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.
In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him.
2 Isaanis guutummaa Yihuudaa keessa deemanii magaalaawwan hunda keessaa Lewwotaa fi hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼel walitti ni qaban. Yommuu isaan Yerusaalem gaʼanittis,
They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households 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.
All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning 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 must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
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.
A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house.
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 no one come into the LORD’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD’s instructions.
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.”
The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be 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 that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.
9 Innis eeboowwan, gaachanawwan gurguddaa fi xixinnaa Daawit Mootichaa kanneen mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa keessa turan ajajjuuwwan dhibbaatiif ni kenne.
Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
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.
He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.
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, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
12 Ataaliyaan yommuu waca namoota fiiganii mooticha leellisanii dhageessetti, isaan bira gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhaqxe.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house.
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.
Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore 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.
Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the LORD’s house.”
15 Kanaafuu isaan akkuma isheen karra “Karra Fardaa” jedhamu kan masaraa mootii duraa geesseen qabanii achumatti ishee ni ajjeesan.
So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
16 Yehooyaadaan akka inni, sabnii fi mootichis saba Waaqayyoo taʼaniif kakuu ni dhaabe.
Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and 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.
All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed 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.
Jehoiada appointed the officers of the LORD’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in the LORD’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
19 Akkasumas inni akka namni karaa kamiin iyyuu xuraaʼe tokko iyyuu ol hin seenneef balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dura eegdota ni dhaabe.
He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the LORD’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything 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.
He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the LORD’s house. They came through the upper gate to 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.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
