2 Kings 23
1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
Lè sa a, wa Jozyas voye misyon bay tout chèf fanmi nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a pou yo reyini ansanm avè l'.
2 The king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
Apre sa, wa a moute nan Tanp Seyè a ansanm avèk prèt yo, pwofèt yo, tout moun peyi Jida yo, moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo ak tout rès pèp la, grannèg kou tinèg. Wa a kanpe devan yo tout, li li byen fò tou sa ki te nan Liv Kontra yo te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.
3 The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this scroll; and all the people stood to the covenant.
Lè li fini, li rete kanpe nan plas rezève pou li bò gwo poto a, li pran angajman devan Seyè a pou li fè volonte Seyè a, pou li mache dapre kòmandman, prensip ak lòd Bondye yo ak tout kè li ak tout nanm li. Lèfini, pou l' kenbe tout kondisyon kontra ki ekri nan liv la. Tout pèp la pran angajman pou yo kenbe kontra a tou.
4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of the LORD's temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
Apre sa, Jozyas rele Ilkija, granprèt la, prèt ki te avè l' yo ak sòlda ki te desèvis nan pòt Tanp lan, li ba yo lòd al pran nan Tanp lan tout bagay yo te fè pou Baal, pou Achera ak pou zetwal yo, pote yo deyò. Wa a boule tout bagay sa yo andeyò lavil la, bò fon Sedwon an. Lèfini, li fè pote tout sann yo lavil Betèl.
5 He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
Li revoke tout prèt ansyen wa peyi Jida yo te nonmen pou fè sèvis sou lotèl zidòl yo nan lavil peyi Jida yo ak nan zòn Jerizalèm, tout prèt ki t'ap fè sèvis pou Baal, pou solèy, pou lalin, pou douz gwoup zetwal yo ak pou tout lòt zetwal yo.
6 He brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, outside of Jerusalem, to the Kidron Valley, and burned it in the Kidron Valley, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
Li wete estati Achera, zidòl fanm ki te nan Tanp lan, li fè yo pote l' andeyò lavil la nan fon Sedwon. Li boule l', li kraze l' fè l' tounen pousyè, l' al simen pousyè a nan simityè pèp la.
7 He broke down the living quarters of the temple prostitutes, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.
Li demoli tout kay kote mesyedam k'ap fè jennès pou zidòl yo te rete nan Tanp Seyè a. Se la medam yo te konn fè twal pou estati Achera a tou.
8 He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
Lèfini, li fè tout prèt ki te rete nan lavil peyi Jida yo antre lavil Jerizalèm. Li mache nan tout peyi a depi lavil Geba jouk lavil Bècheba, li gate tout kote prèt sa yo te konn fè sèvis pou zidòl yo, kifè yo pa t' ka sèvi pou sa ankò. Li demoli lotèl pòtay yo, ki te bò pòtay Jozye, gouvènè lavil la, te bati sou bò gòch pòtay prensipal la lè w'ap antre.
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
Tansèlman, prèt ki te sèvi nan tanp zidòl sa yo pa t' gen dwa sèvi nan Tanp lan ankò, men yo te gen dwa manje pen san ledven ansanm ak lòt prèt parèy yo.
10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
Wa Jozyas gate Tofèt la tou, yon tanp zidòl ki te nan fon Enon an, konsa pesonn pa t' ka ofri pitit fi osinon pitit gason yo pou boule pou Molòk ankò.
11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
Li wete chwal wa Jida yo te mete apa pou sèvis bondye Solèy la. Li boule cha ki te konn sèvi nan sèvis pou solèy la. Se nan yon pyès nan lakou tanp lan yo te ye, toupre pòtay la, bò kay kote Netanmelèk, nèg konfyans wa a, te rete.
12 The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the Kidron Valley.
Wa Jozyas demoli lotèl wa Jida yo te fè bati sou teras anwo apatman wa Akaz la, ansanm ak lotèl wa Manase te bati nan de lakou Tanp lan. Li kraze lotèl yo an miyèt moso, li voye yo jete nan fon Sedwon.
13 The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.
Jozyas gate tout lotèl wa Salomon te fè bati sou bò solèy leve lavil Jerizalèm, sou bò sid Mòn Pye Oliv yo, pou fè sèvis pou Astate, vye zidòl peyi Sidon an, pou Kemòch, vye zidòl peyi Moab la, ak Milkòm, vye zidòl peyi Amon an.
14 He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
Wa Jozyas kraze Poto Wòch yo, li koupe estati Achera, zidòl fanm lan. Li kouvri tout kote yo te ye a ak zosman moun.
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
Jozyas demoli lotèl ak tanp zidòl wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, te bati lavil Betèl la tou. Se Jewoboram sa a ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal. Li kraze lotèl la, li fè wòch yo tounen poud. Li boule estati Achera a.
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he saw the tombs that were there in the mountain. And he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast. And he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God who proclaimed these things.
