2 Crônicas 23
1 Porém no sétimo ano Joiada se esforçou, e tomou consigo em aliança os chefes das centenas, a Azarias, filho de Joroão, e a Ishmael, filho de Jahanan, e a Azarias, filho d'Obed, e a Maaseias, filho d'Adaias, e a Elisaphat, filho de Sicri.
In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—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 Zichri—into a covenant with him.
2 Estes rodearam a Judá e ajuntaram os levitas de todas as cidades de Judá e os cabeças dos pais de Israel, e vieram para Jerusalém.
They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 E toda aquela congregação fez aliança com o rei na casa de Deus: e Joiada lhes disse: Eis que o filho do rei reinará, como o Senhor falou a respeito dos filhos de David.
All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.
4 Esta é a coisa que haveis de fazer: uma terça parte de vós, os sacerdotes e os levitas que entram de sábado, serão porteiros das portas;
This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
5 E uma terça parte estará na casa do rei; e a outra terça parte à porta do fundamento: e todo o povo estará nos pátios da casa do Senhor.
A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house.
6 Porém ninguém entre na casa do Senhor, senão os sacerdotes e os levitas que ministram; estes entrarão, porque santos são; mas todo o povo vigiará a guarda do Senhor,
But let no one come into the LORD’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD’s instructions.
7 E os levitas rodeiarão ao rei em volta, cada um com as suas armas na mão; e qualquer que entrar na casa morrerá; porém vós estareis com o rei, quando entrar e quando sair
The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
8 E fizeram os levitas e todo o Judá conforme a tudo o que ordenara o sacerdote Joiada; e tomou cada um os seus homens, os que entravam no sábado com os que saiam do sábado; porque o sacerdote Joiada não tinha despedido as turmas.
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.
9 Também o sacerdote Joiada deu aos chefes das centenas as lanças, e os escudos, e as rodelas que foram do rei David os quais estavam na casa de Deus.
Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
10 E dispoz todo o povo, e a cada um com as suas armas na sua mão, desde a banda direita da casa até à banda esquerda da casa, da banda do altar e da casa, à roda do rei
He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.
11 Então tiraram para fora ao filho do rei, e lhe puseram a coroa; deram-lhe o testemunho, e o fizeram rei: e Joiada e seus filhos o ungiram, e disseram: Viva o rei!
Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
12 Ouvindo pois Athalia a voz do povo que concorria e louvava o rei, veio ao povo, à casa do Senhor.
When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house.
13 E olhou: e eis que o rei estava perto da sua coluna, à entrada, e os chefes, e as trombetas junto ao rei; e todo o povo da terra estava alegre, e tocava as trombetas; e também os cantores tocavam instrumentos músicos, e davam a entender que se deviam cantar louvores: então Athalia rasgou os seus vestidos, e clamou: Traição, traição!
Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”
14 Porém o sacerdote Joiada tirou para fora os centuriões que estavam postos sobre o exército e disse-lhes: tirai-a para fora das fileiras, e o que a seguir, morrerá à espada: porque dissera o sacerdote: Não a matareis na casa do Senhor
Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the LORD’s house.”
15 E eles lhe lançaram as mãos, e ela foi à entrada da porta dos cavalos, da casa do rei: e ali a mataram.
So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
16 E Joiada fez aliança entre si, e o povo, e o rei, que seriam o povo do Senhor.
Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.
17 Depois todo o povo entrou na casa de Baal, e a derribaram, e quebraram os seus altares, e as suas imagens, e a Mathan, sacerdote de Baal, mataram diante dos altares.
All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 E Joiada ordenou os ofícios na casa do Senhor, debaixo da mão dos sacerdotes, os levitas a quem David repartira na casa do Senhor, para offerecerem os holocaustos do Senhor, como está escrito na lei de Moisés, com alegria e com canto, conforme a instituição de David.
Jehoiada appointed the officers of the LORD’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in the LORD’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
19 E pôs porteiros às portas da casa do Senhor, para que não entrasse nela ninguém imundo em coisa alguma.
He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the LORD’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
20 E tomou os centuriões, e os poderosos, e os que tinham domínio entre o povo e todo o povo da terra, e conduziu o rei da casa do Senhor, e entraram na casa do rei pelo meio da porta maior, e assentaram o rei no trono do reino.
He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the LORD’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21 E todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade ficou em paz, depois que mataram a Athalia à espada.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
