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 laj setan lè l te devni wa, e li te renye pandan karantan Jérusalem, Non manman li te Tsibja soti nan Beer-Schéba.
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 te bon nan zye SENYÈ a pandan tout jou a Jehojada yo, prèt la.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives, —and he begat sons and daughters.
Jehojada te pran de madanm pou li, e li te vin papa a fis ak fi.
4 And it came to pass, after this, that it was near the heart of Joash to renew the house of Yahweh.
Li te vin rive apre sa ke Joas te pran desizyon pou restore lakay SENYÈ 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 te rasanble prèt yo avèk Levit yo, e li te di yo: “Ale antre nan tout vil Juda yo e rekeyi lajan pami tout Israël pou repare lakay SENYÈ nou an chak ane. Epi fè sa byen vit.” Men Levit yo pa t aji avèk vitès.
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?
Akoz sa, wa a te rele Jehojada, chèf prèt la. Li te mande li: “Poukisa nou pa t egzije Levit yo pou pote soti Juda avèk Jérusalem taks etabli pa Moïse la, sèvitè SENYÈ a sou asanble Israël la pou tant temwayaj la?”
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.
Paske fis a Athalie yo, ki te tèlman mechan, te antre kase lakay Bondye a. Anplis yo te sèvi ak bagay sen nan kay yo pou sèvi Baal.
8 So the king bade [them], and they made a certain chest, —and set it in the gate of the house of Yahweh, outside.
Konsa, wa a te pase lòd e yo te fè yon bwat kès pou te mete li deyò akote pòtay lakay SENYÈ a.
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.
Yo te fè yon pwoklamasyon nan Juda avèk Jérusalem pou pote bay SENYÈ a, taks Moïse la, sèvitè Bondye a, ki te etabli nan dezè a pou Israël la.
10 And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, —and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
Tout ofisye yo avèk tout pèp la te rejwi. Yo te pote taks pa yo e yo te depoze yo nan kès la jiskaske yo te ranpli l.
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;
Li te vin rive ke nenpòt lè Levit yo te pote kès la anndan kote ofisye wa a yo, e lè yo te wè ke te gen anpil lajan, ke grefye a wa a avèk ofisye a chèf prèt la te vin vide kès la, pran l e remete li nan plas li. Konsa, yo te fè chak jou, e yo te rekeyi 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 avèk Jehojada te bay li a sila ki te fè travay nan sèvis lakay SENYÈ a. Yo te anplwaye mason avèk chapant pou restore lakay SENYÈ a, ak ouvriye, fè, avèk bwonz pou repare lakay SENYÈ a.
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.
Konsa, ouvriye yo te travay, epi èv reparasyon an te avanse nan men yo. Yo te restore lakay Bondye a selon plan li, e yo te ranfòse li.
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 te fini, yo te mennen rès lajan an devan wa a avèk Jehojada. Li te fonn pou fè zouti pou lakay SENYÈ a, zouti pou sèvis la ak ofrann brile a, avèk po ak zouti an lò avèk ajan. Epi yo te ofri ofrann brile yo lakay SENYÈ a san rete pandan tout jou a Jehojada yo.
15 But Jehoiada waxed old and became satisfied with days, and died, —a hundred and thirty years old, when he died.
Alò, lè Jehojada te rive a yon gwo laj byen mi, li te vin mouri. Li te gen san-trantan lè l te 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 te antere li lavil David pami wa yo akoz li te fè byen an Israël ni pou Bondye, ni pou lakay 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.
Men apre lanmò Jehojada, ofisye Juda yo te vini bese ba devan wa a, e wa a te koute 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.
Yo te abandone lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt yo a pou te sèvi Asherim yo avèk zidòl yo. Konsa, lakòlè SENYÈ a te desann sou Juda avèk Jérusalem akoz koupabilite sa a.
19 And he sent among them prophets, to bring them back unto Yahweh, —and they testified against them, but they would not give ear.
Malgre sa, Li te voye pwofèt yo kote yo pou mennen yo retounen a SENYÈ a. Sepandan, yo te fè temwayaj kont yo, e te refize koute 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.
Alò Lespri Bondye a te vini sou Zacharie, fis a Jehojada a, prèt la. Li te kanpe anwo pèp la, e te pale yo: “Konsa Bondye te di: ‘Poukisa nou vyole kòmandman a SENYÈ la, e akoz sa nou pa reyisi? Akoz nou te abandone SENYÈ a, Li menm osi te abandone nou.’”
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.
Pou sa, yo te fè konplo kont li. Sou kòmand a wa a, yo te lapide li jiska lanmò nan lakou lakay SENYÈ 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!
Konsa, Joas pa t sonje bonte ke papa li, Jehojada te montre li a, men li te touye fis li. Epi pandan li t ap mouri, li te di: “Ke SENYÈ a wè e fè revandikasyon!”
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.
Alò, li te vin rive nan fen ane ke lame Siryen yo te monte kont li. Yo te vini Juda avèk Jérusalem, e te detwi tout ofisye a pèp la ki te pami pèp la, epi yo te voye tout piyaj la kote wa a 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.
Anverite, lame Siryen an te vini avèk yon ti kantite moun, men SENYÈ a te livre yon trè gwo lame nan men yo, paske yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt yo a. Se konsa yo te egzekite jijman sou Joas.
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 yo te kite Joas, (akoz yo te kite li byen blesi), pwòp sèvitè li yo te fè konplo kont li akoz san fis Jehojada a, prèt la, e yo te asasine li sou kabann li an. Konsa, li te mouri e yo te antere li lavil David la, men yo pa t antere li nan tonm a wa yo.
26 Now, these, are they that conspired against him, —Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
Alò, sa yo se sila ki te fè konplo kont li yo: Zabad, fis a Schimeath la, Amonit lan, ak Jozabad, fis a Schimrith la, Moabit la.
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.
Konsènan fis li yo, tout pawòl madichon kont li yo ak rekonstriksyon lakay Bondye a, gade byen, yo ekri nan istwa Liv A Wa Yo. Epi Amatsia, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
