< Otra Ķēniņu 11 >

1 Kad nu Atalija, Ahazijas māte, redzēja, ka viņas dēls bija miris, tad viņa cēlās un izdeldēja visu ķēniņa dzimumu.
When King Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
2 Bet Jošeba, ķēniņa Jehorama meita, Ahazijas māsa, ņēma Joasu, Ahazijas dēlu, un to nozaga no tiem ķēniņa bērniem, kas kļuva nokauti, līdz ar viņa zīdītāju guļamā kambarī, un tie viņu apslēpa no Atalijas, ka tas netapa nokauts.
So Ahaziah’s sons were all about to be murdered. But Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s half-sister, took Ahaziah’s [very young] son Joash and hid him and (his nursemaid/the woman who took care of him) in a bedroom [in the temple]. So he was not killed.
3 Un viņš ar to bija apslēpts Tā Kunga namā sešus gadus, un Atalija valdīja pār zemi.
He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
4 Un septītā gadā Jojada sūtīja un sauca tos virsniekus pār simtiem un sargus un pils karavīrus, lai nāk pie viņa Tā Kunga namā, un derēja derību ar tiem, lika tiem zvērēt Tā Kunga namā un parādīja tiem to ķēniņa dēlu.
But during the next year, Jehoiada the Supreme Priest summoned the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards and the palace guards. He told them to come to the temple. There he required them to solemnly promise that they would do what he told them to do. And he showed King Ahaziah’s son Joash to them.
5 Un viņš tiem pavēlēja sacīdams: šī tā lieta, ko jums būs darīt. Trešā daļa no jums, kam svētdienā jāstāv kārtā, lai tur vakti pie ķēniņa nama,
He gave them these instructions: “There are three groups of you guards. When one group finishes their work on the Sabbath day, [divide yourselves into] three smaller groups. One group must guard the palace.
6 Un otra trešā daļa lai stāv pie Sur vārtiem un trešā daļa pie tiem vārtiem aiz pils karavīriem; tā jums būs turēt vakti un to namu nosargāt.
Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
7 Un divi pulki no jums, visi kas svētdienā tiek vaļā, lai vakti tur Tā Kunga namā pie ķēniņa.
The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
8 Un jums būs stāties ap ķēniņu, ikkatram ar savu ieroci rokā. Un kas tais rindās ielauzīsies, tam būs mirt, un esiet pie ķēniņa, kad viņš iziet un ieiet.
You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
9 Un tie virsnieki pār simtiem darīja kā priesteris Jojada tiem bija pavēlējis, un ikkatrs ņēma savus vīrus, kam svētdienā bija kārta un kas svētdienā tika vaļā, un gāja pie priestera Jojadas.
The officers [who supervised the guards] did what Jehoiada told them to do. Each one brought to Jehoiada the guards that he supervised—the guards who were just finishing their work and those who were about to start their work on the Sabbath day.
10 Un priesteris tiem virsniekiem pār simtiem deva šķēpus un priekšturamās bruņas, kas ķēniņam Dāvidam bija Tā Kunga namā.
The priest distributed to the commanders of the guards the spears and shields that had belonged to King David, that were kept/stored in the temple.
11 Un tie pils karavīri stāvēja ikkatrs ar savu ieroci rokā no nama labās puses līdz nama kreisai pusei, pie altāra un pie nama ap ķēniņu visapkārt.
Then he commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each one with his sword in his hand, all around the young king.
12 Un viņš izveda ķēniņa dēlu un uzlika viņam kroni un deva viņam liecības (grāmatu), un tie viņu cēla par ķēniņu un to svaidīja un plaukšķināja ar rokām un sacīja: lai dzīvo ķēniņš!
Then he brought Joash out. He put the crown on his head and gave him a scroll on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey]. Then he poured some olive oil on Joash’s head and proclaimed that he was now the king. The people all clapped their hands and shouted, “We desire/hope that the king will live for many years!”
13 Un kad Atalija dzirdēja to pils karavīru (un) ļaužu kliegšanu, tad tā nāca pie tiem ļaudīm Tā Kunga namā,
When Athaliah heard the noise that was being made by the guards and the other people, she ran to the temple, where the people were gathered.
14 Un tā skatījās, un redzi, ķēniņš stāvēja augstajā vietā, kā bija ieradums, un virsnieki un trumešu pūtēji pie ķēniņa, un visi zemes ļaudis priecājās un pūta trumetes. Tad Atalija saplēsa savas drēbes un sauca: dumpis, dumpis!
She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and [some of] them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes [to show her distress] and shouted, “You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!”
15 Bet priesteris Jojada pavēlēja tiem virsniekiem pār simtiem, tiem kara spēka vadoņiem, un uz tiem sacīja: izvediet to no nama ārā rindām cauri un kas viņai ies pakaļ, to nokaujiet ar zobenu; jo priesteris sacīja: Tā Kunga namā to nebūs nokaut.
Jehoiada [immediately] said, “Kill her, but do not kill her here at the temple of Yahweh! Take her away between two rows of guards. And kill anyone who tries to rescue her!”
16 Un tie pielika rokas pie tās, un tā gāja pa zirgu braucamo ceļu uz ķēniņa namu un tur tapa nokauta.
[She tried to flee, but] the guards seized her and took her to the palace, to the place where horses enter the courtyard. They killed her there.
17 Un Jojada derēja derību starp To Kungu un ķēniņu un ļaudīm, ka tie būtu Tā Kunga ļaudis, ir starp ķēniņu un ļaudīm.
Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between the king and the people, that they would always (obey/be faithful to) Yahweh. He also made an agreement requiring the people to be loyal to Joash their king.
18 Tad visi zemes ļaudis gāja Baāla namā un to nolauzīja ar viņa altāriem un sadauzīja viņa tēlus pavisam un nokāva Matanu, Baāla svētītāju, altāru priekšā, un priesteris iecēla atkal priekšniekus pie Tā Kunga nama.
Then all the people of Israel who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and the statues of Baal. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars. Jehoiada stationed/put guards at the temple of Yahweh.
19 Un viņš ņēma tos virsniekus pār simtiem un tos sargus un pils karavīrus un visus zemes ļaudis, un tie veda ķēniņu no Tā Kunga nama un gāja to ceļu pa pils karavīru vārtiem uz ķēniņa namu, un viņš apsēdās ķēniņu goda krēslā.
Then he and the officers of the temple, the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards, and the king’s bodyguards brought the king from the temple to the palace. All the people [followed them]. Joash entered the palace at the Guard Gate and sat down on the throne, [which showed that he was the new king].
20 Un visi zemes ļaudis priecājās, un pilsēta norima, kad tie Ataliju ar zobenu bija nokāvuši pie ķēniņa nama.
All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
21 Un Joas bija septiņus gadus vecs, kad tas palika par ķēniņu.
Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
