2 Mpanjaka 11

1 Ary nony hitan’ i Atalia, renin’ i Ahazia, fa maty ny zanany dia nitsangana izy ka nandringana ny zanak’ andriana rehetra.

Truly, Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, seeing that her son was dead, rose up and put to death all the royal offspring.

2 Fa Joseba, zanakavavin’ i Jehorama mpanjaka ary anabavin’ i Ahazia, dia naka an’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Ahazia, ka namonjy azy mbamin’ ny mpitaiza azy avy teo amin’ ny zanaky ny mpanjaka izay novonoina ho ao an-trano fitehirizam-pandriana ary nafeniny an’ i Atalia izy, ka dia tsy mba voavono.

But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, taking Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, stole him away from the midst of the sons of the king who were being killed, out of the bedroom, with his nurse. And she hid him from the face of Athaliah, so that he would not be killed.

3 Ary niery enin-taona tao aminy tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy. Ary Atalia no nanjaka tamin’ ny tany.

And he was with her for six years, hidden in the house of the Lord. But Athaliah reigned over the land.

4 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahafito Joiada naniraka haka ny kapiteny, mpifehy ny anjolofo sy ny mpiambina, dia nampiditra azy tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ary nampanaiky sy nampianiana azy tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, ka nasehony azy ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka.

Then, in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for and took centurions and soldiers, and he brought them to himself in the temple of the Lord. And he formed a pact with them. And taking an oath with them in the house of the Lord, he revealed to them the son of the king.

5 Ary izy nandidy azy hoe: Izao no hataonareo: Ny ampahatelony izay milatsaka amin’ ny Sabata dia hiambina ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka;

And he commanded them, saying: “This is the word that you must do.

6 ary ny ampahatelony ho eo am-bavahady Sora; ary ny ampahatelony ho ao am-bavahady ivohon’ ny mpiambina, dia hiambina ny trano ianareo ka hiaro azy.

Let one third part of you enter on the Sabbath, and keep watch on the house of the king. And let one third part be at the gate of Sur. And let one third part be at the gate behind the dwelling place of the shield bearers. And you shall keep the watch on the house of Mesha.

7 Ary ny roa toko aminareo kosa, dia izay rehetra miala amin’ ny andro Sabata, dia hiambina ny tranon’ i Jehovah hiarovana ny mpanjaka.

Yet truly, let two parts of you, all who depart on the Sabbath, keep watch over the house of the Lord concerning the king.

8 Ary hanemitra manodidina ny mpanjaka ianareo, samy mitana ny fiadiany avy; ka na iza na iza mamaky laharana dia vonoy, ary arahonareo ny mpanjaka, na mivoaka na miditra izy.

And you shall surround him, having weapons in your hands. But if anyone will have entered the precinct of the temple, let him be killed. And you shall be with the king, entering and departing.”

9 Ary ny kapiteny dia nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Joiada mpisorona, ka samy nitondra ny olom-peheziny izay nilatsaka tamin’ ny Sabata sy izay niala tamin’ ny Sabata ary nankany amin’ i Joiada mpisorona.

And the centurions acted in accord with all the things that Jehoiada, the priest, had instructed them. And taking each one of their men who would enter on the Sabbath, with those who would depart on the Sabbath, they went to Jehoiada, the priest.

10 Ary ny kapiteny nomen’ ilay mpisorona ny lefona sy ampingan’ i Davida mpanjaka izay tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.

And he gave to them the spears and weapons of king David, which were in the house of the Lord.

11 Ary ny mpiambina nitsangana, ka samy nitana ny fiadiany avy hanodidina ny mpanjaka hatramin’ ny lafiny ankavanan’ ny trano ka hatramin’ ny lafiny ankavia, hatramin’ ny alitara ka hatramin’ ny trano.

And they stood, each one having his weapons in his hand, before the right side of the temple, all the way to the left side of the altar and of the shrine, surrounding the king.

12 Dia nentin’ i Joiada nivoaka ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka ka nosatrohany ny satro-boninahitra izy, dia notolorany ny Vavolombelona; ka dia nampanjakainy sy nohosorany izy, ary ny olona nitehaka ka niantso hoe: Ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka!

And he led forth the son of the king. And he placed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they made him king, and they anointed him. And clapping their hands, they said: “The king lives!”

13 Ary nony ren’ i Atalia ny tabataban’ ny mpiambina sy ny vahoaka, dia mba nankao amin’ ny vahoaka tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy.

Then Athaliah heard the sound of the people running. And entering to the crowd at the temple of the Lord,

14 Ary hitany fa, indro, ny mpanjaka nitsangana teo amin’ ny fitoeran’ andriana toy ny fanao, ary ny andriandahy sy ny mpitsoka trompetra dia teo anilan’ ny mpanjaka; ary ny vahoaka rehetra nifaly sady nampaneno ny trompetra; dia nandriatra ny fitafiany Atalia ka niantso hoe: Fikomiana! fikomiana!

she saw the king standing upon a tribunal, according to custom, and the singers and trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing and sounding the trumpets. And she tore her garments, and she cried out: “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”

15 Fa Joiada mpisorona nandidy ny kapiteny, mpifehy ny miaramila, ka nanao taminy hoe: Avoahy eny ivelan’ ny laharana izy, ary izay manaraka azy dia vonoy amin’ ny sabatra. Fa ny mpisorona efa nandrara hoe Aza vonoina ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy.

But Jehoiada gave orders to the centurions who were over the army, and he said to them: “Lead her away, beyond the precinct of the temple. And whoever will have followed her, let him be struck with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not allow her to be killed in the temple of the Lord.”

16 Ary ny olona nisava teo an-daniny roa, dia nandeha tamin’ ny lalana fandehanan’ ny soavaly ho any an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka ravehivavy; dia novonoiny tao izy.

And they laid hands on her. And they pushed her through the way by which horses enter, beside the palace. And she was killed there.

17 Ary Joiada nampanao fanekena ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka tamin’ i Jehovah, mba ho olon’ i Jehovah izy, ary nampifanaiky ny mpanjaka sy ny vahoaka koa.

Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between the Lord, and the king and the people, so that they would be the people of the Lord; and between the king and the people.

18 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra niditra tao an-tranon’ i Bala ka nandrava azy; ny alitara sy ny endri-javatra teo aminy dia notorotoroiny avokoa, ary Matana, mpisoron’ i Bala, novonoiny teo anoloan’ ny alitara. Ary ny mpisorona nanendry ny ho mpitandrina ny tranon’ i Jehovah.

And all the people of the land entered the temple of Baal, and they tore down his altars, and they thoroughly crushed the statues. Also, they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altar. And the priest placed guards in the house of the Lord.

19 Ary nalainy ny kapiteny sy ny anjolofo sy ny mpiambina mbamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra ary nentina nidina avy tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny mpanjaka, ka teo am-bavahadin’ ny mpiambina no nalehany hankao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka. Ary nipetraka tamin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny mpanjaka izy.

And he took the centurions, and the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites, and all the people of the land, and together they led the king from the house of the Lord. And they went by way of the gate of the shield bearers into the palace. And he sat upon the throne of the kings.

20 Dia nifaly ny vahoaka rehetra, ary nandry fahizay ny tanàna Ary Atalia novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka.

And all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword at the house of the king.

21 Fito taona Joasy fony izy vao nanjaka:

Now Jehoash was seven years old when he had begun to reign.
