¹And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

¹Aga seitsmendal aastal võttis Joojada julguse ja tegi lepingu sajapealikutega: Jerohami poja Asarjaga, Joohanani poja Ismaeliga, Oobedi poja Asarjaga, Adaja poja Maasejaga ja Sikri poja Elisafatiga.

²And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

²Nemad käisid Juudas ringi ja kogusid kokku kõigist Juuda linnadest leviidid ja Iisraeli perekondade peamehed; ja nad tulid Jeruusalemma.

³And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.

³Ja terve kogudus tegi Jumala kojas lepingu kuninga küsimuses. Ja Joojada ütles neile: 'Vaata, kuninga poeg peab saama kuningaks, nõnda nagu Issand on öelnud Taaveti poegade kohta!

⁴This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;

⁴Teil tuleb teha nõnda: kolmandik teist, preestritest ja leviitidest, kes tuleb hingamispäeval, olgu värava lävehoidjaks;

⁵And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.

⁵kolmandik olgu kuningakojas ja kolmandik olgu Jesoodi väravas; ja kõik muu rahvas olgu Issanda koja õuedes.

⁶But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

⁶Aga Issanda kotta ei tohi minna ükski peale preestrite ja teenistuses olevate leviitide; nemad võivad sisse minna, sest nad on pühitsetud, aga kõik muu rahvas täitku Issanda korraldust.

⁷And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.

⁷Leviidid asugu ringi ümber kuninga, igaühel oma sõjariistad käes, ja kes kotta tuleb, see surmatagu! Nõnda olge kuninga juures, kui ta sisse tuleb või välja läheb!'

⁸So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.

⁸Ja leviidid ning kogu Juuda tegid kõik nõnda, nagu preester Joojada käskis; ja igaüks võttis oma mehed, niihästi need, kes hingamispäeval tulid, kui ka need, kes hingamispäeval pidid ära minema, sest preester Joojada ei vabastanud neid rühmi.

⁹Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.

⁹Ja preester Joojada andis sajapealikuile piigid ning suured ja väikesed kilbid, mis olid kuulunud kuningas Taavetile ja mis olid Jumala kojas.

¹⁰And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

¹⁰Ja ta paigutas kogu rahva, igaühel oma viskoda käes, koja paremast tiivast koja vasaku tiivani, altari ja koja suunas ümber kuninga.

¹¹Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.

¹¹Siis toodi kuningapoeg välja, pandi kroon pähe, anti kinnituskiri kätte ja tõsteti kuningaks, Joojada ja tema pojad võidsid teda ja hüüdsid: 'Elagu kuningas!'

¹²Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:

¹²Kui Atalja kuulis jooksva ja kuningat ülistava rahva häält, siis tuli ta rahva juurde Issanda kotta.

¹³And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

¹³Ta vaatas, ja ennäe, kuningas seisis samba juures sissekäigu ligidal. Pealikud ja pasunapuhujad olid kuninga juures, kogu maa rahvas oli rõõmus ja puhus pasunaid, ja lauljad mänguriistadega juhatasid kiituslaulu. Siis käristas Atalja oma riided lõhki ja hüüdis: 'Vandenõu! Vandenõu!'

¹⁴Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.

¹⁴Aga preester Joojada saatis välja sajapealikud, sõjaväe ülemad, ja ütles neile: 'Viige ta ridade vahelt välja, ja kes läheb temale järele, see surmatagu mõõgaga!' Sest preester oli öelnud: 'Ärge surmake teda Issanda kojas!'

¹⁵So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

¹⁵Siis nad panid käed ta külge; ja kui Atalja oli jõudnud kuningakoja Hobuvärava sissekäiguni, siis nad surmasid ta seal.

¹⁶And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD's people.

¹⁶Ja Joojada tegi lepingu iseenese ja kogu rahva ning kuninga vahel, et nad tahavad olla Issanda rahvas.

¹⁷Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

¹⁷Siis läks kogu rahvas Baali kotta ja nad kiskusid selle maha; nad purustasid selle altarid ja kujud ning tapsid Mattani, Baali preestri, altarite ees.

¹⁸Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.

¹⁸Siis Joojada seadis valvurid Issanda kojale, leviitpreestrite juhatuse alla, keda Taavet Issanda kojale oli jaotanud, et ohverdataks Issandale põletusohvreid, nõnda nagu Moosese Seaduses on kirjutatud, Taaveti korralduse kohaselt rõõmu ja lauluga.

¹⁹And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.

¹⁹Ja ta seadis väravahoidjad Issanda koja väravaile, et ei pääseks sisse see, kes mõnel põhjusel on roojane.

²⁰And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.

²⁰Ja ta võttis sajapealikud, ülikud ja rahva valitsejad ja kogu maa rahva ja viis kuninga Issanda kojast alla; ja nad tulid läbi Ülavärava kuningakotta ning panid kuninga istuma kuninglikule aujärjele.

²¹And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

²¹Ja kogu maa rahvas oli rõõmus, ja linnas oli rahu, kui Atalja oli mõõgaga surmatud.
