2 Kings 23
1 And the king sends, and they gather all [the] elderly of Judah and Jerusalem to him,
Alò wa a te voye rasanble vè li menm tout ansyen Juda ak Jérusalem yo.
2 and the king goes up to the house of YHWH, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small to great, 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 kote kay SENYÈ a ak tout mesye Juda yo, tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem avèk li yo, prèt yo ak pwofèt yo ak tout pèp la, ni gran, ni piti; epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl a liv akò a ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
3 And the king stands by the pillar, and makes the covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this scroll, and all the people stand in the covenant.
Wa a te kanpe akote pilye a pou te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a, pou mache apre SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman avèk temwayaj li yo avèk règleman li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou akonpli pawòl akò a ki te ekri nan liv sa a. Epi tout pèp la te antre nan akò a.
4 And the king commands Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of YHWH all the vessels that are made for Ba‘al, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burns them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and has carried their ashes to Beth-El.
Konsa, wa a te kòmande Hilkija, wo prèt la e prèt a dezyèm lòd yo avèk gadyen pòtay yo pou mennen fè sòti deyò nan tanp SENYÈ a tout veso ki te fèt pou Baal yo, pou Astarté ak pou tout lame syèl la. Konsa, li te brile yo deyò Jérusalem nan chan Cédron an e li te pote sann yo jis rive Béthel.
5 And he has caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed (and they make incense in high places, in cities of Judah and outskirts of Jerusalem), and those making incense to Ba‘al, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of the heavens.
Li te mete deyò tout prèt zidòl ke wa Juda yo te chwazi pou brile lansan nan wo plas yo nan vil Juda yo ak nan andwa Jérusalem yo. Anplis, sila ki te brile lansan a Baal yo, a solèy la, lalin nan, avèk tout gwoup zetwal yo ak tout lame syèl yo.
6 And he brings out the Asherah from the house of YHWH to the outside of Jerusalem, to the Brook of Kidron, and burns it at the Brook of Kidron, and beats it small to dust, and casts its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.
Li te fè mete deyò Astarté la soti lakay SENYÈ a rive Jérusalem nan flèv Cédron an, li te moulen l an poud nèt e li te jete pousyè a nan simityè a pèp la.
7 And he breaks down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of YHWH, where the women are weaving houses for the Asherah.
Osi, li te kraze kay mal pwostitiye sakre ki te lakay SENYÈ a, kote fanm t ap trese bagay yo kwoke pou Astarté yo.
8 And he brings in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiles the high places where the priests have made incense, from Geba to Beer-Sheba, and has broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the Gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city;
Epi li te mennen tout prèt yo soti nan tout vil Juda yo, e li te souye wo plas kote prèt yo te konn brile lansan yo, soti Guéba jis rive Beer-Schéba. Li te kraze wo plas pòtay ki te nan antre pòtay Josué a, majistra vil la, ki te bò kote goch pòtay lavil la.
9 only, the priests of the high places do not come up to the altar of YHWH in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brothers.
Sepandan, prèt wo plas yo pa t monte nan lotèl SENYÈ a Jérusalem, men yo te manje pen san ledven pami frè yo.
10 And he has defiled Topheth that [is] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, so that no man causes his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.
Anplis, li te souye Topheth, ki nan vale fis Hinnom an, pou pèsòn pa t kab fè fis li oswa fi li pase nan dife Moloc la.
11 And he causes to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of YHWH, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the outskirts; and he has burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
Li te retire cheval ke wa a Juda yo te konn bay a solèy la, kote antre kay SENYÈ a, kote chanm Nethan-Mélec la, ofisye a, ki te nan pwovens yo e li te brile cha solèy yo avèk dife.
12 And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of YHWH, the king has broken down, and removes from there, and has cast their dust into the Brook of Kidron.
Lotèl ki te sou twati yo, nan wo chanm Achaz ke wa Juda yo te fè a ak lotèl ke Manassé te fè nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ a, wa a te kraze yo. Li te kraze yo e li te jete poud yo nan flèv Cédron an.
13 And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the Mount of Corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth, abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, abomination of Moab, and to Milcom, abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king has defiled.
Wo plas ki te devan Jérusalem yo, ki te adwat mòn pèdisyon ke Salomon te bati pou Astarté la, abominasyon a Sidonyen yo, avèk Kemosch, abominasyon a fis Ammon yo, wa a te souye yo.
14 And he has broken the standing-pillars in pieces, and cuts down the Asherim, and fills their place with bones of men;
Li te kraze an mòso pilye sakre yo, li te koupe Astarté yo e li te plen plas yo avèk zo moun.
15 and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he has broken down, and burns the high place—he has beat it small to dust, and has burned the Asherah.
Anplis, lotèl ki te Béthel la avèk wo plas ke Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a, menm lotèl sila a avèk wo plas la a li te kraze. Epi li te kraze wòch li yo, li te moulen yo jis yo te fè poud e li te brile Astarté la.
16 And Josiah turns, and sees the graves that [are] there on the mountain, and sends and takes the bones out of the graves, and burns [them] on the altar, and defiles it, according to the word of YHWH that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
Alò, lè Josias te vire gade, li te wè tout simityè ki te sou mòn nan e li te voye pran zo ki te ladann yo, li te brile yo sou lotèl la e te souye li pa pawòl SENYÈ a, ke nonm Bondye a te pwoklame a, sila ki te pwoklame bagay sa yo.
