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 royal offspring.
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 amongst the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; 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.
He was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years while 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.
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 LORD’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in the LORD’s house, 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:
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of 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.
a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you 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.
The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the LORD’s house around 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 shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes 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.
The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who 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.
The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the LORD’s house.
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.
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, around the king.
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 the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; 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.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the LORD’s house;
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 by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the shofars by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew shofars. Then Athaliah tore 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.
Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in the LORD’s house.”
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 her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.
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.
Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; also 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.
All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the LORD’s house.
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 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 LORD’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. 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. They had slain 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.
