2 Chronicles 23

1 In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zikri, into covenant with him.

Porém no sétimo ano Joiada se esforçou, e tomou consigo em aliança os chefes das centenas, a Azarias, filho de Joroão, e a Ishmael, filho de Jahanan, e a Azarias, filho d'Obed, e a Maaseias, filho d'Adaias, e a Elisaphat, filho de Sicri.

2 They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of ancestral houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

Estes rodearam a Judá e ajuntaram os levitas de todas as cidades de Judá e os cabeças dos pais de Israel, e vieram para Jerusalém.

3 All the assembly made a covenant in the house of God with the king. And he showed them the king's son. And he said to them, "Look, the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah has spoken concerning the descendants of David.

E toda aquela congregação fez aliança com o rei na casa de Deus: e Joiada lhes disse: Eis que o filho do rei reinará, como o Senhor falou a respeito dos filhos de David.

4 This is the thing that you shall do. A third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.

Esta é a coisa que haveis de fazer: uma terça parte de vós, os sacerdotes e os levitas que entram de sábado, serão porteiros das portas;

5 A third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of Jehovah's house.

E uma terça parte estará na casa do rei; e a outra terça parte à porta do fundamento: e todo o povo estará nos pátios da casa do Senhor.

6 But let no one come into the house of Jehovah, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Jehovah's instructions.

Porém ninguém entre na casa do Senhor, senão os sacerdotes e os levitas que ministram; estes entrarão, porque santos são; mas todo o povo vigiará a guarda do Senhor,

7 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out."

E os levitas rodeiarão ao rei em volta, cada um com as suas armas na mão; e qualquer que entrar na casa morrerá; porém vós estareis com o rei, quando entrar e quando sair

8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath; with those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the shift.

E fizeram os levitas e todo o Judá conforme a tudo o que ordenara o sacerdote Joiada; e tomou cada um os seus homens, os que entravam no sábado com os que saiam do sábado; porque o sacerdote Joiada não tinha despedido as turmas.

9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in God's house.

Também o sacerdote Joiada deu aos chefes das centenas as lanças, e os escudos, e as rodelas que foram do rei David os quais estavam na casa de Deus.

10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon 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.

E dispoz todo o povo, e a cada um com as suas armas na sua mão, desde a banda direita da casa até à banda esquerda da casa, da banda do altar e da casa, à roda do rei

11 Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, "Long live the king."

Então tiraram para fora ao filho do rei, e lhe puseram a coroa; deram-lhe o testemunho, e o fizeram rei: e Joiada e seus filhos o ungiram, e disseram: Viva o rei!

12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah:

Ouvindo pois Athalia a voz do povo que concorria e louvava o rei, veio ao povo, à casa do Senhor.

13 and she looked, and, look, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, "Treason. Treason."

E olhou: e eis que o rei estava perto da sua coluna, à entrada, e os chefes, e as trombetas junto ao rei; e todo o povo da terra estava alegre, e tocava as trombetas; e também os cantores tocavam instrumentos músicos, e davam a entender que se deviam cantar louvores: então Athalia rasgou os seus vestidos, e clamou: Traição, traição!

14 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword." For the priest said, "Do not kill her in Jehovah's house."

Porém o sacerdote Joiada tirou para fora os centuriões que estavam postos sobre o exército e disse-lhes: tirai-a para fora das fileiras, e o que a seguir, morrerá à espada: porque dissera o sacerdote: Não a matareis na casa do Senhor

15 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the Horse Gate to the king's house; and they killed her there.

E eles lhe lançaram as mãos, e ela foi à entrada da porta dos cavalos, da casa do rei: e ali a mataram.

16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovah's people.

E Joiada fez aliança entre si, e o povo, e o rei, que seriam o povo do Senhor.

17 All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

Depois todo o povo entrou na casa de Baal, e a derribaram, e quebraram os seus altares, e as suas imagens, e a Mathan, sacerdote de Baal, mataram diante dos altares.

18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests and the Levites, and he appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.

E Joiada ordenou os ofícios na casa do Senhor, debaixo da mão dos sacerdotes, os levitas a quem David repartira na casa do Senhor, para offerecerem os holocaustos do Senhor, como está escrito na lei de Moisés, com alegria e com canto, conforme a instituição de David.

19 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of Jehovah, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.

E pôs porteiros às portas da casa do Senhor, para que não entrasse nela ninguém imundo em coisa alguma.

20 He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Jehovah: and they came through the Upper Gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

E tomou os centuriões, e os poderosos, e os que tinham domínio entre o povo e todo o povo da terra, e conduziu o rei da casa do Senhor, e entraram na casa do rei pelo meio da porta maior, e assentaram o rei no trono do reino.

21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.

E todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade ficou em paz, depois que mataram a Athalia à espada.
