2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem,
Josias te gen laj a uitan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye tran-te-yen nan Jérusalem.
2 and he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the ways of his father David, and has not turned aside [to] the right or left.
Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a. Li te mache nan chemen a David, papa zansèt pa li a e li pa t vire akote ni adwat ni agoch.
3 And in the eighth year of his reign (and he [is] yet a youth), he has begun to seek for the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he has begun to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images.
Paske nan uityèm ane règn pa li a, pandan li te toujou nan jenès li, li te kòmanse chache Bondye a papa zansèt li a, David. Epi nan douzyèm ane a, li te kòmanse pirifye Juda avèk Jérusalem sou afè a wo plas yo, Asherim nan, imaj taye yo ak imaj fonn yo.
4 And they break down the altars of the Ba‘alim before him, and he has cut down the images that [are] on high above them, and the Asherim, and the carved images, and the molten images, he has broken and beaten small, and strews [them] on the surface of the graves of those sacrificing to them,
Yo te chire desann lotèl Baal yo nan prezans li, lotèl lansan ki te byen wo sou yo, li te koupe yo desann. Anplis, Asherim yo, imaj taye yo ak imaj fonn yo, li te kase yo an mòso, kraze yo fè poud e li te gaye l sou tonm a sila ki te fè sakrifis a yo menm yo.
5 and he has burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and cleanses Judah and Jerusalem,
Li te brile zo a prèt Baal yo sou lotèl la, e li te pirifye Juda avèk Jérusalem.
6 and in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, with their tools, all around.
Nan vil a Manassé yo, Éphraïm, Siméon, jis rive Nephthali, nan mazi kraze yo,
7 And he breaks down the altars and the Asherim, and he has beaten down the carved images very small, and he has cut down all the images in all the land of Israel, and turns back to Jerusalem.
li te osi chire fè desann lotèl yo. Li te kraze Asherim avèk imaj taye yo jiskaske yo te fè poud, e te koupe desann lotèl lansan yo toupatou nan peyi Israël la. Anfen, li te retounen Jérusalem.
8 And in the eighteenth year of his reign, to purify the land and the house, he has sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah head of the city, and Joah son of Johaz the remembrancer, to strengthen the house of his God YHWH.
Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane règn li a, lè li te fin pirifye peyi a avèk kay la, li te voye Schaphan, fis a Atsalia a avèk Maaséja, yon ofisye lavil la ak Joach, fis a Joachaz la, grefye a, pou repare lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
9 And they come to Hilkiah the high priest, and they give the money that is brought into the house of God, that the Levites, keeping the threshold, have gathered from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Yo te vin kote Hilkaja, wo prèt la, e yo te livre li lajan ki te pote lakay Bondye a, ke Levit yo, gadyen pòtay yo, te kolekte soti Manassé, Éphraïm, de tout retay Israël yo, e soti nan tout Juda avèk Benjamin ak pèp Jérusalem nan.
10 and they give [it] into the hand of the workmen, those appointed over the house of YHWH, and they give it [to] the workmen who are working in the house of YHWH, to repair and to strengthen the house;
Yo te ba li nan men a ouvriye ki te sipèvize lakay SENYÈ a, epi ouvriye ki t ap travay lakay SENYÈ a te sèvi ak li pou restore e repare kay la.
11 and they give [it] to craftsmen and to builders to buy hewn stones, and wood for couplings and for beams [for] the houses that the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Yo menm, te remèt li a chapant avèk mason yo pou achte wòch taye avèk gwo bwa pou travès ak bwa mare pou kay ke wa nan Juda yo te kite detwi yo.
12 And the men are working faithfully in the business, and over them are appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathite, to overlook; and of the Levites, everyone understanding about instruments of song,
Mesye yo te fè travay la avèk bòn fwa ak fòmann ki sou yo pou sipèvize yo. Yo te sipèrvize pa Jachath avèk Abidias, Levit yo nan fis a Merari yo, Zacharie avèk Meschallam nan fis a Keatit yo ak Levit yo, tout moun ki te gen gwo kapasite, ak lòt ki te fò nan jwe enstriman mizik yo.
13 and over the burden-bearers, and overseers of everyone doing work for every service; and of the Levites [are] scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers.
Anplis, yo te sou sila ki t ap pote chaj yo, e yo te sipèvize tout ouvriye soti de yon tach a yon lòt. Pami Levit yo te gen skrib, ofisye ak sipèvizè.
14 And in their bringing out the money that is brought into the house of YHWH, Hilkiah the priest has found the Scroll of the Law of YHWH by the hand of Moses,
Lè yo t ap pote fè sòti lajan ki te antre lakay SENYÈ a, Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve liv lalwa SENYÈ a ki te bay pa Moïse la.
15 and Hilkiah answers and says to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found [the] Scroll of the Law in the house of YHWH”; and Hilkiah gives the scroll to Shaphan,
Hilkija te reponn e te di a Schaphan, sekretè a: “Mwen te twouve liv lalwa lakay SENYÈ a.” Epi Hilkija te bay liv la a Schaphan.
16 and Shaphan brings in the scroll to the king, and brings the king back word again, saying, “All that has been given into the hand of your servants they are doing,
Konsa, Schaphan te pote liv la kote wa a, e te bay yon rapò anplis a wa a. Li te di: “Tout sa ou te konfye a sèvitè ou yo, y ap fè l.
17 and they pour out the money that is found in the house of YHWH, and give it into the hand of those appointed and into the hands of those doing the work.”
