Chronicles II 29
1 And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.
Ezekyas te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Abija. Se te pitit fi Zakari.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.
Ezekyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a tankou David, zansèt li a, te fè l'.
3 And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
Ezekyas te gen yon mwa depi li te wa, lè li louvri tout pòt nan Tanp Seyè a. Li fè repare yo.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,
Lèfini, li fè chache tout prèt yo ak moun Levi yo, li reyini yo sou lakou ki bay sou bò solèy leve nan Tanp lan.
5 and said to them, Hear, you Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.
Li di yo: -Nou menm fanmi Levi yo, koute sa m'ap di nou: mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Mete Tanp Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, nan kondisyon pou yo ka fè sèvis ladan l' pou li. Wete tout vye bagay yo te mete ladan l' kifè li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a.
6 For our fathers have revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.
Zansèt nou yo pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak Bondye. Yo te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, yo vire do ba li. Yo pa t' okipe Tanp kote Seyè a rete a ankò. Yo pa gade l' menm!
7 And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole burnt offerings in the holy [place] to the God of Israel.
Yo kondannen tout pòt nan Tanp lan, yo kite lanp yo mouri, yo sispann boule lansan, yo sispann boule bèt nan Tanp lan pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
8 And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
Se poutèt sa Seyè a te fache anpil sou peyi Jida ak sou lavil Jerizalèm. Tout moun te sezi, tout moun te pè lè yo wè sa ki rive yo, tout moun t'ap pase yo nan betiz, tankou nou wè l' nou menm ak pwòp je nou tou.
9 And, behold, your fathers have been struck with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.
Yo touye papa nou yo nan lagè. Yo fè madanm ak pitit nou yo prizonye.
10 Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath from us.
Se konsa mwen pran desizyon jòdi a pou m' pase yon kontra ak Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou li ka pa janm move sou nou ankò.
11 And now be not lacking [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense to him.
Koulye a, pitit mwen yo, souke kò nou. Se nou menm Seyè a te chwazi pou toujou kanpe devan l', pou sèvi l', pou fè travay li, pou boule lansan pou li.
12 Then the Levites rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.
Men moun Levi ki vin pote tèt yo an premye: Nan branch fanmi Keyat la, se te Makat, pitit Amasayi ak Joèl, pitit Azarya. Nan branch fanmi Merari a, se te Kich, pitit Abdi ak Azarya, pitit Jealelèl. Nan branch fanmi Gèchon an, se te Joak, pitit Zimna ak Edèn, pitit Joak.
13 And of the sons of Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:
Nan branch fanmi Elizafan an, se te Chimri ak Jeiyèl. Nan branch fanmi Asaf la, se te Zekaraja ak Matanya.
14 and of the sons of Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.
Nan branch fanmi Eyman an, se te Jeiyèl ak Chimeyi. Nan branch fanmi Jedoutoun lan, se te Chemaja ak Ouziyèl.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.
Mesye sa yo reyini tout fanmi yo, yo fè sèvis pou yo ka nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye. Lèfini, yo antre nan Tanp lan pou mete l' nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye, jan wa a te ba yo lòd la, dapre sa ki nan lalwa Seyè a.
16 And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.
Prèt yo antre anndan Tanp lan pou mete l' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Yo pran tout vye bagay yo jwenn ladan l', yo pote yo deyò nan lakou Tanp lan. Moun Levi yo menm ranmase yo nan lakou a, yo al jete yo nan ravin Sedwon an.
17 And [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].
Yo konmanse travay la premye jou premye mwa a. Sou wit jou, yo te rive anndan kote ki apa pou Bondye nan Tanp lan. Yo travay pandan wit jou ankò. Sou sèzyèm jou mwa a yo te fini nèt ak travay pou mete Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis Bondye ankò.
18 And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole burnt offering, and its vessels, and the table of show-bread, and its vessels;
Lè yo fini, moun Levi yo ale lakay wa Ezekyas, yo di l': -Monwa, nou fin travay la, nou mete tout kay Seyè a, lotèl pou boule ofrann yo ak tout batri ki mache avè l' yo, tab pou pen yo mete apa pou Seyè a ak tout batri pa l' yo tou, nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye ankò.
19 and all the vessels which king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
Nou pran tout veso wa Akaz te detounen yo pandan tout tan li te vire do bay Bondye a, nou repare yo, nou mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye ankò. Koulye a, yo tout devan lotèl Seyè a.
20 And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, wa Ezekyas leve, li reyini tout chèf lavil la, li moute ak yo nan Tanp Seyè a.
