II Livro dos Reis 11

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Quando Atalia, mãe de Ocozias, viu morto o seu filho, decidiu exterminar toda a descendência real.	1 Truly, Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, seeing that her son was dead, rose up and put to death all the royal offspring.
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 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 Ele esteve seis anos oculto com Josebá no templo do Senhor, enquanto Atalia reinava sobre a terra.	3 And he was with her for six years, hidden in the house of the Lord. But Athaliah 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 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 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 word 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 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 As duas companhias que terminarem sua semana, farão a guarda do templo do Senhor, junto do rei.	7 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 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 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 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 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 Jojada deu-lhes as lanças e os escudos do rei Davi, que se encontravam no templo do Senhor.	10 And he gave to them the spears and weapons 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, 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 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 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 Ouvindo Atalia o clamor que faziam os guardas e o povo, entrou no templo do Senhor, pelo meio da multidão.	13 Then Athaliah heard the sound of the people running. And entering to the crowd at 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, 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 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 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 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 they pushed her through the way by which horses enter, beside the palace. And she was killed 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword at the house of the king.
21 Joás tinha sete anos quando subiu ao trono.	21 Now Jehoash was seven years old when he had begun to reign.
