze. Ha tekwara ya mmanụ ịbụ eze. Ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ kụrụ aka, tie mkpu, sị, “Ka eze dịrị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi!”
And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony, and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king.
13 Mgbe Atalaya nụrụ mkpọtụ nke ndị nche na ndị mmadụ na-eme, ọ gakwuru ndị ahụ nọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
And when 'Athalyah heard the noise of the runners [and] of the people, she came to the people in the house of the Lord.
14 O lepụrụ anya, ma lee eze, ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ogidi, dịka omenaala mmemme ịchị eze si dị. Ndịisi na ndị na-afụ opi nọ nʼakụkụ eze. Ndị niile nke ala ahụ nọkwa na-aṅụrị ọṅụ na-afụ opi. Atalaya dọwara uwe ya, sị, “Nnupu isi megide eze! Nke a bụ nnupu isi megide ọchịchị!”
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood upon a stand, according to custom, and the princes and the trumpeters were by the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets: and 'Athalyah then rent her clothes, and cried, Conspiracy! conspiracy!
15 Jehoiada, bụ onye nchụaja nyere ndịisi ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, bụ ndị na-elekọta usuu ndị agha, iwu sị ha, “Sitenụ nʼebe ahụ kpọpụta ya nʼetiti ahịrị unu, onye ọbụla nke gbasoro ya, werenụ mma agha gbuo onye ahụ.” Nʼihi na onye nchụaja sịrị, “Agaghị egbu ya nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.”
But Yehoyada' the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the commanders of the army, and said unto them, Lead her forth to within the ranges: and him that followeth her put to death with the sword. For the priest had said, She shall not be slain in the house of the Lord.
16 Ya mere, ha jidere ya, mgbe o rutere nʼụzọ ebe ịnyịnya si abata nʼogige ụlọeze, ebe ahụ ka ha nọ gbuo ya.
And they made way for her; and she went by the way of the entrance of the horses into the king's house: and she was put to death there.
17 Jehoiada mere ka ọgbụgba ndụ dị nʼetiti Onyenwe anyị na eze, na ndị mmadụ, na ha ga-abụ ndị nke Onyenwe anyị. O mekwara ka ọgbụgba ndụ dịrị nʼetiti eze na ndị ahụ.
And Yehoyada' made a covenant between the Lord and between the king and between the people, that they should be a people unto the Lord; and between the king and between the people.
18 Ndị niile nke ala ahụ gara nʼụlọ nchụaja Baal kwatuo ya. Ha tidasịrị ebe nchụaja na arụsị niile dị nʼebe ahụ mee ka ọ darisịa, gbukwaa Matan onye nchụaja Baal nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ. Mgbe ahụ, Jehoiada onye nchụaja, debekwara ndị nche ka ha lekọta ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
And then came all the people of the land into the house of Ba'al, and pulled it down: his altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and Mattan the priest of Ba'al they slew before the altars. And the priest appointed superintendents over the house of the Lord.
19 Ọ kpọọrọ ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, ha na ndị Karị, na ndị nche, ha na ndị ala ahụ niile, ha niile dupụtara eze site nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị site nʼọnụ ụzọ ndị nche banye nʼụlọeze. Eze were ọnọdụ ya nʼelu ocheeze.
And he took the chiefs over hundreds, and the guards, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the runners to the king's house: and he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 Ndị ala ahụ niile ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu, obodo ahụ dakwara jụụ, nʼihi na e ji mma agha gbuo Atalaya nʼụlọeze.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; but 'Athalyah they had slain with the sword at the king's house.
21 Joash gbara afọ asaa mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze.
Seven years old was Jehoash when he became king.
