2 Tantara 23
1 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahafito Joiada nitombo hery ka nanao fanekena tamin’ ny mpifehy zato, dia Azaria, zanak’ i Jerohama, sy Isimaela, zanak’ i Johanana, sy Azaria, zanak’ i Obeda, sy Mahaseia, zanak’ i Adaia, ary Elisafata, zanak’ i Zikry.
And 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 Zichri, into covenant with him.
2 Ary nitety an’ i Joda Ireo ka namory ny Levita avy tany amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra sy ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana tamin’ ny Isiraely, dia tonga tany Jerosalema ireo.
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Ary ny olona rehetra vory tao dia nanao fanekena tamin’ ny mpanjaka tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra. Ary hoy Joiada taminy: Indro, ny zanaky ny mpanjaka no hanjaka araka ny efa nolazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Davida.
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD has said of the sons of David.
4 Izao no hataonareo: ny ampahatelonareo izay milatsaka amin’ ny Sabata, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita, ho mpiandry varavarana;
This is the thing that you shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
5 ary ny ampahatelonareo ho ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka; ary ny ampahatelonareo ho eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fanorenana; ary ny vahoaka rehetra kosa dia ho eo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
6 Fa aza avela hisy hiditra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah afa-tsy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izay manao fanompoam-pivavahana ihany; ireo ihany no hiditra, satria masìna ireo; fa ny vahoaka rehetra kosa dia hitandrina izay nasain’ i Jehovah hotandremana.
But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
7 Ary ny Levita hanemitra manodidina ny mpanjaka, samy mitana ny fiadiany avy; ka na iza na iza miditra ao an-trano dia Vonoy, ary arahonareo ny mpanjaka, na miditra na mivoaka izy.
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever else comes into the house, he shall be put to death: but be you with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out.
8 Ary ny Levita sy ny Joda rehetra dia nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Joiada mpisorona azy, ka samy nitondra ny olom-peheziny izay nilatsaka tamin’ ny Sabata sy izay niala tamin’ ny Sabata izy; fa Joiada mpisorona tsy nandrava ny antokony.
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
9 Ary nomen’ i Joiada mpisorona ho an’ ny mpifehy zato ny lefona sy ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe, izay an’ i Davida mpanjaka ka tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra.
Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God.
10 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia nalahany, samy nitana ny fiadiany avy hanodidina ny mpanjaka hatramin’ ny lafiny ankavavan’ ny trano ka hatramin’ ny lafiny ankavia, hatramin’ ny alitara ka hatramin’ ny trano.
And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
11 Dia nentiny nivoaka ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka ka nampisatrohiny ny satro-boninahitra, sady notolorany ny teni-vavolombelona, ka dia nampanjakainy. Ary Joiada sy ny zanany nanosotra azy ka niantso hoe: Ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka!
Then they brought out the king’s son, and put on him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
12 Ary nony ren’ i Atalia ny tabataban’ ny vahoaka nifamoivoy sy niarahaba ny mpanjaka, dia mba nankao amin’ ny vahoaka tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah koa izy.
Now 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 Ary hitany fa, indro, ny mpanjaka nitsangana teo amin’ ny fitoeran’ andriana teo amin’ ny fidirana, ary ny mpanapaka sy ny mpitsoka ny trompetra dia teo anilan’ ny mpanjaka; ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia nifaly sady nitsoka ny trompetra ary ny mpihira amin’ ny zava-maneno isan-karazany no nitarika ny hira fiderana. Dia nandriatra ny fitafiany Atalia ka niantso hoe: Fikomiana! fikomiana!
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
14 Fa nasain’ i Joiada navoaky ny kapiteny! mpifehy ny miaramila, izy, ka hoy izy tamin’ ireo: Avoahy eny ivelan’ ny filaharana izy, ary izay manaraka azy dia vonoy amin’ ny sabatra. Fa ny mpisorona efa nandrara hoe: Aza vonoina eto an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy.
Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
15 Ary ny olona nisava teo an-daniny roa, dia nankamin’ ny fidirana amin’ ny vavahadin-tsoavaly ravehivavy ka niditra tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka; dia novonoiny teo izy.
So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there.
16 Ary Joiada nampanao fanekena ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny tenany mba ho olon’ i Jehovah.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.
17 Ary ny vahoaka vehetra niditra tao an-tranon’ i Bala ka nandrava azy; ny alitara sy ny endri-javatra dia notorotoroiny avokoa, ary Matana, mpisoron’ i Bala, novonoiny teo anoloan’ ny alitara.
Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Ary Joiada nanendry olona hitandrina ny tranon’ i Jehovah hofehezin’ ny Levita mpisorona izay nozarazarain’ i Davida ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, hanatitra ny fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah, araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, amin’ ny fifaliana sy ny fihirana, dia araka ny nasain’ i Davida natao.
Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed 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, as it was ordained by David.
19 Ary nalatsany teo am-bavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah ny mpiandry varavarana mba tsy hisy zavatra maloto na inona na inona ho tafiditra ao.
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
20 Dia nalainy ny mpifehy zato sy ny olona manan-kaja sy ny mpanapaka ny olona ary ny vahoaka rehetra; ary dia nentiny nidina avy tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny mpanjaka, ka ny vavahady ambony no nalehany hankao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka; ary nametraka ny mpanjaka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny fanjakana izy.
And 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 high gate into the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21 Dia nifaly ny vahoaka rehetra; ary nandry fahizay ny tanana, fa Atalia efa novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra.
And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
