2 Mga Hari 11

1 Nang makita nga ni Athalia na ina ni Ochozias na ang kaniyang anak ay patay, siya'y tumindig at nilipol ang lahat na lahing hari.

When King Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.

2 Nguni't kinuha ni Josaba, na anak na babae ng haring Joram, na kapatid na babae ni Ochozias, si Joas na anak ni Ochozias, at kinuhang lihim siya sa gitna ng mga anak ng hari na nangapatay, siya, at ang kaniyang yaya, at inilagay sila sa silid na tulugan; at kaniyang ikinubli siya kay Athalia, na anopa't siya'y hindi napatay.

So Ahaziah’s sons were all about to be murdered. But Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s half-sister, took Ahaziah’s [very young] son Joash and hid him and (his nursemaid/the woman who took care of him) in a bedroom [in the temple]. So he was not killed.

3 At siya'y nakakubling kasama niya sa bahay ng Panginoon na anim na taon: at si Athalia ay naghari sa lupain.

He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].

4 At nang ikapitong taon, si Joiada ay nagsugo, at kinuha ang mga punong kawal ng dadaanin, sa mga Cariteo, at sa bantay, at ipinagsama niya sa bahay ng Panginoon; at siya'y nakipagtipan sa kanila, at pinasumpa sila sa bahay ng Panginoon, at ipinakita sa kanila ang anak ng hari;

But during the next year, Jehoiada the Supreme Priest summoned the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards and the palace guards. He told them to come to the temple. There he required them to solemnly promise that they would do what he told them to do. And he showed King Ahaziah’s son Joash to them.

5 At kaniyang iniutos sa kanila, na sinasabi, ito ang bagay na inyong gagawin: ang ikatlong bahagi ninyo na papasok sa sabbath ay magiging bantay sa bahay ng hari;

He gave them these instructions: “There are three groups of you guards. When one group finishes their work on the Sabbath day, [divide yourselves into] three smaller groups. One group must guard the palace.

6 At ang ikatlong bahagi ay malalagay sa pintuang-bayan ng Sur; at ang ikatlong bahagi ay sa pintuang-bayan sa likod ng bantay: gayon kayo magbabantay sa bahay, at magiging hadlang.

Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.

7 At ang dalawang pulutong ninyo, sa makatuwid baga'y ang lahat na nagsilabas sa sabbath, ay magbabantay ng bahay ng Panginoon sa palibot ng hari.

The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].

8 At inyong kukulungin ang hari sa palibot, na bawa't isa'y may dalang kaniyang mga sandata sa kaniyang kamay; at ang pumasok sa hanay, patayin: at kayo'y magsiabay sa hari pagka siya'y lumalabas, at pagka siya'y pumapasok.

You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”

9 At ginawa ng mga punong kawal ng dadaanin ang ayon sa lahat na iniutos ni Joiada na saserdote: at kinuha ng bawa't lalake ang kaniyang mga lalake, yaong nagsisipasok sa sabbath na kasama ng mga nagsisilabas sa sabbath, at nagsiparoon kay Joiada na saserdote.

The officers [who supervised the guards] did what Jehoiada told them to do. Each one brought to Jehoiada the guards that he supervised—the guards who were just finishing their work and those who were about to start their work on the Sabbath day.

10 At ibinigay ng saserdote sa mga punong kawal ng dadaanin ang mga sibat at ang mga kalasag na naging sa haring David, na nangasa bahay ng Panginoon.

The priest distributed to the commanders of the guards the spears and shields that had belonged to King David, that were kept/stored in the temple.

11 At ang bantay ay tumayo, bawa't isa'y may kaniyang mga sandata sa kaniyang kamay, mula sa dakong kanan ng bahay hanggang sa dakong kaliwa ng bahay, sa siping ng dambana at ng bahay, sa siping ng hari sa palibot.

Then he commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each one with his sword in his hand, all around the young king.

12 Nang magkagayo'y inilabas niya ang anak ng hari, at inilagay niya ang putong sa kaniya, at binigyan siya ng patotoo; at ginawa nila siyang hari, at pinahiran siya ng langis; at kanilang ipinakpak ang kanilang mga kamay, at nagsipagsabi, Mabuhay ang hari.

Then he brought Joash out. He put the crown on his head and gave him a scroll on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey]. Then he poured some olive oil on Joash’s head and proclaimed that he was now the king. The people all clapped their hands and shouted, “We desire/hope that the king will live for many years!”

13 At nang marinig ni Athalia ang ingay ng bantay at ng bayan, ay naparoon siya sa bayan sa loob ng bahay ng Panginoon.

When Athaliah heard the noise that was being made by the guards and the other people, she ran to the temple, where the people were gathered.

14 At siya'y tumingin, at, narito, ang hari ay nakatayo sa siping ng haligi ayon sa kaugalian, at ang mga punong kawal at ang mga pakakak sa siping ng hari; at ang buong bayan ng lupain ay nagalak, at humihip ng mga pakakak. Nang magkagayo'y hinapak ni Athalia ang kaniyang kasuutan, at humiyaw Paglililo! paglililo!

She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and [some of] them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes [to show her distress] and shouted, “You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!”

15 At si Joiada na saserdote ay nagutos sa mga punong kawal ng dadaanin na nalalagay sa hukbo, at nagsabi sa kanila, Palabasin ninyo siya sa pagitan ng mga hanay, at ang sumunod sa kaniya, patayin ng tabak: sapagka't sinabi ng saserdote, Huwag patayin siya sa bahay ng Panginoon.

Jehoiada [immediately] said, “Kill her, but do not kill her here at the temple of Yahweh! Take her away between two rows of guards. And kill anyone who tries to rescue her!”

16 Sa gayo'y binigyang daan nila siya, at siya'y naparoon sa daan na pinapasukan ng mga kabayo sa bahay ng hari; at doon siya pinatay.

[She tried to flee, but] the guards seized her and took her to the palace, to the place where horses enter the courtyard. They killed her there.

17 At si Joiada ay nakipagtipan sa Panginoon at sa hari at sa bayan, na sila'y magiging bayan ng Panginoon; gayon din sa hari at sa bayan.

Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between the king and the people, that they would always (obey/be faithful to) Yahweh. He also made an agreement requiring the people to be loyal to Joash their king.

18 At ang buong bayan ng lupain ay naparoon sa bahay ni Baal, at ibinagsak; ang kaniyang mga dambana at ang kaniyang mga larawan ay pinagputolputol nilang mainam, at pinatay si Mathan na saserdote ni Baal sa harap ng mga dambana. At ang saserdote ay naghalal ng mga katiwala sa bahay ng Panginoon.

Then all the people of Israel who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and the statues of Baal. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars. Jehoiada stationed/put guards at the temple of Yahweh.

19 At kaniyang ipinagsama ang mga punong kawal ng mga dadaanin, at ang mga Cariteo, at ang bantay, at ang buong bayan ng lupain; at kanilang ibinaba ang hari mula sa bahay ng Panginoon, at nagsipagdaan sa pintuang-bayan ng bantay hanggang sa bahay ng hari. At siya'y naupo sa luklukan ng mga hari.

Then he and the officers of the temple, the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards, and the king’s bodyguards brought the king from the temple to the palace. All the people [followed them]. Joash entered the palace at the Guard Gate and sat down on the throne, [which showed that he was the new king].

20 Sa gayo'y ang buong bayan ng lupain ay nagalak, at ang bayan ay tahimik. At pinatay nila ng tabak si Athalia sa bahay ng hari.

All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.

21 Si Joas ay may pitong taon nang magpasimulang maghari.

Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
