2 Књига о царевима 11
1 А Готолија, мати Охозијина, видевши да јој погибе син уста и поби сав род царски.
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.
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 away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 И би сакривен с њом у дому Господњем шест година, а Готолија цароваше у земљи.
He was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years while 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.
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 LORD’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in the LORD’s house, 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.
He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall 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.
a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
7 А два дела вас свих који одлазе у суботу нека чувају стражу у дому Господњем око цара.
The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the LORD’s house around 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.
You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes 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.
The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each 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 И свештеник даде стотиницима копља и штитове цара Давида, што беху у дому Господњем.
The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in the LORD’s house.
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.
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, around the king.
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!
Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”
13 А кад Готолија чу вику народа, који се стецаше, дође к народу у дом Господњи;
When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the LORD’s house;
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 she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the shofars by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew shofars. Then 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.
Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in the LORD’s house.”
16 И начинише јој место; и кад дође на пут којим се иде у дом царски коњским вратима, онде је убише.
So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.
17 Тада Јодај учини завет између Господа и цара и народа да ће бити народ Господњи, такође и између цара и народа.
Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; also between the king 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.
All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the LORD’s house.
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.
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 LORD’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. 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.
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.
21 Јоасу беше седам година кад се зацари.
Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
