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 God of Israel.
Ezekyas voye envite tout moun peyi Jida ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Li voye lèt bay branch fanmi Efrayim ak branch fanmi Manase yo. Li voye envite yo pou yo vin nan Tanp Seyè a, lavil Jerizalèm, pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl 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.
Wa a te diskite koze a ak chèf li yo ansanm ak tout pèp lavil Jerizalèm lan: yo deside pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan nan dezyèm mwa a.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
Yo pa t' ka fè l' lè pou yo te fè l' la pou de rezon. Pou konmanse, pa t' ankò gen kont pret ki te nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Lèfini, tout pep la pa t' reyini lavil Jerizalèm.
4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
Ni wa a, ni pèp la te dakò se te yon bon lide pou yo te fè l' lè sa 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 God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
Se konsa yo pran desizyon voye envitasyon bay tout pèp Izrayèl la, depi lavil Becheba nan sid jouk lavil Dann nan nò, pou yo vini lavil Jerizalèm fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Paske anvan sa, tout moun yo pa t' konn vini nan fèt la jan Lalwa mande l' la.
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 again unto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Se konsa yo voye mesaje nan tout peyi Jida a ak nan tout peyi Izrayèl la avèk lèt wa a te siyen ansanm ak chèf li yo. Dapre lòd wa a te bay, men mesaj yo t'ap mache fè konnen: -Nou menm rès pèp Izrayèl la, nou menm ki te chape anba men wa peyi Lasiri yo lè yo te anvayi peyi a, tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Izrayèl la, konsa l'a tounen vin jwenn nou tou.
7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
Piga nou fè tankou zansèt nou yo ak lòt frè parèy nou yo ki pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Nou wè jan li te kite yo fini.
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 the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
Pa fè tèt di tankou zansèt nou yo, men soumèt nou devan Seyè a. Vin lavil Jerizalèm nan Tanp Seyè a te mete apa pou li pou toutan an. Sevi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou Seyè a pa fache sou nou ankò.
9 For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again 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.
Si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, lènmi ki te fè moun menm fanmi ak nou yo ak pitit nou yo prizonye a va gen pitye pou yo, l'a kite yo tounen nan peyi yo. Paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se yon Bondye ki gen bon kè, yon Bondye ki gen pitye pou moun. Si nou tounen vin jwenn li, l'a louvri bra l' ban nou.
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.
Mesaje yo ale toupatou nan peyi moun Efrayim ak moun Manase yo, yo pase nan tout lavil yo, yo rive jouk nan peyi moun Zabilon yo. Men, moun t'ap ri yo, yo t'ap pase yo nan betiz.
11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
Tansèlman, te gen kèk moun nan branch fanmi Asè, nan branch fanmi Manase ak nan branch fanmi Zabilon ki rekonèt fòt yo epi ki moute lavil Jerizalèm.
12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
Bondye te manyen kè moun peyi Jida yo tou, yo mete tèt ansanm pou yo fè sa wa a ak lòt chèf yo te mande yo fè, dapre lòd Seyè a te bay.
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
Se konsa, yon pakèt moun sanble lavil Jerizalèm nan dezyèm mwa a, pou yo fete fèt Pen san ledven yo.
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 pran tout lòt lotèl kote yo te konn boule bèt yo ofri yo ak lotèl kote yo boule lansan ki te lavil Jerizalèm yo, yo al voye yo jete nan Fon Sedwon an.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.
Nan katòzyèm jou dezyèm mwa a, yo touye ti mouton Delivrans yo. Prèt yo ak moun Levi ki pa t' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a vin wont tèt yo, yo fè sa pou yo fè pou yo ka nan kondisyon pou sèvis Seyè a, lèfini yo antre nan Tanp lan al boule bèt yo ofri nèt pou Seyè a.
16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
Yo al pran plas yo nan Tanp lan dapre regleman ki nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a. Moun Levi yo bay prèt yo san bèt yo pou yo vide sou lotèl la.
17 For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord.
Te gen anpil moun ki pa t' mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a. Kifè yo pa t' kapab touye ti mouton Delivrans pa yo. Konsa, se moun Levi yo ki te fè l' pou yo, lèfini ki te mete yo apa nèt pou Seyè 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 was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord pardon every one
Paske pifò moun ki te soti nan branch fanmi Efrayim, nan branch fanmi Manase, nan branch fanmi Isaka ak nan branch fanmi Zabilon yo pa t' fè sèvis pou mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Yo te manje manje Delivrans lan yon jan ki pa konfòm ak sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa a. Men, Ezekyas lapriyè Bondye pou yo, li di: -O Seyè, Bondye zansèt nou yo, pou jan ou gen bon kè, tanpri padonnen
19 That prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
tout moun sa yo ki soti pou sèvi ou ak tout kè yo, menm si yo pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou, pou yo manyen sa yo mete apa pou ou yo.
20 And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Seyè a tande lapriyè Ezekyas te fè a, li padonnen 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.
Konsa pandan sèt jou, moun pèp Izrayèl ki te sanble lavil Jerizalèm yo fete fèt Pen san ledven yo avèk anpil kè kontan. Chak jou, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo menm t'ap chante fè lwanj Seyè a, yo t'ap jwe enstriman mizik yo byen fò pou Seyè a.
22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the Lord: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers.
Ezekyas t'ap ankouraje tout moun Levi yo pou jan yo t'ap mennen sèvis Seyè a byen. Pandan sèt jou, tout pèp la t'ap manje manje fèt Delivrans lan, yo fè ofrann pou mande padon, yo t'ap di Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, mèsi.
23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
Apre sa, tout pèp la tonbe dakò pou yo pase sèt lòt jou ankò ap fè fèt. Se konsa, yo fete pou sèt lòt jou ankò ak kè kontan.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, te bay mil (1.000) towo bèf ak sètmil (7.000) mouton pou yo bay pèp la manje. Lòt otorite yo menm bò pa yo te bay mil towo bèf ak dimil mouton. Anpil prèt te mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvis Seyè a.
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 moun te kontan, depi moun peyi Jida yo, prèt yo, moun Levi yo jouk moun ki te soti nan peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon ki te tabli ni nan peyi Jida a ni nan peyi Izrayèl la.
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.
Se te gwo fèt nan lavil Jerizalèm, paske depi sou rèy Salomon, pitit David, wa pèp Izrayèl la, pa t' janm gen bagay konsa lavil Jerizalèm.
27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
Apre sa, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo kanpe, yo mande benediksyon Bondye pou tout pèp la. Lapriyè yo moute rive jouk nan syèl la, kay Bondye a menm, kote Bondye ki apa nèt la rete a. Bondye tande lapriyè yo.
