2 Kraljevima 11
1 Zato Ahazjina mati Atalija, vidjevši gdje joj sin poginu, ustade i posmica sav kraljevski rod.
Now, when, Athaliah, mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2 Ali Jošeba, kći kralja Jorama i sestra Ahazjina, uze Ahazjina sina Joaša; ukravši ga između kraljevih sinova koje su ubijali, metnu ga s dojiljom u ložnicu. Tako ga je sakrila od Atalije te nije pogubljen.
But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were being slain—him and his nurse, into the bedchamber, —so she hid him from the face of Athaliah, that he was not slain.
3 Bio je sakriven u Domu Jahvinu šest godina, sve dok je zemljom vladala Atalija.
And he was with her, in the house of Yahweh, hiding himself, six years, —while, Athaliah, was reigning over the land.
4 Sedme godine Jojada posla po satnike Karijaca i tjelesnu stražu i pozva ih k sebi u Dom Jahvin. Sklopi s njima savez, zakle ih i pokaza im kraljeva sina.
But, in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent and took the captains over hundreds, of the Carian body-guard, and of the runners, and brought them unto him, in the house of Yahweh, —and, when he had solemnised a Covenant with them, and put them on oath, in the house of Yahweh, then shewed he them the king’s son;
5 I reče im: “Evo što valja da učinite: trećina vas koji subotom ulazite u službu neka čuva stražu kod kraljevskoga dvora.
and commanded them, saying—This, is the thing which ye must do, —A third part of you, will be coming in on the sabbath, and keeping the watch of the house of the king;
6 Druga trećina, ona kod Surskih vrata, i treća trećina, ona kod stražnjih stražarskih vrata, neka čuvaju stražu kod ulaza u dvor;
and, a third, in the side-gate; and, a third, in the gate behind the runners, —so shall ye keep the watch of the house, by turns.
7 a ostala dva vaša odreda, svi koji subotom izlaze iz službe, neka čuvaju stražu u Domu Jahvinu kod kralja.
And, two parts of you, are all that are going out on the sabbath, —so shall ye keep the watch of the house of Yahweh, as touching the king.
8 Tako ćete okružiti kralja, svaki s oružjem u ruci. I tko god pokuša proći kroz vaše redove, neka bude pogubljen. Budite uz kralja kamo god pođe ili izađe.”
Thus shall ye encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand, and, he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain, —so be ye with the king, when he cometh out and when he goeth in.
9 Satnici su učinili sve kako im je naredio svećenik Jojada. Svaki je od njih uzeo svoje ljude koji subotom ulaze u službu s onima koji subotom izlaze. I svi su došli svećeniku Jojadi.
And the captains of hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and they took every man his men who were coming in on the sabbath, with them who were going out on the sabbath, —and came unto Jehoiada the priest.
10 Svećenik dade satnicima koplja i štitove kralja Davida što su bili u Domu Jahvinu.
And the priest gave unto the captains of hundreds the spears and the shields which belonged to King David, —which were in the house of Yahweh.
11 Stražari se svrstaše, s oružjem u ruci, od južne do sjeverne strane Doma i prema žrtveniku i Domu oko kralja unaokolo.
And the runners stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right corner of the house, as far as the left corner of the house, by the altar and the house, —near the king, round about.
12 Tada Jojada izvede sina kraljeva, stavi mu krunu i dade mu Svjedočanstvo te ga pomaza za kralja. Pljeskali su i vikali: “Živio kralj!”
Then brought he forth the king’s son, and set upon him the crown, and the testimony, and they made him king, and anointed him, —and clapped their hands, and said—May the king live!
13 Kad Atalija ču viku naroda, dođe k narodu u Dom Jahvin.
And, when Athaliah heard the noise of the runners, the people, then came she in unto the people, in the house of Yahweh,
14 Pogleda bolje, kad gle, kralj, po običaju, stoji na svojem mjestu, a pred kraljem zapovjednici i svirači; sav puk klikće od radosti i trubi u trube. Tad Atalija razdrije haljine i povika: “Izdaja! Izdaja!”
and looked, and lo! the king, standing by the pillar, as the custom was, and the captains and the trumpeters, by the king, and, all the people of the land, rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, —so Athaliah rent her garments, and cried out—Conspiracy! conspiracy!
15 Svećenik Jojada naredi satnicima i vojnim zapovjednicima: “Izvedite je kroz redove i tko krene za njom pogubite ga mačem.” Još je svećenik dodao: “Nemojte je smaknuti u Domu Jahvinu.”
And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds—officers of the force, and said unto them—Take her forth into the inside of the ranks, and, he that cometh in after her, [ye are] to slay with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain, in the house of Yahweh.
16 Staviše ruke na nju; a kad je kroz Konjska vrata stigla do kraljevskog dvora, ondje je pogubiše.
So they made way for her, and she entered the road by which the horses approached the house of the king, and was slain there.
17 Tada Jojada sklopi savez između Jahve, kralja i naroda da narod bude narod Jahvin.
And Jehoiada solemnised a covenant between Yahweh, and the king, and the people, that they should become a people unto Yahweh, —also between the king and the people.
18 Potom sav narod ode u Baalov hram i razoriše ga, porušiše žrtvenike i polomiše likove; a Baalova svećenika Matana ubiše pred žrtvenicima. A svećenik opet postavi straže kod Doma Jahvina.
And all the people of the land entered the house of Baal, and brake it down, his altars and his images, brake they in pieces, utterly, and, Mattan the priest of Baal, they slew before the altars, —and the priest appointed officers over the house of Yahweh.
19 Zatim uze satnike Karijaca, stražu i sav narod. Oni izvedoše kralja iz Doma Jahvina i uvedoše ga u dvor kroz Vrata stražarska. I Joaš sjede na kraljevsko prijestolje.
And he took the captains of hundreds and the Carian bodyguard, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king out of the house of Yahweh, and they came, by way of the gate of the runners, into the house of the king, —and he took his seat on the throne of the kings;
20 Sav se puk veselio i grad se smirio kad su Ataliju ubili mačem u kraljevskom dvoru.
and all the people of the land rejoiced, and, the city, had rest, —when they had put, Athaliah, to death with the sword, in the house of the king.
21 Joašu je bilo sedam godina kad se zakraljio.
Seven years old, was Jehoash, when he began to reign.
