LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και εν τω ετει τω εβδομω εκραταιωσεν ιωδαε και ελαβεν τους εκατονταρχους τον αζαριαν υιον ιωραμ και τον ισμαηλ υιον ιωαναν και τον αζαριαν υιον ωβηδ και τον μαασαιαν υιον αδαια και τον ελισαφαν υιον ζαχαρια μετ' αυτου εις οικον	1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada took courage and entered a conspiracy with certain captains: Azariah, son of Jehoram; Ishmael, son of Jehohanan; Azariah, son of Obed; Masseiah, son of Adaiah; and Elishaphat, son of Zichri.
2 και εκυκλωσαν τον ιουδαν και συνηγαγον τους λευιτας εκ πασων των πολεων ιουδα και αρχοντας πατριων του ισραηλ και ηλθον εις ιερουσαλημ	2 They journeyed about Judah, gathering the Levites from all the cities of Judah and also the heads of the Israelite families. When they had come to Jerusalem,
3 και διεθεντο πασα εκκλησια ιουδα διαθηκην εν οικω του θεου μετα του βασιλεως και εδειξεν αυτοις τον υιον του βασιλεως και ειπεν αυτοις ιδου ο υιος του βασιλεως βασιλευσατω καθως ελαλησεν κυριος επι τον οικον δαυιδ	3 the whole assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. Jehoiada said to them: "Here is the king's son who must reign, as the LORD promised concerning the sons of David.
4 νυν ο λογος ουτος ον ποιησετε το τριτον εξ υμων εισπορευεσθωσαν το σαββατον των ιερεων και των λευιτων και εις τας πυλας των εισοδων	4 This is what you must do: a third of your number, both priests and Levites, who come in on the sabbath must guard the thresholds,
5 και το τριτον εν οικω του βασιλεως και το τριτον εν τη πυλη τη μεση και πας ο λαος εν αυλαις οικου κυριου	5 another third must be at the king's palace, and the final third at the Foundation Gate, when all the people will be in the courts of the LORD'S temple.
6 και μη εισελθετω εις οικον κυριου εαν μη οι ιερεις και οι λευιται και οι λειτουργουντες των λευιτων αυτοι εισελευσονται οτι αγιοι εισιν και πας ο λαος φυλασσετω φυλακας κυριου	6 Let no one enter the LORD'S house except the priests and those Levites who are ministering. They may enter because they are holy; but all the other people must observe the prescriptions of the LORD.
7 και κυκλωσουσιν οι λευιται τον βασιλεα κυκλω ανδρος σκευος εν χειρι αυτου και ο εισπορευομενος εις τον οικον αποθανειται και εσονται μετα του βασιλεως εισπορευομενου και εκπορευομενου	7 The Levites shall surround the king on all sides, each with his weapon drawn. Whoever tries to enter the house must be slain. Stay with the king wherever he goes."
8 και εποιησαν οι λευιται και πας ιουδα κατα παντα οσα ενετειλατο ιωδαε ο ιερευς και ελαβον εκαστος τους ανδρας αυτου απ' αρχης του σαββατου εως εξοδου του σαββατου οτι ου κατελυσεν ιωδαε τας εφημεριας	8 The Levites and all Judah did just as Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each brought his men, those who were to come in on the sabbath as well as those who were to depart on the sabbath, since Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed any of the divisions.
9 και εδωκεν τας μαχαιρας και τους θυρεους και τα οπλα α ην του βασιλεως δαυιδ εν οικω του θεου	9 Jehoiada the priest gave the captains the spears, shields and bucklers of King David which were in the house of God.
10 και εστησεν παντα τον λαον εκαστον εν τοις οπλοις αυτου απο της ωμιας του οικου της δεξιας εως της ωμιας της αριστερας του θυσιαστηριου και του οικου επι τον βασιλεα κυκλω	10 He stationed all the people, each with his spear in hand, from the southern to the northern extremity of the enclosure, around the altar and the temple on the king's behalf.
11 και εξηγαγεν τον υιον του βασιλεως και εδωκεν επ' αυτον το βασιλειον και τα μαρτυρια και εβασιλευσαν και εχρισαν αυτον ιωδαε και οι υιοι αυτου και ειπαν ζητω ο βασιλευς	11 Then they brought out the king's son, set the crown and the insignia upon him, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they cried, "Long live the king!"
