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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 YHWH has spoken concerning the descendants 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, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
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.
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 YHWH's house.
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 no one come into the house of YHWH, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow YHWH's instructions.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of YHWH:
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, 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 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.
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 YHWH's house."
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 made way for her. She went to the entrance of the Horse Gate to the king's house; and they killed her there.
16 Ary Joiada nampanao fanekena ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny tenany mba ho olon’ i Jehovah.
Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be YHWH'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.
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 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.
Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of YHWH 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 YHWH, to offer the burnt offerings of YHWH, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of 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.
He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of YHWH, that no one who was unclean in anything 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.
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 YHWH: and they came through the Upper Gate to 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.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
