2 Kings 11

1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.

Ketika Atalya, ibu Ahazia, melihat bahwa anaknya sudah mati, maka bangkitlah ia membinasakan semua keturunan raja.

2 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.

Tetapi Yoseba, anak perempuan raja Yoram, saudara perempuan Ahazia, mengambil Yoas bin Ahazia, menculik dia dari tengah-tengah anak-anak raja yang hendak dibunuh itu, memasukkan dia dengan inang penyusunya ke dalam gudang tempat tidur, dan menyembunyikan dia terhadap Atalya, sehingga dia tidak dibunuh.

3 He was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.

Maka tinggallah dia enam tahun lamanya bersama-sama perempuan itu dengan bersembunyi di rumah TUHAN, sementara Atalya memerintah negeri.

4 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.

Dalam tahun yang ketujuh Yoyada mengundang para kepala pasukan seratus dari orang Kari dan dari pasukan bentara penunggu. Disuruhnyalah mereka datang kepadanya di rumah TUHAN, lalu diikatnya perjanjian dengan mereka dengan menyuruh mereka bersumpah di rumah TUHAN. Kemudian diperlihatkannyalah anak raja itu kepada mereka.

5 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;

Sesudah itu ia memerintahkan kepada mereka: "Inilah yang harus kamu lakukan: sepertiga dari kamu, yakni yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat di sini, tetapi mengawal di istana raja--

6 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.

sepertiga lagi ada di pintu gerbang Sur dan sepertiga pula di pintu gerbang di belakang para bentara penunggu--haruslah mengawal di istana;

7 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.

dan kedua regu dari pada kamu, yakni semua orang yang bertugas di sini pada hari Sabat dan mengawal di rumah TUHAN,

8 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.”

haruslah mengelilingi raja dari segala penjuru, masing-masing dengan senjatanya di tangannya, dan siapa yang mendatangi barisan haruslah mati dibunuh. Dan baiklah kamu menyertai raja setiap kali ia keluar atau masuk."

9 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.

Para kepala pasukan seratus itu melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan imam Yoyada. Masing-masing mengambil orang-orangnya yang selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang masuk bertugas pada hari itu, lalu datanglah mereka kepada imam Yoyada.

10 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.

Imam memberikan kepada para kepala pasukan seratus itu tombak-tombak dan perisai-perisai kepunyaan raja Daud yang ada di rumah TUHAN.

11 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.

Kemudian para bentara itu, masing-masing dengan senjatanya di tangannya, mengambil tempatnya di lambung kanan sampai ke lambung kiri rumah itu, dengan mengelilingi mezbah dan rumah itu untuk melindungi raja.

12 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!”

Sesudah itu Yoyada membawa anak raja itu ke luar, mengenakan jejamang kepadanya dan memberikan hukum Allah kepadanya. Mereka menobatkan dia menjadi raja serta mengurapinya, dan sambil bertepuk tangan berserulah mereka: "Hiduplah raja!"

13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the LORD’s house;

Ketika Atalya mendengar suara bentara-bentara penunggu dan rakyat, pergilah ia mendapatkan rakyat itu ke dalam rumah TUHAN.

14 and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”

Lalu dilihatnyalah raja berdiri dekat tiang menurut kebiasaan, sedang para pemimpin dengan para pemegang nafiri ada dekat raja. Dan seluruh rakyat negeri bersukaria sambil meniup nafiri. Maka Atalya mengoyakkan pakaiannya sambil berseru: "Khianat, khianat!"

15 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, “Do not let her be slain in the LORD’s house.”

Tetapi imam Yoyada memerintahkan para kepala pasukan seratus, yakni orang-orang yang mengepalai tentara, katanya kepada mereka: "Bawalah dia keluar dari barisan! Siapa yang memihak kepadanya bunuhlah dengan pedang!" Sebab tadinya imam itu telah berkata: "Janganlah ia dibunuh di rumah TUHAN!"

16 So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.

Lalu mereka menangkap perempuan itu. Pada waktu ia masuk ke istana raja dengan melalui pintu bagi kuda, dibunuhlah dia di situ.

17 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.

Kemudian Yoyada mengikat perjanjian antara TUHAN dengan raja dan rakyat, bahwa mereka menjadi umat TUHAN; juga antara raja dengan rakyat.

18 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.

Sesudah itu masuklah seluruh rakyat negeri ke rumah Baal, lalu merobohkannya; mereka memecahkan sama sekali mezbah-mezbahnya dan patung-patung dan membunuh Matan, imam Baal, di depan mezbah-mezbah itu. Kemudian imam Yoyada mengangkat penjaga-penjaga untuk rumah TUHAN.

19 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.

Sesudah itu ia mengajak para kepala pasukan seratus orang-orang Kari dan para bentara penunggu dan seluruh rakyat negeri, lalu mereka membawa raja turun dari rumah TUHAN; mereka masuk ke istana raja melalui pintu gerbang para bentara; kemudian duduklah raja di atas takhta kerajaan.

20 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.

Bersukarialah seluruh rakyat negeri dan amanlah kota itu, setelah Atalya mati dibunuh dengan pedang di istana raja.

21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.

Yoas berumur tujuh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja.
