¹In 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.

¹Ora, no sétimo ano Jeoiada, cobrando ânimo, tomou consigo em aliança os capitães de cem, Azarias, filho de Jeroão, Ismael, filho de Jeoanã, Azarias, filho de Obede, Maaséias, filho de Adaías, e Elisafaté, filho de Zicri.

²They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

²Estes percorreram a Judá, ajuntando os levitas de todas as cidades de Judá e os chefes das casas paternas de Israel; e vieram para Jerusalém.

³All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. He said to them, “Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.

³E toda aquela congregação fez aliança com o rei na casa de Deus. E Jeoiada lhes disse: Eis que reinará o filho do rei, como o Senhor falou a respeito dos filhos de Davi.

⁴This is the thing that you shall do. A third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds.

⁴Isto é o que haveis de fazer: uma terça parte de vós, isto é, dos sacerdotes e dos levitas que entram no sábado, servirá de porteiros �s entradas;

⁵A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of Yahweh’s house.

⁵outra terça parte estará junto � casa do rei; e a outra terça parte � porta do Fundamento; e todo o povo estará nos átrios da casa do Senhor.

⁶But let no one come into the house of Yahweh, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Yahweh’s instructions.

⁶Não entre, porém, ninguém na casa da Senhor, senão os sacerdotes e os levitas que ministram; estes entrarão, porque são santos; mas todo o povo guardará a ordenança do Senhor.

⁷The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out.”

⁷E os levitas cercarão o rei de todos os lados, cada um com as suas armas na mão; e qualquer que entrar na casa seja morto; mas acompanhai vós o rei, quando entrar e quando sair.

⁸So the Levites and all Judah 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; for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.

⁸Fizeram, pois, os levitas e todo o Judá conforme tudo o que ordenara e sacerdote Jeoiada; e tomou cada um os seus homens, tanto os que haviam de entrar no sábado como os que haviam de sair, pois o sacerdote Jeoiada não despediu as turmas.

⁹Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.

⁹Também o sacerdote Jeoiada deu aos capitães de cem as lanças, os paveses e os escudos que tinham pertencido ao rei Davi, os quais estavam na casa de Deus.

¹⁰He 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, around the king.

¹⁰E dispôs todo o povo, cada um com as suas armas na mão, desde o lado direito até o lado esquerdo da casa, por entre o altar e a casa, ao redor do rei.

¹¹Then they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, “Long live the king!”

¹¹Então tiraram para fora o filho do rei e, pondo-lhe a coroa e o testemunho, o fizeram rei; e Jeoiada e seus filhos o ungiram, e disseram: Viva o rei!

¹²When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:

¹²Ouvindo, pois, Atalia a voz de povo que corria e louvava ao rei, veio ao povo na casa do Senhor;

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 musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”

¹³e quando olhou, eis que o rei estava junto � sua coluna, � entrada, e os capitães e os trombeteiros perto do rei; e todo o povo da terra se alegrava, e tocava trombetas; e também os cantores tocavam instrumentos musicais, e dirigiam os cânticos de louvor. Então Atalia, rasgando os seus vestidos, clamou: Traição! Traição!

¹⁴Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the Yahweh’s house.”

¹⁴Nisso o sacerdote Jeoiada trouxe para fora os centuriões que estavam sobre o exército e disse-lhes: Trazei-a por entre as fileiras, e o que a seguir seja morto � espada. Pois o sacerdote dissera: Não a mateis na casa do Senhor.

¹⁵So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.

¹⁵Então deitaram as mãos nela; e ela foi até a entrada da porta dos cavalos, que dá para a casa do rei, e ali a mataram.

¹⁶Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.

¹⁶E Jeoiada firmou um pacto entre si e o povo todo e o rei, pelo qual seriam o povo do Senhor.

¹⁷All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

¹⁷Depois todo o povo entrou na casa de Baal, e a derrubaram; quebraram os seus altares e as suas imagens, e a Matã, sacerdote de Baal, mataram diante dos altares.

¹⁸Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Yahweh under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Yahweh, to offer the burnt offerings of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.

¹⁸E Jeoiada dispôs guardas na casa do Senhor, sob a direção dos sacerdotes levíticos a quem Davi designara na casa do Senhor para oferecerem com alegria e com cânticos os holocaustos do Senhor, como está escrito na lei de Moisés, e segundo a ordem de Davi.

¹⁹He set the porters at the gates of the house of Yahweh, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.

¹⁹Colocou porteiros �s portas da casa do Senhor, para que não entrasse nela ninguém imundo no tocante a coisa alguma.

²⁰He 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 Yahweh: and they came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.

²⁰E tomou os centuriões, os nobres, os governadores do povo e todo o povo da terra; e conduziram da casa do Senhor o rei e, passando pela porta superior para a casa do rei, fizeram-no sentar no trono real.

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

²¹Assim todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade ficou em paz, depois que mataram Atalia � espada.
