< 2 Chronicles 30 >
1 And Hezekiah sendeth unto all Israel and Judah, and also letters he hath written unto Ephraim and Manasseh, to come in to the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, to make a passover to Jehovah, 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 And the king taketh counsel, and his heads, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to make 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 have not been able to make it at that time, for the priests have not sanctified themselves sufficiently, and the people have not been gathered 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 And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes 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 and they establish the thing, to cause to pass over an intimation into all Israel, from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, to come in to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel, in Jerusalem, for not for a long time had they done 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 And the runners go with letters from the hand of the king and his heads, into all Israel and Judah, even according to the command of the king, saying, 'O sons of Israel, turn back unto Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and He doth turn back unto the escaped part that is left of you from the hand of the kings of Asshur;
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 and do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, God of their fathers, and He giveth them to desolation, as ye do 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, harden not your neck like your fathers, give a hand to Jehovah, and come in to His sanctuary, that He hath sanctified to the age, and serve Jehovah your God, and the fierceness of His anger doth turn back 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 in your turning back unto Jehovah, your brethren and your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to this land, for gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah your God, and He doth not turn aside the face from you, if ye turn back unto 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 And the runners are passing over from city to city, in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: and they are laughing at them, and mocking at 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 only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come in 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 hath the hand of God been to give to them one heart to do the command of the king and of the heads, in the matter of Jehovah;
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 and much people are gathered to Jerusalem, to make the feast of unleavened things in the second month — a mighty assembly for multitude.
Se konsa, yon pakèt moun sanble lavil Jerizalèm nan dezyèm mwa a, pou yo fete fèt Pen san ledven yo.
14 And they arise and turn aside the altars that [are] in Jerusalem, and all the perfume altars they have turned aside, and cast [them] to the brook Kidron;
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 and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the second month, and the priests and the Levites have been ashamed, and sanctify themselves, and bring in burnt-offerings to the house of Jehovah.
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 And they stand on their station according to their ordinance; according to the law of Moses the man of God the priests are sprinkling the blood out 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 many [are] in the assembly who have not sanctified themselves, and the Levites [are] over the slaughtering of the passover-offerings for every one not clean, to sanctify [him] to Jehovah:
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, many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, have not been cleansed, but have eaten the passover otherwise than it is written; but Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, 'Jehovah, who [is] good, doth receive atonement for every one
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 hath prepared his heart to seek God — Jehovah, God of his fathers — yet not according to the cleansing 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 and Jehovah hearkeneth unto Hezekiah, and healeth the people.
Seyè a tande lapriyè Ezekyas te fè a, li padonnen pèp la.
21 And the sons of Israel, those found in Jerusalem, make the feast of unleavened things seven days with great joy; and giving praise to Jehovah day by day are the Levites and the priests, with instruments of praise before Jehovah.
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 And Hezekiah speaketh unto the heart of all the Levites, those giving good understanding concerning Jehovah, and they eat the appointed thing seven days; sacrificing sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, 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 And all the assembly take counsel to keep other seven days, and they keep seven days [with] joy;
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 hath presented to the assembly a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep; and the heads have presented to the assembly bullocks a thousand, and sheep ten thousand; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance.
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 And all the assembly of Judah rejoice, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the assembly, those coming in from Israel, and the sojourners, those coming in from the land of Israel, and those dwelling in Judah,
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 and there is great joy in Jerusalem; for from the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there is not like this 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 and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people, and their voice is heard, and their prayer cometh in to His holy habitation, to the heavens.
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.
