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 heads of fathers' [houses] 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 assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning 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, that come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds;

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 Jehovah.

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

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

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 cometh into the house, let him be slain: and 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 that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath; with those 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.

⁹And Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the 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 with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, 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 the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, [Long] live 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!'

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

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

¹³and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also [played] on instruments of music, and led the singing of 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!'

¹⁴And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword: for the priest said, Slay her not in the house of Jehovah.

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 made way for her; and she went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king's house: and 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 himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovah's people.

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

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸And Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of 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 Jehovah, that none that was unclean in anything 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 Jehovah: and they came through the upper gate unto 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.

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

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