2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
Josias te gen laj a uitan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye tran-te-yen nan Jérusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a. Li te mache nan chemen a David, papa zansèt pa li a e li pa t vire akote ni adwat ni agoch.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father. And in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images.
Paske nan uityèm ane règn pa li a, pandan li te toujou nan jenès li, li te kòmanse chache Bondye a papa zansèt li a, David. Epi nan douzyèm ane a, li te kòmanse pirifye Juda avèk Jérusalem sou afè a wo plas yo, Asherim nan, imaj taye yo ak imaj fonn yo.
4 And they broke down the altars of the Baalim in his presence, and the sun-images that were on high above them he hewed down, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
Yo te chire desann lotèl Baal yo nan prezans li, lotèl lansan ki te byen wo sou yo, li te koupe yo desann. Anplis, Asherim yo, imaj taye yo ak imaj fonn yo, li te kase yo an mòso, kraze yo fè poud e li te gaye l sou tonm a sila ki te fè sakrifis a yo menm yo.
5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
Li te brile zo a prèt Baal yo sou lotèl la, e li te pirifye Juda avèk Jérusalem.
6 And so also in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even to Naphtali, in their ruins round about.
Nan vil a Manassé yo, Éphraïm, Siméon, jis rive Nephthali, nan mazi kraze yo,
7 And he broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and hewed down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.
li te osi chire fè desann lotèl yo. Li te kraze Asherim avèk imaj taye yo jiskaske yo te fè poud, e te koupe desann lotèl lansan yo toupatou nan peyi Israël la. Anfen, li te retounen Jérusalem.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Jehovah his God.
Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane règn li a, lè li te fin pirifye peyi a avèk kay la, li te voye Schaphan, fis a Atsalia a avèk Maaséja, yon ofisye lavil la ak Joach, fis a Joachaz la, grefye a, pou repare lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
9 And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered by the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and by all the remnant of Israel, and by all Judah and Benjamin, and by the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Yo te vin kote Hilkaja, wo prèt la, e yo te livre li lajan ki te pote lakay Bondye a, ke Levit yo, gadyen pòtay yo, te kolekte soti Manassé, Éphraïm, de tout retay Israël yo, e soti nan tout Juda avèk Benjamin ak pèp Jérusalem nan.
10 And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen who had the oversight of the house of Jehovah. And the workmen who labored in the house of Jehovah gave it to mend and repair the house.
Yo te ba li nan men a ouvriye ki te sipèvize lakay SENYÈ a, epi ouvriye ki t ap travay lakay SENYÈ a te sèvi ak li pou restore e repare kay la.
11 Even to the carpenters and to the builders they gave it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Yo menm, te remèt li a chapant avèk mason yo pou achte wòch taye avèk gwo bwa pou travès ak bwa mare pou kay ke wa nan Juda yo te kite detwi yo.
12 And the men did the work faithfully. And the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward, and others of the Levites, all who were skilful with instruments of music.
Mesye yo te fè travay la avèk bòn fwa ak fòmann ki sou yo pou sipèvize yo. Yo te sipèrvize pa Jachath avèk Abidias, Levit yo nan fis a Merari yo, Zacharie avèk Meschallam nan fis a Keatit yo ak Levit yo, tout moun ki te gen gwo kapasite, ak lòt ki te fò nan jwe enstriman mizik yo.
13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all who did the work in every manner of service. And of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
Anplis, yo te sou sila ki t ap pote chaj yo, e yo te sipèvize tout ouvriye soti de yon tach a yon lòt. Pami Levit yo te gen skrib, ofisye ak sipèvizè.
14 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah given by Moses.
Lè yo t ap pote fè sòti lajan ki te antre lakay SENYÈ a, Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve liv lalwa SENYÈ a ki te bay pa Moïse la.
15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
Hilkija te reponn e te di a Schaphan, sekretè a: “Mwen te twouve liv lalwa lakay SENYÈ a.” Epi Hilkija te bay liv la a Schaphan.
16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they are doing.
Konsa, Schaphan te pote liv la kote wa a, e te bay yon rapò anplis a wa a. Li te di: “Tout sa ou te konfye a sèvitè ou yo, y ap fè l.
17 And they have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Jehovah, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen.
