Вторая книга Паралипоменон 23

1 В лето же седмое укрепися Иодай, и взя сотники, Азарию сына Иорамля и Исмаила сына Иоананя, и Азарию сына Овидова и Амасию сына Адиева и Елисафана сына Захариина с собою в дом Господень.

In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him.

2 И обыдоша Иудею, и собраша левиты от всех градов Иудиных и началники отечеств Израилевых, и приидоша во Иерусалим.

They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

3 И завеща все собрание Иудино завет в дому Божии со царем: и показа им сына царева и рече им (Иодай): се, сын царев да воцарится, якоже глагола Господь о доме Давидове:

All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.

4 и ныне слово сие, еже сотворите: третия часть от вас да изыдет в субботу, священников и левитов, и во врата входов,

This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.

5 и третия часть в дому цареве, и третия часть во вратех средних, и вси людие (да будут) во дворех дому Господня:

A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house.

6 и никтоже да внидет в дом Господень, токмо священницы и левити и иже служат от левит: тии внидут, яко освящени суть, вси же людие да держат стражу Господню:

But let no one come into the LORD’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD’s instructions.

7 левити же да ходят окрест царя, кийждо имея оружие свое в руку своею, и входяй в церков да убиется, и да будут со царем, входящу ему и исходящу.

The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”

8 И сотвориша левити и весь Иуда по всему, елика повеле им Иодай жрец: и взяша кийждо мужы своя от начала субботы даже до исхода субботы: занеже не остави Иодай жрец службы дневныя.

So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.

9 И даде Иодай священник сотником по чину поставленным мечы и щиты и броня, яже бяху царя Давида в дому Божии,

Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.

10 и постави вся люди, коегождо во оружии его, от десныя страны церкве даже до левыя страны олтаря и церкве, над царем окрест:

He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.

11 и изведе сына царева, и возложиша на него диадиму и свидения, и поставиша его царем, и помаза его Иодай жрец и сынове его и рекоша да живет царь.

Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”

12 И услыша Гофолиа глас людий текущих и исповедающих и хвалящих царя, и вниде ко царю в церковь Господню,

When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house.

13 и виде, и се, царь стояше на степени своем, на входе же князи и трубы, и началницы окрест царя: и вси людие земли возрадовашася и вострубиша трубами, и поюще во органы певцы, и хваляще хвалою. И растерза Гофолиа ризы своя, и возопи и рече: нападающе нападаете.

Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew shofars. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”

14 Изыде же Иодай архиерей, и повеле сотником и началником силы и рече им: изрините ю вон из церкве, и изыдите вслед ея, и да убиется мечем. Рече бо священник да не умрет в дому Господни.

Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the LORD’s house.”

15 И даша ей ослабу на мало, дондеже пройде врата конник дому царева и убиша ю тамо.

So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.

16 И завеща Иодай завет между собою и всеми людьми и царем, да быша были людие Господни.

Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.

17 И внидоша вси людие земли в дом Ваалов и разориша его, и олтари его и идолы его сокрушиша, и Матфана жерца Ваалова убиша пред олтарем его.

All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

18 И вручи Иодай жрец дела дому Господня в руку священников и левитов, и возстави дневныя чреды жерцев и левитов, яже раздели Давиде в дому Господни, и вознесе всесожжения Господеви, якоже писано есть в законе Моисеове, в радости и пениих по расположению Давидову:

Jehoiada appointed the officers of the LORD’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in the LORD’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the Torah of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.

19 и постави придверники во вратех дому Господня, и да не внидет нечист во всяцей вещи:

He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the LORD’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.

20 и взя отечеств началники, и сильныя, и началники людий, и вся люди земли, и возведоша царя от дому Господня, и вниде вратами внутренними в дом царев, и посадиша царя на престоле царстем.

He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the LORD’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

21 И возвеселишася вси людие земстии и град упокоися, и Гофолиа убиена есть мечем.

So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
