2 Chronicles 23
1 Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada having been strengthened, he took the centurions, namely, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, and also Azariah, the son of Obed, and Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri, and he formed a pact with them.
Pada tahun ketujuh Imam Yoyada memutuskan untuk bertindak. Ia mengadakan persepakatan dengan lima perwira, yaitu Azarya anak Yeroham, Ismail anak Yohanan, Azarya anak Obed, Maaseya anak Adaya, dan Elisafat anak Zikhri.
2 And traveling through Judah, they gathered together the Levites from all of the cities of Judah, and the leaders of the families of Israel, and they went to Jerusalem.
Mereka pergi ke semua kota di Yehuda, dan mengumpulkan orang-orang Lewi dan semua kepala kaum, lalu membawa mereka ke Yerusalem.
3 Then the entire multitude formed a pact with the king, in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them: “Behold, the son of the king shall reign, just as the Lord has said concerning the sons of David.
Mereka berkumpul di Rumah TUHAN, dan membuat perjanjian dengan Yoas, putra raja itu. Yoyada berkata kepada mereka, "Inilah putra mendiang Raja Ahazia! Ia sekarang harus naik takhta, sebab TUHAN sudah berjanji bahwa keturunan Raja Daud akan tetap memerintah.
4 Therefore, this is the word that you shall do:
Inilah yang harus kita lakukan: Apabila para imam dan orang Lewi selesai bertugas pada hari Sabat, mereka tidak boleh pulang. Sepertiga dari mereka harus ikut menjaga di pintu-pintu gerbang Rumah TUHAN,
5 One third part of you who arrive on the Sabbath, priests, and Levites, and porters, shall be at the gates. Truly, one third part shall be at the house of the king. And one third shall be at the gate which is called the Foundation. Yet truly, let all the remainder of the common people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
sepertiga lagi di istana raja, dan selebihnya di Pintu Gerbang Dasar. Seluruh rakyat harus berkumpul di halaman Rumah TUHAN.
6 Let no one else enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests, and those from the Levites who are ministering. These alone may enter, for they have been sanctified. And let all the remainder of the common people observe the watches of the Lord.
Tidak seorang pun boleh memasuki gedung Rumah TUHAN kecuali para imam dan orang Lewi yang sedang bertugas. Mereka boleh masuk sebab mereka sudah dikhususkan untuk TUHAN. Orang-orang lain harus taat kepada peraturan TUHAN dan tinggal di luar.
7 Then let the Levites encircle the king, each one having his weapons. And if anyone else will have entered into the temple, let him be slain. And may they be with the king, both entering and departing.”
Orang-orang Lewi harus berdiri di sekeliling raja dengan pedang terhunus, dan mengawal dia ke mana pun ia pergi. Siapa berusaha memasuki Rumah TUHAN, harus dibunuh."
8 Then the Levites, and all of Judah, acted in accord with all that the high priest Jehoiada had instructed. And each of them took the men who were under him, and who were arriving by the course of the Sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the Sabbath and who were about to depart. For indeed the high priest Jehoiada had not permitted the companies to depart, which were accustomed to replace one another each week.
Perintah Yoyada itu dilaksanakan oleh orang-orang Lewi dan rakyat Yehuda. Orang-orang yang lepas tugas pada hari Sabat tidak dibolehkan pulang. Jadi para perwira dapat mengerahkan baik orang-orang yang lepas tugas maupun yang baru datang untuk bertugas.
9 And Jehoiada, the priest, gave to the centurions the lances and round shields and crescent shields of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.
Kepada para perwira itu Yoyada membagikan tombak dan perisai milik Raja Daud yang disimpan di Rumah TUHAN.
10 And he positioned all the people, holding short swords, from the right part of the temple to the left part of the temple, before the altar and the temple, all around the king.
Yoyada juga menempatkan orang-orang dengan pedang terhunus di seputar bagian depan Rumah TUHAN untuk melindungi raja.
11 And they led out the son of the king. And they imposed the diadem on him, and the testimony. And they gave him the law to hold in his hand. And they appointed him as king. Also, the high priest Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. And they prayed for him, and said, “May the king live!”
