< 2 Kings 22 >
1 Josiah was eight when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-one years. His mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah. She came from Bozkath.
Jozyas te gen witan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan tranteyennan. Manman l' te rele Jedida. Se te pitit fi Adaja, moun lavil Bozka.
2 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, and followed all the ways of David his forefather—he did not deviate to the right or to the left.
Jozyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Li mache pye pou pye dèyè David, zansèt li, nan tou sa l'ap fè san li pa janm fè sa ki mal.
3 In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the Lord's Temple. He said,
Wa Jozyas t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen. Yon jou li pran sekretè palè a, Chafan, pitit gason Azalya a, pitit pitit Mechoulam lan, li voye l' nan Tanp Seyè a, li di l' konsa:
4 “Go to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money the doorkeepers have collected from the people coming to the Lord's Temple.
—Ale jwenn Ilkija, granprèt la. W'a di l' pou l' fè rapò kantite lajan prèt ki desèvis devan pòt Tanp lan ranmase nan men pèp la.
5 Then hand it over to those who are supervising the work on Lord's Temple, and have them pay the workmen doing the repairing of the Lord's Temple,
W'a di l' pou l' renmèt lajan an nan men mesye ki reskonsab travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan, pou yo menm yo ka peye moun k'ap travay repare Tanp lan, ki vle di:
6 the carpenters, the builders and the masons. In addition have them purchase timber and cut stone to repair the Temple.
bòs chapant yo, kontremèt yo ak bòs mason yo, lèfini pou yo achte bwa ak wòch yo bezwen pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan.
7 Don't ask for any accounts from the men who received the money because they deal honestly.”
Li p'ap bezwen fè regleman ak moun sa yo, paske se moun serye yo ye.
8 Hilkiah the high priest told Shaphan the scribe, “I've found the Book of the Law in the Lord's Temple.” He gave it to Shaphan who read it.
Lè Chafan, sekretè a, fin bay Ilkija lòd wa a, Ilkija di l' konsa: —Mwen jwenn liv lalwa a nan Tanp Seyè a. Ilkija bay Chafan liv la. Chafan li l'.
9 Shaphan the scribe went to the king and to give him a report, saying, “Your officials have paid out the money that was in the Lord's Temple and have handed it over to those appointed to supervise the work at the Lord's Temple.”
Lèfini, li tounen al jwenn wa a, li fè rapò li. Li di l' konsa: —Moun ou yo pran tout lajan ki te nan Tanp lan, yo renmèt li bay moun ki reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
10 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read it to the king.
Lèfini, li di wa a: —Ilkija, prèt la, te ban m' yon liv tou. Chafan li liv la pou wa a.
11 When the king heard what was in the book of the Law, he tore his clothes.
Lè wa a tande pawòl ki te ekri nan liv la, li chire rad sou li a sitèlman li te sezi.
12 Then he gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Acbor, son of Micaiah, Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah the king's assistant, saying,
Li fè chache Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, pitit Chafan an, Achbò, pitit Mikaja a, Chafan, sekretè palè a, ak Asaja, nèg konfyans wa a. Li ba yo lòd sa a:
13 “Go and talk to the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all of Judah, about what is said in the book that's been found. For the Lord must be really angry with us, because our forefathers have not obeyed the Lord's instructions in this book; they have not been doing what is written there for us to do.”
—Ale chache konnen sa Seyè a vle nou fè, mwen menm ansanm ak tout pèp Jida a, avèk tout pawòl ki nan liv nou jwenn lan! Seyè a move anpil sou nou, paske zansèt nou yo pa t' okipe sa yo di nan liv la, ni yo pa t' fè tou sa ki ekri ladan l'.
14 Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, custodian of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the city's second quarter.
Se konsa Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, Akbò, Chafan ak Asaja al kay Oulda, yon pwofèt fanm ki te rete nan katye yo te fèk bati lavil Jerizalèm lan. Oulda sa a se te madanm yon nonm yo rele Chaloum, pitit Tikva, pitit pitit Aras ki te reskonsab rad seremoni yo. Mesye yo di Oulda sa ki te rive.
15 She told them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
Oulda reponn: —Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Tounen al di moun ki voye nou bò kote m' lan:
16 this is what the Lord says: I am about to bring disaster down on this place and on its people, in accordance with everything written in the book that has been read to the king of Judah.
Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li. Mwen pral voye yon malè sou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak sou tout moun li yo jan sa ekri nan liv wa Jida a te li a.
17 They have abandoned me and offered sacrifices to other gods, making me angry by everything they've done. My anger will be poured out upon this place and will not be stopped.
Yo vire do ban mwen, yo fè sèvis pou lòt bondye. Avèk tout zak sa yo, yo fè m' fè kolè. Mwen move anpil sou lavil Jerizalèm. Kolè m' poko ap pase.
18 But tell the king of Judah who sent you to ask the Lord, tell him this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: As for what you heard read to you—
Men sa n'a di wa peyi Jida a ki voye nou vin konnen volonte Bondye a. Wi, men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di l': Ou tande sa ki ekri nan liv la.
19 because you were receptive and repentant before God when you heard his warnings against this place and against its people—that would become desolate and a curse—and because you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I have also heard you, declares the Lord.
Sa fè kè ou fè ou mal, ou soumèt ou devan mwen, lè ou tande deklarasyon mwen fè sou lavil sa a ak sou tout moun li yo. Se bagay ki pral fè moun mete men nan bouch. Y'ap sèvi ak non yo pou bay madichon. Wi, lè ou tande sa ou chire rad sou ou, dlo koule nan je ou. Se poutèt sa, mwen menm tou, mwen tande ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap di ou sa.
20 All this will not happen until after you have died, and you will die in peace. You will not see all the disaster that I'm going to bring down on this place.” They went back to the king and gave him her response.
Ou menm, w'ap mouri ak kè poze nan kabann ou, y'ap antere ou nan menm kavo ak zansèt ou yo. Ou p'ap gen tan wè malè m'ap voye sou lavil Jerizalèm lan. Mesye yo tounen pote mesaj la bay wa Jozyas.
