2 Chronicles 23

1 And in the seuenth yeere Iehoiada waxed bolde, and tooke the captaines of hundreths, to wit, Azariah the sonne of Ieroham, and Ishmael the sonne of Iehohanan, and Azariah the sonne of Obed, and Maasiah the sonne of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the sonne of Zichri in couenant with him.

Sou setyèm lanne a, Jeojada, prèt la, pran kouraj li ak de men, li deside lè a rive pou l' fè sa pou l' fè a. Li fè rele senk kaptenn nan lame a: Azarya, pitit Jewokam, Ismayèl, pitit Jokanan, Azaryawou, pitit gason Obèd, Maseja, pitit gason Adaja ak Elichafat, pitit Zikri. Li pran yon dizon ak yo.

2 And they went about in Iudah, and gathered the Leuites out of all the cities of Iudah, and the chiefe fathers of Israel: and they came to Ierusale.

Mesye sa yo vwayaje ale nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo, yo al chache moun Levi yo ak tout chèf fanmi yo, fè yo moute lavil Jerizalèm.

3 And al the Congregation made a couenant with the King in the house of God: and he sayde vnto them, Behold, the Kings sonne must reigne, as the Lord hath sayd of the sonnes of Dauid.

Yo tout reyini nan Tanp lan. Yo pase yon kontra ak wa Joas, lèfini Jeojada di yo: -Men pitit gason defen wa nou an. Se li menm ki pral gouvènen koulye a jan Seyè a te pwomèt fanmi David la.

4 This is it that ye shall do, The third part of you that come on the Sabbath of the Priests, and the Leuites, shalbe porters of the doores.

Men sa nou pral fè: Lè prèt yo ak moun Levi yo va vin pran pòs jou repo a, y'a separe fè twa gwoup menm fòs. Yon gwoup va fè pòs nan pòtay Tanp lan.

5 And another third part towarde the Kings house, and another thirde part at the gate of the foundation, and al the people shalbe in the courts of the house of the Lord.

Yon lòt gwoup va pran pòs bò palè wa a. Rès yo va moute lagad bò pòtay fondasyon an. Tout pèp la va sanble nan gwo lakou Tanp Seyè a.

6 But let none come into the house of the Lord, saue the Priests, and the Leuites that minister: they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keepe the watch of the Lord.

Pa kite pesonn antre anndan Tanp lan, esepte prèt ak moun Levi ki nan sèvis yo. Yo menm yo gen dwa antre, paske yo mete yo apa pou Bondye. Tout rès pèp la va rete deyò pou moute lagad pou Seyè a.

7 And the Leuites shall compasse the King rounde about, and euery man with his weapon in his hand, and he that entreth into the house, shall be slaine, and be you with the King, when he commeth in, and when he goeth out.

Moun Levi yo va fè yon wonn ak wa a nan mitan yo. Y'a kenbe zam yo nan men yo. Kote wa a va fè, y'a mache avè l' nan pozisyon sa a. Si yon moun ta vle seye antre nan Tanp lan, touye l'.

8 So the Leuites and all Iudah did according to all things that Iehoiada the Priest had commanded, and tooke euery man his men that came on the Sabbath, with them that went out on the Sabbath: for Iehoiada the Priest did not discharge the courses.

Moun Levi yo ak tout moun peyi Jida yo fè tou sa Jeojada te ba yo lòd fè a. Jeojada, prèt la, pa t' kite gwoup ki te fin fè sèvis yo jou repo a ale. Konsa, kaptenn lame yo te gen avèk yo ni sa ki t'ap vin pran sèvis, ni sa ki te fin fè sèvis yo.

9 And Iehoiada the Priest deliuered to the captaines of hundreths speares, and shieldes, and bucklers which had bene King Dauids, and were in the house of God.

Jeojada bay kaptenn lame yo frenn ak divès plak pwotèj wa David yo ki te sere nan Tanp Bondye a.

10 And he caused all the people to stand (euery man with his weapon in his hande) from the right side of the house, to ye left side of the house by the altar and by the house round about ye king.

Li mete moun ak nepe nan men yo sou tout devan Tanp lan ak devan lotèl la, depi sou bò gòch rive sou bò dwat Tanp lan pou pwoteje wa a.

