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

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, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, [and hid] him and his nurse in the bedchamber; and they hid him 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 Jehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.

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

⁴And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains of the hundreds, of the bodyguard and the couriers, and brought them to him into the house of Jehovah, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and shewed 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 which ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, shall 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 couriers; and ye shall keep the watch of the house for a defence.

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 the two parts of you, all those that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah 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 encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that comes within the ranks shall be put to death; and ye shall be with the king when he goes out and when he comes 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 of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go forth on the sabbath, and they 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 the priest gave to the captains of the hundreds king David's spears and shields which were in the house of Jehovah.

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 couriers stood by the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, toward the altar and the house.

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, Long live 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 Athaliah heard the noise of the couriers [and] of the people; and she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.

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

¹⁴And she looked, and behold, the king stood on the dais, according to the custom, and the princes and the trumpeters were by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. And Athaliah rent her garments and cried, Conspiracy! Conspiracy!

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!»

¹⁵And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Lead her forth without the ranks; and whosoever follows her, slay with the sword; for the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of Jehovah.

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 made way for her, and she went by the way by which the horses entered the king's house, and there was she put to death.

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 Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be the people of Jehovah; and between the king 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.

¹⁸Then all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down: his altars and his images they broke in pieces completely, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Jehovah.

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 captains of the hundreds, and the bodyguard, and the couriers, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way through the gate of the couriers into the king's house. And he sat upon 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 quiet; and they had slain 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.

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

²¹ Yehowasa te bonkooni, a gonda jiiri iyye.
