2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada has strengthened himself, and takes the heads of the hundreds, even Azariah son of Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, into the covenant with him.
Sou setyèm lanne a, Jeojada, prèt la, pran kouraj li ak de men, li deside lè a rive pou l' fè sa pou l' fè a. Li fè rele senk kaptenn nan lame a: Azarya, pitit Jewokam, Ismayèl, pitit Jokanan, Azaryawou, pitit gason Obèd, Maseja, pitit gason Adaja ak Elichafat, pitit Zikri. Li pran yon dizon ak yo.
2 And they go around in Judah, and gather the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of Israel, and come to Jerusalem,
Mesye sa yo vwayaje ale nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo, yo al chache moun Levi yo ak tout chèf fanmi yo, fè yo moute lavil Jerizalèm.
3 and all the assembly make a covenant in the house of God with the king, and he says to them, “Behold, the son of the king reigns, as YHWH spoke concerning the sons of David.
Yo tout reyini nan Tanp lan. Yo pase yon kontra ak wa Joas, lèfini Jeojada di yo: -Men pitit gason defen wa nou an. Se li menm ki pral gouvènen koulye a jan Seyè a te pwomèt fanmi David la.
4 This [is] the thing that you do: the third of you, going in on the Sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [are] for gatekeepers of the thresholds,
Men sa nou pral fè: Lè prèt yo ak moun Levi yo va vin pran pòs jou repo a, y'a separe fè twa gwoup menm fòs. Yon gwoup va fè pòs nan pòtay Tanp lan.
5 and the third [are] at the house of the king, and the third at the Foundation Gate, and all the people [are] in the courts of the house of YHWH.
Yon lòt gwoup va pran pòs bò palè wa a. Rès yo va moute lagad bò pòtay fondasyon an. Tout pèp la va sanble nan gwo lakou Tanp Seyè a.
6 And none enter the house of YHWH except the priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for they [are] holy), and all the people keep the watch of YHWH;
Pa kite pesonn antre anndan Tanp lan, esepte prèt ak moun Levi ki nan sèvis yo. Yo menm yo gen dwa antre, paske yo mete yo apa pou Bondye. Tout rès pèp la va rete deyò pou moute lagad pou Seyè a.
7 and the Levites have surrounded the king all around, each with his weapon in his hand, and he who has gone into the house is put to death; and be with the king in his coming in and in his going out.”
Moun Levi yo va fè yon wonn ak wa a nan mitan yo. Y'a kenbe zam yo nan men yo. Kote wa a va fè, y'a mache avè l' nan pozisyon sa a. Si yon moun ta vle seye antre nan Tanp lan, touye l'.
8 And the Levites and all Judah do according to all that Jehoiada the priest has commanded, and each takes his men going in on the Sabbath, with those going out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest has not let away the divisions.
Moun Levi yo ak tout moun peyi Jida yo fè tou sa Jeojada te ba yo lòd fè a. Jeojada, prèt la, pa t' kite gwoup ki te fin fè sèvis yo jou repo a ale. Konsa, kaptenn lame yo te gen avèk yo ni sa ki t'ap vin pran sèvis, ni sa ki te fin fè sèvis yo.
9 And Jehoiada the priest gives to the heads of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that [are] King David’s, that [are] in the house of God;
Jeojada bay kaptenn lame yo frenn ak divès plak pwotèj wa David yo ki te sere nan Tanp Bondye a.
10 and he stations the whole of the people, and each [with] his dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house to the left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by the king, all around.
Li mete moun ak nepe nan men yo sou tout devan Tanp lan ak devan lotèl la, depi sou bò gòch rive sou bò dwat Tanp lan pou pwoteje wa a.
11 And they bring out the son of the king, and put the crown on him, and [give him] the Testimony, and cause him to reign; and Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, “Let the king live!”
Lèfini, li fè Joas, pitit wa a, soti. Li mete kouwòn lan sou tèt li, li pase ti chenn yo nan ponyèt li ak nan janm li. Yo fè l' wa. Jeojada, prèt la, ak pitit li yo vide lwil sou tèt Joas pou mete l' apa pou travay la. Tout pèp la pran rele: -Viv wa a!
12 And Athaliah hears the voice of the people who are running, and who are praising the king, and she comes to the people [in] the house of YHWH,
Lè Atali tande bri pye pèp la ki t'ap kouri epi ki t'ap bat bravo pou wa a, li prese al nan Tanp kote pèp la te ye a.
13 and sees, and behold, the king is standing by his pillar in the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah tears her garments and says, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”
Li wè wa a te kanpe bò gwo poto a, bò pòtay pou antre nan Tanp lan, chèf yo ak tout mizisyen yo bò kote l'. Tout pèp la te kontan, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt. Sanba yo ak enstriman mizik yo t'ap voye chante. Kè Atali kase, li chire rad sou li, li pran rele: -Men yo moute yon konplo sou do m'.
14 And Jehoiada the priest brings out the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and says to them, “Take her out from within the rows, and he who has gone after her is put to death by the sword”; for the priest said, “Do not put her to death [in] the house of YHWH.”
Lamenm Jeojada, prèt la, bay kaptenn ki t'ap kòmande lame a lòd, li di yo: -Pase nan mitan de ran sòlda yo avè l', mennen l' deyò. Touye nenpòt moun nou wè ki ta vle swiv li. Prèt la te bay lòd pou yo pa touye Atali anndan Tanp Seyè a.
15 And they make sides for her, and she comes to the entrance of the Horse Gate at the house of the king, and they put her to death there.
Yo pran Atali, yo mennen l' nan palè wa a, bò Pòtay Chwal yo. Se la yo touye l'.
16 And Jehoiada makes a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to YHWH;
Lè sa a, Jeojada pase yon kontra ak wa a ansanm ak tout pèp la. Dapre kontra a, yo rekonèt se pèp Seyè a yo ye.
17 and all the people enter the house of Ba‘al, and break it down, indeed, they have broken his altars and his images, and they have slain Mattan priest of Ba‘al before the altars.
Lè yo fini, tout pèp la ale nan tanp Baal la, yo demoli l'. Yo kraze tout lotèl yo ak tout estati li yo. Yo touye Matan, prèt Baal la, devan lotèl yo.
18 And Jehoiada puts the offices of the house of YHWH into the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had apportioned over the house of YHWH, to cause the burnt-offerings of YHWH to ascend, as written in the Law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands of David;
Jeojada mete gad pou fè faksyon devan Tanp Seyè a, anba otorite prèt yo ak moun Levi yo ki te reskonsab travay nan Tanp lan. Chak prèt ak chak moun Levi te gen jou pa yo David te ba yo pou yo te pran sèvis pou boule nèt ofrann pou Seyè a, dapre lalwa Moyiz la. Se yo menm tou ki te reskonsab voye chante kè kontan jan David te moutre l' la.
19 and he stations the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of YHWH, and the unclean in anything do not go in.
Jeojada mete gad an faksyon devan pòtay Tanp lan pou enpoze moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a antre.
20 And he takes the heads of the hundreds, and the majestic ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and brings down the king from the house of YHWH, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom.
Apre sa, li pran kaptenn yo, notab yo, otorite yo ak tout rès pèp la, yo soti nan Tanp lan ansanm ak wa a, yo mennen l' ale nan palè a. Yo pase antre nan pòtay Wa a. Lèfini, yo fè wa a chita sou fotèy li.
21 And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city has been quiet, and they have put Athaliah to death by the sword.
Tout pèp la te kontan anpil. Pat gen yon ti bri nan lavil la depi yo te fin touye Atali ak kout nepe a.
