2 Књига о царевима 11
1 А Готолија, мати Охозијина, видевши да јој погибе син уста и поби сав род царски.
And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2 Али Јосавеја, кћи цара Јорама сестра Охозијина, узе Јоаса сина Охозијиног, и украде га између синова царевих, које убијаху, и с дојкињом његовом сакри га од Готолије у ложницу, те не погибе.
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 who were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 И би сакривен с њом у дому Господњем шест година, а Готолија цароваше у земљи.
And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
4 А седме године посла Јодај и дозва стотинике и војводе и војнике, и уведе их к себи у дом Господњи, и ухвати веру с њима, и закле их у дому Господњем, и показа им сина царевог.
And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took 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 И заповеди им говорећи: Ово учините: вас трећина, који долазите у суботу, нека чувају стражу у двору царском.
And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye 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 А трећина нека буде на вратима сурским, а трећина на вратима која су иза војника; и чувајте дом од силе.
And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
7 А два дела вас свих који одлазе у суботу нека чувају стражу у дому Господњем око цара.
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 И опколите цара сваки са својим оружјем у руци, и ко би навалио међу врсте нека се погуби, и будите с царем кад стане излазити и улазити.
And ye shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
9 И стотиници учинише све како заповеди Јодај свештеник; и узеше сваки своје људе који долажаху у суботу с онима који одлажаху у суботу, и дођоше к свештенику Јодају.
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 И свештеник даде стотиницима копља и штитове цара Давида, што беху у дому Господњем.
And to the captains over hundreds the priest gave king David’s spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.
11 И војници стадоше сваки са својим оружјем у руци од десне стране дома до леве стране дома према олтару и према дому око цара.
And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, around the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
12 Тада изведе сина царевог, и метну му венац на главу, и даде му сведочанство, и поставише га царем, и помазаше га, и пљескајући рукама говораху: Да живи цар!
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 А кад Готолија чу вику народа, који се стецаше, дође к народу у дом Господњи;
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 И погледа, и гле, цар стајаше код ступа по обичају, и кнезови и трубе око цара, и сав народ из земље радоваше се, и трубе трубљаху. Тада Готолија раздре хаљине своје и повика: Буна! Буна!
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 tore her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
15 А свештеник Јодај заповеди стотиницима који беху над војском, и рече им: Изведите је из врста напоље, и ко пође за њом погубите га мачем; јер рече свештеник: Да не погине у дому Господњем.
But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said to them, Have her forth beyond the ranks: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.
16 И начинише јој место; и кад дође на пут којим се иде у дом царски коњским вратима, онде је убише.
And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain.
17 Тада Јодај учини завет између Господа и цара и народа да ће бити народ Господњи, такође и између цара и народа.
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 Потом сав народ земаљски отиде у дом Валов, и раскопаше дом и олтар, и изломише ликове његове сасвим; а Матана свештеника Валовог убише пред олтарима. А свештеник опет уреди службу у дому Господњем.
And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images they broke wholly in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
19 И узе стотинике и војводе и војнике и сав народ земаљски, и изведоше цара из дома Господњег, и уђоше у дом царски путем на врата војничка. И седе на царски престо.
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 И радоваше се сав народ земаљски, и град се умири пошто Готолију убише мачем код царског дома.
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 Јоасу беше седам година кад се зацари.
Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
