2 Kings 23
1 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Alò wa a te voye rasanble vè li menm tout ansyen Juda ak Jérusalem yo.
2 And the king went up to the house of the LORD, 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 was found in the house of the LORD.
Wa a te monte kote kay SENYÈ a ak tout mesye Juda yo, tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem avèk li yo, prèt yo ak pwofèt yo ak tout pèp la, ni gran, ni piti; epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl a liv akò a ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
3 And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all [his] heart, and all [his] soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant.
Wa a te kanpe akote pilye a pou te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a, pou mache apre SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman avèk temwayaj li yo avèk règleman li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou akonpli pawòl akò a ki te ekri nan liv sa a. Epi tout pèp la te antre nan akò a.
4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.
Konsa, wa a te kòmande Hilkija, wo prèt la e prèt a dezyèm lòd yo avèk gadyen pòtay yo pou mennen fè sòti deyò nan tanp SENYÈ a tout veso ki te fèt pou Baal yo, pou Astarté ak pou tout lame syèl la. Konsa, li te brile yo deyò Jérusalem nan chan Cédron an e li te pote sann yo jis rive Béthel.
5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
Li te mete deyò tout prèt zidòl ke wa Juda yo te chwazi pou brile lansan nan wo plas yo nan vil Juda yo ak nan andwa Jérusalem yo. Anplis, sila ki te brile lansan a Baal yo, a solèy la, lalin nan, avèk tout gwoup zetwal yo ak tout lame syèl yo.
6 And he brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the common people.
Li te fè mete deyò Astarté la soti lakay SENYÈ a rive Jérusalem nan flèv Cédron an, li te moulen l an poud nèt e li te jete pousyè a nan simityè a pèp la.
7 And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
Osi, li te kraze kay mal pwostitiye sakre ki te lakay SENYÈ a, kote fanm t ap trese bagay yo kwoke pou Astarté yo.
8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he brake down the high places of the gates that were at the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
Epi li te mennen tout prèt yo soti nan tout vil Juda yo, e li te souye wo plas kote prèt yo te konn brile lansan yo, soti Guéba jis rive Beer-Schéba. Li te kraze wo plas pòtay ki te nan antre pòtay Josué a, majistra vil la, ki te bò kote goch pòtay lavil la.
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.
Sepandan, prèt wo plas yo pa t monte nan lotèl SENYÈ a Jérusalem, men yo te manje pen san ledven pami frè yo.
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
Anplis, li te souye Topheth, ki nan vale fis Hinnom an, pou pèsòn pa t kab fè fis li oswa fi li pase nan dife Moloc la.
11 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
Li te retire cheval ke wa a Juda yo te konn bay a solèy la, kote antre kay SENYÈ a, kote chanm Nethan-Mélec la, ofisye a, ki te nan pwovens yo e li te brile cha solèy yo avèk dife.
12 And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king break down, and beat [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
Lotèl ki te sou twati yo, nan wo chanm Achaz ke wa Juda yo te fè a ak lotèl ke Manassé te fè nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ a, wa a te kraze yo. Li te kraze yo e li te jete poud yo nan flèv Cédron an.
13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
Wo plas ki te devan Jérusalem yo, ki te adwat mòn pèdisyon ke Salomon te bati pou Astarté la, abominasyon a Sidonyen yo, avèk Kemosch, abominasyon a fis Ammon yo, wa a te souye yo.
14 And he brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
Li te kraze an mòso pilye sakre yo, li te koupe Astarté yo e li te plen plas yo avèk zo moun.
15 Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he brake down; and he burned the high place and stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah.
Anplis, lotèl ki te Béthel la avèk wo plas ke Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a, menm lotèl sila a avèk wo plas la a li te kraze. Epi li te kraze wòch li yo, li te moulen yo jis yo te fè poud e li te brile Astarté la.
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
Alò, lè Josias te vire gade, li te wè tout simityè ki te sou mòn nan e li te voye pran zo ki te ladann yo, li te brile yo sou lotèl la e te souye li pa pawòl SENYÈ a, ke nonm Bondye a te pwoklame a, sila ki te pwoklame bagay sa yo.
