< 2 Chronicles 30 >
1 Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel.
Ezekyas voye envite tout moun peyi Jida ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Li voye lèt bay branch fanmi Efrayim ak branch fanmi Manase yo. Li voye envite yo pou yo vin nan Tanp Seyè a, lavil Jerizalèm, pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
2 For the king had taken counsel, and his officials, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.
Wa a te diskite koze a ak chèf li yo ansanm ak tout pèp lavil Jerizalèm lan: yo deside pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan nan dezyèm mwa a.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
Yo pa t' ka fè l' lè pou yo te fè l' la pou de rezon. Pou konmanse, pa t' ankò gen kont pret ki te nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Lèfini, tout pep la pa t' reyini lavil Jerizalèm.
4 The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
Ni wa a, ni pèp la te dakò se te yon bon lide pou yo te fè l' lè sa a.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.
Se konsa yo pran desizyon voye envitasyon bay tout pèp Izrayèl la, depi lavil Becheba nan sid jouk lavil Dann nan nò, pou yo vini lavil Jerizalèm fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Paske anvan sa, tout moun yo pa t' konn vini nan fèt la jan Lalwa mande l' la.
6 So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his officers throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, "children of Israel, turn again to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you who have escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Se konsa yo voye mesaje nan tout peyi Jida a ak nan tout peyi Izrayèl la avèk lèt wa a te siyen ansanm ak chèf li yo. Dapre lòd wa a te bay, men mesaj yo t'ap mache fè konnen: -Nou menm rès pèp Izrayèl la, nou menm ki te chape anba men wa peyi Lasiri yo lè yo te anvayi peyi a, tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Izrayèl la, konsa l'a tounen vin jwenn nou tou.
7 Do not be like your fathers, and like your brothers, who trespassed against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
Piga nou fè tankou zansèt nou yo ak lòt frè parèy nou yo ki pa t' kenbe pawòl yo ak Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Nou wè jan li te kite yo fini.
8 Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
Pa fè tèt di tankou zansèt nou yo, men soumèt nou devan Seyè a. Vin lavil Jerizalèm nan Tanp Seyè a te mete apa pou li pou toutan an. Sevi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou Seyè a pa fache sou nou ankò.
9 For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children shall find compassion before those who led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him."
Si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, lènmi ki te fè moun menm fanmi ak nou yo ak pitit nou yo prizonye a va gen pitye pou yo, l'a kite yo tounen nan peyi yo. Paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se yon Bondye ki gen bon kè, yon Bondye ki gen pitye pou moun. Si nou tounen vin jwenn li, l'a louvri bra l' ban nou.
10 So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun: but they ridiculed them, and mocked them.
Mesaje yo ale toupatou nan peyi moun Efrayim ak moun Manase yo, yo pase nan tout lavil yo, yo rive jouk nan peyi moun Zabilon yo. Men, moun t'ap ri yo, yo t'ap pase yo nan betiz.
11 Nevertheless some from Asher and from Manasseh and from Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
Tansèlman, te gen kèk moun nan branch fanmi Asè, nan branch fanmi Manase ak nan branch fanmi Zabilon ki rekonèt fòt yo epi ki moute lavil Jerizalèm.
12 Also in Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the leaders by the word of the LORD.
Bondye te manyen kè moun peyi Jida yo tou, yo mete tèt ansanm pou yo fè sa wa a ak lòt chèf yo te mande yo fè, dapre lòd Seyè a te bay.
13 Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
Se konsa, yon pakèt moun sanble lavil Jerizalèm nan dezyèm mwa a, pou yo fete fèt Pen san ledven yo.
14 They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the Kidron Valley.
Yo pran tout lòt lotèl kote yo te konn boule bèt yo ofri yo ak lotèl kote yo boule lansan ki te lavil Jerizalèm yo, yo al voye yo jete nan Fon Sedwon an.
15 Then they killed the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
Nan katòzyèm jou dezyèm mwa a, yo touye ti mouton Delivrans yo. Prèt yo ak moun Levi ki pa t' nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a vin wont tèt yo, yo fè sa pou yo fè pou yo ka nan kondisyon pou sèvis Seyè a, lèfini yo antre nan Tanp lan al boule bèt yo ofri nèt pou Seyè a.
16 They stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of the hand of the Levites.
Yo al pran plas yo nan Tanp lan dapre regleman ki nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a. Moun Levi yo bay prèt yo san bèt yo pou yo vide sou lotèl la.
17 For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites were in charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.
Te gen anpil moun ki pa t' mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a. Kifè yo pa t' kapab touye ti mouton Delivrans pa yo. Konsa, se moun Levi yo ki te fè l' pou yo, lèfini ki te mete yo apa nèt pou Seyè a.
18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, "May the good LORD pardon everyone
Paske pifò moun ki te soti nan branch fanmi Efrayim, nan branch fanmi Manase, nan branch fanmi Isaka ak nan branch fanmi Zabilon yo pa t' fè sèvis pou mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Yo te manje manje Delivrans lan yon jan ki pa konfòm ak sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa a. Men, Ezekyas lapriyè Bondye pou yo, li di: -O Seyè, Bondye zansèt nou yo, pou jan ou gen bon kè, tanpri padonnen
19 who sets his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, even if they aren't clean according to the purification of the sanctuary."
tout moun sa yo ki soti pou sèvi ou ak tout kè yo, menm si yo pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi ou, pou yo manyen sa yo mete apa pou ou yo.
20 The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Seyè a tande lapriyè Ezekyas te fè a, li padonnen pèp la.
21 The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD.
Konsa pandan sèt jou, moun pèp Izrayèl ki te sanble lavil Jerizalèm yo fete fèt Pen san ledven yo avèk anpil kè kontan. Chak jou, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo menm t'ap chante fè lwanj Seyè a, yo t'ap jwe enstriman mizik yo byen fò pou Seyè a.
22 Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of the LORD. So they completed the seven days of the feast, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Ezekyas t'ap ankouraje tout moun Levi yo pou jan yo t'ap mennen sèvis Seyè a byen. Pandan sèt jou, tout pèp la t'ap manje manje fèt Delivrans lan, yo fè ofrann pou mande padon, yo t'ap di Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, mèsi.
23 The whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept another seven days with gladness.
Apre sa, tout pèp la tonbe dakò pou yo pase sèt lòt jou ankò ap fè fèt. Se konsa, yo fete pou sèt lòt jou ankò ak kè kontan.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. And a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, te bay mil (1.000) towo bèf ak sètmil (7.000) mouton pou yo bay pèp la manje. Lòt otorite yo menm bò pa yo te bay mil towo bèf ak dimil mouton. Anpil prèt te mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sèvis Seyè a.
25 All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly who came out of Israel, and the foreigners who came out of the land of Israel, and who lived in Judah, rejoiced.
Tout moun te kontan, depi moun peyi Jida yo, prèt yo, moun Levi yo jouk moun ki te soti nan peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon ki te tabli ni nan peyi Jida a ni nan peyi Izrayèl la.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
Se te gwo fèt nan lavil Jerizalèm, paske depi sou rèy Salomon, pitit David, wa pèp Izrayèl la, pa t' janm gen bagay konsa lavil Jerizalèm.
27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
Apre sa, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo kanpe, yo mande benediksyon Bondye pou tout pèp la. Lapriyè yo moute rive jouk nan syèl la, kay Bondye a menm, kote Bondye ki apa nèt la rete a. Bondye tande lapriyè yo.
