2 Kings 12
1 In the seventh year of Jehu Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
Lè sa a, Jeou t'ap mache sou sètan depi li t'ap gouvènen. Joas pase karantan lavil Jerizalèm ap dirije peyi a. Manman l' te yon moun lavil Bècheba ki te rele Zibya.
2 And Joas did that which was right before the Lord all the days that Joiada the priest taught him.
Joas pase tout lavi li ap fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, paske se Jeojada, prèt la, ki te leve l'.
3 But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Tansèlman, se pa sa ki te fè tanp zidòl yo disparèt nan peyi a. Moun yo te toujou ap fè ofrann, ap boule lansan nan tanp sa yo.
4 And Joas said to the priests: O All the money of the sanctified things, which is brought into the temple of the Lord by those that pass, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which of their own accord, and of their own free heart they bring into the temple of the Lord:
Yon jou, Joas rele prèt yo, li di yo: —Se nou ki pou reskonsab tout lajan ofrann yo pote nan tanp Seyè a, ni lajan chak moun fèt pou yo bay pou sakrifis yo, ni lajan moun yo vle bay paske yo fè lide a.
5 Let the priests take it according to their order, and repair the house, wheresoever they shall see any thing that wanteth repairing.
Chak prèt va resevwa lajan nan men moun yo konnen. Y'a sèvi ak lajan sa a pou fè reparasyon ki bezwen fèt nan Tanp lan.
6 Now till the three and twentieth year of king Joas, the priests did not make the repairs of the temple.
Men, Joas te gen tan ap mache sou venntwazan depi li te wa, prèt yo pa t' fè ankenn reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
7 And king Joas called Joiada the high priest and the priests, saying to them: Why do you not repair the temple? Take you therefore money no more according to your order, but restore it for the repairing of the temple.
Wa Joas rele Jeojada, prèt la, ansanm ak tout lòt prèt yo, li di yo: —Poukisa nou pa fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan? Depi jòdi a, nou p'ap resevwa lajan ankò nan men moun nou konnen yo. Se pou nou renmèt lajan an pou yo ka fè reparasyon nan tanp lan.
8 And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs of the house.
Prèt yo dakò pou yo pa kenbe lajan yo resevwa nan men pèp la ankò, lèfini pou yo pa reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan.
9 And Joiada the high priest took a chest and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the doors put therein all the money that was brought to the temple of the Lord.
Lè sa a, Jeojada, prèt la, pran yon bwat, li fè yon twou nan kouvèti li, li mete l' toupre lotèl la, sou bò dwat lè w'ap antre nan Tanp Seyè a. Se ladan l' prèt ki t'ap veye nan papòt Tanp lan mete tout lajan yo te bay pou Tanp lan.
10 And when they saw that there was very much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and poured it out, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord:
Chak fwa yo wè te gen bonkou lajan nan bwat la, sekretè wa a ansanm ak granprèt la vini, yo kontwole lajan an, yo mete l' nan sak.
11 And they gave it out by number and measure into the hands of them that were over the builders of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters, and the masons that wrought in the house of the Lord,
Lè yo fin make kantite lajan yo te jwenn lan, yo renmèt li bay moun ki te reskonsab travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan. Moun sa yo menm peye bòs chapant yo, lòt bòs ki t'ap fè travay nan Tanp lan,
12 And made the repairs: and to them that cut stones, and to buy timber, and stones, to be hewed, that the repairs of the house of the Lord might be completely finished, and wheresoever there was need of expenses to uphold the house.
bòs mason yo ak moun k'ap taye wòch yo. Yo achte bwa ak gwo wòch taye pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a. Se yo menm ki te fè tout kalite depans pou sa.
13 But there were not made of the same money for the temple of the Lord, bowls, or fleshhooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold and silver, of the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.
Men yo pa t' pran nan lajan yo te pote nan Tanp lan pou fè gwo basin an ajan, kouto, bòl ak twonpèt yo, ni ankenn lòt bagay an lò osinon an ajan.
14 For it was given to them that did the work, that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.
Yo te renmèt tout lajan an bay moun ki te reskonsab travay yo pou yo te ka sèvi avè l' pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
15 And they reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully.
Yo pa t' fè ankenn regleman ak moun ki te reskonsab lajan pou peye travayè yo, paske se moun serye yo te ye.
16 But the money for trespass, and the money for sins, they brought not into the temple of the Lord, because it was for the priests.
Yo pa t' mete lajan ofrann moun fè pou peye pou sa yo fè ki mal ak lajan ofrann moun fè pou peche yo fè san yo pa konnen nan bwat Tanp Seyè a. Se pou prèt yo li te ye.
17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Geth, and took it and set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
Lè sa a, Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, atake lavil Gat. Li pran l', lèfini li pran mache sou lavil Jerizalèm.
18 Wherefore Joas king of Juda took all the sanctified things, which Josaphat, and Joram, and Ochozias his fathers the kings of Juda had dedicated to holy uses, and which he himself had offered: and all the silver that could be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the king’s palace: and sent it to Hazael king of Syria, and he went off from Jerusalem.
Joas, wa peyi Jida a, pran tout bagay zansèt li yo, depi Jozafa ak Joram rive sou Okozyas ki te ansyen wa peyi Jida yo, te ofri bay Seyè a ansanm ak tout bagay li menm li te ofri bay Seyè a epi ki te nan Tanp lan, li pran tout lò li jwenn nan trezò Tanp lan ak tout lò ki te nan palè a, li voye yo fè Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, kado. Azayèl chanje lide, li pa moute atake lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
19 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Tout rès istwa Joas ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Jida yo.
20 And his servants arose, and conspired among themselves, and slew Joas in the house of Mello in the descent of Sella.
Se pwòp chèf li yo ki te moute yon konplo sou do l'. Yo touye l' nan kay yo te bati sou ranblè ki sou bò solèy leve lavil Jerizalèm lan, sou wout ki mennen desann bò Sila a.
21 For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
Se Jozaka, pitit Chimeya, ak Jozabab, pitit Chomè, de chèf ki t'ap sèvi ak wa a, ki touye l'. Yo antere Joas nan lavil David nan kavo fanmi an. Se Amasya, pitit gason li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
