Kings IV 11

1 And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.

Lè Atali, manman Okozyas, vin konnen yo te touye pitit li a, li bay lòd pou yo touye tout rès fanmi wa a.

2 And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from amongst the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.

Men lè yo t'ap touye pitit wa yo, Jocheba, pitit fi wa Joram, sè menm papa ak Okozyas la, te pran Joas, yonn nan pitit gason Okozyas yo, li kache l' ansanm ak moun ki te sèvi l' nouris la nan yon chanm kote moun dòmi nan tanp lan. Yo pa kite Atali wè Joas. Se konsa Joas pa mouri.

3 And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.

Joas rete kache nan tanp lan ansanm ak moun ki te sèvi l' nouris la pandan sizan. Atali menm t'ap gouvènen peyi a.

4 And in the seventh year Jodae 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 Jodae showed them the king's son.

Sou setyèm lanne a, Jeojada, prèt la, fè chache tout kaptenn gadkò wa a ak tout chèf gad palè yo, li fè yo vin jwenn li nan tanp lan. La, li pran dizon ak yo, li fè yo fè sèman epi li moutre yo Joas, pitit wa a.

5 And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you shall do.

Apre sa, li ba yo lòd sa a: —Men sa nou pral fè! N'ap separe moun k'ap vin pran pòs jou repo a an twa gwoup menm fòs, yon gwoup va fè pòs nan palè wa a,

6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep you the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep you the guard of the house.

yon lòt gwoup va kanpe bò pòtay Sou a, dènye gwoup la va rete bò pòtay ki dèyè lòt gad yo. Y'a moute lagad nan palè wa a yonn apre lòt.

7 And there [shall be] two parties amongst you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.

De gwoup gad k'ap leve pòs jou repo a va moute gad nan tanp Seyè a pou pwoteje wa a.

8 And do you compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.

N'a fè yon gwo wonn ak wa a nan mitan. N'a kenbe zam nou nan men nou. Si yon moun ta vle pase nan mitan nou se pou nou touye l'. Kote wa a va fè, n'a fè avè l'.

9 And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.

Kaptenn yo fè tou sa Jeojada, prèt la, te ba yo lòd fè a. Yo pran tout gad yo, ni sa ki t'ap pran pòs jou repo a, ni sa ki t'ap leve pòs jou sa a tou, y' al jwenn Jeojada, prèt la.

10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.

Jeojada pran frenn ak plak pwotèj wa David yo ki te nan Tanp Seyè a, li bay kaptenn gad yo kenbe.

11 And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.

Gad yo menm, yo chak ak zam yo nan men yo, li ranje yo tout devan Tanp lan depi sou bò dwat rive sou bò gòch, yo fè wonn lotèl la pou pwoteje wa a.

12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.

Lè sa a, Jeojada fè pitit wa a soti. Li mete kouwòn lan sou tèt li, li renmèt li kontra Bondye a. Li vide lwil sou tèt li epi li deklare Joas wa. Tout moun bat bravo, yo pran rele: Viv wa a!

13 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.

Lè Atali tande tout bri gad yo ak pèp la t'ap fè, li kouri al nan tanp lan kote moun yo te ye a.

14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia tore her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.

Li wè wa a kanpe bò gwo poto a, jan sa te toujou fèt la. Tout chèf yo ak tout mizisyen yo te bò kote wa a, tout pèp la te kontan, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt. Lè Atali wè sa, kè l' kase. Li chire rad sou li, li rele: —Men yo moute yon konplo sou do m!

15 And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.

Lamenm Jeojada, prèt la, bay kaptenn ki t'ap kòmande lame a lòd sa a: —Pase nan mitan de ran sòlda yo avè l', mennen l' deyò. Touye nenpòt moun nou wè k'ap swiv li. Prèt la pa t' vle pou yo touye l' nan Tanp Seyè a.

16 And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.

Yo pran Atali, yo mennen l' nan palè wa a bò Pòtay Chwal yo. Se la yo touye l'.

17 And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.

Apre sa, Jeojada, prèt la, pase yon kontra ant Seyè a ak wa a ansanm ak pèp la. Dapre kontra a, yo rekonèt se pèp Seyè a yo ye. Li pase yon kontra tou ant wa a ak pèp la.

18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they killed Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.

Lèfini, tout pèp la al nan tanp Baal la, yo demoli l'. Yo kraze tout lotèl yo ak tout estati yo byen kraze. Yo touye Matan, prèt Baal la, devan lotèl yo. Jeojada mete gad veye Tanp Seyè a.

19 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.

Apre sa, li menm, kaptenn yo, gad wa yo, gad palè yo ak tout pèp la, yo soti nan Tanp lan ansanm ak wa a, y' ale nan palè wa a. Yo pase antre nan pòt gad yo. Joas al chita sou fotèy wa a.

20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they killed Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.

Tout pèp la te kontan anpil. Yo te touye Atali ak kout nepe nan palè wa a. Apre sa, pa t' gen yon ti bri nan tout lavil la.

21 Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.

Joas te gen sètan lè l' moute wa.
