2 Chronicles 30
1 Also, Hezekiah sent to all of Israel and Judah. And he wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, so that they would come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and so that they would keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Alò, Ézéchias te voye kote tout Israël avèk Juda, e anplis, li te ekri lèt a Éphraïm avèk Manassé pou yo ta vini lakay SENYÈ a Jérusalem pou selebre Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
2 Therefore, having taken counsel, the king and the rulers, and the entire assembly of Jerusalem, resolved that they would keep the Passover, in the second month.
Paske wa a avèk chèf pa li yo ak tout asanble Jérusalem nan te pran desizyon pou selebre Pak la nan dezyèm mwa a.
3 For they had not been able to keep it at its proper time. For the priests, who were unable to suffice, had not been sanctified. And the people had not yet been gathered together in Jerusalem.
Yo fè sa akoz yo pa t ka selebre li nan lè sa a, akoz prèt yo potko konsakre yo menm an kantite ase, ni pèp la potko rasanble Jérusalem.
4 And the word was pleasing to the king, and to the entire multitude.
Konsa, bagay la te kòrèk nan zye a wa a avèk tout asanble a.
5 And they resolved that they would send messengers to all of Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, so that they might come and keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem. For many had not kept it, just as it was prescribed by the law.
Pou sa, yo te etabli yon dekrè pou sikile kòm yon pwoklamasyon pami tout Israël soti nan Beer-Schéba jis rive menm nan Dan, pou yo ta kapab vin selebre Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, Jérusalem. Paske yo pa t selebre li an gran nonb depi lè li te premye etabli a.
6 And carriers traveled with the letters, by order of the king and his rulers, to all of Israel and Judah, proclaiming, in accord with what the king had ordered: “O sons of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel. And he will return to the remnant who escaped from the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
Mesaje yo te ale patou nan tout Israël avèk Juda avèk lèt soti nan men a wa a avèk chèf li yo menm, selon lòd a wa a. Yo te di: “O fis Israël yo, retounen kote SENYÈ a, Bondye Abraham nan, Isaac, avèk Israël la, pou Li kapab retounen kote sila nan nou ki fin chape e retire soti nan men a wa Asiryen yo.
7 Do not choose to be like your fathers and brothers, who withdrew from the Lord, the God of their fathers. And so he delivered them over to destruction, as you yourselves discern.
Pa fè tankou papa zansèt nou yo avèk frè nou yo ki pa t fidèl a SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo, jiskaske li te fè yo parèt tankou yon laperèz etonan, jan nou wè a.
8 Do not choose to harden your necks, as your fathers did. Surrender to the hands of the Lord. And go to his Sanctuary, which he has sanctified unto eternity. Serve the Lord, the God of your fathers, and the fury of his wrath will be turned away from you.
Alò, pa fè tèt di tankou papa zansèt nou yo, men bay plas a SENYÈ a. Antre nan sanktyè ke Li te konsakre jis pou tout tan an, e sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou kòlè Li k ap brile a kapab vire kite nou.
9 For if you will return to the Lord, your brothers and sons will find mercy before their masters, who led them away as captives, and they will be returned to this land. For the Lord your God is compassionate and lenient, and he will not avert his face from you, if you will return to him.”
Paske si nou retounen kote SENYÈ a, frè nou yo avèk fis nou yo va jwenn mizerikòd devan sila ki te mennen yo an kaptivite yo, e yo va retounen nan peyi sa a. Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, plen gras avèk konpasyon e Li p ap vire fas Li kite nou si nou retounen kote Li.”
10 And so, the carriers were traveling quickly from city to city, throughout the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun, though they were ridiculing and mocking them.
Pou sa, mesaje yo te pase soti nan yon vil a yon lòt vil, toupatou nan peyi Éphraïm avèk Manassé, e soti rive Zabulon. Men yo te fè grimas sou yo, yo te giyonnen yo, e moke yo.
11 Even so, certain men from Asher, and from Manasseh, and from Zebulun, acquiescing to this counsel, went to Jerusalem.
Sepandan, kèk nan mesye Aser yo, Manassé, avèk Zabulon yo te imilye yo, e yo te vini Jérusalem.
12 Truly, the hand of God was working in Judah, to give them one heart, so that they would accomplish the word of the Lord, according to the precept of the king and of the rulers.
Anplis, men Bondye te sou Juda pou bay yo yon sèl kè pou fè sa ke wa a avèk chèf yo te kòmande yo a, pa pawòl SENYÈ a.
13 And many people gathered together in Jerusalem, so that they could keep the solemnity of unleavened bread, in the second month.
Alò, anpil moun te rasanble Jérusalem pou selebre Fèt Pen San Ledven an nan dezyèm mwa a, yon asanble ki te trè trè gran.
14 And rising up, they destroyed the altars which were in Jerusalem, and all the things in which incense was burned to idols. Overturning these things, they cast them into the torrent Kidron.
