2 Tawarikh 23
1 Pada tahun ketujuh Imam Yoyada memutuskan untuk bertindak. Ia mengadakan persepakatan dengan lima perwira, yaitu Azarya anak Yeroham, Ismail anak Yohanan, Azarya anak Obed, Maaseya anak Adaya, dan Elisafat anak Zikhri.
And 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 Zichri into covenant with him.
2 Mereka pergi ke semua kota di Yehuda, dan mengumpulkan orang-orang Lewi dan semua kepala kaum, lalu membawa mereka ke Yerusalem.
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Mereka berkumpul di Rumah TUHAN, dan membuat perjanjian dengan Yoas, putra raja itu. Yoyada berkata kepada mereka, "Inilah putra mendiang Raja Ahazia! Ia sekarang harus naik takhta, sebab TUHAN sudah berjanji bahwa keturunan Raja Daud akan tetap memerintah.
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of Elohim. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as YHWH hath said of the sons of David.
4 Inilah yang harus kita lakukan: Apabila para imam dan orang Lewi selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat, mereka tidak boleh pulang. Sepertiga dari mereka harus ikut menjaga di pintu-pintu gerbang Rumah TUHAN,
This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
5 sepertiga lagi di istana raja, dan selebihnya di Pintu Gerbang Dasar. Seluruh rakyat harus berkumpul di halaman Rumah TUHAN.
And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of YHWH.
6 Tidak seorang pun boleh memasuki gedung Rumah TUHAN kecuali para imam dan orang Lewi yang sedang bertugas. Mereka boleh masuk sebab mereka sudah dikhususkan untuk TUHAN. Orang-orang lain harus taat kepada peraturan TUHAN dan tinggal di luar.
But let none come into the house of YHWH, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of YHWH.
7 Orang-orang Lewi harus berdiri di sekeliling raja dengan pedang terhunus, dan mengawal dia ke mana pun ia pergi. Siapa berusaha memasuki Rumah TUHAN, harus dibunuh."
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
8 Perintah Yoyada itu dilaksanakan oleh orang-orang Lewi dan rakyat Yehuda. Orang-orang yang lepas tugas pada hari Sabat tidak dibolehkan pulang. Jadi para perwira dapat mengerahkan baik orang-orang yang lepas tugas maupun yang baru datang untuk bertugas.
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the Sabbath, with them that were to go out on the Sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
9 Kepada para perwira itu Yoyada membagikan tombak dan perisai milik Raja Daud yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN.
Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of Elohim.
10 Yoyada juga menempatkan orang-orang dengan pedang terhunus di seputar bagian depan Rumah TUHAN untuk melindungi raja.
And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
11 Sesudah itu Yoyada membawa Yoas keluar, lalu meletakkan mahkota di kepalanya, dan menyerahkan kepadanya buku Hukum Allah. Demikianlah Yoas diangkat menjadi raja. Kemudian Imam Yoyada dengan anak-anaknya menuangkan minyak upacara penobatan pada Yoas, lalu semua orang berseru, "Hidup raja!"
Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, Elohim save the king.
12 Atalya mendengar rakyat bersorak mengelu-elukan raja. Cepat-cepat ia pergi ke Rumah TUHAN di mana orang banyak berkerumun.
Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of YHWH:
13 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, dan para pemain musik di Rumah TUHAN memeriahkan perayaan itu dengan alat-alat musik mereka. Dengan cemas Atalya merobek pakaiannya dan berteriak, "Khianat! Khianat!"
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
14 Yoyada tidak mengizinkan Atalya dibunuh di sekitar Rumah TUHAN, jadi ia berkata kepada para perwira, "Bawalah dia ke luar melalui barisan pengawal, dan bunuh siapa saja yang berusaha menyelamatkan dia."
Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of YHWH.
15 Mereka menangkap dia, lalu membawanya ke istana. Di sana ia dibunuh di Pintu Gerbang Kuda.
So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
16 Imam Yoyada mengajak Raja Yoas dan rakyat bersama-sama dengan dia membuat perjanjian bahwa mereka akan menjadi umat TUHAN.
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be YHWH 's people.
17 Setelah itu mereka semua menyerbu dan meruntuhkan kuil Baal. Mezbah serta patung-patungnya dihancurkan, dan Matan, Imam Baal dibunuh di depan mezbah-mezbah itu.
Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Lalu Yoyada menugaskan para imam dan orang Lewi untuk mengurus pekerjaan di Rumah TUHAN menurut pembagian kerja yang telah ditentukan oleh Raja Daud. Mereka harus mempersembahkan kurban bakaran kepada TUHAN--sesuai dengan hukum-hukum Musa--dengan perayaan dan nyanyian-nyanyian seperti yang telah diatur oleh Daud.
Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of YHWH by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of YHWH, to offer the burnt offerings of YHWH, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
19 Di pintu-pintu gerbang Rumah TUHAN, Yoyada menempatkan pengawal untuk menjaga supaya orang yang tidak patut menyembah TUHAN jangan masuk.
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of YHWH, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
20 Para perwira, para tokoh masyarakat, para pejabat pemerintah, dan seluruh rakyat mengikuti Yoyada mengarak Raja Yoas dari Rumah TUHAN ke istana. Mereka masuk dari pintu gerbang utama lalu raja duduk di atas singgasana.
And 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 YHWH: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
21 Seluruh rakyat gembira, kota pun tenteram dan Atalya sudah dibunuh.
And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
