¹Ary tamin'ny taona fahafito Joiada nitombo hery ka nanao fanekena tamin'ny mpifehy zato, dia Azaria, zanak'i Jerohama, sy Isimaela, zanak'i Johanana, sy Azaria, zanak'i Obeda, sy Mahaseia, zanak'i Adaia, ary Elisafata, zanak'1 Zikry.

¹In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

²Ary nitety an'i Joda Ireo ka namory ny Levita avy tany amin'ny tanànan'ny Joda rehetra sy ny lohan'ny fianakaviana tamin'ny Isiraely, dia tonga tany Jerosalema ireo.

²They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

³Ary ny olona rehetra vory tao dia nanao fanekena tamin'ny mpanjaka tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra. Ary hoy Joiada taminy: Indro, ny zanaky ny mpanjaka no hanjaka araka ny efa nolazain'i Jehovah ny amin'ny taranak'i Davida.

³All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. He said to them, “Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.

⁴Izao no hataonareo: ny ampahatelonareo izay milatsaka amin'ny Sabata, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita, ho mpiandry varavarana;

⁴This is the thing that you shall do. A third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds.

⁵ary ny ampahatelonareo ho ao an-tranon'ny mpanjaka; ary ny ampahatelonareo ho eo amin'ny vavahadin'ny fanorenana; ary ny vahoaka rehetra kosa dia ho eo amin'ny kianjan'ny tranon'i Jehovah.

⁵A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of Yahweh’s house.

⁶Fa aza avela hisy hiditra ao an-tranon'i Jehovah afa-tsy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita izay manao fanompoam-pivavahana ihany; ireo ihany no hiditra, satria masina ireo; fa ny vahoaka rehetra kosa dia hitandrina izay nasain'i Jehovah hotandremana.

⁶But let no one come into the house of Yahweh, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Yahweh’s instructions.

⁷Ary ny Levita hanemitra manodidina ny mpanjaka, samy mitana ny fiadiany avy; ka na iza na iza miditra ao an-trano dia Vonoy, ary arahonareo ny mpanjaka, na miditra na mivoaka izy.

⁷The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out.”

⁸Ary ny Levita sy ny Joda rehetra dia nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian'i Joiada mpisorona azy, ka samy nitondra ny olom-peheziny izay nilatsaka tamin'ny Sabata sy izay niala tamin'ny Sabata izy; fa Joiada mpisorona tsy nandrava ny antokony.

⁸So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath; with those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.

⁹Ary nomen'i Joiada mpisorona ho an'ny mpifehy zato ny lefona sy ny ampinga kely sy ny ampinga lehibe, izay an'i Davida mpanjaka ka tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra.

⁹Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.

¹⁰Ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia nalahany, samy nitana ny fiadiany avy hanodidina ny mpanjaka hatramin'ny lafiny ankavavan'ny trano ka hatramin'ny lafiny ankavia, hatramin'ny alitara ka hatramin'ny trano.

¹⁰He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.

¹¹Dia nentiny nivoaka ny zanakalahin'ny mpanjaka ka nampisatrohiny ny satro-boninahitra, sady notolorany ny teni-vavolombelona, ka dia nampanjakainy. Ary Joiada sy ny zanany nanosotra azy ka niantso hoe: Ho ela velona anie ny mpanjaka! [Dia ny Didy Folo]

¹¹Then they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, “Long live the king!”

¹²Ary nony ren'i Atalia ny tabataban'ny vahoaka nifamoivoy sy niarahaba ny mpanjaka, dia mba nankao amin'ny vahoaka tao an-tranon'i Jehovah koa izy.

¹²When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:

¹³Ary hitany fa, indro, ny mpanjaka nitsangana teo amin'ny fitoeran'andriana teo amin'ny fidirana, ary ny mpanapaka sy ny mpitsoka ny trompetra dia teo anilan'ny mpanjaka; ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia nifaly sady nitsoka ny trompetra ary ny mpihira amin'ny zava-maneno isan-karazany no nitarika ny hira fiderana. Dia nandriatra ny fitafiany Atalia ka niantso hoe: Fikomiana! fikomiana!

¹³and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”

¹⁴Fa nasain'i Joiada navoaky ny kapiteny! mpifehy ny miaramila, izy, ka hoy izy tamin'ireo: Avoahy eny ivelan'ny filaharana izy, ary izay manaraka azy dia vonoy amin'ny sabatra. Fa ny mpisorona efa nandrara hoe: Aza vonoina eto an-tranon'i Jehovah izy.

¹⁴Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the Yahweh’s house.”

¹⁵Ary ny olona nisava teo an-daniny roa, dia nankamin'ny fidirana amin'ny vavahadin-tsoavaly ravehivavy ka niditra tao an-tranon'ny mpanjaka; dia novonoiny teo izy.

¹⁵So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.

¹⁶Ary Joiada nampanao fanekena ny vahoaka rehetra sy ny mpanjaka mbamin'ny tenany mba ho olon'i Jehovah.

¹⁶Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.

¹⁷Ary ny vahoaka vehetra niditra tao an-tranon'i Bala ka nandrava azy; ny alitara sy ny endri-javatra dia notorotoroiny avokoa, ary Matana, mpisoron'i Bala, novonoiny teo anoloan'ny alitara.

¹⁷All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

¹⁸Ary Joiada nanendry olona hitandrina ny tranon'i Jehovah hofehezin'ny Levita mpisorona izay nozarazarain'i Davida ho ao an-tranon'i Jehovah, hanatitra ny fanatitra dorana ho an'i Jehovah, araka ny voasoratra ao amin'ny lalàn'i Mosesy, amin'ny fifaliana sy ny fihirana, dia araka ny nasain'i Davida natao.

¹⁸Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Yahweh under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Yahweh, to offer the burnt offerings of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.

¹⁹Ary nalatsany teo am-bavahadin'ny tranon'i Jehovah ny mpiandry varavarana mba tsy hisy zavatra maloto na inona na inona ho tafiditra ao.

¹⁹He set the porters at the gates of the house of Yahweh, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.

²⁰Dia nalainy ny mpifehy zato sy ny olona manan-kaja sy ny mpanapaka ny olona ary ny vahoaka rehetra; ary dia nentiny nidina avy tao an-tranon'i Jehovah ny mpanjaka, ka ny vavahady ambony no nalehany hankao an-tranon'ny mpanjaka; ary nametraka ny mpanjaka teo amin'ny seza fiandrianan'ny fanjakana izy.Dia nifaly ny vahoaka rehetra; ary nandry fahizay ny tanana, fa Atalia efa novonoiny tamin'ny sabatra.

²⁰He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Yahweh: and they came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

²¹Dia nifaly ny vahoaka rehetra; ary nandry fahizay ny tanana, fa Atalia efa novonoiny tamin'ny sabatra.

²¹So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
