2 Chronicles

23

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.
1Nak yô chic xcuuk chihab xmukbal laj Joás, laj Joiada laj tij quixtakla xbokbaleb li cuînk aßin li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldados: laj Azarías li ralal laj Jeroham, laj Ismael li ralal laj Johanán, laj Azarías li ralal laj Obed, laj Maasías li ralal laj Adaía ut laj Elisafat li ralal laj Zicri. Nak queßcuulac riqßuin laj Joiada queßxcßûb ru cßaßru teßxbânu ut queßxbânu li juramento saß xcßabaß li Dios.
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.
2Queßcôeb saß eb li tenamit Judá ut queßxchßutubeb laj levita ut eb li nequeßjolomin reheb li junjûnk cabal saß chixjunileb li tenamit. Nak queßcuulac Jerusalén,
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.
3chixjunileb li chßutchßûqueb aran queßxbânu jun li contrato riqßuin li rey saß lix templo li Kâcuaß. Laj Joiada quixye reheb: —Cueß li ralal li rey. Aßan tâoc chokß rey joß quixye li Kâcuaß chirixeb li ralal xcßajol laj David.
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.
4Anakcuan bânuhomak chi joßcaßin: Têcauresi oxib chßûtal chi cuînk. Li jun chßûtal lâex aj tij ut lâex aj levita lix texcßanjelak saß li hilobâl cutan. Texcßacßalênk saß eb li oquebâl re li templo.
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.
5Li xcab chßûtal teßcßacßalênk saß li rochoch li rey ut rox chßûtal teßcßacßalênk saß li oquebâl li cuan cuiß li cimiento. Ut chixjunileb li tenamit teßcuânk saß eb li nebâl re lix templo li Kâcuaß.
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.
6Mâ ani naru tâoc saß li templo. Caßaj eb cuiß laj tij ut eb laj levita li yôqueb chi cßanjelac. Eb aßan naru nequeßoc xban nak ac santobresinbileb chi cßanjelac. Chixjunileb li cuînk li jun chßol chic teßcßacßalênk joß quixye li Kâcuaß.
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.”
7Li rey Joás sutsûk xbaneb laj levita nak tâêlk ut nak cuânk saß li templo. Ut cuânk xchßîchßeb re pletic saß rukßeb. Ut li ani tâoc saß li templo tâcamsîk.—
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.
8Eb laj levita ut chixjunileb li cuînk aj Judá queßxbânu joß quiyeheß reheb xban laj Joiada laj tij. Queßxcßam chixjunileb li soldados li nequeßcßacßalen saß li hilobâl cutan joß eb ajcuiß li incßaß teßcßanjelak chiru li hilobâl cutan. Laj Joiada laj tij mâ jun quixqßue xlesêns chi hilânc.
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.
9Chirix aßan laj Joiada quixqßue reheb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li junjûnk chßûtal chi soldado eb lix lâns ut li chßîchß li nequeßxcol cuiß re xchßôleb, joß li nînki chßîchß, joß li cocß. Li chßîchß aßan, aßan li queßcßanjelac re li rey David, li xocxôqueb saß lix templo li Dios.
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.
10Quixtzolobeb chixjunileb li soldado saß xnaßajeb saß li templo. Jun tzol quixqßueheb saß li nim ut jun tzol quixqßueheb saß li tzße. Ut cuan quixqßueheb chi xcßatk li artal. Li junjûnk cuan xchßîchßeb saß rukßeb re xcolbal li rey.
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!”
11Nak cuanqueb saß xnaßajeb li soldado, laj Joiada ut eb li ralal queßrisi chak laj Joás li ralal laj Ocozías. Queßxqßue li corona saß xjolom. Ut queßxqßue saß rukß li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß li chakßrab. Queßxqßue li aceite saß xjolom ut queßxxakab chokß xreyeb. Ut queßxjap reheb chixyebal: —¡Chicuânk taxak xyußam li karey! chanqueb.
12When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:
12Nak lix Atalía quirabi nak li tenamit yôqueb chi âlinac ut yôqueb chixjapbal reheb re xqßuebal xlokßal li rey, cô saß junpât saß lix templo li Kâcuaß, li chßutchßûqueb cuiß li tenamit.
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!”
13Quiril li rey xakxo chixcßatk li rokechal li templo li cuan saß li oquebâl li nequeßxxakab cuiß ribeb li rey. Laj Joás sutsu xbaneb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldados joß eb ajcuiß li nequeßxyâbasi li trompetas. Eb li tenamit yôqueb chixjapbal reheb xban xsahil xchßôleb ut yôqueb chixyâbasinquil li trompetas. Eb laj bichanel yôqueb chixchßeßbaleb lix cuajb ut yôqueb chi cßamoc be chixlokßoninquil li Dios. Lix Atalía quixpej li rakß ut quixjap re chixyebal: —¡Xineßxbalakßi! chan.
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.”
14Laj Joiada quixbokeb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldados ut quixye reheb: —Isihomak lix Atalía saß lix nebâl li templo ut camsihomak li ani tâtâkênk re, chan. Quixye chi joßcan xban nak incßaß quiraj nak tâcamsîk saß li templo.
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.
15Eb li soldados queßxchap lix Atalía ut queßxcßam saß li oquebâl re li palacio li nequeßnumeß cuiß li cacuây. Ut aran queßxcamsi.
16Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.
16Ut laj Joiada quixbânu jun li contrato. Saß li contrato quixye nak aßan ut eb li tenamit joß ajcuiß li rey teßxqßue xchßôl chi cuânc chokß xtenamit li Dios.
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.
17Chixjunileb li tenamit queßcôeb saß lix templo li yîbanbil dios Baal ut queßxjucß. Queßxjucß ajcuiß chixjunileb li artal ut eb li yîbanbil dios. Ut queßxcamsi chiru li artal laj Matán laj tij li quicßanjelac chiru laj Baal.
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.
18Ut laj Joiada quixxakabeb laj tij ut eb laj levita chixjolominquil li cßanjel saß li templo. Eb aßan queßxbânu li cßanjel joß quixye li rey David junxil. Ut queßxcßat li mayej chiru li Kâcuaß joß tzßîbanbil retalil saß lix chakßrab laj Moisés. Ut queßbichan ajcuiß chi sa saß xchßôleb joß quiyeheß chak reheb xban laj David.
19He set the porters at the gates of the house of Yahweh, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
19Ut laj Joiada quixqßueheb ajcuiß li teßcßacßalênk saß eb li oquebâl re lix templo li Kâcuaß re nak incßaß teßoc li incßaß santobresinbileb.
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.
20Chirix aßan laj Joiada quixcßam rochben eb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldado, eb li cuanqueb xcuanquil ut eb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li tenamit, joß eb ajcuiß chixjunileb li tenamit. Queßrisi li rey Joás saß lix templo li Kâcuaß. Ut queßxcßam saß li palacio. Queßoc saß li nimla oquebâl. Ut queßxcßojob li rey Joás saß li cßojaribâl li nequeßcßojla cuiß eb li rey.Chixjunileb li tenamit saheb saß xchßôleb ut queßcuan chic saß xyâlal xban nak ac xcamsîc lix Atalía.
21So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
21Chixjunileb li tenamit saheb saß xchßôleb ut queßcuan chic saß xyâlal xban nak ac xcamsîc lix Atalía.
