2 Men Kong Jorams Datter Josjeba, Ahazjas Søster, tog Ahazjas Søn Joas og fik ham hemmeligt af Vejen, så han ikke var imellem Kongesønnerne, der blev dræbt, og hun gemte ham og hans, Amme i Sengekammeret og holdt ham skjult for Atalja, så han ikke blev dræbt;
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king’s sons who were being put to death, and placed him and his nurse in the bedroom. So they hid him from Athaliah, and he was not put to death.
4 Men i det syvende År lod Jojada Hundredførerne for Harernel og Livvagten hente ind til sig i HERRENs Hus; og efter at have sluttet Pagt med dem og taget dem i Ed i HERRENs Hus fremstillede han Kongesønnen for dem.
4 Now in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him in the house of the Lord. Then he made a covenant with them and put them under oath in the house of the Lord, and showed them the king’s son.
8 I skal alle med Våben i Hånd slutte Kreds om Kongen, og enhver, der nærmer sig Rækkerne, skal dræbes. Således skal I være om Kongen, når han går ud, og når han går ind!"
8 Then you shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes within the ranks shall be put to death. And be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.”
9 Hundredførerne gjorde alt hvad Præsten Jojada havde påbudt, idet de tog hver sine Folk, både dem, der rykkede ud, og dem, der ryk kede ind om Sabbaten, og kom til Præsten Jojada.
9 So the captains of hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each one of them took his men who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who were to go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
11 Livvagten stillede sig, alle med Våben i Hånd, fra Templets Syd side til Nordsiden, hen til Alteret og derfra igen hen til Templet, rundt om Kongen.
11 The guards stood each with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, by the altar and by the house, around the king.
12 Så førte han Kongesønnen ud og satte Kronen og Armspangene på ham; derefter udråbte de ham til Konge og salvede ham; og de klappede i Hænderne og råbte: "Kongen leve!"
12 Then he brought the king’s son out 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!”
14 og der så hun Kongen stå ved Søjlen, som Skik var, og Øversterne og Trompetblæserne ved Siden af, medens alt Folket fra Landet jublede og blæste i Trompeterne. Da sønderrev Atalja sine Klæder og råbte: "Forræderi, Forræderi!"
14 She looked and behold, the king was standing by the pillar, according to the custom, with the captains and the trumpeters beside the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
15 Men præsten Jojada bød Hundredførerne, Hærens Befalingsmænd: "Før hende uden for Forgårdene og hug enhver ned, der følger hende!" Præsten sagde nemlig: "Hun skal ikke dræbes i HERRENs Hus!"
15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were appointed over the army and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks, and whoever follows her put to death with the sword.” For the priest said, “Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.”
18 Og alt Folket fra Landet begav sig til Ba'als Hus og nedbrød det; Altrene og Billederne ødelagde de i Bund og Grund, og Ba'als Præst Mattan dræbte de foran Altrene. Derpå satte Præsten Vagtposter ved HERRENs Hus;
18 All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and tore it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord.
19 og han tog Hundredførerne, Karerne og Livvagten, desuden alt Folket fra Landet med sig, og de førte Kongen ned fra HERRENs Hus. gik igennem Livvagtens Port til Kongens Palads, og han satte sig på Kongetronen.
19 He took the captains of hundreds and the Carites and the guards and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the Lord, and came by the way of the gate of the guards to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
