2 Istwa 34
1 Jozyas te gen witan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan tranteyennan.
A son of eight years [is] Josiah in his reigning, and thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
2 Jozyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Li mache pye pou pye dèyè David, zansèt li a. Li fè tankou l' nan tou sa l'ap fè, san li pa janm fè sa ki mal.
and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the ways of David his father, and hath not turned aside — right or left.
3 Jozyas t'ap mache sou witan depi li te wa lè li konmanse chache konnen volonte Bondye David, zansèt li a. Lè sa a li te yon jenn gason toujou. Li t'ap mache sou douzan depi li te wa lè li konmanse fè detwi tout tanp zidòl, tout pòtre Achera, tout lòt estati an bwa ak an bwonz nan peyi Jida ak nan lavil Jerizalèm.
And in the eighth year of his reign (and he yet a youth), he hath begun to seek to the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he hath begun to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images.
4 Li fè yo demoli devan je li tout lotèl kote yo te fè sèvis pou Baal yo. Li fè yo kraze tout recho kote yo te boule lansan sou lotèl yo. Li fè yo kraze an miyèt moso pòtre Achera ak pòtre tout lòt zidòl ak estati an bwonz yo. Apre sa, yo fè yo tounen poud, yo simen poud la sou tonm moun ki te konn fè sèvis pou yo.
And they break down before him the altars of the Baalim, and the images that [are] on high above them he hath cut down, and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images, he hath broken and beaten small, and streweth on the surface of the graves of those sacrificing to them,
5 Li boule zosman prèt zidòl yo sou lotèl kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou yo a. Se konsa li mete tout peyi Jida a ak lavil Jerizalèm nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
and the bones of the priests he hath burnt on their altars, and cleanseth Judah and Jerusalem,
6 Li fè menm bagay la tou nan lavil ki nan zòn moun Manase, moun Efrayim, ak moun Simeyon yo rive nan zòn moun Neftali yo ak nan tout ti bouk ki te nan vwazinaj yo.
and in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their tools, round about.
7 Nan tout peyi Izrayèl la, li fè demoli lotèl yo. Li kraze tout estati Achera yo ak lòt zidòl yo fè yo tounen poud. Yo kraze tout lotèl lansan yo an miyèt moso, lèfini li tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
And he breaketh down the altars and the shrines, and the graven images he hath beaten down very small, and all the images he hath cut down in all the land of Israel, and turneth back to Jerusalem.
8 Lè sa a, wa Jozyas t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen, li t'ap mete peyi a ansanm ak Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye. Wa a rele twa moun: Chafan, pitit gason Asalya a, Maseya, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joa, pitit gason Joakaz, sekretè wa a. Li ba yo lòd al repare Tanp Seyè a, Bondye li a.
And in the eighteenth year of his reign, to purify the land and the house he hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah head of the city, and Joah son of Johaz the remembrancer, to strengthen the house of Jehovah his God.
9 Mesye yo al jwenn Ilkija, granprèt la. Yo pote ba li tout lajan yo te ranmase nan Tanp lan, lajan moun Levi ki desèvis nan papòt Tanp lan te ranmase nan men moun Efrayim, moun Manase ak lòt moun peyi Izrayèl yo, ansanm ak sa yo te ranmase nan men moun Jida, moun Benjamen ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
And they come in unto Hilkiah the high priest, and they give the money that is brought in to the house of God, that the Levites, keeping the threshold, have gathered from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
10 Yo renmèt lajan an nan men mesye ki te reskonsab travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan, pou yo menm yo ka peye moun k'ap travay repare Tanp lan, ki vle di,
and they give [it] into the hand of the workmen, those appointed over the house of Jehovah, and they give it [to] the workmen who are working in the house of Jehovah, to repair and to strengthen the house;
11 bòs chapant yo ak bòs mason yo, pou yo ka achte wòch taye ak bwa yo bezwen pou sèvi sipò ak ranfò chapant tanp wa Jida yo te kite ap tonbe a.
and they give [it] to artificers, and to builders, to buy hewn stones, and wood for couplings and for beams to the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.
12 Mesye yo te serye nan travay yo. Te gen kat moun Levi ki t'ap dirije yo. Se te: Joak ak Obadya, moun nan branch fanmi Merari a, Zekaraja ak Mechoulam, moun nan branch fanmi Keyat. Moun Levi ki te konn fè mizik sou enstriman yo
And the men are working faithfully in the business, and over them are appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathite, to overlook; and of the Levites, every one understanding about instruments of song,
13 te reskonsab moun ki t'ap bwote materyo yo ak tout lòt ouvriye ki t'ap fè lòt travay yo. Te gen lòt moun Levi ki te reskonsab ekri istwa tou sa k'ap pase. Genyen ki te sekretè, genyen ki t'ap fè pòs nan papòt yo.
and over the burden-bearers, and overseers of every one doing work for service and service; and of the Levites [are] scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
14 Pandan yo t'ap wete lajan yo te mete nan Tanp Seyè a, Ilkija, prèt la, jwenn liv Lalwa Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou pèp la.
And in their bringing out the money that is brought in to the house of Jehovah, hath Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah by the hand of Moses,
15 Ilkija pale ak Chafan, sekretè a, li di l' li jwenn liv Lalwa a nan Tanp Seyè a. Epi li ba li l'.
and Hilkiah answereth and saith unto Shaphan the scribe, 'A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan,
16 Chafan pote liv la bay wa a, epi li fè rapò li, li di l' konsa: -Nou fè tou sa ou te ban nou lòd fè.
and Shaphan bringeth in the book unto the king, and bringeth the king back word again, saying, 'All that hath been given into the hand of thy servants they are doing,
17 Yo pran tout lajan ki te nan Tanp Seyè a, yo renmèt li nan men moun ki reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan ak moun k'ap fè travay yo.
and they pour out the money that is found in the house of Jehovah, and give it into the hand of those appointed, and into the hands of those doing the work.'
