2 Istwa 23

1 Sou setyèm lanne a, Jeojada, prèt la, pran kouraj li ak de men, li deside lè a rive pou l' fè sa pou l' fè a. Li fè rele senk kaptenn nan lame a: Azarya, pitit Jewokam, Ismayèl, pitit Jokanan, Azaryawou, pitit gason Obèd, Maseja, pitit gason Adaja ak Elichafat, pitit Zikri. Li pran yon dizon ak yo.

And in the year seventh he strengthened himself Jehoiada and he took [the] commanders of the hundreds to Azariah [the] son of Jeroham and to Ishmael [the] son of Jehohanan and to Azariah [the] son of Obed and with Maaseiah [the] son of Adaiah and with Elishaphat [the] son of Zikri with himself in covenant.

2 Mesye sa yo vwayaje ale nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo, yo al chache moun Levi yo ak tout chèf fanmi yo, fè yo moute lavil Jerizalèm.

And they went around in Judah and they gathered the Levites from all [the] cities of Judah and [the] heads of the fathers of Israel and they came to Jerusalem.

3 Yo tout reyini nan Tanp lan. Yo pase yon kontra ak wa Joas, lèfini Jeojada di yo: -Men pitit gason defen wa nou an. Se li menm ki pral gouvènen koulye a jan Seyè a te pwomèt fanmi David la.

And it made all the assembly a covenant in [the] house of God with the king and he said to them here! [the] son of the king he will reign just as he spoke Yahweh on [the] sons of David.

4 Men sa nou pral fè: Lè prèt yo ak moun Levi yo va vin pran pòs jou repo a, y'a separe fè twa gwoup menm fòs. Yon gwoup va fè pòs nan pòtay Tanp lan.

This [is] the thing which you will do the third [part] of you [who] come of the sabbath to the priests and to the Levites [will become] [the] gatekeepers of the thresholds.

5 Yon lòt gwoup va pran pòs bò palè wa a. Rès yo va moute lagad bò pòtay fondasyon an. Tout pèp la va sanble nan gwo lakou Tanp Seyè a.

And the third [part] [will be] at [the] house of the king and the third [part] [will be] at [the] gate of the foundation and all the people [will be] in [the] courts of [the] house of Yahweh.

6 Pa kite pesonn antre anndan Tanp lan, esepte prèt ak moun Levi ki nan sèvis yo. Yo menm yo gen dwa antre, paske yo mete yo apa pou Bondye. Tout rès pèp la va rete deyò pou moute lagad pou Seyè a.

And may not anyone go [the] house of Yahweh that except the priests and those [who] are serving of the Levites they they will go for [are] holiness they and all the people they will keep [the] duty of Yahweh.

7 Moun Levi yo va fè yon wonn ak wa a nan mitan yo. Y'a kenbe zam yo nan men yo. Kote wa a va fè, y'a mache avè l' nan pozisyon sa a. Si yon moun ta vle seye antre nan Tanp lan, touye l'.

And they will surround the Levites the king all around each man and weapons his in hand his and the [one who] comes into the house he will be put to death and be with the king when comes he and when goes out he.

8 Moun Levi yo ak tout moun peyi Jida yo fè tou sa Jeojada te ba yo lòd fè a. Jeojada, prèt la, pa t' kite gwoup ki te fin fè sèvis yo jou repo a ale. Konsa, kaptenn lame yo te gen avèk yo ni sa ki t'ap vin pran sèvis, ni sa ki te fin fè sèvis yo.

And they did the Levites and all Judah according to all that he had commanded Jehoiada the priest and they took each men his [who] were coming of the sabbath with [who] were going out of the sabbath for not he dismissed Jehoiada the priest the divisions.

9 Jeojada bay kaptenn lame yo frenn ak divès plak pwotèj wa David yo ki te sere nan Tanp Bondye a.

And he gave Jehoiada the priest to [the] commanders of the hundreds the spears and the shields and the shields which [had belonged] to the king David which [were] [the] house of God.

10 Li mete moun ak nepe nan men yo sou tout devan Tanp lan ak devan lotèl la, depi sou bò gòch rive sou bò dwat Tanp lan pou pwoteje wa a.

And he stationed all the people and each - weapon his [was] in hand his from [the] side of the house south to [the] side of the house north to the altar and to the house at the king all around.

