2 Kings 12
1 Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
Lè sa a, Jeou t'ap mache sou sètan depi li t'ap gouvènen. Joas pase karantan lavil Jerizalèm ap dirije peyi a. Manman l' te yon moun lavil Bècheba ki te rele Zibya.
2 Jehoash did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
Joas pase tout lavi li ap fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, paske se Jeojada, prèt la, ki te leve l'.
3 However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
Tansèlman, se pa sa ki te fè tanp zidòl yo disparèt nan peyi a. Moun yo te toujou ap fè ofrann, ap boule lansan nan tanp sa yo.
4 Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into Yahweh’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into Yahweh’s house,
Yon jou, Joas rele prèt yo, li di yo: —Se nou ki pou reskonsab tout lajan ofrann yo pote nan tanp Seyè a, ni lajan chak moun fèt pou yo bay pou sakrifis yo, ni lajan moun yo vle bay paske yo fè lide a.
5 let the priests take it to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”
Chak prèt va resevwa lajan nan men moun yo konnen. Y'a sèvi ak lajan sa a pou fè reparasyon ki bezwen fèt nan Tanp lan.
6 But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to the house.
Men, Joas te gen tan ap mache sou venntwazan depi li te wa, prèt yo pa t' fè ankenn reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
7 Then King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”
Wa Joas rele Jeojada, prèt la, ansanm ak tout lòt prèt yo, li di yo: —Poukisa nou pa fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan? Depi jòdi a, nou p'ap resevwa lajan ankò nan men moun nou konnen yo. Se pou nou renmèt lajan an pou yo ka fè reparasyon nan tanp lan.
8 The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to the house.
Prèt yo dakò pou yo pa kenbe lajan yo resevwa nan men pèp la ankò, lèfini pou yo pa reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan.
9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into Yahweh’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house into it.
Lè sa a, Jeojada, prèt la, pran yon bwat, li fè yon twou nan kouvèti li, li mete l' toupre lotèl la, sou bò dwat lè w'ap antre nan Tanp Seyè a. Se ladan l' prèt ki t'ap veye nan papòt Tanp lan mete tout lajan yo te bay pou Tanp lan.
10 When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in Yahweh’s house.
Chak fwa yo wè te gen bonkou lajan nan bwat la, sekretè wa a ansanm ak granprèt la vini, yo kontwole lajan an, yo mete l' nan sak.
11 They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on Yahweh’s house,
Lè yo fin make kantite lajan yo te jwenn lan, yo renmèt li bay moun ki te reskonsab travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan. Moun sa yo menm peye bòs chapant yo, lòt bòs ki t'ap fè travay nan Tanp lan,
12 and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to Yahweh’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
bòs mason yo ak moun k'ap taye wòch yo. Yo achte bwa ak gwo wòch taye pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a. Se yo menm ki te fè tout kalite depans pou sa.
13 But there were not made for Yahweh’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house;
Men yo pa t' pran nan lajan yo te pote nan Tanp lan pou fè gwo basin an ajan, kouto, bòl ak twonpèt yo, ni ankenn lòt bagay an lò osinon an ajan.
14 for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired Yahweh’s house with it.
Yo te renmèt tout lajan an bay moun ki te reskonsab travay yo pou yo te ka sèvi avè l' pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
15 Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
Yo pa t' fè ankenn regleman ak moun ki te reskonsab lajan pou peye travayè yo, paske se moun serye yo te ye.
16 The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into Yahweh’s house. It was the priests’.
Yo pa t' mete lajan ofrann moun fè pou peye pou sa yo fè ki mal ak lajan ofrann moun fè pou peche yo fè san yo pa konnen nan bwat Tanp Seyè a. Se pou prèt yo li te ye.
17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
Lè sa a, Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, atake lavil Gat. Li pran l', lèfini li pran mache sou lavil Jerizalèm.
18 Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.
Joas, wa peyi Jida a, pran tout bagay zansèt li yo, depi Jozafa ak Joram rive sou Okozyas ki te ansyen wa peyi Jida yo, te ofri bay Seyè a ansanm ak tout bagay li menm li te ofri bay Seyè a epi ki te nan Tanp lan, li pran tout lò li jwenn nan trezò Tanp lan ak tout lò ki te nan palè a, li voye yo fè Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, kado. Azayèl chanje lide, li pa moute atake lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Tout rès istwa Joas ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Jida yo.
20 His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
Se pwòp chèf li yo ki te moute yon konplo sou do l'. Yo touye l' nan kay yo te bati sou ranblè ki sou bò solèy leve lavil Jerizalèm lan, sou wout ki mennen desann bò Sila a.
21 For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
Se Jozaka, pitit Chimeya, ak Jozabab, pitit Chomè, de chèf ki t'ap sèvi ak wa a, ki touye l'. Yo antere Joas nan lavil David nan kavo fanmi an. Se Amasya, pitit gason li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