Yo te leve e te retire fo lotèl ki te Jérusalem yo. Anplis, yo te retire tout fo lotèl lansan yo e te jete yo nan flèv Cédron an.
15 Then they immolated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. Also, the priests and Levites, at length having been sanctified, offered the holocausts in the house of the Lord.
Epi yo te touye jèn mouton Pak yo nan katòzyèm jou nan dezyèm mwa a. Konsa, prèt yo avèk Levit yo te vin wont a yo menm, e te konsakre yo menm, e te pote ofrann brile yo lakay SENYÈ a.
16 And they stood in their order, according to the disposition and law of Moses, the man of God. Yet truly, the priests took up the blood, which was to be poured out, from the hands of the Levites,
Yo te kanpe nan estasyon pa yo selon koutim pa yo, selon lalwa Moïse la, nonm Bondye a. Prèt yo te aspèje san ke yo te resevwa nan men Levit yo.
17 because a great number were not sanctified. And therefore, the Levites immolated the Passover for those who had not been sanctified to the Lord in time.
Paske te gen anpil prèt nan asanble a ki pa t konsakre yo menm. Pou sa, Levit yo te responsab pou touye jèn mouton Pak yo ki te pou tout sila ki pa t pwòp yo, pou yo ta kapab vin konsakre yo a SENYÈ a.
18 And now a great portion of the people from Ephraim, and Manasseh, and Issachar, and Zebulun, who had not been sanctified, ate the Passover, which is not in accord with what was written. And Hezekiah prayed for them, saying: “The good Lord will be forgiving
Paske yon foul nan pèp la, menm anpil nan Éphraïm avèk Manassé, Issacar ak Zabulon pa t pirifye yo menm, sepandan yo te manje Pak la yon lòt jan ke sa ki te premye etabli a. Paske Ézéchias te priye pou yo e te di: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab padone
19 to all who, with their whole heart, seek the Lord, the God of their fathers. And he will not impute it to them, though they have not been sanctified.”
tout sila ki prepare kè yo pou chache Bondye, SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt li yo, malgre se pa selon règleman pou pirifikasyon nan sanktyè a.”
20 And the Lord heeded him, and was reconciled to the people.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a te tande Ézéchias e te geri pèp la.
21 And the sons of Israel who were found at Jerusalem kept the solemnity of unleavened bread for seven days with great rejoicing, praising the Lord throughout each day, with the Levites and the priests, accompanied by the musical instruments corresponding to their office.
Fis a Israël ki te la Jérusalem yo te selebre Fèt Pen San Ledven an pandan sèt jou avèk gran jwa, e Levit yo avèk prèt yo te louwe SENYÈ a, jou apre jou, avèk enstriman ki te fè gwo son a SENYÈ a.
22 And Hezekiah spoke to the heart of all the Levites, who had a good understanding concerning the Lord. And they ate during the seven days of the solemnity, immolating victims of peace offerings, and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Epi Ézéchias te pale ankourajman a tout Levit ki te montre gwo kapasite pou afè SENYÈ yo. Konsa, yo te manje pandan sèt jou ki te chwazi yo pandan yo t ap fè sakrifis ofrann lapè yo e t ap bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo a.
23 And it pleased the entire multitude that they should celebrate, even for another seven days. And they did this with enormous gladness.
Anfen, tout asanble a te deside selebre yon lòt sèt jou ankò, e yo te selebre sèt jou yo avèk kè kontan.
24 For Hezekiah, the king of Judah, had offered to the multitude one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep. Truly, the rulers had given the people one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. Then a great multitude of priests was sanctified.
Paske Ézéchias, wa Juda a, te bay asanble a mil towo ak sèt-mil mouton; epi prens yo te bay yon mil towo ak di-mil mouton. Konsa, yon gran kantite nan prèt yo te konsakre yo menm.
25 And the whole multitude of Judah, as much the priests and Levites as the entire crowd that had arrived from Israel, and also the converts from the land of Israel, and those with a habitation in Judah, was overflowing with cheerfulness.
Tout asanble Juda a te rejwi avèk prèt yo ak Levit yo ak tout asanble ki te sòti an Israël la, ni vwayajè ki te sòti nan peyi Israël yo ansanm ak sila ki te rete Juda yo.
26 And there was a great celebration in Jerusalem, to such an extent as had not been in that city since the days of Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel.
Konsa, te gen gwo lajwa Jérusalem, akoz pa t janm genyen yon bagay parèy a sa Jérusalem depi nan jou a Salomon yo, fis David la, wa Israël la.
27 Then the priests and Levites rose up and blessed the people. And their voice was heeded. And their prayer reached the holy habitation of heaven.
Epi prèt Levit yo te leve pou te beni pèp la. Vwa yo te tande, e lapriyè yo te rive nan lye sen Li an, menm nan syèl la.
