< 2 Reis 11 >

1 Agora, quando Ataliah, mãe de Acazias, viu que seu filho estava morto, levantou-se e destruiu toda a descendência real.
And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
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 from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber 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 hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign 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 the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, 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 all of you shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even 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 of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall all of you keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
7 As duas empresas de vocês, mesmo todos os que saírem no sábado, vigiarão a casa de Yahweh ao redor do rei.
And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about 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 all of you shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that comes within the ranges, let him be slain: and be all of you with the king as he goes out and as 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 the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should 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 to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.
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, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
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!
And he brought forth 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, God save the 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 temple of the LORD.
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 when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent 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”.
But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that follows her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.
16 Então eles a apreenderam; e ela foi pelo caminho da entrada dos cavalos na casa do rei, e ela foi morta lá.
And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into 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 the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'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 into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
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 rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, 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.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.
21 Jehoash tinha sete anos de idade quando ele começou a reinar.
Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
