1Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
1Zato Ahazjina mati Atalija, vidjevši gdje joj sin poginu, ustade i posmica sav kraljevski rod.
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 who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain;
2Ali Jošeba, kći kralja Jorama i sestra Ahazjina, uze Ahazjina sina Joaša; ukravši ga između kraljevih sinova koje su ubijali, metnu ga s dojiljom u ložnicu. Tako ga je sakrila od Atalije te nije pogubljen.
3He was with her hidden in the house of Yahweh six years. Athaliah reigned over the land.
3Bio je sakriven u Domu Jahvinu šest godina, sve dok je zemljom vladala Atalija.
4In 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 Yahweh; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Yahweh, and showed them the king’s son.
4Sedme godine Jojada posla po satnike Karijaca i tjelesnu stražu i pozva ih k sebi u Dom Jahvin. Sklopi s njima savez, zakle ih i pokaza im kraljeva sina.
5He commanded them, saying, “This is the thing that you shall do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
5I reče im: "Evo što valja da učinite: trećina vas koji subotom ulazite u službu neka čuva stražu kod kraljevskoga dvora.
6A third part shall be at the gate Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
6Druga trećina, ona kod Surskih vrata, i treća trećina, ona kod stražnjih stražarskih vrata, neka čuvaju stražu kod ulaza u dvor;
7The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Yahweh around the king.
7a ostala dva vaša odreda, svi koji subotom izlaze iz službe, neka čuvaju stražu u Domu Jahvinu kod kralja.
8You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”
8Tako ćete okružiti kralja, svaki s oružjem u ruci. I tko god pokuša proći kroz vaše redove, neka bude pogubljen. Budite uz kralja kamo god pođe ili izađe."
9The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
9Satnici su učinili sve kako im je naredio svećenik Jojada. Svaki je od njih uzeo svoje ljude koji subotom ulaze u službu s onima koji subotom izlaze. I svi su došli svećeniku Jojadi.
10The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David’s, which were in the house of Yahweh.
10Svećenik dade satnicima koplja i štitove kralja Davida što su bili u Domu Jahvinu.
11The 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, around the king.
11Stražari se svrstaše, s oružjem u ruci, od južne do sjeverne strane Doma i prema žrtveniku i Domu oko kralja unaokolo.
12Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on 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!”
12Tada Jojada izvede sina kraljeva, stavi mu krunu i dade mu Svjedočanstvo te ga pomaza za kralja. Pljeskali su i vikali: "Živio kralj!"
13When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:
13Kad Atalija ču viku naroda, dođe k narodu u Dom Jahvin.
14and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
14Pogleda bolje, kad gle, kralj, po običaju, stoji na svojem mjestu, a pred kraljem zapovjednici i svirači; sav puk klikće od radosti i trubi u trube. Tad Atalija razdrije haljine i povika: "Izdaja! Izdaja!"
15Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill him who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in the house of Yahweh.”
15Svećenik Jojada naredi satnicima i vojnim zapovjednicima: "Izvedite je kroz redove i tko krene za njom pogubite ga mačem." Još je svećenik dodao: "Nemojte je smaknuti u Domu Jahvinu."
16So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house. She was slain there.
16Staviše ruke na nju; a kad je kroz Konjska vrata stigla do kraljevskog dvora, ondje je pogubiše.
17Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that they should be Yahweh’s people; between the king also and the people.
17Tada Jojada sklopi savez između Jahve, kralja i naroda da narod bude narod Jahvin.
18All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the house of Yahweh.
18Potom sav narod ode u Baalov hram i razoriše ga, porušiše žrtvenike i polomiše likove; a Baalova svećenika Matana ubiše pred žrtvenicima. A svećenik opet postavi straže kod Doma Jahvina.
19He 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 Yahweh, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings.
19Zatim uze satnike Karijaca, stražu i sav narod. Oni izvedoše kralja iz Doma Jahvina i uvedoše ga u dvor kroz Vrata stražarska. I Joaš sjede na kraljevsko prijestolje.
20So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword at the king’s house.
20Sav se puk veselio i grad se smirio kad su Ataliju ubili mačem u kraljevskom dvoru.
21Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