17 Then he said, What monument is that which I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.
Alò, li te di: “Se ki moniman sa a ke m wè la a?” Epi mesye lavil yo te di l: “Li se tonm a nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a pou te pwoklame bagay sa yo ke ou te fè kont lotèl Béthel la.”
18 And he said, Let him be; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
Li te di: “Lese li; pa kite pèsòn deranje zo li.” Konsa, yo te kite zo li yo san deranje avèk zo a pwofèt ki te sòti Samarie a.
19 And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke [the LORD] to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
Anplis, Josias te retire tout kay nan wo plas ki te nan vil Samarie yo, ke wa Israël la te fè pou te pwovoke SENYÈ a, epi li te fè a yo menm sa ke li te fè Béthel la.
20 And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
Tout prèt a wo plas ki te prezan yo, li te touye yo sou lotèl yo, e li te brile zo moun yo sou yo. Konsa, li te retounen Jérusalem.
21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.
Wa a te kòmande tout pèp la. Li te di: “Selebre fèt Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan sa ekri nan liv akò sila a.”
22 Surely there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
Anverite, yon Pak tankou sila a pa t selebre depi nan jou a jij ki te jije Israël yo, ni nan tout jou a wa Israël yo avèk wa Juda yo.
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
Men nan di-zuityèm ane a Wa Josias la, Pak sila a te obsève Jérusalem.
24 Moreover them that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
Anplis, Josias te retire moun ki te konn rele lespri mò yo, avèk bòkò avèk zidòl lakay yo ak tout lòt zidòl avèk tout abominasyon ki te konn wè nan tout peyi Juda a avèk Jérusalem, pou li ta kapab konfime pawòl lalwa ki te ekri nan liv ke Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD 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 there any like him.
Avan li, pa t gen wa tankou li ki te vire vè SENYÈ a avèk tout kè li, avèk tout nanm li e avèk tout fòs li, selon lalwa Moïse la. Ni pa t gen okenn moun tankou li ki te leve apre li.
26 Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
Malgre sa, SENYÈ a pa t kite chalè gran kòlè Li ki te brile kont Juda, akoz tout pwovokasyon avèk sila Manassé te pwovoke Li yo.
27 And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen va retire Juda tou devan zye Mwen, jan mwen te retire Israël la. Mwen va voye jete Jérusalem, vil sila ke M te chwazi a ak tanp sou sila Mwen te di: ‘Non Mwen va la a.’”
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josias yo, avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
29 In his days Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
Nan jou pa li yo, Farawon Néco, wa Égypte la, te monte kont wa Assyrie a nan Rivyè Euphrate la e Wa Josias te ale rankontre li. Epi lè Néco te wè l, li te touye li Méguiddo.
30 And his servants carried 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 the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
Sèvitè li yo te kondwi kadav li a nan yon cha soti Méguiddo pou te mennen li rive Jérusalem, e yo te antere li nan pwòp tonm pa li. Konsa, pèp peyi a te pran Joachaz, fis a Josias la, yo te onksyone li, e yo te fè l wa nan plas papa li.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Joachaz te gen laj a venn-twazan lè l te devni wa a e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Hamuthal, fi a Jérémie an nan Libna.
32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke zansèt li yo te fè.
33 And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Farawon Néco te fèmen li nan prizon nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath pou li pa renye Jérusalem, epi li te enpoze sou peyi a yon amann san talan ajan avèk yon talan lò.
34 And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
Farawon Néco te fè Éliakim, fis a Josias la wa nan plas Josias, papa li e te chanje non li an Jojakim. Men li te mennen Joachaz sòti. Li te mennen li an Égypte e li te mouri la.
35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.
Konsa, Jojakim te bay ajan avèk lò a Farawon, men li te egzije kontribisyon sou peyi a pou l ta kab bay lajan lè Farawon te mande li. Li te egzije ajan avèk lò a soti nan pèp peyi a, chak moun selon kalkil valè pa li, pou vèse bay a Farawon Néco.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
Jojakim te gen laj venn-senkan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye onzan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Zébudda, fi a Pedaja a nan Ruma.
37 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa zansèt li yo te konn fè yo.
