2 Kronická 23
1 Léta pak sedmého posilnil se Joiada, a pojal s sebou v smlouvu setníky, Azariáše syna Jerochamova, a Izmaele syna Jochananova, a Azariáše syna Obédova, a Maaseiáše syna Adaiášova, a Elizafata syna Zichri,
After Joash had been hidden in the temple for six years, Jehoiada the priest decided that it was necessary to do something. So he made an agreement with the army commanders of groups of 100 soldiers: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zicri.
2 Kteříž obcházejíce zemi Judskou, shromáždili Levíty ze všech měst Judských, a přední z otcovských čeledí Izraelských, a přišli do Jeruzaléma.
They went throughout Judah and gathered the descendants of Levi and the leaders of Israeli families from all the towns. When they came to Jerusalem,
3 I učinilo všecko to shromáždění smlouvu v domě Božím s králem. Byl pak jim řekl Joiada: Aj, syn králův kralovati bude, jakož mluvil Hospodin o synech Davidových.
the whole group went to the temple and made an agreement with the young king there. Jehoiada said to them, “This is the son of the previous king of Judah. So he is the one who must rule, like Yahweh promised that the descendants of King David must do.
4 Tatoť jest věc, kterouž učiníte: Třetí díl vás, kteříž přicházíte v sobotu z kněží a z Levítů, budou vrátnými.
“So this is what you must do: One-third of you priests and other descendants of Levi who are starting their work on the Sabbath day must guard the doors [of the temple].
5 Třetí pak díl bude při domě královu, a třetí díl u brány přední, ale všecken lid bude v síních domu Hospodinova.
One-third of you must guard the king’s palace, and one-third of you must guard the Foundation Gate. All the other people will be in the courtyards outside the temple.
6 Aniž kdo vcházej do domu Hospodinova kromě kněží a těch Levítů, kteříž konají služby. Ti ať vcházejí, nebo svatí jsou, všecken pak lid ať drží stráž Hospodinovu.
Only the priests and the descendants of Levi who work there will enter the temple. They will be allowed to enter the temple because they are set apart [for that work]. All the others must remain in the courtyards, obeying what Yahweh has commanded.
7 I obstoupí Levítové krále vůkol, jeden každý maje braň svou v rukou svých, a kdož by koli všel do domu, ať umře. A buďte při králi, když bude vcházeti, i když bude vycházeti.
You descendants of Levi must stand around the young king, each of you with your weapon in your hand. Anyone else who tries to enter the temple you must kill. And stay close to the young king, wherever he goes.”
8 Tedy učinili Levítové a všecken Juda všecko, cožkoli přikázal Joiada kněz, a vzali jeden každý muže své, kteříž přicházeli v sobotu, a kteříž odcházeli v sobotu; nebo byl nepropustil Joiada kněz žádné střídy.
So the descendants of Levi and all [the men of] Judah did what Jehoiada had told them. He did not allow anyone to go home after having finished his work on that Sabbath day. Each commander took charge of his men, the ones who were finishing their work on that day and those who were starting their work on that day.
9 I dal Joiada kněz setníkům kopí a pavézy i štíty, kteříž byli krále Davida, jenž byli v domě Božím.
Then Jehoiada gave each of the commanders the spears and the large and small shields that had been put there in the temple by King David.
10 A postavil všecken lid, (a jeden každý měl braň v ruce své), od pravé strany domu až do levé strany domu, proti oltáři a proti domu, při králi všudy vůkol.
He commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each with his sword in his hand, all around the king—around the altar and the temple, from the north side to the south side.
11 A tak vyvedli syna králova, a vstavili na něj korunu královskou a ozdobu. I ustanovili jej králem, a pomazali ho Joiada a synové jeho, a říkali: Živ buď král!
Then Jehoiada and his sons brought Joash out. They put a crown on his head and gave him [a scroll] on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey], and proclaimed that he was now the king. They anointed him with olive oil and shouted, “We hope that the king will live for many years!”
12 V tom uslyševši Atalia hřmot sbíhajícího se lidu, a chválícího krále, vešla k lidu do domu Hospodinova.
When Athaliah heard the noise being made by the people running [toward the king] and cheering, she ran to the temple.
13 A když pohleděla, a aj, král stál na místě vyšším, kudyž se vchází, a knížata i trubači podlé krále, a všecken lid země veselící se, a zvučící na trouby, a zpěváci s nástroji hudebnými, a ti, kteříž předčili v zpívání. Tedy roztrhla Atalia roucho své, a řekla: Spiknutí, spiknutí!
She saw the young king there, standing alongside the pillar at the entrance of the temple, [which is the place at the temple] where the kings usually stood. The army commanders and trumpet players were standing beside the king, and all the people of Judah were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and singers with their musical instruments were leading the people while they praised God. Then Athaliah tore her robes and started screaming, “You are committing treason!”
14 Ale Joiada kněz rozkázal vyjíti setníkům, hejtmanům vojska, řka jim: Vyveďte ji prostředkem řadů, a kdož by za ní šel, ať jest zabit mečem. Nebo byl řekl kněz: Nezabijejte jí v domě Hospodinově.
Jehoiada the Supreme Priest said to the army commanders, “Kill her, but do not kill her at the temple of Yahweh!” Then he said to them, “Bring Athaliah out in front of the troops and kill anyone who tries to follow her!”
15 A když se jí rozstoupili s obou stran, šla, kudy se chodí k bráně koňské k domu královskému, a tu ji zabili.
[She tried to flee, but] they seized her as she reached the gate where horses enter the palace area, and they killed her there.
16 Tedy Joiada učinil smlouvu mezi Hospodinem a mezi vším lidem, i mezi králem, aby byli lid Hospodinův.
Then Jehoiada made an agreement that he and the king and all the other people would be Yahweh’s people.
17 Potom šel všecken lid do domu Bálova a zbořili jej i oltáře jeho, a obrazy stroskotali. Matana pak kněze Bálova zabili před oltáři.
Then all the people who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars [of Baal]. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars.
18 I uvedl zase Joiada úředníky domu Hospodinova pod moc kněží a Levítů, kteréž byl rozdělil David v domě Hospodinově, aby obětovali zápaly Hospodinu, (jakož psáno jest v zákoně Mojžíšově), s veselím a zpíváním podlé nařízení Davidova.
Then Jehoiada appointed the priests, who were also descended from Levi, to work at the temple. They were part of the group to whom King David had given various jobs at the temple, to sacrifice the animals that were to be completely burned on the altar, doing what was written in the laws that Moses had given to them. He also told them to rejoice and sing, which was also what David had commanded.
19 Postavil také vrátné u vrat domu Hospodinova, aby tam nevcházel poškvrněný jakoužkoli věcí.
He also put guards at the gates of the temple in order that anyone who was unacceptable to God would not be allowed to enter.
20 A pojav setníky a znamenitější, a ty, kteříž správu drželi nad lidem, i všecken lid země, provázel krále z domu Hospodinova. I šli branou hořejší do domu královského, a posadili krále na stolici královské.
Jehoiada took with him the army commanders, the important men, the leaders and many others, and brought the king down from the temple. They went into the palace through the Upper Gate, and put the king on his throne.
21 I veselil se všecken lid země, a město se upokojilo, jakž Atalii zabili mečem.
Then all the people of Judah rejoiced. And there was calm throughout the city, because Athaliah had been killed.
