2 Chronicles 34
1 Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem.
Jozyas te gen witan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan tranteyennan.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father: he declined not, neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
Jozyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Li mache pye pou pye dèyè David, zansèt li a. Li fè tankou l' nan tou sa l'ap fè, san li pa janm fè sa ki mal.
3 And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things.
Jozyas t'ap mache sou witan depi li te wa lè li konmanse chache konnen volonte Bondye David, zansèt li a. Lè sa a li te yon jenn gason toujou. Li t'ap mache sou douzan depi li te wa lè li konmanse fè detwi tout tanp zidòl, tout pòtre Achera, tout lòt estati an bwa ak an bwonz nan peyi Jida ak nan lavil Jerizalèm.
4 And they broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and be cut down the groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them.
Li fè yo demoli devan je li tout lotèl kote yo te fè sèvis pou Baal yo. Li fè yo kraze tout recho kote yo te boule lansan sou lotèl yo. Li fè yo kraze an miyèt moso pòtre Achera ak pòtre tout lòt zidòl ak estati an bwonz yo. Apre sa, yo fè yo tounen poud, yo simen poud la sou tonm moun ki te konn fè sèvis pou yo.
5 And he burnt the bones of the priests on the altars of the idols, and he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem.
Li boule zosman prèt zidòl yo sou lotèl kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou yo a. Se konsa li mete tout peyi Jida a ak lavil Jerizalèm nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
6 And in the cities of Manasses, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Nephtali he demolished all.
Li fè menm bagay la tou nan lavil ki nan zòn moun Manase, moun Efrayim, ak moun Simeyon yo rive nan zòn moun Neftali yo ak nan tout ti bouk ki te nan vwazinaj yo.
7 And when he had destroyed the altars, and the groves, and had broken the idols in pieces, and had demolished all profane temples throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
Nan tout peyi Izrayèl la, li fè demoli lotèl yo. Li kraze tout estati Achera yo ak lòt zidòl yo fè yo tounen poud. Yo kraze tout lotèl lansan yo an miyèt moso, lèfini li tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the land, and the temple of the Lord, he sent Saphan the son of Eselias, and Maasias the governor of the city, Joha the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
Lè sa a, wa Jozyas t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen, li t'ap mete peyi a ansanm ak Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye. Wa a rele twa moun: Chafan, pitit gason Asalya a, Maseya, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joa, pitit gason Joakaz, sekretè wa a. Li ba yo lòd al repare Tanp Seyè a, Bondye li a.
9 And they came to Helcias the high priest: and received of him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasses, and Ephraim, and all the remnant of Israel, and from all Juda, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Mesye yo al jwenn Ilkija, granprèt la. Yo pote ba li tout lajan yo te ranmase nan Tanp lan, lajan moun Levi ki desèvis nan papòt Tanp lan te ranmase nan men moun Efrayim, moun Manase ak lòt moun peyi Izrayèl yo, ansanm ak sa yo te ranmase nan men moun Jida, moun Benjamen ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
10 Which they delivered into the hands of them that were over the workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the temple, and mend all that was weak.
Yo renmèt lajan an nan men mesye ki te reskonsab travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan, pou yo menm yo ka peye moun k'ap travay repare Tanp lan, ki vle di,
11 But they gave it to the artificers, and to the masons, to buy stones out of the quarries, and timber for the couplings of the building, and to rafter the houses, which the kings of Juda had destroyed.
bòs chapant yo ak bòs mason yo, pou yo ka achte wòch taye ak bwa yo bezwen pou sèvi sipò ak ranfò chapant tanp wa Jida yo te kite ap tonbe a.
12 And they did all faithfully. Now the overseers of the workmen were Jahath and Abdias of the sons of Merari, Zacharias and Mosollam of the sons of Caath, who hastened the work: all Levites skillful to play on instruments.
Mesye yo te serye nan travay yo. Te gen kat moun Levi ki t'ap dirije yo. Se te: Joak ak Obadya, moun nan branch fanmi Merari a, Zekaraja ak Mechoulam, moun nan branch fanmi Keyat. Moun Levi ki te konn fè mizik sou enstriman yo
13 But over them that carried burdens for divers uses, were scribes, and masters of the number of the Levites, and porters.
te reskonsab moun ki t'ap bwote materyo yo ak tout lòt ouvriye ki t'ap fè lòt travay yo. Te gen lòt moun Levi ki te reskonsab ekri istwa tou sa k'ap pase. Genyen ki te sekretè, genyen ki t'ap fè pòs nan papòt yo.
14 Now when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Helcias the priest found the book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
Pandan yo t'ap wete lajan yo te mete nan Tanp Seyè a, Ilkija, prèt la, jwenn liv Lalwa Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou pèp la.
15 And he said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord: and he delivered it to him.
Ilkija pale ak Chafan, sekretè a, li di l' li jwenn liv Lalwa a nan Tanp Seyè a. Epi li ba li l'.
16 But he carried the book to the king, and told him, saying: Lo, all that thou hast committed to thy servants, is accomplished.