Yo deja retire lajan yo te twouve lakay SENYÈ a, e te livre li nan men a sipèvizè yo ak ouvriye yo.”
18 And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me. And Shaphan read therein before the king.
Anplis, Schaphan, sekretè a te di wa a, “Hilkija, prèt la, te ban mwen yon liv.” Epi Schaphan te li ladann nan, nan prezans a wa a.
19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he tore his clothes.
Lè wa a te tande pawòl lalwa yo, li te chire rad li.
20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,
Epi wa a te kòmande Hilkija, Achikam, fis a Schaphan nan, Abdon, fis Michée a, Schaphan, sekretè a ak Asaja, sèvitè a wa a e te di:
21 Go ye, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found. For great is the wrath of Jehovah that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Jehovah, to do according to all that is written in this book.
“Ale fè ankèt a SENYÈ a pou mwen e pou sila ki rete Israël avèk Juda yo, konsènan pawòl a liv ki te twouve a; paske byen gwo, se kòlè SENYÈ a ki vide sou nou akoz papa zansèt nou yo pa t obsève pawòl a SENYÈ a, pou fè selon tout sa ki ekri nan liv sila a.”
22 So Hilkiah, and those whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke to her to that effect.
Konsa, Hilkija avèk sila ke wa a te pale yo te ale kote Hulda, pwofetès la, madanm a Schallum nan, fis a Thokehath la, fis a Hasra a, gadyen vètman yo, (alò, li te rete Jérusalem nan dezyèm katye); epi yo te pale avèk li konsa.
23 And she said to them, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Tell ye the man who sent you to me,
Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Di nonm ki te voye nou kote mwen an,
24 Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Veye byen, Mwen ap voye malè sou plas sa a ak sou pèp li a, menm tout malediksyon ki ekri nan liv ke yo te li nan prezans a wa Juda a.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore my wrath is poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched.
Akoz yo te abandone Mwen, e te brile lansan a lòt dye yo, pou yo ta kapab pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk tout zèv a men yo; pou sa, kòlè Mwen va vin vide sou plas sa a e li p ap etenn.’”’
26 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus ye shall say to him, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: As concerning the words which thou have heard,
“Men pou wa Juda ki te voye nou fè ankèt devan SENYÈ a, konsa nou va pale a li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la selon pawòl ke ou te tande yo,
27 because thy heart was tender, and thou humbled thyself before God when thou heard his words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and have humbled thyself before me, and have torn thy clothes, and wept before me, I also have heard thee, says Jehovah.
akoz kè ou te mou e ou te imilye ou menm devan Bondye lè ou te tande pawòl Li yo kont plas sa a, e kont pèp li a, akoz ou te imilye ou menm devan Mwen, ou te chire vètman ou e ou te kriye devan M, Mwen anverite te tande ou’, deklare SENYÈ a.
28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shall be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.
Tande byen, Mwen va ranmase ou a papa zansèt ou yo, e ou va ranmase a tonm ou an anpè, pou zye ou pa wè tout malè ke Mwen va pote sou plas sa a avèk pèp li a.” Yo te pote bay wa a mesaj sila a.
29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Epi wa a te voye rasanble tout ansyen a Juda avèk Jérusalem yo.
30 And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small. And he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of Jehovah.
Wa a te monte vè lakay SENYÈ a, e tout mesye Juda yo, pèp Jérusalem nan, prèt yo, Levit yo, e tout moun soti nan pi gran jis rive nan pi piti yo—epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl liv akò ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
31 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
Wa a te kanpe nan plas li a, e te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a pou mache nan chemen SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk temwayaj Li yo, avèk règleman Li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou reyisi fè tout pawòl a akò ki ekri nan liv sila yo.
32 And he caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Anplis, li te fè tout moun ki te prezan Jérusalem avèk Benjamin yo kanpe avèk li. Konsa, pèp Jérusalem la te fè selon akò Bondye a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo a.
33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the sons of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve Jehovah their God. All his days they did not depart from following Jehovah, the God of their fathers.
Josias te retire tout abominasyon soti nan tout peyi ki te apatyen a fis Israël yo e te fè tout moun ki te prezan an Israël yo sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a. Pandan tout lavi li, yo pa t detounen nan swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.
