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.

And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

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, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons [which were] slain; and they hid him, [even] him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

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 hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign 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.

And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed 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 he commanded them, saying, This [is] the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;

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.

And a third part [shall be] at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.

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

And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about 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 ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.

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 captains over the hundreds did according to all [things] that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, 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.

And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David’s spears and shields, that [were] in the temple 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 the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, [along] by the altar and 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!

And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save 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.

And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [and] of the people, she came to the people into 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!

And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner [was], and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, 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.

But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house 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 she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain.

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.

And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; between the king also 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 went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over 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 rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on 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 in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword [beside] the king’s house.

21 Fito taona Joasy fony izy vao nanjaka:

Seven years old [was] Jehoash when he began to reign.
