< Kings IV 11 >
1 And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
Ketika Atalya, ibu Ahazia, melihat bahwa anaknya sudah mati, maka bangkitlah ia membinasakan semua keturunan raja.
2 And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from amongst the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.
Tetapi Yoseba, anak perempuan raja Yoram, saudara perempuan Ahazia, mengambil Yoas bin Ahazia, menculik dia dari tengah-tengah anak-anak raja yang hendak dibunuh itu, memasukkan dia dengan inang penyusunya ke dalam gudang tempat tidur, dan menyembunyikan dia terhadap Atalya, sehingga dia tidak dibunuh.
3 And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.
Maka tinggallah dia enam tahun lamanya bersama-sama perempuan itu dengan bersembunyi di rumah TUHAN, sementara Atalya memerintah negeri.
4 And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae showed them the king's son.
Dalam tahun yang ketujuh Yoyada mengundang para kepala pasukan seratus dari orang Kari dan dari pasukan bentara penunggu. Disuruhnyalah mereka datang kepadanya di rumah TUHAN, lalu diikatnya perjanjian dengan mereka dengan menyuruh mereka bersumpah di rumah TUHAN. Kemudian diperlihatkannyalah anak raja itu kepada mereka.
5 And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you shall do.
Sesudah itu ia memerintahkan kepada mereka: "Inilah yang harus kamu lakukan: sepertiga dari kamu, yakni yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat di sini, tetapi mengawal di istana raja--
6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep you the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep you the guard of the house.
sepertiga lagi ada di pintu gerbang Sur dan sepertiga pula di pintu gerbang di belakang para bentara penunggu--haruslah mengawal di istana;
7 And there [shall be] two parties amongst you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.
dan kedua regu dari pada kamu, yakni semua orang yang bertugas di sini pada hari Sabat dan mengawal di rumah TUHAN,
8 And do you compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.
haruslah mengelilingi raja dari segala penjuru, masing-masing dengan senjatanya di tangannya, dan siapa yang mendatangi barisan haruslah mati dibunuh. Dan baiklah kamu menyertai raja setiap kali ia keluar atau masuk."
9 And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.
Para kepala pasukan seratus itu melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan imam Yoyada. Masing-masing mengambil orang-orangnya yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang masuk bertugas pada hari itu, lalu datanglah mereka kepada imam Yoyada.
10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.
Imam memberikan kepada para kepala pasukan seratus itu tombak-tombak dan perisai-perisai kepunyaan raja Daud yang ada di rumah TUHAN.
11 And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.
Kemudian para bentara itu, masing-masing dengan senjatanya di tangannya, mengambil tempatnya di lambung kanan sampai ke lambung kiri rumah itu, dengan mengelilingi mezbah dan rumah itu untuk melindungi raja.
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.
Sesudah itu Yoyada membawa anak raja itu ke luar, mengenakan jejamang kepadanya dan memberikan hukum Allah kepadanya. Mereka menobatkan dia menjadi raja serta mengurapinya, dan sambil bertepuk tangan berserulah mereka: "Hiduplah raja!"
13 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
Ketika Atalya mendengar suara bentara-bentara penunggu dan rakyat, pergilah ia mendapatkan rakyat itu ke dalam rumah TUHAN.
14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia tore her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
Lalu dilihatnyalah raja berdiri dekat tiang menurut kebiasaan, sedang para pemimpin dengan para pemegang nafiri ada dekat raja. Dan seluruh rakyat negeri bersukaria sambil meniup nafiri. Maka Atalya mengoyakkan pakaiannya sambil berseru: "Khianat, khianat!"
15 And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.
Tetapi imam Yoyada memerintahkan para kepala pasukan seratus, yakni orang-orang yang mengepalai tentara, katanya kepada mereka: "Bawalah dia keluar dari barisan! Siapa yang memihak kepadanya bunuhlah dengan pedang!" Sebab tadinya imam itu telah berkata: "Janganlah ia dibunuh di rumah TUHAN!"
16 And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.
Lalu mereka menangkap perempuan itu. Pada waktu ia masuk ke istana raja dengan melalui pintu bagi kuda, dibunuhlah dia di situ.
17 And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.
Kemudian Yoyada mengikat perjanjian antara TUHAN dengan raja dan rakyat, bahwa mereka menjadi umat TUHAN; juga antara raja dengan rakyat.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they killed Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
Sesudah itu masuklah seluruh rakyat negeri ke rumah Baal, lalu merobohkannya; mereka memecahkan sama sekali mezbah-mezbahnya dan patung-patung dan membunuh Matan, imam Baal, di depan mezbah-mezbah itu. Kemudian imam Yoyada mengangkat penjaga-penjaga untuk rumah TUHAN.
19 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.
Sesudah itu ia mengajak para kepala pasukan seratus orang-orang Kari dan para bentara penunggu dan seluruh rakyat negeri, lalu mereka membawa raja turun dari rumah TUHAN; mereka masuk ke istana raja melalui pintu gerbang para bentara; kemudian duduklah raja di atas takhta kerajaan.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they killed Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.
Bersukarialah seluruh rakyat negeri dan amanlah kota itu, setelah Atalya mati dibunuh dengan pedang di istana raja.
21 Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
Yoas berumur tujuh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja.
