2 Kings 11
1 When King Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
Vendo pois Athalia, mãe de Achazias, que seu filho era morto, levantou-se, e destruiu toda a semente real.
2 So Ahaziah’s sons were all about to be murdered. But Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s half-sister, took Ahaziah’s [very young] son Joash and hid him and (his nursemaid/the woman who took care of him) in a bedroom [in the temple]. So he was not killed.
Mas Josebath, filha do rei Jorão, irmã de Achazias, tomou a Joás, filho de Achazias, e o furtou dentre os filhos do rei, aos quais matavam, e o pos, a ele e à sua ama na recâmara, e o escondeu d'Athalia, e assim não o mataram.
3 He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
E esteve com ela escondido na casa do Senhor seis anos: e Athalia reinava sobre a terra.
4 But during the next year, Jehoiada the Supreme Priest summoned the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards and the palace guards. He told them to come to the temple. There he required them to solemnly promise that they would do what he told them to do. And he showed King Ahaziah’s son Joash to them.
E no sétimo ano enviou Joiada, e tomou os centuriões, com os capitães, e com os da guarda, e os meteu consigo na casa do Senhor: e fez com eles um concerto e os ajuramentou na casa do Senhor, e lhes mostrou o filho do rei.
5 He gave them these instructions: “There are three groups of you guards. When one group finishes their work on the Sabbath day, [divide yourselves into] three smaller groups. One group must guard the palace.
E deu-lhes ordem, dizendo: Esta é a obra que vós haveis de fazer: uma terça parte de vós, que entra no sábado, fará a guarda da casa do rei:
6 Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
E outra terça parte estará à porta Sur; e a outra terça parte à porta detraz dos da guarda: assim fareis a guarda desta casa, afastando a todos.
7 The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
E as duas partes de vós, a saber, todos os que saem no sábado, farão a guarda da casa do Senhor junto ao rei.
8 You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
E rodeareis o rei, cada um com as suas armas nas mãos, e aquele que entrar entre as fileiras o matarão; e vós estareis com o rei quando sair e quando entrar.
9 The officers [who supervised the guards] did what Jehoiada told them to do. Each one brought to Jehoiada the guards that he supervised—the guards who were just finishing their work and those who were about to start their work on the Sabbath day.
Fizeram pois os centuriões conforme tudo quanto ordenara o sacerdote Joiada, tomando cada um os seus homens, tanto aos que entravam no sábado como aos que saiam no sábado; e vieram ao sacerdote Joiada.
10 The priest distributed to the commanders of the guards the spears and shields that had belonged to King David, that were kept/stored in the temple.
E o sacerdote deu aos centuriões as lanças, e os escudos que haviam sido do rei David, que estavam na casa do Senhor.
11 Then he commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each one with his sword in his hand, all around the young king.
E os da guarda se puseram, cada um com as armas na mão, desde o lado direito da casa até ao lado esquerdo da casa, da banda do altar, e da banda da casa, junto ao rei em redor.
12 Then he brought Joash out. He put the crown on his head and gave him a scroll on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey]. Then he poured some olive oil on Joash’s head and proclaimed that he was now the king. The people all clapped their hands and shouted, “We desire/hope that the king will live for many years!”
Então ele tirou o filho do rei, e lhe pôs a coroa, e lhe deu o testemunho; e o fizeram rei, e o ungiram, e bateram as mãos, e disseram: Viva o rei!
13 When Athaliah heard the noise that was being made by the guards and the other people, she ran to the temple, where the people were gathered.
E Athalia, ouvindo a voz dos da guarda e do povo, entrou ao povo na casa do Senhor.
14 She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and [some of] them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes [to show her distress] and shouted, “You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!”
E olhou, e eis que o rei estava junto à coluna, conforme o costume, e os capitães e as trombetas junto ao rei, e todo o povo da terra estava alegre e tocava as trombetas: então Athalia rasgou os seus vestidos, e clamou: Traição! Traição!
15 Jehoiada [immediately] said, “Kill her, but do not kill her here at the temple of Yahweh! Take her away between two rows of guards. And kill anyone who tries to rescue her!”
Porém o sacerdote Joiada deu ordem aos centuriões que comandavam as tropas, e disse-lhes: tirai-a para fora das fileiras, e a quem a seguir matai-o à espada. Porque o sacerdote disse: Não a matem na casa do Senhor.
16 [She tried to flee, but] the guards seized her and took her to the palace, to the place where horses enter the courtyard. They killed her there.
E lançaram-lhe as mãos a ela, e foi pelo caminho da entrada dos cavalos à casa do rei, e ali a mataram.
17 Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between the king and the people, that they would always (obey/be faithful to) Yahweh. He also made an agreement requiring the people to be loyal to Joash their king.
E Joiada fez um concerto entre o Senhor e o rei e o povo, que seria o povo do Senhor; como também entre o rei e o povo.
18 Then all the people of Israel who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and the statues of Baal. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars. Jehoiada stationed/put guards at the temple of Yahweh.
Então todo o povo da terra entrou na casa de Baal, e a derribaram, como também os seus altares, e as suas imagens totalmente quebraram, e a Mattan, sacerdote de Baal, mataram perante os altares: então o sacerdote pôs oficiais sobre a casa do Senhor.
19 Then he and the officers of the temple, the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards, and the king’s bodyguards brought the king from the temple to the palace. All the people [followed them]. Joash entered the palace at the Guard Gate and sat down on the throne, [which showed that he was the new king].
E tomou os centuriões, e os capitães, e os da guarda, e todo o povo da terra: e conduziram da casa do Senhor o rei, e vieram, pelo caminho da porta dos da guarda, à casa do rei, e se assentou no trono dos reis.
20 All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
E todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade repousou, depois que mataram a Athalia à espada junto à casa do rei.
21 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
Era Joás da idade de sete anos quando o fizeram rei.