12 και ηκουσεν γοθολια την φωνην του λαου των τρεχοντων και εξομολογουμενων και αινουντων τον βασιλεα και εισηλθεν προς τον βασιλεα εις οικον κυριου	12 When Athaliah heard the din of the people running and acclaiming the king, she went to the people in the temple of the LORD.
13 και ειδεν και ιδου ο βασιλευς επι της στασεως αυτου και επι της εισοδου οι αρχοντες και αι σαλπιγγες περι τον βασιλεα και πας ο λαος ηυφρανθη και εσαλπισαν εν ταις σαλπιγξιν και οι αδοντες εν τοις οργανοις ωδοι και υμνουντες αινον και διερρηξεν γοθολια την στολην αυτης και εβοησεν και ειπεν επιτιθεμενοι επιτιθεσθε	13 She looked, and there was the king standing beside his pillar at the entrance, the officers and the trumpeters around him, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets, while the singers with their musical instruments were leading the acclaim. Athaliah tore her garments and cried out, "Treason! treason!"
14 και εξηλθεν ιωδαε ο ιερευς και ενετειλατο ιωδαε ο ιερευς τοις εκατονταρχοις και τοις αρχηγοις της δυναμεως και ειπεν αυτοις εκβαλετε αυτην εκτος του οικου και εισελθατε οπισω αυτης και αποθανετω μαχαιρα οτι ειπεν ο ιερευς μη αποθανετω εν οικω κυριου	14 Then Jehoiada the priest sent out the captains who were in command of the army; he said to them: "Take her outside through the ranks, and if anyone tries to follow her, let him die by the sword. For," the priest continued, "you must not put her to death in the LORD'S temple."
15 και εδωκαν αυτη ανεσιν και διηλθεν δια της πυλης των ιππεων του οικου του βασιλεως και εθανατωσαν αυτην εκει	15 So they seized her, and when she arrived at the entrance to the Horse Gate of the palace, they put her to death there.
16 και διεθετο ιωδαε διαθηκην ανα μεσον αυτου και του λαου και του βασιλεως ειναι λαον τω κυριω	16 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they should be the LORD'S people.
17 και εισηλθεν πας ο λαος της γης εις οικον βααλ και κατεσπασαν αυτον και τα θυσιαστηρια και τα ειδωλα αυτου ελεπτυναν και τον ματθαν ιερεα της βααλ εθανατωσαν εναντιον των θυσιαστηριων αυτου	17 And all the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed its altars and images, and they slew Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars.
18 και ενεχειρησεν ιωδαε ο ιερευς τα εργα οικου κυριου δια χειρος ιερεων και λευιτων και ανεστησεν τας εφημεριας των ιερεων και των λευιτων ας διεστειλεν δαυιδ επι τον οικον κυριου και ανενεγκαι ολοκαυτωματα κυριω καθως γεγραπται εν νομω μωυση εν ευφροσυνη και εν ωδαις δια χειρος δαυιδ	18 Then Jehoiada gave the charge of the LORD'S temple into the hands of the levitical priests, to whom David had assigned turns in the temple for offering the holocausts of the LORD, as is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and song, as David had provided.
19 και εστησαν οι πυλωροι επι τας πυλας οικου κυριου και ουκ εισελευσεται ακαθαρτος εις παν πραγμα	19 Moreover, he stationed guards at the gates of the LORD'S temple so that no one unclean in any respect might enter.
20 και ελαβεν τους πατριαρχας και τους δυνατους και τους αρχοντας του λαου και παντα τον λαον της γης και ανεβιβασαν τον βασιλεα εις οικον κυριου και εισηλθεν δια της πυλης της εσωτερας εις τον οικον του βασιλεως και εκαθισαν τον βασιλεα επι τον θρονον της βασιλειας	20 Then he took the captains, the nobles, the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and led the king out of the LORD'S house. When they had come within the upper gate of the king's house, they seated the king upon the royal throne.
21 και ηυφρανθη πας ο λαος της γης και η πολις ησυχασεν και την γοθολιαν εθανατωσαν μαχαιρα	21 All the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet, now that Athaliah had been put to death by the sword.