21 And he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to the altar of the Lord.
Yo mennen sèt ti towo, sèt belye mouton, sèt ti mouton, sèt bouk kabrit, yo ofri yo pou peye pou sa fanmi wa a ak tout moun pèp Jida yo te fè ki mal ak pou sa moun te fè ki mal nan Tanp lan. Wa a mande prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo, pou yo touye bèt yo sou lotèl Seyè a.
22 And they killed the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they killed the lambs, and poured the blood round the altar.
Prèt yo touye towo yo anvan, yo ranmase tout san an nan yon veso, yo al vide l' sou lotèl la. Apre sa, yo touye belye mouton yo, yo al vide san yo sou lotèl la. Apre sa ankò, yo touye ti mouton yo, yo al vide san yo sou lotèl la tou.
23 And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon them.
Lè yo fini, yo mennen bouk kabrit yo te ofri pou peche yo devan wa a ansanm ak lòt moun ki te la yo pou yo mete men yo sou tèt bèt yo.
24 And the priests killed them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole burnt offering, and the sin-offering [are] for all Israel.
Lè yo fin fè sa, prèt yo touye bouk kabrit yo, yo vide san yo sou lotèl la tankou yon ofrann pou peche yo. Yo ofri yo bay Bondye pou mande padon pou peche tout pèp Izrayèl la, paske wa a te bay lòd pou yo te boule ofrann lan pou tout pèp Izrayèl la.
25 And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.
Wa Ezekyas mete moun Levi nan Tanp Seyè a avèk senbal, bandjo ak gita, dapre regleman David, Gad, pwofèt wa a ansanm ak pwofèt Natan te bay, paske tout lòd Seyè a vle bay, se nan bouch pwofèt li yo li toujou mete yo.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Moun Levi yo al nan plas yo ak enstriman mizik David yo. Prèt yo te la tou ak twonpèt yo.
27 And Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole burnt offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole burnt offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] the instruments of David king of Israel.
Ezekyas bay lòd pou yo boule ofrann yo nèt sou lotèl la. Lè yo konmanse seremoni an, pèp la pran chante pou Seyè a, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt anmenmtan yo t'ap jwe lòt enstriman mizik David, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole burnt sacrifice had been completely offered.
Tout moun ki te la yo mete ajenou, mizisyen yo t'ap chante, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt pandan tout seremoni boule a.
29 And when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.
Lè yo fin boule ofrann yo sou lotèl la, wa a ak tout moun ki te la yo mete ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Bondye.
30 And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.
Apre sa, wa Ezekyas ak lòt chèf yo mande moun Levi yo pou yo chante pou Seyè a chante David ak pwofèt Asaf te ekri pou fè lwanj Seyè a. Se konsa tout moun t'ap chante ak kè kontan, antan yo te ajenou ak tèt yo bese jouk atè.
31 Then Ezekias answered and said, Now you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole burnt offerings.
Lè sa a, Ezekyas di pèp la: -Koulye a nou menm ki mete tèt nou apa pou fè sèvis Seyè a, pwoche non! Pote ofrann nou ansanm ak bèt pou yo touye pou di Bondye mèsi. Se konsa tout pèp la pote bèt pou yo touye ak lòt ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Gen ladan yo ki te ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Bondye paske yo te vle fè l'.
32 And the number of the whole burnt offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
Yo mennen swasanndis towo, san belye mouton ak desan (200) ti mouton pou yo te boule nèt pou Seyè a.
33 And the consecrated calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.
Konsa tou, yo ofri sisan (600) towo, twamil (3.000) mouton pou yo touye pou Bondye.
34 But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole burnt offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [themselves] than the priests.
Men prèt yo pa t' anpil, yo pa t' ka kòche tout bèt yo te ofri pou boule nèt yo. Se moun Levi yo, moun menm fanmi ak yo, ki te vin ede yo fin fè travay la, jouk lòt prèt yo te fin mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a, paske moun Levi yo te pi prese mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a pase prèt yo.
35 And the whole burnt offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole burnt sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.
Lèfini, san konte tout bèt yo te touye pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, prèt yo te gen pou ofri bay Bondye grès lòt bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon ak ofrann diven ki mache ak bèt yo boule nèt pou Seyè a. Se konsa yo konmanse ankò ap fè sèvis pou Bondye nan Tanp lan.
36 And Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
Wa Ezekyas ak tout pèp la te kontan deske Bondye te penmèt yo fè tou sa san pèdi twòp tan.
