2 Chronicles 24
1 Seven years old, was Joash when he began to reign, and, forty years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
Joas te gen sètan lè li moute wa. Li pase karantan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a. Manman l' te yon moun lavil Bècheba ki te rele Zibya.
2 And Joash did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, -all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Joas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a toutotan Jeojada, prèt la, pa t' ankò mouri.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives, —and he begat sons and daughters.
Jeojada te marye wa a ak de madanm ki ba li pitit gason ak pitit fi.
4 And it came to pass, after this, that it was near the heart of Joash to renew the house of Yahweh.
Kèk tan apre sa, Joas pran desizyon pou l' repare Tanp Seyè a.
5 So he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said unto them—Go ye out unto the cities of Judah, and gather out of all Israel silver to repair the house of your God, year by year, and, ye, shall hasten the matter, —but the Levites hastened it not.
Li reyini prèt yo ak moun Levi yo, li di yo: -Ale nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo. Ranmase lajan nan men tout pèp la pou repare Tanp lan chak lanne. Souke kò nou, pa mize. Men moun Levi yo pa t' prese.
6 Then the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites, to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the convocation of Israel, —for the tent of testimony?
Lè sa a, wa a fè rele Jeojada, granprèt la, li di l' konsa: -Poukisa ou pa rele dèyè moun Levi yo pou yo ranmase nan men moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo lajan Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la te dakò pou yo egzije pèp la bay pou Tanp Randevou a?
7 For, as for Athaliah the Lawless, her sons, brake up the House of God, —moreover, all the hallowed things of the house of Yahweh, offered they unto the Baalim.
Atali ki te yon fanm vèmen ansanm ak moun pa l' yo te antre fè dega nan Tanp Seyè a. Yo te pran bagay yo te mete apa pou Bondye nan Tanp lan pou fè sèvis pou Baal li yo.
8 So the king bade [them], and they made a certain chest, —and set it in the gate of the house of Yahweh, outside.
Lè sa a wa a bay lòd pou yo fè yon gwo bwat pou yo mete bò pòtay Tanp lan, sou deyò.
9 And they made a proclamation, throughout Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in unto Yahweh the tribute of Moses the servant of God, laid upon Israel in the desert.
Apre sa, li voye fè konnen nan tout lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida pou tout moun pote bay Seyè a lajan Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te mande pèp Izrayèl la bay lè yo te nan dezè a.
10 And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, —and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
Sa te fè tout chèf yo ak tout pèp la kontan. Yo pote lajan taks la, yo mete l' nan bwat la jouk li rive plen.
11 And it came to pass, what time the chest was brought into the office of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they had seen that abundant was the silver, that the scribe of the king came in, and the officer of the chief priest, and they emptied the chest, and bare it, and put it back in its place, —thus, they did, day by day, and collected silver, in abundance;
Chak jou, moun Levi yo te pote bwat la bay chèf wa a te mete reskonsab pou sa. Lè yo wè bwat la plen, sekretè wa a ak komisè granprèt la te delege pou sa a wete lajan an. Apre sa, yo mete bwat vid la nan plas li ankò. Yo te fè sa chak jou. Konsa yo te ranmase anpil lajan.
12 and the king and Jehoiada gave it unto such as were doing the work of labouring upon the house of Yahweh, and they were hiring masons and carpenters, to renew the house of Yahweh, —moreover also, such as were fashioners of iron and bronze, to repair the house of Yahweh.
Wa a ak Jeojada renmèt lajan an bay moun ki te reskonsab repare Tanp Seyè a. Moun sa yo menm te anplwaye mason ak chapant sou kontra pou repare Tanp Seyè a. Yo te anplwaye bòs ki gen ladrès pou travay fè ak kwiv pou repare Tanp lan tou.
13 So the doers of the work wrought, and the work of restoration went forward, in their hand, —and they caused the house of God to stand forth according to its due proportions, and made it strong.
Tout moun ki te reskonsab travay la mete men. Yo repare Tanp lan, yo mete l' jan l' te ye anvan an, yo fè l' byen solid.
14 And, when they had finished, they brought in before the king and Jehoiada the rest of the silver, and he made it into utensils for the house of Yahweh, utensils of attendance, and bowls and spoons, even utensils of gold and silver. Then were they offering ascending-sacrifices in the house of Yahweh, continually, all the days of Jehoiada.
Lè yo fini ak travay reparasyon an, yo pote rès lò ak rès ajan an renmèt wa a ak Jeojada ki sèvi avèk yo pou fè bagay pou Tanp Seyè a, tankou bòl ak veso yo bezwen lè y'ap fè sèvis, lè y'ap boule bèt yo touye pou Bondye ak tout kalite veso an lò ak an ajan. Pandan tout tan Jeojada te la a, yo pa te sispann boule bèt nèt nan dife nan Tanp Seyè a jan pou yo fè l' la.
