1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada showed his strength and entered into a covenant with the commanders of hundreds, Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.
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;
1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him.
2 They went about in Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, as well as the heads of the ancestral houses 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.
2 They went around 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.
3 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. Jehoiada said to them, “See, the king's son will reign, as Yahweh has said concerning the descendants 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.
3 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.
4 This is what you must do: A third of you priests and Levites who come to serve on the Sabbath will be guards at the doors.
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;
4 This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
5 Another third will be at the king's house, and the other third will be at the Foundation Gate. All the people will be in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh.
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.
5 A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of Yahweh’s house.
6 Allow no one to come into the house of Yahweh, except for the priests and the Levites who are serving. They may enter because they are consecrated. But all the other people must obey the commands of Yahweh.
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.
6 But 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.
7 The Levites must surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be killed. Stay with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
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.
7 The 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.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah served in every way in the manner in which Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one took his men, those who were to come in to serve on the Sabbath, and those who were to leave off serving on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed any of their divisions.
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.
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took 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.
9 Then Jehoiada the priest brought to the commanders spears and small and large shields that had been King David's that were 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;
9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
10 Jehoiada placed all the soldiers, each man with 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, surrounding 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.
10 He 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, near the altar and the house, around the king.
11 Then they brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant decrees. Then they made him king, and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. Then they 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!
11 Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people in the house of Yahweh,
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;
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house.
13 and she looked, and, behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the commanders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and the singers were playing musical instruments and leading the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “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!
13 Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. 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!”
14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of hundreds who were over the army and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; anyone who follows her, let him be killed with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not kill her in the house of Yahweh.”
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.
14 Jehoiada 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 Yahweh’s house.”
15 So they seized her as she went into the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's house, and there they killed her.
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.
15 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
16 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh's people.
16 Y Joiada hizo pacto entre sí y todo el pueblo y el rey, que serían pueblo de Jehová.
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.
17 So all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal's altars and his images to pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those 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.
17 All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 Jehoiada appointed officers for the house of Yahweh under the hand of the priests, who were Levites, whom David had assigned to the house of Yahweh, to offer the burnt offerings to Yahweh, as it was written in the law of Moses, together with rejoicing and singing, as David had given direction.
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.
18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of Yahweh’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, 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, as David had ordered.
19 Jehoiada set guards at the gates of the house of Yahweh, so that no one that was unclean in any way should enter.
19 Puso también porteros á las puertas de la casa de Jehová, para que por ninguna vía entrase ningún inmundo.
19 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of Yahweh’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
20 Jehoiada took with him the commanders of hundreds, the noblemen, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land. He brought down the king from the house of Yahweh; the people came through the Upper Gate to the king's house and sat 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.
20 He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from Yahweh’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. As for Athaliah, they had killed her with the sword.
21 Y todo el pueblo del país hizo alegrías: y la ciudad estuvo quieta, muerto que hubieron á Athalía á cuchillo.
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
