2 Ljetopisa 23
1 Sedme se godine Jojada ojunači i poče tražiti satnike: Jerohamova sina Azarju, Johananova sina Jišmaela, Obedova sina Azarju, Adajina sina Maaseju, Zikrijeva sina Elišafata, i sklopi s njima savez.
And in 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.
2 Počeše obilaziti po Judeji i skupiše levite iz svih judejskih gradova i obiteljske glavare u Izraelu te dođoše u Jeruzalem.
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Sav zbor sklopi savez s kraljem u Domu Božjem. Jojada im reče: “Gle, kraljev će sin kraljevati kao što je obećao Jahve za Davidove sinove.
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
4 Evo što valja da učinite: trećina vas koji subotom ulazite u službu, i svećenici i leviti, neka budu vratari na pragovima;
This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
5 trećina neka bude u kraljevskom dvoru, trećina na Jesodskim vratima, sav narod u predvorjima Doma Jahvina.
And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
6 Nitko neka ne ulazi u Dom Jahvin, osim svećenika i levita koji poslužuju; oni neka ulaze jer su posvećeni. Sav narod neka se drži Jahvine naredbe.
But let none come into the house of the LORD, except the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
7 Leviti neka okruže kralja, svaki s oružjem u ruci, i tko god pokuša ući u Dom neka bude pogubljen. Budite uz kralja kamo god pođe ili izađe.”
And the Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
8 Leviti i sav judejski narod učinili su sve onako kako je naredio svećenik Jojada. Svaki je uzeo svoje ljude koji subotom ulaze u službu s onima koji subotom izlaze. Jer svećenik Jojada nije otpustio redova.
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
9 Svećenik Jojada dade satnicima koplja, štitove i oklope kralja Davida što su bili u Božjemu Domu.
Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God.
10 Postavio je sav narod, svakoga s kopljem u ruci, od južne do sjeverne strane Doma, prema žrtveniku i prema Domu oko kralja unaokolo.
And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king on all sides.
11 Tada izvedoše kraljeva sina, staviše mu krunu na glavu, dadoše mu Svjedočanstvo i pomazaše ga za kralja. Tada Jojada i njegovi sinovi povikaše: “Živio kralj!”
Then they brought out the king’s son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
12 Kad Atalija ču viku naroda koji se skupio i hvalio kralja, dođe k narodu u Jahvin Dom.
Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
13 Pogleda bolje, kad gle, kralj stoji na svojem mjestu na ulazu, a pred kraljem zapovjednici i svirači; sav puk kliče od radosti i trubi u trube, pjevači pjevaju uz glazbala i predvode hvalospjeve. Tad Atalija razdrije haljine i povika: “Izdaja, izdaja!”
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
14 Svećenik Jojada naredi satnicima i vojnim zapovjednicima: “Izvedite je kroz redove napolje i tko krene za njom pogubite ga mačem!” Još je svećenik dodao: “Nemojte je smaknuti u Jahvinu Domu!”
Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Have her forth between the ranks: and whoever followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
15 Staviše ruke na nju i kad je kroz Konjska vrata stigla do kraljevskoga dvora, ondje je pogubiše.
So they laid hands on her; and when she had come to the entrance of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there.
16 Tada Jojada sklopi savez između Jahve, naroda i kralja da narod bude Jahvin.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’S people.
17 Potom sav narod otiđe u Baalov hram, razori ga skupa sa žrtvenicima i polomi likove; Baalova svećenika Matana ubiše pred žrtvenicima.
Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Zatim Jojada postavi straže kod Jahvina Doma pod nadzorom svećenika i levita, koje David bijaše porazdijelio za službu u Jahvinu Domu da bi Jahvi prinosili paljenice, kao što je pisano u Mojsijevu Zakonu, s veseljem i s pjesmama, kako uredi David.
Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
19 Postavio je i vratare na vratima Jahvina Doma da ne bi ulazio čovjek nečist od bilo čega.
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter.
20 Uzevši satnike, odličnike i uglednike u narodu i sav puk, izveo je kralja iz Jahvina Doma, a onda su ušli kroz gornja vrata u kraljevski dvor i posadili kralja na kraljevsko prijestolje.
And he 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 the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
21 Sav se puk veselio, a grad se umirio, jer su Ataliju ubili mačem.
And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
