Ii Paralipomenon 23
1 Anno autem septimo confortatus Ioiada, assumpsit centuriones, Azariam videlicet filium Ieroham, et Ismahel filium Iohanan, Azariam quoque filium Obed, et Maasiam filium Adaiae, et Elisaphat filium Zechri: et iniit cum eis foedus.
And in the eighth year Jodae strengthened [himself], and took the captains of hundreds, Azarias the son of Joram, and Ismael the son of Joanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasaeas the son of Adia, and Elisaphan the son of Zacharias, with him to the house of the Lord.
2 Qui circumeuntes Iudam, congregaverunt Levitas de cunctis urbibus Iuda, et principes familiarum Israel, veneruntque in Ierusalem.
And they went round about Juda, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and heads of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Iniit ergo omnis multitudo pactum in domo Dei cum rege: dixitque ad eos Ioiada: Ecce filius regis regnabit, sicut locutus est Dominus super filios David.
and all the congregation of Juda made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he showed them the king's son, and said to them, Behold, let the king's son reign, as the Lord said concerning the house of David.
4 Iste est ergo sermo quem facietis:
Now this [is] the thing which you shall do. Let a third part of you, [even] of the priests and of the Levites, enter in on the sabbath, even into the gates of the entrances;
5 Tertia pars vestrum qui veniunt ad Sabbatum, Sacerdotum, et Levitarum, et ianitorum erit in portis: tertia vero pars ad domum regis: et tertia ad portam, quae appellatur Fundamenti: omne vero reliquum vulgus sit in atriis domus Domini.
and let a third part be in the house of the king; and another third at the middle gate: and all the people in the courts of the Lord's house.
6 Nec quispiam alius ingrediatur domum Domini, nisi Sacerdotes, et qui ministrant de Levitis: ipsi tantummodo ingrediantur, quia sanctificati sunt: et omne reliquum vulgus observet custodias Domini.
And let not [any one] enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests and the Levites, and the servants of the Levites; they shall enter in, because they are holy: and let all the people keep the watch of the Lord.
7 Levitae autem circumdent regem, habentes singuli arma sua: (et si quis alius ingressus fuerit templum, interficiatur) sintque cum rege et intrante et egrediente.
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man's weapon in his hand; and whoever [else] goes into the house shall die: but they shall be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.
8 Fecerunt ergo Levitae, et universus Iuda iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat Ioiada pontifex: et assumpserunt singuli viros qui sub se erant, et veniebant per ordinem sabbati, cum his qui impleverant sabbatum, et egressi erant. siquidem Ioiada pontifex non dimiserat abire turmas, quae sibi per singulas hebdomadas succedere consueverant.
And the Levites and all Juda did according to all that the priest Jodae commanded them, and they took each his men from the beginning of the sabbath to the end of the sabbath, for Jodae the priest did not dismiss the courses.
9 Deditque Ioiada sacerdos centurionibus lanceas, clypeosque et peltas regis David, quas consecraverat in domo Domini.
And Jodae gave to the men the swords, and the shields, and the arms, which [had] belonged to King David, in the house of God.
10 Constituitque omnem populum tenentium pugiones a parte templi dextra, usque ad partem templi sinistram, coram altari, et templo, per circuitum regis.
And he set the whole people, every man with his arms, from the right side of the house to the left side of the altar and the house, over against the king round about.
11 Et eduxerunt filium regis, et imposuerunt ei diadema, et testimonium, dederuntque in manu eius tenendam legem, et constituerunt eum regem: unxit quoque illum Ioiada pontifex, et filii eius: imprecatique sunt ei, atque dixerunt: Vivat rex.
And he brought out the king's son, and put on him the crown and the testimony, and Jodae the priest and his sons proclaimed him king, and anointed him, and said, Long live the king!
12 Quod cum audisset Athalia, vocem scilicet currentium atque laudantium regem, ingressa est ad populum in templum Domini.
And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and acknowledging and praising the king: and she went in to the king into the house of the Lord.
13 Cumque vidisset regem stantem super gradum in introitu, et principes, turmasque circa eum, omnemque populum terrae gaudentem, atque clangentem tubis, et diversi generis organis concinentem, vocemque laudantium, scidit vestimenta sua, et ait: Insidiae, insidiae.
And she looked, and, behold, the king [stood] in his place, and the princes and trumpets were at the entrance, and the princes were round the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded the trumpets, and there were the singers singing with instruments, and singing hymns of praise. and Gotholia tore her robe, and cried, you surely are plotting against [me].
14 Egressus autem Ioiada pontifex ad centuriones, et principes exercitus, dixit eis: Educite illam extra septa templi, et interficiatur foris gladio. Praecepitque sacerdos ne occideretur in domo Domini.
And Jodae the priest went forth, and Jodae the priest charged the captains of hundreds, even the captains of the host, and said to them, Thrust her forth outside the house, and follow her, and let her be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.
15 Et imposuerunt cervicibus eius manus: cumque intrasset portam equorum domus regis, interfecerunt eam ibi.
So they let her go [out]; and she went through the horsemen's gate of the house of the king, and they killed her there.
16 Pepigit autem Ioiada foedus inter se, universumque populum, et regem, ut esset populus Domini.
And Jodae made a covenant between himself, and the people, and the king, that the people should be the Lord's.
17 Itaque ingressus est omnis populus domum Baal, et destruxerunt eam: et altaria ac simulacra illius confregerunt: Mathan quoque sacerdotem Baal interfecerunt ante aras.
And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore down it and its altars, and they ground his images to powder, and they killed Matthan the priest of Baal before his altars.
18 Constituit autem Ioiada praepositos in domo Domini, sub manibus Sacerdotum, et Levitarum, quos distribuit David in domo Domini: ut offerrent holocausta Domino, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi, in gaudio et canticis, iuxta dispositionem David.
And Jodae the priest committed the works of the house of the Lord into the and of the priests and Levites, and he re-established the courses of the priests and Levites which David appointed over the house of the Lord, and [he appointed them] to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with gladness, and with songs by the hand of David.
19 Constituit quoque ianitores in portis domus Domini, ut non ingrederetur eam immundus in omni re.
And the porters stood at the gates of the house of the Lord, that no one unclean in any respect should enter in.
20 Assumpsitque centuriones, et fortissimos viros ac principes populi, et omne vulgus terrae, et fecerunt descendere regem de domo Domini, et introire per medium portae superioris in domum regis, et collocaverunt eum in solio regali.
And he took the heads of families, and the mighty men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they conducted the king into the house of the Lord; and he went through the inner gate into the king's house, and they seated the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21 Laetatusque est omnis populus terrae, et urbs quievit: porro Athalia interfecta est gladio.
And all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet: and they killed Gotholia.
