2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel.
Alò, Ézéchias te voye kote tout Israël avèk Juda, e anplis, li te ekri lèt a Éphraïm avèk Manassé pou yo ta vini lakay SENYÈ a Jérusalem pou selebre Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
Paske wa a avèk chèf pa li yo ak tout asanble Jérusalem nan te pran desizyon pou selebre Pak la nan dezyèm mwa a.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
Yo fè sa akoz yo pa t ka selebre li nan lè sa a, akoz prèt yo potko konsakre yo menm an kantite ase, ni pèp la potko rasanble Jérusalem.
4 And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation.
Konsa, bagay la te kòrèk nan zye a wa a avèk tout asanble a.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers according as it is written.
Pou sa, yo te etabli yon dekrè pou sikile kòm yon pwoklamasyon pami tout Israël soti nan Beer-Schéba jis rive menm nan Dan, pou yo ta kapab vin selebre Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, Jérusalem. Paske yo pa t selebre li an gran nonb depi lè li te premye etabli a.
6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying: 'Ye children of Israel, turn back unto the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that He may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Mesaje yo te ale patou nan tout Israël avèk Juda avèk lèt soti nan men a wa a avèk chèf li yo menm, selon lòd a wa a. Yo te di: “O fis Israël yo, retounen kote SENYÈ a, Bondye Abraham nan, Isaac, avèk Israël la, pou Li kapab retounen kote sila nan nou ki fin chape e retire soti nan men a wa Asiryen yo.
7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who acted treacherously against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He delivered them to be an astonishment, as ye see.
Pa fè tankou papa zansèt nou yo avèk frè nou yo ki pa t fidèl a SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo, jiskaske li te fè yo parèt tankou yon laperèz etonan, jan nou wè a.
8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that His fierce anger may turn away from you.
Alò, pa fè tèt di tankou papa zansèt nou yo, men bay plas a SENYÈ a. Antre nan sanktyè ke Li te konsakre jis pou tout tan an, e sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou kòlè Li k ap brile a kapab vire kite nou.
9 For if ye turn back unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come back into this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him.'
Paske si nou retounen kote SENYÈ a, frè nou yo avèk fis nou yo va jwenn mizerikòd devan sila ki te mennen yo an kaptivite yo, e yo va retounen nan peyi sa a. Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, plen gras avèk konpasyon e Li p ap vire fas Li kite nou si nou retounen kote Li.”
10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
Pou sa, mesaje yo te pase soti nan yon vil a yon lòt vil, toupatou nan peyi Éphraïm avèk Manassé, e soti rive Zabulon. Men yo te fè grimas sou yo, yo te giyonnen yo, e moke yo.
11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
Sepandan, kèk nan mesye Aser yo, Manassé, avèk Zabulon yo te imilye yo, e yo te vini Jérusalem.
12 Also in Judah was the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of the LORD.
Anplis, men Bondye te sou Juda pou bay yo yon sèl kè pou fè sa ke wa a avèk chèf yo te kòmande yo a, pa pawòl SENYÈ a.
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
Alò, anpil moun te rasanble Jérusalem pou selebre Fèt Pen San Ledven an nan dezyèm mwa a, yon asanble ki te trè trè gran.
14 And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
Yo te leve e te retire fo lotèl ki te Jérusalem yo. Anplis, yo te retire tout fo lotèl lansan yo e te jete yo nan flèv Cédron an.
15 Then they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings into the house of the LORD.
Epi yo te touye jèn mouton Pak yo nan katòzyèm jou nan dezyèm mwa a. Konsa, prèt yo avèk Levit yo te vin wont a yo menm, e te konsakre yo menm, e te pote ofrann brile yo lakay SENYÈ a.
16 And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests dashed the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
Yo te kanpe nan estasyon pa yo selon koutim pa yo, selon lalwa Moïse la, nonm Bondye a. Prèt yo te aspèje san ke yo te resevwa nan men Levit yo.
17 For there were many in the congregation that had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passover lambs for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
Paske te gen anpil prèt nan asanble a ki pa t konsakre yo menm. Pou sa, Levit yo te responsab pou touye jèn mouton Pak yo ki te pou tout sila ki pa t pwòp yo, pou yo ta kapab vin konsakre yo a SENYÈ a.
18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying: 'The good LORD pardon
Paske yon foul nan pèp la, menm anpil nan Éphraïm avèk Manassé, Issacar ak Zabulon pa t pirifye yo menm, sepandan yo te manje Pak la yon lòt jan ke sa ki te premye etabli a. Paske Ézéchias te priye pou yo e te di: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab padone
19 every one that setteth his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification that pertaineth to holy things.'
tout sila ki prepare kè yo pou chache Bondye, SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt li yo, malgre se pa selon règleman pou pirifikasyon nan sanktyè a.”
20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a te tande Ézéchias e te geri pèp la.
21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
Fis a Israël ki te la Jérusalem yo te selebre Fèt Pen San Ledven an pandan sèt jou avèk gran jwa, e Levit yo avèk prèt yo te louwe SENYÈ a, jou apre jou, avèk enstriman ki te fè gwo son a SENYÈ a.
22 And Hezekiah spoke encouragingly unto all the Levites that were well skilled in the service of the LORD. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Epi Ézéchias te pale ankourajman a tout Levit ki te montre gwo kapasite pou afè SENYÈ yo. Konsa, yo te manje pandan sèt jou ki te chwazi yo pandan yo t ap fè sakrifis ofrann lapè yo e t ap bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo a.
23 And the whole congregation took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept other seven days with gladness.
Anfen, tout asanble a te deside selebre yon lòt sèt jou ankò, e yo te selebre sèt jou yo avèk kè kontan.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.
Paske Ézéchias, wa Juda a, te bay asanble a mil towo ak sèt-mil mouton; epi prens yo te bay yon mil towo ak di-mil mouton. Konsa, yon gran kantite nan prèt yo te konsakre yo menm.
25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
Tout asanble Juda a te rejwi avèk prèt yo ak Levit yo ak tout asanble ki te sòti an Israël la, ni vwayajè ki te sòti nan peyi Israël yo ansanm ak sila ki te rete Juda yo.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
Konsa, te gen gwo lajwa Jérusalem, akoz pa t janm genyen yon bagay parèy a sa Jérusalem depi nan jou a Salomon yo, fis David la, wa Israël la.
27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard of the LORD, and their prayer came up to His holy habitation, even unto heaven.
Epi prèt Levit yo te leve pou te beni pèp la. Vwa yo te tande, e lapriyè yo te rive nan lye sen Li an, menm nan syèl la.
