代下23:1 到了第七年，耶何耶大奋勇图强，召来耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅、约哈难的儿子以实玛利、俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅、亚大雅的儿子玛西雅和细基利的儿子以利沙法等几位百夫长，和他们立约。
代下23:1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with 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.
代下23:2 他们就走遍犹大，从犹大各城召集利未人和以色列各家族的首领；他们就来到耶路撒冷。
代下23:2 And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.
代下23:3 全体会众在 神的殿里与王立约。耶何耶大对他们说：“王的儿子应当按照耶和华应许大卫的子孙的话作王。
代下23:3 And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.
代下23:4 你们要这样行：你们中间每逢安息日来值班的祭司和利未人，三分之一要把守各门；
代下23:4 This is what you are to do: let a third of you, of the priests and Levites, who come in on the Sabbath, keep the doors;
代下23:5 三分之一要在王宫，三分之一要在基址门；全体人民都要在耶和华殿的院子里。
代下23:5 And a third are to be stationed at the king's house; and a third at the doorway of the horses: while all the people are waiting in the open spaces round the house of the Lord.
代下23:6 除了祭司和供职的利未人以外，任何人不得进入耶和华的殿，只有他们可以进去，因为他们是分别为圣的；全体人民都要遵守耶和华的吩咐。
代下23:6 But let no one come into the house of the Lord but only the priests and those of the Levites who have work to do there; they may go in for they are holy; but the rest of the people are to keep the orders of the Lord.
代下23:7 利未人要在周围环绕君王，各人手里拿着武器；擅自进殿的，都必被处死；王出入的时候，你们都要随着他。”
代下23:7 And the Levites are to make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and any man who comes into the house is to be put to death; you are to keep with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.
代下23:8 利未人和犹大众人都照着耶何耶大祭司吩咐的一切去行；他们各人带着在安息日值班或在安息日下班的人来，因为耶何耶大祭司不准他们下班。
代下23:8 So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.
代下23:9 于是耶何耶大祭司把 神的殿里，原本属于大卫王的矛枪、大盾和小盾，交给了众百夫长；
代下23:9 Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's and which were kept in the house of God.
代下23:10 他又分派众民，守卫在祭坛和殿的四周，从殿的右面到殿的左面，环绕着王。
代下23:10 And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.
代下23:11 于是他们把王子领出来，给他戴上王冠，又把约书交给他，立他为王；耶何耶大和他的众子用膏膏他，并且说：“愿王万岁！”
代下23:11 Then they made the king's son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.
代下23:12 亚他利雅听见人民奔跑和赞美王的声音，就进了耶和华的殿，到众民那里去。
代下23:12 Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:
代下23:13 她一观看，见王站在殿门口的柱旁，众官长和吹号的人在王的周围；国民都欢乐吹号，又有歌唱的人用各种乐器领导众人歌颂。于是亚他利雅撕裂衣服，说：“反了！反了！”
代下23:13 And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!
代下23:14 耶何耶大祭司把管辖军队的众百夫长叫出来，对他们说：“把她从各班次中间赶出去；跟随她的人，都要用刀杀死。”因为祭司说：“不可在耶和华的殿内杀死她。”
代下23:14 Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
代下23:15 她走到王宫的马门入口的时候，众兵就把她拿住，在那里把她杀死了。
代下23:15 So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the king's horses; and there she was put to death.
代下23:16 耶何耶大与众民和王立约，要他们作耶和华的子民。
代下23:16 And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord's people.
代下23:17 于是众民都去到巴力庙，把庙拆毁，打碎祭坛和偶像，又在祭坛前杀了巴力的祭司玛坦。
代下23:17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.
代下23:18 耶何耶大把看守耶和华殿的责任，交在利未支派的祭司手里；这些利未支派的祭司是大卫分派在耶和华的殿中，照着摩西的律法所记的，给耶和华献燔祭，又照着大卫所定的，欢乐歌唱。
代下23:18 And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said.
代下23:19 他又设立守门的看守耶和华殿的各门，无论为了什么事，不洁净的人，都不能进去。
代下23:19 And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord's house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.
代下23:20 他率领百夫长、贵族、民间的官长和国民，又把王从耶和华的殿领下来，从“上门”进入王宫，拥立王坐在王位上。
代下23:20 Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.
代下23:21 于是全国的人民都欢乐，全城也都宁静；因为他们把亚他利雅用刀杀了。
代下23:21 So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
