2 Kings 23
1 And they reported to the king what she had said. And he sent, and all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem were gathered to him.
Alò wa a te voye rasanble vè li menm tout ansyen Juda ak Jérusalem yo.
2 And the king ascended to the temple of the Lord. And with him were all the men of Judah and all who were living in Jerusalem: the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from the small to the great. And in the hearing of everyone, he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
Wa a te monte kote kay SENYÈ a ak tout mesye Juda yo, tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem avèk li yo, prèt yo ak pwofèt yo ak tout pèp la, ni gran, ni piti; epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl a liv akò a ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
3 And the king stood upon the step. And he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that they would walk after the Lord, and keep his precepts and testimonies and ceremonies, with all their heart and with all their soul, and so that they would carry out the words of this covenant, which had been written in that book. And the people agreed to the covenant.
Wa a te kanpe akote pilye a pou te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a, pou mache apre SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman avèk temwayaj li yo avèk règleman li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou akonpli pawòl akò a ki te ekri nan liv sa a. Epi tout pèp la te antre nan akò a.
4 And the king instructed Hilkiah, the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, so that they would cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels which had been made for Baal, and for the sacred grove, and for the entire army of heaven. And he burned them outside of Jerusalem, in the steep valley of Kidron. And he carried their dust into Bethel.
Konsa, wa a te kòmande Hilkija, wo prèt la e prèt a dezyèm lòd yo avèk gadyen pòtay yo pou mennen fè sòti deyò nan tanp SENYÈ a tout veso ki te fèt pou Baal yo, pou Astarté ak pou tout lame syèl la. Konsa, li te brile yo deyò Jérusalem nan chan Cédron an e li te pote sann yo jis rive Béthel.
5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Judah had appointed to sacrifice in the high places throughout the cities of Judah, and all around Jerusalem, along with those who were burning incense to Baal, and to the Sun, and to the Moon, and to the twelve signs, and to the entire army of heaven.
Li te mete deyò tout prèt zidòl ke wa Juda yo te chwazi pou brile lansan nan wo plas yo nan vil Juda yo ak nan andwa Jérusalem yo. Anplis, sila ki te brile lansan a Baal yo, a solèy la, lalin nan, avèk tout gwoup zetwal yo ak tout lame syèl yo.
6 And he caused the sacred grove to be carried away from the house of the Lord, outside of Jerusalem, to the steep valley of Kidron. And he burned it there, and reduced it to dust. And he cast the dust over the graves of the common people.
Li te fè mete deyò Astarté la soti lakay SENYÈ a rive Jérusalem nan flèv Cédron an, li te moulen l an poud nèt e li te jete pousyè a nan simityè a pèp la.
7 Also, he destroyed the small places of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women were weaving something like little houses in the sacred grove.
Osi, li te kraze kay mal pwostitiye sakre ki te lakay SENYÈ a, kote fanm t ap trese bagay yo kwoke pou Astarté yo.
8 And he gathered together all the priests from the cities of Judah. And he defiled the high places, where the priests were sacrificing, from Geba as far as Beersheba. And he tore down the altars of the gates at the entrance to the gate of Joshua, the leader of the city, which was to the left of the gate of the city.
Epi li te mennen tout prèt yo soti nan tout vil Juda yo, e li te souye wo plas kote prèt yo te konn brile lansan yo, soti Guéba jis rive Beer-Schéba. Li te kraze wo plas pòtay ki te nan antre pòtay Josué a, majistra vil la, ki te bò kote goch pòtay lavil la.
9 Yet truly, the priests of the high places did not ascend to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem. For they would only eat from the unleavened bread in the midst of their brothers.
Sepandan, prèt wo plas yo pa t monte nan lotèl SENYÈ a Jérusalem, men yo te manje pen san ledven pami frè yo.
10 Also, he defiled Topheth, which is in the steep valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no one would consecrate his son or his daughter, through fire, to Molech.
Anplis, li te souye Topheth, ki nan vale fis Hinnom an, pou pèsòn pa t kab fè fis li oswa fi li pase nan dife Moloc la.
11 Also, he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the Sun, at the entrance to the temple of the Lord, beside the hallway of Nathan-melech, the eunuch, who was in Pharurim. And he burned the chariots of the Sun with fire.
