2 Istwa 34

1 Jozyas te gen witan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan tranteyennan.

Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

2 Jozyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Li mache pye pou pye dèyè David, zansèt li a. Li fè tankou l' nan tou sa l'ap fè, san li pa janm fè sa ki mal.

And he did that which was right in the sight of Yhwh, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.

3 Jozyas t'ap mache sou witan depi li te wa lè li konmanse chache konnen volonte Bondye David, zansèt li a. Lè sa a li te yon jenn gason toujou. Li t'ap mache sou douzan depi li te wa lè li konmanse fè detwi tout tanp zidòl, tout pòtre Achera, tout lòt estati an bwa ak an bwonz nan peyi Jida ak nan lavil Jerizalèm.

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, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.

4 Li fè yo demoli devan je li tout lotèl kote yo te fè sèvis pou Baal yo. Li fè yo kraze tout recho kote yo te boule lansan sou lotèl yo. Li fè yo kraze an miyèt moso pòtre Achera ak pòtre tout lòt zidòl ak estati an bwonz yo. Apre sa, yo fè yo tounen poud, yo simen poud la sou tonm moun ki te konn fè sèvis pou yo.

And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

5 Li boule zosman prèt zidòl yo sou lotèl kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou yo a. Se konsa li mete tout peyi Jida a ak lavil Jerizalèm nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.

And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

6 Li fè menm bagay la tou nan lavil ki nan zòn moun Manase, moun Efrayim, ak moun Simeyon yo rive nan zòn moun Neftali yo ak nan tout ti bouk ki te nan vwazinaj yo.

And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

7 Nan tout peyi Izrayèl la, li fè demoli lotèl yo. Li kraze tout estati Achera yo ak lòt zidòl yo fè yo tounen poud. Yo kraze tout lotèl lansan yo an miyèt moso, lèfini li tounen lavil Jerizalèm.

And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

8 Lè sa a, wa Jozyas t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen, li t'ap mete peyi a ansanm ak Tanp lan nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye. Wa a rele twa moun: Chafan, pitit gason Asalya a, Maseya, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joa, pitit gason Joakaz, sekretè wa a. Li ba yo lòd al repare Tanp Seyè a, Bondye li a.

Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Yhwh his God.

9 Mesye yo al jwenn Ilkija, granprèt la. Yo pote ba li tout lajan yo te ranmase nan Tanp lan, lajan moun Levi ki desèvis nan papòt Tanp lan te ranmase nan men moun Efrayim, moun Manase ak lòt moun peyi Izrayèl yo, ansanm ak sa yo te ranmase nan men moun Jida, moun Benjamen ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.

And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.

10 Yo renmèt lajan an nan men mesye ki te reskonsab travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan, pou yo menm yo ka peye moun k'ap travay repare Tanp lan, ki vle di,

And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of Yhwh, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of Yhwh, to repair and amend the house:

11 bòs chapant yo ak bòs mason yo, pou yo ka achte wòch taye ak bwa yo bezwen pou sèvi sipò ak ranfò chapant tanp wa Jida yo te kite ap tonbe a.

Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

12 Mesye yo te serye nan travay yo. Te gen kat moun Levi ki t'ap dirije yo. Se te: Joak ak Obadya, moun nan branch fanmi Merari a, Zekaraja ak Mechoulam, moun nan branch fanmi Keyat. Moun Levi ki te konn fè mizik sou enstriman yo

And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.

13 te reskonsab moun ki t'ap bwote materyo yo ak tout lòt ouvriye ki t'ap fè lòt travay yo. Te gen lòt moun Levi ki te reskonsab ekri istwa tou sa k'ap pase. Genyen ki te sekretè, genyen ki t'ap fè pòs nan papòt yo.

Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.

14 Pandan yo t'ap wete lajan yo te mete nan Tanp Seyè a, Ilkija, prèt la, jwenn liv Lalwa Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou pèp la.

And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Yhwh, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of Yhwh given by Moses.

15 Ilkija pale ak Chafan, sekretè a, li di l' li jwenn liv Lalwa a nan Tanp Seyè a. Epi li ba li l'.

And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Yhwh. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.

16 Chafan pote liv la bay wa a, epi li fè rapò li, li di l' konsa: -Nou fè tou sa ou te ban nou lòd fè.

And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.

17 Yo pran tout lajan ki te nan Tanp Seyè a, yo renmèt li nan men moun ki reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan ak moun k'ap fè travay yo.

