2 Istwa 35
1 Wa Jozyas fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a. Nan katòzyèm jou premye mwa a, yo touye ti mouton pou fèt la.
And Josiah kept a passover unto Jehovah in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month.
2 Li bay chak prèt travay pou yo fè nan Tanp lan ankò, li ankouraje yo pou yo fè l' byen.
And he set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah.
3 Lèfini, li pale ak moun Levi yo ki te reskonsab moutre pèp Izrayèl la sa pou l' fè epi ki t'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a. Li di yo konsa: -Mete Bwat Kontra Bondye a nan Tanp Salomon, pitit David, wa pèp Izrayèl la, te bati a. Nou pa bezwen ap pote l' sou zepòl nou ankò. Koulye a se sèvi nou pral sèvi Seyè a, Bondye nou ak Bondye pèp Izrayèl ki pou li a.
And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders. Now serve Jehovah your God, and his people Israel;
4 Pran plas nou nan Tanp lan, chak fanmi apa, dapre reskonsablite nou jan David, wa pèp Izrayèl la, ak Salomon, pitit li, te ekri l' la.
and prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
5 N'a rete kote yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a. N'a ranje nou yon jan pou gen yon gwoup moun Levi pou ede chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brethren the children of the people, and [let there be for each] a portion of a father’s house of the Levites.
6 Se nou ki pou touye ti mouton yo ak kabrit yo pou fèt Delivrans lan. Ale mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Seyè a. Pare tou sa nou bezwen pou touye bèt yo pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, frè nou yo, ka fè seremoni an jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la pou nou.
And kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by Moses.
7 Apre sa, Jozyas pran trantmil (30.000) ti mouton ak ti kabrit ansanm ak twamil (3.000) bèf nan bèt pa l', li bay moun pèp Izrayèl ki te la yo pou fè fèt Delivrans lan.
And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover-offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s substance.
8 Chèf li yo te bay pa yo tou pou pèp la, pou prèt yo ak moun Levi yo. Ilkija, Zakari ak Jeiyèl, ki te reskonsab Tanp Seyè a, bay demil sisan (2.600) ti mouton ak ti kabrit ansanm ak twasan (300) bèf pou yo touye pou fèt la.
And his princes gave for a freewill-offering unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen.
9 Konanya ak de frè li yo, Chemaja ak Netanèl, ansanm ak Achabya, Jeiyèl ak Jozaba, chèf moun Levi yo, bò pa yo te bay senkmil (5.000) ti mouton ak ti kabrit ak senksan (500) bèf pou moun Levi yo te ofri pou fèt Delivrans lan.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle], and five hundred oxen.
10 Lè tout bagay te pare pou fèt la, prèt yo pran plas yo, moun Levi yo fè gwoup apa jan wa a te ba yo lòd la.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their courses, according to the king’s commandment.
11 Lè yo fin touye ti mouton yo, moun Levi yo bay prèt yo san an pou yo vide sou lotèl la. Moun Levi yo menm kòche tout bèt yo.
And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood which they received] of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
12 Apre sa, yo wete pati ki pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, yo bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo pou yo al ofri bay Seyè a, jan sa ekri nan Liv Moyiz la. Yo fè menm bagay la pou bèf yo.
And they removed the burnt-offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer unto Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
13 Lèfini, moun Levi yo griye ti mouton Delivrans lan sou dife, jan yo te konn fè l' la. Yo bouyi lòt vyann yo te mete apa pou Bondye yo nan chodyè, nan mamit ak nan kaswòl. Lèfini, yo prese separe vyann lan bay tout pèp la.
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people.
14 Lè yo fin fè sa, moun Levi yo pare sa ki rete pou yo menm ansanm ak prèt yo, paske prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo, te rete byen ta jouk aswè ap boule bèt moun yo te ofri nèt pou Seyè a ansanm ak grès lòt bèt yo. Se poutèt sa, se moun Levi yo ki te pare vyann ni pou tèt yo ni pou prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo.
And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in offering the burnt-offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
15 Sanba yo menm, moun fanmi Asaf yo, te nan plas yo dapre lòd David, Asaf, Eyman ak Jedoutoun, pwofèt wa a, te bay. Gad pòtay Tanp yo te nan plas yo tou. Yo yonn pa kite pòs yo, paske moun Levi parèy yo t'ap pare pòsyon vyann pa yo pou yo tou.
And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they needed not to depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
16 Se konsa jou sa a yo te òganize tout sèvis Seyè a pou fete fèt Delivrans lan, pou boule vyann bèt yo nèt sou lotèl la pou Bondye, jan wa Jozyas te bay lòd la.
So all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
17 Pandan sèt jou, tout moun pèp Izrayèl ki te la yo t'ap fete fèt Delivrans lan ak fèt Pen san ledven yo.
And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 Depi sou tan pwofèt Samyèl, yo pa t' janm fete fèt Delivrans lan konsa. Pa gen yonn nan ansyen wa pèp Izrayèl yo ki te fete fèt Delivrans lan tankou Jozyas te fè l' lè sa a ansanm ak prèt yo, moun Levi yo ak tout pèp peyi Jida a, moun peyi Izrayèl ki te la yo ansanm ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Jozyas te gen dizwitan depi li te wa lè yo te fete fèt Delivrans sa a.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
20 Apre sa, lè wa Jozyas te fin fè tout reparasyon ki pou te fèt nan Tanp lan, Neko, wa peyi Lejip la, moute nan direksyon larivyè Lefrat pou l' al goumen bò lavil Kakemich. Jozyas soti al kontre l' pou anpeche l' pase.
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
21 Men Neko voye misyon sa a bay Jozyas: -Ou wè ou menm, wa peyi Jida, pa antre nan lagè sa a tande! M' pa vin pou m' goumen avè ou, men se avèk yon lòt nasyon mwen gen kont. Bondye di m' pa mize. Tanpri, pou pwòp byen ou, pa kenbe tèt ak Bondye ki avè m'. Konsa li p'ap detwi ou.
But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war; and God hath commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from [meddling with] God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
22 Men, Jozyas te soti pou goumen avè l'. Li derefize koute mesaj Neko te voye ba li a, mesaj ki te soti nan bouch Bondye menm. Se konsa, li degize kò l', li al goumen avè l' nan plenn Megido a.
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
23 Pandan batay la, sòlda ak banza yo tire sou wa Jozyas. Jozyas di moun ki te avè l' yo: -M' blese anpil. Mennen m' ale.
And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
24 Moun li yo wete l' nan cha lagè li a, yo mete l' nan yon lòt cha li te gen la, epi yo mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm. Se la li mouri. Yo antere l' nan kavo zansèt li yo. Tout moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm te pran gwo lapenn pou Jozyas.
So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
25 Pwofèt Jeremi te fè yon chante pou plenn sò wa Jozyas. Depi lè sa a, se yon koutim nan peyi Izrayèl: chak fwa fi yo ak gason yo ap chante nan yon lanmò, yo chonje Jozyas. Yo mete tout chante lanmò sa yo ansanm nan yon liv.
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations unto this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
26 Tou sa Jozyas te fè, jan li sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li, jan li te mache dapre sa ki ekri nan Lalwa Seyè a,
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah,
27 wi, tout istwa Jozyas la nèt, depi premye jou li te moute wa rive jouk dènye jou a, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan Liv Istwa Wa peyi Jida ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
