< 2 Chronicles 23 >
1 And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them.
А седме године ослободи се Јодај, и узе к себи стотнике Азарију сина Јероамовог и Исмаила сина Јоанановог и Азарију сина Овидовог и Масију сина Адајевог и Елисафата сина Зихријевог, и ухвати веру с њима,
2 And they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Те пролазећи земљу Јудину сабраше Левите из свих градова Јудиних и главаре породица отачких у Израиљу, и дођоше у Јерусалим.
3 And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David.
И сав збор учини веру у дому Божјем с царем; и Јодај им рече: Ево, син ће царев царовати, као што је рекао Господ за синове Давидове.
4 And this is the thing that you shall do:
Ово учините: трећина вас који долазите у суботу између свештеника и Левита нека буду вратари на прагу;
5 A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters, shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king’s house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
А друга трећина нека буде у царском двору; а остала трећина на вратима од темеља, а сав народ у тремовима дома Господњег.
6 And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord.
Нико да не улази у дом Господњи осим свештеника и оних Левита који служе; они нека улазе, јер су посвећени, а сав народ нека чини оно што је Господ заповедио да чини.
7 And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; (and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; ) and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out.
И Левити нека опколе цара, сваки с оружјем својим у руци; и ко би год ушао у дом, да се погуби; и будите уз цара кад стане улазити и излазити.
8 So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest bad commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week.
И учинише Левити и сав народ Јудин све што заповеди свештеник Јодај; и узеше сваки своје људе који долажаху у суботу и који одлажаху у суботу; јер Јодај свештеник не отпусти редове.
9 And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.
И даде Јодај свештеник стотиницима копља и штитове и штитиће цара Давида што беху у дому Божијем.
10 And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about the king.
И постави сав народ све с оружјем у руку, од десне стране дома до леве према олтару и према дому, око цара.
11 And they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king.
Тада изведоше сина царевог, и метнуше му на главу венац, и дадоше му сведочанство, и зацарише га, и Јодај и синови његови помазаше га и рекоше: Да живи цар!
12 Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the Lord.
А кад Готолија чу вику народа који се стецаше и хваљаше цара, дође к народу у дом Господњи.
13 And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason.
И погледа, и гле, цар стајаше код свог ступа на уласку, а кнезови и трубе око цара, и сав народ земаљски радоваше се и трубе трубљаху и певачи певаху уз оруђа музичка и они који почињаху у певању. Тада раздре Готолија хаљине своје и повика: Буна! Буна!
14 And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.
А Јодај свештеник заповеди да изађу стотиници који беху над војском, и рече им: Изведите је из врста напоље, и ко пође за њом нека се погуби мачем; јер рече свештеник: Немојте је убити у дому Господњем.
15 And they laid hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there.
И начинише јој место, те отиде како се иде вратима коњским у дом царев, и онде је погубише.
16 And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the Lord.
Тада Јодај учини веру међу собом и свим народом и царем да ће бити народ Господњи.
17 And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Потом сав народ отиде у дом Валов, и раскопаше га, и олтаре његове и ликове његове изломише, а Матана, свештеника Валовог, убише пред олтарима.
18 And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David.
И Јодај уреди опет службу у дому Господњем међу свештеницима и Левитима, које Давид беше одредио дому Господњем, да би приносили жртве паљенице Господу, као што пише у закону Мојсијевом, с весељем и песмама по наредби Давидовој.
19 He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in.
Постави и вратаре на вратима дома Господњег да не би улазио нечист ода шта му драго.
20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king’s house, and set him on the royal throne.
И узе стотинике и знатније људе и који управљаху народом, сав народ земаљски, и изведе цара из дома Господњег и уђоше високим вратима у дом царски, и посадише цара на царски престо.
21 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword.
И радоваше се сав народ земаљски, и град се умири, кад Готолију убише мачем.