And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of Yhwh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.

18 Lèfini, Chafan di wa a: -Ilkija, prèt la, te ban m' yon liv. Chafan li liv la pou wa a.

Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

19 Lè wa a tande pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la, li chire rad sou li tèlman li te sezi.

And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.

20 Lèfini, li fè rele Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, pitit gason Chafan an, Abdon, pitit Mikaja a, Chafan, sekretè a, ak Asaja, nèg konfyans wa a. Li ba yo lòd sa a:

And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king’s, saying,

21 -Ale chache konnen sa Seyè a vle nou fè, mwen menm ansanm ak tout rès pèp li a ki rete nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Izrayèl la. Chache konnen sa pou n' fè ak pawòl ki nan liv nou jwenn lan. Seyè a move anpil sou nou, paske zansèt nou yo pa t' koute pawòl Seyè a, ni yo pa t' fè tou sa ki ekri nan liv la.

Go, enquire of Yhwh for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of Yhwh that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Yhwh, to do after all that is written in this book.

22 Se konsa, Ilkija ansanm ak lòt mesye wa a te chwazi yo al kay Oulda, yon pwofèt fanm ki te rete nan katye yo te fèk bati lavil Jerizalèm lan. Oulda sa a te madanm yon nonm yo te rele Chaloum, pitit Tokeyat, pitit pitit Asra a, ki te reskonsab rad yo sèvi nan Tanp lan. Yo esplike Oulda tou sa ki rive.

And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; ( now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college: ) and they spake to her to that effect.

23 Oulda di yo konsa: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Tounen al di moun ki voye nou bò kote m' lan

And she answered them, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,

24 men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Mwen pral voye yon malè sou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak sou tout moun li yo, jan sa ekri nan liv yo li pou wa peyi Jida a.

Thus saith Yhwh, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:

25 Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo vire do ban mwen. Yo fè sèvis pou lòt bondye. Avèk tout zak sa yo, mwen move anpil sou lavil Jerizalèm. Kòlè m' poko ap pase.

Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.

26 Men sa n'a di wa peyi Jida a ki voye nou vin konnen volonte Bondye a. Wi, men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di l': Ou tande sa ki ekri nan liv la.

And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of Yhwh, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;

27 Sa fè kè ou fè ou mal, ou desann ou devan mwen lè ou tande deklarasyon mwen fè sou lavil sa a ak sou tout moun li yo. Wi, lè ou tande sa, ou chire rad sou ou, dlo koule nan je ou. Se poutèt sa mwen menm tou mwen tande ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap di ou sa.

Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith Yhwh.

28 Ou menm, w'ap mouri nan kabann ou, y'ap antere ou nan menm kavo ak zansèt ou yo. Ou p'ap gen tan wè malè m'ap voye sou lavil Jerizalèm ak sou moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Mesye yo tounen rapòte mesaj la bay wa Jozyas.

Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.

29 Lè sa a, wa a voye misyon bay tout chèf fanmi nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a, pou yo reyini ansanm avè l'.

Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

30 Apre sa, wa a moute nan Tanp Seyè a ansanm ak prèt yo, moun Levi yo, tout moun peyi Jida yo, moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo ak tout rès pèp la, grannèg kou tinèg. Wa a kanpe devan yo tout, li li byen fò tou sa ki nan liv Kontra yo te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.

And the king went up into the house of Yhwh, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of Yhwh.

31 Lè li fini, li rete kanpe nan plas rezève pou li bò gwo poto a, li pran angajman devan Seyè a pou li fè volonte Seyè a, pou li mache dapre kòmandman, prensip ak lalwa Bondye yo ak tout kè li ak tout nanm li, lèfini pou l' kenbe tout kondisyon kontra ki ekri nan liv la.

And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Yhwh, to walk after Yhwh, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.

32 Apre sa, wa a fè tout moun ki te lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo pran menm angajman an tou. Depi lè sa a, moun lavil Jerizalèm yo mache dapre kontra yo te pase ak Bondye zansèt yo a.

And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

33 Jozyas fè disparèt tout vye zidòl sal nan peyi ki te pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li mete tout moun ki te rete nan peyi Izrayèl la nan obligasyon pou yo sèvi Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Se konsa pandan tout tan Jozyas te vivan an, tout pèp la te kenbe pye Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, fèm.

And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve Yhwh their God. And all his days they departed not from following Yhwh, the God of their fathers.
