2 Chronicles 23
1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds—Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri—into a covenant with him.
Alò, nan setyèm ane, Jehojada te ranfòse tèt li, e te pran chèf a dè santèn yo: Azaria, fis a Obed la, Maaséja, fis a Adaja a ak Élischaphath, fis a Zicri a. Yo te antre nan yon akò avèk li.
2 They went around in Judah and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
Yo te ale toupatou nan Juda pou te rasanble Levit soti nan tout vil Juda yo ak chèf lakay zansèt Israël yo, e yo te vini Jérusalem.
3 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God’s house. Jehoiada said to them, “Behold, the king’s son must reign, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David.
Konsa, tout asanble a te fè yon akò avèk wa a nan kay Bondye a. Epi Jehojada te di yo: “Gade byen, fis a wa a oblije renye, jan SENYÈ a te pale pa fis a David yo.
4 This is the thing that you must do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the thresholds.
Sa se bagay ke nou oblije fè: yon tyè nan nou, nan prèt avèk Levit ki antre nan Saba yo, va sèvi kòm gadyen pòtay;
5 A third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people will be in the courts of Yahweh’s house.
yon tyè va kote lakay wa a, e yon tyè kote Pòtay Fondasyon an. Tout pèp la va nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a.
6 But let no one come into Yahweh’s house except the priests and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Yahweh’s instructions.
Men pa kite pèsòn antre lakay SENYÈ a, sof ke prèt avèk Levit k ap fè sèvis yo. Yo kab antre, paske yo sen, men tout pèp la va kenbe règleman a SENYÈ a.
7 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.”
Levit yo va antoure wa a, chak mesye avèk zam yo nan men yo. Nenpòt moun ki antre nan kay la, fòk li mouri. Rete avèk wa a lè l antre ak lè l sòti.”
8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. They each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest didn’t dismiss the shift.
Konsa, Levit yo avèk tout Juda te fè selon tout sa ke Jehojada, prèt la, te kòmande yo a. Yo chak te pran mesye pa yo ki te gen pou antre anndan nan Saba a, avèk sila ki t ap sòti nan Saba yo, paske Jehojada, prèt la, pa t lage okenn nan divizyon sòlda yo.
9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, bucklers, and shields that had been king David’s, which were in God’s house.
Jehojada, prèt la, te bay a chèf dè santèn yo lans avèk gwo boukliye defans, ki te konn pou Wa David, ki te lakay Bondye a.
10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, near the altar and the house, around the king.
Li te estasyone tout pèp la, chak mesye yo avèk zam yo nan men yo, sòti nan kote dwat kay la jis rive nan kote goch kay la, toupre lotèl la, toupre kay la, antoure wa a nèt.
11 Then they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the covenant, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king!”
Epi yo te mennen fè parèt fis a wa a, yo te mete kouwòn nan sou li. Konsa, yo te ba li temwayaj pou te fè l wa. Jehojada avèk fis li yo te onksyone li, e yo te di ansanm: “Viv wa a!”
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house.
Lè Athalie te tande bwi a pèp la ki t ap kouri ak bay lwanj a wa a, li te antre lakay SENYÈ a kote pèp la.
13 Then she looked, and behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, with the captains and the trumpeters by the king. All the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets. The singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, “Treason! treason!”
Li te gade e vwala, wa a te kanpe akote pilye li nan antre a, e chèf yo avèk mesye twonpèt yo te akote wa a. Epi tout pèp peyi a te rejwi. Yo te soufle twonpèt yo e chantè avèk enstriman yo pou dirije lwanj lan. Athalie te chire rad li, e te di: “Trayizon! Trayizon!”
14 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t kill her in Yahweh’s house.”
Jehojada, prèt la te mennen fè sòti chèf a dè santèn ki te chwazi sou lame yo. Li te di yo: “Mennen li deyò antre ranje yo, epi nenpòt moun ki swiv li, mete li a lanmò avèk nepe.” Paske prèt la te di: “Pa kite li mouri lakay SENYÈ a.”
15 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house; and they killed her there.
Konsa, yo te sezi li e lè li te rive kote antre Pòtay Cheval la, lakay wa a, yo te mete li a lanmò la.
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh’s people.
Epi Jehojada te fè yon akò antre li menm avèk tout pèp la, e avèk wa a, pou yo ta pèp a SENYÈ a.
17 All the people went to the house of Baal, broke it down, broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
Konsa, tout pèp la te ale kote kay Baal la. Yo te chire, kase an mòso lotèl li yo, avèk imaj li yo, e yo te touye Matthan, prèt Baal la devan lotèl yo.
18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of Yahweh’s house under the hand of the Levitical priests, whom David had distributed in Yahweh’s house, to offer the burnt offerings of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as David had ordered.
Anplis, Jehojada te mete ofisye lakay SENYÈ yo anba otorite prèt Levit yo, ke David te apwente sou lakay SENYÈ a, pou ofri ofrann brile a SENYÈ, jan sa ekri nan lalwa Moïse la—-avèk anpil rejwisans ak chante selon lòd a David la.
19 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of Yahweh’s house, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
Li te estasyone gadyen pòtay yo lakay SENYÈ a, pou pèsòn pa t kab antre, si pou nenpòt rezon li pa t pwòp.
20 He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from Yahweh’s house. They came through the upper gate to the king’s house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom.
Li te pran chèf a dè santèn yo, moun enpòtan yo, moun ki te gouvène pèp la, tout pèp peyi a, e yo te mennen wa a desann soti lakay SENYÈ a pou te antre pa wo pòtay la pou antre lakay wa a. Konsa, yo te mete wa a sou twòn wayal la.
21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword.
Tout pèp peyi a te rejwi e vil la te vin kalm. Paske yo te mete Athalie a lanmò avèk nepe.
