2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
Ezekyas te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Abija. Se te pitit fi Zakari.
2 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
Ezekyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a tankou David, zansèt li a, te fè l'.
3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
Ezekyas te gen yon mwa depi li te wa, lè li louvri tout pòt nan Tanp Seyè a. Li fè repare yo.
4 He brought in the cohanim and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,
Lèfini, li fè chache tout prèt yo ak moun Levi yo, li reyini yo sou lakou ki bay sou bò solèy leve nan Tanp lan.
5 and said to them, "Listen to me, you Levites. Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place.
Li di yo: -Nou menm fanmi Levi yo, koute sa m'ap di nou: mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Mete Tanp Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, nan kondisyon pou yo ka fè sèvis ladan l' pou li. Wete tout vye bagay yo te mete ladan l' kifè li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a.
6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
Zansèt nou yo pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak Bondye. Yo te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, yo vire do ba li. Yo pa t' okipe Tanp kote Seyè a rete a ankò. Yo pa gade l' menm!
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
Yo kondannen tout pòt nan Tanp lan, yo kite lanp yo mouri, yo sispann boule lansan, yo sispann boule bèt nan Tanp lan pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
8 Therefore the wrath of the LORD was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
Se poutèt sa Seyè a te fache anpil sou peyi Jida ak sou lavil Jerizalèm. Tout moun te sezi, tout moun te pè lè yo wè sa ki rive yo, tout moun t'ap pase yo nan betiz, tankou nou wè l' nou menm ak pwòp je nou tou.
9 For, look, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
Yo touye papa nou yo nan lagè. Yo fè madanm ak pitit nou yo prizonye.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
Se konsa mwen pran desizyon jòdi a pou m' pase yon kontra ak Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou li ka pa janm move sou nou ankò.
11 My sons, do not be negligent now; for the LORD has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense."
Koulye a, pitit mwen yo, souke kò nou. Se nou menm Seyè a te chwazi pou toujou kanpe devan l', pou sèvi l', pou fè travay li, pou boule lansan pou li.
12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the descendants of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
Men moun Levi ki vin pote tèt yo an premye: Nan branch fanmi Keyat la, se te Makat, pitit Amasayi ak Joèl, pitit Azarya. Nan branch fanmi Merari a, se te Kich, pitit Abdi ak Azarya, pitit Jealelèl. Nan branch fanmi Gèchon an, se te Joak, pitit Zimna ak Edèn, pitit Joak.
13 and of the descendants of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the descendants of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
Nan branch fanmi Elizafan an, se te Chimri ak Jeiyèl. Nan branch fanmi Asaf la, se te Zekaraja ak Matanya.
14 and of the descendants of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the descendants of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
Nan branch fanmi Eyman an, se te Jeiyèl ak Chimeyi. Nan branch fanmi Jedoutoun lan, se te Chemaja ak Ouziyèl.
15 They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
Mesye sa yo reyini tout fanmi yo, yo fè sèvis pou yo ka nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye. Lèfini, yo antre nan Tanp lan pou mete l' nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye, jan wa a te ba yo lòd la, dapre sa ki nan lalwa Seyè a.
16 The cohanim went in to the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the LORD's temple into the court of the house of the LORD. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the Kidron Valley.
Prèt yo antre anndan Tanp lan pou mete l' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Yo pran tout vye bagay yo jwenn ladan l', yo pote yo deyò nan lakou Tanp lan. Moun Levi yo menm ranmase yo nan lakou a, yo al jete yo nan ravin Sedwon an.
17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD; and they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Yo konmanse travay la premye jou premye mwa a. Sou wit jou, yo te rive anndan kote ki apa pou Bondye nan Tanp lan. Yo travay pandan wit jou ankò. Sou sèzyèm jou mwa a yo te fini nèt ak travay pou mete Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou l' fè sèvis Bondye ankò.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, "We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with all its vessels.
Lè yo fini, moun Levi yo ale lakay wa Ezekyas, yo di l': -Monwa, nou fin travay la, nou mete tout kay Seyè a, lotèl pou boule ofrann yo ak tout batri ki mache avè l' yo, tab pou pen yo mete apa pou Seyè a ak tout batri pa l' yo tou, nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye ankò.
19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and look, they are before the altar of the LORD."
Nou pran tout veso wa Akaz te detounen yo pandan tout tan li te vire do bay Bondye a, nou repare yo, nou mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye ankò. Koulye a, yo tout devan lotèl Seyè a.
