Secondo libro dei Re 11

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Athalia vero mater Ochoziae videns mortuum filium suum surrexit et interfecit omne semen regium.	1 When Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she began to kill off the whole royal family.
2 Tollens autem Iosaba filia regis Ioram soror Ochoziae Ioas filium Ochoziae furata est eum de medio filiorum regis, qui interficiebantur, et nutricem eius in cubiculo lectulorum, et absconderunt eum a facie Athaliae, ut non interficeretur.	2 But Jehosheba, daughter of King Jehoram and sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, his son, and spirited him away, along with his nurse, from the bedroom where the princes were about to be slain. She concealed him from Athaliah, and so he did not die.
3 Eratque cum ea in domo Domini clam sex annis; porro Athalia regnavit super terram.	3 For six years he remained hidden in the temple of the LORD, while Athaliah ruled the land.
4 Anno autem septimo misit Ioiada et assumens centuriones Carum et cursorum introduxit ad se in templum Domini pepigitque cum eis foedus; et adiurans eos in domo Domini ostendit eis filium regis	4 But in the seventh year, Jehoiada summoned the captains of the Carians and of the guards. He had them come to him in the temple of the LORD, exacted from them a sworn commitment, and then showed them the king's son.
5 et praecepit illis dicens: “ Hoc est, quod facere debetis: tertia pars vestrum introeat sabbato et observet excubitum domus regis;	5 He gave them these orders: "This is what you must do: the third of you who come on duty on the sabbath shall guard the king's palace;
6 tertia autem pars ad portam Sur, et tertia pars sit ad portam, quae est post habitaculum cursorum, et custodietis excubitum domus per vices.	6 another third shall be at the gate Sur; and the last third shall be at the gate behind the guards.
7 Duae vero partes e vobis omnes egredientes sabbato custodiant excubias domus Domini circum regem.	7 The two of your divisions who are going off duty that week shall keep guard over the temple of the LORD for the king.
8 Et vallabitis eum habentes arma in manibus vestris; si quis autem ingressus fuerit saeptum templi, interficiatur; eritisque cum rege introeunte et egrediente.	8 You shall surround the king, each with drawn weapons, and if anyone tries to approach the cordon, kill him; stay with the king, whatever he may do."
9 Et fecerunt centuriones iuxta omnia, quae praeceperat eis Ioiada sacerdos, et assumentes singuli viros suos, qui ingrediebantur sabbato, cum his, qui egrediebantur sabbato, venerunt ad Ioiada sacerdotem.	9 The captains did just as Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one with his men, both those going on duty for the sabbath and those going off duty that week, came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 Qui dedit centurionibus hastas et peltas regis David, quae erant in domo Domini.	10 He gave the captains King David's spears and shields, which were in the temple of the LORD.
11 Et steterunt cursores singuli habentes arma in manu sua a parte templi dextera usque ad partem templi sinistram contra altare et aedem circum regem.	11 And the guards, with drawn weapons, lined up from the southern to the northern limit of the enclosure, surrounding the altar and the temple on the king's behalf.
12 Produxitque filium regis et dedit ei diadema et testimonium; feceruntque eum regem et unxerunt et plaudentes manu dixerunt: “ Vivat rex! ”.	12 Then Jehoiada led out the king's son and put the crown and the insignia upon him. They proclaimed him king and anointed him, clapping their hands and shouting, "Long live the king!"
13 Audivit autem Athalia vocem populi et ingressa ad turbas in templum Domini	13 Athaliah heard the noise made by the people, and appeared before them in the temple of the LORD.
14 vidit regem stantem super tribunal iuxta morem et principes et tubas prope eum omnemque populum terrae laetantem et canentem tubis; et scidit vestimenta sua clamavitque: “ Coniuratio, coniuratio! ”.	14 When she saw the king standing by the pillar, as was the custom, and the captains and trumpeters near him, with all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets, she tore her garments and cried out, "Treason, treason!"
15 Praecepit autem Ioiada sacerdos centurionibus, qui erant super exercitum, et ait eis: “ Educite eam extra consaepta templi, et, quicumque secutus eam fuerit, feriatur gladio ”. Dixerat enim sacerdos: “ Non occidatur in templo Domini ”.	15 Then Jehoiada the priest instructed the captains in command of the force: "Bring her outside through the ranks. If anyone follows her," he added, "let him die by the sword." He had given orders that she should not be slain in the temple of the LORD.
16 Imposueruntque ei manus et impegerunt eam per viam introitus Equorum in palatium, et interfecta est ibi.	16 She was led out forcibly to the horse gate of the royal palace, where she was put to death.
17 Pepigit igitur Ioiada foedus inter Dominum et inter regem et inter populum, ut esset populus Domini, et inter regem et populum.	17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD as one party and the king and the people as the other, by which they would be the LORD'S people; and another covenant, between the king and the people.
18 Ingressusque est omnis populus terrae templum Baal, et destruxerunt illud et aras eius et imagines contriverunt valide; Matthan quoque sacerdotem Baal occiderunt coram altaribus. Et posuit sacerdos custodias in domo Domini	18 Thereupon all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and demolished it. They shattered its altars and images completely, and slew Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars. After appointing a detachment for the temple of the LORD, Jehoiada
19 tulitque centuriones et Cares et cursores et omnem populum terrae; deduxeruntque regem de domo Domini. Et venerunt per viam portae Cursorum in palatium, et sedit super thronum regum.	19 with the captains, the Carians, the guards, and all the people of the land, led the king down from the temple of the LORD through the guards' gate to the palace, where Joash took his seat on the royal throne.
20 Laetatusque est omnis populus terrae, et civitas conquievit; Athalia autem occisa est gladio in domo regis.	20 All the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet, now that Athaliah had been slain with the sword at the royal palace.
