2 Chronicles 34
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
Josias te gen laj a uitan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye tran-te-yen nan Jérusalem.
2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left.
Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a. Li te mache nan chemen a David, papa zansèt pa li a e li pa t vire akote ni adwat ni agoch.
3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images.
Paske nan uityèm ane règn pa li a, pandan li te toujou nan jenès li, li te kòmanse chache Bondye a papa zansèt li a, David. Epi nan douzyèm ane a, li te kòmanse pirifye Juda avèk Jérusalem sou afè a wo plas yo, Asherim nan, imaj taye yo ak imaj fonn yo.
4 They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
Yo te chire desann lotèl Baal yo nan prezans li, lotèl lansan ki te byen wo sou yo, li te koupe yo desann. Anplis, Asherim yo, imaj taye yo ak imaj fonn yo, li te kase yo an mòso, kraze yo fè poud e li te gaye l sou tonm a sila ki te fè sakrifis a yo menm yo.
5 He burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
Li te brile zo a prèt Baal yo sou lotèl la, e li te pirifye Juda avèk Jérusalem.
6 He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
Nan vil a Manassé yo, Éphraïm, Siméon, jis rive Nephthali, nan mazi kraze yo,
7 He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, then returned to Jerusalem.
li te osi chire fè desann lotèl yo. Li te kraze Asherim avèk imaj taye yo jiskaske yo te fè poud, e te koupe desann lotèl lansan yo toupatou nan peyi Israël la. Anfen, li te retounen Jérusalem.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder to repair the house of Yahweh his God.
Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane règn li a, lè li te fin pirifye peyi a avèk kay la, li te voye Schaphan, fis a Atsalia a avèk Maaséja, yon ofisye lavil la ak Joach, fis a Joachaz la, grefye a, pou repare lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
9 They came to Hilkiah the high priest and delivered the money that was brought into God’s house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered from the hands of Manasseh, Ephraim, of all the remnant of Israel, of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Yo te vin kote Hilkaja, wo prèt la, e yo te livre li lajan ki te pote lakay Bondye a, ke Levit yo, gadyen pòtay yo, te kolekte soti Manassé, Éphraïm, de tout retay Israël yo, e soti nan tout Juda avèk Benjamin ak pèp Jérusalem nan.
10 They delivered it into the hands of the workmen who had the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and the workmen who labored in Yahweh’s house gave it to mend and repair the house.
Yo te ba li nan men a ouvriye ki te sipèvize lakay SENYÈ a, epi ouvriye ki t ap travay lakay SENYÈ a te sèvi ak li pou restore e repare kay la.
11 They gave it to the carpenters and to the builders to buy cut stone and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
Yo menm, te remèt li a chapant avèk mason yo pou achte wòch taye avèk gwo bwa pou travès ak bwa mare pou kay ke wa nan Juda yo te kite detwi yo.
12 The men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to give direction; and others of the Levites, who were all skillful with musical instruments.
Mesye yo te fè travay la avèk bòn fwa ak fòmann ki sou yo pou sipèvize yo. Yo te sipèrvize pa Jachath avèk Abidias, Levit yo nan fis a Merari yo, Zacharie avèk Meschallam nan fis a Keatit yo ak Levit yo, tout moun ki te gen gwo kapasite, ak lòt ki te fò nan jwe enstriman mizik yo.
13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and directed all who did the work in every kind of service. Of the Levites, there were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
Anplis, yo te sou sila ki t ap pote chaj yo, e yo te sipèvize tout ouvriye soti de yon tach a yon lòt. Pami Levit yo te gen skrib, ofisye ak sipèvizè.
14 When they brought out the money that was brought into Yahweh’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of Yahweh’s law given by Moses.
Lè yo t ap pote fè sòti lajan ki te antre lakay SENYÈ a, Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve liv lalwa SENYÈ a ki te bay pa Moïse la.
15 Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in Yahweh’s house.” So Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
Hilkija te reponn e te di a Schaphan, sekretè a: “Mwen te twouve liv lalwa lakay SENYÈ a.” Epi Hilkija te bay liv la a Schaphan.
16 Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, “All that was committed to your servants, they are doing.
Konsa, Schaphan te pote liv la kote wa a, e te bay yon rapò anplis a wa a. Li te di: “Tout sa ou te konfye a sèvitè ou yo, y ap fè l.
