2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the year seventh he strengthened himself Jehoiada and he took [the] commanders of the hundreds to Azariah [the] son of Jeroham and to Ishmael [the] son of Jehohanan and to Azariah [the] son of Obed and with Maaseiah [the] son of Adaiah and with Elishaphat [the] son of Zikri with himself in covenant.
Pero en el séptimo año, Joiada tuvo el valor de actuar. Hizo un compromiso con los comandantes de centenas: Azarías, hijo de Jeroham, Ismael, hijo de Johanán, Azarías, hijo de Obed, Maasías, hijo de Adaías, y Elisafat, hijo de Zicri.
2 And they went around in Judah and they gathered the Levites from all [the] cities of Judah and [the] heads of the fathers of Israel and they came to Jerusalem.
Recorrieron todo Judá y reunieron a los levitas de todas las ciudades de Judá y a los jefes de familia de Israel. Cuando llegaron a Jerusalén,
3 And it made all the assembly a covenant in [the] house of God with the king and he said to them here! [the] son of the king he will reign just as he spoke Yahweh on [the] sons of David.
se reunieron todos en el Templo de Dios e hicieron un acuerdo solemne con el rey. Joiada les anunció: “Miren, aquí está el hijo del rey y debe reinar, tal como el Señor prometió que lo harían los descendientes de David.
4 This [is] the thing which you will do the third [part] of you [who] come of the sabbath to the priests and to the Levites [will become] [the] gatekeepers of the thresholds.
Esto es lo que tienen que hacer. Un tercio de ustedes, sacerdotes y levitas, que entran en sábado, vigilarán las entradas.
5 And the third [part] [will be] at [the] house of the king and the third [part] [will be] at [the] gate of the foundation and all the people [will be] in [the] courts of [the] house of Yahweh.
Otro tercio irá al palacio del rey, mientras que el último tercio estará en la Puerta de los Cimientos. Todos los demás se quedarán en los patios del Templo del Señor.
6 And may not anyone go [the] house of Yahweh that except the priests and those [who] are serving of the Levites they they will go for [are] holiness they and all the people they will keep [the] duty of Yahweh.
Nadie debe entrar en el Templo del Señor, excepto los sacerdotes y los levitas que estén sirviendo. Ellos pueden entrar porque han sido santificados, pero todos los demás deben seguir los mandatos del Señor.
7 And they will surround the Levites the king all around each man and weapons his in hand his and the [one who] comes into the house he will be put to death and be with the king when comes he and when goes out he.
Los levitas rodearán al rey, con las armas en la mano. Maten a cualquiera que entre en el Templo. Permanezcan cerca del rey dondequiera que vaya”.
8 And they did the Levites and all Judah according to all that he had commanded Jehoiada the priest and they took each men his [who] were coming of the sabbath with [who] were going out of the sabbath for not he dismissed Jehoiada the priest the divisions.
Los levitas y todo el pueblo de Judá hicieron todo lo que les dijo el sacerdote Joiada. Los comandantes trajeron cada uno sus hombres, tanto los que entraban en servicio el sábado como los que salían de servicio, pues el sacerdote Joiada no había despedido a ninguna de las divisiones.
9 And he gave Jehoiada the priest to [the] commanders of the hundreds the spears and the shields and the shields which [had belonged] to the king David which [were] [the] house of God.
El sacerdote Joiada proporcionó a los comandantes las lanzas y los escudos grandes y pequeños del rey David que estaban en el Templo de Dios.
10 And he stationed all the people and each - weapon his [was] in hand his from [the] side of the house south to [the] side of the house north to the altar and to the house at the king all around.
Los colocó a todos, con sus armas en la mano, para rodear al rey desde el lado sur del Templo hasta el lado norte, y cerca del altar y del Templo.
11 And they brought out [the] son of the king and they put on him the crown and the testimony and they made king him and they anointed him Jehoiada and sons his and they said may he live the king.
Entonces Joiada y sus hijos sacaron al hijo del rey, le pusieron la corona y le entregaron un ejemplar de la ley de Dios, y lo proclamaron rey. Lo ungieron y gritaron: “¡Viva el rey!”.
12 And she heard Athaliah [the] sound of the people who were running and who were praising the king and she came to the people [the] house of Yahweh.
Cuando Atalía oyó el ruido de la gente que corría y gritaba alabanzas al rey, se apresuró a acercarse a la multitud en el Templo del Señor.
13 And she saw and there! the king [was] standing at pillar his at the entrance and the officials and the trumpets [were] with the king and all [the] people of the land [was] joyful and [was] giving a blast on trumpets and the singers with [the] instruments of song [were] leading to praise and she tore Athaliah clothes her and she said treason treason.
Vio al rey de pie junto a su columna en la entrada. Los comandantes y los trompetistas estaban con el rey, y todos celebraban y tocaban las trompetas mientras los cantantes con instrumentos musicales dirigían las alabanzas. Atalía se rasgó las vestiduras y gritó: “¡Traición! Traición!”
14 And he sent out Jehoiada the priest [the] commanders of the hundreds - [the] officers of the army and he said to them bring out her to from between the ranks and the [one who] goes after her he will be put to death with the sword for he had said the priest not you must put to death her [the] house of Yahweh.
Joiada ordenó a los comandantes del ejército: “Llévenla ante los hombres que están frente al Templo y maten a cualquiera que la siga”. Antes, el sacerdote había dejado claro: “No deben matarla en el Templo del Señor”.
15 And they put to her hands and she went to [the] entrance of [the] gate of the horses [the] house of the king and they put to death her there.
La agarraron y la llevaron a la entrada de la Puerta de los Caballos del palacio del rey, y allí la mataron.
16 And he made Jehoiada a covenant between himself and between all the people and between the king to become a people of Yahweh.
Entonces Joiada hizo un acuerdo solemne entre él y todo el pueblo y el rey de que serían el pueblo del Señor.
17 And they went all the people [the] house of Baal and they pulled down it and altars its and images its they broke and Mattan [the] priest of Baal they killed before the altars.
Todos fueron al templo de Baal y derribaron sus altares y destrozaron los ídolos. Mataron a Matán, el sacerdote de Baal, delante del altar.
18 And he put Jehoiada [the] oversight of [the] house of Yahweh in [the] hand of the priests the Levites whom he had assigned David over [the] house of Yahweh to offer up [the] burnt offerings of Yahweh according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses with joy and with song on [the] hands of David.
Joiada puso la responsabilidad del Templo del Señor en manos de los sacerdotes levitas. Ellos eran los que David había designado para que estuvieran a cargo del Templo del Señor y ofrecieran holocaustos al Señor, como lo exige la Ley de Moisés, con celebraciones y cantos, según las instrucciones de David.
19 And he stationed the gatekeepers at [the] gates of [the] house of Yahweh and not he came a [person] unclean to any matter.
Puso porteros en las entradas del Templo del Señor, para que no entrara nadie impuro por ningún motivo.
20 And he took [the] commanders of the hundreds and the nobles and the rulers over the people and - all [the] people of the land and he brought down the king from [the] house of Yahweh and they came in [the] middle of [the] gate upper [the] house of the king and they made sit the king on [the] throne of royalty.
Junto con los comandantes, los nobles, los gobernantes del pueblo y todo el pueblo, hizo bajar al rey en procesión desde el Templo del Señor por la puerta superior hasta el palacio real. Allí colocaron al rey en el trono real.
21 And they rejoiced all [the] people of the land and the city it was at peace and Athaliah they had put to death with the sword.
En todo el país la gente celebró, y Jerusalén estaba en paz, porque Atalía había sido muerta a espada.
