2 Crónicas 23
Sainte Bible libre pour le monde
1La septième année, Jehojada se fortifia et prit les chefs de centaines - Azaria, fils de Jerocham, Ismaël, fils de Jochanan, Azaria, fils d'Obed, Maaséja, fils d'Adaja, et Élischaphat, fils de Zicri - pour faire alliance avec lui.
2Ils firent le tour de Juda et rassemblèrent les Lévites de toutes les villes de Juda, ainsi que les chefs de famille d'Israël, et ils vinrent à Jérusalem.
3Toute l'assemblée fit alliance avec le roi dans la maison de Dieu. Jehojada leur dit : « Voici, le fils du roi doit régner, comme Yahvé l'a dit au sujet des fils de David.
4Voici ce que vous devez faire : un tiers d'entre vous, qui entre le jour du sabbat, parmi les prêtres et les lévites, sera chargé de garder les seuils.
5Un tiers sera à la maison du roi, et un tiers à la porte de la fondation. Tout le peuple sera dans les parvis de la maison de Yahvé.
6Mais que personne n'entre dans la maison de l'Éternel, sauf les prêtres et ceux qui font le service des Lévites. Ils entreront, car ils sont saints, mais tout le peuple devra suivre les instructions de l'Éternel.
7Les lévites entoureront le roi, chacun ayant ses armes à la main. Quiconque entrera dans la maison, qu'il soit tué. Soyez avec le roi quand il entrera et quand il sortira. »
8Les Lévites et tout Juda firent donc tout ce que le prêtre Jehoïada avait ordonné. Ils prirent chacun leurs hommes, ceux qui devaient entrer le jour du sabbat, avec ceux qui devaient sortir le jour du sabbat, car le prêtre Jehoïada ne renvoyait pas le service.
9Le prêtre Jehojada remit aux chefs de centaines les lances, les boucles et les boucliers qui avaient appartenu au roi David et qui se trouvaient dans la maison de Dieu.
10Il plaça tout le peuple, chacun son arme à la main, depuis le côté droit de la maison jusqu'au côté gauche de la maison, près de l'autel et de la maison, autour du roi.
11Puis on fit sortir le fils du roi, on lui mit la couronne, on lui donna l'alliance et on le fit roi. Jehoïada et ses fils l'oignirent, et ils dirent : « Vive le roi ! »
12Lorsqu'Athalie entendit le bruit du peuple qui courait et louait le roi, elle entra avec le peuple dans la maison de l'Éternel.
13Elle regarda, et voici que le roi se tenait à l'entrée, près de sa colonne, avec les chefs et les trompettes près du roi. Tout le peuple du pays se réjouissait et sonnait des trompettes. Les chanteurs jouaient aussi des instruments de musique et dirigeaient les chants de louange. Alors Athalie déchira ses vêtements et dit : « Trahison ! Trahison ! »
14Le prêtre Jehoïada fit sortir les chefs de centaines qui étaient à la tête de l'armée, et leur dit : « Faites-la sortir entre les rangs, et que celui qui la suivra soit tué par l'épée. » Car le prêtre avait dit : « Ne la tuez pas dans la maison de l'Éternel. »
15Ils lui firent donc place. Elle alla jusqu'à l'entrée de la porte des chevaux de la maison du roi, et c'est là qu'ils la tuèrent.
16Jehojada fit une alliance entre lui, tout le peuple et le roi, pour qu'ils soient le peuple de l'Éternel.
17Tout le peuple alla à la maison de Baal, la démolit, brisa ses autels et ses images, et tua Mattan, prêtre de Baal, devant les autels.
18Jehojada plaça les officiers de la maison de l'Éternel sous la direction des prêtres lévitiques, que David avait répartis dans la maison de l'Éternel, pour qu'ils offrent les holocaustes de l'Éternel, comme il est écrit dans la loi de Moïse, avec allégresse et en chantant, selon l'ordre de David.
19Il plaça les gardiens aux portes de la maison de l'Éternel, afin que n'entre pas celui qui était impur en quoi que ce soit.
20Il prit les chefs de centaines, les nobles, les gouverneurs du peuple et tout le peuple du pays, et fit descendre le roi de la maison de l'Éternel. Ils entrèrent par la porte supérieure dans la maison du roi, et ils placèrent le roi sur le trône du royaume.
21Et tout le peuple du pays se réjouit, et la ville fut tranquille. Ils avaient tué Athalie par l'épée.
