2 Seenaa 23

1 Yehooyaadaan waggaa torbaffaatti jabina ofii isaa ni argisiise. Innis ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa jechuunis Azaariyaa ilma Yirooham, Ishmaaʼeel ilma Yehohaanaan, Azaariyaa ilma Oobeed, Maʼaseyaa ilma Adaayaa fi Eliishaafaax ilma Zikrii wajjin kakuu seene.

And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

2 Isaanis guutummaa Yihuudaa keessa deemanii magaalaawwan hunda keessaa Lewwotaa fi hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼel walitti ni qaban. Yommuu isaan Yerusaalem gaʼanittis,

And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

3 waldaan guutuun mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessatti mooticha wajjin kakuu seene. Yehooyaadaanis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Akkuma Waaqayyo waaʼee sanyii Daawit waadaa gale sanatti, ilmi mootichaa mootii ni taʼa.

And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD has said of the sons of David.

4 Wanni isin gochuu qabdan isa kana: Isin lubootaa fi Lewwota guyyaa Sanbataa hojiitti ramadamtan keessaa harka sadii keessaa harki tokko karra,

This is the thing that you shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;

5 harka sadii keessaa harki tokko masaraa mootummaa, harka sadii keessaa harki tokko immoo karra ‘Karra Hundee’ jedhamu sana eegaa; namoonni kaan hundi immoo oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argamuu qabu.

And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.

6 Lubootaa fi Lewwota hojii irra jiran malee namni tokko iyyuu mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo hin seenin; isaan sababii qulqullaaʼaniif seenuu ni dandaʼu; warri kaan hundi garuu waan Waaqayyo isaan ajaje eeguu qabu.

But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

7 Lewwonni tokkoon tokkoon isaanii miʼa lolaa harkatti qabatanii mootichatti naannaʼanii dhadhaabachuu qabu. Namni mana qulqullummaa seenu kan biraa kam iyyuu haa ajjeefamu. Lafa inni dhaqu hundatti mootichatti dhiʼoo jiraadhaa.”

And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever else comes into the house, he shall be put to death: but be you with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out.

8 Lewwonnii fi namoonni Yihuudaa hundinuu akkuma Yehooyaadaan lubichi ajaje sana ni godhan. Sababii Yehooyaadaan lubichi gareewwan eegumsaa keessaa tokko illee gad hin dhiisiniif tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis namoota isaanii warra guyyaa Sanbataatiin hojiitti bobbaʼanii fi warra hojii irraa boqotan ni fudhatan.

So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.

9 Innis eeboowwan, gaachanawwan gurguddaa fi xixinnaa Daawit Mootichaa kanneen mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessa turan ajajjuuwwan dhibbaatiif ni kenne.

Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God.

10 Akka namoonni hundi miʼa lolaa harkatti qabatanii karaa kibba mana qulqullummaatii hamma karaa kaaba mana qulqullummaatti iddoo aarsaatii fi mana qulqullummaa biratti mootichatti naannaʼanii dhaabatan ni godhe.

And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

11 Yehooyaadaa fi ilmaan isaa ilma mootichaa fidanii mataa isaa irra gonfoo kaaʼan; isaanis garagalcha kakuu itti kennanii akka inni mootii taʼe ni labsan. Isa dibaniis, “Mootichi bara baraan haa jiraatu!” jedhanii ni iyyan.

Then they brought out the king’s son, and put on him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.

12 Ataaliyaan yommuu waca namoota fiiganii mooticha leellisanii dhageessetti, isaan bira gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhaqxe.

Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:

13 Yeroo isheen ilaaltetti mootichi balbala irra utubaa isaa bira dhaabatuu ni argite. Qondaaltonnii fi warri malakata afuufan mooticha bira turan; namoonni biyya sanaa hundinuus gammadanii malakata afuufaa turan; faarfattoonni immoo meeshaa muuziiqaatiin faarfannaa qajeelchaa turan. Kana irratti Ataaliyaan uffata ishee tarsaaftee, “Kun maltummaa dha! Kun maltummaa dha!” jettee iyyite.

And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

14 Yehooyaadaan lubichis, “Hiriira gidduudhaa baasaatii ishee fidaa; nama ishee irra dhufu kam iyyuu goraadeedhaan ajjeesaa” jedhee ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa kanneen kutaawwan loltootaa sana irratti ramadaman erge. Lubichi, “Mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti ishee hin ajjeesinaa” jedhee tureetii.

Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.

15 Kanaafuu isaan akkuma isheen karra “Karra Fardaa” jedhamu kan masaraa mootii duraa geesseen qabanii achumatti ishee ni ajjeesan.

So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there.

16 Yehooyaadaan akka inni, sabnii fi mootichis saba Waaqayyoo taʼaniif kakuu ni dhaabe.

And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.

17 Sabni hundinuu gara galma Baʼaal dhaqee diige. Isaanis iddoowwan aarsaatii fi waaqota tolfamoo caccabsanii Mataan lubicha Baʼaal sana illee iddoowwan aarsaa duratti ni ajjeesan.

Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

18 Ergasii Yehooyaadaan luboota Lewwota turan kanneen Daawit mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti ramadee ture sanatti itti gaafatamummaa mana qulqullummaa ni kenne; isaan akkuma Seera Musee keessatti barreeffame sanatti aarsaa gubamu Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessuu qabu; Daawit akka isaan gammachuu fi faarfannaadhaan aarsaa kana dhiʼeessan ajajee tureetii.

Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.

19 Akkasumas inni akka namni karaa kamiin iyyuu xuraaʼe tokko iyyuu ol hin seenneef balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dura eegdota ni dhaabe.

And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.

20 Innis ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa, namoota bebeekamoo, bulchitoota sabaa fi namoota biyyattii hunda fudhatee dhaqee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii mooticha gad baasee fide. Isaanis karaa, “Karra Ol aanu” jedhamuutiin masaraa mootummaa seenanii mooticha teessoo mootummaa irra teessisan.

And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

21 Saboonni biyyattii hundi ni ililchan; sababii Ataaliyaan goraadeedhaan ajjeefamteef magaalaan sun nagaa argatte.

And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
