2 Reis 11

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

And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

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, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons who were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

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

And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And 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.

And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and 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;

And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of 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 part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.

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.

And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about 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.

And ye shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh 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.

And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and 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.

And to the captains over hundreds the priest gave king David’s spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.

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.

And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, around the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.

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!

And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

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

And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.

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!

And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, 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.)

But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said to them, Have her forth beyond the ranks: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.

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

And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain.

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.

And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’S people; between the king also 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.

And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images they broke wholly in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.

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.

And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

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.

And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.

21 Era Joás de sete anos quando começou a reinar.

Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