Li te retire cheval ke wa a Juda yo te konn bay a solèy la, kote antre kay SENYÈ a, kote chanm Nethan-Mélec la, ofisye a, ki te nan pwovens yo e li te brile cha solèy yo avèk dife.
12 Also, the altars which were upon the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king destroyed. And he hurried from there, and he scattered their ashes into the torrent Kidron.
Lotèl ki te sou twati yo, nan wo chanm Achaz ke wa Juda yo te fè a ak lotèl ke Manassé te fè nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ a, wa a te kraze yo. Li te kraze yo e li te jete poud yo nan flèv Cédron an.
13 Also, the high places which were in Jerusalem, to the right side of the Mount of Offense, which Solomon, the king of Israel, had built to Ashtoreth, the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh, the offense of Moab, and to Milcom, the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.
Wo plas ki te devan Jérusalem yo, ki te adwat mòn pèdisyon ke Salomon te bati pou Astarté la, abominasyon a Sidonyen yo, avèk Kemosch, abominasyon a fis Ammon yo, wa a te souye yo.
14 And he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he filled their places with the bones of the dead.
Li te kraze an mòso pilye sakre yo, li te koupe Astarté yo e li te plen plas yo avèk zo moun.
15 Then too, the altar which was in Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, had made: both that altar and the high place he tore down, and burned, and reduced to dust. And then he also set fire to the sacred grove.
Anplis, lotèl ki te Béthel la avèk wo plas ke Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a, menm lotèl sila a avèk wo plas la a li te kraze. Epi li te kraze wòch li yo, li te moulen yo jis yo te fè poud e li te brile Astarté la.
16 And in that place Josiah, turning, saw the sepulchers which were on the mount. And he sent and took the bones from the sepulchers. And he burned them upon the altar, and he defiled it in accord with the word of the Lord, which was spoken by the man of God, who had predicted these events.
Alò, lè Josias te vire gade, li te wè tout simityè ki te sou mòn nan e li te voye pran zo ki te ladann yo, li te brile yo sou lotèl la e te souye li pa pawòl SENYÈ a, ke nonm Bondye a te pwoklame a, sila ki te pwoklame bagay sa yo.
17 And he said, “What is that monument that I see?” And the citizens of that city responded to him: “It is the sepulcher of the man of God, who came from Judah, and who predicted these events, which you have carried out concerning the altar of Bethel.”
Alò, li te di: “Se ki moniman sa a ke m wè la a?” Epi mesye lavil yo te di l: “Li se tonm a nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a pou te pwoklame bagay sa yo ke ou te fè kont lotèl Béthel la.”
18 And he said: “Permit him. Let no one move his bones.” And his bones have remained untouched, with the bones of the prophet who had arrived from Samaria.
Li te di: “Lese li; pa kite pèsòn deranje zo li.” Konsa, yo te kite zo li yo san deranje avèk zo a pwofèt ki te sòti Samarie a.
19 Then too, all the shrines of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josiah took away. And he acted toward them according to all the works that he had done in Bethel.
Anplis, Josias te retire tout kay nan wo plas ki te nan vil Samarie yo, ke wa Israël la te fè pou te pwovoke SENYÈ a, epi li te fè a yo menm sa ke li te fè Béthel la.
20 And all the priests of the high places, who were in that place, he killed upon the altars. And he burned the bones of the men upon them. And he returned to Jerusalem.
Tout prèt a wo plas ki te prezan yo, li te touye yo sou lotèl yo, e li te brile zo moun yo sou yo. Konsa, li te retounen Jérusalem.
21 And he instructed all the people, saying: “Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, according to what has been written in the book of this covenant.”
Wa a te kòmande tout pèp la. Li te di: “Selebre fèt Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan sa ekri nan liv akò sila a.”
22 Now no similar Passover was kept, from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, and from all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah,
Anverite, yon Pak tankou sila a pa t selebre depi nan jou a jij ki te jije Israël yo, ni nan tout jou a wa Israël yo avèk wa Juda yo.
23 as this Passover, which was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah.
Men nan di-zuityèm ane a Wa Josias la, Pak sila a te obsève Jérusalem.