Lèfini, Jozyas voye je l' sou ti mòn lan, li wè yon bann tonm. Li fè detere zosman yo pou boule yo sou lotèl la. Se konsa li gate lotèl la, jan Seyè a te fè pwofèt la di l' la lè Jewoboram te kanpe bò lotèl la pandan fèt la. Apre sa, Jozyas voye je l' gade ankò, li wè tonm pwofèt ki te fè konnen bagay sa yo gen pou rive a.
17 Then he said, "What monument is that which I see?" The men of the city told him, "It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel."
Li mande: —Ki gwo tonm mwen wè laba a: Moun Betèl yo reponn: —Se tonm pwofèt ki te soti peyi Jida vin fè nou konnen sa monwa t'ap vin fè lotèl Betèl la.
18 He said, "Let him be. Let no man move his bones." So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
Jozyas di: —Bon. Kite l' jan li ye a! Piga pesonn manyen zosman li yo. Se konsa yo respekte zosman li yo ansanm ak zosman pwofèt ki te soti lavil Samari a.
19 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
Nan tout lavil peyi Izrayèl yo, wa Jozyas demoli tout kay zidòl wa peyi Izrayèl yo te fè bati epi ki te lakòz Seyè a te fache anpil. Li fè yo tou sa li te fè tanp zidòl lavil Betèl yo.
20 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
Li mete men sou tout prèt zidòl li te jwenn la yo, li touye yo sou lotèl yo. Lèfini, li boule zosman moun sou yo. Apre sa, li tounen tounen l' lavil Jerizalèm.
21 The king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this scroll of the covenant."
Wa Jozyas bay pèp la lòd pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan pou fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye yo a, jan sa ekri nan Liv Kontra a.
22 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
Yo pa t' janm fete fèt Delivrans lan konsa depi lè jij chèf yo t'ap gouvènen peyi a, ni pandan reny tout wa peyi Izrayèl yo ak tout wa peyi Jida yo.
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
Se sèlman sou reny wa Jozyas yo fete fèt Delivrans lan konsa lavil Jerizalèm pou Seyè a. Lè sa a, wa a t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi a.
24 Moreover Josiah removed the mediums, and spiritists, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the scroll that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
Jozyas fè disparèt tout divinò ak tout moun ki konn rele mò, tout estati zidòl wogatwa ak lòt vye zidòl degoutan, ak tout lòt vye bagay yo te konn wè nan tout peyi Jida ak nan lavil Jerizalèm. Li fè sa pou l' te ka kenbe kòmandman ak prensip ki ekri nan liv Lalwa Ilkija, prèt la, te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.
25 Like him was there no king before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
Ni anvan l', ni apre l', pa t' janm gen yon wa tankou l' ki te sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li, ak tout nanm li, ak tout kouraj li, jan lalwa Moyiz mande l' la.
26 Notwithstanding, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
Men malgre sa, Seyè a te move toujou sou pèp peyi Jida a depi lè li te fache sou Manase pou sa l' te fè a.
27 The LORD said, "I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'"
Se poutèt sa, Seyè a di: —Mwen pral wete moun peyi Jida yo devan je m' menm jan m' te fè l' pou moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Se mwen ki te chwazi lavil Jerizalèm. Enben, m' pral voye l' jete ansanm ak Tanp mwen te di se la m'ap rete a.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Tout rès istwa Jozyas la ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa Jida yo.
29 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Perath: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
Se sou reny Jozyas, farawon Neko, wa peyi Lejip, te moute nan direksyon larivyè Lefrat pou l' al bay wa peyi Lasiri a yon koutmen. Wa Jozyas soti al kontre l' pou anpeche li pase. Rive bò lavil Megido, wa Neko wè l', li touye l'.
30 His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
Ofisye lame wa Jozyas yo pran kadav la, yo mete l' sou yon cha soti Megido, yo mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm kote yo antere l' nan kavo li. Apre sa, pèp la pran Joakaz, pitit Jozyas, yo mete l' apa devan Bondye pou l' sèvi wa nan plas papa l'.
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Joakaz te gen venntwazan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa. Manman l' te rele Amoutal. Se te pitit fi Jeremi, moun lavil Libna.
32 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
Men li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou zansèt li yo.
33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Farawon Neko fèmen l' nan prizon lavil Ribla nan zòn Amat, pou li pa gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm anko. Lè sa a tou, farawon an fè peyi Jida soumèt devan l'. Li fòse peyi a ba li sètmil senksan (7.500) liv ajan ak swasannkenz liv lò.
34 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
Apre sa, li pran Elyakim, pitit Jozyas, li mete l' wa nan plas papa l'. Lè sa a, li chanje non Elyakim, li rele l' Jojakim. Lèfini, li pran Joakaz, li mennen l' nan peyi Lejip. Se la Joakaz mouri.
35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
Jojakim bay farawon Neko tout ajan ak tout lò li te mande a. Pou l' te ka jwenn yo, li te fè chak moun nan peyi a bay dapre sa yo genyen. Se konsa li te fòse pèp la bay ajan ak lò farawon Neko te mande a.
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
Jojakim te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan onzan. Manman l' te rele Zebida. Se te pitit fi Pedaja, moun lavil Wouma.
37 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
Men li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou zansèt li yo.
