2 Chronicles 23
1 But in the seventh year, Jehoiada had the courage to act. He made a pledge with the commanders of hundreds: Azariah, son of Jeroham, Ishmael, son of Jehohanan, Azariah, son of Obed, Maaseiah, son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, son of Zichri.
Alò, nan setyèm ane, Jehojada te ranfòse tèt li, e te pran chèf a dè santèn yo: Azaria, fis a Obed la, Maaséja, fis a Adaja a ak Élischaphath, fis a Zicri a. Yo te antre nan yon akò avèk li.
2 They traveled all over Judah and brought together the Levites from all the cities of Judah and the family leaders of Israel. When they came to Jerusalem,
Yo te ale toupatou nan Juda pou te rasanble Levit soti nan tout vil Juda yo ak chèf lakay zansèt Israël yo, e yo te vini Jérusalem.
3 they all assembled at God's Temple and made a solemn agreement with the king. Jehoiada announced to them, “Look, here is the king's son and he must reign, just as the Lord promised the descendants of David would.
Konsa, tout asanble a te fè yon akò avèk wa a nan kay Bondye a. Epi Jehojada te di yo: “Gade byen, fis a wa a oblije renye, jan SENYÈ a te pale pa fis a David yo.
4 Here's what you have to do. One third of you priests and Levites who enter on the Sabbath shall guard the entrances.
Sa se bagay ke nou oblije fè: yon tyè nan nou, nan prèt avèk Levit ki antre nan Saba yo, va sèvi kòm gadyen pòtay;
5 Another third shall go over to the king's palace, while the last third shall be at the Foundation Gate. Everyone else stay in the courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
yon tyè va kote lakay wa a, e yon tyè kote Pòtay Fondasyon an. Tout pèp la va nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a.
6 No one should enter the Lord's Temple except the priests and those Levites are serving. They can enter because they have been made holy, but everyone else must follow the Lord's commands.
Men pa kite pèsòn antre lakay SENYÈ a, sof ke prèt avèk Levit k ap fè sèvis yo. Yo kab antre, paske yo sen, men tout pèp la va kenbe règleman a SENYÈ a.
7 The Levites shall surround the king, weapons in hand. Kill anyone who enters the Temple. Stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
Levit yo va antoure wa a, chak mesye avèk zam yo nan men yo. Nenpòt moun ki antre nan kay la, fòk li mouri. Rete avèk wa a lè l antre ak lè l sòti.”
8 The Levites and all the people of Judah did everything that Jehoiada the priest told them. The commanders each brought his men, both those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty, for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed any of the divisions.
Konsa, Levit yo avèk tout Juda te fè selon tout sa ke Jehojada, prèt la, te kòmande yo a. Yo chak te pran mesye pa yo ki te gen pou antre anndan nan Saba a, avèk sila ki t ap sòti nan Saba yo, paske Jehojada, prèt la, pa t lage okenn nan divizyon sòlda yo.
9 Jehoiada the priest provided the commanders with the spears and the large and small shields of King David that were in God's Temple.
Jehojada, prèt la, te bay a chèf dè santèn yo lans avèk gwo boukliye defans, ki te konn pou Wa David, ki te lakay Bondye a.
10 He placed them all, with their weapons in hand, to surround the king from the south side of the Temple to the north side, and near the altar and the Temple.
Li te estasyone tout pèp la, chak mesye yo avèk zam yo nan men yo, sòti nan kote dwat kay la jis rive nan kote goch kay la, toupre lotèl la, toupre kay la, antoure wa a nèt.
11 Jehoiada and his sons then brought out the king's son, placed the crown on him, presented him with a copy of God's law, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and shouted out, “Long live the king!”
Epi yo te mennen fè parèt fis a wa a, yo te mete kouwòn nan sou li. Konsa, yo te ba li temwayaj pou te fè l wa. Jehojada avèk fis li yo te onksyone li, e yo te di ansanm: “Viv wa a!”
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of people running and shouting praise to the king, she rushed to the crowds at the Lord's Temple.
Lè Athalie te tande bwi a pèp la ki t ap kouri ak bay lwanj a wa a, li te antre lakay SENYÈ a kote pèp la.
13 She saw the king standing by his pillar at the entrance. The commanders and trumpeters were with the king, and everyone was celebrating and blowing trumpets as the singers with musical instruments led the praise. Athaliah ripped her clothes and screamed out, “Treason! Treason!”
Li te gade e vwala, wa a te kanpe akote pilye li nan antre a, e chèf yo avèk mesye twonpèt yo te akote wa a. Epi tout pèp peyi a te rejwi. Yo te soufle twonpèt yo e chantè avèk enstriman yo pou dirije lwanj lan. Athalie te chire rad li, e te di: “Trayizon! Trayizon!”
14 Jehoiada ordered the army commanders, “Bring her to the men standing in front of the Temple, and kill anyone who follows her.” Earlier the priest had made it clear, “She must not be killed in the Lord's Temple.”
Jehojada, prèt la te mennen fè sòti chèf a dè santèn ki te chwazi sou lame yo. Li te di yo: “Mennen li deyò antre ranje yo, epi nenpòt moun ki swiv li, mete li a lanmò avèk nepe.” Paske prèt la te di: “Pa kite li mouri lakay SENYÈ a.”
15 They grabbed hold of her and took her to the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's palace, and killed her there.
Konsa, yo te sezi li e lè li te rive kote antre Pòtay Cheval la, lakay wa a, yo te mete li a lanmò la.
16 Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between himself and all the people and the king that they would be the Lord's people.
Epi Jehojada te fè yon akò antre li menm avèk tout pèp la, e avèk wa a, pou yo ta pèp a SENYÈ a.
17 Everyone went to the Temple of Baal and tore down its altars and smashed the idols. They killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, right in front of the altar.
Konsa, tout pèp la te ale kote kay Baal la. Yo te chire, kase an mòso lotèl li yo, avèk imaj li yo, e yo te touye Matthan, prèt Baal la devan lotèl yo.
18 Jehoiada placed the responsibility for the Lord's Temple in the hands of the Levitical priests. They were the ones whom David had appointed over the Lord's Temple to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, as is required by the Law of Moses, with celebration and singing, as David instructed.
Anplis, Jehojada te mete ofisye lakay SENYÈ yo anba otorite prèt Levit yo, ke David te apwente sou lakay SENYÈ a, pou ofri ofrann brile a SENYÈ, jan sa ekri nan lalwa Moïse la—-avèk anpil rejwisans ak chante selon lòd a David la.
19 He placed gatekeepers at the entrances to the Lord's Temple, so that no one unclean for any reason could enter.
Li te estasyone gadyen pòtay yo lakay SENYÈ a, pou pèsòn pa t kab antre, si pou nenpòt rezon li pa t pwòp.
20 Along with the commanders, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people, he led the king in a procession down from the Lord's Temple through the upper gate to the royal palace. There they set the king on the royal throne.
Li te pran chèf a dè santèn yo, moun enpòtan yo, moun ki te gouvène pèp la, tout pèp peyi a, e yo te mennen wa a desann soti lakay SENYÈ a pou te antre pa wo pòtay la pou antre lakay wa a. Konsa, yo te mete wa a sou twòn wayal la.
21 All throughout the land people celebrated, and Jerusalem was at peace, because Athaliah had been killed by the sword.
Tout pèp peyi a te rejwi e vil la te vin kalm. Paske yo te mete Athalie a lanmò avèk nepe.
