1 And in the eighth 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, with him into the house of the Lord.
1 MAS el séptimo año se animó Joiada, y tomó consigo en alianza á los centuriones, Azarías hijo de Jeroam, y á Ismael hijo de Johanán, y á Azarías hijo de Obed, y á Maasías hijo de Adaías, y á Elisaphat hijo de Zichri;
2 And they went round about Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
2 Los cuales rodeando por Judá, juntaron los Levitas de todas las ciudades de Judá, y á los príncipes de las familias de Israel, y vinieron á Jerusalem.
3 And all the congregation of Judah made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he showed them the king’s son, and said to them, Lo, let the king’s son reign, as the Lord said concerning the house of David.
3 Y toda la multitud hizo alianza con el rey en la casa de Dios. Y él les dijo: He aquí el hijo del rey, el cual reinará, como Jehová lo tiene dicho de los hijos de David.
4 Now this [is] the thing which ye shall do. Let a third part of you, [even] of the priests and of the Levites, enter in on the Sabbath, even into the gates of the entrances;
4 Lo que habéis de hacer es: la tercera parte de vosotros, los que entran de semana, estarán de porteros con los sacerdotes y los Levitas;
5 and let a third part be in the house of the king; and another third at the middle gate: and all the people in the courts of the Lord’s house.
5 Y la tercera parte, á la casa del rey; y la tercera parte, á la puerta del fundamento: y todo el pueblo estará en los patios de la casa de Jehová.
6 And let not [anyone] enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests and the Levites, and the servants of the Levites; they shall enter in, because they are holy: and let all the people keep the watch of the Lord.
6 Y ninguno entre en la casa de Jehová, sino los sacerdotes y Levitas que sirven: éstos entrarán, porque están consagrados; y todo el pueblo hará la guardia de Jehová.
7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man’s weapon in his hand; and whoever [else] goes into the house shall die: but they shall be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.
7 Y los Levitas rodearán al rey por todas partes, y cada uno tendrá sus armas en la mano; y cualquiera que entrare en la casa, muera: y estaréis con el rey cuando entrare, y cuando saliere.
8 And the Levites and all Judah did according to all that the priest Jehoiada commanded them, and they took each his men from the beginning of the Sabbath to the end of the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss the courses.
8 Y los Levitas y todo Judá lo hicieron todo como lo había mandado el sacerdote Joiada: y tomó cada uno los suyos, los que entraban de semana, y los que salían el sábado: porque el sacerdote Joiada no dió licencia á las compañías.
9 And Jehoiada gave to the men the swords, and the shields, and the arms, which [had] belonged to King David, in the house of God.
9 Dió también el sacerdote Joiada á los centuriones las lanzas, paveses y escudos que habían sido del rey David, que estaban en la casa de Dios;
10 And he set the whole people, every man with his arms, from the right side of the house to the left side of the altar and the house, over against the king round about.
10 Y puso en orden á todo el pueblo, teniendo cada uno su espada en la mano, desde el rincón derecho del templo hasta el izquierdo, hacia el altar y la casa, en derredor del rey por todas partes.
11 And he brought out the king’s son, and put on him the crown and the testimony, and Jehoiada the priest and his sons proclaimed him king, and anointed him, and said, Long live the king!
11 Entonces sacaron al hijo del rey, y pusiéronle la corona y el testimonio, é hiciéronle rey; y Joiada y sus hijos le ungieron, diciendo luego: ¡Viva el rey!
12 And Athaliah heard the sound of the people running, and acknowledging and praising the king: and she went in to the king into the house of the Lord.
12 Y como Athalía oyó el estruendo de la gente que corría, y de los que bendecían al rey, vino al pueblo á la casa de Jehová;
13 And she looked, and, behold, the king [stood] in his place, and the princes and trumpets were at the entrance, and the princes were round the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded the trumpets, and there were the singers singing with instruments, and singing hymns of praise. And Athaliah rent her robe, and cried, Ye surely are plotting against [me].
13 Y mirando, vió al rey que estaba junto á su columna á la entrada, y los príncipes y los trompetas junto al rey, y que todo el pueblo de la tierra hacía alegrías, y sonaban bocinas, y cantaban con instrumentos de música los que sabían alabar. Entonces Athalía rasgó sus vestidos, y dijo: ¡Conjuración, conjuración!
14 And Jehoiada the priest went forth, and Jehoiada the priest charged the captains of hundreds, even the captains of the host, and said to them, Thrust her forth outside the house, and follow her, and let her be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.
14 Y sacando el pontífice Joiada los centuriones y capitanes del ejército, díjoles: Sacadla fuera del recinto; y el que la siguiere, muera á cuchillo: porque el sacerdote había mandado que no la matasen en la casa de Jehová.
15 So they let her go [out]; and she went through the horsemen’s gate of the house of the king, and they slew her there.
15 Ellos pues le echaron mano, y luego que hubo ella pasado la entrada de la puerta de los caballos de la casa del rey, allí la mataron.
16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and the people, and the king, that the people should be the Lord’s.
16 Y Joiada hizo pacto entre sí y todo el pueblo y el rey, que serían pueblo de Jehová.
17 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore down it and its altars, and they ground his images to powder, and they slew Matthan the priest of Baal before his altars.
17 Después de esto entró todo el pueblo en el templo de Baal, y derribáronlo, y también sus altares; é hicieron pedazos sus imágenes, y mataron delante de los altares á Mathán, sacerdote de Baal.
18 And Jehoiada the priest committed the works of the house of the Lord into the hand of the priests and Levites, and he re-established the courses of the priests and Levites which David appointed over the house of the Lord, and [he appointed them] to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with gladness, and with songs by the hand of David.
18 Luego ordenó Joiada los oficios en la casa de Jehová bajo la mano de los sacerdotes y Levitas, según David los había distribuído en la casa de Jehová, para ofrecer á Jehová los holocaustos, como está escrito en la ley de Moisés, con gozo y cantares, conforme á la ordenación de David.
19 And the porters stood at the gates of the house of the Lord, that no one unclean in any respect should enter in.
19 Puso también porteros á las puertas de la casa de Jehová, para que por ninguna vía entrase ningún inmundo.
20 And he took the heads of families, and the mighty men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they conducted the king into the house of the Lord; and he went through the inner gate into the king’s house, and they seated the king on the throne of the kingdom.
20 Tomó después los centuriones, y los principales, y los que gobernaban el pueblo; y á todo el pueblo de la tierra, y llevó al rey de la casa de Jehová; y viniendo hasta el medio de la puerta mayor de la casa del rey, sentaron al rey sobre el trono del reino.
21 And all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet: and they slew Athaliah.
21 Y todo el pueblo del país hizo alegrías: y la ciudad estuvo quieta, muerto que hubieron á Athalía á cuchillo.
