2 Kings 23
1 Then the king sent, —and there were gathered unto him, all the elders of Judah, and Jerusalem;
Lè sa a, wa Jozyas voye misyon bay tout chèf fanmi nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a pou yo reyini ansanm avè l'.
2 and the king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.
Apre sa, wa a moute nan Tanp Seyè a ansanm avèk prèt yo, pwofèt yo, tout moun peyi Jida yo, moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo ak tout rès pèp la, grannèg kou tinèg. Wa a kanpe devan yo tout, li li byen fò tou sa ki te nan Liv Kontra yo te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.
3 And the king took his stand by the pillar, and solemnised a covenant before Yahweh—to follow Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all [their] heart and with all [their] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant, written in this book. And all the people took their stand in the covenant.
Lè li fini, li rete kanpe nan plas rezève pou li bò gwo poto a, li pran angajman devan Seyè a pou li fè volonte Seyè a, pou li mache dapre kòmandman, prensip ak lòd Bondye yo ak tout kè li ak tout nanm li. Lèfini, pou l' kenbe tout kondisyon kontra ki ekri nan liv la. Tout pèp la pran angajman pou yo kenbe kontra a tou.
4 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the entrance-hall, to bring forth, out of the temple of Yahweh, all the vessels that had been made for Baal and for the Sacred Stem, and for all the army of the heavens, —and he burned them up outside Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Bethel;
Apre sa, Jozyas rele Ilkija, granprèt la, prèt ki te avè l' yo ak sòlda ki te desèvis nan pòt Tanp lan, li ba yo lòd al pran nan Tanp lan tout bagay yo te fè pou Baal, pou Achera ak pou zetwal yo, pote yo deyò. Wa a boule tout bagay sa yo andeyò lavil la, bò fon Sedwon an. Lèfini, li fè pote tout sann yo lavil Betèl.
5 and he put down the idol-priests, whom the kings of Judah had appointed, so that incense might be burned in the high places, in the cities of Judah, and round about Jerusalem, —them also that burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the army of the heavens;
Li revoke tout prèt ansyen wa peyi Jida yo te nonmen pou fè sèvis sou lotèl zidòl yo nan lavil peyi Jida yo ak nan zòn Jerizalèm, tout prèt ki t'ap fè sèvis pou Baal, pou solèy, pou lalin, pou douz gwoup zetwal yo ak pou tout lòt zetwal yo.
6 and he brought forth the Sacred Stem out of the house of Yahweh, outside Jerusalem, into the Kidron ravine, and burned it in the Kidron ravine, and crushed it to powder, —and cast the powder upon the graves of the sons of the people;
Li wete estati Achera, zidòl fanm ki te nan Tanp lan, li fè yo pote l' andeyò lavil la nan fon Sedwon. Li boule l', li kraze l' fè l' tounen pousyè, l' al simen pousyè a nan simityè pèp la.
7 and he brake down the houses of the male devotees, which were in the house of Yahweh, —where the women did weave houses to the Sacred Stem;
Li demoli tout kay kote mesyedam k'ap fè jennès pou zidòl yo te rete nan Tanp Seyè a. Se la medam yo te konn fè twal pou estati Achera a tou.
8 and be brought in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where, the priests, had burned incense, from Geba unto Beer-sheba, —and brake down the high places of the gates, that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which were on one’s left hand, in the gate of the city;
Lèfini, li fè tout prèt ki te rete nan lavil peyi Jida yo antre lavil Jerizalèm. Li mache nan tout peyi a depi lavil Geba jouk lavil Bècheba, li gate tout kote prèt sa yo te konn fè sèvis pou zidòl yo, kifè yo pa t' ka sèvi pou sa ankò. Li demoli lotèl pòtay yo, ki te bò pòtay Jozye, gouvènè lavil la, te bati sou bò gòch pòtay prensipal la lè w'ap antre.
9 howbeit, the priests of the high places came not up unto the altar of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, save only that they did eat unleavened bread in the midst of their brethren;
Tansèlman, prèt ki te sèvi nan tanp zidòl sa yo pa t' gen dwa sèvi nan Tanp lan ankò, men yo te gen dwa manje pen san ledven ansanm ak lòt prèt parèy yo.
10 and he defiled Topheth, which was in the valley of the son of Hinnom, —so that no man might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire unto Molech;
Wa Jozyas gate Tofèt la tou, yon tanp zidòl ki te nan fon Enon an, konsa pesonn pa t' ka ofri pitit fi osinon pitit gason yo pou boule pou Molòk ankò.
