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

¹Vendo pois Atalia, mãe de Acazias, que seu filho era morto, levantou-se, e destruiu toda a descendência real.

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;

²Mas Jeoseba, filha do rei Jorão, irmã de Acazias, tomou a Joás, filho de Acazias, furtando-o dentre os filhos do rei, aos quais matavam na recâmara, e o escondeu de Ataliá, a ele e � sua ama, de sorte que não o mataram.

³He was with her hidden in the house of Yahweh six years. Athaliah reigned over the land.

³E esteve com ela escondido na casa do Senhor seis anos; e Atalia reinava sobre o país.

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.

⁴No sétimo ano, porém, Jeoiada mandou chamar os centuriões dos caritas e os oficiais da guarda, e fê-los entrar consigo na casa do Senhor; e fez com eles um pacto e, ajuramentando-os na casa do Senhor, mostrou-lhes o filho do rei.

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;

⁵Então lhes ordenou, dizendo: Eis aqui o que haveis de fazer: uma terça parte de vós, os que entrais no sábado, fará a guarda da casa do rei;

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.

⁶outra terça parte estará � porta Sur; e a outra terça parte � porta detrás dos da guarda. Assim fareis a guarda desta casa, afastando a todos.

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.

⁷As duas companhias, a saber, todos os que saem no sábado, farão a guarda da casa do Senhor junto ao rei;

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.”

⁸e rodeareis o rei, cada um com as suas armas na mão, e aquele que entrar dentro das fileiras, seja morto; e estai vós com o rei quando sair e quando entrar.

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.

⁹Fizeram, pois, os centuriões conforme tudo quanto ordenara o sacerdote Jeoiada; e tomando cada um os seus homens, tanto os que entravam no sábado como os que saíam no sábado, vieram ter com o sacerdote Jeoiada.

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.

¹⁰O sacerdote entregou aos centuriões as lanças e os escudos que haviam sido do rei Davi, e que estavam na casa do Senhor.

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.

¹¹E os da guarda, cada um com as armas na mão, se puseram em volta do rei, desde o lado direito da casa até o lado esquerdo, ao longo do altar e da casa.

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!”

¹²Então Jeoiada lhes apresentou o filho do rei, pôs-lhe a coroa, e lhe deu o testemunho; e o fizeram rei e o ungiram e, batendo palmas, clamaram: Viva o rei!

¹³When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:

¹³Quando Atalia ouviu o vozerio da guarda e do povo, foi ter com o povo na casa do Senhor;

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!”

¹⁴e olhou, e eis que o rei estava junto � coluna, conforme o costume, e os capitães e os trombeteiros junto ao rei; e todo o povo da terra se alegrava e tocava trombetas. Então Atalia rasgou os seus vestidos, e clamou: Traição! Traição!

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.”

¹⁵Então Jeoiada, o sacerdote, deu ordem aos centuriões que comandavam as tropas, dizendo-lhes: Tirai-a para fora por entre as fileiras, e a quem a seguir matai-o � espada. Pois o sacerdote dissera: Não seja ela morta na casa do Senhor.

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.

¹⁶E lançaram-lhe as mãos e ela foi pelo caminho da entrada dos cavalos � casa do rei, e ali a mataram.

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.

¹⁷Ora, Jeoiada firmou um pacto entre o Senhor e o rei e o povo, pelo qual este seria o povo do Senhor; como também firmou pacto entre o rei e o povo.

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.

¹⁸Então todo o povo da terra entrou na casa de Baal, e a derrubaram; como também os seus altares, e as suas imagens, totalmente quebraram; e a Matã, sacerdote de Baal, mataram diante dos altares. Também o sacerdote pôs vigias sobre a casa do Senhor.

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.

¹⁹E tomou os centuriões, os caritas, a guarda, e todo o povo da terra; e conduziram da casa do Senhor o rei, e foram pelo caminho da porta da guarda, � casa do rei; e ele se assentou no trono dos reis.

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.

²⁰E todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade ficou em paz, depois que mataram Atalia � espada junto � casa do rei.

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

²¹Joás tinha sete anos quando começou a reinar.
