2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada has strengthened himself, and takes the heads of the hundreds, even Azariah son of Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, into the covenant with him.
Anno autem septimo confortatus Ioiada, assumpsit centuriones, Azariam videlicet filium Ieroham, et Ismahel filium Iohanan, Azariam quoque filium Obed, et Maasiam filium Adaiæ, et Elisaphat filium Zechri: et iniit cum eis fœdus.
2 And they go around in Judah, and gather the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of Israel, and come to Jerusalem,
Qui circumeuntes Iudam, congregaverunt Levitas de cunctis urbibus Iuda, et principes familiarum Israel, veneruntque in Ierusalem.
3 and all the assembly make a covenant in the house of God with the king, and he says to them, “Behold, the son of the king reigns, as YHWH spoke concerning the sons of David.
Iniit ergo omnis multitudo pactum in domo Dei cum rege: dixitque ad eos Ioiada: Ecce filius regis regnabit, sicut locutus est Dominus super filios David.
4 This [is] the thing that you do: the third of you, going in on the Sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [are] for gatekeepers of the thresholds,
Iste est ergo sermo quem facietis:
5 and the third [are] at the house of the king, and the third at the Foundation Gate, and all the people [are] in the courts of the house of YHWH.
Tertia pars vestrum qui veniunt ad Sabbatum, Sacerdotum, et Levitarum, et ianitorum erit in portis: tertia vero pars ad domum regis: et tertia ad portam, quæ appellatur Fundamenti: omne vero reliquum vulgus sit in atriis domus Domini.
6 And none enter the house of YHWH except the priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for they [are] holy), and all the people keep the watch of YHWH;
Nec quispiam alius ingrediatur domum Domini, nisi Sacerdotes, et qui ministrant de Levitis: ipsi tantummodo ingrediantur, quia sanctificati sunt: et omne reliquum vulgus observet custodias Domini.
7 and the Levites have surrounded the king all around, each with his weapon in his hand, and he who has gone into the house is put to death; and be with the king in his coming in and in his going out.”
Levitæ autem circumdent regem, habentes singuli arma sua: (et si quis alius ingressus fuerit templum, interficiatur) sintque cum rege et intrante et egrediente.
8 And the Levites and all Judah do according to all that Jehoiada the priest has commanded, and each takes his men going in on the Sabbath, with those going out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest has not let away the divisions.
Fecerunt ergo Levitæ, et universus Iuda iuxta omnia, quæ præceperat Ioiada pontifex: et assumpserunt singuli viros qui sub se erant, et veniebant per ordinem Sabbati, cum his qui impleverant sabbatum, et egressuri erant. Siquidem Ioiada pontifex non dimiserat abire turmas, quæ sibi per singulas hebdomadas succedere consueverant.
9 And Jehoiada the priest gives to the heads of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that [are] King David’s, that [are] in the house of God;
Deditque Ioiada sacerdos centurionibus lanceas, clypeosque et peltas regis David, quas consecraverat in domo Domini.
10 and he stations the whole of the people, and each [with] his dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house to the left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by the king, all around.
Constituitque omnem populum tenentium pugiones a parte templi dextra, usque ad partem templi sinistram, coram altari, et templo, per circuitum regis.
11 And they bring out the son of the king, and put the crown on him, and [give him] the Testimony, and cause him to reign; and Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, “Let the king live!”
Et eduxerunt filium regis, et imposuerunt ei diadema, et testimonium, dederuntque in manu eius tenendam legem, et constituerunt eum regem: unxit quoque illum Ioiada pontifex, et filii eius: imprecatique sunt ei, atque dixerunt: Vivat rex.
12 And Athaliah hears the voice of the people who are running, and who are praising the king, and she comes to the people [in] the house of YHWH,
Quod cum audisset Athalia, vocem scilicet currentium atque laudantium regem, ingressa est ad populum in templum Domini.
13 and sees, and behold, the king is standing by his pillar in the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah tears her garments and says, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”
Cumque vidisset regem stantem super gradum in introitu, et principes, turmasque circa eum, omnemque populum terræ gaudentem, atque clangentem tubis, et diversi generis organis concinentem, vocemque laudantium, scidit vestimenta sua, et ait: Insidiæ, insidiæ.
14 And Jehoiada the priest brings out the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and says to them, “Take her out from within the rows, and he who has gone after her is put to death by the sword”; for the priest said, “Do not put her to death [in] the house of YHWH.”
Egressus autem Ioiada pontifex ad centuriones, et principes exercitus, dixit eis: Educite illam extra septa templi, et interficiatur foris gladio. Præcepitque sacerdos ne occideretur in domo Domini.
15 And they make sides for her, and she comes to the entrance of the Horse Gate at the house of the king, and they put her to death there.
Et imposuerunt cervicibus eius manus: cumque intrasset portam equorum domus regis, interfecerunt eam ibi.
16 And Jehoiada makes a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to YHWH;
Pepigit autem Ioiada fœdus inter se, universumque populum, et regem, ut esset populus Domini.
17 and all the people enter the house of Ba‘al, and break it down, indeed, they have broken his altars and his images, and they have slain Mattan priest of Ba‘al before the altars.
Itaque ingressus est omnis populus domum Baal, et destruxerunt eam: et altaria ac simulacra illius confregerunt: Mathan quoque sacerdotem Baal interfecerunt ante aras.
18 And Jehoiada puts the offices of the house of YHWH into the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had apportioned over the house of YHWH, to cause the burnt-offerings of YHWH to ascend, as written in the Law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands of David;
Constituit autem Ioiada præpositos in domo Domini, sub manibus Sacerdotum, et Levitarum, quos distribuit David in domo Domini: ut offerrent holocausta Domino, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi, in gaudio et canticis, iuxta dispositionem David.
19 and he stations the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of YHWH, and the unclean in anything do not go in.
Constituit quoque ianitores in portis domus Domini, ut non ingrederetur eam immundus in omni re.
20 And he takes the heads of the hundreds, and the majestic ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and brings down the king from the house of YHWH, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom.
Assumpsitque centuriones, et fortissimos viros ac principes populi, et omne vulgus terræ, et fecerunt descendere regem de domo Domini, et introire per medium portæ superioris in domum regis, et collocaverunt eum in solio regali.
21 And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city has been quiet, and they have put Athaliah to death by the sword.
Lætatusque est omnis populus terræ, et urbs quievit: porro Athalia interfecta est gladio.
