Anden Krønikebog 23
1 Men i det syvende Aar tog Jojada Mod til sig og indgik Pagt med Hundredførerne Azarja, Jerohams Søn, Jisjmael, Johanans Søn, Azarja, Obeds Søn, Ma'aseja, Adajas Søn, og Elisjafat, Zikris Søn.
And in the seventh year hath Jehoiada strengthened himself, and taketh the heads of the hundreds, even Azariah son of Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, with him into covenant.
2 De drog Juda rundt og samlede Leviterne fra alle Judas Byer og Overhovederne for Israels Fædrenehuse, og de kom saa til Jerusalem.
And they go round about in Judah, and gather the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of Israel, and come in unto Jerusalem,
3 Saa sluttede hele Forsamlingen i Guds Hus en Pagt med Kongen. Og Jojada sagde til dem: »Se, Kongesønnen skal være Konge efter det Løfte, HERREN har givet om Davids Sønner!
and all the assembly make a covenant in the house of God with the king, and he saith to them, 'Lo, the son of the king doth reign, as Jehovah spake concerning the sons of David.
4 Og saaledes skal I gøre: Den Tredjedel af eder Præster og Leviter, der rykker ind om Sabbaten, skal tjene som Dørvogtere;
'This [is] the thing that ye do: The third of you, going in on the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [are] for gatekeepers of the thresholds,
5 den anden Tredjedel skal besætte Kongens Palads og den tredje Jesodporten, medens alt Folket skal besætte Forgaardene til HERRENS Hus.
and the third [are] at the house of the king, and the third at the gate of the foundation, and all the people [are] in the courts of the house of Jehovah.
6 Men ingen maa betræde HERRENS Hus undtagen Præsterne og de Leviter, der gør Tjeneste; de maa gaa derind, thi de er hellige; men hele Folket skal holde sig HERRENS Forskrift efterrettelig.
'And none doth enter the house of Jehovah except the priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for they [are] holy), and all the people keep the watch of Jehovah:
7 Saa skal Leviterne, alle med Vaaben i Haand, slutte Kreds om Kongen, og enhver, der nærmer sig Templet, skal dræbes. Saaledes skal I være om Kongen, naar han gaar ind, og naar han gaar ud.«
and the Levites have compassed the king round about, each with his weapon in his hand, and he who hath gone in unto the house is put to death; and be ye with the king in his coming in and in his going out.'
8 Leviterne og alle Judæerne gjorde alt, hvad Præsten Jojada havde paabudt, idet de tog hver sine Folk, baade dem, der rykkede ud, og dem, der rykkede ind om Sabbaten, thi Præsten Jojada gav ikke Skifterne Orlov.
And the Levites and all Judah do according to all that Jehoiada the priest hath commanded, and take each his men going in on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest hath not let away the courses.
9 Og Præsten Jojada gav Hundredførerne Spydene og de smaa og store Skjolde, som havde tilhørt Kong David og var i Guds Hus.
And Jehoiada the priest giveth to the heads of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that [are] king David's, that [are] in the house of God;
10 Derpaa opstillede han alt Folket, alle med Spyd i Haand, fra Templets Sydside til Nordsiden, hen til Alteret og derfra igen hen til Templet, rundt om Kongen.
and he stationeth the whole of the people, and each his dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house unto the left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by the king, round about.
11 Saa førte de Kongesønnen ud, satte Kronen og Vidnesbyrdet paa ham; derefter udraabte de ham til Konge, og Jojada og hans Sønner salvede ham og raabte: »Kongen leve!«
And they bring out the son of the king, and put upon him the crown, and the testimony, and cause him to reign; and Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, 'Let the king live!'
12 Da Atalja hørte Larmen af Folket, som løb og jublede for Kongen, gik hun hen til Folket i HERRENS Hus,
And Athaliah heareth the voice of the people who are running, and who are praising the king, and she cometh in unto the people in the house of Jehovah,
13 og der saa hun Kongen staa paa sin Plads ved Indgangen og Øversterne og Trompetblæserne ved Siden af, medens alt Folket fra Landet jublede og blæste i Trompeterne, og Sangerne med deres Instrumenter ledede Lovsangen. Da sønderrev Atalja sine Klæder og raabte: »Forræderi, Forræderi!«
and seeth, and lo, the king is standing by his pillar in the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah rendeth her garments, and saith, 'Conspiracy, conspiracy.'
14 Men Præsten Jojada bød Hundredførerne, Hærens Befalingsmænd: »Før hende uden for Forgaardene og hug enhver ned, der følger hende, thi — sagde Præsten — I maa ikke dræbe hende i HERRENS Hus!«
And Jehoiada the priest bringeth out the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and saith unto them, 'Take her out from within the rows, and he who hath gone after her is put to death by the sword;' for the priest said, 'Put her not to death [in] the house of Jehovah.'
15 Saa greb de hende, og da hun ad Hesteporten var kommet til Kongens Palads, dræbte de hende der.
And they make for her sides, and she cometh in unto the entrance of the gate of the horses at the house of the king, and they put her to death there.
16 Men Jojada sluttede Pagt mellem sig og hele Folket og Kongen om, at de skulde være HERRENS Folk.
And Jehoiada maketh a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to Jehovah;
17 Og alt Folket begav sig til Ba'als Hus og nedbrød det; Altrene og Billederne huggede de i Stykker, og Ba'als Præst Mattan dræbte de foran Altrene.
and all the people enter the house of Baal, and break it down, yea, his altars and his images they have broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars.
18 Derpaa satte Jojada Vagtposter ved HERRENS Hus under Ledelse af Præsterne og Leviterne, som David havde tildelt HERRENS Hus, for at de skulde bringe HERREN Brændofre, som det er foreskrevet i Mose Lov, under Jubel og Sang efter Davids Anordning;
And Jehoiada putteth the offices of the house of Jehovah into the hand of the priests the Levites whom David had apportioned over the house of Jehovah, to cause to ascend the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as written in the law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands of David;
19 og han opstillede Dørvogterne ved HERRENS Hus's Porte, for at ingen, der i nogen Maade var uren, skulde gaa derind;
and he stationeth the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of Jehovah, and the unclean in anything doth not go in.
20 og han tog Hundredførerne og Stormændene og Folkets overordnede og alt Folket fra Landet og førte Kongen ned fra HERRENS Hus; de gik igennem Øvreporten til Kongens Palads og satte Kongen paa Kongetronen.
And he taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the honourable ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and bringeth down the king from the house of Jehovah, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom.
21 Da glædede alt Folket fra Landet sig, og Byen holdt sig rolig. Men Atalja huggede de ned.
And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city hath been quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword.