11 and he did away with the horses, which the kings of Judah had devoted to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Yahweh, near the chamber of Nathan-melech the courtier, which was in the suburbs, also, the chariots of the sun, burned he with fire;
Li wete chwal wa Jida yo te mete apa pou sèvis bondye Solèy la. Li boule cha ki te konn sèvi nan sèvis pou solèy la. Se nan yon pyès nan lakou tanp lan yo te ye, toupre pòtay la, bò kay kote Netanmelèk, nèg konfyans wa a, te rete.
12 and, the altars which were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, also the altars which Manasseh had made, in the two courts of the house of Yahweh, did the king break down, —and hurried away from thence, and cast out the powder of them into the Kidron ravine;
Wa Jozyas demoli lotèl wa Jida yo te fè bati sou teras anwo apatman wa Akaz la, ansanm ak lotèl wa Manase te bati nan de lakou Tanp lan. Li kraze lotèl yo an miyèt moso, li voye yo jete nan fon Sedwon.
13 and, the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of destruction, which Solomon king of Israel had built unto Ashtoreth—the abomination of the Zidonians, and unto Chemosh—the abomination of the Moabites, and unto Milcom—the disgusting thing of the sons of Ammon, did the king defile;
Jozyas gate tout lotèl wa Salomon te fè bati sou bò solèy leve lavil Jerizalèm, sou bò sid Mòn Pye Oliv yo, pou fè sèvis pou Astate, vye zidòl peyi Sidon an, pou Kemòch, vye zidòl peyi Moab la, ak Milkòm, vye zidòl peyi Amon an.
14 and he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Sacred Stems, —and filled their place with human bones:
Wa Jozyas kraze Poto Wòch yo, li koupe estati Achera, zidòl fanm lan. Li kouvri tout kote yo te ye a ak zosman moun.
15 moreover also, the altar that was in Bethel, the high place which Jeroboam son of Nebat made, wherewith he caused, Israel, to sin, —even that altar, and the high place, brake he down, —and burned the high place, crushing it to powder, and burned a Sacred Stem.
Jozyas demoli lotèl ak tanp zidòl wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, te bati lavil Betèl la tou. Se Jewoboram sa a ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal. Li kraze lotèl la, li fè wòch yo tounen poud. Li boule estati Achera a.
16 And, when Josiah turned, and saw the graves which were there, in the mount, he sent and took the bones out of the graves, and burned upon the altar, and defiled it, —according to the word of Yahweh, which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
Lèfini, Jozyas voye je l' sou ti mòn lan, li wè yon bann tonm. Li fè detere zosman yo pou boule yo sou lotèl la. Se konsa li gate lotèl la, jan Seyè a te fè pwofèt la di l' la lè Jewoboram te kanpe bò lotèl la pandan fèt la. Apre sa, Jozyas voye je l' gade ankò, li wè tonm pwofèt ki te fè konnen bagay sa yo gen pou rive a.
17 Then said he—What is yonder erection, which I do see? And the men of the city said unto him—The grave of the man of God, who came in out of Judah, and proclaimed these things, which thou hast done, concerning the altar of Bethel.
Li mande: —Ki gwo tonm mwen wè laba a: Moun Betèl yo reponn: —Se tonm pwofèt ki te soti peyi Jida vin fè nou konnen sa monwa t'ap vin fè lotèl Betèl la.
18 And he said—Let him rest, let, no man, disturb his bones. So they let his bones rest, with the bones of the prophet who came in out of Samaria.
Jozyas di: —Bon. Kite l' jan li ye a! Piga pesonn manyen zosman li yo. Se konsa yo respekte zosman li yo ansanm ak zosman pwofèt ki te soti lavil Samari a.
19 Moreover also, all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made, so as to provoke Yahweh to anger, did Josiah remove, —and he did to them according to all the doings which he had done in Bethel;
Nan tout lavil peyi Izrayèl yo, wa Jozyas demoli tout kay zidòl wa peyi Izrayèl yo te fè bati epi ki te lakòz Seyè a te fache anpil. Li fè yo tou sa li te fè tanp zidòl lavil Betèl yo.
20 and he sacrificed all the priests of the high places, who were there, by the altars, and burned human bones thereupon, —and returned to Jerusalem.
Li mete men sou tout prèt zidòl li te jwenn la yo, li touye yo sou lotèl yo. Lèfini, li boule zosman moun sou yo. Apre sa, li tounen tounen l' lavil Jerizalèm.
21 Then did the king command all the people, saying, Keep ye a passover unto Yahweh, your God, —such as is written in this book of the covenant.
Wa Jozyas bay pèp la lòd pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan pou fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye yo a, jan sa ekri nan Liv Kontra a.
22 Surely there had not been held such a passover as this, from the days of the Judges who judged Israel, —nor all the days of the kings of Israel, and the kings of Judah;
Yo pa t' janm fete fèt Delivrans lan konsa depi lè jij chèf yo t'ap gouvènen peyi a, ni pandan reny tout wa peyi Izrayèl yo ak tout wa peyi Jida yo.
