Anden Krønikebog 23
1 Men i det syvende År tog Jojada Mod til sig og indgik Pagt med Hundredførerne Azarja, Jerhams Søn, Jisjmael, Johanans Søn, Azarja, Obeds Søn, Ma'aseja, Adajas Søn, og Elisjafat, Zikris Søn.
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 De drog Juda rundt og samlede Leviterne fra alle Judas Byer og Overhovederne for Israels Fædrenehuse, og de kom så 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 Så 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!
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 Og således skal I gøre: Den Tredjedel af eder Præster og Leviter, der rykker ind om Sabbaten, skal tjene som Dørvogtere;
Therefore, this is the word that you shall do:
5 den anden Tredjedel skal besætte Kongens Palads og den tredje Jesodporten, medens alt Folket skal besætte Forgården etiI HERRENs Hus.
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 må betræde HERRENs Hus undtagen Præsterne og de Leviter, der gør Tjeneste; de må gå derind, thi de er hellige; men hele Folket skal holde sig HERRENs Forskrift efterrettelig.
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 Så skal Leviterne, alle med Våben i Hånd, slutte Kreds om Kongen, og enhver, der nærmer sig Templet, skal dræbes. Således skal I være om Kongen, når han går ind, og når han går 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 Leviterne og alle Judæerne gjorde alt, hvad Præsten Jojada havde påbudt, idet de tog hver sine Folk, både dem, der rykkede ud, og dem, der rykkede ind om Sabbaten, thi Præsten Jojada gav ikke Skifterne Orlov.
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 Præsten Jojada gav Hundredførerne Spydene og de små og store Skjolde, som havde tilhørt Kong David og var 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 Derpå opstillede han alt Folket, alle med Spyd i Hånd, fra Templets Sydside til Nordsiden, hen til Alteret og derfra igen hen til Templet, rundt om Kongen.
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 Så førte de Kongesønnen ud, satte Kronen og Vidnesbyrdet på ham; derefter udråbte de ham til Konge, og Jojada og hans Sønner salvede ham og råbte: "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 Da Atalja hørte Larmen af Folket, som løb og jublede for Kongen, gik hun hen 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 der så hun Kongen stå på 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 råbte: "Forræderi, Forræderi!"
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 Præsten Jojada bød Hundredførerne, Hærens Befalingsmænd: "Før hende uden for Forgårdene og hug enhver ned, der følger hende, thi - sagde Præsten - I må 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 Så greb de hende, og da hun ad Hesteporten var kommet til Kongens Palads, dræbte de 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 Men Jojada sluttede Pagt mellem sig og hele Folket og Kongen om, 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 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 deforan 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 Derpå 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;
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 og han opstillede Dørvogterne ved HERRENs Hus's Porte, for at ingen, der i nogen Måde var uren, skulde gå 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 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 på Kongetronen.
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 Da glædede alt Folket fra Landet sig, og Byen holdt sig rolig. Men Atalja huggede de ned.
And all the people of the land were rejoicing, and the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword.
