2 Kingi 11

1 Na, i te kitenga o Ataria, whaea o Ahatia kua mate tana tama, whakatika ana ia, whakamotitia iho nga uri kingi katoa.

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

2 Otiia i mau a Iehohepa, tamahine a Kingi Iorama, tuahine o Ahatia ki a Ioaha tama a Ahatia, kahakina atu ana e ia i roto i nga tama a te kingi i whakamatea ra, raua ko tona kaihiki, a kawea ana ki te whare moenga; a huna ana ia e ratou i a Ataria, i kore ai ia e whakamatea.

But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons [who were] slain; and they hid him, [even] him and his nurse, in the bed-chamber, from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

3 Na i taua wahine ia i roto i te whare o Ihowa e piri ana, e ono nga tau: a ko Ataria te kuini o te whenua.

And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.

4 Na, i te whitu o nga tau ka unga tangata a Iehoiara ki te tiki i nga rangatira rau, o nga Kariti, o nga kaitiaki kingi, a mauria ana mai ratou ki a ia ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa. Na ka whakarite kawenata ia ki a ratou, ka whakaoati i a ratou i r oto i te whare o Ihowa, a whakakitea ana e ia te tama a te kingi ki a ratou.

And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took 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 showed them the king's son.

5 Na ka whakahau ia i a ratou, ka mea, Ko tenei ta koutou mea e mea ai: ko te toru o nga wehenga o koutou, o te hunga e haere ki roto i te hapati, hei tiaki i te whare o te kingi;

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 Ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te kuwaha o Huru; a ko tetahi o nga wehenga hei te kuwaha i muri i nga kaitiaki kingi: ma tena koutou e tiaki ai i te whare, hei arai atu.

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 Na kia rua nga matua o koutou, ko te hunga e haere ana ki waho i te hapati, hei tiaki i te whare o Ihowa i waho ake o te kingi.

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 Na me karapoti e koutou te kingi a tawhio noa, ko nga patu a tena, a tena ki tona ringa; a, ko te tangata e haere mai ki roto i nga rarangi, me whakamate: a hei te taha tonu koutou o te kingi i tona haerenga atu, i tona haerenga mai.

And ye shall compass the king around, 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 Na ka meatia e nga rangatira rau 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 hoki e haere ana ki waho i te hapati, a haere ana ki a Iehoiara tohunga.

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 A i hoatu e te tohunga ki nga rangatira rau nga tao me nga whakapuru tao a Kingi Rawiri; i roto hoki aua mea i te whare o Ihowa.

And to the captains over hundreds the priest gave king David's spears and shields, that [were] in the temple of the LORD.

11 Na tu ana nga kaitiaki kingi, 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, i nga taha o te aata, o te whare, a karapoti noa i te kingi.

And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, around the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, [along] by the altar and the temple.

12 Katahi ka whakaputaina mai e ia te tama a te kingi, potaea iho te karauna ki a ia, a hoatu ana ki a ia te whakaaturanga; na whakakingitia ana ia e ratou, whakawahia ana; na kei te pakipaki i o ratou ringa, me te karanga ano, Kia ora te kingi.

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 A, i te rongonga o Ataria i te reo o nga kaitiaki ratou ko te iwi, ka haere ia ki te iwi ki te whare o Ihowa.

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 Heoi ka titiro ia, na, ko te kingi e tu ana i te taha o te pou, ko te tikanga hoki tera, me nga rangatira ratou ko nga kaiwhakatangi tetere i te taha o te kingi: a, ko te iwi katoa o te whenua e koa ana, e whakatangi ana i nga tetere. Katahi a A taria ka haehae i ona kakahu, ka karanga, He he! he he, te whakatakotoria nei!

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 Na ka whakahau a Iehoiara tohunga ki nga rangatira rau, ki nga kaitohutohu i te ope, ka mea ki a ratou, Kawea mai ia ki waenga i nga rarangi; ko te tangata hoki e haere ana i muri i a ia me patu ki te hoari: i ki hoki te tohunga, Kaua ia e whaka matea i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said to 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 Heoi whakawateatia ana e ratou he ara mona; a haere ana ia i te huarahi e haere ai nga hoiho ki te whare o te kingi: a whakamatea iho ki reira.

And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.

17 Na ka whakaritea e Iehoiara he kawenata, he mea na Ihowa, ki te kingi ratou ko te iwi, kia meinga ratou hei iwi ma Ihowa; he mea hoki na te kingi ki te iwi.

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 Na haere ana te iwi katoa o taua whenua ki te whare o Paara, wahia iho e ratou; ko ana aata, ko ona ahua i wahia e ratou, mongamonga noa, patua iho hoki e ratou a Matana tohunga o Paara ki te ritenga atu o nga aata. I whakaritea hoki e te tohung a he kaitirotiro mo te whare o Ihowa.

And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images they broke wholly in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the the house of the LORD.

19 I mauria hoki e ia nga rangatira rau, ratou ko nga Kariti, ko nga kaitiaki kingi, me te iwi katoa o te whenua; na kawea iho ana e ratou te kingi ki raro i te whare o Ihowa, a haere ana na te huarahi ki te kuwaha o nga kaitiaki ki te whare o te k ingi. Na noho ana ia i runga i te torona o nga kingi.

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 Heoi koa katoa ana te iwi o te whenua, a marie noa iho te pa: a whakamatea ana e ratou a Ataria ki te hoari i te whare o te kingi.

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 E whitu nga tau o Iehoaha i a ia ka kingi nei.

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