Yo deja retire lajan yo te twouve lakay SENYÈ a, e te livre li nan men a sipèvizè yo ak ouvriye yo.”
18 And Shaphan the scribe declares [it] to the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given a scroll to me”; and Shaphan reads in it before the king.
Anplis, Schaphan, sekretè a te di wa a, “Hilkija, prèt la, te ban mwen yon liv.” Epi Schaphan te li ladann nan, nan prezans a wa a.
19 And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the Law, that he tears his garments,
Lè wa a te tande pawòl lalwa yo, li te chire rad li.
20 and the king commands Hilkiah, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Abdon son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, servant of the king, saying,
Epi wa a te kòmande Hilkija, Achikam, fis a Schaphan nan, Abdon, fis Michée a, Schaphan, sekretè a ak Asaja, sèvitè a wa a e te di:
21 “Go, seek YHWH for me, and for him who is left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the scroll that is found, for great [is] the fury of YHWH that is poured on us, because that our fathers did not keep the word of YHWH to do according to all that is written on this scroll.”
“Ale fè ankèt a SENYÈ a pou mwen e pou sila ki rete Israël avèk Juda yo, konsènan pawòl a liv ki te twouve a; paske byen gwo, se kòlè SENYÈ a ki vide sou nou akoz papa zansèt nou yo pa t obsève pawòl a SENYÈ a, pou fè selon tout sa ki ekri nan liv sila a.”
22 And Hilkiah goes, and they of the king, to Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the Second [Quarter], and they speak to her thus.
Konsa, Hilkija avèk sila ke wa a te pale yo te ale kote Hulda, pwofetès la, madanm a Schallum nan, fis a Thokehath la, fis a Hasra a, gadyen vètman yo, (alò, li te rete Jérusalem nan dezyèm katye); epi yo te pale avèk li konsa.
23 And she says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Say to the man who has sent you to me,
Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Di nonm ki te voye nou kote mwen an,
24 Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in calamity on this place and on its inhabitants, all the execrations that are written on the scroll that they read before the king of Judah,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Veye byen, Mwen ap voye malè sou plas sa a ak sou pèp li a, menm tout malediksyon ki ekri nan liv ke yo te li nan prezans a wa Juda a.
25 because that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, so as to provoke Me with all the works of their hands, and My fury is poured out on this place, and it is not quenched.
Akoz yo te abandone Mwen, e te brile lansan a lòt dye yo, pou yo ta kapab pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk tout zèv a men yo; pou sa, kòlè Mwen va vin vide sou plas sa a e li p ap etenn.’”’
26 And to the king of Judah who is sending you to inquire of YHWH, thus you say to him, Thus said YHWH God of Israel, whose words you have heard:
“Men pou wa Juda ki te voye nou fè ankèt devan SENYÈ a, konsa nou va pale a li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la selon pawòl ke ou te tande yo,
27 Because your heart [is] tender, and you are humbled before God in your hearing His words concerning this place and concerning its inhabitants, and are humbled before Me, and tear your garments, and weep before Me, indeed, I have also heard [you]—a declaration of YHWH.
akoz kè ou te mou e ou te imilye ou menm devan Bondye lè ou te tande pawòl Li yo kont plas sa a, e kont pèp li a, akoz ou te imilye ou menm devan Mwen, ou te chire vètman ou e ou te kriye devan M, Mwen anverite te tande ou’, deklare SENYÈ a.
28 Behold, I am gathering you to your fathers, and you have been gathered to your graves in peace, and your eyes do not look on all the calamity that I am bringing on this place and on its inhabitants”; and they bring the king back word.
Tande byen, Mwen va ranmase ou a papa zansèt ou yo, e ou va ranmase a tonm ou an anpè, pou zye ou pa wè tout malè ke Mwen va pote sou plas sa a avèk pèp li a.” Yo te pote bay wa a mesaj sila a.
29 And the king sends and gathers all the elderly of Judah and Jerusalem,
Epi wa a te voye rasanble tout ansyen a Juda avèk Jérusalem yo.
30 and the king goes up to the house of YHWH, and [to] every man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, even all the people, from great even to small, and he reads in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant that is found in the house of YHWH.
Wa a te monte vè lakay SENYÈ a, e tout mesye Juda yo, pèp Jérusalem nan, prèt yo, Levit yo, e tout moun soti nan pi gran jis rive nan pi piti yo—epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl liv akò ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
31 And the king stands on his station, and makes the covenant before YHWH to walk after YHWH, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that are written on this scroll.
Wa a te kanpe nan plas li a, e te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a pou mache nan chemen SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk temwayaj Li yo, avèk règleman Li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou reyisi fè tout pawòl a akò ki ekri nan liv sila yo.
32 And he presents everyone who is found in Jerusalem and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem do according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Anplis, li te fè tout moun ki te prezan Jérusalem avèk Benjamin yo kanpe avèk li. Konsa, pèp Jérusalem la te fè selon akò Bondye a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo a.
33 And Josiah turns aside all the abominations out of all the lands that the sons of Israel have, and causes everyone who is found in Israel to serve, to serve their God YHWH; all his days they did not turn aside from after YHWH, God of their fathers.
Josias te retire tout abominasyon soti nan tout peyi ki te apatyen a fis Israël yo e te fè tout moun ki te prezan an Israël yo sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a. Pandan tout lavi li, yo pa t detounen nan swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.
