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.
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 And the king took counsel, and his princes, and the whole congregation in Jerusalem, to hold 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 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 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 thing pleased the king and the whole congregation.
Konsa, bagay la te kòrèk nan zye a wa a avèk tout asanble 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Nevertheless certain of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
Sepandan, kèk nan mesye Aser yo, Manassé, avèk Zabulon yo te imilye yo, e yo te vini Jérusalem.
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.
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 there assembled at Jerusalem much people to hold the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 that has directed his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, although not according to the purification of the sanctuary.
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 Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a te tande Ézéchias e te geri 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.
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 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.
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 the whole congregation took counsel to observe other seven days; and they observed the seven days with 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
