2 Chronicles 23
1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada showed his strength and entered into a covenant with the commanders of hundreds, Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.
Porém no sétimo ano Joiada se esforçou, e tomou consigo em aliança os chefes das centenas, a Azarias, filho de Joroão, e a Ishmael, filho de Jahanan, e a Azarias, filho d'Obed, e a Maaseias, filho d'Adaias, e a Elisaphat, filho de Sicri.
2 They went about in Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, as well as the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Estes rodearam a Judá e ajuntaram os levitas de todas as cidades de Judá e os cabeças dos pais de Israel, e vieram para Jerusalém.
3 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. Jehoiada said to them, “See, the king's son will reign, as Yahweh has said concerning the descendants of David.
E toda aquela congregação fez aliança com o rei na casa de Deus: e Joiada lhes disse: Eis que o filho do rei reinará, como o Senhor falou a respeito dos filhos de David.
4 This is what you must do: A third of you priests and Levites who come to serve on the Sabbath will be guards at the doors.
Esta é a coisa que haveis de fazer: uma terça parte de vós, os sacerdotes e os levitas que entram de sábado, serão porteiros das portas;
5 Another third will be at the king's house, and the other third will be at the Foundation Gate. All the people will be in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh.
E uma terça parte estará na casa do rei; e a outra terça parte à porta do fundamento: e todo o povo estará nos pátios da casa do Senhor.
6 Allow no one to come into the house of Yahweh, except for the priests and the Levites who are serving. They may enter because they are consecrated. But all the other people must obey the commands of Yahweh.
Porém ninguém entre na casa do Senhor, senão os sacerdotes e os levitas que ministram; estes entrarão, porque santos são; mas todo o povo vigiará a guarda do Senhor,
7 The Levites must surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be killed. Stay with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
E os levitas rodeiarão ao rei em volta, cada um com as suas armas na mão; e qualquer que entrar na casa morrerá; porém vós estareis com o rei, quando entrar e quando sair
8 So the Levites and all Judah served in every way in the manner in which Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one took his men, those who were to come in to serve on the Sabbath, and those who were to leave off serving on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed any of their divisions.
E fizeram os levitas e todo o Judá conforme a tudo o que ordenara o sacerdote Joiada; e tomou cada um os seus homens, os que entravam no sábado com os que saiam do sábado; porque o sacerdote Joiada não tinha despedido as turmas.
9 Then Jehoiada the priest brought to the commanders spears and small and large shields that had been King David's that were in the house of God.
Também o sacerdote Joiada deu aos chefes das centenas as lanças, e os escudos, e as rodelas que foram do rei David os quais estavam na casa de Deus.
10 Jehoiada placed all the soldiers, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, surrounding the king.
E dispoz todo o povo, e a cada um com as suas armas na sua mão, desde a banda direita da casa até à banda esquerda da casa, da banda do altar e da casa, à roda do rei
11 Then they brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant decrees. Then they made him king, and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. Then they said, “Long live the king.”
Então tiraram para fora ao filho do rei, e lhe puseram a coroa; deram-lhe o testemunho, e o fizeram rei: e Joiada e seus filhos o ungiram, e disseram: Viva o rei!
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people in the house of Yahweh,
Ouvindo pois Athalia a voz do povo que concorria e louvava o rei, veio ao povo, à casa do Senhor.
13 and she looked, and, behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the commanders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and the singers were playing musical instruments and leading the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”
E olhou: e eis que o rei estava perto da sua coluna, à entrada, e os chefes, e as trombetas junto ao rei; e todo o povo da terra estava alegre, e tocava as trombetas; e também os cantores tocavam instrumentos músicos, e davam a entender que se deviam cantar louvores: então Athalia rasgou os seus vestidos, e clamou: Traição, traição!
14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of hundreds who were over the army and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; anyone who follows her, let him be killed with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not kill her in the house of Yahweh.”
Porém o sacerdote Joiada tirou para fora os centuriões que estavam postos sobre o exército e disse-lhes: tirai-a para fora das fileiras, e o que a seguir, morrerá à espada: porque dissera o sacerdote: Não a matareis na casa do Senhor
15 So they seized her as she went into the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's house, and there they killed her.
E eles lhe lançaram as mãos, e ela foi à entrada da porta dos cavalos, da casa do rei: e ali a mataram.
16 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh's people.
E Joiada fez aliança entre si, e o povo, e o rei, que seriam o povo do Senhor.
17 So all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal's altars and his images to pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars.
Depois todo o povo entrou na casa de Baal, e a derribaram, e quebraram os seus altares, e as suas imagens, e a Mathan, sacerdote de Baal, mataram diante dos altares.
18 Jehoiada appointed officers for the house of Yahweh under the hand of the priests, who were Levites, whom David had assigned to the house of Yahweh, to offer the burnt offerings to Yahweh, as it was written in the law of Moses, together with rejoicing and singing, as David had given direction.
E Joiada ordenou os ofícios na casa do Senhor, debaixo da mão dos sacerdotes, os levitas a quem David repartira na casa do Senhor, para offerecerem os holocaustos do Senhor, como está escrito na lei de Moisés, com alegria e com canto, conforme a instituição de David.
19 Jehoiada set guards at the gates of the house of Yahweh, so that no one that was unclean in any way should enter.
E pôs porteiros às portas da casa do Senhor, para que não entrasse nela ninguém imundo em coisa alguma.
20 Jehoiada took with him the commanders of hundreds, the noblemen, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land. He brought down the king from the house of Yahweh; the people came through the Upper Gate to the king's house and sat the king on the throne of the kingdom.
E tomou os centuriões, e os poderosos, e os que tinham domínio entre o povo e todo o povo da terra, e conduziu o rei da casa do Senhor, e entraram na casa do rei pelo meio da porta maior, e assentaram o rei no trono do reino.
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. As for Athaliah, they had killed her with the sword.
E todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade ficou em paz, depois que mataram a Athalia à espada.
