2 Chronicles 23
1 In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zikri, into 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 They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of ancestral houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Qui circumeuntes Iudam, congregaverunt Levitas de cunctis urbibus Iuda, et principes familiarum Israel, veneruntque in Ierusalem.
3 All the assembly made a covenant in the house of God with the king. And he showed them the king's son. And he said to them, "Look, the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah has spoken concerning the descendants 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 shall do. A third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
Iste est ergo sermo quem facietis:
5 A third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of Jehovah's house.
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 But let no one come into the house of Jehovah, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Jehovah's instructions.
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 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in, and when he goes 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 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath; with those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the shift.
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 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in God's house.
Deditque Ioiada sacerdos centurionibus lanceas, clypeosque et peltas regis David, quas consecraverat in domo Domini.
10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
Constituitque omnem populum tenentium pugiones a parte templi dextra, usque ad partem templi sinistram, coram altari, et templo, per circuitum regis.
11 Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, "Long live the king."
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 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah:
Quod cum audisset Athalia, vocem scilicet currentium atque laudantium regem, ingressa est ad populum in templum Domini.
13 and she looked, and, look, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, "Treason. Treason."
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 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword." For the priest said, "Do not kill her in Jehovah's house."
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 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the Horse Gate to the king's house; and they killed her there.
Et imposuerunt cervicibus eius manus: cumque intrasset portam equorum domus regis, interfecerunt eam ibi.
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovah's people.
Pepigit autem Ioiada fœdus inter se, universumque populum, et regem, ut esset populus Domini.
17 All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal 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 Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests and the Levites, and he appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order 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 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of Jehovah, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
Constituit quoque ianitores in portis domus Domini, ut non ingrederetur eam immundus in omni re.
20 He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Jehovah: and they came through the Upper Gate to the king's house, and set the king 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 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
Lætatusque est omnis populus terræ, et urbs quievit: porro Athalia interfecta est gladio.
