1 και γοθολια η μητηρ οχοζιου ειδεν οτι απεθανον οι υιοι αυτης και απωλεσεν παν το σπερμα της βασιλειας1 Truly, Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, seeing that her son was dead, rose up and put to death all the royal offspring.
2 και ελαβεν ιωσαβεε θυγατηρ του βασιλεως ιωραμ αδελφη οχοζιου τον ιωας υιον αδελφου αυτης και εκλεψεν αυτον εκ μεσου των υιων του βασιλεως των θανατουμενων αυτον και την τροφον αυτου εν τω ταμιειω των κλινων και εκρυψεν αυτον απο προσωπου γοθολιας και ουκ εθανατωθη2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, taking Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, stole him away from the midst of the sons of the king who were being killed, out of the bedroom, with his nurse. And she hid him from the face of Athaliah, so that he would not be killed.
3 και ην μετ' αυτης εν οικω κυριου κρυβομενος εξ ετη και γοθολια βασιλευουσα επι της γης3 And he was with her for six years, hidden in the house of the Lord. But Athaliah reigned over the land.
4 και εν τω ετει τω εβδομω απεστειλεν ιωδαε ο ιερευς και ελαβεν τους εκατονταρχους τον χορρι και τον ρασιμ και απηγαγεν αυτους προς αυτον εις οικον κυριου και διεθετο αυτοις διαθηκην κυριου και ωρκισεν αυτους ενωπιον κυριου και εδειξεν αυτοις ιωδαε τον υιον του βασιλεως4 Then, in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for and took centurions and soldiers, and he brought them to himself in the temple of the Lord. And he formed a pact with them. And taking an oath with them in the house of the Lord, he revealed to them the son of the king.
5 και ενετειλατο αυτοις λεγων ουτος ο λογος ον ποιησετε το τριτον εξ υμων εισελθετω το σαββατον και φυλαξετε φυλακην οικου του βασιλεως εν τω πυλωνι5 And he commanded them, saying: “This is the word that you must do.
6 και το τριτον εν τη πυλη των οδων και το τριτον της πυλης οπισω των παρατρεχοντων και φυλαξετε την φυλακην του οικου6 Let one third part of you enter on the Sabbath, and keep watch on the house of the king. And let one third part be at the gate of Sur. And let one third part be at the gate behind the dwelling place of the shield bearers. And you shall keep the watch on the house of Mesha.
7 και δυο χειρες εν υμιν πας ο εκπορευομενος το σαββατον και φυλαξουσιν την φυλακην οικου κυριου προς τον βασιλεα7 Yet truly, let two parts of you, all who depart on the Sabbath, keep watch over the house of the Lord concerning the king.
8 και κυκλωσατε επι τον βασιλεα κυκλω ανηρ και το σκευος αυτου εν χειρι αυτου και ο εισπορευομενος εις τα σαδηρωθ αποθανειται και εγενετο μετα του βασιλεως εν τω εκπορευεσθαι αυτον και εν τω εισπορευεσθαι αυτον8 And you shall surround him, having weapons in your hands. But if anyone will have entered the precinct of the temple, let him be killed. And you shall be with the king, entering and departing.”
9 και εποιησαν οι εκατονταρχοι παντα οσα ενετειλατο ιωδαε ο συνετος και ελαβεν ανηρ τους ανδρας αυτου τους εισπορευομενους το σαββατον μετα των εκπορευομενων το σαββατον και εισηλθεν προς ιωδαε τον ιερεα9 And the centurions acted in accord with all the things that Jehoiada, the priest, had instructed them. And taking each one of their men who would enter on the Sabbath, with those who would depart on the Sabbath, they went to Jehoiada, the priest.
10 και εδωκεν ο ιερευς τοις εκατονταρχαις τους σειρομαστας και τους τρισσους του βασιλεως δαυιδ τους εν οικω κυριου10 And he gave to them the spears and weapons of king David, which were in the house of the Lord.
