1Pea ʻi heʻene sio ʻe ʻAtalia ko e faʻē ʻa ʻAhasia kuo mate ʻa ʻene tama, naʻa ne tuʻu hake mo ne fakaʻauha ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻoe hau.
1When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs.
2Ka ko Sihosipa ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ko Solami, ko e tuofefine ʻo ʻAhasia, naʻe ʻave ʻa Soasa ko e foha ʻo ʻAhasia, mo ne ʻave fufū ia mei he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi; pea naʻa nau fufū ia meia ʻAtalia, ʻio, ʻaia mo ʻene fefine tauhi, ʻi he fale mohe, pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ai ia.
2But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah, and he was not killed.
3Pea naʻe fufū ʻakinaua ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono. Pea naʻe pule ʻa ʻAtalia ki he fonua.
3And Joash remained hidden with his nurse in the house of the LORD for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
4¶ Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata mo ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he taki toko teau, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau mo e kau leʻo, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu kiate ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne fai fuakava mo kinautolu, pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻenau lea fuakava ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae foha ʻoe tuʻi.
4Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards, and had them brought into the house of the LORD. There he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s son
5Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻae meʻa te mou fai; ʻe vahe tolu ʻakimoutolu ʻoku hū ange ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea ko homou vahe ʻe taha ʻe tauhi mo leʻohi ʻae fale ʻoe tuʻi;
5and commanded them, “This is what you are to do: A third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall guard the royal palace,
6Pea ko homou vahe ʻe taha ʻe ʻi he matapā ʻo Suli; pea ko e vahe ʻe taha ʻi he matapā ki mui ʻi he kau leʻo: ʻe pehē pe ʻa hoʻomou leʻohi ʻae fale ke ʻoua naʻa maumauʻi ia.
6a third shall be at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns guarding the temple—
7Pea ko hono vahe ua ʻokimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ʻe ʻanautolu ʻae tauhi mo e leʻohi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi.
7the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the king.
8Pea te mou nofo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi, pea toʻo ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa hono mahafu ʻi hono nima: pea ʻilonga ha taha ʻe Lakaatu ki loto, tuku ke tāmateʻi ia: pea te mou ʻi he tuʻi ʻi heʻene ʻalu kituʻa mo ʻene hū mai.”
8You must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
9Paʻa naʻe fai ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki: pea naʻa nau ʻave taki taha ʻa ʻene kau tangata ʻaia naʻe vahe ke hū mai ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea mo kinautolu naʻe vahe ke ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻaho tapu, ʻonau omi kia Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki.
9So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10Pea naʻe foaki ʻe he taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻae ngaahi tao mo e ngaahi pā ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
10Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of King David from the house of the LORD.
11Pea naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kau leʻo, ko e tangata taki taha mo ʻene mahafu ʻi hono nima, ʻo takatakai ʻi he tuʻi, mei he tuliki fakatoʻomataʻu ʻoe faletapu ʻo fai hake ki he tuliki fakatoʻohema ʻoe faletapu, ʻo vāofi mo e feilaulauʻanga pea mo e faletapu.
11And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
12Pea naʻa ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻae foha ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae tatā fakatuʻi kiate ia, mo ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae tohi ʻoe fono; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi, mo nau pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo; pea naʻa nau pasi nima, ʻonau pehē, “Ke moʻui pe ʻae tuʻi.”
12Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and declared, “Long live the king!”
13¶ Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻAtalia ki he longoaʻa ʻoe kau leʻo pea mo e kakai, naʻa ne haʻu ki he kakai ʻi he loto faletapu ʻo Sihova.
13When Athaliah heard the noise from the guards and the people, she went out to the people in the house of the LORD.
14Pea ʻi heʻene sio, vakai, naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻi he veʻepou, ʻo hangē ko hono anga, pea tutuʻu fakataha mo e tuʻi ʻae houʻeiki pea mo e kau tangata ifi meʻalea, pea naʻe fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pea naʻa nau ifi ʻae ngaahi meʻalea: pea naʻe haehae ʻe ʻAtalia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, pea ne kalanga, “Ko e lapa, ko e lapa.”
14And she looked out and saw the king standing by the pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
15Ka naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiata ko e taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ko e houʻeiki ki he kautau, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻave ia kituaʻā: pea ko ia ʻoku muimui ʻiate ia tuku ke tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā.” He kuo pehē ʻe he taulaʻeiki, “Ke ʻoua naʻa tāmateʻi ia ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.”
15And Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
16Pea naʻa nau puke nima ia; pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ko ia naʻe faʻa hū ai ʻae fanga hoosi ki he nofoʻanga ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻi ai.
16So they seized Athaliah as she reached the horses’ entrance to the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.
17¶ Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sihoiata ha fuakava ʻia Sihova pea mo e tuʻi pea mo e kakai, ke nau hoko ko e kakai ʻa Sihova ʻakinautolu; pea ʻi he tuʻi foki mo e kakai.
17Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.
18Pea naʻe hū atu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ki he fale ʻo Peali, pea naʻa nau maumau hifo ia; ʻa hono ngaahi feilaulauʻanga pea mo hono ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻa nau laiki ke ʻosi, pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Matani ko e taulaʻeiki ʻa Peali ʻi he muʻa feilaulauʻanga. Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he taulaʻeiki ʻae kau matāpule ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
18So all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
19Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e kau leʻo, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; pea naʻa nau ʻohifo ʻae tuʻi mei he fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he hala mo e matapā ʻoe kau leʻo. Pea naʻa ne nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
19He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then Joash took his seat on the royal throne,
20Pea naʻe fakafiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, pea naʻe nofo lelei pe ʻae kolo: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻa ʻAtalia ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻo ofi ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi.
20and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword at the royal palace.
21Pea naʻe fitu taʻu ʻe motuʻa ʻo Soasa ʻi heʻene kamata pule ʻaʻana.
21Joash was seven years old when he became king.
