Chapter 23

And in 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.

Ora, 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.   

And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

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

And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.

E 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.   

This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;

Isto 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 às entradas;   

And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.

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

But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

Não 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.   

And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.

E 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.   

So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.

Fizeram, 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.   

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

Também 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.   

And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

E 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.   

Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.

Então 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!   

Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:

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

And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

e quando olhou, eis que o rei estava junto à sua coluna, à 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!   

Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.

Nisso 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 à espada. Pois o sacerdote dissera: Não a mateis na casa do Senhor.   

So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

Então 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.   

And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD'S people.

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

Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

Depois 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.   

Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.

E 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.   

And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.

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

And he 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 the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.

E 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.   

And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

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