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.
Tetapi dalam tahun ketujuh Yoyada memberanikan diri dan ia mengadakan persepakatan dengan para kepala pasukan seratus, yakni: Azarya bin Yeroham, Ismael bin Yohanan, Azarya bin Obed. Maaseya bin Adaya, dan Elisafat bin Zikhri.
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.
Mereka mengelilingi Yehuda dan mengumpulkan orang-orang Lewi dari semua kota di Yehuda serta kepala-kepala puak orang Israel, dan mereka semua datang ke Yerusalem.
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 the LORD has spoken concerning the descendants of David.
Lalu seluruh jemaah itu mengikat perjanjian dengan raja di rumah Allah. Kata Yoyada kepada mereka: "Lihatlah, anak raja! Biarlah ia memerintah, seperti yang telah difirmankan TUHAN tentang anak-anak Daud!
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.
Inilah yang harus kamu lakukan: sepertiga dari kamu, yakni yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat, baik imam maupun orang Lewi, haruslah menjadi penunggu pintu,
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 the LORD's house.
sepertiga lagi haruslah berada di istana raja, dan sepertiga pula di pintu gerbang Dasar, sedang seluruh rakyat haruslah berada di pelataran rumah TUHAN.
6 But let no one come into the house of the LORD, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD's instructions.
Siapapun tidak boleh memasuki rumah TUHAN selain dari pada para imam dan orang-orang Lewi yang bertugas. Mereka boleh masuk, karena mereka kudus, tetapi seluruh rakyat haruslah mentaati peraturan TUHAN.
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."
Dalam pada itu orang-orang Lewi haruslah mengelilingi raja dari segala penjuru, masing-masing dengan senjatanya di tangannya, dan siapa yang memasuki rumah itu haruslah dibunuh. Dan baiklah kamu menyertai raja setiap kali ia keluar atau masuk."
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.
Orang-orang Lewi dan seluruh Yehuda melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan imam Yoyada. Masing-masing mengambil orang-orangnya yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang masuk bertugas pada hari itu, karena imam Yoyada tidak membebaskan rombongan-rombongan itu.
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.
Lalu imam Yoyada memberikan kepada para kepala pasukan seratus itu tombak-tombak, utar-utar dan perisai-perisai kepunyaan raja Daud yang ada di rumah Allah.
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.
Ia menempatkan seluruh rakyat, masing-masing dengan lembing di tangannya, di lambung kanan sampai ke lambung kiri rumah itu, dengan mengelilingi mezbah dan rumah itu untuk melindungi raja.
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."
Sesudah itu Yoyada dan anak-anaknya membawa anak raja itu ke luar, mengenakan jejamang kepadanya dan memberikan hukum Allah kepadanya. Mereka menobatkan dia menjadi raja serta mengurapinya, lalu berserulah rakyat: "Hiduplah raja!"
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
Ketika Atalya mendengar pekik rakyat yang berlari-lari menyambut raja dan memuji-muji dia, pergilah ia mendapatkan rakyat itu ke dalam rumah TUHAN.
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."
Lalu dilihatnyalah raja berdiri dekat tiangnya pada jalan masuk, sedang para pemimpin dengan para pemegang nafiri ada dekat raja. Dan seluruh rakyat negeri bersukaria sambil meniup nafiri, sedang para penyanyi dengan alat-alat musik mereka, memimpin nyanyian puji-pujian. Maka Atalya mengoyakkan pakaiannya sambil berkata: "Khianat, khianat!"
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 the LORD's house."
Tetapi imam Yoyada menyuruh keluar para kepala pasukan seratus, yakni orang-orang yang mengepalai tentara, katanya kepada mereka: "Bawalah dia keluar dari antara barisan! Siapa yang memihak kepadanya harus dibunuh dengan pedang!" Sebab imam itu telah berkata tadinya: "Jangan kamu membunuhnya di rumah TUHAN!"
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.
Lalu mereka menangkap perempuan itu. Pada waktu ia sampai ke jalan masuk istana raja pada pintu gerbang Kuda, dibunuhlah ia di situ.
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD's people.
Kemudian Yoyada mengikat perjanjian antara dia dengan segenap rakyat dan raja, bahwa mereka menjadi umat TUHAN.
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.
Sesudah itu masuklah seluruh rakyat ke rumah Baal, lalu merobohkannya; mereka memecahkan mezbah-mezbahnya dan patung-patungnya dan membunuh Matan, imam Baal, di depan mezbah-mezbah itu.
18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of the LORD 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 the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.
Kemudian Yoyada menyerahkan pengawasan atas rumah TUHAN kepada imam-imam dan orang-orang Lewi, yang telah dibagi-bagi dalam rombongan oleh Daud untuk bertugas di dalam rumah TUHAN, yakni untuk mempersembahkan korban bakaran kepada TUHAN--seperti tertulis di dalam Taurat Musa--dengan sukaria dan dengan nyanyian menurut petunjuk Daud.
19 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
Juga ditempatkannya penunggu-penunggu pintu pada pintu-pintu gerbang rumah TUHAN, supaya dalam hal apapun juga jangan masuk seseorang yang najis.
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 the LORD: and they came through the Upper Gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
Sesudah itu ia mengajak para kepala pasukan seratus, para pemuka, para pemerintah rakyat dan seluruh rakyat negeri, lalu membawa raja turun dari rumah TUHAN; mereka masuk ke istana raja melalui pintu gerbang Atas, lalu mendudukkan raja ke atas takhta kerajaan.
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.
Bersukarialah seluruh rakyat negeri dan amanlah kota itu, setelah Atalya mati dibunuh dengan pedang.
