2 Kralji 11

1 Ko je Ahazjájeva mati Ataljá videla, da je njen sin mrtev, je vstala in uničila vse kraljevo seme.

And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.

2 Toda Jošéba, hči kralja Joráma, Ahazjájeva [pol] sestra, je vzela Ahazjájevega sina Joáša in ga ukradla izmed kraljevih sinov, ki so bili umorjeni in ju pred Ataljo skrila v spalnici, njega in njegovo dojiljo, tako da ni bil umorjen.

And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.

3 Šest let je bil skrit v Gospodovi hiši. In Ataljá je kraljevala nad deželo.

And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.

4 Sedmo leto pa je Jojadá poslal in zbral vladarje nad stotimi, s poveljniki straže in jih privedel k sebi v Gospodovo hišo in z njimi sklenil zavezo in od njih v Gospodovi hiši vzel prisego in jim pokazal kraljevega sina.

And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae shewed them the king's son.

5 Zapovedal jim je, rekoč: »To je stvar, ki jo boste storili. Tretjina izmed vas, ki vstopate na šabat, boste torej čuvaji straže kraljeve hiše.

And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which ye shall do.

6 Tretjina bo pri Surskih velikih vratih in tretjina pri velikih vratih zadaj za stražo. Tako boste stražili hišo, da ta ne bo vlomljena.

Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep ye the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep ye the guard of the house.

7 Dva dela izmed vas vseh, ki greste na šabat naprej, celo ti bodo stražili Gospodovo hišo okoli kralja.

And there [shall be] two parties among you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.

8 Obdali boste kralja, vsak človek s svojim orožjem v svoji roki in kdor pride v doseg, naj bo umorjen in bodite s kraljem, ko ta odhaja in ko prihaja.«

And do ye compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.

9 Poveljniki nad stotimi so storili glede na vse stvari, ki jih je duhovnik Jojadá zapovedal in vzeli so vsak mož svoje može, ki naj bi vstopili na šabat, s tistimi, ki naj bi šli ven na šabat in prišli k duhovniku Jojadáju.

And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.

10 Poveljnikom nad stotimi je duhovnik izročil puščice in ščite kralja Davida, ki so bili v Gospodovem templju.

And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.

11 Straža je stala, vsak mož s svojim orožjem v svoji roki, okoli kralja, od desnega vogala templja, do levega vogala templja, vzdolž poleg oltarja in templja.

And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.

12 Naprej je pripeljal kraljevega sina, nanj nadel krono, mu dal pričevanje in postavili so ga [za] kralja in ga mazilili. Ploskali so s svojimi rokami in govorili: »Živel kralj.«

And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.

13 Ko je Ataljá slišala hrup straže in ljudstva, je prišla k ljudstvu v Gospodov tempelj.

And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.

14 Ko je pogledala, glej, je kralj stal ob stebru, kakor je bila navada in princi s trobentami poleg kralja in vse ljudstvo dežele se je veselilo in trobilo s trobentami, Ataljá pa je pretrgala svoja oblačila in zakričala: »Izdaja, izdaja.«

And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia rent her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.

15 Toda duhovnik Jojadá je zapovedal poveljnikom nad stotimi, častnikom vojske in jim rekel: »Med vrstami jo odpeljite ven iz hiše in tistega, ki ji sledi, ubijte z mečem. Kajti duhovnik je rekel: ›Naj ne bo umorjena v Gospodovi hiši.‹«

And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.

16 Nanjo so položili roke in odšla je po poti, po kateri konji pridejo v kraljevo hišo in tam je bila umorjena.

And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.

17 Jojadá je sklenil zavezo med Gospodom, kraljem in ljudstvom, da bodo Gospodovo ljudstvo, med kraljem in tudi med ljudstvom.

And Jodae 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 Vse ljudstvo dežele je vstopilo v Báalovo hišo in jo porušilo. Njegove oltarje in njegove podobe so temeljito zlomili na koščke in pred oltarjem usmrtili Báalovega duhovnika Matána. In duhovnik je določil častnike nad Gospodovo hišo.

And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.

19 Vzel je vladarje nad stotimi, poveljnike, stražo in vse ljudstvo dežele in kralja so privedli dol od Gospodove hiše in po poti stražarskih velikih vrat prišli h kraljevi hiši. In usedel se je na prestol kraljev.

And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.

20 Vse ljudstvo dežele se je veselilo in mesto je bilo pomirjeno, Ataljo pa so usmrtili z mečem poleg kraljeve hiše.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they slew Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.

21 Joáš je bil star sedem let, ko je začel kraljevati.

Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
