< 2 Kings 22 >
1 Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign. He reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah, from Bozkath.
Jozyas te gen witan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan tranteyennan. Manman l' te rele Jedida. Se te pitit fi Adaja, moun lavil Bozka.
2 And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, and he walked in all the ways of his father David. He did not turn aside to the right, or to the left.
Jozyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Li mache pye pou pye dèyè David, zansèt li, nan tou sa l'ap fè san li pa janm fè sa ki mal.
3 Then, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:
Wa Jozyas t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen. Yon jou li pran sekretè palè a, Chafan, pitit gason Azalya a, pitit pitit Mechoulam lan, li voye l' nan Tanp Seyè a, li di l' konsa:
4 “Go to Hilkiah, the high priest, so that the money may be put together which has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have collected from the people.
—Ale jwenn Ilkija, granprèt la. W'a di l' pou l' fè rapò kantite lajan prèt ki desèvis devan pòt Tanp lan ranmase nan men pèp la.
5 And let it be given, by those in charge of the house of the Lord, to the workers. And let them distribute it to those who are working in the temple of the Lord in order to repair the surfaces of the temple,
W'a di l' pou l' renmèt lajan an nan men mesye ki reskonsab travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan, pou yo menm yo ka peye moun k'ap travay repare Tanp lan, ki vle di:
6 specifically, to carpenters and masons, and to those who mend gaps, and so that wood may be purchased, and stones from the quarries, in order to repair the temple of the Lord.
bòs chapant yo, kontremèt yo ak bòs mason yo, lèfini pou yo achte bwa ak wòch yo bezwen pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan.
7 Yet truly, let no account be given by them of the money that they receive. Instead, let them have it within their power and trust.”
Li p'ap bezwen fè regleman ak moun sa yo, paske se moun serye yo ye.
8 Then Hilkiah, the high priest, said to Shaphan, the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the volume to Shaphan, and he read it.
Lè Chafan, sekretè a, fin bay Ilkija lòd wa a, Ilkija di l' konsa: —Mwen jwenn liv lalwa a nan Tanp Seyè a. Ilkija bay Chafan liv la. Chafan li l'.
9 Also, Shaphan, the scribe, went to the king, and reported to him what he had instructed. And he said: “Your servants have brought together the money which was found in the house of the Lord. And they have given it so that it would be distributed to the workers by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.”
Lèfini, li tounen al jwenn wa a, li fè rapò li. Li di l' konsa: —Moun ou yo pran tout lajan ki te nan Tanp lan, yo renmèt li bay moun ki reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
10 Also, Shaphan, the scribe, explained to the king, saying, “Hilkiah, the priest, gave the book to me.” And when Shaphan had read it before the king,
Lèfini, li di wa a: —Ilkija, prèt la, te ban m' yon liv tou. Chafan li liv la pou wa a.
11 and the king had heard the words of the book of the law of the Lord, he tore his garments.
Lè wa a tande pawòl ki te ekri nan liv la, li chire rad sou li a sitèlman li te sezi.
12 And he instructed Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:
Li fè chache Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, pitit Chafan an, Achbò, pitit Mikaja a, Chafan, sekretè palè a, ak Asaja, nèg konfyans wa a. Li ba yo lòd sa a:
13 “Go and consult the Lord concerning me, and the people, and all of Judah, about the words of this volume which has been found. For the great wrath of the Lord has been kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, so that they would do all that has been written for us.”
—Ale chache konnen sa Seyè a vle nou fè, mwen menm ansanm ak tout pèp Jida a, avèk tout pawòl ki nan liv nou jwenn lan! Seyè a move anpil sou nou, paske zansèt nou yo pa t' okipe sa yo di nan liv la, ni yo pa t' fè tou sa ki ekri ladan l'.
14 Therefore, Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the vestments, who was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke with her.
Se konsa Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, Akbò, Chafan ak Asaja al kay Oulda, yon pwofèt fanm ki te rete nan katye yo te fèk bati lavil Jerizalèm lan. Oulda sa a se te madanm yon nonm yo rele Chaloum, pitit Tikva, pitit pitit Aras ki te reskonsab rad seremoni yo. Mesye yo di Oulda sa ki te rive.
15 And she responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:
Oulda reponn: —Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Tounen al di moun ki voye nou bò kote m' lan:
16 Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, all the words of the law that the king of Judah has read.
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 wa Jida a te li a.
17 For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, provoking me by all the works of their hands. And so my indignation will be kindled against this place. And it will not be extinguished.
Yo vire do ban mwen, yo fè sèvis pou lòt bondye. Avèk tout zak sa yo, yo fè m' fè kolè. Mwen move anpil sou lavil Jerizalèm. Kolè m' poko ap pase.
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you so that you would consult the Lord, so shall you say: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: In so far as you have heard the words of the volume,
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.
19 and your heart was terrified, and you humbled yourself before the Lord, listening to the words against this place and its inhabitants, specifically, that they would become an astonishment and a curse, and because you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heard you, says the Lord.
Sa fè kè ou fè ou mal, ou soumèt ou devan mwen, lè ou tande deklarasyon mwen fè sou lavil sa a ak sou tout moun li yo. Se bagay ki pral fè moun mete men nan bouch. Y'ap sèvi ak non yo pou bay madichon. 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.
20 For this reason, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your sepulcher in peace, so that your eyes may not see all the evils that I will bring over this place.”
Ou menm, w'ap mouri ak kè poze 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 lan. Mesye yo tounen pote mesaj la bay wa Jozyas.
