Luo Chronicle 23

1 Tukun yac onkosr, Jehoiada mwet tol, el wotela mu pacl fal in oasr ma orek. El orala sie pwapa yurin captain limekosr lun un mwet mweun inge: Azariah wen natul Jeroham, Ishmael wen natul Jehohanan, Azariah wen natul Obed, Maaseiah wen natul Adaiah, ac Elishaphat wen natul Zichri.

In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zikri, into covenant with him.

2 Elos fahsrelik nu in siti nukewa lun Judah, ac usani mwet Levi ac sifen sou nukewa nu Jerusalem.

They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of ancestral houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

3 Elos nukewa tukeni nu in Tempul, ac elos orala sie wulela yorol Joash, wen natul tokosra. Jehoiada el fahk nu selos, “Pa inge wen nutin tokosra se ma tufahna misa ah. El ac tokosrala inge, in oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh wulela mu mwet in sou lal David pa ac tokosra.

All the assembly made a covenant in the house of God with the king. And he showed them the king's son. And he said to them, "Look, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the descendants of David.

4 Pa inge ma kut ac oru. Ke mwet tol ac mwet Levi elos ac tuku in oru ma kunalos ke len Sabbath, na sie tafu tolu selos ac taran mutunoa nu ke Tempul,

This is the thing that you shall 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 ac sie tafu tolu selos ac taran lohm sin tokosra, ac mwet lula ac fah som nu ke Mutunpot Pwelung. Na mwet nukewa ac fah toeni ke nien tukeni likin Tempul uh.

A third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of the LORD's house.

6 Wangin mwet ac fah utyak nu in Tempul sayen mwet tol ac mwet Levi, su oasr ma kunalos we. Elos ku in utyak mweyen elos aknasnasyeyuk tari, ac mwet nukewa saya enenu in akos na ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, ac muta likinum uh.

But let no one come into the house of the LORD, 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 Mwet Levi elos ac tu raunella tokosra, ac sruok na cutlass natulos, ac elos ac fah welul tokosra nu yen nukewa el ac som nu we. Kutena mwet su srike in utyak nu in Tempul ac fah anwuki.”

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 Mwet Levi ac mwet Judah elos oru oana ma Jehoiada, mwet tol, el sapkin. Kais sie un mwet inge tiana filfilla in som finne safla pacl in orekma lalos in Tempul. Ke ma inge, u sasu se ma ac tuku, ac u se ma safla pacl la, elos ac tukenina muta akola nu ke sap lun captain lun mwet mweun.

So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man 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 did not dismiss the shift.

9 Jehoiada el sang osra, ac mwe loeyuk yohk ac mwe loeyuk srik, su ma natul Tokosra David ma oanna in Tempul, nu sin captain lun un mwet mweun uh.

Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in God's house.

10 El kitalik mwet mweun ma sruok cutlass natulos in tu yen nukewa mutun Tempul uh, in taranul tokosra.

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, along by the altar and the house, around the king.

11 Na Jehoiada el pwanulla Joash nu likinuma, ac sang tefuro se nu fin sifacl, oayapa sie ma simla ke ma oakwuk nu sin sie tokosra. Ouinge Joash el tokosrala. Jehoiada mwet tol, ac wen natul, elos mosrwella Joash, na mwet nukewa sala, “Lela in paht moul lal tokosra!”

Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, "Long live the king."

12 Athaliah el lohngak ke mwet uh sasa in akfulatyal tokosra, na el sulaklak som nu ke Tempul, yen mwet uh tukeni we.

When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:

13 Na el ngetla liye tokosra sasu sac ke nien utyak nu in Tempul, su tu ke sru soko ma srisrila nu sin tokosra, rauniyukla sin captain lun mwet mweun ac mwet ukuk. Mwet nukewa sasa ke engan ac ukya mwe ukuk, ac mwet on lun Tempul elos srital ke mwe on natulos ac kol akfulat ma orek inge. Athaliah el foloyak ac seya nuknuk lal, ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Sulallal! Sulallal!”

and she looked, and, look, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, "Treason. Treason."

14 Jehoiada el tia lungse in anwuki Athaliah sisken Tempul uh. Ouinge el pangon captain lun un mwet mweun ac fahk nu selos, “Usalla inmasrlon tak lun mwet mweun an, ac uniya kutena mwet su srike in molella.”

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, "Do not kill her in the LORD's house."

15 Elos sruokilya ac usalla nu lohm sin tokosra, ac elos unilya sisken Mutunpot Horse.

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 Jehoiada, mwet tol, el orala sie wulela tuh el, ac Tokosra Joash, ac mwet uh, ac fah mwet lun LEUM GOD.

Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD's people.

17 Na elos nukewa som nu ke tempul lal Baal ac kunausla. Elos fukulya loang we ac ma sruloala we, ac unilya Mattan, mwet tol lun Baal, sisken loang we.

All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

18 Jehoiada el sang orekma nukewa in Tempul in oan inpoun mwet tol ac mwet Levi. Elos in oru oana oakwuk lal Tokosra David nu selos ac in furreak ma ac kisakinyuk nu sin LEUM GOD, fal nu ke Ma Sap lal Moses. Ma pac kunalos in karingin on ac pacl in akfulat.

Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of the LORD under the hand of the priests and the Levites, and he appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.

19 Jehoiada el oayapa filiya mwet topang ke mutunoa in Tempul, tuh kutena mwet su tia nasnas fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu, in tia utyak nu we.

He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.

20 Captain lun un mwet mweun, sifen sou, mwet kacto, ac mwet nukewa saya, elos welul Jehoiada pwanulla tokosra liki Tempul nu ke lohm sin tokosra. Elos utyak ke mutunpot se ma oa emeet, na tokosra el som muta fin tron lal ah.

He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the Upper Gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

21 Insien mwet nukewa sessesla ke engan, ac siti sac muta misla tukun Athaliah el anwuki.

So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
