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 Ioiadae adsumpsit centuriones Azariam videlicet filium Hieroam et Ismahel filium Iohanan Azariam quoque filium Oded et Maasiam filium Adaiae et Elisaphat filium Zechri et iniit cum eis foedus
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 Israhel veneruntque in Hierusalem
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 igitur omnis multitudo pactum in domo Domini cum rege dixitque ad eos Ioiadae 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 in porta quae 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 quisquam 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.”
Levitae 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 igitur Levitae et universus Iuda iuxta omnia quae praeceperat Ioiadae pontifex et adsumpserunt singuli viros qui sub se erant et veniebant per ordinem sabbati cum his qui iam impleverant sabbatum et egressuri erant siquidem Ioiadae pontifex non dimiserat abire turmas quae sibi per singulas ebdomadas 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 Ioiadae 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 inposuerunt ei diadema dederuntque in manu eius tenendam legem et constituerunt eum regem unxit quoque illum Ioiadae pontifex et filii eius inprecatique sunt 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 Otholia 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 omnem quoque populum terrae gaudentem atque clangentem tubis et diversi generis organis concinentem vocemque laudantium scidit vestimenta sua et ait insidiae insidiae
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 Ioiadae pontifex ad centuriones et principes exercitus dixit eis educite illam extra septa templi et interficiatur foris gladio praecepitque 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 inposuerunt 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 Ioiadae foedus 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 Matthan 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 Ioiadae praepositos in domo Domini et sub manibus sacerdotum ac Levitarum quos distribuit David in domo Domini ut offerrent holocausta Domino sicut scriptum est in lege Mosi 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 inmundus 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.
adsumpsitque centuriones et fortissimos viros ac principes populi et omne vulgus terrae et fecerunt descendere regem de domo Domini et introire per medium portae superioris in domum regis et conlocaverunt 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.
laetatusque est omnis populus terrae et urbs quievit porro Otholia interfecta est gladio