Sesudah itu Yoyada membawa Yoas keluar, lalu meletakkan mahkota di kepalanya, dan menyerahkan kepadanya buku Hukum Allah. Demikianlah Yoas diangkat menjadi raja. Kemudian Imam Yoyada dengan anak-anaknya menuangkan minyak upacara penobatan pada Yoas, lalu semua orang berseru, "Hidup raja!"
12 And when Athaliah had heard it, specifically the sound of running and the praising of the king, she entered to the people in the temple of the Lord.
Atalya mendengar rakyat bersorak mengelu-elukan raja. Cepat-cepat ia pergi ke Rumah TUHAN di mana orang banyak berkerumun.
13 And when she had seen the king standing upon the step at the entrance, and the leaders and companies around him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets, and playing on instruments of various kinds, and the voice of those who were praising, she tore her garments, and she said: “Treason! Treason!”
Ia melihat raja yang baru itu berdiri di pintu masuk Rumah TUHAN, di mana ia dinobatkan, dikelilingi oleh perwira-perwira dan peniup trompet. Seluruh rakyat bersorak gembira sambil trompet dibunyikan, dan para pemain musik di Rumah TUHAN memeriahkan perayaan itu dengan alat-alat musik mereka. Dengan cemas Atalya merobek pakaiannya dan berteriak, "Khianat! Khianat!"
14 Then the high priest Jehoiada, going out to the centurions and to the leaders of the army, said to them: “Lead her away, beyond the borders of the temple. And let her be put to death outside, with the sword.” And the priest instructed that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.
Yoyada tidak mengizinkan Atalya dibunuh di sekitar Rumah TUHAN, jadi ia berkata kepada para perwira, "Bawalah dia ke luar melalui barisan pengawal, dan bunuh siapa saja yang berusaha menyelamatkan dia."
15 And they laid hands on her neck. And when she had entered the gate for the horses at the king’s house, they put her to death there.
Mereka menangkap dia, lalu membawanya ke istana. Di sana ia dibunuh di Pintu Gerbang Kuda.
16 Then Jehoiada formed a covenant between himself and the entire people, and the king, so that they would be the people of the Lord.
Imam Yoyada mengajak Raja Yoas dan rakyat bersama-sama dengan dia membuat perjanjian bahwa mereka akan menjadi umat TUHAN.
17 And so, all the people entered into the house of Baal, and they destroyed it. And they broke apart his altars and idols. Also, they put to death Mattan, the priest of Baal, before the altars.
Setelah itu mereka semua menyerbu dan meruntuhkan kuil Baal. Mezbah serta patung-patungnya dihancurkan, dan Matan, Imam Baal dibunuh di depan mezbah-mezbah itu.
18 Then Jehoiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests and Levites, whom David had distributed to the house of the Lord so that they might offer holocausts to the Lord, just as it was written in the law of Moses, with gladness and singing, in accord with the disposition of David.
Lalu Yoyada menugaskan para imam dan orang Lewi untuk mengurus pekerjaan di Rumah TUHAN menurut pembagian kerja yang telah ditentukan oleh Raja Daud. Mereka harus mempersembahkan kurban bakaran kepada TUHAN--sesuai dengan hukum-hukum Musa--dengan perayaan dan nyanyian-nyanyian seperti yang telah diatur oleh Daud.
19 Also, he appointed porters at the gates of the house of the Lord, so that whoever was unclean for any reason would not enter.
Di pintu-pintu gerbang Rumah TUHAN, Yoyada menempatkan pengawal untuk menjaga supaya orang yang tidak patut menyembah TUHAN jangan masuk.
20 And he took the centurions, and the most valiant men, and the leaders of the people, and all the common people of the land, and they set out to descend to the king, from the house of the Lord, and to enter through the middle of the upper gate, to the house of the king. And they placed him on the royal throne.
Para perwira, para tokoh masyarakat, para pejabat pemerintah, dan seluruh rakyat mengikuti Yoyada mengarak Raja Yoas dari Rumah TUHAN ke istana. Mereka masuk dari pintu gerbang utama lalu raja duduk di atas singgasana.
21 And all the people of the land were rejoicing, and the city was quieted. But Athaliah was slain with the sword.
Seluruh rakyat gembira, kota pun tenteram dan Atalya sudah dibunuh.
