1 И Гофолиа мати Охозиина виде, яко умре сын ея, и воста и погуби все семя царево.
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs.
2 Иосавееф же дщи царя Иорама, сестра Охозиина, поя Иоаса сына брата своего, и украде его от среды сынов царевых избиеных, того и доилицу его в клети постельней, и утаи его от лица Гофолиина, и не умертвиша его:
But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah, and he was not killed.
3 и бе с нею крыемь в дому Господни шесть лет: и Гофолиа бе царствующи в земли той.
And Joash remained hidden with his nurse in the house of the LORD for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
4 И в седмое лето посла Иодай жрец, и поят стоначалники хорримски и расимски, и возведе я к себе в дом Господень, и завеща им завет Господень, и закля их пред Господем: и показа им Иодай сына царска,
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards, and had them brought into the house of the LORD. There he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s son
5 и заповеда им, глаголя: сие слово, еже сотворите: третия часть от вас да снидет в субботу, и да стрежете стражбу дому царева во вратех,
and commanded them, “This is what you are to do: A third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall guard the royal palace,
6 и третия часть у дверий Пути, и третия часть у врат созади протекаюшнх, и да устрежете стражбу дому:
a third shall be at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns guarding the temple—
7 и две части в вас, всяк исходяй в субботу, и да хранят стражбу дому Господня при цари:
the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the king.
8 и обступите царя около, кийждо оружие свое имый в руце своей, и входяй в садироф и да умрет: и будите с царем, егда входити ему и исходити.
You must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
9 И сотвориша стоначалницы вся, елика заповеда Иодай смысленый: и поя кийждо мужы своя, и входящыя в субботу со исходяшими в субботу, и внидоша ко Иодаю жерцу.
So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 И даде жрец сотником копия и щиты царя Давида, яже быша в дому Господни:
Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of King David from the house of the LORD.
11 и быша в руках воевод и предтекущих, и сотвориша сотницы и предходящии по всему, елико заповеда им жрец. И собра жрец Господень вся люди земли в дом Господень: и сташа предтекущии, кийждо их оружие имый в руце своей, от страны дому десныя, даже да страны дому шуия жертвенныя, и дому царева около:
And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
12 и изведе сына царева, и возложи на него венец (царский) и свидение, и воцари его, и помаза его. И восплескаша руками и реша: да живет царь.
Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and declared, “Long live the king!”
13 И услыша Гофолиа глас предтекущих людий, и вниде к народу в дом Господень,
When Athaliah heard the noise from the guards and the people, she went out to the people in the house of the LORD.
14 и виде, и се, царь стояше на столпе по обычаю: и бяху пред царем певцы и трубы, и вси людие земли радующеся и трубяще в трубы. И раздра Гофолиа ризы своя и возопи: измена, измена.
And she looked out and saw the king standing by the pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
15 И заповеда Иодай жрец стоначалником и властелем силы, и рече к ним: изведите ю вон из полков, и входяй вслед ея смертию да умрет от оружия: понеже рече жрец, да не умрет в дому Господни.
And Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
16 И возложиша на ню руце, и изведоша ю скопцы путем исхода коней дому царева, и умре ту.
So they seized Athaliah as she reached the horses’ entrance to the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.
17 И завеща Иодай завет между Господем и между царем и между людьми, яко быти им в люди Господни: и между царем и между людьми.
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.
18 И внидоша вси людие земли в дом Ваалов и разбиша его, и жертвенники его и образы его сокрушиша добре, и Мафана жерца Ваалова убиша пред лицем жертвенников. И постави жрец властели в дому Господни,
So all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
19 и взя стоначалники, и хоррима и расима, и вся люди земли, и изведе царя от дому Господня: и внидоша путем врат предтекущих дому царева, и посадиша его на престоле цареве.
He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then Joash took his seat on the royal throne,
20 И возрадовашася вси людие земли, и град умолче: и Гофолию умертвиша мечем в дому цареве.
and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword at the royal palace.
21 Сын седми лет Иоас егда нача царствовати.
Joash was seven years old when he became king.
