Ii Paralipomenon 23
1 anno autem septimo confortatus Ioiadae adsumpsit centuriones Azariam videlicet filium Hieroam et Ismahel filium Iohanan Azariam quoque filium Oded 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 Israhel veneruntque in Hierusalem
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 igitur omnis multitudo pactum in domo Domini cum rege dixitque ad eos Ioiadae 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 in porta 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 quisquam 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 igitur Levitae et universus Iuda iuxta omnia quae praeceperat Ioiadae pontifex et adsumpserunt singuli viros qui sub se erant et veniebant per ordinem sabbati cum his qui iam impleverant sabbatum et egressuri erant siquidem Ioiadae pontifex non dimiserat abire turmas quae sibi per singulas ebdomadas 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 Ioiadae 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 inposuerunt ei diadema dederuntque in manu eius tenendam legem et constituerunt eum regem unxit quoque illum Ioiadae pontifex et filii eius inprecatique sunt 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 Otholia 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 omnem quoque 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 Ioiadae 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 inposuerunt 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 Ioiadae 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 Matthan 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 Ioiadae praepositos in domo Domini et sub manibus sacerdotum ac Levitarum quos distribuit David in domo Domini ut offerrent holocausta Domino sicut scriptum est in lege Mosi 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 inmundus 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 adsumpsitque 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 conlocaverunt 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 Otholia interfecta est gladio
And all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet: and they killed Gotholia.
