Anden Krønikebog 23
1 Men i det syvende Aar tog Jojada Mod til sig og tog de Øverste over hundrede, nemlig Asaria, Jerohams Søn, og Ismael, Johanans Søn, og Asaria og Maefeja, Adajas Søn, Obeds Søn, og Elisafat, Sikris Søn, i Pagt med sig.
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada having been strengthened, he took the centurions, namely, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, and also Azariah, the son of Obed, and Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri, and he formed a pact with them.
2 Og de droge omkring i Juda og samlede Leviterne af alle Judas Stæder og Øversterne for Fædrenehusene iblandt Israel, og de kom til Jerusalem.
And traveling through Judah, they gathered together the Levites from all of the cities of Judah, and the leaders of the families of Israel, and they went to Jerusalem.
3 Og hele Forsamlingen gjorde en Pagt med Kongen i Guds Hus, og han sagde til dem: Se, Kongens Søn skal være Konge, saaledes som Herren sagde om Davids Sønner.
Then the entire multitude formed a pact with the king, in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them: “Behold, the son of the king shall reign, just as the Lord has said concerning the sons of David.
4 Dette er det, som I skulle gøre: Den tredje Part af eder, de, som træde til om Sabbaten af Præsterne og af Leviterne skulle være Portnere ved Dørtærsklerne.
Therefore, this is the word that you shall do:
5 Og den tredje Part skal være i Kongens Hus, og den tredje Part ved Grundporten; men alt Folket skal være i Herrens Hus's Forgaarde.
One third part of you who arrive on the Sabbath, priests, and Levites, and porters, shall be at the gates. Truly, one third part shall be at the house of the king. And one third shall be at the gate which is called the Foundation. Yet truly, let all the remainder of the common people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Men ingen skal komme ind i Herrens Hus uden Præsterne og Leviterne, som der tjene, de skulle gaa ind, thi de ere hellige; men alt Folket skal tage Vare paa, hvad Herren vil have varetaget.
Let no one else enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests, and those from the Levites who are ministering. These alone may enter, for they have been sanctified. And let all the remainder of the common people observe the watches of the Lord.
7 Og Leviterne skulle omgive Kongen trindt omkring, hver med sine Vaaben i sin Haand, og hvo som kommer til Huset, skal dræbes, men værer I hos Kongen, naar han gaar ind, og riaar han gaar ud.
Then let the Levites encircle the king, each one having his weapons. And if anyone else will have entered into the temple, let him be slain. And may they be with the king, both entering and departing.”
8 Og Leviterne og hele Juda gjorde efter alt det, som Jojada, Præsten, havde befalet, og de toge hver sine Mænd, som traadte til paa Sabbaten, tillige med dem, som traadte af paa Sabbaten; thi Jojada, Præsten, lod ikke Skifterne gaa bort.
Then the Levites, and all of Judah, acted in accord with all that the high priest Jehoiada had instructed. And each of them took the men who were under him, and who were arriving by the course of the Sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the Sabbath and who were about to depart. For indeed the high priest Jehoiada had not permitted the companies to depart, which were accustomed to replace one another each week.
9 Og Jojada, Præsten, gav de Øverste over hundrede Spyd og smaa Skjolde og andre Skjolde, som havde hørt Kong David til, og som vare i Guds Hus.
And Jehoiada, the priest, gave to the centurions the lances and round shields and crescent shields of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.
10 Og han opstillede alt Folket, saa hver havde sit Vaaben i sin Haand, fra den højre Side af Huset indtil den venstre Side af Huset, hen imod Alteret og hen imod Huset, hos Kongen, trindt omkring.
And he positioned all the people, holding short swords, from the right part of the temple to the left part of the temple, before the altar and the temple, all around the king.
11 Siden førte de Kongesønnen ud og satte Kronen paa ham og overgave ham Vidnesbyrdet og gjorde ham til Konge; og Jojada og hans Sønner salvede ham, og de sagde: Kongen leve!
And they led out the son of the king. And they imposed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they gave him the law to hold in his hand. And they appointed him as king. Also, the high priest Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. And they prayed for him, and said, “May the king live!”
12 Der Athalia hørte Røsten af Folket, som løb til og lovede Kongen, da kom hun til Folket i Herrens Hus.
And when Athaliah had heard it, specifically the sound of running and the praising of the king, she entered to the people in the temple of the Lord.
13 Og hun saa, og se, Kongen stod paa sin Forhøjning ved Indgangen, og de Øverste og Basunerne vare om Kongen, og alt Folket i Landet var glad og blæste i Basuner, og Sangerne vare til Stede med Sanginstrumenter, og de, som kundgjorde, at man skulde synge Lovsang; da sønderrev Athalia sine Klæder og sagde: Oprør! Oprør!
And when she had seen the king standing upon the step at the entrance, and the leaders and companies around him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets, and playing on instruments of various kinds, and the voice of those who were praising, she tore her garments, and she said: “Treason! Treason!”
14 Men Jojada, Præsten, lod de Øverste over hundrede, som vare beskikkede over Hæren, gaa ud og sagde til dem: Fører hende ud uden for Rækkerne, og hvo som følger hende, skal dræbes med Sværd; thi Præsten havde sagt: I skulle ikke dræbe hende i Herrens Hus.
Then the high priest Jehoiada, going out to the centurions and to the leaders of the army, said to them: “Lead her away, beyond the borders of the temple. And let her be put to death outside, with the sword.” And the priest instructed that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.
15 Og de gjorde Plads for hende til begge Sider, og hun kom til Indgangen til Hesteporten ved Kongens Hus, og de dræbte hende der.
And they laid hands on her neck. And when she had entered the gate for the horses at the king’s house, they put her to death there.
16 Og Jojada gjorde en Pagt imellem sig og imellem alt Folket og imellem Kongen, at de skulde være Herrens Folk.
Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between himself and the entire people, and the king, so that they would be the people of the Lord.
17 Siden gik alt Folket ind i Baals Hus og nedbrøde det og sønderbrøde hans Altre og hans Billeder, og de ihjelsloge Matthan, Baals Præst, for Altrene.
And so, all the people entered into the house of Baal, and they destroyed it. And they broke apart his altars and idols. Also, they put to death Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars.
18 Og Jojada beskikkede Tilsyn i Herrens Hus ved Præsterne, Leviterne, hvilke David havde fordelt til Herrens Hus, for at ofre Herren Brændofre, som skrevet er i Moses Lov, med Glæde og med Sang efter Davids Indretning.
Then Jehoiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests and Levites, whom David had distributed to the house of the Lord so that they might offer holocausts to the Lord, just as it was written in the law of Moses, with gladness and singing, in accord with the disposition of David.
19 Han beskikkede og Portnere ved Herrens Hus's Porte, at ingen, som var uren ved nogen Ting, maatte komme derind.
Also, he appointed porters at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that whoever was unclean for any reason would not enter.
20 Og han tog de Øverste over hundrede og de mægtige og dem, som herskede iblandt Folket, og alt Folket fra Landet, og han førte Kongen ned fra Herrens Hus, og de kom midt igennem den høje Port til Kongens Hus; og de satte Kongen paa den kongelige Trone.
And he took the centurions, and the most valiant men, and the leaders of the people, and all the common people of the land, and they set out to descend to the king, from the house of the Lord, and to enter through the middle of the upper gate, to the house of the king. And they placed him on the royal throne.
21 Og alt Folket fra Landet var glad, og Staden var rolig, efter at de havde dræbt Athalia med Sværdet.
And all the people of the land were rejoicing, and the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword.
