1 καὶ Γοθολία μήτηρ Ὀχοζίου εἶδεν ὅτι ἀπέθανον οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπώλεσεν πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα τῆς βασιλείας. 1 Καὶ Γοθολία μήτηρ Ὀχοζίου εἶδεν ὅτι ἀπέθανεν υἱὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπώλεσε πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα τῆς βασιλείας.

3 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

וַיְהִ֤י אִתָּהּ֙ בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה מִתְחַבֵּ֖א שֵׁ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֑ים וַעֲתַלְיָ֖ה מֹלֶ֥כֶת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

3 καὶ ἦν μετ’ αὐτῆς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου κρυβόμενος ἓξ ἔτη· καὶ Γοθολία βασιλεύουσα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. 3 καὶ ἦν μετ’ αὐτῆς κρυβόμενος ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου ἕξ ἔτη· καὶ Γοθολία βασιλεύουσα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

וּבַשָּׁנָ֣ה הַ֠שְּׁבִיעִית שָׁלַ֨ח יְהֹויָדָ֜ע וַיִּקַּ֣ח ׀ אֶת־שָׂרֵ֣י לַכָּרִי֙ וְלָ֣רָצִ֔ים וַיָּבֵ֥א אֹתָ֛ם אֵלָ֖יו בֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּכְרֹת֩ לָהֶ֨ם בְּרִ֜ית וַיַּשְׁבַּ֤ע אֹתָם֙ בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וַיַּ֥רְא אֹתָ֖ם אֶת־בֶּן־הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

4 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωδαὲ ἱερεὺς καὶ ἔλαβεν τοὺς ἑκατοντάρχους, τὸν Χορρὶ καὶ τὸν Ῥασίμ, καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου καὶ διέθετο αὐτοῖς διαθήκην κυρίου καὶ ὥρκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐνώπιον κυρίου, καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς Ἰωδαὲ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως 4 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωδαὲ καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς ἑκατοντάρχους τῶν Χορρὶ καὶ τῶν Ῥασίμ, καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ διέθετο αὐτοῖς διαθήκην Κυρίου, καὶ ὥρκωσε· καὶ διέθετο αὐτοῖς διαθήκην Κυρίου, καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς Ἰωδαὲ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως
4 And in the seventh year Jōdae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jōdae showed them the king’s son. 4 And in the seventh year Jōdae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jōdae showed them the king’s son.

5 And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that you shall do; A third part of you who enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;

וַיְצַוֵּ֣ם לֵאמֹ֔ר זֶ֥ה הַדָּבָ֖ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר תַּעֲשׂ֑וּן הַשְּׁלִשִׁ֤ית מִכֶּם֙ בָּאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֔ת וְשֹׁ֣מְרֵ֔י מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת בֵּ֥ית הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃


6 And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall you keep the watch of the house, that it isn’t broken down.

וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁית֙ בְּשַׁ֣עַר ס֔וּר וְהַשְּׁלִשִׁ֥ית בַּשַּׁ֖עַר אַחַ֣ר הָרָצִ֑ים וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֛ם אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת הַבַּ֖יִת מַסָּֽח׃

6 καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ τῶν ὁδῶν καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς πύλης ὀπίσω τῶν παρατρεχόντων· καὶ φυλάξετε τὴν φυλακὴν τοῦ οἴκου· 6 τὸ τρίτον ἐξ ὑμῶν εἰσελθέτω τὸ σάββατον καὶ φυλάξατε φυλακὴν οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν τῷ πυλῶνι καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ τῶν ὁδῶν καὶ τὸ τρίτον τῆς πύλης ὀπίσω τῶν παρατρεχόντων· καὶ φυλάξατε τὴν φυλακὴν τοῦ οἴκου.

וּשְׁתֵּ֤י הַיָּדֹות֙ בָּכֶ֔ם כֹּ֖ל יֹצְאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת וְשָֽׁמְר֛וּ אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת בֵּית־יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

7 καὶ δύο χεῖρες ἐν ὑμῖν, πᾶς ἐκπορευόμενος τὸ σάββατον, καὶ φυλάξουσιν τὴν φυλακὴν οἴκου κυρίου πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· 7 καὶ δύο χεῖρες ἐν ὑμῖν, πᾶς ἐκπορευόμενος τὸ σάββατον, καὶ φυλάξουσι τὴν φυλακὴν οἴκου Κυρίου πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα·

8 And you shall surround the king around about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he who comes within the ranges, let him be slain: and be with the king as he goes out and as he comes in.

