1 I n the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong. He made an agreement with the captains of hundreds. These captains were Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Johanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri. They made an agreement with Jehoiada.

Na i te whitu o nga tau ka whakanuia e Iehoiara he kaha mona; i riro hoki i a ia nga rangatira rau, a Ataria tama a Ierohama, a Ihimaera tama a Iehohanana, a Ataria tama a Opere, a Maaheia tama a Araia, a Erihapata tama a Tikiri, hei hoa mona, me a rawa ki te kawenata.

2 A nd they went through Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities. They gathered the heads of the fathers’ houses of Israel. And they came to Jerusalem.

Na haereerea ana e ratou a Hura a taka noa, huihuia ana e ratou nga Riwaiti i roto i nga pa katoa o Hura, ratou ko nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o Iharaira, a haere ana ratou ki Hiruharama.

3 T hen all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. Jehoiada said to them, “See, the king’s son will rule, as the Lord has spoken about the sons of David.

Na ka whakarite kawenata te whakaminenga katoa ki te kingi i roto i te whare o te Atua. I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Nana, hei kingi te tama a te kingi, hei pera me ta Ihowa i korero ai mo nga tama a Rawiri.

4 T his is what you must do. One third of you religious leaders and Levites who come in on the Day of Rest will watch the gates.

Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai; ko te tuatoru o nga wehenga o koutou e haere mai ana i te hapati, ara o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, hei kaitiaki mo nga kuwaha;

5 O ne third will be at the king’s house, and one third at the Gate of the Foundation. And all the people will be in the open places of the house of the Lord.

Ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te whare o te kingi; ko tetahi o nga wehenga e toru hei te kuwaha o te turanga; ko te iwi katoa hoki hei nga marae o te whare o Ihowa.

6 B ut let no one come into the house of the Lord except the religious leaders and the Levite helpers. They may come in, for they are holy. But let all the other people obey the law against going into the holy place of the Lord.

Kaua ia tetahi e tomo ki te whare o Ihowa, ko nga tohunga anake, ratou ko te hunga o nga Riwaiti e minita ana; ko ratou e haere ki roto, no te mea he tapu ratou. Ko te iwi katoa ia hei tiaki i nga mea a Ihowa.

7 T he Levites will stand around the king. Each one will have his spear in his hand. And whoever goes into the house will be killed. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”

Na me karapoti te kingi e nga Riwaiti a tawhio noa; hei tona ringa ano te patu a tenei, a tenei; a ki te tomo tetahi ki te whare, me whakamate. Hei te taha tonu koutou o te kingi i tona haerenga mai, i tona haerenga atu.

8 T he Levites and all Judah did all that Jehoiada the religious leader told them. Each one of them took his men who were to come in on the Day of Rest, with those who were to go out on the Day of Rest. For Jehoiada the religious leader did not send away any of the groups.

Na ka meatia e nga Riwaiti, e Hura katoa nga mea katoa i whakahaua e Iehoiara tohunga; a ka mau ratou ki ana tangata, ki ana tangata, ki nga mea e haere ana ki roto i te hapati, ki te hunga ano e haere atu ana ki waho i te hapati; kihai hoki a Ie hoiara tohunga i tuku i nga wehenga kia haere.

9 T hen Jehoiada the religious leader gave the captains of hundreds the spears and the large and small battle-coverings that had been King David’s, which were in the house of God.

A i homai e Iehoiara tohunga ki nga rangatira rau nga tao, nga pukupuku, me nga whakapuru tao a Kingi Rawiri; i roto hoki era i te whare o te Atua.

10 A nd he put all the people in their places around the king. Each man had his spear in his hand. They were put in their places from the right side of the house to the left side, around the altar and the house.

I whakaturia ano e ia te iwi katoa, me a ratou patu i te ringa o tenei, o tenei, i te koki ki matau o te whare, tae noa ki te koki ki maui o te whare, ki nga taha o te aata, o te whare, hei karapoti mo te kingi.

11 T hen they brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him. They gave him the Law, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons poured oil on him and said, “Long live the king!” Death of Athaliah

Katahi ka whakaputaina e ratou te tama a te kingi, potaea iho ki a ia te karauna; a homai ana te whakaaturanga ki a ia, na whakakingitia ana ia e ratou; a na Iehoiara ratou ko ana tama ia i whakawahi, me ta ratou karanga, Kia ora te kingi.

