2 Reis 11

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

And Athalia the mother of Ochozias seeing that her son was dead, arose, and slew all the royal seed.

2 Mas Josebath, filha do rei Jorão, irmã de Achazias, tomou a Joás, filho de Achazias, e o furtou dentre os filhos do rei, aos quais matavam, e o pos, a ele e à sua ama na recâmara, e o escondeu d'Athalia, e assim não o mataram.

But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia, so that he was not slain.

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

And he was with her six years hid in the house of the Lord. And Athalia reigned over the land.

4 E no sétimo ano enviou Joiada, e tomou os centuriões, com os capitães, e com os da guarda, e os meteu consigo na casa do Senhor: e fez com eles um concerto e os ajuramentou na casa do Senhor, e lhes mostrou o filho do rei.

And in the seventh year Joiada seat, and taking the centurions and the soldiers, brought them in to him into the temple of the Lord, and made a covenant with them: and taking an oath of them in the house of the Lord, shewed 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 sábado, fará a guarda da casa do rei:

And he commanded them, saying: This is the thing that you must do:

6 E outra terça parte estará à porta Sur; e a outra terça parte à porta detraz dos da guarda: assim fareis a guarda desta casa, afastando a todos.

Let a third part of you go in on the sabbath, and keep the watch of the king’s house. And let a third part be at the gate of Sur: and let a third part be at the gate behind the dwelling of the shieldbearers: and you shall keep the watch of the house of Messa.

7 E as duas partes de vós, a saber, todos os que saem no sábado, farão a guarda da casa do Senhor junto ao rei.

But let two parts of you, all that go forth on the sabbath, 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 aquele que entrar entre as fileiras o matarão; e vós estareis com o rei quando sair e quando entrar.

And you shall compass him round about, having weapons in your hands: and if any man shall enter the precinct of the temple, let him be slain: and you shall be with the king coming in and going out.

9 Fizeram pois os centuriões conforme tudo quanto ordenara o sacerdote Joiada, tomando cada um os seus homens, tanto aos que entravam no sábado como aos que saiam no sábado; e vieram ao sacerdote Joiada.

And the centurions did according to all things that Joiada the priest had commanded them: and taking every one their men, that went in on the sabbath, with them that went out on the sabbath, came to Joiada 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 he gave them the spears, and the arms of king David, which were in the house of the Lord.

11 E os da guarda se puseram, 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 they stood having every one their weapons in their hands, from the right side of the temple, unto the left side of the altar, and of the temple, about the king.

12 Então ele tirou o filho do rei, e lhe pôs a coroa, e lhe deu o testemunho; e o fizeram rei, e o ungiram, e bateram as mãos, e disseram: Viva o rei!

And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the diadem upon him, and the testimony: and they made him king, and anointed him: and clapping their hands. they said, God save the king.

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

And Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple of the Lord,

14 E olhou, e eis que o rei estava junto à coluna, 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!

She saw the king standing upon a tribunal, as the manner was, and the singers, and the trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets: and she rent her garments, and cried: A conspiracy, a conspiracy.

15 Porém o sacerdote Joiada deu ordem aos centuriões que comandavam as tropas, e disse-lhes: tirai-a para fora das fileiras, e a quem a seguir matai-o à espada. Porque o sacerdote disse: Não a matem na casa do Senhor.

But Joiada commended the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord.

16 E lançaram-lhe as mãos a ela, e foi pelo caminho da entrada dos cavalos à casa do rei, e ali a mataram.

And they laid hands on her: and thrust her out by the way by which the horses go in, by the palace, 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 também entre o rei e o povo.

And Joiada made a covenant between the Lord, and the king, and the people, that they should be the people of the Lord, and between the king and the people.

18 Então todo o povo da terra entrou na casa de Baal, e a derribaram, como também os seus altares, e as suas imagens totalmente quebraram, e a Mattan, sacerdote de Baal, mataram perante os altares: então o sacerdote pôs oficiais sobre a casa do Senhor.

And all the people of the land went into the temple of Baal, and broke down his altars, and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly: they slew also Mathan the priest of Baal before the altar. And the priest set guards in 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, à casa do rei, e se assentou no trono dos reis.

And he took the centurions, and the bands of the Cerethi and the Phelethi, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the house of the Lord: and they came by the way of the gate of the shieldbearers into the palace. 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 à espada junto à casa do rei.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword in the king’s house.

21 Era Joás da idade de sete anos quando o fizeram rei.

Now Joas was seven years old, when he began to reign.