17 They have emptied out the money that was found in Yahweh’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into the hand of the workmen.”
Yo deja retire lajan yo te twouve lakay SENYÈ a, e te livre li nan men a sipèvizè yo ak ouvriye yo.”
18 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
Anplis, Schaphan, sekretè a te di wa a, “Hilkija, prèt la, te ban mwen yon liv.” Epi Schaphan te li ladann nan, nan prezans a wa a.
19 When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore his clothes.
Lè wa a te tande pawòl lalwa yo, li te chire rad li.
20 The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,
Epi wa a te kòmande Hilkija, Achikam, fis a Schaphan nan, Abdon, fis Michée a, Schaphan, sekretè a ak Asaja, sèvitè a wa a e te di:
21 “Go inquire of Yahweh for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is Yahweh’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept Yahweh’s word, to do according to all that is written in this book.”
“Ale fè ankèt a SENYÈ a pou mwen e pou sila ki rete Israël avèk Juda yo, konsènan pawòl a liv ki te twouve a; paske byen gwo, se kòlè SENYÈ a ki vide sou nou akoz papa zansèt nou yo pa t obsève pawòl a SENYÈ a, pou fè selon tout sa ki ekri nan liv sila a.”
22 So Hilkiah and those whom the king had commanded went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter), and they spoke to her to that effect.
Konsa, Hilkija avèk sila ke wa a te pale yo te ale kote Hulda, pwofetès la, madanm a Schallum nan, fis a Thokehath la, fis a Hasra a, gadyen vètman yo, (alò, li te rete Jérusalem nan dezyèm katye); epi yo te pale avèk li konsa.
23 She said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel says: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me,
Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Di nonm ki te voye nou kote mwen an,
24 “Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Veye byen, Mwen ap voye malè sou plas sa a ak sou pèp li a, menm tout malediksyon ki ekri nan liv ke yo te li nan prezans a wa Juda a.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath is poured out on this place, and it will not be quenched.’”’
Akoz yo te abandone Mwen, e te brile lansan a lòt dye yo, pou yo ta kapab pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk tout zèv a men yo; pou sa, kòlè Mwen va vin vide sou plas sa a e li p ap etenn.’”’
26 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, you shall tell him this, ‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says: “About the words which you have heard,
“Men pou wa Juda ki te voye nou fè ankèt devan SENYÈ a, konsa nou va pale a li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la selon pawòl ke ou te tande yo,
27 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,” says Yahweh.
akoz kè ou te mou e ou te imilye ou menm devan Bondye lè ou te tande pawòl Li yo kont plas sa a, e kont pèp li a, akoz ou te imilye ou menm devan Mwen, ou te chire vètman ou e ou te kriye devan M, Mwen anverite te tande ou’, deklare SENYÈ a.
28 “Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes won’t see all the evil that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.”’” They brought back this message to the king.
Tande byen, Mwen va ranmase ou a papa zansèt ou yo, e ou va ranmase a tonm ou an anpè, pou zye ou pa wè tout malè ke Mwen va pote sou plas sa a avèk pèp li a.” Yo te pote bay wa a mesaj sila a.
29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Epi wa a te voye rasanble tout ansyen a Juda avèk Jérusalem yo.
30 The king went up to Yahweh’s house with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—the priests, the Levites, and all the people, both great and small—and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in Yahweh’s house.
Wa a te monte vè lakay SENYÈ a, e tout mesye Juda yo, pèp Jérusalem nan, prèt yo, Levit yo, e tout moun soti nan pi gran jis rive nan pi piti yo—epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl liv akò ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
31 The king stood in his place and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
Wa a te kanpe nan plas li a, e te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a pou mache nan chemen SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk temwayaj Li yo, avèk règleman Li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou reyisi fè tout pawòl a akò ki ekri nan liv sila yo.
32 He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
Anplis, li te fè tout moun ki te prezan Jérusalem avèk Benjamin yo kanpe avèk li. Konsa, pèp Jérusalem la te fè selon akò Bondye a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo a.
33 Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve Yahweh their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
Josias te retire tout abominasyon soti nan tout peyi ki te apatyen a fis Israël yo e te fè tout moun ki te prezan an Israël yo sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a. Pandan tout lavi li, yo pa t detounen nan swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.
