II Livro dos Reis 11

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Quando Atalia, mãe de Ocozias, viu morto o seu filho, decidiu exterminar toda a descendência real.	1 And Athalia the mother of Ochozias seeing that her son was dead, arose, and slew all the royal seed.
2 Josebá, porém, filha do rei Jorão e irmã de Ocozias, tomou Joás, filho de Ocozias, e fê-lo escapar do massacre dos filhos do rei, escondendo-o com sua ama de leite no quarto de dormir. Esconderam-no assim, de Atalia, de maneira que pôde escapar à morte.	2 But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia, so that he was not slain.
3 Ele esteve seis anos oculto com Josebá no templo do Senhor, enquanto Atalia reinava sobre a terra.	3 And he was with her six years hid in the house of the Lord. And Athalia reigned over the land.
4 No sétimo ano, Jojada convocou junto de si, no templo do Senhor, os centuriões dos cários e dos cursores. Fez com eles um pacto, e, depois de tê-los feito jurar no templo do Senhor, mostrou-lhes o filho do rei.	4 And in the seventh year Joiada seat, and taking the centurions and the soldiers, brought them in to him into the temple of the Lord, and made a covenant with them: and taking an oath of them in the house of the Lord, shewed them the king's son:
5 Eis o que haveis de fazer, ordenou-lhes ele: um terço dentre vós fará o serviço do sábado, montando guarda ao palácio real; um terço guardará a porta de Sur;	5 And he commanded them, saying: This is the thing that you must do:
6 e um terço a porta que está por detrás dos guardas. Vigiai o palácio, de modo que ninguém possa entrar.	6 Let a third part of you go in on the sabbath, and keep the watch of the king's house. And let a third part be at the gate of Sur: and let a third part be at the gate behind the dwelling of the shieldbearers: and you shall keep the watch of the house of Messa.
7 As duas companhias que terminarem sua semana, farão a guarda do templo do Senhor, junto do rei.	7 But let two parts of you, all that go forth on the sabbath, keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.
8 Estareis, de mãos armadas, à volta do rei, de maneira que, se alguém entrar em vossas fileiras, seja morto. Estareis sempre com o rei, onde quer que ele for.	8 And you shall compass him round about, having weapons in your hands: and if any man shall enter the precinct of the temple, let him be slain: and you shall be with the king coming in and going out.
9 Os centuriões executaram fielmente as ordens do sacerdote Jojada. Tomando cada um os seus homens, tanto os que começavam o serviço no sábado, como os que o terminavam, foram ter com o sacerdote Jojada.	9 And the centurions did according to all things that Joiada the priest had commanded them: and taking every one their men, that went in on the sabbath, with them that went out on the sabbath, came to Joiada the priest.
10 Jojada deu-lhes as lanças e os escudos do rei Davi, que se encontravam no templo do Senhor.	10 And he gave them the spears, and the arms of king David, which were in the house of the Lord.
11 Os guardas postaram-se, de mãos armadas, ao longo do altar e do templo, desde a extremidade sul até a extremidade norte do templo, à volta do rei.	11 And they stood having every one their weapons in their hands, from the right side of the temple, unto the left side of the altar, and of the temple, about the king.
12 Então Jojada fez sair o menino-rei, pôs-lhe a coroa na cabeça e entregou-lhe a Lei. Proclamaram-no rei, ungiram-no e todos o aplaudiram, gritando: Viva o rei!	12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put the diadem upon him, and the testimony: and they made him king, and anointed him: and clapping their hands. they said, God save the king.
13 Ouvindo Atalia o clamor que faziam os guardas e o povo, entrou no templo do Senhor, pelo meio da multidão.	13 And Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple of the Lord,
14 E eis que espetáculo se ofereceu aos seus olhos: lá estava o rei, de pé no estrado, segundo o costume, tendo ao seu lado os chefes e as trombetas, enquanto o povo se alegrava, tocando as trombetas. Então ela rasgou as suas vestes, gritando: Traição, traição!	14 She saw the king standing upon a tribunal, as the manner was, and the singers, and the trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets: and she rent her garments, and cried: A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
15 Mas o sacerdote Jojada ordenou aos centuriões que comandavam as tropas: Levai-a para fora, entre vossas fileiras, e se alguém quiser segui-la, feri-o com a espada. Porque o pontífice proibira que a matassem no templo do Senhor.	15 But Joiada commended the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord.
16 Lançaram-lhe as mãos e, ao chegarem ao palácio real pelo caminho da entrada dos cavalos, mataram-na ali.	16 And they laid hands on her: and thrust her out by the way by which the horses go in, by the palace, and she was slain there.
17 Jojada fez entre o Senhor, o rei e o povo, uma aliança, segundo a qual o povo devia pertencer ao Senhor. Fez também uma aliança entre o rei e o povo.	17 And Joiada made a covenant between the Lord, and the king, and the people, that they should be the people of the Lord, and between the king and the people.
18 Todo o povo entrou então no templo de Baal e o devastou; destruíram os altares, as imagens, e mataram o sacerdote de Baal, Matã, diante dos altares. O pontífice Jojada pôs guardas no templo do Senhor.	18 And all the people of the land went into the temple of Baal, and broke down his altars, and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly: they slew also Mathan the priest of Baal before the altar. And the priest set guards in the house of the Lord.
19 Tomou consigo os centuriões, os caritas, os guardas e todo o povo, e, levando o rei do templo do Senhor, entraram no palácio real pela porta das guardas, e Joás sentou-se no trono dos reis.	19 And he took the centurions, and the bands of the Cerethi and the Phelethi, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the house of the Lord: and they came by the way of the gate of the shieldbearers into the palace. and he sat on the throne of the kings.
20 Todo o povo da terra se alegrou, e a cidade ficou em paz. No palácio real, porém, Atalia era passada ao fio da espada.	20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword in the king's house.
21 Joás tinha sete anos quando subiu ao trono.	21 Now Joas was seven years old, when he began to reign.