12 W hen Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came into the house of the Lord to the people.

A, no te rongonga o Ataria i te nge o te iwi e rere ana, e whakamoemiti ana ki te kingi, ka haere ia ki te iwi, ki te whare o Ihowa.

13 S he looked and saw the king beside his pillar at the gate. The captains and those who blew the horns were beside the king. And all the people of the land were filled with joy and blew horns. The singers were playing music and leading the praise. Athaliah tore her clothes and called out, “They are turning against the queen!”

A ka titiro ia, na ko te kingi e tu ana i te taha o tona pou i te tomokanga, ko nga rangatira ano me nga tetere i te taha o te kingi; a ko te iwi katoa o te whenua e koa ana, e whakatangi ana i nga tetere; ko nga kaiwaiata hoki e whakatangi ana i nga mea rangi waiata, e arahi ana i te waiata whakamoemiti. Katahi ka haehae a Ataria i ona kakahu, ka karanga, He he, he he, te whakatakotoria nei!

14 T hen Jehoiada the religious leader brought out the captains of hundreds who were over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out from among the groups of people. And kill with the sword whoever follows her.” For the religious leader said, “Do not kill her in the house of the Lord.”

Na ka whakaputaina e Iehoiara tohunga nga rangatira rau, nga kaitohutohu ope ki waho, a ka mea ia ki a ratou, Mauria mai ia ki waenganui i nga rarangi; a ko te tangata e whai i muri i a ia, whakamatea ki te hoari; i mea hoki te tohunga, Kaua ia e whakamatea i roto i te whare o Ihowa.

15 S o they took hold of her. And when she came to the Horse Gate of the king’s house, they killed her there.

Heoi whakawateatia ana he haerenga mona; na ka tae ia ki te tomokanga o te kuwaha hoiho i te taha o te whare o te kingi, whakamatea iho ki reira.

16 T hen Jehoiada made an agreement between himself and all the people and the king, that they should be the Lord’s people.

Na ka whakaritea e Iehoiara he kawenata, he mea nana, na te iwi katoa, ratou ko te kingi, kia meinga ratou hei iwi ma Ihowa.

17 A ll the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They broke in pieces his altars and the objects made to look like him. And they killed Mattan the religious leader of Baal in front of the altars.

Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki te whare o Paara, wahia iho e ratou; mongamonga noa i a ratou ana aata, ona ahua; patua iho hoki e ratou a Matana tohunga o Paara ki mua i nga aata.

18 T hen Jehoiada put the duties of the Lord’s house under the care of the religious leaders and the Levites. David had chosen them to take care of the Lord’s house. They were to give the burnt gifts of the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses. It was to be done with joy and singing, as David had told them.

I whakarite kaitirotiro ano a Iehoiara mo te whare o Ihowa, he mea wehea nei e Rawiri ki roto ki te whare o Ihowa hei whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana a Ihowa, ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia i roto i te ture a Mohi; me te koa ano ratou, me te waiata; ko ta Rawiri hoki ia i whakarite ai.

19 A nd Jehoiada put the gate-keepers in their places of the Lord’s house. This was so no one would go in who was in any way unclean.

I whakaturia ano e ia he kaitiaki kuwaha mo nga kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa, kei haere ki roto te tangata e poke ana i tetahi mea.

20 T hen he took the captains of hundreds, the princes, the leaders of the people, and all the people of the land. And they brought the king down from the house of the Lord. They came through the high gate to the king’s house. And they placed the king upon the throne of the nation.

Na tikina ana e ia nga rangatira rau, nga tangata nunui, ratou ko nga kawana o te iwi, ko te iwi katoa ano hoki o te whenua, a mauria iho ana e ratou te kingi i te whare o Ihowa ki raro; na haere ana ratou na to runga kuwaha ki te whare o te kin gi, a whakanohoia ana te kingi ki te torona o te kingitanga.

21 S o all the people of the land were filled with joy, and the city was quiet. For they had killed Athaliah with the sword.

Heoi koa tonu te iwi katoa o te whenua, a marire noa iho te pa: a patua ana e ratou a Ataria ki te hoari.
