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 the 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 together the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief 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 congregation 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 said of 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 which ye shall do: a third part of you that come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be keepers of the doors;

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 of the Levites that do the service; they shall go in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the watch 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 he that comes into the house shall be put to death; and ye shall be 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.

And the Levites and all Judah 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 them that were to go forth on the sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest did not liberate 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 gave to the captains of the hundreds king David's spears and shields and targets, 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 javelin in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, toward 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”!

And they brought forth 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 said, Long live the king!

12 Quando Athaliah ouviu o barulho do povo correndo e elogiando o rei, ela veio até o povo na casa de Yahweh.

And Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, and 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 on his dais at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets were by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets; and the singers [were there] with the instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. And Athaliah rent her garments, and said, Conspiracy! Conspiracy!

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 the hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Lead her forth without the ranks; and whosoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword; for the priest said, Ye shall not put her to death 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.

And they made way for her, and she went through the entrance of the horse-gate into the king's house, and they put her to death 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 the people of Jehovah.

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 into the house of Baal, and broke it down; and they broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew 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 offices of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had set by classes over the house of Jehovah to offer up Jehovah's burnt-offerings, as it is written in the law of Moses, — with rejoicing and with singing according to the directions 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 doorkeepers at the gates of the house of Jehovah, that no one 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 the hundreds, and the nobles, 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 into 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.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