18 Lèfini, Chafan di wa a: -Ilkija, prèt la, te ban m' yon liv. Chafan li liv la pou wa a.
And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, 'A book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;' and Shaphan readeth in it before the king.
19 Lè wa a tande pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la, li chire rad sou li tèlman li te sezi.
And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the law, that he rendeth his garments,
20 Lèfini, li fè rele Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, pitit gason Chafan an, Abdon, pitit Mikaja a, Chafan, sekretè a, ak Asaja, nèg konfyans wa a. Li ba yo lòd sa a:
and the king commandeth Hilkiah, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Abdon son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, servant of the king, saying,
21 -Ale chache konnen sa Seyè a vle nou fè, mwen menm ansanm ak tout rès pèp li a ki rete nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Izrayèl la. Chache konnen sa pou n' fè ak pawòl ki nan liv nou jwenn lan. Seyè a move anpil sou nou, paske zansèt nou yo pa t' koute pawòl Seyè a, ni yo pa t' fè tou sa ki ekri nan liv la.
'Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for him who is left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found, for great [is] the fury of Jehovah that is poured on us, because that our fathers kept not the word of Jehovah, to do according to all that is written on this book.'
22 Se konsa, Ilkija ansanm ak lòt mesye wa a te chwazi yo al kay Oulda, yon pwofèt fanm ki te rete nan katye yo te fèk bati lavil Jerizalèm lan. Oulda sa a te madanm yon nonm yo te rele Chaloum, pitit Tokeyat, pitit pitit Asra a, ki te reskonsab rad yo sèvi nan Tanp lan. Yo esplike Oulda tou sa ki rive.
And Hilkiah goeth, and they of the king, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the Second, and they speak unto her thus.
23 Oulda di yo konsa: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Tounen al di moun ki voye nou bò kote m' lan
And she saith to them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto me,
24 men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Mwen pral voye yon malè sou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak sou tout moun li yo, jan sa ekri nan liv yo li pou wa peyi Jida a.
Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, all the execrations that are written on the book that they read before the king of Judah;
25 Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo vire do ban mwen. Yo fè sèvis pou lòt bondye. Avèk tout zak sa yo, mwen move anpil sou lavil Jerizalèm. Kòlè m' poko ap pase.
because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, so as to provoke Me with all the works of their hands, and poured out is My fury upon this place, and it is not quenched.
26 Men sa n'a di wa peyi Jida a ki voye nou vin konnen volonte Bondye a. Wi, men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di l': Ou tande sa ki ekri nan liv la.
'And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to inquire of Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him: Thus said Jehovah God of Israel, whose words thou hast heard:
27 Sa fè kè ou fè ou mal, ou desann ou devan mwen lè ou tande deklarasyon mwen fè sou lavil sa a ak sou tout moun li yo. Wi, lè ou tande sa, ou chire rad sou ou, dlo koule nan je ou. Se poutèt sa mwen menm tou mwen tande ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap di ou sa.
Because thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled before God in thy hearing His words concerning this place, and concerning its inhabitants, and art humbled before Me, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me: even I also have heard — the affirmation of Jehovah.
28 Ou menm, w'ap mouri nan kabann ou, y'ap antere ou nan menm kavo ak zansèt ou yo. Ou p'ap gen tan wè malè m'ap voye sou lavil Jerizalèm ak sou moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Mesye yo tounen rapòte mesaj la bay wa Jozyas.
Lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been gathered unto thy graves in peace, and thine eyes do not look on all the evil that I am bringing upon this place, and upon its inhabitants;' and they bring the king back word.
29 Lè sa a, wa a voye misyon bay tout chèf fanmi nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a, pou yo reyini ansanm avè l'.
And the king sendeth and gathereth all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,
30 Apre sa, wa a moute nan Tanp Seyè a ansanm ak prèt yo, moun Levi yo, tout moun peyi Jida yo, moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo ak tout rès pèp la, grannèg kou tinèg. Wa a kanpe devan yo tout, li li byen fò tou sa ki nan liv Kontra yo te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.
and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, even all the people, from great even unto small, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.
31 Lè li fini, li rete kanpe nan plas rezève pou li bò gwo poto a, li pran angajman devan Seyè a pou li fè volonte Seyè a, pou li mache dapre kòmandman, prensip ak lalwa Bondye yo ak tout kè li ak tout nanm li, lèfini pou l' kenbe tout kondisyon kontra ki ekri nan liv la.
And the king standeth on his station, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written on this book.
32 Apre sa, wa a fè tout moun ki te lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo pran menm angajman an tou. Depi lè sa a, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo mache dapre kontra yo te pase ak Bondye zansèt yo a.
And he presenteth every one who is found in Jerusalem and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem do according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
33 Jozyas fè disparèt tout vye zidòl sal nan peyi ki te pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li mete tout moun ki te rete nan peyi Izrayèl la nan obligasyon pou yo sèvi Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Se konsa pandan tout tan Jozyas te vivan an, tout pèp la te kenbe pye Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, fèm.
And Josiah turneth aside all the abominations out of all the lands that the sons of Israel have, and causeth every one who is found in Israel to serve, to serve Jehovah their God; all his days they turned not aside from after Jehovah, God of their fathers.
