Anden Kongebog 11
1 Der Athalia, Ahasias Moder, saa, at hendes Søn var død, da gjorde hun sig rede og udryddede al kongelig Sæd.
Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom put to death.
2 Men Joseba, Kong Jorams Datter, Ahasias Søster, tog Joas, Ahasias Søn, og stjal ham midt ud af Kongens Børn, som bleve dræbte, ham og hans Amme i Sengekammeret; og de skjulte ham for Athalias Ansigt, saa at han ikke blev dræbt.
But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.
3 Og han var hos hende i Herrens Hus skjult i seks Aar; men Athalia var Dronning i Landet.
And for six years she kept him safe in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah was ruling over the land.
4 Men i det syvende Aar sendte Jojada og tog de øverste over hundrede for Livvagten og Drabanterne og lod dem komme til sig i Herrens Hus; og han gjorde en Pagt med dem og tog en Ed af dem i Herrens Hus og viste dem Kongens Søn.
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.
5 Og han bød dem og sagde: Dette er den Gerning, som I skulle gøre: Den tredje Part af eder, som træde til om Sabbaten, skal holde Vagt imod Kongens Hus.
And he gave them orders, saying, This is what you are to do: the third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the king's house,
6 Og den tredje Part skal være ved Porten Sur og den tredie Part ved Porten, som er bag Drabanterne, og I skulle holde Vagt for Huset for at afspærre det.
7 Men de to Parter af eder, nemlig alle, som træde fra om Sabbaten, de skulle holde Vagt i Herrens Hus om Kongen.
And the two divisions of you, who go out on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the house of the Lord,
8 Og I skulle omringe Kongen trindt omkring, enhver med sine Vaaben i sin Haand, og hvo som trænger ind igennem Rækkerne, skal dødes; og I skulle være hos Kongen, naar han gaar ud, og naar han gaar ind.
Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.
9 Og de øverste for hundrede gjorde efter alt det, som Jojada, Præsten, bød, og de toge hver sine Mænd, som traadte til om Sabbaten, tillige med dem, som traadte fra om Sabbaten, og de kom til Præsten Jojada.
And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.
10 Og Præsten gav Høvedsmændene for hundrede Spydene og Skjoldene, som havde hørt Kong David til, og som vare i Herrens Hus.
And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's, and which were kept in the house of the Lord.
11 Og Drabanterne stode, hver med sine Vaaben i sin Haand, fra den højre Side af Huset til den venstre Side af Huset, hen imod Alteret og Huset, trindt omkring Kongen.
Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house.
12 Siden førte han Kongens Søn ud og satte Kronen paa ham og overgav ham Vidnesbyrdet, og de gjorde ham til Konge og salvede ham, og de klappede i Hænderne og sagde: Kongen leve!
Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.
13 Der Athalia hørte Drabanternes og Folkets Røst, da kom hun til Folket i Herrens Hus.
Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;
14 Og hun saa, og se, da stod Kongen paa Forhøjningen, som Skik var, og Fyrsterne og Basunerne vare om Kongen, og alt Folket i Landet var glad og blæste i Basunerne; da sønderrev Athalia sine Klæder og raabte: Oprør! Oprør!
And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!
15 Men Jojada, Præsten, bød de øverste over hundrede, som vare beskikkede over Hæren, og sagde til dem: Fører hende ud hen uden for Rækkerne, og hvo som følger hende, dræber ham med Sværd; thi Præsten havde sagt, at hun ikke skulde dræbes i Herrens Hus.
Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to those who were placed in authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword, for he said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
16 Og de gjorde Plads for hende til begge Sider, og hun gik den Vej, ad hvilken Hestene gaa til Kongens Hus, og hun blev dræbt der.
So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the horses, and there she was put to death.
17 Da gjorde Jojada en Pagt imellem Herren og imellem Kongen og Folket, at de skulde være Herrens Folk, og imellem Kongen og imellem Folket.
And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people; and in the same way between the king and the people.
18 Da kom alt Folket i Landet ind i Baals Hus, og de nedbrøde hans Altre, og hans Billeder sønderbrøde de aldeles og sloge Matthan, Baals Præst, ihjel lige for Altrene; men Præsten beskikkede Tilsyn i Herrens Hus.
Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.
19 Og han tog de øverste over hundrede og Livvagten og Drabanterne og alt Folket fra Landet, og de førte Kongen ned fra Herrens Hus og kom ad Vejen igennem Drabanternes Port til Kongens Hus; og han satte sig paa Kongernes Trone.
Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.
20 Og alt Folket i Landet var glad, og Staden blev rolig, efter at de havde slaget Athalia ihjel med Sværd i Kongens Hus.
So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.
21 Joas var syv Aar gammel, der han blev Konge.
And Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.
