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 LORD’s house at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel.
Alò, Ézéchias te voye kote tout Israël avèk Juda, e anplis, li te ekri lèt a Éphraïm avèk Manassé pou yo ta vini lakay SENYÈ a Jérusalem pou selebre Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
2 For the king had taken counsel with his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem to keep the Passover in the second month.
Paske wa a avèk chèf pa li yo ak tout asanble Jérusalem nan te pran desizyon pou selebre Pak la nan dezyèm mwa a.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, and the people had not gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
Yo fè sa akoz yo pa t ka selebre li nan lè sa a, akoz prèt yo potko konsakre yo menm an kantite ase, ni pèp la potko rasanble Jérusalem.
4 The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
Konsa, bagay la te kòrèk nan zye a wa a avèk tout asanble 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 the way it is written.
Pou sa, yo te etabli yon dekrè pou sikile kòm yon pwoklamasyon pami tout Israël soti nan Beer-Schéba jis rive menm nan Dan, pou yo ta kapab vin selebre Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, Jérusalem. Paske yo pa t selebre li an gran nonb depi lè li te premye etabli a.
6 So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, according to the commandment of the king, saying, “You children of Israel, turn again to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you that have escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Mesaje yo te ale patou nan tout Israël avèk Juda avèk lèt soti nan men a wa a avèk chèf li yo menm, selon lòd a wa a. Yo te di: “O fis Israël yo, retounen kote SENYÈ a, Bondye Abraham nan, Isaac, avèk Israël la, pou Li kapab retounen kote sila nan nou ki fin chape e retire soti nan men a wa Asiryen yo.
7 Don’t 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.
Pa fè tankou papa zansèt nou yo avèk frè nou yo ki pa t fidèl a SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo, jiskaske li te fè yo parèt tankou yon laperèz etonan, jan nou wè a.
8 Now don’t 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.
Alò, pa fè tèt di tankou papa zansèt nou yo, men bay plas a SENYÈ a. Antre nan sanktyè ke Li te konsakre jis pou tout tan an, e sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou kòlè Li k ap brile a kapab vire kite nou.
9 For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children will find compassion with those who led them captive, and will come again into this land, because the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you if you return to him.”
Paske si nou retounen kote SENYÈ a, frè nou yo avèk fis nou yo va jwenn mizerikòd devan sila ki te mennen yo an kaptivite yo, e yo va retounen nan peyi sa a. Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, plen gras avèk konpasyon e Li p ap vire fas Li kite nou si nou retounen kote Li.”
10 So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but people ridiculed them and mocked them.
Pou sa, mesaje yo te pase soti nan yon vil a yon lòt vil, toupatou nan peyi Éphraïm avèk Manassé, e soti rive Zabulon. Men yo te fè grimas sou yo, yo te giyonnen yo, e moke yo.
11 Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
Sepandan, kèk nan mesye Aser yo, Manassé, avèk Zabulon yo te imilye yo, e yo te vini Jérusalem.
12 Also the hand of God came on Judah to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the LORD’s word.
Anplis, men Bondye te sou Juda pou bay yo yon sèl kè pou fè sa ke wa a avèk chèf yo te kòmande yo a, pa pawòl SENYÈ a.
13 Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
Alò, anpil moun te rasanble Jérusalem pou selebre Fèt Pen San Ledven an nan dezyèm mwa a, yon asanble ki te trè trè gran.
14 They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the altars for incense and threw them into the brook Kidron.
Yo te leve e te retire fo lotèl ki te Jérusalem yo. Anplis, yo te retire tout fo lotèl lansan yo e te jete yo nan flèv Cédron an.
15 Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the LORD’s house.
Epi yo te touye jèn mouton Pak yo nan katòzyèm jou nan dezyèm mwa a. Konsa, prèt yo avèk Levit yo te vin wont a yo menm, e te konsakre yo menm, e te pote ofrann brile yo lakay SENYÈ 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 te kanpe nan estasyon pa yo selon koutim pa yo, selon lalwa Moïse la, nonm Bondye a. Prèt yo te aspèje san ke yo te resevwa nan men Levit yo.
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.
Paske te gen anpil prèt nan asanble a ki pa t konsakre yo menm. Pou sa, Levit yo te responsab pou touye jèn mouton Pak yo ki te pou tout sila ki pa t pwòp yo, pou yo ta kapab vin konsakre yo a SENYÈ a.
18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover other than the way it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good LORD pardon everyone
Paske yon foul nan pèp la, menm anpil nan Éphraïm avèk Manassé, Issacar ak Zabulon pa t pirifye yo menm, sepandan yo te manje Pak la yon lòt jan ke sa ki te premye etabli a. Paske Ézéchias te priye pou yo e te di: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab padone
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 sila ki prepare kè yo pou chache Bondye, SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt li yo, malgre se pa selon règleman pou pirifikasyon nan sanktyè a.”
20 The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a te tande Ézéchias e te geri pèp la.
21 The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness. The Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD.
Fis a Israël ki te la Jérusalem yo te selebre Fèt Pen San Ledven an pandan sèt jou avèk gran jwa, e Levit yo avèk prèt yo te louwe SENYÈ a, jou apre jou, avèk enstriman ki te fè gwo son a SENYÈ a.
22 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of the LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Epi Ézéchias te pale ankourajman a tout Levit ki te montre gwo kapasite pou afè SENYÈ yo. Konsa, yo te manje pandan sèt jou ki te chwazi yo pandan yo t ap fè sakrifis ofrann lapè yo e t ap bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo a.
23 The whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept another seven days with gladness.
Anfen, tout asanble a te deside selebre yon lòt sèt jou ankò, e yo te selebre sèt jou yo avèk kè kontan.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Paske Ézéchias, wa Juda a, te bay asanble a mil towo ak sèt-mil mouton; epi prens yo te bay yon mil towo ak di-mil mouton. Konsa, yon gran kantite nan prèt yo te konsakre yo menm.
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 asanble Juda a te rejwi avèk prèt yo ak Levit yo ak tout asanble ki te sòti an Israël la, ni vwayajè ki te sòti nan peyi Israël yo ansanm ak sila ki te rete Juda yo.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was nothing like this in Jerusalem.
Konsa, te gen gwo lajwa Jérusalem, akoz pa t janm genyen yon bagay parèy a sa Jérusalem depi nan jou a Salomon yo, fis David la, wa Israël la.
27 Then the Levitical priests arose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
Epi prèt Levit yo te leve pou te beni pèp la. Vwa yo te tande, e lapriyè yo te rive nan lye sen Li an, menm nan syèl la.
