2 Chronicles 23
1 And 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 Zichri, into covenant with him.
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 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the fathers 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 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons 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 the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of 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 And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
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 But let none come into the house of the LORD, except the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
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 And the Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth 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 did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
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 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which 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 And he set all the people, every man having 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, by the king on all sides.
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, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save 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 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
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 stood at his pillar at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, 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 captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Have her forth between the ranks: and whoever followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
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 laid hands on her; and when she had come to the entrance of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there.
E eles lhe lançaram as mãos, e ela foi à entrada da porta dos cavalos, da casa do rei: e ali a mataram.
16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’S people.
E Joiada fez aliança entre si, e o povo, e o rei, que seriam o povo do Senhor.
17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the 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 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed 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, as it was ordained by David.
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 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter.
E pôs porteiros às portas da casa do Senhor, para que não entrasse nela ninguém imundo em coisa alguma.
20 And 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 high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon 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 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
E todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade ficou em paz, depois que mataram a Athalia à espada.