24 Then too, Josiah took away those who divined by spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images of the idols, and the defilements, and the abominations, which had been in the land of Judah and Jerusalem, so that he might establish the words of the law, which were written in the book, which Hilkiah, the priest, found in the temple of the Lord.
Anplis, Josias te retire moun ki te konn rele lespri mò yo, avèk bòkò avèk zidòl lakay yo ak tout lòt zidòl avèk tout abominasyon ki te konn wè nan tout peyi Juda a avèk Jérusalem, pou li ta kapab konfime pawòl lalwa ki te ekri nan liv ke Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
25 There was no king before him similar to him, who returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, in accord with the entire law of Moses. And after him, there rose up no one similar to him.
Avan li, pa t gen wa tankou li ki te vire vè SENYÈ a avèk tout kè li, avèk tout nanm li e avèk tout fòs li, selon lalwa Moïse la. Ni pa t gen okenn moun tankou li ki te leve apre li.
26 Yet truly, the Lord did not turn away from the wrath of his great fury, his fury which was enraged against Judah because of the provocations by which Manasseh had provoked him.
Malgre sa, SENYÈ a pa t kite chalè gran kòlè Li ki te brile kont Juda, akoz tout pwovokasyon avèk sila Manassé te pwovoke Li yo.
27 And so the Lord said: “And now I will remove Judah from my face, just as I removed Israel. And I will cast aside this city, Jerusalem, which I have chosen, and the house, about which I said: My name shall be there.”
SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen va retire Juda tou devan zye Mwen, jan mwen te retire Israël la. Mwen va voye jete Jérusalem, vil sila ke M te chwazi a ak tanp sou sila Mwen te di: ‘Non Mwen va la a.’”
28 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josias yo, avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
29 During his days, Pharaoh Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates. And king Josiah went out to meet him. And when he had seen him, he was killed at Megiddo.
Nan jou pa li yo, Farawon Néco, wa Égypte la, te monte kont wa Assyrie a nan Rivyè Euphrate la e Wa Josias te ale rankontre li. Epi lè Néco te wè l, li te touye li Méguiddo.
30 And his servants carried him dead from Megiddo. And they took him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his own sepulcher. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah. And they anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.
Sèvitè li yo te kondwi kadav li a nan yon cha soti Méguiddo pou te mennen li rive Jérusalem, e yo te antere li nan pwòp tonm pa li. Konsa, pèp peyi a te pran Joachaz, fis a Josias la, yo te onksyone li, e yo te fè l wa nan plas papa li.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
Joachaz te gen laj a venn-twazan lè l te devni wa a e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Hamuthal, fi a Jérémie an nan Libna.
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke zansèt li yo te fè.
33 And Pharaoh Neco bound him at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath, so that he would not reign in Jerusalem. And he imposed a penalty on the land: one hundred talents of silver, and one talent of gold.
Farawon Néco te fèmen li nan prizon nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath pou li pa renye Jérusalem, epi li te enpoze sou peyi a yon amann san talan ajan avèk yon talan lò.
34 And Pharaoh Neco appointed Eliakim, the son of Josiah, as king in place of Josiah his father. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Then he took Jehoahaz away, and he brought him into Egypt, and there he died.
Farawon Néco te fè Éliakim, fis a Josias la wa nan plas Josias, papa li e te chanje non li an Jojakim. Men li te mennen Joachaz sòti. Li te mennen li an Égypte e li te mouri la.
35 Now Jehoiakim gave silver and gold to Pharaoh, when he had taxed the land, according to each one who would contribute by the command of Pharaoh. And he exacted both silver and gold from the people of the land, from each one according to his ability, so that he would give to Pharaoh Neco.
Konsa, Jojakim te bay ajan avèk lò a Farawon, men li te egzije kontribisyon sou peyi a pou l ta kab bay lajan lè Farawon te mande li. Li te egzije ajan avèk lò a soti nan pèp peyi a, chak moun selon kalkil valè pa li, pou vèse bay a Farawon Néco.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah, from Rumah.
Jojakim te gen laj venn-senkan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye onzan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Zébudda, fi a Pedaja a nan Ruma.
37 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his fathers had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa zansèt li yo te konn fè yo.
