2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
Lè fèt la fini, tout moun pèp Izrayèl ki te la yo ale nan tout lavil pèyi Jida yo. Yo kraze moniman wòch yo, yo jete estati zidòl Achera yo, yo demoli dènye tanp ak lotèl kote yo fè sèvis pou zidòl yo. Yo mache fè sa nan tout peyi Jida a, nan peyi moun Benjamen, moun Efrayim ak moun Manase yo. Lèfini, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo tounen lakay yo nan peyi pa yo.
2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priest and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.
Apre sa, Ezekyas separe prèt yo ak moun Levi yo an gwoup ankò. Li bay chak gwoup lè pou yo pran sèvis yonn apre lòt. Nan chak gwoup, chak moun te gen travay pa yo pou fè lè y'ap boule bèt nèt pou Seyè a, lè y'ap fè ofrann pou mande Bondye padon, lè y'ap di Bondye mèsi, lè y'ap fè lwanj li, lè y'ap sèvi l' nan papòt Tanp Seyè a.
3 He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the appointed seasons, as it is written in the Law of the LORD.
Apre sa, li pran nan bèt ki pou li yo li bay pou yo boule nèt pou Seyè a chak maten, chak aswè, pou ofrann jou repo yo, pou fèt lalin nouvèl ak pou lòt gwo jou fèt yo, jan sa ekri nan Lalwa Seyè a.
4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.
Lèfini, li mande moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo pou yo fè ofrann pou prèt ak moun Levi yo, pou mesye sa yo ka bay tout tan yo nan fè travay yo, jan Lalwa Seyè a mande l' la.
5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first-fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
Lè nouvèl la gaye, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pote premye sa yo rekolte nan ble, nan diven, nan lwil oliv, nan siwo myèl ak nan tout lòt danre jaden yo an kantite. Lèfini, yo pote yon dizyèm sou tou sa yo te genyen.
6 And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of hallowed things which were hallowed unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.
Tout moun peyi Izrayèl ak moun peyi Jida ki t'ap viv nan lòt lavil peyi Jida yo te bay yon bèt pou chak dis bèf osinon kabrit ak mouton yo te genyen. Yo pote yon dizyèm nan tout bagay yo te mete apa pou Bondye, sèl Mèt yo a. Yo pote yo fè pil sou pil.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
Yo konmanse pote kado yo depi nan twazyèm mwa a rive sou setyèm mwa a.
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and His people Israel.
Lè wa Ezekyas ak chèf li yo wè kantite bagay moun yo te bay, yo di Bondye mèsi, yo fè lwanj pou pèp Izrayèl la, pèp Bondye a.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
Lè sa a, Ezekyas pale ak prèt yo ansanm ak moun Levi yo sou koze ofrann yo.
10 And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said: 'Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty; for the LORD hath blessed His people; and that which is left is this great store.'
Azarya, granprèt la, moun fanmi Zadòk yo, di l' konsa: -Depi lè pèp la konmanse ap pote ofrann nan Tanp lan, gen kont manje pou moun manje. Lèfini, rete yon bon kantite, paske Seyè a beni pèp li a. Sa ki rete la a, se sa ki te anplis la.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.
Ezekyas bay lòd pou yo pare kèk pyès nan Tanp lan pou sèvi depo. Lè depo yo fin pare,
12 And they brought in the offerings and the tithes and the hallowed things faithfully; and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
li fè mete tout sa yo te pran sou rekòt yo, tout ladim yo ak tout bagay yo te mete apa pou Bondye yo ladan yo. Yo mete Konanya, yon moun Levi, chèf reskonsab ak Chimèyi, frè li, pou adjwen.
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
Yo chwazi dis moun pou travay sou lòd Konanya ak Chimèyi, frè li a, dapre lòd wa a ak Azarya, prèt reskonsab Tanp lan, te bay. Se te Jeiyèl, Azaryawou, Nakat, Asayèl, Jerimòt, Jozaba, Eliyèl, Jismakya, Makat ak Benaja.
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east gate, was over the freewill-offerings of God, to distribute the offerings of the LORD, and the most holy things.
Kore, pitit Jimna a, yon moun Levi ki te chèf gad nan Pòtay sou solèy leve Tanp lan, te reskonsab resevwa kado moun yo te ofri pou Seyè a paske yo te vle. Se li tou ki pou te separe ofrann yo te fè pou Seyè a ak pòsyon yo te mete apa nèt pou Seyè a.
15 And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small;
Nan lòt lavil kote prèt yo rete a, men moun ki te toujou la pou ede Kore: Se te Edèn, Menjamin, Jechwa, Chemaja, Amarya ak Chekanya. Se yo menm ki pou te separe manje a bay moun Levi parèy yo, gran kou piti, dapre travay yo gen pou fè.
16 beside them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of the LORD, for his daily portion, for their service in their charges according to their courses;
Non sèlman yo te bay tout moun Levi ki te gen non yo pote nan rejis fanmi yo, depi sa ki gen twazan laj pou pi piti, pòsyon manje pa yo, men yo te bay chak gwoup moun Levi ki te travay nan Tanp Seyè a chak jou, dapre jou travay yo ak dapre travay yo gen pou fè.
17 and them that were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
Prèt yo te enskri dapre fanmi yo. Men moun Levi yo, depi sa ki gen ventan pou pi piti, te enskri dapre travay pou yo fè ak jou pou yo travay.
18 even to give to them that were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they administered the sacred gifts;
Yo tout te enskri ansanm ak pitit gason yo, pitit fi yo, madanm yo ak tout moun ki sou kont yo, pou yo te ka bay tout tan yo pou travay nan Tanp Bondye a.
19 also for the sons of Aaron the priests, that were in the fields of the open land about their cities, in every city, there were men that were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.
Yo te chwazi moun tou pou mete reskonsab separe manje bay tout prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo, ak moun Levi ki te enskri nan rejis yo epi ki t'ap viv andeyò nan vwazinaj lavil prèt yo.
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.
Se konsa Ezekyas te fè nan tout peyi Jida a. Li te fè sa ki byen, sa ki dwat ak tout kè li devan Seyè a, Bondye li a.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
Nan tou sa li te fè pou sèvis Tanp Bondye a, pou lalwa ak pou kòmandman Bondye yo, li te chache fè volonte Bondye ak tout kè li. Se poutèt sa tout bagay te mache byen pou li.
