2 Raja-raja 11
1 Ketika Atalya mengetahui bahwa Raja Ahazia, anaknya, sudah mati, ia memerintahkan supaya seluruh keluarga Ahazia dibunuh.
And Athalia the mother of Ochozias seeing that her son was dead, arose, and slew all the royal seed.
2 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.
But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia, so that he was not slain.
3 Enam tahun lamanya Yoseba memelihara anak itu di dalam Rumah TUHAN sewaktu Atalya memerintah sebagai ratu.
And he was with her six years hid in the house of the Lord. And Athalia reigned over the land.
4 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,
And in the seventh year Joiada seat, and taking the centurions and the soldiers, brought them in to him into the temple of the Lord, and made a covenant with them: and taking an oath of them in the house of the Lord, shewed them the king’s son:
5 dan memberi perintah ini, "Apabila kalian bertugas pada hari Sabat, sepertiga dari kalian harus berjaga di istana,
And he commanded them, saying: This is the thing that you must do:
6 sepertiga lagi di pintu Gerbang Sur, dan selebihnya di pintu gerbang di belakang pengawal-pengawal yang lain.
Let a third part of you go in on the sabbath, and keep the watch of the king’s house. And let a third part be at the gate of Sur: and let a third part be at the gate behind the dwelling of the shieldbearers: and you shall keep the watch of the house of Messa.
7 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."
But let two parts of you, all that go forth on the sabbath, keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.
And you shall compass him round about, having weapons in your hands: and if any man shall enter the precinct of the temple, let him be slain: and you shall be with the king coming in and going out.
9 Para perwira itu mentaati perintah Yoyada dan membawa kepadanya anak buah mereka yang harus bertugas dan yang lepas tugas pada hari Sabat itu.
And the centurions did according to all things that Joiada the priest had commanded them: and taking every one their men, that went in on the sabbath, with them that went out on the sabbath, came to Joiada the priest.
10 Yoyada memberikan kepada para perwira itu tombak-tombak dan perisai-perisai Raja Daud yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN.
And he gave them the spears, and the arms of king David, which were in the house of the Lord.
11 Lalu para pengawal, masing-masing dengan pedang terhunus, mengambil tempat mereka di sekeliling bagian depan Rumah TUHAN untuk melindungi raja.
And they stood having every one their weapons in their hands, from the right side of the temple, unto the left side of the altar, and of the temple, about the king.
12 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!"
And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the diadem upon him, and the testimony: and they made him king, and anointed him: and clapping their hands. they said, God save the king.
13 Ratu Atalya mendengar sorak sorai para pengawal dan rakyat. Cepat-cepat ia pergi ke Rumah TUHAN, di mana orang banyak berkerumun.
And Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple of the Lord,
14 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!"
She saw the king standing upon a tribunal, as the manner was, and the singers, and the trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets: and she rent her garments, and cried: A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
15 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."
But Joiada commended the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord.
16 Mereka menangkap dia, lalu membawanya ke istana. Di sana ia dibunuh di depan pintu Gerbang Kuda.
And they laid hands on her: and thrust her out by the way by which the horses go in, by the palace, and she was slain there.
17 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.
And Joiada made a covenant between the Lord, and the king, and the people, that they should be the people of the Lord, and between the king and the people.
18 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,
And all the people of the land went into the temple of Baal, and broke down his altars, and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly: they slew also Mathan the priest of Baal before the altar. And the priest set guards in the house of the Lord.
19 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.
And he took the centurions, and the bands of the Cerethi and the Phelethi, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the house of the Lord: and they came by the way of the gate of the shieldbearers into the palace. and he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 Seluruh rakyat gembira, kota pun tenteram dan Atalya sudah dibunuh.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword in the king’s house.
21 Yoas berumur tujuh tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja Yehuda.
Now Joas was seven years old, when he began to reign.
