2 Whakapapa 23

1 Na i te whitu o nga tau ka whakanuia e Iehoiara he kaha mona; i riro hoki i a ia nga rangatira rau, a Ataria tama a Ierohama, a Ihimaera tama a Iehohanana, a Ataria tama a Opere, a Maaheia tama a Araia, a Erihapata tama a Tikiri, hei hoa mona, me a rawa ki te kawenata.

And in the eighth year Jodae strengthened [himself], and took the captains of hundreds, Azarias the son of Joram, and Ismael the son of Joanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasaeas the son of Adia, and Elisaphan the son of Zacharias, with him unto the house of the Lord.

2 Na haereerea ana e ratou a Hura a taka noa, huihuia ana e ratou nga Riwaiti i roto i nga pa katoa o Hura, ratou ko nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o Iharaira, a haere ana ratou ki Hiruharama.

And they went round about Juda, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and heads of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

3 Na ka whakarite kawenata te whakaminenga katoa ki te kingi i roto i te whare o te Atua. I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Nana, hei kingi te tama a te kingi, hei pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai mo nga tama a Rawiri.

and all the congregation of Juda made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he shewed them the king's son, and said to them, Lo, let the king's son reign, as the Lord said concerning the house of David.

4 Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai; ko te tuatoru o nga wehenga o koutou e haere mai ana i te hapati, ara o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, hei kaitiaki mo nga kuwaha;

Now this [is] the thing which ye shall do. Let a third part of you, [even] of the priests and of the Levites, enter in on the sabbath, even into the gates of the entrances;

5 Ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te whare o te kingi; ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te kuwaha o te turanga; ko te iwi katoa hoki hei nga marae o te whare o Ihowa.

and let a third part be in the house of the king; and another third at the middle gate: and all the people in the courts of the Lord's house.

6 Kaua ia tetahi e tomo ki te whare o Ihowa, ko nga tohunga anake, ratou ko te hunga o nga Riwaiti e minita ana; ko ratou e haere ki roto, no te mea he tapu ratou. Ko te iwi katoa ia hei tiaki i nga mea a Ihowa.

And let not [any one] enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests and the Levites, and the servants of the Levites; they shall enter in, because they are holy: and let all the people keep the watch of the Lord.

7 Na me karapoti te kingi e nga Riwaiti a tawhio noa; hei tona ringa ano te patu a tenei, a tenei; a ki te tomo tetahi ki te whare, me whakamate. Hei te taha tonu koutou o te kingi i tona haerenga mai, i tona haerenga atu.

And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man's weapon in his hand; and whoever [else] goes into the house shall die: but they shall be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.

8 Na ka meatia e nga Riwaiti, e Hura katoa nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Iehoiara tohunga; a ka mau ratou ki ana tangata, ki ana tangata, ki nga mea e haere ana ki roto i te hapati, ki te hunga ano e haere atu ana ki waho i te hapati; kihai hoki a Ie hoiara tohunga i tuku i nga wehenga kia haere.

And the Levites and all Juda did according to all that the priest Jodae commanded them, and they took each his men from the beginning of the sabbath to the end of the sabbath, for Jodae the priest did not dismiss the courses.

9 A i homai e Iehoiara tohunga ki nga rangatira rau nga tao, nga pukupuku, me nga whakapuru tao a Kingi Rawiri; i roto hoki era i te whare o te Atua.

And Jodae gave to the men the swords, and the shields, and the arms, which [had] belonged to King David, in the house of God.

10 I whakaturia ano e ia te iwi katoa, me a ratou patu i te ringa o tenei, o tenei, i te koki ki matau o te whare, tae noa ki te koki ki maui o te whare, ki nga taha o te aata, o te whare, hei karapoti mo te kingi.

And he set the whole people, every man with his arms, from the right side of the house to the left side of the altar and the house, over against the king round about.

11 Katahi ka whakaputaina e ratou te tama a te kingi, potaea iho ki a ia te karauna; a homai ana te whakaaturanga ki a ia, na whakakingitia ana ia e ratou; a na Iehoiara ratou ko ana tama ia i whakawahi, me ta ratou karanga, Kia ora te kingi.

