2 Istwa 23
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Sou setyèm lanne a, Jeojada, prèt la, pran kouraj li ak de men, li deside lè a rive pou l' fè sa pou l' fè a. Li fè rele senk kaptenn nan lame a: Azarya, pitit Jewokam, Ismayèl, pitit Jokanan, Azaryawou, pitit gason Obèd, Maseja, pitit gason Adaja ak Elichafat, pitit Zikri. Li pran yon dizon ak yo. 2 Mesye sa yo vwayaje ale nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo, yo al chache moun Levi yo ak tout chèf fanmi yo, fè yo moute lavil Jerizalèm. 3 Yo tout reyini nan Tanp lan. Yo pase yon kontra ak wa Joas, lèfini Jeojada di yo: -Men pitit gason defen wa nou an. Se li menm ki pral gouvènen koulye a jan Seyè a te pwomèt fanmi David la. 4 Men sa nou pral fè: Lè prèt yo ak moun Levi yo va vin pran pòs jou repo a, y'a separe fè twa gwoup menm fòs. Yon gwoup va fè pòs nan pòtay Tanp lan. 5 Yon lòt gwoup va pran pòs bò palè wa a. Rès yo va moute lagad bò pòtay fondasyon an. Tout pèp la va sanble nan gwo lakou Tanp Seyè a. 6 Pa kite pesonn antre anndan Tanp lan, esepte prèt ak moun Levi ki nan sèvis yo. Yo menm yo gen dwa antre, paske yo mete yo apa pou Bondye. Tout rès pèp la va rete deyò pou moute lagad pou Seyè a. 7 Moun Levi yo va fè yon wonn ak wa a nan mitan yo. Y'a kenbe zam yo nan men yo. Kote wa a va fè, y'a mache avè l' nan pozisyon sa a. Si yon moun ta vle seye antre nan Tanp lan, touye l'. 8 Moun Levi yo ak tout moun peyi Jida yo fè tou sa Jeojada te ba yo lòd fè a. Jeojada, prèt la, pa t' kite gwoup ki te fin fè sèvis yo jou repo a ale. Konsa, kaptenn lame yo te gen avèk yo ni sa ki t'ap vin pran sèvis, ni sa ki te fin fè sèvis yo. 9 Jeojada bay kaptenn lame yo frenn ak divès plak pwotèj wa David yo ki te sere nan Tanp Bondye a. 10 Li mete moun ak nepe nan men yo sou tout devan Tanp lan ak devan lotèl la, depi sou bò gòch rive sou bò dwat Tanp lan pou pwoteje wa a. 11 Lèfini, li fè Joas, pitit wa a, soti. Li mete kouwòn lan sou tèt li, li pase ti chenn yo nan ponyèt li ak nan janm li. Yo fè l' wa. Jeojada, prèt la, ak pitit li yo vide lwil sou tèt Joas pou mete l' apa pou travay la. Tout pèp la pran rele: -Viv wa a! 12 Lè Atali tande bri pye pèp la ki t'ap kouri epi ki t'ap bat bravo pou wa a, li prese al nan Tanp kote pèp la te ye a. 13 Li wè wa a te kanpe bò gwo poto a, bò pòtay pou antre nan Tanp lan, chèf yo ak tout mizisyen yo bò kote l'. Tout pèp la te kontan, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt. Sanba yo ak enstriman mizik yo t'ap voye chante. Kè Atali kase, li chire rad sou li, li pran rele: -Men yo moute yon konplo sou do m'. 14 Lamenm Jeojada, prèt la, bay kaptenn ki t'ap kòmande lame a lòd, li di yo: -Pase nan mitan de ran sòlda yo avè l', mennen l' deyò. Touye nenpòt moun nou wè ki ta vle swiv li. Prèt la te bay lòd pou yo pa touye Atali anndan Tanp Seyè a. 15 Yo pran Atali, yo mennen l' nan palè wa a, bò Pòtay Chwal yo. Se la yo touye l'. 16 Lè sa a, Jeojada pase yon kontra ak wa a ansanm ak tout pèp la. Dapre kontra a, yo rekonèt se pèp Seyè a yo ye. 17 Lè yo fini, tout pèp la ale nan tanp Baal la, yo demoli l'. Yo kraze tout lotèl yo ak tout estati li yo. Yo touye Matan, prèt Baal la, devan lotèl yo. 18 Jeojada mete gad pou fè faksyon devan Tanp Seyè a, anba otorite prèt yo ak moun Levi yo ki te reskonsab travay nan Tanp lan. Chak prèt ak chak moun Levi te gen jou pa yo David te ba yo pou yo te pran sèvis pou boule nèt ofrann pou Seyè a, dapre lalwa Moyiz la. Se yo menm tou ki te reskonsab voye chante kè kontan jan David te moutre l' la. 19 Jeojada mete gad an faksyon devan pòtay Tanp lan pou enpoze moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a antre. 20 Apre sa, li pran kaptenn yo, notab yo, otorite yo ak tout rès pèp la, yo soti nan Tanp lan ansanm ak wa a, yo mennen l' ale nan palè a. Yo pase antre nan pòtay Wa a. Lèfini, yo fè wa a chita sou fotèy li. 21 Tout pèp la te kontan anpil. Pat gen yon ti bri nan lavil la depi yo te fin touye Atali ak kout nepe a.

