역대하 23

1제칠년에 여호야다가 세력을 내어 백부장 곧 여로함의 아들 아사랴와 여호하난의 아들 이스마엘과 오벳의 아들 아사랴와 아다야의 아들 마아세야와 시그리의 아들 엘리사밧 등으로 더불어 언약을 세우매 2저희가 유다로 두루 다니며 유다 모든 고을로서 레위 사람과 이스라엘 족장들을 모아 예루살렘에 이른지라 3온 회중이 하나님의 전에서 왕과 언약을 세우매 여호야다가 무리에게 이르되 여호와께서 다윗의 자손에게 대하여 말씀하신 대로 왕자가 즉위하여야 할지니 4이제 너희는 이와 같이 행하라 너희 제사장과 레위 사람 곧 안식일에 입번한 자의 삼분 일은 문을 지키고 5삼분 일은 왕궁에 있고 삼분 일은 기초문에 있고 백성들은 여호와의 전 뜰에 있을지라 6제사장과 수종드는 레위 사람은 거룩한즉 여호와의 전에 들어오려니와 그 외의 다른 사람은 들어오지 못할 것이니 모든 백성은 여호와의 명하신 바를 지킬지며 7레위 사람은 각각 손에 병기를 잡고 왕을 호위하며 다른 사람이 전에 들어오거든 죽이고 왕의 출입할 때에 시위할지니라 8레위 사람과 유다 무리가 제사장 여호야다의 모든 명한 바를 준행하여 각기 수하의 안식일에 입번할 자와 안식일에 출번할 자를 거느리고 있으니 이는 제사장 여호야다가 출번하는 자를 보내지 아니함이더라 9제사장 여호야다가 하나님의 전 안에 있는 다윗 왕의 창과 큰 방패와 작은 방패를 백부장들에게 주고 10또 백성들로 각각 손에 병기를 잡고 왕을 호위하되 전 우편에서 부터 전 좌편까지 단과 전 곁에 서게 하고 11무리가 왕자를 인도하여 내어 면류관을 씌우며 율법 책을 주고 세워 왕을 삼을새 여호야댜와 그 아들들이 저에게 기름을 붓고 모두 왕의 만세를 부르니라 12아달랴가 백성들이 분주하며 왕을 찬송하는 소리를 듣고 여호와의 전에 들어가서 백성에게 이르러 13보매 왕이 전 문 기둥 곁에 섰고 장관들과 나팔수가 왕의 곁에 모셨으며 국민들이 즐거워하여 나팔을 불며 노래하는 자는 주악하며 찬송을 인도하는지라 이에 아달랴가 옷을 찢으며 외치되 반역이로다 반역이로다 하매 14제사장 여호야다가 군대를 거느린 백부장들을 불러내어 명하여 가로되 반렬 밖으로 몰아내라 무릇 저를 따르는 자는 칼로 죽이라 하니 제사장의 이 말은 여호와의 전에서는 저를 죽이지 말라 함이라 15이에 무리가 길을 열어 주고 저가 왕궁 마문 어귀에 이를 때에 거기서 죽였더라 16여호야다가 자기와 뭇 백성과 왕의 사이에 언약을 세워 여호와의 백성이 되리라 한지라 17온 국민이 바알의 당으로 가서 그 당을 훼파하고 그 단들과 우상들을 깨뜨리고 그 단 앞에서 바알의 제사장 맛단을 죽이니라 18여호야다가 여호와의 전의 직원을 세워 제사장 레위 사람의 수하에 맡기니 이들은 다윗이 전에 그 반차를 나누어서 여호와의 전에서 모세의 율법에 기록한 대로 여호와께 번제를 드리며 자기의 정한 규례대로 즐거이 부르고 노래하게 하였던 자더라 19또 문지기를 여호와의 전 여러 문에 두어 무릇 아무 일에든지 부정한 자는 들어오지 못하게 하고 20백부장들과 존귀한 자들과 백성의 방백들과 온 국민을 거느리고 왕을 인도하여 여호와의 전에서 내려와서 윗문으로 좇아 왕궁에 이르러 왕을 나라 보좌에 앉히매 21온 국민이 즐거워하고 성중이 평온하더라 아달랴를 무리가 칼로 죽였었더라

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 6But let no one come into Yahweh’s house, 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. 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.” 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. 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. 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. 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!” 12When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house: 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!” 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.” 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. 16Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people. 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. 18Jehoiada appointed the officers of Yahweh’s house under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in Yahweh’s house, 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. 19He set the porters at the gates of Yahweh’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in. 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 Yahweh’s house: and they came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom. 21So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword.