11 Then they brought out the Kings sonne, and put vpon him the crowne and gaue him the testimonie, and made him King. And Iehoiada and his sonnes anoynted him, and sayd, God saue the King.

Lèfini, li fè Joas, pitit wa a, soti. Li mete kouwòn lan sou tèt li, li pase ti chenn yo nan ponyèt li ak nan janm li. Yo fè l' wa. Jeojada, prèt la, ak pitit li yo vide lwil sou tèt Joas pou mete l' apa pou travay la. Tout pèp la pran rele: -Viv wa a!

12 But when Athaliah heard the noyse of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord.

Lè Atali tande bri pye pèp la ki t'ap kouri epi ki t'ap bat bravo pou wa a, li prese al nan Tanp kote pèp la te ye a.

13 And when she looked, beholde, the King stoode by his pillar at the entring in, and the princes and the trumpets by the King, and all the people of the land reioyced, and blew the trumpets, and the singers were with instruments of musike, and they that could sing prayse: then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason.

Li wè wa a te kanpe bò gwo poto a, bò pòtay pou antre nan Tanp lan, chèf yo ak tout mizisyen yo bò kote l'. Tout pèp la te kontan, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt. Sanba yo ak enstriman mizik yo t'ap voye chante. Kè Atali kase, li chire rad sou li, li pran rele: -Men yo moute yon konplo sou do m'.

14 Then Iehoiada the Priest brought out the captaines of hundreths that were gouernours of the hoste, and said vnto them, Haue her foorth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him dye by the sword: for the Priest had said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.

Lamenm Jeojada, prèt la, bay kaptenn ki t'ap kòmande lame a lòd, li di yo: -Pase nan mitan de ran sòlda yo avè l', mennen l' deyò. Touye nenpòt moun nou wè ki ta vle swiv li. Prèt la te bay lòd pou yo pa touye Atali anndan Tanp Seyè a.

15 So they layde hands on her: and when she was come to the entring of the horsegate by the Kings house, they slew her there.

Yo pran Atali, yo mennen l' nan palè wa a, bò Pòtay Chwal yo. Se la yo touye l'.

16 And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene him, and all the people, and the King, that they would be the Lords people.

Lè sa a, Jeojada pase yon kontra ak wa a ansanm ak tout pèp la. Dapre kontra a, yo rekonèt se pèp Seyè a yo ye.

17 And all the people went to the house of Baal, and destroyed, and brake his altars and his images, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

Lè yo fini, tout pèp la ale nan tanp Baal la, yo demoli l'. Yo kraze tout lotèl yo ak tout estati li yo. Yo touye Matan, prèt Baal la, devan lotèl yo.

18 And Iehoiada appointed officers for the house of the Lord, vnder the handes of the Priestes and Leuites, whome Dauid had distributed for the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with reioycing and singing by the appoyntment of Dauid.

Jeojada mete gad pou fè faksyon devan Tanp Seyè a, anba otorite prèt yo ak moun Levi yo ki te reskonsab travay nan Tanp lan. Chak prèt ak chak moun Levi te gen jou pa yo David te ba yo pou yo te pran sèvis pou boule nèt ofrann pou Seyè a, dapre lalwa Moyiz la. Se yo menm tou ki te reskonsab voye chante kè kontan jan David te moutre l' la.

19 And he set porters by the gates of ye house of the Lord, that none that was vncleane in any thing, should enter in.

Jeojada mete gad an faksyon devan pòtay Tanp lan pou enpoze moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a antre.

20 And he tooke the captaines of hundreths, and the noble men, and the gouernours of the people, and all the people of the land, and he caused the King to come downe out of the house of the Lord, and they went thorowe the hie gate of the Kings house, and set the King vpon the throne of the kingdome.

Apre sa, li pran kaptenn yo, notab yo, otorite yo ak tout rès pèp la, yo soti nan Tanp lan ansanm ak wa a, yo mennen l' ale nan palè a. Yo pase antre nan pòtay Wa a. Lèfini, yo fè wa a chita sou fotèy li.

21 Then all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was quiet, after that they had slaine Athaliah with the sword.

Tout pèp la te kontan anpil. Pat gen yon ti bri nan lavil la depi yo te fin touye Atali ak kout nepe a.
