2 Tawarikh 23

1 Tetapi dalam tahun ketujuh Yoyada memberanikan diri dan ia mengadakan persepakatan dengan para kepala pasukan seratus, yakni: Azarya bin Yeroham, Ismael bin Yohanan, Azarya bin Obed. Maaseya bin Adaya, dan Elisafat bin Zikhri.

And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them.

2 Mereka mengelilingi Yehuda dan mengumpulkan orang-orang Lewi dari semua kota di Yehuda serta kepala-kepala puak orang Israel, dan mereka semua datang ke Yerusalem.

And they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

3 Lalu seluruh jemaah itu mengikat perjanjian dengan raja di rumah Allah. Kata Yoyada kepada mereka: "Lihatlah, anak raja! Biarlah ia memerintah, seperti yang telah difirmankan TUHAN tentang anak-anak Daud!

And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David.

4 Inilah yang harus kamu lakukan: sepertiga dari kamu, yakni yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat, baik imam maupun orang Lewi, haruslah menjadi penunggu pintu,

And this is the thing that you shall do:

5 sepertiga lagi haruslah berada di istana raja, dan sepertiga pula di pintu gerbang Dasar, sedang seluruh rakyat haruslah berada di pelataran rumah TUHAN.

A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters, shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king’s house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.

6 Siapapun tidak boleh memasuki rumah TUHAN selain dari pada para imam dan orang-orang Lewi yang bertugas. Mereka boleh masuk, karena mereka kudus, tetapi seluruh rakyat haruslah mentaati peraturan TUHAN.

And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord.

7 Dalam pada itu orang-orang Lewi haruslah mengelilingi raja dari segala penjuru, masing-masing dengan senjatanya di tangannya, dan siapa yang memasuki rumah itu haruslah dibunuh. Dan baiklah kamu menyertai raja setiap kali ia keluar atau masuk."

And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; (and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; ) and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out.

8 Orang-orang Lewi dan seluruh Yehuda melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan imam Yoyada. Masing-masing mengambil orang-orangnya yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang masuk bertugas pada hari itu, karena imam Yoyada tidak membebaskan rombongan-rombongan itu.

So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest bad commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week.

9 Lalu imam Yoyada memberikan kepada para kepala pasukan seratus itu tombak-tombak, utar-utar dan perisai-perisai kepunyaan raja Daud yang ada di rumah Allah.

And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.

10 Ia menempatkan seluruh rakyat, masing-masing dengan lembing di tangannya, di lambung kanan sampai ke lambung kiri rumah itu, dengan mengelilingi mezbah dan rumah itu untuk melindungi raja.

And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about the king.

11 Sesudah itu Yoyada dan anak-anaknya membawa anak raja itu ke luar, mengenakan jejamang kepadanya dan memberikan hukum Allah kepadanya. Mereka menobatkan dia menjadi raja serta mengurapinya, lalu berserulah rakyat: "Hiduplah raja!"

And they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king.

12 Ketika Atalya mendengar pekik rakyat yang berlari-lari menyambut raja dan memuji-muji dia, pergilah ia mendapatkan rakyat itu ke dalam rumah TUHAN.

Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the Lord.

13 Lalu dilihatnyalah raja berdiri dekat tiangnya pada jalan masuk, sedang para pemimpin dengan para pemegang nafiri ada dekat raja. Dan seluruh rakyat negeri bersukaria sambil meniup nafiri, sedang para penyanyi dengan alat-alat musik mereka, memimpin nyanyian puji-pujian. Maka Atalya mengoyakkan pakaiannya sambil berkata: "Khianat, khianat!"

And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason.

14 Tetapi imam Yoyada menyuruh keluar para kepala pasukan seratus, yakni orang-orang yang mengepalai tentara, katanya kepada mereka: "Bawalah dia keluar dari antara barisan! Siapa yang memihak kepadanya harus dibunuh dengan pedang!" Sebab imam itu telah berkata tadinya: "Jangan kamu membunuhnya di rumah TUHAN!"

And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.

15 Lalu mereka menangkap perempuan itu. Pada waktu ia sampai ke jalan masuk istana raja pada pintu gerbang Kuda, dibunuhlah ia di situ.

And they laid hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there.

16 Kemudian Yoyada mengikat perjanjian antara dia dengan segenap rakyat dan raja, bahwa mereka menjadi umat TUHAN.

And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the Lord.

17 Sesudah itu masuklah seluruh rakyat ke rumah Baal, lalu merobohkannya; mereka memecahkan mezbah-mezbahnya dan patung-patungnya dan membunuh Matan, imam Baal, di depan mezbah-mezbah itu.

And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars.

18 Kemudian Yoyada menyerahkan pengawasan atas rumah TUHAN kepada imam-imam dan orang-orang Lewi, yang telah dibagi-bagi dalam rombongan oleh Daud untuk bertugas di dalam rumah TUHAN, yakni untuk mempersembahkan korban bakaran kepada TUHAN--seperti tertulis di dalam Taurat Musa--dengan sukaria dan dengan nyanyian menurut petunjuk Daud.

And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David.

19 Juga ditempatkannya penunggu-penunggu pintu pada pintu-pintu gerbang rumah TUHAN, supaya dalam hal apapun juga jangan masuk seseorang yang najis.

He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in.

20 Sesudah itu ia mengajak para kepala pasukan seratus, para pemuka, para pemerintah rakyat dan seluruh rakyat negeri, lalu membawa raja turun dari rumah TUHAN; mereka masuk ke istana raja melalui pintu gerbang Atas, lalu mendudukkan raja ke atas takhta kerajaan.

And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king’s house, and set him on the royal throne.

21 Bersukarialah seluruh rakyat negeri dan amanlah kota itu, setelah Atalya mati dibunuh dengan pedang.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword.
