¹अतल्याह अहज्याहकी आमा थिइन। उनले देखिन, उनको छोरा मर्यो। तब उनी उठिन अनि सबै राजाको परिवारलाई मारिन्।

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

²यहोशेबा राजा योरामकी छोरी र अहज्याहकी बहिनी थिइ। योआश राजाका छोराहरू मध्ये एक जना थिए। यहोशेबाले योआशलाई आफूसंग लिएर गयो जब सबै अरू नानीहरू मरिसकेका थिए। योहोशापातले योआश र उसको धाईलाई एउटा सुत्ने कोठामा लुकाइन ताकि अतल्याले तिनीहरूलाई नभेटाउन। यसरी योआश मारिएन।

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.

³तब योआश र यहोशेबा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा लुके। योआश त्यहाँ छ वर्ष लुके। अनि अतल्याहले यहूदा भूमिमा शासन गरिन्।

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

⁴सातौं वर्षमा प्रमुख पूजाहारी यहोयादाले खबर पठाए र करीतो र रक्षकहरूका सेनापतिहरू आए। यहोयादाले तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याए। तब यहोयादाले तिनीहरूसँग एउटा सम्झौता गरे। मन्दिरमा यहोयादाले तिनीहरूलाई शपथ खान वाध्य गराए। तब उनले तिनीहरूलाई राजाको छोरा (योआश) देखाए।

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.

⁵तब यहोयादाले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा आदेश पठाए। उसले भने तिमीहरूले यो काम अवश्यै गर्नु पर्छ, “तिमीहरूमध्येको एक तिहाइ यो हप्ता काममा अवश्यै राजमहलको रक्षा गर्नलाई बस्नुपर्छ।

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;

⁶तिमीहरूमध्ये अर्को एक तिहाइ शूरद्वारमा हुनेछन्। र अर्को एक तिहाइ रक्षकहरू पछिको द्वारको पछाडी हुनेछ। यसप्रकार तिमीहरूले घरको चारैतिर सुरक्षा प्रदान गर्नेछौ।

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.

⁷दुई दल जो त्यस हप्तामा विश्राममा छन् तिनीहरूले मन्दिरको सुरक्षा र राजा यहो यहोशेबाको रक्षा गर्नुपर्छ।

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.

⁸तिमी अवश्य नै सब समय राजासँग बस्नु ऊ कुनै ठाउँ जाँदा पनि। सबै समूहहरूले राजालाई घेरेर राख्नु पर्छ। प्रत्येक रक्षकले आफ्नो हातमा आफ्नो हतियार राख्नु पर्छ। अनि तिमीले त्यो मानिसलाई मार्नु पर्छ जो तिम्रो साह्रै नजिक आउँछ।”

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.

⁹सेनापतिले सबै आदेशको पालन गरे जो येहोयादा पूजाहारीले आदेश गरेका थिए। प्रत्येक सेनापतिले आफ्ना मानिसहरू लिए। तिनीहरू सबै आए, जो त्यस हप्ता काममा थियो वा काममा थिएन। सबै मानिसहरू पूजाहारी योहोयदा कहाँ गए।

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.

¹⁰अनि पूजाहारीले सेनापतिहरूलाई भाला र ढाल दिए। ती भाला र ढालहरू दाऊदले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखेका थिए।

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

¹¹ती रक्षकहरू मन्दिरको दाहिने कुनादेखि देब्रे कुनासम्म आफ्ना हातहरूमा हतियार लिएर उभिएका थिए। तिनीहरू वेदी अनि राजाको वरिपरि उभिए। जब उनी मन्दिरमा गए।

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.

¹²ती मानिसहरूले योआशलाई बाहिर निकाले। तिनीहरूले योआशलाई राजमुकुट पहिराए अनि राजा र परमप्रभुबीच हुने करार गराए। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई अभिषेक गरे अनि नयाँ राजा बनाए। तिनीहरूले थप्पडी बजाए अनि घोषणा गरे, “राजा दीर्घायु होऊन।”

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.

¹³रानी अतल्याहले रक्षकहरू र मानिसहरूको ध्वनी सुनिन्, यसकारण उनी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा मानिसहरूसमक्ष गइन।

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

¹⁴अतल्याहले खाँबोको छेउमा राजालाई देखिन जहाँ साधारण मानिसहरु उभिने गर्दथे। उनले अगुवाहरू र मानिसहरूलाई पनि देखिन् जो राजाका लागि तुरही फुक्दै थिए। उनले देखिन्, सबै मानिसहरू औधी खुशी थिए। उनले तुरहीको ध्वनि सुनिन् अनि आफूलाई खिन्न बनाउन उनले आफ्नो लुगा च्यातिन्। तब अतल्याह चिच्याइन, “राजद्रोह! राजद्रोह!”

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.

¹⁵यहोयादा पूजाहारीले सेनापतिहरूलाई आदेश दिए, तिनीहरू सैनिकका अधिकारी हुन। यहोयादाले उनीहरूलाई भने, “अतल्याहलाई मन्दिरको इलाकाबाट बाहिर लैजाउ। उनका सबै अनुयाईहरूलाई मार। तर परमप्रभुको मन्दिरभित्र तिनीहरूलाई नमार।”

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.

¹⁶यसकारण सैनिकहरूले अतल्यालाई पक्रिए। तिनीहरूले उनलाई मारे जति बेला उनी घोडशालाको द्वार हुँदै महलमा गइन।

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.

¹⁷तब यहोयादाले परमप्रभु, राजा र मानिसहरूबीच एउटा करार गरे। यस करारमा भनिएकोछ, राजा र मानिसहरू परमप्रभुका हुन। यहोयादाले राजा र मानिसहरूबीच पनि सम्झौता गराए। यस सम्झौताले भनिएको छ मानिसहरूका लागि राजाले के गर्नुपर्छ। अनि यो भनिएको छ मानिसहरूले राजाको आज्ञाको पालन गर्नुपर्छ अनि अनुसरण गर्नुपर्छ।

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.

¹⁸तब सबै मानिसहरू झूठो देवता बालको मन्दिरमा गए। मानिसहरूले बालको मूर्तिहरूलाई तल झारीदिए र वेदी भत्काइदिए। र तिनीहरूले उनको वेदी तोडिदिए। तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई धेरै टुक्रा पारे। मानिसहरूले बालका पूजारी मतनलाई पनि वेदीको सामु मारे। यसप्रकार पूजाहारी यहोयादाले मानिसहरूलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिर हेरचाहा गर्न लगाए।

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.

¹⁹पूजाहारीले सबै मानिसहरूलाई बाटो देखाए। तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट राजाको महलमा गए। राजाका विशेष रक्षकहरू र सेनापति राजासँगै गए। अनि अरू सबै मानिसहरूले उनीहरूको अनुसरण गरे। तिनीहरू राजाको घरको प्रवेशद्वारमा पुगे। तब राजा योआश सिंहासनमा बसे।

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.

²⁰सबै मानिसहरू प्रसन्न थिए। शहर स्थिर र शान्त थियो। र रानी अतल्यालाई राजाको महलको नजिक तरवारद्वारा मारिएको थियो।

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.

²¹योआश सात वर्षका थिए जब तिनी राजा बने।

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