2 Reis 11

1 E Atalia mãe de Acazias, vendo que seu filho era morto, levantou-se, e destruiu toda a semente real.

Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and killed all the royal children.

2 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.

But Jehosheba, a daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and hid him away from among the king's sons who were killed, along with his nurse; she put them into a bedroom. They hid him from Athaliah so that he was not killed.

3 E esteve com ela escondido na casa do SENHOR durante seis anos; e Atalia foi rainha sobre aquela terra.

He remained with her six years, hidden in the house of Yahweh, while Athaliah reigned over the land.

4 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.

In the seventh year, Jehoiada sent messages and brought the commanders of hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to himself, into the temple of Yahweh. He made a covenant with them, and he made them swear an oath in the house of Yahweh. Then he showed them the king's son.

5 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;

He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do. A third of you who come on the Sabbath will keep watch over the king's house,

6 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.

and a third will be at the Sur Gate, and a third at the gate behind the guardhouse.”

7 E as duas partes de vós, a saber, todos os que saem o sábado, tereis a guarda da casa do SENHOR junto ao rei.

The two other groups who are not serving on the Sabbath, you must keep the watch over the house of Yahweh for the king.

8 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.

You must surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever enters within your ranks, let him be killed. You must stay with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.

9 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.

So the commanders of hundreds obeyed everything Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one took his men, those who were to come in to serve on the Sabbath, and those who were to stop serving on that Sabbath; and they came to Jehoiada the priest.

10 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.

Then Jehoiada the priest gave the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields that belonged to King David and that were in the house of Yahweh.

11 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.

So the guards stood, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side, near the altar and the temple, surrounding the king.

12 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!

Then Jehoiada brought out the king's son Joash, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant decrees. Then they made him king and anointed him. They clapped their hands and said, “Long live the king!”

13 E ouvindo Atalia o estrondo do povo que corria, entrou ao povo no templo do SENHOR;

When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people in the house of Yahweh.

14 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!

She looked, and, behold, the king was standing by the pillar, as the custom was, and the captains and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”

15 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.)

Then Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds who were over the army, saying, “Bring her out between the ranks. Anyone who follows her, kill him with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of Yahweh.”

16 Deram-lhe, pois, lugar, e quando ia o caminho por de onde entram os cavaleiros à casa do rei, ali a mataram.

So they seized her as she reached the place where the horses enter the palace grounds, and there she was killed.

17 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.

Then Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and people, that they should be Yahweh's people, and also between the king and the people.

18 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.

So all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal's altars and his idol figures to pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those altars. Then Jehoida the priest appointed guards over the temple of Yahweh.

19 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.

Jehoida took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guard, and all the people of the land, and together they brought down the king from the house of Yahweh and they went into the king's house, entering by way of the gate of the guards. Joash took his place on the royal throne.

20 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.

So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been killed with the sword at the king's house.

21 Era Joás de sete anos quando começou a reinar.

Joash was seven years old when he began to reign.
