< Chronicles II 23 >

1 And in the eighth year Jodae strengthened [himself], and took the captains of hundreds, Azarias the son of Joram, and Ismael the son of Joanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasaeas the son of Adia, and Elisaphan the son of Zacharias, with him to the house of the Lord.
V sedmem letu se je Jojadá okrepil in vzel poveljnike nad stotimi: Jerohámovega sina Azarjája, Johanánovega sina Jišmaéla, Obédovega sina Azarjája, Adajájevega sina Maasejája in Zihríjevega sina Elišafáta v zavezo z njim.
2 And they went round about Juda, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and heads of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Ti so šli naokoli po Judu in zbrali Lévijevce iz vseh Judovih mest in vodje Izraelovih očetov ter prišli v Jeruzalem.
3 and all the congregation of Juda made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he showed them the king's son, and said to them, Behold, let the king's son reign, as the Lord said concerning the house of David.
Vsa skupnost je sklenila zavezo s kraljem v Božji hiši. Rekel jim je: »Glejte, kraljev sin bo kraljeval, kakor je Gospod rekel o Davidovih sinovih.
4 Now this [is] the thing which you shall do. Let a third part of you, [even] of the priests and of the Levites, enter in on the sabbath, even into the gates of the entrances;
To je stvar, ki jo boste storili: ›Tretjina izmed vas, ki vstopi na šabat, od duhovnikov in od Lévijevcev, boste vratarji vrat,
5 and let a third part be in the house of the king; and another third at the middle gate: and all the people in the courts of the Lord's house.
tretjina bo pri kraljevi hiši in tretjina pri temeljnih velikih vratih, vse ljudstvo pa bo na dvorih Gospodove hiše.
6 And let not [any one] enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests and the Levites, and the servants of the Levites; they shall enter in, because they are holy: and let all the people keep the watch of the Lord.
Toda nihče naj ne pride v Gospodovo hišo, razen duhovnikov in tistih, ki služijo od Lévijevcev; oni bodo vstopili, kajti oni so sveti, toda vse ljudstvo bo Gospodova straža.
7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man's weapon in his hand; and whoever [else] goes into the house shall die: but they shall be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.
Lévijevci bodo naokoli obdali kralja, vsak mož s svojim orožjem v svoji roki in kdorkoli drug pride v hišo, bo usmrčen, toda vi bodite s kraljem, ko vstopa in ko gre ven.
8 And the Levites and all Juda did according to all that the priest Jodae commanded them, and they took each his men from the beginning of the sabbath to the end of the sabbath, for Jodae the priest did not dismiss the courses.
Tako so Lévijevci in ves Juda storili glede na vse stvari, ki jih je duhovnik Jojadá zapovedal ter vzeli vsak mož svoje može, ki so vstopali na šabat, s tistimi, ki so na šabat odhajali ven, kajti duhovnik Jojadá ni odpustil skupin.
9 And Jodae gave to the men the swords, and the shields, and the arms, which [had] belonged to King David, in the house of God.
Poleg tega je duhovnik Jojadá poveljnikom izročil stotine sulic, oklepe in ščite, ki so bili [od] kralja Davida, ki so bili v Božji hiši.
10 And he set the whole people, every man with his arms, from the right side of the house to the left side of the altar and the house, over against the king round about.
Postavil je vse ljudstvo, vsakega moža s svojim orožjem v svoji roki, od desne strani templja, do leve strani templja, vzdolž oltarja in templja, naokoli kralja.
11 And he brought out the king's son, and put on him the crown and the testimony, and Jodae the priest and his sons proclaimed him king, and anointed him, and said, Long live the king!
Potem so privedli ven kraljevega sina in nanj položili krono in mu izročili pričevanje ter ga postavili [za] kralja. Jojadá in njegovi sinovi so ga mazilili ter rekli: »Živel kralj.«
12 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and acknowledging and praising the king: and she went in to the king into the house of the Lord.
Torej ko je Ataljá zaslišala hrup ljudstva teči in slaviti kralja, je prišla k ljudstvu v Gospodovo hišo.
13 And she looked, and, behold, the king [stood] in his place, and the princes and trumpets were at the entrance, and the princes were round the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded the trumpets, and there were the singers singing with instruments, and singing hymns of praise. and Gotholia tore her robe, and cried, you surely are plotting against [me].
Pogledala je in glej, kralj je stal pri svojem stebru ob vhodu in princi ter trobente poleg kralja. Vse ljudstvo dežele se je veselilo in trobilo s trobentami, tudi pevci z glasbenimi instrumenti in tisti, ki so učili peti hvalo. Potem je Ataljá pretrgala svoja oblačila in rekla: »Izdaja, izdaja.«
14 And Jodae the priest went forth, and Jodae the priest charged the captains of hundreds, even the captains of the host, and said to them, Thrust her forth outside the house, and follow her, and let her be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.
Potem je duhovnik Jojadá privedel ven poveljnike nad stotimi, ki so bili postavljeni nad vojsko in jim rekel: »Odpeljite jo iz dosega in kdorkoli ji sledi, naj bo umorjen z mečem. Kajti duhovnik je rekel: ›Ne umorite je v Gospodovi hiši.‹«
15 So they let her go [out]; and she went through the horsemen's gate of the house of the king, and they killed her there.
Tako so nanjo položili roke in ko je prišla do vhoda velikih konjskih vrat, ob kraljevi hiši, so jo tam usmrtili.
16 And Jodae made a covenant between himself, and the people, and the king, that the people should be the Lord's.
Jojadá je sklenil zavezo med seboj, med vsem ljudstvom in med kraljem, da bi bili Gospodovo ljudstvo.
17 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore down it and its altars, and they ground his images to powder, and they killed Matthan the priest of Baal before his altars.
Potem je vse ljudstvo odšlo k Báalovi hiši, jo porušilo, razbilo njene oltarje in njene podobe na koščke in pred oltarji usmrtilo Báalovega duhovnika Matána.
18 And Jodae the priest committed the works of the house of the Lord into the and of the priests and Levites, and he re-established the courses of the priests and Levites which David appointed over the house of the Lord, and [he appointed them] to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with gladness, and with songs by the hand of David.
Jojadá je določil tudi službe Gospodove hiše po roki Lévijevih duhovnikov, ki jih je David porazdelil v Gospodovi hiši, da darujejo Gospodove žgalne daritve, kakor je to zapisano v Mojzesovi postavi, z razveseljevanjem in prepevanjem, kakor je bilo to odrejeno po Davidu.
19 And the porters stood at the gates of the house of the Lord, that no one unclean in any respect should enter in.
Postavil je vratarje pri velikih vratih Gospodove hiše, da nihče, ki je bil nečist v katerikoli stvari, ne bi vstopil.
20 And he took the heads of families, and the mighty men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they conducted the king into the house of the Lord; and he went through the inner gate into the king's house, and they seated the king on the throne of the kingdom.
Vzel je poveljnike izmed stotih, plemiče in voditelje izmed ljudstva in vse ljudstvo dežele ter kralja privedel dol iz Gospodove hiše in prišli so skozi velika vrata v kraljevo hišo ter kralja postavili na prestol kraljestva.
21 And all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet: and they killed Gotholia.
Vse ljudstvo dežele se je veselilo in mesto je bil mirno, potem ko so Ataljo umorili z mečem.
