< 2 Makoronike 23 >
1 Mugore rechinomwe Jehoyadha akaratidza simba rake. Akaita sungano navatungamiri vamapoka amazana: Azaria mwanakomana waJerohamu, Ishumaeri mwanakomana waJehohanani, Azaria mwanakomana waObhedhi, Maaseya mwanakomana waAdhaya naErishafati mwanakomana waZikiri.
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 Zikri, into covenant with him.
2 Vakaenda muJudha yose vakandokokorodza vaRevhi navakuru vemhuri dzavaIsraeri kubva kumaguta ose. Pavakauya kuJerusarema,
They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of ancestral houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 ungano yose yakaita sungano namambo patemberi yaMwari. Jehoyadha akati kwavari, “Mwanakomana wamambo achatonga sokuvimbisa kwakaita Jehovha maererano nezvizvarwa zvaDhavhidhi.
All the assembly made a covenant in the house of God with the king. And he showed them the king's son. And he said to them, "Look, the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah has spoken concerning the descendants of David.
4 Zvino izvi ndizvo zvamunofanira kuita: Chikamu chimwe chete muzvitatu chenyu vaprista navaRevhi vanoshanda neSabata vanofanira kurinda mikova,
This is the thing that you shall 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 chikamu chimwe chete muzvitatu pakati penyu kumuzinda wamambo, nechikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu pakati penyu pasuo renheyo, uye vamwe varume vose vanofanira kuva muzvivanze zvetemberi yaJehovha.
A third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of Jehovah's house.
6 Hapana anofanira kupinda mutemberi yaJehovha kunze kwavaprista navaRevhi vanenge vari pabasa, vanokwanisa kupinda havo nokuti ivo vakanatswa. Asi vamwe varume vose vanofanira kuchengetedza basa ravakapiwa naJehovha.
But let no one come into the house of Jehovah, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Jehovah's instructions.
7 VaRevhi vanofanira kumira vakakomba mambo, murume mumwe nomumwe aine zvombo zvake muruoko rwake. Ani naani zvake anopinda mutemberi anofanira kuurayiwa. Garai pedyo namambo kwose kwaanoenda.”
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 VaRevhi navarume vose veJudha vakaita sezvavakanga varayirwa naJehoyadha muprista. Mumwe nomumwe akatora vanhu vake vaifanira kupinda pabasa nokuti Jehoyadha muprista akanga asina kusunungura boka ripi zvaro.
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man 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 did not dismiss the shift.
9 Ipapo akapa vakuru vamapoka amazana mapfumo nenhoo huru nediki dzaiva dzaMambo Dhavhidhi dzaiva mutemberi yaMwari.
Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in God's house.
10 Akamisa varume vose panzvimbo, mumwe nomumwe aine chombo chake muruoko rwake, vakakomberedza mambo, pedyo nearitari netemberi, kubva kurutivi rwezasi kusvika kurutivi rwokumusoro kwetemberi.
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, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
11 Jehoyadha navanakomana vake vakaburitsa mwanakomana wamambo vakaisa korona paari, vakamupa gwaro resungano vakamugadza samambo. Vakamuzodza vakadaidzira vachiti, “Mambo ngaararame kwamakore akawanda!”
Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, "Long live the king."
12 Ataria paakanzwa ruzha rwavanhu vaimhanya vachipemberera mambo, akaenda kwavari patemberi yaJehovha.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah:
13 Akatarisa, akaona mambo akamira pambiru yake pavanopinda napo. Vakuru navaridzi vehwamanda vakanga vamire namambo. Uye vanhu vose venyika vakanga vachipembera vachiridza hwamanda uye vaimbi vaine zviridzwa vaitungamirira mukurumbidza. Ipapo Ataria akabvarura nguo dzake akadanidzira achiti, “Ndamukirwa! Ndamukirwa!”
and she looked, and, look, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and 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 Jehoyadha muprista akatuma vakuru vamapoka ezana, vaitungamirira varwi akati kwavari, “Muburitsei kunze pakati pavanhu, uye muuraye ani naani anenge amutevera.” Nokuti muprista akanga ati, “Musamuurayire patemberi yaJehovha.”
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, "Do not kill her in Jehovah's house."
15 Saka vakamubata paakasvika pamukova weSuo Ramabhiza pachivanze chomuzinda uye ipapo vakamuuraya.
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 Ipapo Jehoyadha akaita sungano yokuti iye navanhu namambo vachava vanhu vaJehovha.
Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovah's people.
17 Vanhu vose vakaenda kutemberi yaBhaari vakandoiparadza, vakaputsa aritari nezvifananidzo vakauraya Matani muprista waBhaari pamberi pearitari.
All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Ipapo Jehoyadha akaisa temberi yaJehovha mumaoko avaprista, vaiva vaRevhi vakanga vapiwa mabasa naDhavhidhi, omutemberi, okupisira zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvaJehovha sezvazvakanyorwa muMurayiro waMozisi, vachifara uye vachiimba, sokurayira kwakanga kwaitwa naDhavhidhi.
Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests and the Levites, and he appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.
19 Akamisazve vachengeti vamasuo pamasuo etemberi yaJehovha kuitira kuti pasawana uyo akanga asina kuchena nenzira ipi zvayo angapinda.
He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of Jehovah, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
20 Akaenda navatungamiri vamazana, makurukota navatongi vavanhu navanhu vose venyika vakandotora mambo kubva kutemberi yaJehovha. Vakapinda mumuzinda neSuo Rokumusoro vakagarisa mambo pachigaro choumambo,
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 Jehovah: and they came through the Upper Gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21 vanhu vose vomunyika vakapembera. Uye guta rakava norunyararo nokuti Ataria akanga aurayiwa nomunondo.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
