¹And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

¹Ko pa je videla Atalija, mati Ahazijeva, da je njen sin mrtev, vstane in pogubi vse seme kraljevo.

²But 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.

²Ali Joseba, hči kralja Jorama, sestra Ahazijeva, vzame Joasa, sina Ahazijevega, in ga ukrade izmed kraljevih sinov, ki so jih morili, in potisne njega in njegovo pestunjo v spalnico; in skrili so ga pred Atalijo, da ni bil umorjen.

³And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

³In bil je ž njo skrit v hiši GOSPODOVI šest let. Atalija pa je gospodovala deželi.

⁴And 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 showed them the king's son.

⁴A v sedmem letu pošlje Jojada in pokliče poveljnike nad sto Karejcev in stražarjev, ter jih pelje k sebi v hišo GOSPODOVO; in sklene zavezo ž njimi in vzame od njih prisego v hiši GOSPODOVI ter jim pokaže sina kraljevega.

⁵And 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;

⁵In jim zapove, rekoč: To je reč, ki jo boste storili: tretjina vas, ki prihajate noter ob sobotah, bodite na straži v hiši kraljevi;

⁶And 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.

⁶tretjina pa bodi pri Surskih vratih in tretjina bodi pri vratih vzadaj za stražarji; tako boste stregli v hišni straži, v obrano.

⁷And 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.

⁷A tista dva oddelka iz vas, vsi, ki odhajate ob sobotah, boste stregli v straži hiše GOSPODOVE pri kralju.

⁸And 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.

⁸In obkrožite kralja vseokrog, vsakdo držeč svoje orožje v roki; in kdor bi se vrinil v vaše vrste, bodi umorjen; in bodete pri kralju, ko pojde ven in ko pojde noter.

⁹And 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.

⁹In poveljniki nad sto 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, in pridejo k Jojadu duhovniku.

¹⁰And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.

¹⁰In duhovnik izroči poveljnikom nad sto sulice in ščite, ki jih je imel kralj David in so bili v hiši GOSPODOVI.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹In stražarji so stali, vsak mož z orožjem v roki, od desne strani hiše do leve strani hiše, poleg oltarja in hiše, okoli kralja.

¹²And 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.

¹²Potem pripelje ven sina kraljevega in dene nanj krono in mu da pričevanje; in ga postavijo za kralja ter ga pomazilijo, in ploskajo z rokami in govore: Živel kralj!

¹³And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.

¹³Ko pa je Atalija slišala glas straže in ljudstva, pride k ljudstvu v hišo GOSPODOVO.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴In pogleda, in glej, kralj stoji ob stebru, kakor je bila navada, in poveljniki in trobente pri njem, in vse ljudstvo dežele se veseli, in trobijo v trobente. Tedaj raztrga Atalija oblačila svoja in zavpije: Zarota, zarota!

¹⁵But 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.

¹⁵Jojada duhovnik pa zapove poveljnikom nad sto, ki so bili vojski na čelu, in jim reče: Odpeljite jo ven med vrstami, in kdor bi šel za njo, ubijte ga z mečem; kajti duhovnik je rekel: Ne sme umreti v hiši GOSPODOVI!

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁶In polože roke nanjo; in šla je po poti, koder hodijo konji v hišo kraljevo, in ondi so jo umorili.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷Tedaj sklene Jojada zavezo med GOSPODOM in kraljem in ljudstvom, da bodo ljudstvo GOSPODOVO, enako tudi med kraljem in ljudstvom.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸In vse ljudstvo dežele 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. In duhovnik je postavil nadzornike pri hiši GOSPODOVI.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹In vzame poveljnike nad sto in Karejce in stražarje in vse ljudstvo dežele, in privedejo kralja doli od hiše GOSPODOVE in pridejo skozi vrata straže k hiši kraljevi. In sedel je na kraljev prestol.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰In vse ljudstvo dežele se je veselilo, in mesto je imelo mir. Atalijo pa so bili umorili z mečem pri kraljevi hiši.Joas je bil sedem let star, ko je zakraljeval.

²¹Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.

²¹Joas je bil sedem let star, ko je zakraljeval.