11 και εστησαν οι παρατρεχοντες ανηρ και το σκευος αυτου εν τη χειρι αυτου απο της ωμιας του οικου της δεξιας εως της ωμιας του οικου της ευωνυμου του θυσιαστηριου και του οικου επι τον βασιλεα κυκλω11 And they stood, each one having his weapons in his hand, before the right side of the temple, all the way to the left side of the altar and of the shrine, surrounding the king.
12 και εξαπεστειλεν τον υιον του βασιλεως και εδωκεν επ' αυτον το νεζερ και το μαρτυριον και εβασιλευσεν αυτον και εχρισεν αυτον και εκροτησαν τη χειρι και ειπαν ζητω ο βασιλευς12 And he led forth the son of the king. And he placed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they made him king, and they anointed him. And clapping their hands, they said: “The king lives!”
13 και ηκουσεν γοθολια την φωνην των τρεχοντων του λαου και εισηλθεν προς τον λαον εις οικον κυριου13 Then Athaliah heard the sound of the people running. And entering to the crowd at the temple of the Lord,
14 και ειδεν και ιδου ο βασιλευς ειστηκει επι του στυλου κατα το κριμα και οι ωδοι και αι σαλπιγγες προς τον βασιλεα και πας ο λαος της γης χαιρων και σαλπιζων εν σαλπιγξιν και διερρηξεν γοθολια τα ιματια εαυτης και εβοησεν συνδεσμος συνδεσμος14 she saw the king standing upon a tribunal, according to custom, and the singers and trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing and sounding the trumpets. And she tore her garments, and she cried out: “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”
15 και ενετειλατο ιωδαε ο ιερευς τοις εκατονταρχαις τοις επισκοποις της δυναμεως και ειπεν προς αυτους εξαγαγετε αυτην εσωθεν των σαδηρωθ και ο εισπορευομενος οπισω αυτης θανατω θανατωθησεται ρομφαια οτι ειπεν ο ιερευς και μη αποθανη εν οικω κυριου15 But Jehoiada gave orders to the centurions who were over the army, and he said to them: “Lead her away, beyond the precinct of the temple. And whoever will have followed her, let him be struck with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not allow her to be killed in the temple of the Lord.”
16 και επεθηκαν αυτη χειρας και εισηλθεν οδον εισοδου των ιππων οικου του βασιλεως και απεθανεν εκει16 And they laid hands on her. And they pushed her through the way by which horses enter, beside the palace. And she was killed there.
17 και διεθετο ιωδαε διαθηκην ανα μεσον κυριου και ανα μεσον του βασιλεως και ανα μεσον του λαου του ειναι εις λαον τω κυριω και ανα μεσον του βασιλεως και ανα μεσον του λαου17 Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between the Lord, and the king and the people, so that they would be the people of the Lord; and between the king and the people.
18 και εισηλθεν πας ο λαος της γης εις οικον του βααλ και κατεσπασαν αυτον και τα θυσιαστηρια αυτου και τας εικονας αυτου συνετριψαν αγαθως και τον ματθαν τον ιερεα του βααλ απεκτειναν κατα προσωπον των θυσιαστηριων και εθηκεν ο ιερευς επισκοπους εις τον οικον κυριου18 And all the people of the land entered the temple of Baal, and they tore down his altars, and they thoroughly crushed the statues. Also, they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altar. And the priest placed guards in the house of the Lord.
19 και ελαβεν τους εκατονταρχους και τον χορρι και τον ρασιμ και παντα τον λαον της γης και κατηγαγον τον βασιλεα εξ οικου κυριου και εισηλθεν οδον πυλης των παρατρεχοντων οικου του βασιλεως και εκαθισαν αυτον επι του θρονου των βασιλεων19 And he took the centurions, and the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites, and all the people of the land, and together they led the king from the house of the Lord. And they went by way of the gate of the shield bearers into the palace. And he sat upon the throne of the kings.
20 και εχαρη πας ο λαος της γης και η πολις ησυχασεν και την γοθολιαν εθανατωσαν εν ρομφαια εν οικω του βασιλεως20 And all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword at the house of the king.
21 Now Jehoash was seven years old when he had begun to reign.
