2 Kings 11
1 Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and killed all the royal children.
Då Atalja, mor åt Ahazja, fekk vita at son hennar var dåen, tok ho seg fyre å tyna heile kongsætti.
2 But Jehosheba, a daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and hid him away from among the king's sons who were killed, along with his nurse; she put them into a bedroom. They hid him from Athaliah so that he was not killed.
Men nett med same kongssønerne skulde lata livet, tok Joseba, dotter åt kong Joram, syster åt Ahazja, fekk taka i Joas Ahazjason og berga honom undan saman med fostermor hans, inn i sengkammerset, og soleis løynde dei honom for Atalja, so han ikkje vart drepen.
3 He remained with her six years, hidden in the house of Yahweh, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
So var han hjå henne i Herrens hus, burtgøymd, i seks år, medan Atalja styrde landet.
4 In the seventh year, Jehoiada sent messages and brought the commanders of hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to himself, into the temple of Yahweh. He made a covenant with them, and he made them swear an oath in the house of Yahweh. Then he showed them the king's son.
I det sjuande året sende Jojada bod og henta hovudsmennerne for livvakti og førde deim inn til seg i Herrens hus. Og han hadde gjort ein avtale med deim og teke deim i eid der i Herrens hus, synte han deim kongssonen.
5 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do. A third of you who come on the Sabbath will keep watch over the king's house,
So baud han deim: «Høyr no korleis de skal fara åt: Den eine tridjepart av dykk som tek vakthaldet på kviledagen, skal halda vakt i kongsgarden,
6 and a third will be at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guardhouse.”
den andre tridjeparten i Sur-porten, tridje tridjeparten i porten bak drabantarne; de skal greida vakti til vern åt huset.
7 The two other groups who are not serving on the Sabbath, you must keep the watch over the house of Yahweh for the king.
Båe dei hine vaktskifti, alle dei av dykk som skulde verta avløyste frå vakt på kviledagen, dei skal halda vakt um kongen i Herrens hus;
8 You must surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever enters within your ranks, let him be killed. You must stay with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.
de skal gjera manngard rundt ikring kongen, kvar mann med våpn i hand! kjem nokon innpå rekkjorne, so hogg honom ned! Soleis skal de vera med kongen både når han gjeng ut, og når han gjeng inn.»
9 So the commanders of hundreds obeyed everything 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 stop serving on that Sabbath; and they came to Jehoiada the priest.
Hovudsmennerne gjorde alt soleis som presten Jojada baud; kvar og ein tok sine folk, både dei som skulde taka ved vakti um kviledagen og dei som skulde ganga frå um kviledagen; dei kom til presten Jojada,
10 Then Jehoiada the priest gave the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields that belonged to King David and that were in the house of Yahweh.
og presten gav hovudsmennerne dei spjoti og dei skjoldarne som kong David hadde ått, og som var i Herrens hus.
11 So the guards stood, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side, near the altar and the temple, surrounding the king.
Livvakti tok post, kvar med våpn i hand, frå sudsida av huset til nordsida av huset, til altaret, og derifrå til huset att, i manngard kring kongen.
12 Then Jehoiada brought out the king's son Joash, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant decrees. Then they made him king and anointed him. They clapped their hands and said, “Long live the king!”
So leidde han kongssonen ut og sette på honom kruna og gav honom lovi. Dei tok honom til konge og salva honom, klappa i henderne og ropa: «Live kongen!»
13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people in the house of Yahweh.
Då Atalja høyrde ropet frå livvakti og folket, gjekk ho til Herrens hus, der folket stod.
14 She looked, and, behold, the king was standing by the pillar, as the custom was, and the captains and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”
Der fekk ho då sjå kongen standa på den høge tramen, som skikken var, og hovudsmennerne og lurblåsarane attmed kongen, og alt landsens folk som fegnast og bles i lur. Då reiv Atalja sund klædi sine og ropa: «Samansverjing, samansverjing!»
15 Then Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds who were over the army, saying, “Bring her out between the ranks. Anyone who follows her, kill him with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of Yahweh.”
Presten Jojada baud hovudsmennerne, herførarne: «Leid henne ut millom rekkjorne!» sagde han til deim, «og er so nokon fylgjer etter henne, so hogg honom ned!» Presten vilde ikkje ho skulde verta drepi i Herrens hus.
16 So they seized her as she reached the place where the horses enter the palace grounds, and there she was killed.
Dei tok henne då og førde henne inn i kongsgarden gjenom hesteporten; og der let ho livet.
17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and people, that they should be Yahweh's people, and also between the king and the people.
Jojada gjorde den pakti millom Herren og kongen og folket, at dei skulde vera Herrens folk. Ogso millom kongen og folket gjorde han semja.
18 So all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal's altars and his idol figures to pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars. Then Jehoida the priest appointed guards over the temple of Yahweh.
Alt landsens folk gjekk so av stad burt til Ba’als-huset og reiv det ned, og altari hans og bilæti krasa dei i mol og mask. Mattan, Ba’als-presten, drap dei framfor altari. So sette Jojada vaktmenner ved Herrens hus.
19 Jehoida took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guard, and all the people of the land, and together they brought down the king from the house of Yahweh and they went into the king's house, entering by way of the gate of the guards. Joash took his place on the royal throne.
Deretter tok han med seg hovudsmennerne og livvakti og alt landsens folk, og dei førde kongen frå Herrens hus inn i kongsgarden gjenom livvakt-porten. Han sette seg på kongsstolen,
20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been killed with the sword at the king's house.
og alt folket fegnast; og byen kom til ro. Men Atalja hadde dei hogge i hel i kongsgarden.
21 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign.
Sju år gamall var Joas då han vart konge.
