2 Kings 12
1 Joash became king in the seventh year of the reign of Jehu, and he reigned in Jerusalem for forty years. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
Nan setyèm ane Jéhu, Joas te vin wa a, e li te renye karantan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Tsibja nan Beer-Schéba.
2 Joash did what was right in the Lord's sight during the years that Jehoiada the priest advised him.
Joas te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a pandan tout jou li yo depi Jehojada, prèt la, te enstwi li.
3 Even so, the high places were not removed—the people went on sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings at these places.
Sèlman, wo plas yo pa t retire. Pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo.
4 Joash told the priests, “Collect together all the money that is brought as holy offerings to the Lord's Temple, whether the census money, the money from individual vows, and the money brought as a voluntary donation to the Lord's Temple.
Alò, Joas te di a prèt yo: “Tout lajan de afè konsakre yo, ki pote antre nan kay SENYÈ a, nan lajan aktyèl la, lajan ranmase kòm devwa a chak mesye ak tout sa ke kè a yon moun ta pouse li pote lakay SENYÈ a;
5 Let each priest receive the money from those who give, and use it to repair whatever damage is discovered in the Temple.”
kite prèt yo pran li pou yo menm, yo chak nan men a moun yo konnen. Epi yo va sèvi li pou repare donmaj nan kay la, nenpòt kote yon donmaj ta twouve.”
6 But by the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, the priests still had not repaired the damage to the Temple.
Men li vin rive ke nan venn-twazan pouvwa a Wa Joas la, prèt yo pa t ankò repare donmaj kay la.
7 So King Joash called together Jehoiada and the other priests and asked, “Why haven't you repaired the damage in the Temple? Don't use any more money you're given for yourselves, instead hand it over to others to repair the Temple.”
Alò, Joas te rele Jehojada, prèt la ak lòt prèt yo, e li te pale yo konsa: “Poukisa ou pa repare donmaj kay la? Alò, pou koz sa a, pa pran kòb ankò nan men moun pa w yo, men pito livre li pou repare donmaj kay la.”
8 The priests agreed not to receive any more money from the people, and that they wouldn't carry out the repairs to the Temple themselves.
Pou sa, prèt yo te dakò pou yo pa t pran lajan nan men pèp la, ni fè reparasyon kay la.
9 Jehoiada the priest took a large wooden box, cut a hole in its lid, and placed it on the right side of the altar next to the entrance to the Lord's Temple. There the priests who guarded the doorway put all the money brought into the Lord's Temple into the collection box.
Men Jehojada, prèt la te pran yon kès sere e te pèse yon twou nan tèt bwat la e te mete li akote lotèl la sou kote dwat kote moun antre nan kay SENYÈ a. Epi prèt ki te veye kote papòt la, te mete ladann tout lajan ki te mennen nan kay SENYÈ a.
10 Whenever they saw there was a lot of money in the box, the king's secretary and the high priest would come, count the money brought into the Lord's Temple, and put it into bags.
Lè yo te wè ke anpil lajan te nan kès la, grefye a wa a avèk wo prèt la te vin monte, te mare li nan sak yo e te konte lajan ki te twouve nan kay SENYÈ a.
11 Then they weighed out the money and gave it to the supervisors of the work on the Lord's Temple. They paid the ones doing the work—the carpenters, builders,
Yo te bay lajan ki te peze a, mete nan men a sila ki t ap fè travay yo, ki te responsab nan kay SENYÈ a. Konsa, yo menm te vèse bay li kòm pèyman a chapant avèk ouvriye ki t ap fè zèv travay la nan kay SENYÈ a.
12 masons, and stonecutters. They also bought the timber and blocks of cut stone needed for the repair of the Lord's Temple, and paid all the other costs of restoring the Temple.
Anplis yo te bay a mason yo avèk sila ki t ap taye wòch yo, pou achte gwo bwa avèk wòch taye pou repare donmaj kay SENYÈ a ak tout sa ki te dispoze pou reparasyon li an.
13 However, the money collected for the Lord's Temple was not used for making silver basins, lamp trimmers, bowls, trumpets, or any items of gold or silver for the Lord's Temple.
Men yo pa t fè pou lakay SENYÈ a, anyen an ajan, tas yo, etennwa yo, bòl yo, twonpèt yo, ni veso an lò yo, ni veso an ajan yo avèk lajan ki te mennen antre lakay SENYÈ a;
14 It was used to pay the workers doing the repairs to the Lord's Temple.
paske yo te bay lajan sa a a sila ki te fè travay yo, e avèk li yo te repare lakay SENYÈ a.
15 No accounts were demanded from the men who received the money to pay the workers because they did everything honestly.
Anplis, yo pa t egzije yon kontwòl kontab nan men mesye ke yo te mete lajan pou peye sila ki te fè travay yo, paske yo te fidèl.
16 The money from the guilt offerings and sin offerings was not collected for the Lord's Temple because it belonged to the priests.
Lajan ofrann koupab la avèk lajan ofrann peche a pa t antre lakay SENYÈ a. Li te pou prèt yo.
17 Around this time Hazael, king of Aram, went and attacked Gath, and captured it. Then he marched to attack Jerusalem.
Alò, Hazaël, wa Syrie a, te monte goumen kont Gath e te kaptire li. Konsa, Hazaël te mete figi li vè Jérusalem.
18 So King Joash of Judah took all the holy objects dedicated by his forefathers Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the kings of Judah, along with all the items he had dedicated himself, and all the gold found in the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, and he sent everything to Hazael, king of Aram. So Hazael retreated from Jerusalem.
Joas, wa Juda a, te pran tout bagay sen ke Josaphat, Joram, ak Achazia, zansèt li yo te konsakre yo ak afè sen pa li yo ak tout lò ki te twouve pami trezò lakay SENYÈ a e li te voye yo bay wa Hazaël, wa Syrie a. Epi Hazaël te kite Jérusalem.
19 The rest of what happened in Joash's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Joas yo avèk tout sa li te fè, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda yo?
20 His officials plotted against him and murdered him at Beth Millo, on the road that goes down to Silla.
Sèvitè li yo te leve fè yon konplo e te frape Joas lakay Millo a pandan li t ap desann kite Silla.
21 The officials who attacked and killed him were Jozacar, son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, son of Shomer. They buried him with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Amaziah succeeded him as king.
Paske Jozabad, fis a Shomer a, avèk Yehozabad, fis a Schimeath a, sèvitè li yo, te frape li e li te mouri. Yo te antere li avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la e Amatsia, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
