¹A keď videla Atália, matka Achaziášova, že zomrel jej syn, vstala a zahubila všetko kráľovské semä.

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

²Ale Jehošeba, dcéra kráľa Jehoráma, sestra Achaziášova, vzala Joasa, syna Achaziášovho, a ukradnúc ho zpomedzi synov kráľových, ktorí mali byť zabití, jeho i jeho dojku, schovala ich v izbe postelí. A tak ho ukryli pred Atáliou, a nebol zabitý.

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;

³A bol s ňou v dome Hospodinovom skrývajúc sa šesť rokov. A Atália kraľovala nad zemou.

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

⁴Ale v siedmom roku poslal Jehojada povolať a pojal so sebou veliteľov nad stami, kráľovskú stráž a behúňov, a zaviedol ich k sebe do domu Hospodinovho a učinil s nimi smluvu a zaviažuc ich prísahou v dome Hospodinovom ukázal im syna kráľovho.

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.

⁵A prikázal im povediac: Toto je vec, ktorú učiníte: Tretina z vás, ktorí prichádzavate v sobotu a strážite stráž, bude pri dome kráľovom;

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;

⁶tretina bude pri bráne Súr a tretina pri bráne za behúňmi, a budete strážiť stráž domu a chrániť ho pred útokom.

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.

⁷A dva diely z vás, všetci, ktorí odchádzavate v sobotu, budú strážiť stráž domu Hospodinovho pri kráľovi.

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.

⁸A obstúpite kráľa dookola majúc každý svoju zbraň vo svojej ruke, a kto by prišiel, aby vniknul do rozostavených radov, zomrie. A buďte s kráľom všade, kamkoľvek by sa pohol, keď vyjde i keď vojde.

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.

⁹A velitelia nad stami učinili všetko tak, ako rozkázal kňaz Jehojada, a pojali každý svojich mužov, ktorí prichádzavali v sobotu, i s tými, ktorí odchádzavali v sobotu, a prišli ku kňazovi Jehojadovi.

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.

¹⁰A kňaz dal veliteľom nad stami kopije a štíty, ktoré patrily kedysi kráľovi Dávidovi a ktoré boly v dome Hospodinovom.

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.

¹¹A tak sa postavili behúni, každý so svojou zbraňou vo svojej ruke, od pravej strany domu až po ľavú stranu domu pozdĺž oproti oltáru a oproti domu, pri kráľovi dookola.

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.

¹²Potom vyviedol syna kráľovho a dal na neho korunu, podal mu svedoctvo, a učinili ho kráľom, pomazali ho a tlieskajúc rukami hovorili: Nech žije kráľ!

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.

¹³A keď počula Atália hukot behúňov a ľudu, vošla k ľudu do domu Hospodinovho.

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

¹⁴A vidiac, že hľa, kráľ stojí na vyvýšenom mieste, jako býva obyčaj, a že kniežatá a trúby sú pred kráľom, že všetok ľud zeme sa raduje, a že trúbia na trúby, vtedy roztrhla Atália svoje rúcho a volala: Zrada, zrada!

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!

¹⁵Vtedy povedal kňaz Jehojada veliteľom nad stami, ustanoveným nad vojskom, a riekol im: Vyveďte ju preč zpomedzi radov, a toho, kto by išiel za ňou, zabiť mečom! Pretože riekol kňaz: Nech nie je zabitá v dome Hospodinovom.

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.

¹⁶A rozostúpili sa jej na obe strany; ale keď prišla na cestu, ktorou chodia kone do domu kráľovho, tam ju zabili.

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.

¹⁷Vtedy učinil Jehojada smluvu medzi Hospodinom a medzi kráľom i medzi ľudom, aby boli ľudom Hospodinovým, a taktiež medzi kráľom a medzi ľudom.

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.

¹⁸Potom vošiel všetok ľud zeme do domu Bálovho, a rozborili ho a jeho oltáre i jeho obrazy roztrieskali na márne kusy a Mattána, kňaza Bálovho, zabili pred oltármi. A kňaz Jehojada zase ustanovil dozorné úrady nad domom Hospodinovým.

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.

¹⁹A pojal veliteľov nad stami i kráľovskú stráž i behúňov i všetok ľud zeme, ktorí odviedli kráľa z domu Hospodinovho dolu a prišli cestou brány behúňov do domu kráľovho, a sadol na trón svojich predkov kráľov.

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.

²⁰A tak sa radoval všetok ľud zeme, a mesto bolo v pokoji. A Atáliu zabili mečom pri dome kráľovom.

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.

²¹A Joas mal sedem rokov, keď začal kraľovať.

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