Reina-Valera 1909
1MAS el séptimo año se animó Joiada, y tomó consigo en alianza á los centuriones, Azarías hijo de Jeroam, y á Ismael hijo de Johanán, y á Azarías hijo de Obed, y á Maasías hijo de Adaías, y á Elisaphat hijo de Zichri;
2Los cuales rodeando por Judá, juntaron los Levitas de todas las ciudades de Judá, y á los príncipes de las familias de Israel, y vinieron á Jerusalem.
3Y toda la multitud hizo alianza con el rey en la casa de Dios. Y él les dijo: He aquí el hijo del rey, el cual reinará, como Jehová lo tiene dicho de los hijos de David.
4Lo que habéis de hacer es: la tercera parte de vosotros, los que entran de semana, estarán de porteros con los sacerdotes y los Levitas;
5Y la tercera parte, á la casa del rey; y la tercera parte, á la puerta del fundamento: y todo el pueblo estará en los patios de la casa de Jehová.
6Y ninguno entre en la casa de Jehová, sino los sacerdotes y Levitas que sirven: éstos entrarán, porque están consagrados; y todo el pueblo hará la guardia de Jehová.
7Y los Levitas rodearán al rey por todas partes, y cada uno tendrá sus armas en la mano; y cualquiera que entrare en la casa, muera: y estaréis con el rey cuando entrare, y cuando saliere.
8Y los Levitas y todo Judá lo hicieron todo como lo había mandado el sacerdote Joiada: y tomó cada uno los suyos, los que entraban de semana, y los que salían el sábado: porque el sacerdote Joiada no dió licencia á las compañías.
9Dió también el sacerdote Joiada á los centuriones las lanzas, paveses y escudos que habían sido del rey David, que estaban en la casa de Dios;
10Y puso en orden á todo el pueblo, teniendo cada uno su espada en la mano, desde el rincón derecho del templo hasta el izquierdo, hacia el altar y la casa, en derredor del rey por todas partes.
11Entonces sacaron al hijo del rey, y pusiéronle la corona y el testimonio, é hiciéronle rey; y Joiada y sus hijos le ungieron, diciendo luego: ¡Viva el rey!
12Y como Athalía oyó el estruendo de la gente que corría, y de los que bendecían al rey, vino al pueblo á la casa de Jehová;
13Y mirando, vió al rey que estaba junto á su columna á la entrada, y los príncipes y los trompetas junto al rey, y que todo el pueblo de la tierra hacía alegrías, y sonaban bocinas, y cantaban con instrumentos de música los que sabían alabar. Entonces Athalía rasgó sus vestidos, y dijo: ¡Conjuración, conjuración!
14Y sacando el pontífice Joiada los centuriones y capitanes del ejército, díjoles: Sacadla fuera del recinto; y el que la siguiere, muera á cuchillo: porque el sacerdote había mandado que no la matasen en la casa de Jehová.
15Ellos pues le echaron mano, y luego que hubo ella pasado la entrada de la puerta de los caballos de la casa del rey, allí la mataron.
16Y Joiada hizo pacto entre sí y todo el pueblo y el rey, que serían pueblo de Jehová.
17Después de esto entró todo el pueblo en el templo de Baal, y derribáronlo, y también sus altares; é hicieron pedazos sus imágenes, y mataron delante de los altares á Mathán, sacerdote de Baal.
18Luego ordenó Joiada los oficios en la casa de Jehová bajo la mano de los sacerdotes y Levitas, según David los había distribuído en la casa de Jehová, para ofrecer á Jehová los holocaustos, como está escrito en la ley de Moisés, con gozo y cantares, conforme á la ordenación de David.
19Puso también porteros á las puertas de la casa de Jehová, para que por ninguna vía entrase ningún inmundo.
20Tomó después los centuriones, y los principales, y los que gobernaban el pueblo; y á todo el pueblo de la tierra, y llevó al rey de la casa de Jehová; y viniendo hasta el medio de la puerta mayor de la casa del rey, sentaron al rey sobre el trono del reino.
21Y todo el pueblo del país hizo alegrías: y la ciudad estuvo quieta, muerto que hubieron á Athalía á cuchillo.
King James Version
1And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
2And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
4This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
5And a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
6But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
7And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
8So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
9Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God.
10And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
11Then they brought out the king’s son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
12Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
13And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
14Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
15So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king’s house, they slew her there.
16And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.
17Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
19And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
20And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
21And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
World English Bible
1In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him.
2They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.
4This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
5A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of the LORD’s house.
6But let no one come into the LORD’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD’s instructions.
7The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
8So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.
9Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
10He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.
11Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
12When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the LORD’s house.
13Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”
14Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in the LORD’s house.”
15So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
16Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD’s people.
17All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18Jehoiada appointed the officers of the LORD’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in the LORD’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
19He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the LORD’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
20He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the LORD’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
