1 And Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
1 Y ATHALÍA madre de Ochôzías, viendo que su hijo era muerto, levantóse, y destruyó toda la simiente real.
2 And Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of her brother, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Athaliah, and he was not slain.
2 Pero tomando Josaba hija del rey Joram, hermana de Ochôzías, á Joas hijo de Ochôzías, sacólo furtivamente de entre los hijos del rey, que se mataban, y ocultólo de delante de Athalía, á él y á su ama, en la cámara de las camas, y [así] no lo mataron.
3 And he remained with her hidden in the house of the Lord six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
3 Y estuvo con ella escondido en la casa de Jehová seis años: y Athalía fué reina sobre el país.
4 And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Carites and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jehoiada showed them the king’s son.
4 Mas al séptimo año envió Joiada, y tomó centuriones, capitanes, y gente de la guardia, y metiólos consigo en la casa de Jehová: é hizo con ellos liga, juramentándolos en la casa de Jehová; y mostróles al hijo del rey.
5 And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which ye shall do.
5 Y mandóles, diciendo: Esto es lo que habéis de hacer: la tercera parte de vosotros, los que entrarán el sábado, tendrán la guardia de la casa del rey;
6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the Sabbath day, and keep ye the watch of the king’s house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep ye the guard of the house.
6 Y la [otra] tercera parte estará á la puerta del sur, y la [otra] tercera parte á la puerta del postigo de los de la guardia: así guardaréis la casa, para que no sea allanada.
7 And there [shall be] two parties among you, even everyone that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord’s house before the king.
7 Y las dos partes de vosotros, [es á saber], todos los que salen el sábado, tendréis la guarda de la casa de Jehová junto al rey.
8 And do ye compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.
8 Y estaréis alrededor del rey de todas partes, teniendo cada uno sus armas en las manos, y cualquiera que entrare dentro de estos órdenes, sea muerto. Y habéis de estar con el rey cuando saliere, y cuando entrare.
9 And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jehoiada commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the Sabbath day, and those that went out on the Sabbath day, and went in to Jehoiada the priest.
9 Los centuriones pues, hicieron todo como el sacerdote Joiada les mandó: y tomando cada uno los suyos, [es á saber], los que habían de entrar el sábado, y los que habían salido el sábado, viniéronse á Joiada el sacerdote.
10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of King David that were in the house of the Lord.
10 Y el sacerdote dió á los centuriones las picas y los escudos que habían sido del rey David, que estaban en la casa de Jehová.
11 And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.
11 Y los de la guardia se pusieron [en orden], teniendo cada uno sus armas en sus manos, desde el lado derecho de la casa hasta el lado izquierdo, junto al altar y el templo, en derredor del rey.
12 And he brought forth the king’s son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.
12 Sacando luego [Joiada] al hijo del rey, púsole la corona y el testimonio, é hiciéronle rey ungiéndole; y batiendo las manos dijeron: ¡Viva el rey!
13 And Athaliah heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
13 Y oyendo Athalía el estruendo del pueblo que corría, entró al pueblo en el templo de Jehová;
14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
14 Y como miró, he aquí el rey que estaba junto á la columna, conforme á la costumbre, y los príncipes y los trompetas junto al rey; y que todo el pueblo del país hacía alegrías, y que tocaban las trompetas. Entonces Athalía, rasgando sus vestidos, clamó á voz en grito: ¡Traición, traición!
15 And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.
15 Mas el sacerdote Joiada mandó á los centuriones que gobernaban el ejército, y díjoles: Sacadla fuera del recinto del templo, y al que la siguiere, matadlo á cuchillo. (Porque el sacerdote dijo que no la matasen en el templo de Jehová.)
16 And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses’ entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.
16 Diéronle pues lugar, y como iba el camino por donde entran los de á caballo á la casa del rey, allí la mataron.
17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people; also between the king and the people.
17 Entonces Joiada hizo alianza entre Jehová y el rey y el pueblo, que serían pueblo de Jehová: y asimismo entre el rey y el pueblo.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
18 Y todo el pueblo de la tierra entró en el templo de Baal, y derribáronlo: asimismo despedazaron enteramente sus altares y sus imágenes, y mataron á Mathán sacerdote de Baal delante de los altares. Y el sacerdote puso guarnición sobre la casa de Jehová.
19 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Carites, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king’s house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.
19 Después tomó los centuriones, y capitanes, y los de la guardia, y á todo el pueblo de la tierra, y llevaron al rey desde la casa de Jehová, y vinieron por el camino de la puerta de los de la guardia á la casa del rey; y sentóse el [rey] sobre el trono de los reyes.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they slew Athaliah with the sword in the house of the king.
20 Y todo el pueblo de la tierra hizo alegrías, y la ciudad estuvo en reposo, habiendo sido Athalía muerta á cuchillo [junto] á la casa del rey. 21 Era Joas de siete años cuando comenzó á reinar.
