Otra Laiku 23
1 Bet septītā gadā Jojada iedrošinājās un cēla derību ar tiem virsniekiem pār simtiem, Azariju, Jeroama dēlu, un Ismaēli, Johanana dēlu, un Azariju, Obeda dēlu, un Maāseju, Adajas dēlu, un Elizavatu, Sihrus dēlu.
After Joash had been hidden in the temple for six years, Jehoiada the priest decided that it was necessary to do something. So he made an agreement with the army commanders of groups of 100 soldiers: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zicri.
2 Un tie gāja pa Jūdu apkārt un sapulcināja Levitus no visām Jūda pilsētām un Israēla tēvu namu virsniekus, un tie sanāca Jeruzālemē.
They went throughout Judah and gathered the descendants of Levi and the leaders of Israeli families from all the towns. When they came to Jerusalem,
3 Un visa draudze derēja derību Dieva namā ar ķēniņu, un viņš uz tiem sacīja: redzi, ķēniņa dēlam būs būt par ķēniņu, tā kā Tas Kungs runājis par Dāvida dēliem.
the whole group went to the temple and made an agreement with the young king there. Jehoiada said to them, “This is the son of the previous king of Judah. So he is the one who must rule, like Yahweh promised that the descendants of King David must do.
4 To nu jums būs darīt: Trešdaļa no jums, kam svētdienā krīt kārta, no priesteriem un Levitiem, lai vakti tur pie durvīm.
“So this is what you must do: One-third of you priests and other descendants of Levi who are starting their work on the Sabbath day must guard the doors [of the temple].
5 Un trešdaļa lai stāv ķēniņa namā, un trešdaļa pie Pamatu vārtiem. Un visi ļaudis lai stāv Tā Kunga nama pagalmā.
One-third of you must guard the king’s palace, and one-third of you must guard the Foundation Gate. All the other people will be in the courtyards outside the temple.
6 Bet nevienam nebūs Tā Kunga namā ieiet, kā vien priesteriem un Levitiem, kas kalpo; tie var ieiet, jo tie ir svēti, bet visi ļaudis lai tur Tā Kunga vakti.
Only the priests and the descendants of Levi who work there will enter the temple. They will be allowed to enter the temple because they are set apart [for that work]. All the others must remain in the courtyards, obeying what Yahweh has commanded.
7 Un Leviti lai stājās visapkārt ap ķēniņu, ikkatrs ar savu ieroci rokā, un kas namā ieiet, tam būs mirt, bet jums būs būt pie ķēniņa, kad tas ieiet un iziet.
You descendants of Levi must stand around the young king, each of you with your weapon in your hand. Anyone else who tries to enter the temple you must kill. And stay close to the young king, wherever he goes.”
8 Un Leviti un visa Jūda valsts darīja pēc visa, ko priesteris Jojada bija pavēlējis, un ikviens ņēma savus vīrus, kam svētdienā krita kārta un kam svētdienā kārta beidzās. Jo priesteris Jojada tiem kārtniekiem neļāva aiziet.
So the descendants of Levi and all [the men of] Judah did what Jehoiada had told them. He did not allow anyone to go home after having finished his work on that Sabbath day. Each commander took charge of his men, the ones who were finishing their work on that day and those who were starting their work on that day.
9 Un priesteris Jojada deva tiem virsniekiem pār simtniekiem šķēpus un priekšturamās bruņas un tās bruņas, kas ķēniņam Dāvidam bijušas, kas bija Dieva namā.
Then Jehoiada gave each of the commanders the spears and the large and small shields that had been put there in the temple by King David.
10 Un viņš nostādīja visus ļaudis, ikvienu ar savu ieroci rokā, no nama labās puses līdz nama kreisai pusei, līdz altārim un namam visapkārt ap ķēniņu.
He commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each with his sword in his hand, all around the king—around the altar and the temple, from the north side to the south side.
11 Un tie izveda to ķēniņa dēlu un viņam uzlika kroni un tam deva to liecības grāmatu un to cēla par ķēniņu. Un Jojada ar saviem dēliem to svaidīja un sacīja: lai dzīvo ķēniņš!