2 Istwa 23:1
2Ch 23:1-11. Jehoiada Makes Joash King.
1. in the seventh year Jehoiada ... took the captains of hundreds, &c.--(See on 2Ki 11:4; 2Ki 11:17). The five officers mentioned here had been probably of the royal guard, and were known to be strongly disaffected to the government of Athaliah.
2 Istwa 23:2
2. chief of all the fathers of Israel--This name is frequently used in Chronicles for Judah and Benjamin, now all that remained of Israel. Having cautiously entrusted the secret of the young prince's preservation to all the leading men in the kingdom, he enlisted their interest in the royal cause and got their pledge to support it by a secret oath of fidelity.
they came to Jerusalem--The time chosen for the grand discovery was, probably, one of the annual festivals, when there was a general concourse of the nation at the capital.
2 Istwa 23:4-9
4-9. This is the thing that ye shall do--The arrangements made for defense are here described. The people were divided into three bodies; one attended as guards to the king, while the other two were posted at all the doors and gates, and the captains and military officers who entered the temple unarmed to lull suspicion, were furnished with weapons out of the sacred armory, where David had deposited his trophies of victory and which was reopened on this occasion.
2 Istwa 23:11
11. Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony--Some think that the original word rendered "testimony," as its derivation warrants, may signify here the regalia, especially the bracelet (2Sa 1:10); and this view they support on the ground that "gave him" being supplemented, the text properly runs thus, "put upon him the crown and testimony." At the same time, it seems equally pertinent to take "the testimony" in the usual acceptation of that term; and, accordingly, many are of opinion that a roll containing a copy of the law (De 17:18) was placed in the king's hands, which he held as a scepter or truncheon. Others, referring to a custom of Oriental people, who when receiving a letter or document from a highly respected quarter, lift it up to their heads before opening it, consider that Joash, besides the crown, had the book of the law laid upon his head (see Job 31:35, 36).
God save the king--literally, "Long live the king."
2Ch 23:12-15. Athaliah Slain.
2 Istwa 23:12
12. Athaliah heard the noise of the people--The unusual commotion, indicated by the blast of the trumpets and the vehement acclamations of the people, drew her attention, or excited her fears. She might have flattered herself that, having slain all the royal family, she was in perfect security; but it is just as likely that, finding on reflection, one had escaped her murderous hands, she might not deem it expedient to institute any enquiries; but the very idea would keep her constantly in a state of jealous suspicion and irritation. In that state of mind, the wicked usurper, hearing across the Tyropoeon the outburst of popular joy, rushed across the bridge to the temple grounds, and, penetrating from a single glance the meaning of the whole scene, raised a shriek of "Treason!"
2 Istwa 23:13
13. behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in--The king's pillar was in the people's court, opposite that of the priests'. The young king, arrayed in the royal insignia, had been brought out of the inner, to stand forth in the outer court, to the public view. Some think that he stood on the brazen scaffold of Solomon, erected beside the pillar [see on 2Ch 6:13].
2 Istwa 23:14-15
14-15. Slay her not in the house of the Lord ... and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there--The high priest ordered her immediately to be taken out of the temple grounds and put to death. "And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain" (2Ki 11:16). "Now, we are not to suppose that horses came into [the king's house] of residence, but into the king's (horses') house or hippodrome (the gate of the king's mules) [Josephus], he had built for them on the southeast of the temple, in the immediate vicinity of the horse gate in the valley of Kedron--a valley which was at that time a kind of desecrated place by the destruction of idols and their appurtenances" (2Ki 23:2, 6, 12) [Barclay, City of the Great King].
2Ch 23:16. Jehoiada Restores the Worship of God, and Settles the King.
2 Istwa 23:16
16. Jehoiada made a covenant--(See on 2Ki 11:17).
