2 Istwa 24

1 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.

Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

2 Joas te fè sa ki te bon nan zye SENYÈ a pandan tout jou a Jehojada yo, prèt la.

And Joash did what was right in the sight of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

3 Jehojada te pran de madanm pou li, e li te vin papa a fis ak fi.

And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begot sons and daughters.

4 Li te vin rive apre sa ke Joas te pran desizyon pou restore lakay SENYÈ a.

And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to renew the house of Jehovah.

5 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.

And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah and collect of all Israel money for the repair of the house of your God from year to year, and ye shall hasten the matter. But the Levites hastened it not.

6 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?”

And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Jehovah [laid upon] the congregation of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?

7 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.

For the wicked Athaliah [and] her sons had devastated the house of God; and also all the hallowed things of the house of Jehovah had they employed for the Baals.

8 Konsa, wa a te pase lòd e yo te fè yon bwat kès pou te mete li deyò akote pòtay lakay SENYÈ a.

And the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it at the gate of the house of Jehovah without,

9 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.

and they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring to Jehovah the tribute of Moses the servant of God [laid upon] Israel in the wilderness.

10 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.

And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.

11 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.

And it came to pass at the time the chest was brought for the king's control by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and high priest's officer came, and they emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

12 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.

And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they hired masons and carpenters to renew the house of Jehovah, and also such as wrought in iron and bronze, to repair the house of Jehovah.

13 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.

So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in its state, and strengthened it.

14 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.

And when they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; and they made of it vessels for the house of Jehovah, utensils to minister, and with which to offer up, and cups, and utensils of gold and silver. And they offered up burnt-offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada.

15 Alò, lè Jehojada te rive a yon gwo laj byen mi, li te vin mouri. Li te gen san-trantan lè l te mouri.

And Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; he was a hundred and thirty years old when he died.

16 Yo te antere li lavil David pami wa yo akoz li te fè byen an Israël ni pou Bondye, ni pou lakay Li a.

And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and toward his house.

17 Men apre lanmò Jehojada, ofisye Juda yo te vini bese ba devan wa a, e wa a te koute yo.

And after the death of Jehoiada the princes of Judah came and made obeisance to the king; then the king hearkened to them.

18 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.

And they forsook the house of Jehovah the God of their fathers, and served the Asherahs and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.

19 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.

And he sent prophets among them to bring them again to Jehovah, and they testified against them; but they would not give ear.

20 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.’”

And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood up above the people and said unto them, Thus saith God: Wherefore do ye transgress the commandments of Jehovah? And ye cannot prosper; for ye have forsaken Jehovah, and he hath forsaken you.

21 Pou sa, yo te fè konplo kont li. Sou kòmand a wa a, yo te lapide li jiska lanmò nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a.

And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the command of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah.

22 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!”

And king Joash remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, Jehovah see and require [it]!

23 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.

And it came to pass at the end of the year [that] the army of Syria came up against him; and they entered into Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them to the king at Damascus.

24 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.

Truly with a small company of men came the army of the Syrians, but Jehovah delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers; and they executed judgment upon Joash.

25 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.

And when they had departed from him (for they left him in great diseases), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.

26 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.

And these are they that conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.

27 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.

And as to his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the building of the house of God, behold, they are written in the treatise of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
