2 Reis 11
1 Vendo pois Athalia, mãe de Achazias, que seu filho era morto, levantou-se, e destruiu toda a semente real.
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs.
2 Mas Josebath, filha do rei Jorão, irmã de Achazias, tomou a Joás, filho de Achazias, e o furtou d'entre os filhos do rei, aos quaes matavam, e o poz, a elle e á sua ama na recamara, e o escondeu d'Athalia, e assim não o mataram.
But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah, and he was not killed.
3 E esteve com ella escondido na casa do Senhor seis annos: e Athalia reinava sobre a terra.
And Joash remained hidden with his nurse in the house of the LORD for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
4 E no setimo anno enviou Joiada, e tomou os centuriões, com os capitães, e com os da guarda, e os metteu comsigo na casa do Senhor: e fez com elles um concerto e os ajuramentou na casa do Senhor, e lhes mostrou o filho do rei.
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards, and had them brought into the house of the LORD. There he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s son
5 E deu-lhes ordem, dizendo: Esta é a obra que vós haveis de fazer: uma terça parte de vós, que entra no sabbado, fará a guarda da casa do rei:
and commanded them, “This is what you are to do: A third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall guard the royal palace,
6 E outra terça parte estará á porta Sur; e a outra terça parte á porta detraz dos da guarda: assim fareis a guarda d'esta casa, affastando a todos.
a third shall be at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns guarding the temple—
7 E as duas partes de vós, a saber, todos os que saem no sabbado, farão a guarda da casa do Senhor junto ao rei.
the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the king.
8 E rodeareis o rei, cada um com as suas armas nas mãos, e aquelle que entrar entre as fileiras o matarão; e vós estareis com o rei quando sair e quando entrar.
You must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
9 Fizeram pois os centuriões conforme tudo quanto ordenara o sacerdote Joiada, tomando cada um os seus homens, tanto aos que entravam no sabbado como aos que sahiam no sabbado; e vieram ao sacerdote Joiada.
So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 E o sacerdote deu aos centuriões as lanças, e os escudos que haviam sido do rei David, que estavam na casa do Senhor.
Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of King David from the house of the LORD.
11 E os da guarda se pozeram, cada um com as armas na mão, desde o lado direito da casa até ao lado esquerdo da casa, da banda do altar, e da banda da casa, junto ao rei em redor.
And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
12 Então elle tirou o filho do rei, e lhe poz a corôa, e lhe deu o testemunho; e o fizeram rei, e o ungiram, e bateram as mãos, e disseram: Viva o rei!
Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and declared, “Long live the king!”
13 E Athalia, ouvindo a voz dos da guarda e do povo, entrou ao povo na casa do Senhor.
When Athaliah heard the noise from the guards and the people, she went out to the people in the house of the LORD.
14 E olhou, e eis que o rei estava junto á columna, conforme o costume, e os capitães e as trombetas junto ao rei, e todo o povo da terra estava alegre e tocava as trombetas: então Athalia rasgou os seus vestidos, e clamou: Traição! Traição!
And she looked out and saw the king standing by the pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
15 Porém o sacerdote Joiada deu ordem aos centuriões que commandavam as tropas, e disse-lhes: Tirae-a para fóra das fileiras, e a quem a seguir matae-o á espada. Porque o sacerdote disse: Não a matem na casa do Senhor.
And Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
16 E lançaram-lhe as mãos a ella, e foi pelo caminho da entrada dos cavallos á casa do rei, e ali a mataram.
So they seized Athaliah as she reached the horses’ entrance to the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.
17 E Joiada fez um concerto entre o Senhor e o rei e o povo, que seria o povo do Senhor; como tambem entre o rei e o povo.
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.
18 Então todo o povo da terra entrou na casa de Baal, e a derribaram, como tambem os seus altares, e as suas imagens totalmente quebraram, e a Mattan, sacerdote de Baal, mataram perante os altares: então o sacerdote poz officiaes sobre a casa do Senhor.
So all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
19 E tomou os centuriões, e os capitães, e os da guarda, e todo o povo da terra: e conduziram da casa do Senhor o rei, e vieram, pelo caminho da porta dos da guarda, á casa do rei, e se assentou no throno dos reis.
He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then Joash took his seat on the royal throne,
20 E todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade repousou, depois que mataram a Athalia á espada junto á casa do rei.
and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword at the royal palace.
21 Era Joás da edade de sete annos quando o fizeram rei.
Joash was seven years old when he became king.
