II Kings 11

Zato Ahazjina mati Atalija, vidjevši gdje joj sin poginu, ustade i posmica sav kraljevski rod.

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

Ali Jošeba, kći kralja Jorama i sestra Ahazjina, uze Ahazjina sina Joaša; ukravši ga između kraljevih sinova koje su ubijali, metnu ga s dojiljom u ložnicu. Tako ga je sakrila od Atalije te nije pogubljen.

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 which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

Bio je sakriven u Domu Jahvinu šest godina, sve dok je zemljom vladala Atalija.

And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

Sedme godine Jojada posla po satnike Karijaca i tjelesnu stražu i pozva ih k sebi u Dom Jahvin. Sklopi s njima savez, zakle ih i pokaza im kraljeva sina.

And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched 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 shewed them the king's son.

I reče im: "Evo što valja da učinite: trećina vas koji subotom ulazite u službu neka čuva stražu kod kraljevskoga dvora.

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;

Druga trećina, ona kod Surskih vrata, i treća trećina, ona kod stražnjih stražarskih vrata, neka čuvaju stražu kod ulaza u dvor;

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.

a ostala dva vaša odreda, svi koji subotom izlaze iz službe, neka čuvaju stražu u Domu Jahvinu kod kralja.

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.

Tako ćete okružiti kralja, svaki s oružjem u ruci. I tko god pokuša proći kroz vaše redove, neka bude pogubljen. Budite uz kralja kamo god pođe ili izađe."

And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.

Satnici su učinili sve kako im je naredio svećenik Jojada. Svaki je od njih uzeo svoje ljude koji subotom ulaze u službu s onima koji subotom izlaze. I svi su došli svećeniku Jojadi.

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.

Svećenik dade satnicima koplja i štitove kralja Davida što su bili u Domu Jahvinu.

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

Stražari se svrstaše, s oružjem u ruci, od južne do sjeverne strane Doma i prema žrtveniku i Domu oko kralja unaokolo.

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

Tada Jojada izvede sina kraljeva, stavi mu krunu i dade mu Svjedočanstvo te ga pomaza za kralja. Pljeskali su i vikali: "Živio kralj!"

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.

Kad Atalija ču viku naroda, dođe k narodu u Dom Jahvin.

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

Pogleda bolje, kad gle, kralj, po običaju, stoji na svojem mjestu, a pred kraljem zapovjednici i svirači; sav puk klikće od radosti i trubi u trube. Tad Atalija razdrije haljine i povika: "Izdaja! Izdaja!"

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 rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

Svećenik Jojada naredi satnicima i vojnim zapovjednicima: "Izvedite je kroz redove i tko krene za njom pogubite ga mačem." Još je svećenik dodao: "Nemojte je smaknuti u Domu Jahvinu."

But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: 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.

Staviše ruke na nju; a kad je kroz Konjska vrata stigla do kraljevskog dvora, ondje je pogubiše.

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

Tada Jojada sklopi savez između Jahve, kralja i naroda da narod bude narod Jahvin.

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.

Potom sav narod ode u Baalov hram i razoriše ga, porušiše žrtvenike i polomiše likove; a Baalova svećenika Matana ubiše pred žrtvenicima. A svećenik opet postavi straže kod Doma Jahvina.

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

Zatim uze satnike Karijaca, stražu i sav narod. Oni izvedoše kralja iz Doma Jahvina i uvedoše ga u dvor kroz Vrata stražarska. I Joaš sjede na kraljevsko prijestolje.

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.

Sav se puk veselio i grad se smirio kad su Ataliju ubili mačem u kraljevskom dvoru.

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.

Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