11 Lèfini, li fè Joas, pitit wa a, soti. Li mete kouwòn lan sou tèt li, li pase ti chenn yo nan ponyèt li ak nan janm li. Yo fè l' wa. Jeojada, prèt la, ak pitit li yo vide lwil sou tèt Joas pou mete l' apa pou travay la. Tout pèp la pran rele: -Viv wa a!

And they brought out [the] son of the king and they put on him the crown and the testimony and they made king him and they anointed him Jehoiada and sons his and they said may he live the king.

12 Lè Atali tande bri pye pèp la ki t'ap kouri epi ki t'ap bat bravo pou wa a, li prese al nan Tanp kote pèp la te ye a.

And she heard Athaliah [the] sound of the people who were running and who were praising the king and she came to the people [the] house of Yahweh.

13 Li wè wa a te kanpe bò gwo poto a, bò pòtay pou antre nan Tanp lan, chèf yo ak tout mizisyen yo bò kote l'. Tout pèp la te kontan, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt. Sanba yo ak enstriman mizik yo t'ap voye chante. Kè Atali kase, li chire rad sou li, li pran rele: -Men yo moute yon konplo sou do m'.

And she saw and there! the king [was] standing at pillar his at the entrance and the officials and the trumpets [were] with the king and all [the] people of the land [was] joyful and [was] giving a blast on trumpets and the singers with [the] instruments of song [were] leading to praise and she tore Athaliah clothes her and she said treason treason.

14 Lamenm Jeojada, prèt la, bay kaptenn ki t'ap kòmande lame a lòd, li di yo: -Pase nan mitan de ran sòlda yo avè l', mennen l' deyò. Touye nenpòt moun nou wè ki ta vle swiv li. Prèt la te bay lòd pou yo pa touye Atali anndan Tanp Seyè a.

And he sent out Jehoiada the priest [the] commanders of the hundreds - [the] officers of the army and he said to them bring out her to from between the ranks and the [one who] goes after her he will be put to death with the sword for he had said the priest not you must put to death her [the] house of Yahweh.

15 Yo pran Atali, yo mennen l' nan palè wa a, bò Pòtay Chwal yo. Se la yo touye l'.

And they put to her hands and she went to [the] entrance of [the] gate of the horses [the] house of the king and they put to death her there.

16 Lè sa a, Jeojada pase yon kontra ak wa a ansanm ak tout pèp la. Dapre kontra a, yo rekonèt se pèp Seyè a yo ye.

And he made Jehoiada a covenant between himself and between all the people and between the king to become a people of Yahweh.

17 Lè yo fini, tout pèp la ale nan tanp Baal la, yo demoli l'. Yo kraze tout lotèl yo ak tout estati li yo. Yo touye Matan, prèt Baal la, devan lotèl yo.

And they went all the people [the] house of Baal and they pulled down it and altars its and images its they broke and Mattan [the] priest of Baal they killed before the altars.

18 Jeojada mete gad pou fè faksyon devan Tanp Seyè a, anba otorite prèt yo ak moun Levi yo ki te reskonsab travay nan Tanp lan. Chak prèt ak chak moun Levi te gen jou pa yo David te ba yo pou yo te pran sèvis pou boule nèt ofrann pou Seyè a, dapre lalwa Moyiz la. Se yo menm tou ki te reskonsab voye chante kè kontan jan David te moutre l' la.

And he put Jehoiada [the] oversight of [the] house of Yahweh in [the] hand of the priests the Levites whom he had assigned David over [the] house of Yahweh to offer up [the] burnt offerings of Yahweh according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses with joy and with song on [the] hands of David.

19 Jeojada mete gad an faksyon devan pòtay Tanp lan pou enpoze moun ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye a antre.

And he stationed the gatekeepers at [the] gates of [the] house of Yahweh and not he came a [person] unclean to any matter.

20 Apre sa, li pran kaptenn yo, notab yo, otorite yo ak tout rès pèp la, yo soti nan Tanp lan ansanm ak wa a, yo mennen l' ale nan palè a. Yo pase antre nan pòtay Wa a. Lèfini, yo fè wa a chita sou fotèy li.

And he took [the] commanders of the hundreds and the nobles and the rulers over the people and - all [the] people of the land and he brought down the king from [the] house of Yahweh and they came in [the] middle of [the] gate upper [the] house of the king and they made sit the king on [the] throne of royalty.

21 Tout pèp la te kontan anpil. Pat gen yon ti bri nan lavil la depi yo te fin touye Atali ak kout nepe a.

And they rejoiced all [the] people of the land and the city it was at peace and Athaliah they had put to death with the sword.
