1 Aa ie amy taom-pahafitoy, le nihafatratse t’Iehoiada, le rinambe’e o mpifehe-zatoo naho i Azarià ana’ Ierohame naho Ismaele ana’ Iehonane naho i Azarià ana’ i Ovede naho i Maaseià ana’ i Adaià naho i Elisafate ana’ i Zikrý vaho nifañina am’ iereo.
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself and made a covenant with the commanders of hundreds—with Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.
2 Le nanitsike Iehodà iereo nanontoñe o nte-Levio amo hene’ rova’ Iehodao naho o talèn’ anjomban-droae’ Israeleo vaho niheo mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
So they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah and the heads of the families of Israel. And when they came to Jerusalem,
3 Nifañina amy mpanjakay añ’anjomban’ Añahare ao i fivori-bey iabiy, le hoe t’Iehoiada am’ iereo: Heheke te hifehe ty ana’ i mpanjakay amy tsara’ Iehovà ty amo ana’ i Davi­deoy.
the whole assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. “Behold, the king’s son!” said Jehoiada. “He must reign, just as the LORD promised concerning the descendants of David.
4 Zao ty hanoe’ areo: ty faha-telo’ areo mpisoroñe naho nte-Levy mpizilik’ ao amy Sabatay ro hañambeñe o lalambeio;
This is what you are to do: A third of you priests and Levites who come on duty on the Sabbath shall keep watch at the doors,
5 ty faha-telo’e ty ho añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay; ty faha-telo’e ty ho an-dalambei’ i manantañey; vaho ho an-kiririsan’ anjomba’ Iehovà eo ondaty iabio.
a third shall be at the royal palace, and a third at the Foundation Gate, while all the others are in the courtyards of the house of the LORD.
6 Ko ado’ areo himoak’ añ’ anjom­ba’ Iehovà ao ndra ia’ia naho tsy o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levy mpitoroñeo avao; ie ro hizilik’ ao, amy te miavake; vaho fonga hambena’ ondatio o fanoroa’ Iehovào.
No one is to enter the house of the LORD except the priests and those Levites who serve; they may enter because they are consecrated, but all the people are to obey the requirement of the LORD.
7 Hañarikatoke i mpanjakay o nte-Levio, songa hitañe ty fialia’e am-pità’e; le ho vonoeñe ze ila’e mimoak’ amy anjombay; vaho inahareo, mindreza amy mpanjakay ndra t’ie mizilike ndra te miakatse.
The Levites must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who enters the temple must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
8 Aa le nanoe’ o nte-Levio naho Iehoda iaby ze linili’ Iehoiada, mpisoroñe, le songa rinambe’e ondati’eo, o hizilik’ amy Sabotseio naho o hiakatse amy Sabotseio; amy te tsy navotso’ Iehoiada o mpirimboñeo.
So the Levites and all Judah did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—for Jehoiada the priest had not released any of the divisions.
9 Mbore zinara’ Iehoiada, mpisoroñe amo mpifehe-zatoo o lefoñe naho fikalañ’ araña naho fikalan-defo’ i Davide mpanjaka, boak’ añ’ anjomban’ Añahareo.
Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and the large and small shields of King David that were in the house of God.
10 Le nalaha’e ondaty iabio, songa reke-pialiañe am-pità’e, boak’ ankavana’ i anjombay pak’ ankavia’ i anjombay, am-piozañe amy kitreliy naho amy anjombay, añarisehoañe i mpanjakay.
He stationed all the troops, with their weapons in hand, surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
11 Nampiavote’ iereo amy zao i ana-mpanjakay naho naombe ama’e i sabakay naho natolotse aze i fañinay vaho nanoeñe mpanjaka, noriza’ Iehoiada naho o ana’eo vaho nanao ty hoe: Maha­velo ry mpanjaka.
Then Jehoiada and his sons brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him and shouted, “Long live the king!”
12 Ie tsinano’ i Atalià ty fikoraha’ ondaty nilay handrenge i mpanjakaio le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao mb’am’ ondatio mb’eo.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and cheering the king, she went out to them in the house of the LORD.
13 Niisa’e te inge nijohañe marine i faha’ey am-pimoahañe eo i mpanjakay naho nitotok’ amy mpanjakay o roandriañeo naho o mpitan-trompetrao naho nirebeke iaby ondati’ i taneio naho nampipopò trompetra naho nitintim-pititihañe o mpi­saboo, nisabo vaho nitarike am-pandrengeañe. Aa le niriate’ i Atalià o saro’eo nanao ty hoe: Fiola! Fiola!
And she looked out and saw the king standing by his pillar at the entrance. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, while the singers with musical instruments were leading the praises. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason, treason!”
14 Nampiakare’ Iehoiada amo mpifehe-zato nifeleke i valobohòkeio re, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Akaro añivo’ o firimboñañe añ’anjombao re, le zevò am-pibara ze mañorik’ aze; ami’ty nandilia’ i mpisoroñey ty hoe: Ko vonoeñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
And Jehoiada the priest sent out the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, saying, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
15 Aa le tsinepa’ iareo am-pitàñe; le ie pok’ amy fimoahan-tsoavalan’ anjombam-panjakay le zinevo’ iereo.
So they seized Athaliah as she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate to the palace grounds, and there they put her to death.
16 Le nifañina añivo’e naho ondaty iabio vaho i mpanjakay t’Iehoida, t’ie ho ondati’ Iehovà.
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people.
17 Aa le nomb’an-traño’ i Baale mb’eo ondaty iabio nandrotsak’ aze, nandemok’ o kitreli’eo naho o sare’eo, vaho vinono’ iareo t’i Matane mpisoro’ i Baale aolo’ o kitrelio.
So all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars.
18 Le tinendre’ Iehoiada o mpifehe’ i anjomba’ Iehovào ho ambanem-pità’ o mpisoroñe nte-Levy zinara’ i Davide am-pirimboñañe mifandimbe añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao hañenga soroñe am’ Iehovào, ty amy nanokirañe amy Tsara’ i Mosèy, am-pirebehañe naho takasy nampanoe’ i Davide.
Moreover, Jehoiada put the oversight of the house of the LORD into the hands of the Levitical priests, whom David had appointed over the house of the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD as is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and song, as ordained by David.
19 Tinendre’e ka o mpiamben-dala’ i anjomba’ Iehovàio, soa tsy aman-dalañe hiziliha’e t’indaty tsy malio.
He stationed gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, so that nothing unclean could enter for any reason.
20 Le nendese’e o mpifele-jatoo naho o roandriañeo naho o mpifelek’ ondatio naho ze hene ondati’ i taney vaho nampizotsoe’e boak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao i mpanjakay; le nizilik’ amy lalambey amboney mb’ añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay mb’eo re vaho nampiambesareñe am-piambesam-pifeheañe eo i mpanjakay.
He also took with him the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace through the Upper Gate. They seated King Joash on the royal throne,
21 Le nandia taroba iaby ondati’ i taneio vaho nitofa i rovay amy te vinono am-pibara t’i Atalià.
and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword.