Chafan pote liv la bay wa a, epi li fè rapò li, li di l' konsa: -Nou fè tou sa ou te ban nou lòd fè.
17 They have gathered together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord: and it is given to the overseers of the artificers, and of the workmen, for divers works.
Yo pran tout lajan ki te nan Tanp Seyè a, yo renmèt li nan men moun ki reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan ak moun k'ap fè travay yo.
18 Moreover Helcias the priest gave me this book. And he read it before the king.
Lèfini, Chafan di wa a: -Ilkija, prèt la, te ban m' yon liv. Chafan li liv la pou wa a.
19 And when he had heard the words of the law, he rent his garments:
Lè wa a tande pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la, li chire rad sou li tèlman li te sezi.
20 And he commanded Helcias, and Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Abdon the son of Micha, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaa the king’s servant, saying:
Lèfini, li fè rele Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, pitit gason Chafan an, Abdon, pitit Mikaja a, Chafan, sekretè a, ak Asaja, nèg konfyans wa a. Li ba yo lòd sa a:
21 Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel, and Juda, concerning all the words of this book, which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord hath fallen upon us, because our fathers have not kept the words of the Lord, to do all things that are written in this book.
-Ale chache konnen sa Seyè a vle nou fè, mwen menm ansanm ak tout rès pèp li a ki rete nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Izrayèl la. Chache konnen sa pou n' fè ak pawòl ki nan liv nou jwenn lan. Seyè a move anpil sou nou, paske zansèt nou yo pa t' koute pawòl Seyè a, ni yo pa t' fè tou sa ki ekri nan liv la.
22 And Helcias and they that were sent with him by the king, went to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellum the son of Thecuath, the son of Hasra keeper of the wardrobe: who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second part: and they spoke to her the words above mentioned.
Se konsa, Ilkija ansanm ak lòt mesye wa a te chwazi yo al kay Oulda, yon pwofèt fanm ki te rete nan katye yo te fèk bati lavil Jerizalèm lan. Oulda sa a te madanm yon nonm yo te rele Chaloum, pitit Tokeyat, pitit pitit Asra a, ki te reskonsab rad yo sèvi nan Tanp lan. Yo esplike Oulda tou sa ki rive.
23 And she answered them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Tell the man that sent you to me:
Oulda di yo konsa: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Tounen al di moun ki voye nou bò kote m' lan
24 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, and all the curses that are written in this book which they read before the king of Juda.
men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Mwen pral voye yon malè sou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak sou tout moun li yo, jan sa ekri nan liv yo li pou wa peyi Jida a.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath shall fall upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo vire do ban mwen. Yo fè sèvis pou lòt bondye. Avèk tout zak sa yo, mwen move anpil sou lavil Jerizalèm. Kòlè m' poko ap pase.
26 But as to the king of Juda that sent you to beseech the Lord, thus shall you say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Because thou hast heard the words of this book,
Men sa n'a di wa peyi Jida a ki voye nou vin konnen volonte Bondye a. Wi, men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di l': Ou tande sa ki ekri nan liv la.
27 And thy heart was softened. and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of God for the things that are spoken against this place, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and reverencing my face, hast rent thy garments, and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.
Sa fè kè ou fè ou mal, ou desann ou devan mwen lè ou tande deklarasyon mwen fè sou lavil sa a ak sou tout moun li yo. Wi, lè ou tande sa, ou chire rad sou ou, dlo koule nan je ou. Se poutèt sa mwen menm tou mwen tande ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap di ou sa.
28 For now I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be brought to thy tomb in peace: and thy eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and the inhabitants thereof. They therefore reported to the king all that she had said.
Ou menm, w'ap mouri nan kabann ou, y'ap antere ou nan menm kavo ak zansèt ou yo. Ou p'ap gen tan wè malè m'ap voye sou lavil Jerizalèm ak sou moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Mesye yo tounen rapòte mesaj la bay wa Jozyas.
29 And he called together all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem.
Lè sa a, wa a voye misyon bay tout chèf fanmi nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a, pou yo reyini ansanm avè l'.
30 And went up to the house of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people from the least to the greatest. And the king read in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, all the words of the book.
Apre sa, wa a moute nan Tanp Seyè a ansanm ak prèt yo, moun Levi 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 nan liv Kontra yo te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.
31 And standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the things that were written in that book which he had read.
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 lalwa Bondye yo ak tout kè li ak tout nanm li, lèfini pou l' kenbe tout kondisyon kontra ki ekri nan liv la.
32 And he adjured all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to do the same: and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of the Lord the God of their fathers.
Apre sa, wa a fè tout moun ki te lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo pran menm angajman an tou. Depi lè sa a, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo mache dapre kontra yo te pase ak Bondye zansèt yo a.
33 And Josias took away all the abominations out of all the countries of the children of Israel: and made all that were left in Israel, to serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived they departed not from the Lord the God of their fathers.
Jozyas fè disparèt tout vye zidòl sal nan peyi ki te pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li mete tout moun ki te rete nan peyi Izrayèl la nan obligasyon pou yo sèvi Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Se konsa pandan tout tan Jozyas te vivan an, tout pèp la te kenbe pye Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, fèm.
