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.
E Atalia mãe de Acazias, vendo que seu filho era morto, levantou-se, e destruiu toda a semente real.
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from amongst 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.
Porém Jeoseba, filha do rei Jeorão, irmã de Acazias, tomando a Joás filho de Acazias, tirou-o dentre os filhos do rei, que se matavam, e ocultou-o de diante de Atalia, a ele e a sua ama, na câmara das camas, e assim não o mataram.
3 He was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
E esteve com ela escondido na casa do SENHOR durante seis anos; e Atalia foi rainha sobre aquela terra.
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.
Mas ao sétimo ano enviou Joiada, e tomou comandantes de cem, capitães, e gente da guarda, e meteu-os consigo na casa do SENHOR: e fez com eles liga, juramentando-os na casa do SENHOR; e mostrou-lhes ao filho do rei.
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;
E mandou-lhes, dizendo: Isto é o que haveis de fazer: a terceira parte de vós, os que entrarão o sábado, terão a guarda da casa do rei;
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.
E a outra terceira parte estará à porta do Sur, e a outra terceira parte à porta da entrada dos da guarda: assim guardareis a casa, para que não seja invadida.
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.
E as duas partes de vós, a saber, todos os que saem o sábado, tereis a guarda da casa do SENHOR junto ao rei.
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.”
E estareis ao redor do rei de todas as partes, tendo cada um suas armas nas mãos, e qualquer um que entrar por estas fileiras, seja morto. E haveis de estar com o rei quando sair, e quando entrar.
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.
Os comandantes de cem, pois, fizeram tudo como o sacerdote Joiada lhes mandou: e tomando cada um os seus, a saber, os que haviam de entrar o sábado, e os que haviam saído o sábado, vieram a Joiada o sacerdote.
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.
E o sacerdote deu aos comandantes de cem as lanças e os escudos que haviam sido do rei Davi, que estavam na casa do SENHOR.
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.
E os da guarda se puseram em ordem, tendo cada um suas armas em suas mãos, desde o lado direito da casa até o lado esquerdo, junto ao altar e o templo, em derredor do rei.
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!”
Tirando logo Joiada ao filho do rei, pôs-lhe a coroa e o testemunho, e fizeram-lhe rei ungindo-lhe; e batendo as mãos disseram: Viva o rei!
13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the LORD’s house;
E ouvindo Atalia o estrondo do povo que corria, entrou ao povo no templo do SENHOR;
14 and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the shofars by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew shofars. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
E quando olhou, eis que o rei que estava junto à coluna, conforme o costume, e os príncipes e os trombetas junto ao rei; e que todo o povo daquela terra se alegrava, e que tocavam as trombetas. Então Atalia, rasgando suas roupas, clamou em gritos: Traição! Traição!
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, “Don’t let her be slain in the LORD’s house.”
Mas o sacerdote Joiada mandou aos comandantes de cem que governavam o exército, e disse-lhes: Tirai-a fora do recinto do templo, e ao que a seguir, matai-o à espada. (Porque o sacerdote disse que não a matassem no templo do SENHOR.)
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.
Deram-lhe, pois, lugar, e quando ia o caminho por de onde entram os cavaleiros à casa do rei, ali a mataram.
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.
Então Joiada fez aliança entre o SENHOR e o rei e o povo, que seriam povo do SENHOR: e também entre o rei e o povo.
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.
E todo o povo da terra entrou no templo de Baal, e derrubaram-no: também despedaçaram inteiramente seus altares e suas imagens, e mataram a Matã sacerdote de Baal diante dos altares. E o sacerdote pôs guarnição sobre a casa do SENHOR.
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.
Depois tomou os centuriões, e capitães, e os da guarda, e a todo o povo da terra, e levaram ao rei desde a casa do SENHOR, e vieram pelo caminho da porta dos da guarda à casa do rei; e sentou-se o rei sobre o trono dos reis.
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.
E todo o povo da terra fez alegrias, e a cidade esteve em repouso, havendo sido Atalia morta à espada junto à casa do rei.
21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
Era Joás de sete anos quando começou a reinar.
