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, ibu Ahazia, melihat bahwa anaknya sudah mati, maka bangkitlah ia membinasakan semua keturunan raja.

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.

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 was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years; and Athaliah 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 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.

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 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 —

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 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 ada di pintu gerbang Sur dan sepertiga pula di pintu gerbang di belakang para bentara penunggu--haruslah mengawal di istana;

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.

dan kedua regu dari pada kamu, yakni semua orang yang bertugas di sini pada hari Sabat dan mengawal di rumah TUHAN,

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.'

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 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 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 delivered to the captains over hundreds the spear and shields that had been king David's, which 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 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.

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 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.'

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 when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into 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 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.'

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 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.'

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 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.

Lalu mereka menangkap perempuan itu. Pada waktu ia masuk ke istana raja dengan melalui pintu bagi kuda, dibunuhlah dia di situ.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

Bersukarialah seluruh rakyat negeri dan amanlah kota itu, setelah Atalya mati dibunuh dengan pedang di istana raja.

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

Yoas berumur tujuh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja.
