< 2 Chronicles 30 >
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel.
Ezekyas voye envite tout moun peyi Jida ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Li voye lèt bay branch fanmi Efrayim ak branch fanmi Manase yo. Li voye envite yo pou yo vin nan Tanp Seyè a, lavil Jerizalèm, pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
2 And the king took counsel, and his princes, and the whole congregation in Jerusalem, to hold the passover in the second month.
Wa a te diskite koze a ak chèf li yo ansanm ak tout pèp lavil Jerizalèm lan: yo deside pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan nan dezyèm mwa a.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not hallowed themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people been gathered together to Jerusalem.
Yo pa t' ka fè l' lè pou yo te fè l' la pou de rezon. Pou konmanse, pa t' ankò gen kont pret ki te nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Lèfini, tout pep la pa t' reyini lavil Jerizalèm.
4 And the thing pleased the king and the whole congregation.
Ni wa a, ni pèp la te dakò se te yon bon lide pou yo te fè l' lè sa a.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; because they had not held it for a long time as it was written.
Se konsa yo pran desizyon voye envitasyon bay tout pèp Izrayèl la, depi lavil Becheba nan sid jouk lavil Dann nan nò, pou yo vini lavil Jerizalèm fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Paske anvan sa, tout moun yo pa t' konn vini nan fèt la jan Lalwa mande l' la.
6 And the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, return to Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Se konsa yo voye mesaje nan tout peyi Jida a ak nan tout peyi Izrayèl la avèk lèt wa a te siyen ansanm ak chèf li yo. Dapre lòd wa a te bay, men mesaj yo t'ap mache fè konnen: -Nou menm rès pèp Izrayèl la, nou menm ki te chape anba men wa peyi Lasiri yo lè yo te anvayi peyi a, tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Izrayèl la, konsa l'a tounen vin jwenn nou tou.
7 And be not like your fathers and like your brethren, who transgressed against Jehovah the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
Piga nou fè tankou zansèt nou yo ak lòt frè parèy nou yo ki pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Nou wè jan li te kite yo fini.
8 Now, harden not your necks, as your fathers; yield yourselves to Jehovah, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever; and serve Jehovah your God, that the fierceness of his anger may turn away from you.
Pa fè tèt di tankou zansèt nou yo, men soumèt nou devan Seyè a. Vin lavil Jerizalèm nan Tanp Seyè a te mete apa pou li pou toutan an. Sevi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou Seyè a pa fache sou nou ankò.
9 For if ye return to Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion with those that have carried them captive, so that they shall come again unto this land; for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return to him.
Si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, lènmi ki te fè moun menm fanmi ak nou yo ak pitit nou yo prizonye a va gen pitye pou yo, l'a kite yo tounen nan peyi yo. Paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se yon Bondye ki gen bon kè, yon Bondye ki gen pitye pou moun. Si nou tounen vin jwenn li, l'a louvri bra l' ban nou.
10 And the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them.
Mesaje yo ale toupatou nan peyi moun Efrayim ak moun Manase yo, yo pase nan tout lavil yo, yo rive jouk nan peyi moun Zabilon yo. Men, moun t'ap ri yo, yo t'ap pase yo nan betiz.
11 Nevertheless certain of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
Tansèlman, te gen kèk moun nan branch fanmi Asè, nan branch fanmi Manase ak nan branch fanmi Zabilon ki rekonèt fòt yo epi ki moute lavil Jerizalèm.
12 The hand of God was also upon Judah to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of Jehovah.
Bondye te manyen kè moun peyi Jida yo tou, yo mete tèt ansanm pou yo fè sa wa a ak lòt chèf yo te mande yo fè, dapre lòd Seyè a te bay.
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to hold the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
Se konsa, yon pakèt moun sanble lavil Jerizalèm nan dezyèm mwa a, pou yo fete fèt Pen san ledven yo.
14 And they rose up and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem; and they took away all the incense-altars, and cast them into the torrent Kidron.
Yo pran tout lòt lotèl kote yo te konn boule bèt yo ofri yo ak lotèl kote yo boule lansan ki te lavil Jerizalèm yo, yo al voye yo jete nan Fon Sedwon an.
