2 Reis 11

1 Vendo pois Athalia, mãe de Achazias, que seu filho era morto, levantou-se, e destruiu toda a semente real.

Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

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, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bed-chamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

3 E esteve com ella escondido na casa do Senhor seis annos: e Athalia reinava sobre a terra.

And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years; and Athaliah reigned over 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.

And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds, of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and 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 he commanded them, saying: 'This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, and that keep the watch of the king's house —

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.

now another third part was at the gate Sur, and another third part at the gate behind the guard — shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.

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.

And the other two parts of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about 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.

And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain; and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when he cometh in.'

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.

And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath, 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.

And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spear and shields that had been king David's, which were in 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 guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.

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 he brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown and the insignia; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said: 'Long live the king.'

13 E Athalia, ouvindo a voz dos da guarda e do povo, entrou ao povo na casa do Senhor.

And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into 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, and, behold, the king stood on the platform, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried: '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 commanded the captains of hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them: 'Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword'; for the priest said: 'Let her not be slain 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 made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house; and there was she slain.

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.

And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also 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.

And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over 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.

And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

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.

So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they slew Athaliah with the sword at the king's house.

21 Era Joás da edade de sete annos quando o fizeram rei.

Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
