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 Jehoiada has strengthened himself, and takes the heads of the hundreds, even Azariah son of Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, into the covenant with him.

2 Mereka pergi ke semua kota di Yehuda, dan mengumpulkan orang-orang Lewi dan semua kepala kaum, lalu membawa mereka ke Yerusalem.

And they go around in Judah, and gather the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of Israel, and come 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 assembly make a covenant in the house of God with the king, and he says to them, “Behold, the son of the king reigns, as YHWH spoke 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 you do: the third of you, going in on the Sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [are] for gatekeepers of the thresholds,

5 sepertiga lagi di istana raja, dan selebihnya di Pintu Gerbang Dasar. Seluruh rakyat harus berkumpul di halaman Rumah TUHAN.

and the third [are] at the house of the king, and the third at the Foundation Gate, and all the people [are] in the courts of the house of YHWH.

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.

And none enter the house of YHWH except the priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for they [are] holy), and all the people keep the watch of YHWH;

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 have surrounded the king all around, each with his weapon in his hand, and he who has gone into the house is put to death; and be with the king in his coming in and in his going 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 do according to all that Jehoiada the priest has commanded, and each takes his men going in on the Sabbath, with those going out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest has not let away the divisions.

9 Kepada para perwira itu Yoyada membagikan tombak dan perisai milik Raja Daud yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN.

And Jehoiada the priest gives to the heads of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that [are] King David’s, that [are] 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 stations the whole of the people, and each [with] his dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house to the left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by the king, all around.

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!"

And they bring out the son of the king, and put the crown on him, and [give him] the Testimony, and cause him to reign; and Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, “Let the king live!”

12 Atalya mendengar rakyat bersorak mengelu-elukan raja. Cepat-cepat ia pergi ke Rumah TUHAN di mana orang banyak berkerumun.

And Athaliah hears the voice of the people who are running, and who are praising the king, and she comes to the people [in] the house of YHWH,

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 sees, and behold, the king is standing by his pillar in the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah tears her garments and says, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”

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."

And Jehoiada the priest brings out the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and says to them, “Take her out from within the rows, and he who has gone after her is put to death by the sword”; for the priest said, “Do not put her to death [in] the house of YHWH.”

15 Mereka menangkap dia, lalu membawanya ke istana. Di sana ia dibunuh di Pintu Gerbang Kuda.

And they make sides for her, and she comes to the entrance of the Horse Gate at the house of the king, 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 Jehoiada makes a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to YHWH;

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 all the people enter the house of Ba‘al, and break it down, indeed, they have broken his altars and his images, and they have slain Mattan priest of Ba‘al 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 Jehoiada puts the offices of the house of YHWH into the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had apportioned over the house of YHWH, to cause the burnt-offerings of YHWH to ascend, as written in the Law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands 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 stations the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of YHWH, and the unclean in anything do not go in.

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 takes the heads of the hundreds, and the majestic ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and brings down the king from the house of YHWH, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom.

21 Seluruh rakyat gembira, kota pun tenteram dan Atalya sudah dibunuh.

And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city has been quiet, and they have put Athaliah to death by the sword.