15 And they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and hallowed themselves; and they brought the burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah.
Nan katòzyèm jou dezyèm mwa a, yo touye ti mouton Delivrans yo. Prèt yo ak moun Levi ki pa t' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a vin wont tèt yo, yo fè sa pou yo fè pou yo ka nan kondisyon pou sèvis Seyè a, lèfini yo antre nan Tanp lan al boule bèt yo ofri nèt pou Seyè a.
16 And they stood in their place after their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood [receiving it] from the hand of the Levites.
Yo al pran plas yo nan Tanp lan dapre regleman ki nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a. Moun Levi yo bay prèt yo san bèt yo pou yo vide sou lotèl la.
17 For there were many in the congregation that were not hallowed; therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover-lambs for every one not clean, to hallow them unto Jehovah.
Te gen anpil moun ki pa t' mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a. Kifè yo pa t' kapab touye ti mouton Delivrans pa yo. Konsa, se moun Levi yo ki te fè l' pou yo, lèfini ki te mete yo apa nèt pou Seyè a.
18 For a multitude of the people, many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, and they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, Jehovah, who is good, forgive every one
Paske pifò moun ki te soti nan branch fanmi Efrayim, nan branch fanmi Manase, nan branch fanmi Isaka ak nan branch fanmi Zabilon yo pa t' fè sèvis pou mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Yo te manje manje Delivrans lan yon jan ki pa konfòm ak sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa a. Men, Ezekyas lapriyè Bondye pou yo, li di: -O Seyè, Bondye zansèt nou yo, pou jan ou gen bon kè, tanpri padonnen
19 that has directed his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, although not according to the purification of the sanctuary.
tout moun sa yo ki soti pou sèvi ou ak tout kè yo, menm si yo pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou, pou yo manyen sa yo mete apa pou ou yo.
20 And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Seyè a tande lapriyè Ezekyas te fè a, li padonnen pèp la.
21 And the children of Israel, that were present at Jerusalem, held the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, with the instruments of praise to Jehovah.
Konsa pandan sèt jou, moun pèp Izrayèl ki te sanble lavil Jerizalèm yo fete fèt Pen san ledven yo avèk anpil kè kontan. Chak jou, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo menm t'ap chante fè lwanj Seyè a, yo t'ap jwe enstriman mizik yo byen fò pou Seyè a.
22 And Hezekiah spoke consolingly to all the Levites that had understanding in the good knowledge of Jehovah; and they ate the feast-offerings the seven days, sacrificing peace-offerings, and extolling Jehovah the God of their fathers.
Ezekyas t'ap ankouraje tout moun Levi yo pou jan yo t'ap mennen sèvis Seyè a byen. Pandan sèt jou, tout pèp la t'ap manje manje fèt Delivrans lan, yo fè ofrann pou mande padon, yo t'ap di Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, mèsi.
23 And the whole congregation took counsel to observe other seven days; and they observed the seven days with gladness.
Apre sa, tout pèp la tonbe dakò pou yo pase sèt lòt jou ankò ap fè fèt. Se konsa, yo fete pou sèt lòt jou ankò ak kè kontan.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the congregation as heave-offering: a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests hallowed themselves.
Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, te bay mil (1.000) towo bèf ak sètmil (7.000) mouton pou yo bay pèp la manje. Lòt otorite yo menm bò pa yo te bay mil towo bèf ak dimil mouton. Anpil prèt te mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvis Seyè a.
25 And the whole congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
Tout moun te kontan, depi moun peyi Jida yo, prèt yo, moun Levi yo jouk moun ki te soti nan peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon ki te tabli ni nan peyi Jida a ni nan peyi Izrayèl la.
26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had not been the like in Jerusalem.
Se te gwo fèt nan lavil Jerizalèm, paske depi sou rèy Salomon, pitit David, wa pèp Izrayèl la, pa t' janm gen bagay konsa lavil Jerizalèm.
27 And the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, to the heavens.
Apre sa, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo kanpe, yo mande benediksyon Bondye pou tout pèp la. Lapriyè yo moute rive jouk nan syèl la, kay Bondye a menm, kote Bondye ki apa nèt la rete a. Bondye tande lapriyè yo.