23 save only, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, when this passover was held unto Yahweh, in Jerusalem.
Se sèlman sou reny wa Jozyas yo fete fèt Delivrans lan konsa lavil Jerizalèm pou Seyè a. Lè sa a, wa a t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi a.
24 Moreover also, them who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the household gods, and the manufactured gods, and the abominations which were to be seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, did Josiah consume, —that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Yahweh.
Jozyas fè disparèt tout divinò ak tout moun ki konn rele mò, tout estati zidòl wogatwa ak lòt vye zidòl degoutan, ak tout lòt vye bagay yo te konn wè nan tout peyi Jida ak nan lavil Jerizalèm. Li fè sa pou l' te ka kenbe kòmandman ak prensip ki ekri nan liv Lalwa Ilkija, prèt la, te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.
25 And, like him, was no king, before him, who turned unto Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, —neither, after him, arose one, like him.
Ni anvan l', ni apre l', pa t' janm gen yon wa tankou l' ki te sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li, ak tout nanm li, ak tout kouraj li, jan lalwa Moyiz mande l' la.
26 Howbeit, Yahweh turned not away from the glow of his great anger, wherewith his anger glowed against Judah—because of all the provocations wherewith, Manasseh, had provoked him.
Men malgre sa, Seyè a te move toujou sou pèp peyi Jida a depi lè li te fache sou Manase pou sa l' te fè a.
27 So Yahweh said: Even Judah, will I remove from my presence, as I have removed Israel, —and will reject this city, which I had chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house as to which I had said, My Name, shall be, there.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè a di: —Mwen pral wete moun peyi Jida yo devan je m' menm jan m' te fè l' pou moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Se mwen ki te chwazi lavil Jerizalèm. Enben, m' pral voye l' jete ansanm ak Tanp mwen te di se la m'ap rete a.
28 Now, the rest of the story of Josiah, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Tout rès istwa Jozyas la ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa Jida yo.
29 In his days, came up Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt, against the king of Assyria, unto the river Euphrates, —and, when King Josiah went against him, he slew him at Megiddo, as soon as he saw him.
Se sou reny Jozyas, farawon Neko, wa peyi Lejip, te moute nan direksyon larivyè Lefrat pou l' al bay wa peyi Lasiri a yon koutmen. Wa Jozyas soti al kontre l' pou anpeche li pase. Rive bò lavil Megido, wa Neko wè l', li touye l'.
30 And his servants conveyed him in a chariot, dead, from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre, —and the people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made, him, king, in his father’s stead.
Ofisye lame wa Jozyas yo pran kadav la, yo mete l' sou yon cha soti Megido, yo mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm kote yo antere l' nan kavo li. Apre sa, pèp la pran Joakaz, pitit Jozyas, yo mete l' apa devan Bondye pou l' sèvi wa nan plas papa l'.
31 Twenty-three years old, was Jehoahaz when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, of Libnah.
Joakaz te gen venntwazan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa. Manman l' te rele Amoutal. Se te pitit fi Jeremi, moun lavil Libna.
32 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his, fathers, had done.
Men li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou zansèt li yo.
33 And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, —and he laid a fine upon the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Farawon Neko fèmen l' nan prizon lavil Ribla nan zòn Amat, pou li pa gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm anko. Lè sa a tou, farawon an fè peyi Jida soumèt devan l'. Li fòse peyi a ba li sètmil senksan (7.500) liv ajan ak swasannkenz liv lò.
34 And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim son of Josiah king, instead of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, —and, Jehoahaz, took he away, so he entered Egypt, and died there.
Apre sa, li pran Elyakim, pitit Jozyas, li mete l' wa nan plas papa l'. Lè sa a, li chanje non Elyakim, li rele l' Jojakim. Lèfini, li pran Joakaz, li mennen l' nan peyi Lejip. Se la Joakaz mouri.
35 And, the silver and the gold, did Jehoiakim give unto Pharaoh, howbeit he assessed the land, that he might give the silver at the bidding of Pharaoh, —every man, according to his assessment, exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, that he might give it to Pharaoh-necoh.
Jojakim bay farawon Neko tout ajan ak tout lò li te mande a. Pou l' te ka jwenn yo, li te fè chak moun nan peyi a bay dapre sa yo genyen. Se konsa li te fòse pèp la bay ajan ak lò farawon Neko te mande a.
36 Twenty-five years old, was Jehoiakim when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah, of Rumah.
Jojakim te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan onzan. Manman l' te rele Zebida. Se te pitit fi Pedaja, moun lavil Wouma.
37 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his fathers, had done.
Men li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou zansèt li yo.
