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.

¹V sedmem letu se pa ojunači Jojada in vzame k sebi poveljnike čez sto, Azarija, sina Jerohamovega, in Izmaela, sina Johananovega, in Azarija, sina Obedovega, in Maaseja, sina Adajevega, in Elisafata, sina Zihrijevega, ter sklene ž njimi zavezo.

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.

²Ti gredo okoli po Judovem in zbero levite iz vseh mest Judovih in poglavarje očetovin Izraelovih, in pridejo v Jeruzalem.

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.

³In ves ta zbor sklene zavezo s kraljem v hiši Božji. In Jojada jim reče: Glejte, kraljev sin ima kraljevati, kakor je GOSPOD govoril za sinove Davidove.

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;

⁴To je reč, ki jo boste storili: tretjina vas duhovnikov in levitov, ki prihajate noter v soboto, bodete na straži med vrati,

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.

⁵tretjina pa bodi ob hiši kraljevi in tretjina pri temeljnih vratih; in vse ljudstvo bodi na dvoriščih hiše GOSPODOVE.

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.

⁶A nihče naj ne stopi v hišo GOSPODOVO razen duhovnikov in tistih levitov, ki strežejo: oni smejo iti noter, ker so sveti; ali vse ljudstvo bodi služno na straži GOSPODOVI.

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.

⁷In leviti obkrožijo kralja vseokrog, vsak držeč orožje v roki; in kdor bi stopil v hišo, bodi umorjen; in bodite pri kralju, ko pojde ven in ko pojde noter.

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.

⁸Leviti torej in ves Juda so storili vse, kakor jim je zapovedal Jojada duhovnik: vsak vzame k sebi može svoje, tiste, ki so imeli priti služit v soboto, s tistimi, ki jim je bilo oditi v soboto, zakaj Jojada ni bil odpustil teh oddelkov.

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.

⁹In Jojada duhovnik izroči poveljnikom nad sto sulice in ščite in orožje kralja Davida, ki je bilo v hiši GOSPODOVI.

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.

¹⁰In razpostavil je vse ljudstvo, vsakega z orožjem v roki, od desne do leve strani hiše, poleg oltarja in poleg hiše, okoli kralja.

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.

¹¹Nato pripeljejo ven sina kraljevega in denejo krono nanj ter mu dado pričevanje in ga postavijo za kralja, in Jojada in sinovi njegovi ga pomazilijo; in kličejo: Živel kralj!

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:

¹²Ko pa je Atalija slišala glas ljudstva, ki je pritekalo in kralja hvalilo, pride k ljudstvu v hišo GOSPODOVO.

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.

¹³In pogleda in glej, kralj stoji ob svojem stebru pri vhodu in poveljniki in trobente okoli kralja, in vse ljudstvo dežele se veseli in trobijo na trobente, pevci pojo tudi z glasbenim orodjem hvalospeve. Tedaj si raztrga Atalija oblačila in reče: Zarota, zarota!

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.

¹⁴In Jojada duhovnik gre ven s poveljniki nad sto, ki so bili na čelu vojske, in jim veli: Odpeljite jo ven med vrstami, in kdor bi šel za njo, njega ubijte z mečem! kajti duhovnik je rekel: Ne ubijte je v hiši GOSPODOVI!

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.

¹⁵In polože roko nanjo; in šla je skozi vhod Konjskih vrat do kraljeve hiše, in ondi so jo umorili.

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

¹⁶Tedaj sklene Jojada zavezo med seboj in vsem ljudstvom in kraljem, da bodo ljudstvo GOSPODOVO.

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.

¹⁷In vse ljudstvo je šlo v hišo Baalovo in so jo porušili, oltarje in podobe njegove pa so strli v kosce, in Matana, duhovnika Baalovega, so umorili pred oltarji.

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.

¹⁸In Jojada je poveril službe hiše GOSPODOVE oblasti duhovnikov levitov, ki jih je porazdelil David v hiši GOSPODOVI, da darujejo žgalščine GOSPODOVE, kakor je pisano v zakonu Mojzesovem, z veseljem in petjem, po naredbi Davidovi.

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.

¹⁹In postavil je vratarje pri vratih hiše GOSPODOVE, da ne bi noter šel nihče, ki bi bil kakorkoli nečist.

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.

²⁰In vzame poveljnike nad sto in plemenitnike ter oblastnike v ljudstvu in vse ljudstvo dežele ter pripelje kralja doli iz hiše GOSPODOVE, in pridejo skozi zgornja vrata v hišo kraljevo in posade kralja na kraljestva prestol.In vse ljudstvo dežele se je veselilo in mesto je imelo mir. Atalijo pa so bili umorili z mečem.

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

²¹In vse ljudstvo dežele se je veselilo in mesto je imelo mir. Atalijo pa so bili umorili z mečem.
