2 Kings 11

1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

Ketika Atalya mengetahui bahwa Raja Ahazia, anaknya, sudah mati, ia memerintahkan supaya seluruh keluarga Ahazia dibunuh.

2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bed-chamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

Yoas anak Ahazia nyaris dibunuh juga bersama putra-putra raja yang lainnya, tetapi ia lolos karena diselamatkan oleh Yoseba bibinya. Yoas dan pengasuhnya dibawa dan disembunyikan di sebuah kamar tidur di Rumah TUHAN.

3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.

Enam tahun lamanya Yoseba memelihara anak itu di dalam Rumah TUHAN sewaktu Atalya memerintah sebagai ratu.

4 And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds, of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.

Pada tahun ketujuh, para perwira pengawal pribadi ratu dan para pengawal istana dipanggil oleh Imam Yoyada untuk bertemu dengan dia di Rumah TUHAN. Di sana ia menyuruh mereka bersumpah untuk melaksanakan rencananya. Ia memperlihatkan Yoas, putra Raja Ahazia, kepada mereka,

5 And he commanded them, saying: 'This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, and that keep the watch of the king's house —

dan memberi perintah ini, "Apabila kalian bertugas pada hari Sabat, sepertiga dari kalian harus berjaga di istana,

6 now another third part was at the gate Sur, and another third part at the gate behind the guard — shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.

sepertiga lagi di pintu Gerbang Sur, dan selebihnya di pintu gerbang di belakang pengawal-pengawal yang lain.

7 And the other two parts of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.

Kedua regu yang lepas tugas pada hari Sabat, hendaklah berjaga di Rumah TUHAN dengan pedang terhunus untuk melindungi Raja Yoas. Kalian harus mengawal dia ke mana saja ia pergi, dan setiap orang yang mencoba mendekati kalian, harus kalian bunuh."

8 And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain; and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when he cometh in.'

9 And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

Para perwira itu mentaati perintah Yoyada dan membawa kepadanya anak buah mereka yang harus bertugas dan yang lepas tugas pada hari Sabat itu.

10 And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spear and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of the LORD.

Yoyada memberikan kepada para perwira itu tombak-tombak dan perisai-perisai Raja Daud yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN.

11 And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.

Lalu para pengawal, masing-masing dengan pedang terhunus, mengambil tempat mereka di sekeliling bagian depan Rumah TUHAN untuk melindungi raja.

12 Then he brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown and the insignia; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said: 'Long live the king.'

Setelah itu Yoyada membawa Yoas ke luar, lalu meletakkan mahkota di kepalanya, dan menyerahkan kepadanya buku Hukum Allah. Yoas dilantik sebagai raja dan hal itu diumumkan kepada rakyat. Semua bertepuk tangan dan bersorak, "Hidup raja!"

13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of the LORD.

Ratu Atalya mendengar sorak sorai para pengawal dan rakyat. Cepat-cepat ia pergi ke Rumah TUHAN, di mana orang banyak berkerumun.

14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood on the platform, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried: 'Treason, treason.'

Ia melihat raja yang baru itu berdiri di pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN di mana ia dinobatkan, dikelilingi oleh perwira-perwira dan peniup trompet. Seluruh rakyat bersorak gembira sambil trompet dibunyikan. Dengan cemas Atalya merobek pakaiannya, dan berteriak, "Khianat! Khianat!"

15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them: 'Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword'; for the priest said: 'Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.'

Yoyada tidak mengizinkan Atalya dibunuh di sekitar Rumah TUHAN, jadi ia berkata kepada para perwira, "Bawalah dia keluar melalui barisan pengawal dan bunuh siapa saja yang berusaha menyelamatkan dia."

16 So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house; and there was she slain.

Mereka menangkap dia, lalu membawanya ke istana. Di sana ia dibunuh di depan pintu Gerbang Kuda.

17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the people.

Imam Yoyada menyuruh Raja Yoas dan rakyat membuat perjanjian dengan TUHAN bahwa mereka akan menjadi umat TUHAN. Ia juga menyuruh raja membuat perjanjian dengan rakyat.

18 And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.

Setelah itu rakyat menyerbu dan meruntuhkan kuil Baal. Mezbah serta patung-patungnya dihancurkan, dan Matan, imam Baal dibunuh di depan mezbah-mezbah itu. Yoyada menugaskan pengawal untuk menjaga Rumah TUHAN,

19 And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

lalu ia bersama para perwira, para pengawal pribadi raja dan para pengawal istana serta seluruh rakyat mengarak Raja Yoas dari Rumah TUHAN ke istana. Yoas masuk melalui Gerbang Pengawal, lalu duduk di atas singgasana.

20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they slew Athaliah with the sword at the king's house.

Seluruh rakyat gembira, kota pun tenteram dan Atalya sudah dibunuh.

21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.

Yoas berumur tujuh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja Yehuda.
