2 Kings 22

1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.

Josias te gen laj uitan lè l te vin wa a e li te renye tranteyen ane Jérusalem. Non manman li te Jedida, fi Adaja a nan Botskath.

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan tout chemen a zansèt papa li a, David, ni li pa t vire akote ni adwat, ni agoch.

3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,

Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane Wa Josias la, wa a te voye Schaphan, fis a Atsalia a, fis a Meschullam nan, skrib la, lakay SENYÈ a. Li te di:

4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:

“Monte kote Hilkija, wo prèt la, pou li kapab kontwole lajan ki antre lakay SENYÈ a, lajan ke gadyen pòtay yo te ranmase soti nan pèp la.

5 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,

Kite yo livre li nan men a ouvriye k ap dirije lakay SENYÈ a e kite yo bay li a ouvriye ki lakay SENYÈ a pou repare donmaj nan kay la;

6 To carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

pou chapant yo, konstriktè yo avèk mason yo e pou achte gwo bwa avèk wòch taye pou fè reparasyon kay la.

7 However, there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

Sèlman, nou p ap fè kontabilite pou lajan ki livre nan men yo, paske yo aji an bòn fwa.”

8 And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

Alò, Hilkija, wo prèt la, te di a Schaphan, skrib la: “Mwen te twouve liv lalwa a lakay SENYÈ a.” Konsa, Hilkija te bay liv la a Schaphan ki te li li.

9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Your servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.

Schaphan, skrib la, te rive kote wa a. Li te pote pawòl la kote wa a, e li te di: “Sèvitè ou yo te vide lajan ki te twouve nan kay la e yo te livre li nan men a ouvriye k ap dirije lakay SENYÈ a.”

10 And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

Anplis, Schaphan, skrib la, te pale wa a e te di: “Hilkija, prèt la, te ban mwen yon liv.” Epi Schaphan te li li nan prezans a wa a.

11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.

Lè wa a te tande pawòl a liv lalwa a, li te chire rad li.

12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king’s, saying,

Epi wa a te kòmande Hilkija, prèt la, Achikam fis a Schaphanb la, Acbor, fis a Michée a, a Schaphan, skrib la e a Asaja, sèvitè wa a:

13 Go you, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.

“Ale mande a SENYÈ a pou mwen avèk pèp la ak tout Juda selon pawòl a liv sa a ki te twouve a. Paske gran se kòlè SENYÈ a ki brile kont nou, akoz zansèt papa nou yo pa t koute pawòl a liv sa a, pou fè selon tout sa ki ekri konsènan nou.”

14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelled in Jerusalem in the college; ) and they communed with her.

Pou sa, Hilkija, prèt la, Achikam, Acbor, Schaphan e Asaja te ale kote Hulda, pwofetès la, madanm a Schallum nan, fis a Thikva a, fis a Harhas la, ki te an chaj vètman yo. (Alò, li te rete Jérusalem nan Katye Second lan). Yo te pale avèk li.

15 And she said to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,

Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Pale nonm ki te voye ou kote mwen an,

16 Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read:

Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen va pote malè sou plas sa a ak sou sila ki rete ladann yo, menm tout pawòl a liv sa a ke wa Juda te di yo.

17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

Akoz yo te abandone Mwen e te brile lansan a lòt dye yo pou yo ta kab pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk tout zèv men pa yo; pou sa, gran lakòlè Mwen va brile kont plas sa a, e li p ap etenn.”’

18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which you have heard;

Men pou wa Juda a, ki te voye ou pou mande a SENYÈ a, konsa ou va pale ak li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ‘selon pawòl ke ou te tande yo:

19 Because your heart was tender, and you have humbled yourself before the LORD, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have rent your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you, says the LORD.

Akoz kè ou te vin mou e ou te imilye ou devan SENYÈ a lè ou te tande sa Mwen te pale kont plas sa a ak kont sila ki rete ladann yo, pou yo ta devni yon dezolasyon ak yon malediksyon, epi akoz ou te chire rad ou e te kriye devan Mwen, anverite, Mwen te tande ou,’ deklare SENYÈ a.

20 Behold therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered into your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring on this place. And they brought the king word again.

Pou sa, byen gade, Mwen va ranmase ou a zansèt pa ou yo e ou va ranmase rive nan tonm pa ou a anpè. Zye ou p ap wè tout mal ke Mwen va mennen sou plas sa a.” Konsa, yo te mennen pote pawòl la bay wa a.
