< 2 Reis 11 >

1 Agora, quando Ataliah, mãe de Acazias, viu que seu filho estava morto, levantou-se e destruiu toda a descendência real.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal seed.
2 Mas Jeoseba, filha do rei Jorão, irmã de Acazias, levou Joás, filho de Acazias, e o roubou do meio dos filhos do rei que foram mortos, até mesmo ele e sua enfermeira, e os colocou no quarto; e o esconderam de Atalia, para que ele não fosse morto.
But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedchamber. And they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 Ele esteve com ela escondido na casa de Iavé seis anos, enquanto Atalia reinou sobre a terra.
And he was with her hidden in the house of Jehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
4 No sétimo ano Jehoiada mandou buscar e trazer os capitães sobre centenas de caritas e da guarda, e os trouxe até ele na casa de Iavé; e fez um pacto com eles, e fez um pacto com eles na casa de Iavé, e mostrou-lhes o filho do rei.
And 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 house of Jehovah. And he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and showed them the king's son.
5 Ele lhes ordenou, dizendo: “Isto é o que vocês devem fazer: um terço de vocês, que entram no sábado, serão guardas da guarda da casa do rei;
And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, who come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
6 um terço de vocês estará no portão Sur; e um terço de vocês no portão atrás da guarda. Portanto, guardareis a guarda da casa e sereis uma barreira.
and a third part shall be at the gate Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard. So shall ye keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
7 As duas empresas de vocês, mesmo todos os que saírem no sábado, vigiarão a casa de Yahweh ao redor do rei.
And the two companies of you, even all who go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah around the king.
8 Cercareis o rei, cada homem com suas armas na mão; e aquele que entrar nas fileiras, deixai-o ser morto. Esteja com o rei quando ele sair, e quando ele entrar”.
And ye shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand. And he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. And be ye with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.
9 Os capitães de mais de centenas fizeram de acordo com tudo o que Jehoiada, o sacerdote, ordenou; e cada um deles levou seus homens, aqueles que deveriam entrar no sábado com aqueles que deveriam sair no sábado, e vieram a Jehoiada, o sacerdote.
And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And every man 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 O sacerdote entregou aos capitães mais de centenas de lanças e escudos que haviam sido do rei David, que estavam na casa de Yahweh.
And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of Jehovah.
11 O guarda ficou de pé, cada homem com suas armas na mão, do lado direito da casa para o lado esquerdo da casa, junto ao altar e à casa, ao redor do rei.
And 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, by the king round about.
12 Então ele trouxe o filho do rei, colocou a coroa sobre ele e lhe deu o pacto; fizeram-no rei e o ungiram; bateram palmas, e disseram: “Viva o rei!
Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony. And they made him king, and anointed him. And they clapped their hands, and said, Live, O king.
13 Quando Atalia ouviu o barulho da guarda e do povo, veio ao povo na casa de Iavé;
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.
14 e olhou, e eis que o rei estava junto ao pilar, como era tradição, com os capitães e as trombetas do rei; e todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e tocou trombetas. Então Athaliah rasgou suas roupas e gritou: “Traição! Traição!”.
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king. And all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, Treason! treason!
15 Jehoiada o padre comandou os capitães de centenas que estavam no exército, e disse-lhes: “Tragam-na para fora das fileiras”. Matem qualquer um que a siga com a espada”. Pois o padre disse: “Não a deixem ser assassinada na casa de Yahweh”.
And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, Have her forth between the ranks, and kill with the sword the man who follows her. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of Jehovah.
16 Então eles a apreenderam; e ela foi pelo caminho da entrada dos cavalos na casa do rei, e ela foi morta lá.
So they made way for her. And she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house, and there was she slain.
17 Jehoiada fez um pacto entre Javé e o rei e o povo, de que eles deveriam ser o povo de Javé; também entre o rei e o povo.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be Jehovah's people; between the king also and the people.
18 Todo o povo da terra foi para a casa de Baal, e a quebrou. Eles quebraram seus altares e suas imagens completamente em pedaços, e mataram Mattan, o sacerdote de Baal, antes dos altares. O padre nomeou oficiais sobre a casa de Yahweh.
And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke in pieces his altars and his images thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Jehovah.
19 Ele tomou os capitães por centenas, e os caritas, e a guarda, e todo o povo da terra; e eles derrubaram o rei da casa de Javé, e vieram pelo caminho do portão da guarda até a casa do rei. Ele se sentou no trono dos reis.
And 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 house of Jehovah, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 Então todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade ficou quieta. Eles tinham matado Ataliah com a espada na casa do rei.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And they had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king's house.
21 Jehoash tinha sete anos de idade quando ele começou a reinar.
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign.
