2 Tawarikh 23
1 Pada tahun ketujuh Imam Yoyada memutuskan untuk bertindak. Ia mengadakan persepakatan dengan lima perwira, yaitu Azarya anak Yeroham, Ismail anak Yohanan, Azarya anak Obed, Maaseya anak Adaya, dan Elisafat anak Zikhri.
And in the seventh year Yehoyada' strengthened himself, and took the captains of the hundreds, 'Azaryah the son of Jerocham and Yishma'el the son of Jehochanan, and 'Azaryahu the son of 'Obed, and Ma'asseyahu the son of 'Adayahu, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, with him into a covenant.
2 Mereka pergi ke semua kota di Yehuda, dan mengumpulkan orang-orang Lewi dan semua kepala kaum, lalu membawa mereka ke Yerusalem.
And they moved about in Judah, and gathered the Levites together out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of the families of Israel; and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Mereka berkumpul di Rumah TUHAN, dan membuat perjanjian dengan Yoas, putra raja itu. Yoyada berkata kepada mereka, "Inilah putra mendiang Raja Ahazia! Ia sekarang harus naik takhta, sebab TUHAN sudah berjanji bahwa keturunan Raja Daud akan tetap memerintah.
And all the congregation made a covenant in the house of God with the king. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall be king, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the sons of David.
4 Inilah yang harus kita lakukan: Apabila para imam dan orang Lewi selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat, mereka tidak boleh pulang. Sepertiga dari mereka harus ikut menjaga di pintu-pintu gerbang Rumah TUHAN,
This is the thing that ye shall do, A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers at the thresholds;
5 sepertiga lagi di istana raja, dan selebihnya di Pintu Gerbang Dasar. Seluruh rakyat harus berkumpul di halaman Rumah TUHAN.
And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the foundation-gate; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Tidak seorang pun boleh memasuki gedung Rumah TUHAN kecuali para imam dan orang Lewi yang sedang bertugas. Mereka boleh masuk sebab mereka sudah dikhususkan untuk TUHAN. Orang-orang lain harus taat kepada peraturan TUHAN dan tinggal di luar.
But let none come into the house of the Lord, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: they shall enter, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the charge of the Lord.
7 Orang-orang Lewi harus berdiri di sekeliling raja dengan pedang terhunus, dan mengawal dia ke mana pun ia pergi. Siapa berusaha memasuki Rumah TUHAN, harus dibunuh."
And the Levites shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he who cometh into the house shall be put to death; and be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
8 Perintah Yoyada itu dilaksanakan oleh orang-orang Lewi dan rakyat Yehuda. Orang-orang yang lepas tugas pada hari Sabat tidak dibolehkan pulang. Jadi para perwira dapat mengerahkan baik orang-orang yang lepas tugas maupun yang baru datang untuk bertugas.
And the Levites and all Judah did in accordance with all that Yehoyada' the priest had commanded, and they took every man his men that came in on the sabbath, with those that were to be relieved on the sabbath; for Yehoyada' the priest had not dismissed the divisions.
9 Kepada para perwira itu Yoyada membagikan tombak dan perisai milik Raja Daud yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN.
And Yehoyada' the priest gave to the captains of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the quivers, that belonged to king David, which were in the house of God.
10 Yoyada juga menempatkan orang-orang dengan pedang terhunus di seputar bagian depan Rumah TUHAN untuk melindungi raja.
And he placed all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the temple, all round about the king,
11 Sesudah itu Yoyada membawa Yoas keluar, lalu meletakkan mahkota di kepalanya, dan menyerahkan kepadanya buku Hukum Allah. Demikianlah Yoas diangkat menjadi raja. Kemudian Imam Yoyada dengan anak-anaknya menuangkan minyak upacara penobatan pada Yoas, lalu semua orang berseru, "Hidup raja!"
Then did they bring forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and [gave him] the testimony, and they made him king. And Yehoyada' and his sons anointed him, and said, Long live the king.
12 Atalya mendengar rakyat bersorak mengelu-elukan raja. Cepat-cepat ia pergi ke Rumah TUHAN di mana orang banyak berkerumun.
And when 'Athalyah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord.
13 Ia melihat raja yang baru itu berdiri di pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN, di mana ia dinobatkan, dikelilingi oleh perwira-perwira dan peniup trompet. Seluruh rakyat bersorak gembira sambil trompet dibunyikan, dan para pemain musik di Rumah TUHAN memeriahkan perayaan itu dengan alat-alat musik mereka. Dengan cemas Atalya merobek pakaiannya dan berteriak, "Khianat! Khianat!"
And she looked, and behold, the king stood upon his stand at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets were around the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew on trumpets; also the singers [were there] leading with instruments of music in the songs of praise; and 'Athalyah rent her clothes, and said, “Treason, treason.”
14 Yoyada tidak mengizinkan Atalya dibunuh di sekitar Rumah TUHAN, jadi ia berkata kepada para perwira, "Bawalah dia ke luar melalui barisan pengawal, dan bunuh siapa saja yang berusaha menyelamatkan dia."
But Yehoyada' the priest ordered the captains of the hundreds, the commanders of the army, to go out, and said unto them, Lead her forth to within the ranges; and he that followeth her shall be put to death with the sword. For the priest had said, Ye shall not put her to death in the house of the Lord.
15 Mereka menangkap dia, lalu membawanya ke istana. Di sana ia dibunuh di Pintu Gerbang Kuda.
And they made way for her: and she went to the entrance of the horse-gate by the king's house, and they put her to death there.
16 Imam Yoyada mengajak Raja Yoas dan rakyat bersama-sama dengan dia membuat perjanjian bahwa mereka akan menjadi umat TUHAN.
And Yehoyada' made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be a people unto the Lord.
17 Setelah itu mereka semua menyerbu dan meruntuhkan kuil Baal. Mezbah serta patung-patungnya dihancurkan, dan Matan, Imam Baal dibunuh di depan mezbah-mezbah itu.
And then came all the people into the house of Ba'al, and pulled it down, and his altars and his images did they break in pieces, and Mathhan the priest of Ba'al they slew before the altars.
18 Lalu Yoyada menugaskan para imam dan orang Lewi untuk mengurus pekerjaan di Rumah TUHAN menurut pembagian kerja yang telah ditentukan oleh Raja Daud. Mereka harus mempersembahkan kurban bakaran kepada TUHAN--sesuai dengan hukum-hukum Musa--dengan perayaan dan nyanyian-nyanyian seperti yang telah diatur oleh Daud.
And Yehoyada' placed the supervision over the house of the Lord into the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had divided off over 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, after the manner of David.
19 Di pintu-pintu gerbang Rumah TUHAN, Yoyada menempatkan pengawal untuk menjaga supaya orang yang tidak patut menyembah TUHAN jangan masuk.
And he appointed the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of the Lord, that none unclean in any thing should enter therein.
20 Para perwira, para tokoh masyarakat, para pejabat pemerintah, dan seluruh rakyat mengikuti Yoyada mengarak Raja Yoas dari Rumah TUHAN ke istana. Mereka masuk dari pintu gerbang utama lalu raja duduk di atas singgasana.
And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors over the people, and all the people of the land, and he brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and they came through the midst of the upper gate into the king's house; and they caused the king to sit upon the throne of the kingdom.
21 Seluruh rakyat gembira, kota pun tenteram dan Atalya sudah dibunuh.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; but 'Athalyahu they had slain with the sword.
