2 Chronicles 24
1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
Joas te gen sètan lè li moute wa. Li pase karantan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a. Manman l' te yon moun lavil Bècheba ki te rele Zibya.
2 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of YHWH all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
Joas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a toutotan Jeojada, prèt la, pa t' ankò mouri.
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
Jeojada te marye wa a ak de madanm ki ba li pitit gason ak pitit fi.
4 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of YHWH.
Kèk tan apre sa, Joas pran desizyon pou l' repare Tanp Seyè a.
5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your Elohim from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
Li reyini prèt yo ak moun Levi yo, li di yo: -Ale nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo. Ranmase lajan nan men tout pèp la pou repare Tanp lan chak lanne. Souke kò nou, pa mize. Men moun Levi yo pa t' prese.
6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of YHWH, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
Lè sa a, wa a fè rele Jeojada, granprèt la, li di l' konsa: -Poukisa ou pa rele dèyè moun Levi yo pou yo ranmase nan men moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo lajan Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la te dakò pou yo egzije pèp la bay pou Tanp Randevou a?
7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of Elohim; and also all the dedicated things of the house of YHWH did they bestow upon Baalim.
Atali ki te yon fanm vèmen ansanm ak moun pa l' yo te antre fè dega nan Tanp Seyè a. Yo te pran bagay yo te mete apa pou Bondye nan Tanp lan pou fè sèvis pou Baal li yo.
8 And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of YHWH.
Lè sa a wa a bay lòd pou yo fè yon gwo bwat pou yo mete bò pòtay Tanp lan, sou deyò.
9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to YHWH the collection that Moses the servant of Elohim laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
Apre sa, li voye fè konnen nan tout lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida pou tout moun pote bay Seyè a lajan Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te mande pèp Izrayèl la bay lè yo te nan dezè a.
10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
Sa te fè tout chèf yo ak tout pèp la kontan. Yo pote lajan taks la, yo mete l' nan bwat la jouk li rive plen.
11 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
Chak jou, moun Levi yo te pote bwat la bay chèf wa a te mete reskonsab pou sa. Lè yo wè bwat la plen, sekretè wa a ak komisè granprèt la te delege pou sa a wete lajan an. Apre sa, yo mete bwat vid la nan plas li ankò. Yo te fè sa chak jou. Konsa yo te ranmase anpil lajan.
12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of YHWH, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of YHWH, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of YHWH.
Wa a ak Jeojada renmèt lajan an bay moun ki te reskonsab repare Tanp Seyè a. Moun sa yo menm te anplwaye mason ak chapant sou kontra pou repare Tanp Seyè a. Yo te anplwaye bòs ki gen ladrès pou travay fè ak kwiv pou repare Tanp lan tou.
13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of Elohim in his state, and strengthened it.
Tout moun ki te reskonsab travay la mete men. Yo repare Tanp lan, yo mete l' jan l' te ye anvan an, yo fè l' byen solid.
14 And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of YHWH, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of YHWH continually all the days of Jehoiada.
Lè yo fini ak travay reparasyon an, yo pote rès lò ak rès ajan an renmèt wa a ak Jeojada ki sèvi avèk yo pou fè bagay pou Tanp Seyè a, tankou bòl ak veso yo bezwen lè y'ap fè sèvis, lè y'ap boule bèt yo touye pou Bondye ak tout kalite veso an lò ak an ajan. Pandan tout tan Jeojada te la a, yo pa te sispann boule bèt nèt nan dife nan Tanp Seyè a jan pou yo fè l' la.
15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
Men, Jeojada te fin vye granmoun. Li te gen santrantan lè li mouri.
16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward Elohim, and toward his house.
Yo antere l' nan tonm wa yo nan lavil David la, paske li te fè anpil pou pèp Izrayèl la, pou Bondye ak pou Tanp li a.
17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
Mouri Jeojada mouri, chèf peyi Jida yo vin jwenn wa a, yo bese tèt jouk atè devan li. Wa a koute konsèy yo.
18 And they left the house of YHWH Elohim of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
Se konsa pèp la sispann sèvi Bondye zansèt yo nan Tanp Seyè a, yo tanmen fè sèvis pou estati Achera yo ak pou lòt zidòl. Poutèt peche sa a, Seyè a fache anpil sou peyi Jida ak sou lavil Jerizalèm.
19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto YHWH; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
Seyè a voye pwofèt pou fè pèp la tounen vin jwenn li, men pèp la derefize koute sa pwofèt yo t'ap di yo.
20 And the Spirit of Elohim came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith Elohim, Why transgress ye the commandments of YHWH, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken YHWH, he hath also forsaken you.
Lè sa a, lespri Bondye desann sou Zakari, pitit gason Jeojada, prèt la. li al kanpe yon kote pou tout pèp la wè l', li di yo konsa: -Seyè a, Bondye a mande poukisa nou pa vle swiv kòmandman li yo kifè n'ap rale malè sou nou konsa? Nou vire do ba li, l'ap vire do ban nou tou!
21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of YHWH.
Men pèp la fè konplo sou do Zakari. Wa a bay lòd pou yo touye l' ak kout wòch nan gran lakou Tanp Seyè a.
22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, YHWH look upon it, and require it.
Joas te bliye tout byen Jeojada, papa Zakari, te fè pou li, li fè touye Zakari. Anvan Zakari rann dènye souf li, li di byen fò: -Se pou Seyè a wè sa ou fè la a, se pou l' pini ou pou sa!
23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
Menm lanne sa a, lè sezon prentan rive, lame peyi Siri a atake wa Joas, yo anvayi peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm. Yo touye tout chèf yo, yo piye peyi a, yo voye tou sa yo te pran bay wa lavil Damas la.
24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and YHWH delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken YHWH Elohim of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
Lame peyi Siri a pa t' anpil, men Seyè a te kite l' kraze yon lame ki te plis pase yo lontan paske pèp Jida a te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a. Se konsa Joas t'ap soufri nan men moun Siri yo pou sa l' te fè a.
25 And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases, ) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Lè moun Siri yo wete kò yo, yo kite wa a malad grav. De nan chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo fè konplo sou do l' pou yo tire revanj lanmò pitit Jeojada, prèt la. Yo touye wa a sou kabann li. Yo antere l' nan lavil David la, men yo pa mete l' nan tonm wa yo.
26 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
Men non chèf ki te fè konplo a: se te Zabad, pitit gason Chimeya, yon fanm peyi Amon ak Jeozabad, pitit Chimrit, yon fanm peyi Moab.
27 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of Elohim, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Nan esplikasyon yo bay sou liv wa yo, n'a jwenn istwa pitit gason Joas yo, mesaj pwofèt yo te bay sou li, epi yo rakonte ki jan li te rebati Tanp Bondye a. Se Amasya, pitit Joas la, ki moute wa nan plas li.
