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 thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
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.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or 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, the Asherah poles, the engraved 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.
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.
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.
He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged 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.
He did this in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins.
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.
He broke down the altars, beat the Asherah poles and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all Eretz-Israel, then 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, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder to repair the house of the LORD 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.
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.
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,
They delivered it into the hands of the workmen who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and the workmen who laboured in the LORD’s house gave it to mend and repair 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.
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.
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
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 skilful with musical instruments.
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 directed all who did the work in every kind of service. Of the Levites, there were scribes, officials, and gatekeepers.
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.
When they brought out the money that was brought into the LORD’s house, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the LORD’s law 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'.
Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the scroll of the Torah in the LORD’s house.” So 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.
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.
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.
They have emptied out the money that was found in the LORD’s house, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and into 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.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book.” Shaphan read from it to the king.
19 Lè wa a tande pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la, li chire rad sou li tèlman li te sezi.
When the king had heard the words of the law, he tore 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:
The king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, 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 the LORD 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 the LORD’s wrath that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the LORD’s word, to do according to 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.
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.
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
She said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Tell the man who 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.
“The LORD 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.
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 burnt 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.’”’
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.
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, you shall tell him this, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says: “About the words which you have 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 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 the LORD.
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 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.
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.
The king went up to the LORD’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 the LORD’s house.
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.
The king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 the LORD their God. All his days they didn’t depart from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