15 But Jehoiada waxed old and became satisfied with days, and died, —a hundred and thirty years old, when he died.
Men, Jeojada te fin vye granmoun. Li te gen santrantan lè li mouri.
16 And they buried him in the city of David, with the kings, —because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and his house.
Yo antere l' nan tonm wa yo nan lavil David la, paske li te fè anpil pou pèp Izrayèl la, pou Bondye ak pou Tanp li a.
17 Now, after the death of Jehoiada, came the rulers of Judah, and bowed themselves down unto the king, —then, hearkened the king unto them.
Mouri Jeojada mouri, chèf peyi Jida yo vin jwenn wa a, yo bese tèt jouk atè devan li. Wa a koute konsèy yo.
18 And they forsook the house of Yahweh, God of their fathers, and served the Sacred Stems, and the images, —so there was wrath against Judah and Jerusalem, for this their guilt.
Se konsa pèp la sispann sèvi Bondye zansèt yo nan Tanp Seyè a, yo tanmen fè sèvis pou estati Achera yo ak pou lòt zidòl. Poutèt peche sa a, Seyè a fache anpil sou peyi Jida ak sou lavil Jerizalèm.
19 And he sent among them prophets, to bring them back unto Yahweh, —and they testified against them, but they would not give ear.
Seyè a voye pwofèt pou fè pèp la tounen vin jwenn li, men pèp la derefize koute sa pwofèt yo t'ap di yo.
20 And, the spirit of God, clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he took his stand above the people, —and said unto them, Thus, saith God, Wherefore are, ye, transgressing the commandments of Yahweh, so that ye cannot prosper, because ye have forsaken Yahweh, therefore hath he forsaken you.
Lè sa a, lespri Bondye desann sou Zakari, pitit gason Jeojada, prèt la. li al kanpe yon kote pou tout pèp la wè l', li di yo konsa: -Seyè a, Bondye a mande poukisa nou pa vle swiv kòmandman li yo kifè n'ap rale malè sou nou konsa? Nou vire do ba li, l'ap vire do ban nou tou!
21 So they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones, by the commandment of the king, —in the court of the house of Yahweh.
Men pèp la fè konplo sou do Zakari. Wa a bay lòd pou yo touye l' ak kout wòch nan gran lakou Tanp Seyè a.
22 Thus Joash the king, remembered not, the lovingkindness which Jehoiada his father had done for him, but slew his son, —and, as he died, he said, Yahweh see and require!
Joas te bliye tout byen Jeojada, papa Zakari, te fè pou li, li fè touye Zakari. Anvan Zakari rann dènye souf li, li di byen fò: -Se pou Seyè a wè sa ou fè la a, se pou l' pini ou pou sa!
23 And it came to pass, when the year had gone round, that the force of Syria came up against him, and they entered Judah, and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the rulers of the people, from among the people, —and, all the spoil of them, sent they unto the king of Damascus.
Menm lanne sa a, lè sezon prentan rive, lame peyi Siri a atake wa Joas, yo anvayi peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm. Yo touye tout chèf yo, yo piye peyi a, yo voye tou sa yo te pran bay wa lavil Damas la.
24 Although, with a comparatively few men, came the force of Syria, yet, Yahweh, delivered into their hand an exceeding large force, —because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers, —and, upon Joash, executed they judgments.
Lame peyi Siri a pa t' anpil, men Seyè a te kite l' kraze yon lame ki te plis pase yo lontan paske pèp Jida a te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a. Se konsa Joas t'ap soufri nan men moun Siri yo pou sa l' te fè a.
25 And, when they had departed from him, for they left him with sore diseases, his own servants conspired against him, for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him upon his bed, and he died, —and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet did they not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.
Lè moun Siri yo wete kò yo, yo kite wa a malad grav. De nan chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo fè konplo sou do l' pou yo tire revanj lanmò pitit Jeojada, prèt la. Yo touye wa a sou kabann li. Yo antere l' nan lavil David la, men yo pa mete l' nan tonm wa yo.
26 Now, these, are they that conspired against him, —Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Men non chèf ki te fè konplo a: se te Zabad, pitit gason Chimeya, yon fanm peyi Amon ak Jeozabad, pitit Chimrit, yon fanm peyi Moab.
27 But, as for his sons, and the greatness of the oracle on him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo! there they are written, in the commentary of the Book of Kings, —and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Nan esplikasyon yo bay sou liv wa yo, n'a jwenn istwa pitit gason Joas yo, mesaj pwofèt yo te bay sou li, epi yo rakonte ki jan li te rebati Tanp Bondye a. Se Amasya, pitit Joas la, ki moute wa nan plas li.
