2 Chronicles 23
1 In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zikri, into 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 They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers' households of Israel, and they came 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 All the assembly made a covenant in the house of God with the king. And he showed them the king's son. And he said to them, "Look, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the descendants 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 shall do. A third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the cohanim and of the Levites, shall be 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 A third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of the LORD's house.
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 But let no one come into the house of the LORD, except the cohanim, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow the LORD's instructions.
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 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in, and when he goes 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 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the cohen commanded: and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath; with those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the cohen did not dismiss the shift.
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 Jehoiada the cohen delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in God's house.
Jeojada bay kaptenn lame yo frenn ak divès plak pwotèj wa David yo ki te sere nan Tanp Bondye a.
10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
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 Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, "Long live the king."
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 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
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 she looked, and, look, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, "Treason. Treason."
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 Jehoiada the cohen brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword." For the cohen said, "Do not kill her in the LORD's house."
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 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the Horse Gate to the king's house; and they killed her there.
Yo pran Atali, yo mennen l' nan palè wa a, bò Pòtay Chwal yo. Se la yo touye l'.
16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be the LORD's people.
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 All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal 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 Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of the LORD under the hand of the cohanim and the Levites, and he appointed the divisions of the cohanim and the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order 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 He set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.
Jeojada mete gad an faksyon devan pòtay Tanp lan pou enpoze moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a antre.
20 He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the Upper Gate to the king's house, and set the king 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 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with 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.
