2 Kings 11

1 And Athaliah [the] mother of Ahaziah (she saw *Q(K)*) that he was dead son her and she arose and she destroyed all [the] offspring of royalty.

Da Atalja, Ahazjas Moder, fik at vide, at hendes Søn var død, tog hun sig for at udrydde hele den kongelige Slægt.

2 And she took Jehosheba [the] daughter of the king Joram [the] sister of Ahaziah Joash [the] son of Ahaziah and she stole him from among [the] sons of the king (who were about to be put to death *Q(K)*) him and suckling-nurse his in [the] chamber of the beds and they hid him from before Athaliah and not he was put to death.

Men Kong Jorams Datter Josjeba, Ahazjas Søster, tog Ahazjas Søn Joas og fik ham hemmeligt af Vejen, saa han ikke var imellem Kongesønnerne, der blev dræbt, og hun gemte ham og hans, Amme i Sengekammeret og holdt ham skjult for Atalja, saa han ikke blev dræbt;

3 And he was with her [the] house of Yahweh hiding himself six years and Athaliah [was] reigning over the land.

og han var i seks Aar skjult hos Josjeba i HERRENS Hus, medens Atalja herskede i Landet.

4 And in the year seventh he sent Jehoiada and he took - [the] commanders of (the hundreds *Q(k)*) of the Carian[s] and of the runners and he brought them to himself [the] house of Yahweh and he made to them a covenant and he made to swear an oath with them in [the] house of Yahweh and he showed them [the] son of the king.

Men i det syvende Aar lod Jojada Hundredførerne for Karerne og Livvagten hente ind til sig i HERRENS Hus; og efter at have sluttet Pagt med dem og taget dem i Ed i HERRENS Hus fremstillede han Kongesønnen for dem.

5 And he commanded them saying this [is] the thing which you will do! the third [part] of you [who] come the sabbath and [who] keep [the] watch of [the] house of the king.

Derpaa bød han dem og sagde: »Saaledes skal I gøre: Den Tredje del af eder, der om Sabbaten rykker ind for at overtage Vagten i Kongens Palads,

6 And the third [part] [will be] at [the] gate of Sur and the third [part] [will be] at the gate behind the runners and you will keep [the] watch of the house by turns.

og de to Afdelinger af eder, som har Vagten i Kongens Palads — den ene Tredjedel ved Surporten, den anden ved Porten bag Livvagten —

7 And [the] two the hands in you all [those who] go out the sabbath and they will keep [the] watch of [the] house of Yahweh to the king.

og som begge om Sabbaten rykker ud for at overtage Vagten i HERRENS Hus,

8 And you will surround the king all around everyone and weapons his in hand his and the [one who] comes into the ranks he will be put to death and be with the king when goes out he and when comes he.

I skal alle med Vaaben i Haand slutte Kreds om Kongen, og enhver, der nærmer sig Rækkerne, skal dræbes. Saaledes skal I være om Kongen, naar han gaar ud, og naar han gaar ind!«

9 And they did [the] commanders of (the hundreds *Q(k)*) according to all that he commanded Jehoiada the priest and they took each men his [those who] came the sabbath with [those who] went out the sabbath and they came to Jehoiada the priest.

Hundredførerne gjorde alt hvad Præsten Jojada havde paabudt, idet de tog hver sine Folk, baade dem, der rykkede ud, og dem, der rykkede ind om Sabbaten, og kom til Præsten Jojada.

10 And he gave the priest to [the] commanders of (the hundreds *Q(k)*) the spear and the shields which [had belonged] to the king David which [were] in [the] house of Yahweh.

Og Præsten gav Hundredførerne Spydene og Skjoldene, som havde tilhørt Kong David og var i HERRENS Hus.

11 And they stood the runners everyone - and weapons his 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.

Livvagten stillede sig, alle med Vaaben i Haand, fra Templets Syd side til Nordsiden, hen til Alteret og derfra igen hen til Templet, rundt om Kongen.

12 And he brought out [the] son of the king and he put on him the crown and the testimony and they made king him and they anointed him and they struck a palm and they said may he live the king.

Saa førte han Kongesønnen ud og satte Kronen og Armspangene paa ham; derefter udraabte de ham til Konge og salvede ham; og de klappede i Hænderne og raabte: »Kongen leve!«

13 And she heard Athaliah [the] sound of the runners the people and she went to the people [the] house of Yahweh.

Da Atalja hørte Larmen af Folket, gik hun hen til Folket i HERRENS Hus,

14 And she saw and there! the king [was] standing at the pillar according to the custom and the commanders and the trumpets [were] with the king and all [the] people of the land [was] joyful and [was] giving a blast on trumpets and she tore Athaliah clothes her and she called out treason treason.

og der saa hun Kongen staa ved Søjlen, som Skik var, og Øversterne og Trompetblæserne ved Siden af, medens alt Folket fra Landet jublede og blæste i Trompeterne. Da sønderrev Atalja sine Klæder og raabte: »Forræderi, Forræderi!«

15 And he commanded Jehoiada the priest [the] commanders of (the hundreds *Q(k)*) [the] officers of the army and he said to them bring out her to from between to the ranks and the [one who] comes behind her put to death with the sword for he had said the priest may not she be put to death [the] house of Yahweh.

Men Præsten Jojada bød Hundredførerne, Hærens Befalingsmænd: »Før hende uden for Forgaardene og hug enhver ned, der følger hende!« Præsten sagde nemlig: »Hun skal ikke dræbes i HERRENS Hus!«

16 And they put to her hands and she went [the] way of [the] entrance of the horses [the] house of the king and she was put to death there.

Saa greb de hende, og da hun ad Hesteindgangen var kommet til Kongens Palads, blev hun dræbt der.

17 And he made Jehoiada the covenant between Yahweh and between the king and between the people to become a people of Yahweh and between the king and between the people.

Men Jojada sluttede Pagt mellem HERREN og Folket og Kongen om, at de skulde være HERRENS Folk, ligeledes mellem Kongen og Folket.

18 And they went all [the] people of the land [the] house of Baal and they pulled down it (altars its *Q(K)*) and images its they broke thoroughly and Mattan [the] priest of Baal they killed before the altars and he appointed the priest overseers over [the] house of Yahweh.

Og alt Folket fra Landet begav sig til Ba'als Hus og nedbrød det; Altrene og Billederne ødelagde de i Bund og Grund, og Ba'als Præst Mattan dræbte de foran Altrene. Derpaa satte Præsten Vagtposter ved HERRENS Hus;

19 And he took [the] commanders of the hundreds and the Carian[s] and the runners and - all [the] people of the land and they took down the king from [the] house of Yahweh and they came [the] way of [the] gate of the runners [the] house of the king and he sat on [the] throne of the kings.

og han tog Hundredførerne, Karerne og Livvagten, desuden alt Folket fra Landet med sig, og de førte Kongen ned fra HERRENS Hus, gik igennem Livvagtens Port til Kongens Palads, og han satte sig paa Kongetronen.

20 And it rejoiced all [the] people of the land and the city it was at peace and Athaliah they had put to death with the sword [the] house of (the king. *Q(K)*)

Da glædede alt Folket fra Landet sig, og Byen holdt sig rolig. Men Atalja huggede de ned i Kongens Palads.

21 [was] a son of Seven years Jehoash when became king he.

Joas var syv Aar gammel, da han blev Konge.