And he brought out the king's son, and put on him the crown and the testimony, and Jodae the priest and his sons proclaimed him king, and anointed him, and said, Long live the king!

12 A, no te rongonga o Ataria i te nge o te iwi e rere ana, e whakamoemiti ana ki te kingi, ka haere ia ki te iwi, ki te whare o Ihowa.

And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and acknowledging and praising the king: and she went in to the king into the house of the Lord.

13 A ka titiro ia, na ko te kingi e tu ana i te taha o tona pou i te tomokanga, ko nga rangatira ano me nga tetere i te taha o te kingi; a ko te iwi katoa o te whenua e koa ana, e whakatangi ana i nga tetere; ko nga kaiwaiata hoki e whakatangi ana i nga mea rangi waiata, e arahi ana i te waiata whakamoemiti. Katahi ka haehae a Ataria i ona kakahu, ka karanga, He he, he he, te whakatakotoria nei!

And she looked, and, behold, the king [stood] in his place, and the princes and trumpets were at the entrance, and the princes were round the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded the trumpets, and there were the singers singing with instruments, and singing hymns of praise. and Gotholia rent her robe, and cried, ye surely are plotting against [me].

14 Na ka whakaputaina e Iehoiara tohunga nga rangatira rau, nga kaitohutohu ope ki waho, a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Mauria mai ia ki waenganui i nga rarangi; a ko te tangata e whai i muri i a ia, whakamatea ki te hoari; i mea hoki te tohunga, Kaua ia e whakamatea i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

And Jodae the priest went forth, and Jodae the priest charged the captains of hundreds, even the captains of the host, and said to them, Thrust her forth outside the house, and follow her, and let her be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.

15 Heoi whakawateatia ana he haerenga mona; na ka tae ia ki te tomokanga o te kuwaha hoiho i te taha o te whare o te kingi, whakamatea iho ki reira.

So they let her go [out]; and she went through the horsemen's gate of the house of the king, and they slew her there.

16 Na ka whakaritea e Iehoiara he kawenata, he mea nana, na te iwi katoa, ratou ko te kingi, kia meinga ratou hei iwi ma Ihowa.

And Jodae made a covenant between himself, and the people, and the king, that the people should be the Lord's.

17 Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki te whare o Paara, wahia iho e ratou; mongamonga noa i a ratou ana aata, ona ahua; patua iho hoki e ratou a Matana tohunga o Paara ki mua i nga aata.

And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore down it and its altars, and they ground his images to powder, and they slew Matthan the priest of Baal before his altars.

18 I whakarite kaitirotiro ano a Iehoiara mo te whare o Ihowa, he mea wehea nei e Rawiri ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa hei whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana a Ihowa, ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia i roto i te ture a Mohi; me te koa ano ratou, me te waiata; ko ta Rawiri hoki ia i whakarite ai.

And Jodae the priest committed the works of the house of the Lord into the and of the priests and Levites, and he re-established the courses of the priests and Levites which David appointed over the house of the Lord, and [he appointed them] to offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with gladness, and with songs by the hand of David.

19 I whakaturia ano e ia he kaitiaki kuwaha mo nga kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa, kei haere ki roto te tangata e poke ana i tetahi mea.

And the porters stood at the gates of the house of the Lord, that no one unclean in any respect should enter in.

20 Na tikina ana e ia nga rangatira rau, nga tangata nunui, ratou ko nga kawana o te iwi, ko te iwi katoa ano hoki o te whenua, a mauria iho ana e ratou te kingi i te whare o Ihowa ki raro; na haere ana ratou na to runga kuwaha ki te whare o te kin gi, a whakanohoia ana te kingi ki te torona o te kingitanga.

And he took the heads of families, and the mighty men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they conducted the king into the house of the Lord; and he went through the inner gate into the king's house, and they seated the king on the throne of the kingdom.

21 Heoi koa tonu te iwi katoa o te whenua, a marire noa iho te pa: a patua ana e ratou a Ataria ki te hoari.

And all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet: and they slew Gotholia.
