2 Crônicas 23
1 No sétimo ano, Jehoiada se fortaleceu e levou os capitães de centenas-Azarias, filho de Jeroham, Ismael, filho de Jehohanan, Azarias, filho de Obede, Maaséias, filho de Adaías, e Elishaphat, filho de Zichri, para um pacto com ele.
And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
2 Eles andaram por Judá e reuniram os levitas de todas as cidades de Judá, e os chefes de família dos pais de Israel, e vieram a Jerusalém.
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Toda a assembléia fez um convênio com o rei na casa de Deus. Jeoiada lhes disse: “Eis que o filho do rei deve reinar, como Javé falou a respeito dos filhos de Davi”.
And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah has spoken concerning the sons of David.
4 Isto é o que vocês devem fazer: uma terceira parte de vocês, que entram no sábado, dos sacerdotes e dos levitas, serão porteiros dos umbrais.
This is the thing that ye shall do: A third part of you who come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds,
5 Uma terceira parte estará na casa do rei; e uma terceira parte no portão da fundação. Todo o povo estará nas cortes da casa de Yahweh.
and a third part shall be at the king's house, and a third part at the gate of the foundation. And all the people shall be in the courts of the house of Jehovah.
6 Mas que ninguém entre na casa de Iavé, exceto os sacerdotes e os que ministram os levitas. Eles entrarão, pois são santos, mas todo o povo seguirá as instruções de Yahweh.
But let none come into the house of Jehovah except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in for they are holy, but all the people shall keep the charge of Jehovah.
7 Os levitas rodearão o rei, cada homem com suas armas na mão. Quem quer que entre na casa, deixe-o ser morto. Esteja com o rei quando ele entrar e quando ele sair”.
And the Levites shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand. And whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. And be ye with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out.
8 Então os Levitas e todo Judá fizeram de acordo com tudo o que Jehoiada, o sacerdote, ordenou. Cada um levou seus homens, aqueles que deveriam entrar no sábado, com aqueles que deveriam sair no sábado, pois Jehoiada o padre não dispensou o turno.
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And they took every man 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 did not dismiss the divisions.
9 Jehoiada o sacerdote entregou aos capitães de centenas de lanças, baldes e escudos que tinham sido do rei Davi, que estavam na casa de Deus.
And Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
10 Ele colocou todo o povo, cada homem com sua arma na mão, do lado direito da casa para o lado esquerdo da casa, perto do altar e da casa, ao redor do rei.
And 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, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.
11 Depois trouxeram o filho do rei, colocaram a coroa sobre ele, deram-lhe o pacto e o fizeram rei. Jehoiada e seus filhos o ungiram, e disseram: “Viva o rei”!
Then they brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. And they said, Live, O king.
12 Quando Athaliah ouviu o barulho do povo correndo e elogiando o rei, ela veio até o povo na casa de Yahweh.
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.
13 Então ela olhou, e eis que o rei estava ao lado de seu pilar na entrada, com os capitães e os trombeteiros do rei. Todo o povo da terra se regozijou e tocou trombetas. Os cantores também tocaram instrumentos musicais, e lideraram o canto de louvor. Então Athaliah rasgou suas roupas, e disse: “Traição! traição”.
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king. And all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. The singers also played on instruments of music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, Treason! treason!
14 Jehoiada o padre trouxe os capitães de centenas que estavam sobre o exército, e disse-lhes: “Tragam-na para fora entre as fileiras; e quem a seguir, que seja morto com a espada”. Pois o padre disse: “Não a matem na casa de Yahweh”.
And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, Have her forth between the ranks. And whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword, for the priest said, Do not slay her in the house of Jehovah.
15 Então eles abriram caminho para ela. Ela foi para a entrada do portão dos cavalos da casa do rei; e eles a mataram lá.
So they made way for her. And she went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king's house, and they killed her there.
16 Jehoiada fez um pacto entre ele mesmo, todo o povo e o rei, de que deveriam ser o povo de Yahweh.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovah's people.
17 Todo o povo foi à casa de Baal, quebrou-a, quebrou seus altares e suas imagens em pedaços, e matou Mattan, o sacerdote de Baal, antes dos altares.
And all the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Jehoiada nomeou os oficiais da casa de Iavé sob a mão dos sacerdotes levíticos, que David distribuiu na casa de Iavé, para oferecer os holocaustos de Iavé, como está escrito na lei de Moisés, com alegria e com cânticos, como David havia ordenado.
And Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.
19 Ele colocou os porteiros às portas da casa de Iavé, para que ninguém que estivesse impuro em nada entrasse.
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of Jehovah that no man who was unclean in anything should enter in.
20 Ele tomou os capitães de centenas, os nobres, os governadores do povo e todo o povo da terra, e trouxe o rei da casa de Iavé. Eles vieram pelo portão superior da casa do rei, e colocaram o rei no trono do reino.
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the mighty men, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Jehovah. And they came through the upper gate to the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
21 Assim, todo o povo da terra se alegrou e a cidade ficou quieta. Eles tinham matado Athaliah com a espada.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