וְהִקַּפְתֶּ֨ם עַל־הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ סָבִ֗יב אִ֚ישׁ וְכֵלָ֣יו בְּיָדֹ֔ו וְהַבָּ֥א אֶל־הַשְּׂדֵרֹ֖ות יוּמָ֑ת וִהְי֥וּ אֶת־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ בְּצֵאתֹ֥ו וּבְבֹאֹֽו׃


9 And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֞וּ שָׂרֵ֣י כְּכֹ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה֮ יְהֹויָדָ֣ע הַכֹּהֵן֒ וַיִּקְחוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־אֲנָשָׁ֔יו בָּאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֔ת עִ֖ם יֹצְאֵ֣י הַשַּׁבָּ֑ת וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ אֶל־יְהֹויָדָ֥ע הַכֹּהֵֽן׃

9 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ ἑκατόνταρχοι πάντα, ὅσα ἐνετείλατο Ἰωδαὲ συνετός, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀνὴρ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ τοὺς εἰσπορευομένους τὸ σάββατον μετὰ τῶν ἐκπορευομένων τὸ σάββατον καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Ἰωδαὲ τὸν ἱερέα. 9 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ ἑκατόνταρχοι πάντας, ὅσα ἐνετείλατο Ἰωδαὲ συνετός, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀνὴρ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς εἰσπορευομένους τὸ σάββατον μετὰ τῶν ἐκπορευομένων τὸ σάββατον καὶ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς Ἰωδαὲ τὸν ἱερέα.

וַיַּעַמְד֨וּ הָרָצִ֜ים אִ֣ישׁ ׀ וְכֵלָ֣יו בְּיָדֹ֗ו מִכֶּ֨תֶף הַבַּ֤יִת הַיְמָנִית֙ עַד־כֶּ֤תֶף הַבַּ֙יִת֙ הַשְּׂמָאלִ֔ית לַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ וְלַבָּ֑יִת עַל־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ סָבִֽיב׃


12 And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.

וַיֹּוצִ֣א אֶת־בֶּן־הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ וַיִּתֵּ֤ן עָלָיו֙ אֶת־הַנֵּ֙זֶר֙ וְאֶת־הָ֣עֵד֔וּת וַיַּמְלִ֥כוּ אֹתֹ֖ו וַיִּמְשָׁחֻ֑הוּ וַיַּכּוּ־כָ֔ף וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ יְחִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

12 καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὸ νεζερ καὶ τὸ μαρτύριον καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκρότησαν τῇ χειρὶ καὶ εἶπαν ζήτω βασιλεύς. 12 καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὸ νεζὲρ καὶ τὸ μαρτύριον καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκρότησαν τῇ χειρὶ καὶ εἶπαν· ζήτω βασιλεύς.

13 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.

וַתִּשְׁמַ֣ע עֲתַלְיָ֔ה אֶת־קֹ֥ול הָֽרָצִ֖ין הָעָ֑ם וַתָּבֹ֥א אֶל־הָעָ֖ם בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

13 καὶ ἤκουσεν Γοθολία τὴν φωνὴν τῶν τρεχόντων τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν λαὸν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου. 13 καὶ ἤκουσε Γοθολία τὴν φωνὴν τῶν τρεχόντων τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς τὸν λαὸν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.

14 And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.

15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the army, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him who follows her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.

וַיְצַו֩ יְהֹויָדָ֨ע הַכֹּהֵ֜ן אֶת־שָׂרֵ֥י פְּקֻדֵ֣י הַחַ֗יִל וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם֙ הֹוצִ֤יאוּ אֹתָהּ֙ אֶל־מִבֵּ֣ית לַשְּׂדֵרֹ֔ת וְהַבָּ֥א אַחֲרֶ֖יהָ הָמֵ֣ת בֶּחָ֑רֶב כִּ֚י אָמַ֣ר הַכֹּהֵ֔ן אַל־תּוּמַ֖ת בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

15 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰωδαὲ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ἑκατοντάρχαις τοῖς ἐπισκόποις τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς ἐξαγάγετε αὐτὴν ἔσωθεν τῶν σαδηρωθ, καὶ εἰσπορευόμενος ὀπίσω αὐτῆς θανάτῳ θανατωθήσεται ῥομφαίᾳ· ὅτι εἶπεν ἱερεύς καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου. 15 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰωδαὲ ἱερεὺς τοῖς ἑκατοντάρχοις τοῖς ἐπισκόποις τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἐξαγάγετε αὐτὴν ἔσωθεν τῶν σαδηρώθ· εἰσπορευόμενος ὀπίσω αὐτῆς θανάτῳ θανατωθήσεται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ· ὅτι εἶπε ἱερεύς· καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
15 And Jōdae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the army, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, and he who goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword.

16 And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king’s house: and there was she slain.

וַיָּשִׂ֤מוּ לָהּ֙ יָדַ֔יִם וַתָּבֹ֛וא דֶּֽרֶךְ־מְבֹ֥וא הַסּוּסִ֖ים בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַתּוּמַ֖ת שָֽׁם׃

17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they should be the LORD’s people; between the king also and the people.

וַיִּכְרֹ֨ת יְהֹויָדָ֜ע אֶֽת־הַבְּרִ֗ית בֵּ֤ין יְהוָה֙ וּבֵ֤ין הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ וּבֵ֣ין הָעָ֔ם לִהְיֹ֥ות לְעָ֖ם לַֽיהוָ֑ה וּבֵ֥ין הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ וּבֵ֥ין הָעָֽם׃


18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