1Doch in het zevende jaar versterkte zich Jojada, en nam de oversten der honderden, Azarja, den zoon van Jeroham en Ismael, den zoon van Johanan, en Azarja, den zoon van Obed, en Maaseja, den zoon van Adaja en Elisafat, den zoon van Zichri, met zich in een verbond. 2Die togen om in Juda, en vergaderden de Levieten uit alle steden van Juda, en de hoofden der vaderen van Israel, en zij kwamen naar Jeruzalem. 3En die ganse gemeente maakte een verbond in het huis Gods, met den koning; en hij zeide tot hen: Ziet, de zoon des konings zal koning zijn, gelijk als de HEERE van de zonen van David gesproken heeft. 4Dit is de zaak, die gij doen zult: een derde deel van u, die op den sabbat ingaan, van de priesteren en van de Levieten, zullen tot poortiers der dorpelen zijn; 5En een derde deel zal zijn aan het huis des konings; en een derde deel aan de Fondamentpoort; en al het volk zal in de voorhoven zijn van het huis des HEEREN. 6Maar dat niemand kome in het huis des HEEREN, dan de priesteren en de Levieten, die dienen; die zullen ingaan, want zij zijn heilig; maar al het volk zal de wacht des HEEREN waarnemen. 7De Levieten nu zullen de koning rondom omsingelen, een ieder met zijn wapenen in zijn hand; en die tot het huis inkomt, zal gedood worden; doch weest gijlieden bij den koning, als hij inkomt en uitgaat. 8En de Levieten en gans Juda deden naar alles, wat de priester Jojada geboden had; en zij namen een ieder zijn mannen, die op den sabbat inkwamen, met degenen, die op den sabbat uitgingen; want de priester Jojada had aan de verdelingen geen verlof gegeven. 9Verder gaf de priester Jojada aan de oversten der honderden de spiesen, en de rondassen, en de schilden, die van den koning David geweest waren, die in het huis Gods waren. 10En hij stelde al het volk, en een ieder met zijn geweer in zijn hand, van de rechterzijde van het huis tot de linkerzijde van het huis, naar het altaar, en naar het huis, bij den koning rondom. 11Toen brachten zij des Konings zoon voor, en zetten hem de kroon op, en gaven hem de getuigenis, en zij maakten hem koning; en Jojada en zijn zonen zalfden hem, en zeiden: De koning leve! 12Toen nu Athalia hoorde de stem des volks, dat toeliep en den koning roemde, kwam zij tot het volk in het huis des HEEREN. 13En zij zag toe; en ziet, de koning stond bij zijn pilaar, aan de ingang; en de oversten en de trompetten waren bij den koning; en al het volk des lands was blijde, en blies met de trompetten; en de zangers waren er met muzikale instrumenten, en gaven te kennen, dat men lofzingen zou; toen verscheurde Athalia haar klederen, en zij riep: Verraad, verraad! 14Maar de priester Jojada bracht de oversten der honderden, die over het heir gesteld waren, uit, en zeide tot hen: Brengt ze uit tot buiten de ordeningen, en die haar volgt, zal met het zwaard gedood worden; want de priester had gezegd: Gij zult ze in het huis des HEEREN niet doden. 15En zij legden de handen aan haar, en zij ging naar den ingang van de Paardenpoort, naar het huis des konings; en zij doodden ze daar. 16En Jojada maakte een verbond tussen zich, en tussen al het volk, en tussen den koning, dat zij den HEERE tot een volk zouden zijn. 17Daarna ging al het volk in het huis van Baal, en braken dat af; en zijn altaren en zijn beelden verbraken zij, en Matthan, den priester van Baal, sloegen zij dood voor de altaren. 18Jojada nu bestelde de ambten in het huis des HEEREN, onder de hand der Levietische priesteren, die David in het huis des HEEREN afgedeeld had, om de brandofferen des HEEREN te offeren, gelijk in de wet van Mozes geschreven is, met blijdschap en met gezang, naar de instelling van David. 19En hij stelde de poortiers aan de poorten van het huis des HEEREN, opdat niemand, in enig ding onrein zijnde, inkwame. 20En hij nam de oversten der honderden, en de machtigen, en die heerschappij hadden onder het volk, en al het volk des lands, en bracht den koning van het huis des HEEREN af, en zij kwamen door het midden der hoge poort in het huis des konings; en zij zetten den koning op den troon des koninkrijks. 21En al het volk des lands was blijde, en de stad werd stil, nadat zij Athalia met het zwaard gedood hadden.
