2 Kings 23
1 Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Alò wa a te voye rasanble vè li menm tout ansyen Juda ak Jérusalem yo.
2 He went to the Lord's Temple with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, together with the priests and the Levites, all the people from the least to the greatest, and he read to them the whole Book of the Agreement that had been discovered in the Lord's Temple.
Wa a te monte kote kay SENYÈ a ak tout mesye Juda yo, tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem avèk li yo, prèt yo ak pwofèt yo ak tout pèp la, ni gran, ni piti; epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl a liv akò a ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
3 The king stood by the pillar and made a solemn agreement before the Lord to follow him and to keep his commandments, laws, and regulations with total dedication, and to observe the requirements of the agreement as written in the book. All the people entered into the agreement.
Wa a te kanpe akote pilye a pou te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a, pou mache apre SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman avèk temwayaj li yo avèk règleman li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou akonpli pawòl akò a ki te ekri nan liv sa a. Epi tout pèp la te antre nan akò a.
4 Then the king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of second rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the Lord's Temple everything made for Baal, Asherah, and the worship of sun, moon, and stars. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the Kidron fields and took their ashes to Bethel.
Konsa, wa a te kòmande Hilkija, wo prèt la e prèt a dezyèm lòd yo avèk gadyen pòtay yo pou mennen fè sòti deyò nan tanp SENYÈ a tout veso ki te fèt pou Baal yo, pou Astarté ak pou tout lame syèl la. Konsa, li te brile yo deyò Jérusalem nan chan Cédron an e li te pote sann yo jis rive Béthel.
5 He also dismissed the priests appointed by the kings of Judah to present burnt offerings on the high places of the towns of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, those who had sacrificed to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the powers of heaven.
Li te mete deyò tout prèt zidòl ke wa Juda yo te chwazi pou brile lansan nan wo plas yo nan vil Juda yo ak nan andwa Jérusalem yo. Anplis, sila ki te brile lansan a Baal yo, a solèy la, lalin nan, avèk tout gwoup zetwal yo ak tout lame syèl yo.
6 He removed the Asherah pole from the Lord's Temple and took it to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem. He burned it there, ground it into dust, and threw its dust over the graves of the ordinary people.
Li te fè mete deyò Astarté la soti lakay SENYÈ a rive Jérusalem nan flèv Cédron an, li te moulen l an poud nèt e li te jete pousyè a nan simityè a pèp la.
7 He also demolished the quarters of the cult prostitutes that were in the Lord's Temple, where the women used to weave tapestries for the Asherah.
Osi, li te kraze kay mal pwostitiye sakre ki te lakay SENYÈ a, kote fanm t ap trese bagay yo kwoke pou Astarté yo.
8 Josiah brought to Jerusalem all the priests from the towns of Judah and defiled the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had sacrificed burnt offerings. He demolished the high places of the gates, near to the entrance of the gate of Joshua, the governor of the city, which was left of the town gate.
Epi li te mennen tout prèt yo soti nan tout vil Juda yo, e li te souye wo plas kote prèt yo te konn brile lansan yo, soti Guéba jis rive Beer-Schéba. Li te kraze wo plas pòtay ki te nan antre pòtay Josué a, majistra vil la, ki te bò kote goch pòtay lavil la.
9 Though the priests of the high places did not serve at the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, they did eat unleavened bread with their brother priests.
Sepandan, prèt wo plas yo pa t monte nan lotèl SENYÈ a Jérusalem, men yo te manje pen san ledven pami frè yo.
10 He defiled the Topheth altar in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
Anplis, li te souye Topheth, ki nan vale fis Hinnom an, pou pèsòn pa t kab fè fis li oswa fi li pase nan dife Moloc la.
11 He removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun from the entrance to the Lord's Temple. They were in the courtyard near the room of a eunuch named Nathan-melech. Josiah also burned the chariots dedicated to the sun.
Li te retire cheval ke wa a Juda yo te konn bay a solèy la, kote antre kay SENYÈ a, kote chanm Nethan-Mélec la, ofisye a, ki te nan pwovens yo e li te brile cha solèy yo avèk dife.
12 He demolished the altars that the kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars Manasseh had placed in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple. The king smashed them to pieces and scattered them in the Kidron Valley.
Lotèl ki te sou twati yo, nan wo chanm Achaz ke wa Juda yo te fè a ak lotèl ke Manassé te fè nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ a, wa a te kraze yo. Li te kraze yo e li te jete poud yo nan flèv Cédron an.
13 The king also defiled the high places to the east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, the places which King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth, the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh, the vile god of the Moabites, and for Molech, the vile god of the Ammonites.
Wo plas ki te devan Jérusalem yo, ki te adwat mòn pèdisyon ke Salomon te bati pou Astarté la, abominasyon a Sidonyen yo, avèk Kemosch, abominasyon a fis Ammon yo, wa a te souye yo.
14 He smashed the sacred stone pillars to pieces, chopped down the Asherah poles, and covered the places with human bones.
Li te kraze an mòso pilye sakre yo, li te koupe Astarté yo e li te plen plas yo avèk zo moun.
15 He also demolished the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to dust, and burned the Asherah pole.
Anplis, lotèl ki te Béthel la avèk wo plas ke Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a, menm lotèl sila a avèk wo plas la a li te kraze. Epi li te kraze wòch li yo, li te moulen yo jis yo te fè poud e li te brile Astarté la.
16 As Josiah looked around he saw some tombs there on the hill. He had the bones taken from the tombs, and he burned them on the altar to defile it, just as the Lord had said through the man of God who had prophesied these things.
Alò, lè Josias te vire gade, li te wè tout simityè ki te sou mòn nan e li te voye pran zo ki te ladann yo, li te brile yo sou lotèl la e te souye li pa pawòl SENYÈ a, ke nonm Bondye a te pwoklame a, sila ki te pwoklame bagay sa yo.
