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.
When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the royal family murdered.
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, daughter of King Jehoram, sister of Ahaziah, took Ahaziah's son Joash, stealing him away from the rest of the sons of the king who were being killed. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah, and he was not murdered.
3 Ary niery enin-taona tao aminy tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy. Ary Atalia no nanjaka tamin’ ny tany.
Joash stayed hidden in the Lord's Temple for six years while Athaliah ruled the country.
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.
In the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards, and brought them into the Lord's Temple. He made an agreement with them and made them swear an oath. There in the Lord's Temple he showed them the king's son
5 Ary izy nandidy azy hoe: Izao no hataonareo: Ny ampahatelony izay milatsaka amin’ ny Sabata dia hiambina ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka;
and ordered them, “This is what you are going to do: One third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath will guard the royal palace.
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.
One third will be at the Sur Gate, and one third at the gate behind the guards. You will alternate in guarding the palace.
7 Ary ny roa toko aminareo kosa, dia izay rehetra miala amin’ ny andro Sabata, dia hiambina ny tranon’ i Jehovah hiarovana ny mpanjaka.
The two divisions that would normally go off duty on the Sabbath will guard the Lord's Temple for 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.
Surround the king with weapons drawn, and anyone who approaches this line must be killed. Stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
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.
The commanders of hundreds followed all the instructions that Jehoiada the priest had given. They each took their own men, those who were coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 Ary ny kapiteny nomen’ ilay mpisorona ny lefona sy ampingan’ i Davida mpanjaka izay tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
Then the priest handed over to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields that had belonged to King David which were kept in the Lord's Temple.
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.
The guards stood with weapons drawn surrounding the king by the altar, and in a line around the Temple, from the south side to the north side of the Temple.
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!
Then Jehoiada led out the king's son, placed the crown on him, and handed him a copy of God's Law. They proclaimed him king and anointed him. The people clapped, and shouted, “Long live the king!”
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.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the guards and the people, she rushed to the crowds at the Lord's Temple.
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 by his pillar as the custom was. The commanders and trumpeters were with the king, and everyone was celebrating and blowing trumpets. Athaliah ripped her clothes and screamed out, “Treason! Treason!”
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.
Jehoiada ordered the army commanders, “Bring her to the men standing in front of the Temple, and kill anyone who follows her.” Earlier the priest had made it clear, “She must not be killed in the Lord's Temple.”
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.
They grabbed hold of her, took her to where the horses enter the palace grounds and they killed her 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 made a solemn agreement between the Lord, the king, and the people that they would be the Lord's people. He also made an agreement 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.
Everyone went to the Temple of Baal and tore down its altars and smashed the idols to pieces. They killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, right in front of the altar. Then Jehoiada the priest had guards posted at the Lord's Temple.
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.
Along with the commanders, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people, he led the king in a procession down from the Lord's Temple, entering through the upper gate to the royal palace. There they set the king on the royal throne.
20 Dia nifaly ny vahoaka rehetra, ary nandry fahizay ny tanàna Ary Atalia novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
All throughout the land people celebrated, and Jerusalem was at peace, because Athaliah had been killed by the sword at the palace.
21 Fito taona Joasy fony izy vao nanjaka:
Joash was seven when he became king.