17 And he says, “What [is] this sign that I see?” And the men of the city say to him, “The grave of the man of God who has come from Judah, and proclaims these things that you have done concerning the altar of Beth-El.”
Alò, li te di: “Se ki moniman sa a ke m wè la a?” Epi mesye lavil yo te di l: “Li se tonm a nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a pou te pwoklame bagay sa yo ke ou te fè kont lotèl Béthel la.”
18 And he says, “Leave him alone, let no man touch his bones”; and they let his bones escape with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
Li te di: “Lese li; pa kite pèsòn deranje zo li.” Konsa, yo te kite zo li yo san deranje avèk zo a pwofèt ki te sòti Samarie a.
19 And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, Josiah has turned aside, and does to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.
Anplis, Josias te retire tout kay nan wo plas ki te nan vil Samarie yo, ke wa Israël la te fè pou te pwovoke SENYÈ a, epi li te fè a yo menm sa ke li te fè Béthel la.
20 And he slays all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burns the bones of man on them, and turns back to Jerusalem.
Tout prèt a wo plas ki te prezan yo, li te touye yo sou lotèl yo, e li te brile zo moun yo sou yo. Konsa, li te retounen Jérusalem.
21 And the king commands the whole of the people, saying, “Make a Passover to your God YHWH, as it is written on this scroll of the covenant.”
Wa a te kòmande tout pèp la. Li te di: “Selebre fèt Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan sa ekri nan liv akò sila a.”
22 Surely there has not been made like this Passover from the days of the ones judging who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;
Anverite, yon Pak tankou sila a pa t selebre depi nan jou a jij ki te jije Israël yo, ni nan tout jou a wa Israël yo avèk wa Juda yo.
23 but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover has been made to YHWH in Jerusalem.
Men nan di-zuityèm ane a Wa Josias la, Pak sila a te obsève Jérusalem.
24 And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, Josiah has put away, in order to establish the words of the Law that are written on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest has found in the house of YHWH.
Anplis, Josias te retire moun ki te konn rele lespri mò yo, avèk bòkò avèk zidòl lakay yo ak tout lòt zidòl avèk tout abominasyon ki te konn wè nan tout peyi Juda a avèk Jérusalem, pou li ta kapab konfime pawòl lalwa ki te ekri nan liv ke Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
25 And like him there has not been before him a king who turned back to YHWH with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, and after him there has none risen like him.
Avan li, pa t gen wa tankou li ki te vire vè SENYÈ a avèk tout kè li, avèk tout nanm li e avèk tout fòs li, selon lalwa Moïse la. Ni pa t gen okenn moun tankou li ki te leve apre li.
26 Only, YHWH has not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,
Malgre sa, SENYÈ a pa t kite chalè gran kòlè Li ki te brile kont Juda, akoz tout pwovokasyon avèk sila Manassé te pwovoke Li yo.
27 and YHWH says, “I also turn Judah aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen—Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My Name is there.”
SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen va retire Juda tou devan zye Mwen, jan mwen te retire Israël la. Mwen va voye jete Jérusalem, vil sila ke M te chwazi a ak tanp sou sila Mwen te di: ‘Non Mwen va la a.’”
28 And the rest of the matters of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josias yo, avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
29 In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt has come up against the king of Asshur, by the Euphrates River, and King Josiah goes out to meet him, and [Pharaoh Necho] puts him to death in Megiddo when he sees him.
Nan jou pa li yo, Farawon Néco, wa Égypte la, te monte kont wa Assyrie a nan Rivyè Euphrate la e Wa Josias te ale rankontre li. Epi lè Néco te wè l, li te touye li Méguiddo.
30 And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.
Sèvitè li yo te kondwi kadav li a nan yon cha soti Méguiddo pou te mennen li rive Jérusalem, e yo te antere li nan pwòp tonm pa li. Konsa, pèp peyi a te pran Joachaz, fis a Josias la, yo te onksyone li, e yo te fè l wa nan plas papa li.
31 Jehoahaz [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
Joachaz te gen laj a venn-twazan lè l te devni wa a e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Hamuthal, fi a Jérémie an nan Libna.
32 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did,
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke zansèt li yo te fè.
33 and Pharaoh Necho binds him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he puts a fine on the land—one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Farawon Néco te fèmen li nan prizon nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath pou li pa renye Jérusalem, epi li te enpoze sou peyi a yon amann san talan ajan avèk yon talan lò.
34 And Pharaoh Necho causes Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of his father Josiah, and turns his name to Jehoiakim, and he has taken Jehoahaz away, and he comes to Egypt, and dies there.
Farawon Néco te fè Éliakim, fis a Josias la wa nan plas Josias, papa li e te chanje non li an Jojakim. Men li te mennen Joachaz sòti. Li te mennen li an Égypte e li te mouri la.
35 And Jehoiakim has given the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh Necho.
Konsa, Jojakim te bay ajan avèk lò a Farawon, men li te egzije kontribisyon sou peyi a pou l ta kab bay lajan lè Farawon te mande li. Li te egzije ajan avèk lò a soti nan pèp peyi a, chak moun selon kalkil valè pa li, pou vèse bay a Farawon Néco.
36 Jehoiakim [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,
Jojakim te gen laj venn-senkan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye onzan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Zébudda, fi a Pedaja a nan Ruma.
37 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa zansèt li yo te konn fè yo.
