2 Kings 11

1 Then Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah when she saw that her sonne was dead, she arose, and destroyed all the Kings seede.

Ketika Atalya mengetahui bahwa Raja Ahazia, anaknya, sudah mati, ia memerintahkan supaya seluruh keluarga Ahazia dibunuh.

2 But Iehosheba the daughter of King Ioram, and sister to Ahaziah tooke Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah, and stale him from among the Kings sonnes that shoulde be slaine, both him and his nource, keeping them in the bed chaber, and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slaine.

Yoas anak Ahazia nyaris dibunuh juga bersama putra-putra raja yang lainnya, tetapi ia lolos karena diselamatkan oleh Yoseba bibinya. Yoas dan pengasuhnya dibawa dan disembunyikan di sebuah kamar tidur di Rumah TUHAN.

3 And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord sixe yeere: and Athaliah did reigne ouer the land.

Enam tahun lamanya Yoseba memelihara anak itu di dalam Rumah TUHAN sewaktu Atalya memerintah sebagai ratu.

4 And the seuenth yeere Iehoiada sent and tooke the captaines ouer hundreths, with other captaines and them of the garde, and caused them to come vnto him into the house of the Lord, and made a couenant with them, and tooke an othe of them in the house of the Lord, and shewed them the Kings sonne.

Pada tahun ketujuh, para perwira pengawal pribadi ratu dan para pengawal istana dipanggil oleh Imam Yoyada untuk bertemu dengan dia di Rumah TUHAN. Di sana ia menyuruh mereka bersumpah untuk melaksanakan rencananya. Ia memperlihatkan Yoas, putra Raja Ahazia, kepada mereka,

5 And he commanded them, saying, This is it that ye must doe, The third part of you, that commeth on the Sabbath, shall warde towarde the Kings house:

dan memberi perintah ini, "Apabila kalian bertugas pada hari Sabat, sepertiga dari kalian harus berjaga di istana,

6 And another third part in the gate of Sur: and another thirde part in the gate behinde them of the garde: and ye shall keepe watche in the house of Massah.

sepertiga lagi di pintu Gerbang Sur, dan selebihnya di pintu gerbang di belakang pengawal-pengawal yang lain.

7 And two parts of you, that is, all that goe out on the Sabbath day, shall keepe the watch of the house of the Lord about the King.

Kedua regu yang lepas tugas pada hari Sabat, hendaklah berjaga di Rumah TUHAN dengan pedang terhunus untuk melindungi Raja Yoas. Kalian harus mengawal dia ke mana saja ia pergi, dan setiap orang yang mencoba mendekati kalian, harus kalian bunuh."

8 And ye shall compasse the King rounde about, euery man with his weapon in his hande, and whosoeuer commeth within the ranges, let him be slayne: be you with the King, as he goeth out and in.

9 And the captaines of the hundreths did according to all that Iehoiada the Priest commaded, and they tooke euery man his men that entred in to their charge on the Sabbath with them that went out of it on the Sabbath, and came to Iehoiada the Priest.

Para perwira itu mentaati perintah Yoyada dan membawa kepadanya anak buah mereka yang harus bertugas dan yang lepas tugas pada hari Sabat itu.

10 And the Priest gaue to the captaines of hundreths the speares and the shieldes that were King Dauids, and were in the house of the Lord.

Yoyada memberikan kepada para perwira itu tombak-tombak dan perisai-perisai Raja Daud yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN.

11 And the garde stoode, euery man with his weapon in his hande, from the right side of the house to the left side, about the altar and about the house, round about the King.

Lalu para pengawal, masing-masing dengan pedang terhunus, mengambil tempat mereka di sekeliling bagian depan Rumah TUHAN untuk melindungi raja.

12 Then he brought out the Kings sonne, and put the crowne vpon him and gaue him the Testimonie, and they made him King: also they anoynted him, and clapt their handes, and sayde, God saue the King.

Setelah itu Yoyada membawa Yoas ke luar, lalu meletakkan mahkota di kepalanya, dan menyerahkan kepadanya buku Hukum Allah. Yoas dilantik sebagai raja dan hal itu diumumkan kepada rakyat. Semua bertepuk tangan dan bersorak, "Hidup raja!"

13 And when Athaliah heard the noyse of the running of the people, shee came in to the people in the house of the Lord.

Ratu Atalya mendengar sorak sorai para pengawal dan rakyat. Cepat-cepat ia pergi ke Rumah TUHAN, di mana orang banyak berkerumun.

14 And when shee looked, beholde, the King stoode by a pillar, as the maner was, and the princes and the trumpetters by the King, and al the people of the land reioyced, and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cryed, Treason, treason.

Ia melihat raja yang baru itu berdiri di pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN di mana ia dinobatkan, dikelilingi oleh perwira-perwira dan peniup trompet. Seluruh rakyat bersorak gembira sambil trompet dibunyikan. Dengan cemas Atalya merobek pakaiannya, dan berteriak, "Khianat! Khianat!"

15 But Iehoiada the Priest commanded the captaines of the hundreths that had the rule of the hoste, and sayde vnto them, Haue her forth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him die by the sworde: for the Priest had sayd, Let her not be slaine in the house of the Lord.

Yoyada tidak mengizinkan Atalya dibunuh di sekitar Rumah TUHAN, jadi ia berkata kepada para perwira, "Bawalah dia keluar melalui barisan pengawal dan bunuh siapa saja yang berusaha menyelamatkan dia."

16 Then they laid hands on her, and she went by the way, by the which the horses goe to the house of the King, and there was she slaine.

Mereka menangkap dia, lalu membawanya ke istana. Di sana ia dibunuh di depan pintu Gerbang Kuda.

17 And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene the Lord, and the King and the people, that they should be the Lordes people: likewise betweene the King and the people.

Imam Yoyada menyuruh Raja Yoas dan rakyat membuat perjanjian dengan TUHAN bahwa mereka akan menjadi umat TUHAN. Ia juga menyuruh raja membuat perjanjian dengan rakyat.

18 Then all the people of the lande went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it with his altars, and his images brake they downe courageously, and slewe Mattan the Priest of Baal before the altars: and the Priest set a garde ouer the house of the Lord.

Setelah itu rakyat menyerbu dan meruntuhkan kuil Baal. Mezbah serta patung-patungnya dihancurkan, dan Matan, imam Baal dibunuh di depan mezbah-mezbah itu. Yoyada menugaskan pengawal untuk menjaga Rumah TUHAN,

19 Then he tooke the captaines of hudreths, and the other captaines, and the garde, and all the people of the lande: and they brought the King from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the garde to the Kings house: and he sate him downe on the throne of the Kings.

lalu ia bersama para perwira, para pengawal pribadi raja dan para pengawal istana serta seluruh rakyat mengarak Raja Yoas dari Rumah TUHAN ke istana. Yoas masuk melalui Gerbang Pengawal, lalu duduk di atas singgasana.

20 And all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was in quiet: for they had slaine Athaliah with the sworde beside the Kings house.

Seluruh rakyat gembira, kota pun tenteram dan Atalya sudah dibunuh.

21 Seuen yeere olde was Iehoash when he began to reigne.

Yoas berumur tujuh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja Yehuda.
