Ii Regum 11
1 Athalia vero mater Ochoziae, videns mortuum filium suum, surrexit, et interfecit omne semen regium.
And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
2 Tollens autem Iosaba filia regis Ioram, soror Ochoziae, Ioas filium Ochoziae, furata est eum de medio filiorum regis, qui interficiebantur, et nutricem eius de triclinio: et abscondit eum a facie Athaliae ut non interficeretur.
And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.
3 Eratque cum ea sex annis clam in domo Domini: porro Athalia regnavit super terram.
And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.
4 Anno autem septimo misit Ioiada, et assumens centuriones, et milites introduxit ad se in templum Domini, pepigitque cum eis foedus: et adiurans eos in domo Domini, ostendit eis filium regis:
And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae showed them the king's son.
5 et praecepit illis, dicens: Iste est sermo, quem facere debetis:
And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you shall do.
6 Tertia pars vestrum introeat sabbato, et observet excubias domus regis. Tertia autem pars sit ad portam Seir, et tertia pars sit ad portam, quae est post habitaculum scutariorum: et custodietis excubias domus Messa.
Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep you the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep you the guard of the house.
7 Duae vero partes e vobis, omnes egredientes sabbato, custodiant excubias domus Domini circa regem.
And there [shall be] two parties among you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.
8 Et vallabitis eum, habentes arma in manibus vestris: si quis autem ingressus fuerit septum templi, interficiatur: eritisque cum rege introeunte et egrediente.
And do you compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.
9 Et fecerunt centuriones iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat eis Ioiada sacerdos: et assumentes singuli viros suos, qui ingrediebantur sabbato, cum his qui egrediebantur sabbato, venerunt ad Ioiadam sacerdotem.
And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.
10 Qui dedit eis hastas, et arma regis David, quae erant in domo Domini.
And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.
11 Et steterunt singuli habentes arma in manu sua a parte templi dextera, usque ad partem sinistram altaris, et aedis, circum regem.
And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.
12 Produxitque filium regis, et posuit super eum diadema, et testimonium: feceruntque eum regem, et unxerunt: et plaudentes manu, dixerunt: Vivat rex.
And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.
13 Audivit autem Athalia vocem populi currentis: et ingressa ad turbas in templum Domini,
And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
14 vidit regem stantem super tribunal iuxta morem, et cantores, et tubas prope eum, omnemque populum terrae laetantem, et canentem tubis: et scidit vestimenta sua, clamavitque: Coniuratio, coniuratio.
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia tore her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
15 Praecepit autem Ioiada centurionibus, qui erant super exercitum, et ait eis: Educite eam extra septa templi, et quicumque eam secutus fuerit, feriatur gladio. Dixerat enim sacerdos: Non occidatur in templo Domini.
And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.
16 Imposueruntque ei manus, et impegerunt eam per viam introitus equorum, iuxta palatium, et interfecta est ibi.
And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.
17 Pepigit ergo Ioiada foedus inter Dominum et populum, et inter regem, et inter populum, ut esset populus Domini, et inter regem et populum.
And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.
18 Ingressusque est omnis populus terrae templum Baal, et destruxerunt aras eius, et imagines contriverunt valide: Mathan quoque sacerdotem Baal occiderunt coram altari. Et posuit sacerdos custodias in domo Domini.
And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they killed Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
19 Tulitque centuriones, et Cerethi et Phelethi legiones, et omnem populum terrae, deduxeruntque regem de domo Domini: et venerunt per viam portae scutariorum in palatium, et sedit super thronum regum.
And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.
20 Laetatusque est omnis populus terrae, et civitas conquievit: Athalia autem occisa est gladio in domo regis.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they killed Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.
21 Septemque annorum erat Ioas, cum regnare coepisset.
Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
