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

¹Kui Ahasja ema Atalja nägi, et ta poeg oli surnud, siis ta võttis kätte ja hukkas kogu kuningliku soo.

²But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, even him and his nurse, [and put them] in the bedchamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain;

²Aga Jooseba, kuningas Joorami tütar, Ahasja õde, võttis Joase, Ahasja poja, ja viis tema surmale määratud kuningapoegade hulgast salaja ühte magamiskambrisse, tema ja ta imetaja; ja nad peitsid teda Atalja eest, nõnda et ta ei saanud surma.

³And he was with her hid in the house of Jehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.

³Ja ta oli Jooseba juures Issanda kojas peidus kuus aastat, kuna Atalja valitses maad.

⁴And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of Jehovah; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and showed them the king's son.

⁴Aga seitsmendal aastal läkitas Joojada kaarlaste ja ihukaitse sajapealikute järele ning laskis nad tulla enese juurde Issanda kotta; ja ta tegi nendega lepingu, vannutas neid Issanda kojas ja näitas neile kuningapoega.

⁵And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house;

⁵Ja ta andis neile käsu, öeldes: 'Teil tuleb teha nõnda: kolmandik teist, kes tuleb hingamispäeval, pidagu kuningakoja vahiteenistust,

⁶And a third part shall be at the gate Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.

⁶kolmandik olgu Suuri väravas ja kolmandik väravas ihukaitse taga - koja vahiteenistust te peate pidama vaheldumisi -

⁷And the two companies of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah about the king.

⁷ja teie kaks muud rühma, kes lähevad ära hingamispäeval, pidagu Issanda koja vahiteenistust kuninga juures.

⁸And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain: and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when he cometh in.

⁸Asuge siis ringi ümber kuninga, igaühel oma sõjariistad käes, ja kes rivile ligineb, see surmatagu! Nõnda olge kuninga juures, kui ta välja läheb või sisse tuleb!'

⁹And the captains over hundreds 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, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

⁹Ja sajapealikud tegid kõik nõnda, nagu preester Joojada käskis, ja igaüks võttis oma mehed, niihästi need, kes tulid hingamispäeval, kui ka need, kes pidid ära minema hingamispäeval, ja nad tulid preester Joojada juurde.

¹⁰And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of Jehovah.

¹⁰Ja preester andis sajapealikuile piigid ja kilbid, mis olid kuulunud kuningas Taavetile ja mis olid Issanda kojas.

¹¹And the guard stood, every man with his weapons 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.

¹¹Ja ihukaitsjad seisid, igaühel oma sõjariistad käes, koja paremast tiivast koja vasaku tiivani, altari ja koja suunas ümber kuninga.

¹²Then he brought out 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, [Long] live the king.

¹²Siis tõi ta välja kuningapoja, pani temale krooni pähe ja andis tunnistuskirja kätte ja nad tõstsid tema kuningaks ning võidsid teda; ja nad plaksutasid käsi ning hüüdsid: 'Elagu kuningas!'

¹³And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [and of] the people, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah:

¹³Kui Atalja kuulis ihukaitsjate ja rahva häält, siis ta tuli rahva juurde Issanda kotta.

¹⁴and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason! treason!

¹⁴Ta vaatas, ja ennäe, kuningas seisis samba juures, nagu oli viisiks, ja pealikud ning pasunapuhujad olid kuninga juures, kogu maa rahvas oli rõõmus ja puhus pasunaid. Siis käristas Atalja oma riided lõhki ja hüüdis: 'Vandenõu! Vandenõu!'

¹⁵And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of Jehovah.

¹⁵Aga preester Joojada käskis sajapealikuid, sõjaväe ülemaid, ja ütles neile: 'Viige ta ridade vahelt välja, ja kes läheb temale järele, see surmake mõõgaga!' Sest preester oli öelnud: 'Ärge surmake teda Issanda kojas!'

¹⁶So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house: and there was she slain.

¹⁶Siis nad panid käed ta külge; ja kui ta oli jõudnud teele, mida mööda viiakse hobuseid kuningakotta, siis surmati ta seal.

¹⁷And Jehoiada made a covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be Jehovah's people; between the king also and the people.

¹⁷Ja Joojada tegi lepingu Issanda ning kuninga ja rahva vahel, et nad oleksid Issanda rahvas; nõnda ka kuninga ja rahva vahel.

¹⁸And all the people of the land went to 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 Jehovah.

¹⁸Siis läks kogu maa rahvas Baali kotta ja kiskus selle maha; nad purustasid sootuks selle altarid ja kujud, ja tapsid Mattani, Baali preestri, altarite ees. Seejärel seadis preester valvurid Issanda kojale.

¹⁹And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

¹⁹Ja ta võttis sajapealikud, kaarlased ja ihukaitsjad ning kogu maa rahva ja nad viisid kuninga Issanda kojast ning tulid ihukaitse värava kaudu kuningakotta; ja kuningas istus kuningate aujärjele.

²⁰So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And Athaliah they had slain with the sword at the king's house.

²⁰Ja kogu maa rahvas oli rõõmus, ja linnas oli rahu, kui Atalja oli kuningakoja juures mõõgaga surmatud.

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