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.
Då Atalja, mor åt Ahazja, fekk vita at son hennar var dåen, tok ho seg fyre å tyna heile kongsætti.
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.
Men nett med same kongssønerne skulde lata livet, tok Joseba, dotter åt kong Joram, syster åt Ahazja, fekk taka i Joas Ahazjason og berga honom undan saman med fostermor hans, inn i sengkammerset, og soleis løynde dei honom for Atalja, so han ikkje vart drepen.
3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.
So var han hjå henne i Herrens hus, burtgøymd, i seks år, medan Atalja styrde landet.
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.
I det sjuande året sende Jojada bod og henta hovudsmennerne for livvakti og førde deim inn til seg i Herrens hus. Og han hadde gjort ein avtale med deim og teke deim i eid der i Herrens hus, synte han deim kongssonen.
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 —
So baud han deim: «Høyr no korleis de skal fara åt: Den eine tridjepart av dykk som tek vakthaldet på kviledagen, skal halda vakt i kongsgarden,
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.
den andre tridjeparten i Sur-porten, tridje tridjeparten i porten bak drabantarne; de skal greida vakti til vern åt huset.
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.
Båe dei hine vaktskifti, alle dei av dykk som skulde verta avløyste frå vakt på kviledagen, dei skal halda vakt um kongen i Herrens hus;
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.'
de skal gjera manngard rundt ikring kongen, kvar mann med våpn i hand! kjem nokon innpå rekkjorne, so hogg honom ned! Soleis skal de vera med kongen både når han gjeng ut, og når han gjeng inn.»
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.
Hovudsmennerne gjorde alt soleis som presten Jojada baud; kvar og ein tok sine folk, både dei som skulde taka ved vakti um kviledagen og dei som skulde ganga frå um kviledagen; dei kom til presten Jojada,
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.
og presten gav hovudsmennerne dei spjoti og dei skjoldarne som kong David hadde ått, og som var i Herrens hus.
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.
Livvakti tok post, kvar med våpn i hand, frå sudsida av huset til nordsida av huset, til altaret, og derifrå til huset att, i manngard kring kongen.
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.'
So leidde han kongssonen ut og sette på honom kruna og gav honom lovi. Dei tok honom til konge og salva honom, klappa i henderne og ropa: «Live kongen!»
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.
Då Atalja høyrde ropet frå livvakti og folket, gjekk ho til Herrens hus, der folket stod.
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.'
Der fekk ho då sjå kongen standa på den høge tramen, som skikken var, og hovudsmennerne og lurblåsarane attmed kongen, og alt landsens folk som fegnast og bles i lur. Då reiv Atalja sund klædi sine og ropa: «Samansverjing, samansverjing!»
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.'
Presten Jojada baud hovudsmennerne, herførarne: «Leid henne ut millom rekkjorne!» sagde han til deim, «og er so nokon fylgjer etter henne, so hogg honom ned!» Presten vilde ikkje ho skulde verta drepi i Herrens hus.
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.
Dei tok henne då og førde henne inn i kongsgarden gjenom hesteporten; og der let ho livet.
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.
Jojada gjorde den pakti millom Herren og kongen og folket, at dei skulde vera Herrens folk. Ogso millom kongen og folket gjorde han semja.
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.
Alt landsens folk gjekk so av stad burt til Ba’als-huset og reiv det ned, og altari hans og bilæti krasa dei i mol og mask. Mattan, Ba’als-presten, drap dei framfor altari. So sette Jojada vaktmenner ved Herrens hus.
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.
Deretter tok han med seg hovudsmennerne og livvakti og alt landsens folk, og dei førde kongen frå Herrens hus inn i kongsgarden gjenom livvakt-porten. Han sette seg på kongsstolen,
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.
og alt folket fegnast; og byen kom til ro. Men Atalja hadde dei hogge i hel i kongsgarden.
21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
Sju år gamall var Joas då han vart konge.