20 Then Hezekiah the king arose early and gathered the officials of the city and went up to the house of the LORD.
Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, wa Ezekyas leve, li reyini tout chèf lavil la, li moute ak yo nan Tanp Seyè a.
21 They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the cohanim the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
Yo mennen sèt ti towo, sèt belye mouton, sèt ti mouton, sèt bouk kabrit, yo ofri yo pou peye pou sa fanmi wa a ak tout moun pèp Jida yo te fè ki mal ak pou sa moun te fè ki mal nan Tanp lan. Wa a mande prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo, pou yo touye bèt yo sou lotèl Seyè a.
22 So they killed the bulls, and the cohanim received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
Prèt yo touye towo yo anvan, yo ranmase tout san an nan yon veso, yo al vide l' sou lotèl la. Apre sa, yo touye belye mouton yo, yo al vide san yo sou lotèl la. Apre sa ankò, yo touye ti mouton yo, yo al vide san yo sou lotèl la tou.
23 They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them:
Lè yo fini, yo mennen bouk kabrit yo te ofri pou peche yo devan wa a ansanm ak lòt moun ki te la yo pou yo mete men yo sou tèt bèt yo.
24 and the cohanim killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
Lè yo fin fè sa, prèt yo touye bouk kabrit yo, yo vide san yo sou lotèl la tankou yon ofrann pou peche yo. Yo ofri yo bay Bondye pou mande padon pou peche tout pèp Izrayèl la, paske wa a te bay lòd pou yo te boule ofrann lan pou tout pèp Izrayèl la.
25 He set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of the LORD by his prophets.
Wa Ezekyas mete moun Levi nan Tanp Seyè a avèk senbal, bandjo ak gita, dapre regleman David, Gad, pwofèt wa a ansanm ak pwofèt Natan te bay, paske tout lòd Seyè a vle bay, se nan bouch pwofèt li yo li toujou mete yo.
26 The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the cohanim with the trumpets.
Moun Levi yo al nan plas yo ak enstriman mizik David yo. Prèt yo te la tou ak twonpèt yo.
27 Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.
Ezekyas bay lòd pou yo boule ofrann yo nèt sou lotèl la. Lè yo konmanse seremoni an, pèp la pran chante pou Seyè a, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt anmenmtan yo t'ap jwe lòt enstriman mizik David, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
28 All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
Tout moun ki te la yo mete ajenou, mizisyen yo t'ap chante, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt pandan tout seremoni boule a.
29 When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.
Lè yo fin boule ofrann yo sou lotèl la, wa a ak tout moun ki te la yo mete ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Bondye.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.
Apre sa, wa Ezekyas ak lòt chèf yo mande moun Levi yo pou yo chante pou Seyè a chante David ak pwofèt Asaf te ekri pou fè lwanj Seyè a. Se konsa tout moun t'ap chante ak kè kontan, antan yo te ajenou ak tèt yo bese jouk atè.
31 Then Hezekiah answered, "Now you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD." The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
Lè sa a, Ezekyas di pèp la: -Koulye a nou menm ki mete tèt nou apa pou fè sèvis Seyè a, pwoche non! Pote ofrann nou ansanm ak bèt pou yo touye pou di Bondye mèsi. Se konsa tout pèp la pote bèt pou yo touye ak lòt ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Gen ladan yo ki te ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Bondye paske yo te vle fè l'.
32 The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Yo mennen swasanndis towo, san belye mouton ak desan (200) ti mouton pou yo te boule nèt pou Seyè a.
33 The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep.
Konsa tou, yo ofri sisan (600) towo, twamil (3.000) mouton pou yo touye pou Bondye.
34 But the cohanim were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the cohanim had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the cohanim.
Men prèt yo pa t' anpil, yo pa t' ka kòche tout bèt yo te ofri pou boule nèt yo. Se moun Levi yo, moun menm fanmi ak yo, ki te vin ede yo fin fè travay la, jouk lòt prèt yo te fin mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a, paske moun Levi yo te pi prese mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a pase prèt yo.
35 Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
Lèfini, san konte tout bèt yo te touye pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, prèt yo te gen pou ofri bay Bondye grès lòt bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon ak ofrann diven ki mache ak bèt yo boule nèt pou Seyè a. Se konsa yo konmanse ankò ap fè sèvis pou Bondye nan Tanp lan.
36 Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
Wa Ezekyas ak tout pèp la te kontan deske Bondye te penmèt yo fè tou sa san pèdi twòp tan.
