2 Kings 11
1 And Athaliah [is] mother of Ahaziah, and she hath seen that her son [is] dead, and she riseth, and destroyeth all the seed of the kingdom;
Da Atalja, Ahazjas Moder, fik at vide, at hendes Søn var død, tog hun sig for at udrydde hele den kongelige Slægt.
2 and Jehosheba daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him out of the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, him and his nurse, in the inner part of the bed-chambers, and they hide him from the presence of Athaliah, and he hath not been 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 is with her, in the house of Jehovah, hiding himself, six years, and Athaliah is 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 seventh year hath Jehoiada sent and taketh the heads of the hundreds, of the executioners and of the runners, and bringeth them in unto him, to the house of Jehovah, and maketh with them a covenant, and causeth them to swear in the house of Jehovah, and sheweth 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 commandeth them, saying, 'This [is] the thing that ye do; The third of you [are] going in on the sabbath, and keepers of the charge 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 [is] at the gate of Sur, and the third at the gate behind the runners, and ye have kept the charge of the house pulled down;
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 two parts of you, all going out on the sabbath — they have kept the charge of the house of Jehovah about the king,
og som begge om Sabbaten rykker ud for at overtage Vagten i HERRENS Hus,
8 and ye have compassed the king round about, each with his weapons in his hand, and he who is coming unto the ranges is put to death; and be ye with the king in his going out and in his coming in.'
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 the heads of the hundreds do according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and take each his men going in on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, and come in unto 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 the priest giveth to the heads of the hundreds the spears and the shields that king David had, that [are] in the house of Jehovah.
Og Præsten gav Hundredførerne Spydene og Skjoldene, som havde tilhørt Kong David og var i HERRENS Hus.
11 And the runners stand, each with his weapons in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house unto the left shoulder of the house, by the altar and by the house, by the king round about;
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 bringeth out the son of the king, and putteth on him the crown, and the testimony, and they make him king, and anoint him, and smite the hand, and say, 'Let the king live.'
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 Athaliah heareth the voice of the runners [and] of the people, and she cometh in unto the people, to the house of Jehovah,
Da Atalja hørte Larmen af Folket, gik hun hen til Folket i HERRENS Hus,
14 and looketh, and lo, the king is standing by the pillar, according to the ordinance, and the heads, and the trumpets, [are] by the king, and all the people of the land are rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, and Athaliah rendeth her garments, and calleth, 'Conspiracy! conspiracy!'
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 Jehoiada the priest commandeth the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and saith unto them, 'Bring her out unto the outside of the ranges, and him who is going after her, put to death by the sword:' for the priest had said, 'Let her not be put to death in the house of Jehovah.'
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 make for her sides, and she entereth the way of the entering in of the horses to the house of the king, and is put to death there.
Saa greb de hende, og da hun ad Hesteindgangen var kommet til Kongens Palads, blev hun dræbt der.
17 And Jehoiada maketh the covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, to be for a people to Jehovah, and between the king and 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 all the people of the land go in to the house of Baal, and break it down, its altars and its images they have thoroughly broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars; and the priest setteth inspectors over the house of Jehovah,
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 taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the executioners, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they bring down the king from the house of Jehovah, and come by the way of the gate of the runners, to the house of the king, and he sitteth 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 all the people of the land rejoice, and the city [is] quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword in the house of the king;
Da glædede alt Folket fra Landet sig, og Byen holdt sig rolig. Men Atalja huggede de ned i Kongens Palads.
21 a son of seven years is Jehoash in his reigning.
Joas var syv Aar gammel, da han blev Konge.
