¹And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

¹ A ciya mo, alwaato kaŋ Ahaziya nya Ataliya di kaŋ nga izo bu, kal a tun ka fuula bandey kulu wi.

²But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

² Amma Yehosaba, bonkoono Yoram izo, Ahaziya wayme na Ahaziya izo Yowasa sambu. A n'a zay ka kaa bonkoono izey kaŋ i wi yaŋ ra, nga nd'a hampakwa. A n'i daŋ mo kaniyaŋ fu fo ra. I n'a tugu Ataliya se mo hal i mana du k'a wi.

³And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

³ Nga nd'a go care banda tugante Rabbi windo ra kala jiiri iddu. Ataliya na laabo may.

⁴And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.

⁴ Jiiri iyyanta ra Yehoyda donton i ma zangu-zangu jine borey ce, da doogarey waney, da batukoy waney, i ma kand'ey nga do Rabbi windo ra. Nga nd'ey na sappa te, a n'i daŋ zeyaŋ Rabbi windo ra. A n'i cabe bonkoono izo mo.

⁵And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;

⁵ A n'i lordi ka ne: «Haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga te neeya: araŋ jare hinzanta kaŋ ga furo asibti hane ga ciya bonkoono windi batukoyaŋ.

⁶And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.

⁶ Jare fo ga kay Furoyaŋ Meyo do haray, jare fo mo windi meyo kaŋ go batukoy banda haray. Yaadin no araŋ ga haggoy da Rabbi windo batuyaŋ ka furu care gaa.

⁷And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.

⁷ Araŋ sata hinkanta mo koyne, sanda borey kaŋ yaŋ ga fatta ka zumbu asibti zaaro hane, i ga haggoy da Rabbi windo batuyaŋ ka bonkoono windi.

⁸And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.

⁸ Araŋ ma bonkoono windi, boro fo kulu nda nga wongu jinay nga kambe ra. Boro kaŋ furo araŋ sasareyaŋo ra kulu, i m'a wi. Wa goro mo bonkoono banda alwaati kaŋ a ga fatta da alwaati kaŋ a ga furo.»

⁹And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

⁹ Zangu-zangu jine borey goy hay kulu kaŋ Alfa Yehoyda n'i lordi boŋ. Afo kulu na nga borey sambu, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga furo asibti zaaro ra da ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga zumbu asibti zaaro hane; i kaa Alfa Yehoyda do.

¹⁰And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.

¹⁰ Alfaga mo na zangu-zangu jine borey no yaajiyaŋ da korayyaŋ kaŋ Dawda wane yaŋ no za doŋ, kaŋ go Rabbi windo ra mo.

¹¹And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.

¹¹ Batukoy mo kay, boro kulu nda nga wongu jinay nga kamba ra, za windo kambe ŋwaaro jarga, ka sargay feema kambo gana ka windi, ka koy ne-haray kambe wow jare fa gaa. I windi naŋ kaŋ haray bonkoono go.

¹²And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

¹² Saaya din Yehoyda fatta ka kande bonkoono izo. A na koytaray fuula daŋ a gaa k'a no seeda. I n'a didiji bonkooni, ka ji soogu a boŋ. I kobi ka ne: «Bonkoono aloomaro ma candi!»

¹³And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.

¹³ Alwaato kaŋ Ataliya maa batukoy da jama kosongo, a kaa borey do Rabbi windo ra.

¹⁴And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

¹⁴ A guna, kal a di bonkoono go ga kay bonjara do borey alaada boŋ, da hilli karkoyaŋ mo bonkoono do haray. I goono ga hilliyaŋ kar, laabo borey kulu go ga farhã. Saaya din Ataliya na nga bankaarayey tooru-tooru ka jinde sambu ka ne: «Amaana ŋwaari! Amaana ŋwaari!»

¹⁵But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.

¹⁵ Amma Alfa Yehoyda na jine borey lordi, zangu-zangu waney kaŋ yaŋ go wongu marga boŋ, ka ne i se: «W'a kaa taray soojey sasara ra. Boro kulu kaŋ n'a gana, i ma bora wi nda takuba.» (Zama alfaga* ci ka ne: «I ma s'a wi Rabbi windo ra.»)

¹⁶And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.

¹⁶ I n'a no fondo. Nga mo na fonda kaŋ bariyey ga furo nd'a bonkoono windo ra di, noodin no i n'a wi.

¹⁷And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD's people; between the king also and the people.

¹⁷ Yehoyda na sappa te Rabbi da bonkoono da borey game ra hal i ma ciya Irikoy boroyaŋ. A na afa te mo bonkoono nda jama game ra.

¹⁸And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.

¹⁸ Laabo borey kulu koy Baal diina windo do k'a zeeri ka sargay feemey da toorey kulu bagu-bagu. I na Baal alfaga Mattan wi sargay feemey jine. Alfaga mo na batukoyaŋ daŋ kaŋ ga Rabbi windo batu.

¹⁹And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

¹⁹ Zangu-zangu jine borey, da doogarey, da zajey, da laabo borey kulu, a n'i sambu i ma ma bonkoono zumandi a ma fun Rabbi windo ra. I kaa batukoy fonda meyo gaa hala ka koy bonkoono kwaara. Bonkoono mo goro koytaray karga boŋ.

²⁰And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.

²⁰ Laabo borey kulu mo soobay ka farhã, birno mo to nda laakal kanay. I na Ataliya wi da takuba bonkoono windo ra.

²¹Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.

²¹ Yehowasa te bonkooni, a gonda jiiri iyye.