17 Then he asked, “Whose gravestone is this that I see?” “It's the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed exactly what you have done to the altar of Bethel,” the townspeople replied.
Alò, li te di: “Se ki moniman sa a ke m wè la a?” Epi mesye lavil yo te di l: “Li se tonm a nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a pou te pwoklame bagay sa yo ke ou te fè kont lotèl Béthel la.”
18 “Let him rest in peace,” said Josiah. “Don't anyone touch his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, together with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
Li te di: “Lese li; pa kite pèsòn deranje zo li.” Konsa, yo te kite zo li yo san deranje avèk zo a pwofèt ki te sòti Samarie a.
19 Josiah destroyed, just as he did at Bethel, all the shrines of the high places in the towns of Samaria that the kings of Israel had built that had angered the Lord.
Anplis, Josias te retire tout kay nan wo plas ki te nan vil Samarie yo, ke wa Israël la te fè pou te pwovoke SENYÈ a, epi li te fè a yo menm sa ke li te fè Béthel la.
20 Josiah slaughtered all the priests who were there at the high places on the altars, and burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
Tout prèt a wo plas ki te prezan yo, li te touye yo sou lotèl yo, e li te brile zo moun yo sou yo. Konsa, li te retounen Jérusalem.
21 The king sent out an order to all the people, “Observe the Passover of the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Agreement.”
Wa a te kòmande tout pèp la. Li te di: “Selebre fèt Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan sa ekri nan liv akò sila a.”
22 Such a Passover as this had not been observed from the days of the judges who ruled Israel on through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Anverite, yon Pak tankou sila a pa t selebre depi nan jou a jij ki te jije Israël yo, ni nan tout jou a wa Israël yo avèk wa Juda yo.
23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was observed to honor the Lord in Jerusalem.
Men nan di-zuityèm ane a Wa Josias la, Pak sila a te obsève Jérusalem.
24 In addition, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the disgusting practices that were present in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to fulfill the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the Lord's Temple.
Anplis, Josias te retire moun ki te konn rele lespri mò yo, avèk bòkò avèk zidòl lakay yo ak tout lòt zidòl avèk tout abominasyon ki te konn wè nan tout peyi Juda a avèk Jérusalem, pou li ta kapab konfime pawòl lalwa ki te ekri nan liv ke Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
25 Never before was there a king like him who committed himself to the Lord in all his thoughts and attitudes, and with all his strength, keeping all the Law of Moses. There was no king like him afterwards either.
Avan li, pa t gen wa tankou li ki te vire vè SENYÈ a avèk tout kè li, avèk tout nanm li e avèk tout fòs li, selon lalwa Moïse la. Ni pa t gen okenn moun tankou li ki te leve apre li.
26 However, the Lord had not given up his furious hostility, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to anger him.
Malgre sa, SENYÈ a pa t kite chalè gran kòlè Li ki te brile kont Juda, akoz tout pwovokasyon avèk sila Manassé te pwovoke Li yo.
27 So the Lord announced, “I'm also going to banish Judah from my presence, just as I banished Israel. I will abandon this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the Temple regarding which I said, My name will be there.”
SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen va retire Juda tou devan zye Mwen, jan mwen te retire Israël la. Mwen va voye jete Jérusalem, vil sila ke M te chwazi a ak tanp sou sila Mwen te di: ‘Non Mwen va la a.’”
28 The rest of what happened in Josiah's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josias yo, avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
29 While Josiah was still king, Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, led his army to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah took his army to fight him at Megiddo, but when Neco saw Josiah he killed him.
Nan jou pa li yo, Farawon Néco, wa Égypte la, te monte kont wa Assyrie a nan Rivyè Euphrate la e Wa Josias te ale rankontre li. Epi lè Néco te wè l, li te touye li Méguiddo.
30 His servants put his body in a chariot, brought him back from Megiddo to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land chose Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in succession to his father.
Sèvitè li yo te kondwi kadav li a nan yon cha soti Méguiddo pou te mennen li rive Jérusalem, e yo te antere li nan pwòp tonm pa li. Konsa, pèp peyi a te pran Joachaz, fis a Josias la, yo te onksyone li, e yo te fè l wa nan plas papa li.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah. She came from Libnah.
Joachaz te gen laj a venn-twazan lè l te devni wa a e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Hamuthal, fi a Jérémie an nan Libna.
32 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as all his forefathers had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke zansèt li yo te fè.
33 Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath to stop him ruling in Jerusalem. He also imposed on Judah a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Farawon Néco te fèmen li nan prizon nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath pou li pa renye Jérusalem, epi li te enpoze sou peyi a yon amann san talan ajan avèk yon talan lò.
34 Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim, son of Josiah, king in succession to his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Jehoahaz to Egypt, where he died.
Farawon Néco te fè Éliakim, fis a Josias la wa nan plas Josias, papa li e te chanje non li an Jojakim. Men li te mennen Joachaz sòti. Li te mennen li an Égypte e li te mouri la.
35 Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh Neco, but in order to meet Pharaoh's demand he taxed the land and required payment of the silver and the gold from the people, each in proportion to their wealth.
Konsa, Jojakim te bay ajan avèk lò a Farawon, men li te egzije kontribisyon sou peyi a pou l ta kab bay lajan lè Farawon te mande li. Li te egzije ajan avèk lò a soti nan pèp peyi a, chak moun selon kalkil valè pa li, pou vèse bay a Farawon Néco.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Zebidah, daughter of Pedaiah She came from Rumah.
Jojakim te gen laj venn-senkan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye onzan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Zébudda, fi a Pedaja a nan Ruma.
37 He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as his forefathers had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa zansèt li yo te konn fè yo.
