1 Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada having been strengthened, he took the centurions, namely, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, and also Azariah, the son of Obed, and Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri, and he formed a pact with them.
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 traveling through Judah, they gathered together the Levites from all of the cities of Judah, and the leaders of the families of Israel, and they went 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 Then the entire multitude formed a pact with the king, in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them: “Behold, the son of the king shall reign, just as the Lord has said concerning the sons 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 Therefore, this is the word that you shall do:
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 One third part of you who arrive on the Sabbath, priests, and Levites, and porters, shall be at the gates. Truly, one third part shall be at the house of the king. And one third shall be at the gate which is called the Foundation. Yet truly, let all the remainder of the common people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
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 Let no one else enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests, and those from the Levites who are ministering. These alone may enter, for they have been sanctified. And let all the remainder of the common people observe the watches 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 Then let the Levites encircle the king, each one having his weapons. And if anyone else will have entered into the temple, let him be slain. And may they be with the king, both entering and departing.”
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 Then the Levites, and all of Judah, acted in accord with all that the high priest Jehoiada had instructed. And each of them took the men who were under him, and who were arriving by the course of the Sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the Sabbath and who were about to depart. For indeed the high priest Jehoiada had not permitted the companies to depart, which were accustomed to replace one another each week.
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, the priest, gave to the centurions the lances and round shields and crescent shields of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.
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 positioned all the people, holding short swords, from the right part of the temple to the left part of the temple, before the altar and the temple, all around the king.
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 they led out the son of the king. And they imposed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they gave him the law to hold in his hand. And they appointed him as king. Also, the high priest Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. And they prayed for him, and said, “May the king live!”
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 when Athaliah had heard it, specifically the sound of running and the praising of the king, she entered to the people in the temple 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 when she had seen the king standing upon the step at the entrance, and the leaders and companies around him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets, and playing on instruments of various kinds, and the voice of those who were praising, she tore her garments, and she said: “Treason! Treason!”
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 Then the high priest Jehoiada, going out to the centurions and to the leaders of the army, said to them: “Lead her away, beyond the borders of the temple. And let her be put to death outside, with the sword.” And the priest instructed that she should not be killed 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 And they laid hands on her neck. And when she had entered the gate for the horses at the king’s house, they put her to death 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 Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between himself and the entire people, and the king, so that they would be the people of the Lord.
16 Y Joiada hizo pacto entre sí y todo el pueblo y el rey, que serían pueblo de Jehová.
17 And so, all the people entered into the house of Baal, and they destroyed it. And they broke apart his altars and idols. Also, they put to death Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the 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 Then Jehoiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests and Levites, whom David had distributed to the house of the Lord so that they might offer holocausts to the Lord, just as it was written in the law of Moses, with gladness and singing, in accord with the disposition 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 Also, he appointed porters at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that whoever was unclean for any reason would not enter.
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 centurions, and the most valiant men, and the leaders of the people, and all the common people of the land, and they set out to descend to the king, from the house of the Lord, and to enter through the middle of the upper gate, to the house of the king. And they placed him on the royal throne.
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 were rejoicing, and the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword.
21 Y todo el pueblo del país hizo alegrías: y la ciudad estuvo quieta, muerto que hubieron á Athalía á cuchillo.
