2 Dnevnika 23
1 A sedme godine oslobodi se Jodaj, i uze k sebi stotinike Azariju sina Jeroamova i Ismaila sina Joananova i Azariju sina Ovidova i Masiju sina Adajeva i Elisafata sina Zihrijeva, i uhvati vjeru s njima,
And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them.
2 Te prolazeæi zemlju Judinu sabraše Levite iz svijeh gradova Judinijeh i glavare porodica otaèkih u Izrailju, i doðoše u Jerusalim.
And they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 I sav zbor uèini vjeru u domu Božijem s carem; i Jodaj im reèe: evo, sin æe carev carovati, kao što je rekao Gospod za sinove Davidove.
And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David.
4 Ovo uèinite: treæina vas koji dolazite u subotu izmeðu sveštenika i Levita neka budu vratari na pragu;
And this is the thing that you shall do:
5 A druga treæina neka bude u carskom dvoru; a ostala treæina na vratima od temelja, a sav narod u trijemovima doma Gospodnjega.
A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters, shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king’s house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Niko da ne ulazi u dom Gospodnji osim sveštenika i onijeh Levita koji služe; oni neka ulaze, jer su posveæeni, a sav narod neka èini što je Gospod zapovjedio da èini.
And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord.
7 I Leviti neka opkole cara svaki s oružjem svojim u ruci; i ko bi god ušao u dom, da se pogubi; i budite uz cara kad stane ulaziti i izlaziti.
And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; (and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; ) and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out.
8 I uèiniše Leviti i sav narod Judin sve što zapovjedi sveštenik Jodaj; i uzeše svaki svoje ljude koji dolažahu u subotu i koji odlažahu u subotu; jer Jodaj sveštenik ne otpusti redova.
So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest bad commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week.
9 I dade Jodaj sveštenik stotinicima koplja i štitove i štitiæe cara Davida što bijahu u domu Božijem.
And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.
10 I postavi sav narod sve s oružjem u ruku, od desne strane doma do lijeve prema oltaru i prema domu, oko cara.
And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about the king.
11 Tada izvedoše sina careva, i metnuše mu na glavu vijenac, i daše mu svjedoèanstvo, i zacariše ga, i Jodaj i sinovi njegovi pomazaše ga i rekoše: da živi car!
And they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king.
12 A kad Gotolija èu viku naroda koji se stjecaše i hvaljaše cara, doðe k narodu u dom Gospodnji.
Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the Lord.
13 I pogleda, i gle, car stajaše kod svojega stupa na ulasku, a knezovi i trube oko cara, i sav narod zemaljski radovaše se i trube trubljahu i pjevaèi pjevahu uz oruða muzièka i oni koji poèinjahu u pjevanju. Tada razdrije Gotolija haljine svoje i povika: buna! buna!
And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason.
14 A Jodaj sveštenik zapovjedi da izidu stotinici koji bijahu nad vojskom, i reèe im: izvedite je iz vrsta napolje, i ko poðe za njom neka se pogubi maèem; jer reèe sveštenik: nemojte je ubiti u domu Gospodnjem.
And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.
15 I naèiniše joj mjesto, te otide kako se ide vratima konjskim u dom carev, i ondje je pogubiše.
And they laid hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there.
16 Tada Jodaj uèini vjeru meðu sobom i svijem narodom i carem da æe biti narod Gospodnji.
And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the Lord.
17 Potom sav narod otide u dom Valov, i raskopaše ga, i oltare njegove i likove njegove izlomiše, a Matana sveštenika Valova ubiše pred oltarima.
And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 I Jodaj uredi opet službu u domu Gospodnjem meðu sveštenicima i Levitima, koje David bješe odredio domu Gospodnjemu, da bi prinosili žrtve paljenice Gospodu, kao što piše u zakonu Mojsijevu, s veseljem i pjesmama po naredbi Davidovoj.
And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David.
19 Postavi i vratare na vratima doma Gospodnjega da ne bi ulazio neèist oda šta mu drago.
He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in.
20 I uze stotinike i znatnije ljude i koji upravljahu narodom, sav narod zemaljski, i izvede cara iz doma Gospodnjega i uðoše visokim vratima u dom carski, i posadiše cara na carski prijesto.
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king’s house, and set him on the royal throne.
21 I radovaše se sav narod zemaljski, i grad se umiri, kad Gotoliju ubiše maèem.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword.