Then Jehoiada and his sons brought Joash out. They put a crown on his head and gave him [a scroll] on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey], and proclaimed that he was now the king. They anointed him with olive oil and shouted, “We hope that the king will live for many years!”
12 Kad nu Atalija to ļaužu kliegšanu dzirdēja, kas bija saskrējuši un ķēniņu slavēja, tad viņa nāca pie tiem ļaudīm Tā Kunga namā.
When Athaliah heard the noise being made by the people running [toward the king] and cheering, she ran to the temple.
13 Un tā skatījās, un redzi, ķēniņš stāvēja savā vietā pie durvīm un lielkungi un taurētāji bija pie ķēniņa, un visi zemes ļaudis priecājās un pūta trumetes, un dziedātāji ar saviem rīkiem pavadīja tās slavas dziesmas. Tad Atalija saplēsa savas drēbes un sacīja: dumpis, dumpis!
She saw the young king there, standing alongside the pillar at the entrance of the temple, [which is the place at the temple] where the kings usually stood. The army commanders and trumpet players were standing beside the king, and all the people of Judah were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and singers with their musical instruments were leading the people while they praised God. Then Athaliah tore her robes and started screaming, “You are committing treason!”
14 Bet priesteris Jojada lika iziet tiem virsniekiem pār simtiem, tiem kara vadoņiem, un uz tiem sacīja: izvediet to ārā no nama caur rindām, un kas viņai ies pakaļ, to būs ar zobenu nokaut. Jo tas priesteris bija sacījis: nenokaujiet to Tā Kunga namā.
Jehoiada the Supreme Priest said to the army commanders, “Kill her, but do not kill her at the temple of Yahweh!” Then he said to them, “Bring Athaliah out in front of the troops and kill anyone who tries to follow her!”
15 Un tie tai deva ceļu atkāpdamies uz abējām pusēm, un kad tā ieejot pa tiem zirgu vārtiem nāca ķēniņa namā, tad tie viņu tur nokāva.
[She tried to flee, but] they seized her as she reached the gate where horses enter the palace area, and they killed her there.
16 Un Jojada derēja derību starp sevi un visiem ļaudīm un ķēniņu, ka tie būtu Tā Kunga ļaudis.
Then Jehoiada made an agreement that he and the king and all the other people would be Yahweh’s people.
17 Tad visi ļaudis gāja Baāla namā un to nolauzīja un viņa altārus, un sadauzīja viņa bildes un nokāva Matanu, Baāla priesteri, altāru priekšā.
Then all the people who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars [of Baal]. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars.
18 Un Jojada iecēla atkal par uzraugiem pie Tā Kunga nama priesterus, tos Levitus, ko Dāvids bija atšķīris Tā Kunga namam, upurēt Tam Kungam dedzināmos upurus, kā Mozus bauslībā rakstīts, ar prieku un ar dziesmām pēc Dāvida likuma.
Then Jehoiada appointed the priests, who were also descended from Levi, to work at the temple. They were part of the group to whom King David had given various jobs at the temple, to sacrifice the animals that were to be completely burned on the altar, doing what was written in the laws that Moses had given to them. He also told them to rejoice and sing, which was also what David had commanded.
19 Un viņš iecēla vārtu sargus pie Tā Kunga nama vārtiem, ka neviens tur neieietu, kas kaut kādas lietas dēļ nešķīsts.
He also put guards at the gates of the temple in order that anyone who was unacceptable to God would not be allowed to enter.
20 Un viņš ņēma tos virsniekus pār simtiem un varenos un ļaužu lielkungus, arī visus zemes ļaudis, un noveda ķēniņu no Tā Kunga nama un gāja caur augšējiem vārtiem ķēniņa namā, un sēdināja ķēniņu uz valstības krēslu.
Jehoiada took with him the army commanders, the important men, the leaders and many others, and brought the king down from the temple. They went into the palace through the Upper Gate, and put the king on his throne.
21 Un visi zemes ļaudis priecājās, un pilsēta norima pēc tam, kad Ataliju bija nokāvuši ar zobenu.
Then all the people of Judah rejoiced. And there was calm throughout the city, because Athaliah had been killed.
