2 Istwa 35
1 Wa Jozyas fete fèt Delivrans lan pou Seyè a. Nan katòzyèm jou premye mwa a, yo touye ti mouton pou fèt la.
Then Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and the Passover lamb was slaughtered on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Li bay chak prèt travay pou yo fè nan Tanp lan ankò, li ankouraje yo pou yo fè l' byen.
He appointed the priests to their duties and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.
3 Lèfini, li pale ak moun Levi yo ki te reskonsab moutre pèp Izrayèl la sa pou l' fè epi ki t'ap viv apa nèt pou Seyè a. Li di yo konsa: -Mete Bwat Kontra Bondye a nan Tanp Salomon, pitit David, wa pèp Izrayèl la, te bati a. Nou pa bezwen ap pote l' sou zepòl nou ankò. Koulye a se sèvi nou pral sèvi Seyè a, Bondye nou ak Bondye pèp Izrayèl ki pou li a.
To the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the LORD, Josiah said: “Put the holy ark in the temple built by Solomon son of David king of Israel. It is not to be carried around on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.
4 Pran plas nou nan Tanp lan, chak fanmi apa, dapre reskonsablite nou jan David, wa pèp Izrayèl la, ak Salomon, pitit li, te ekri l' la.
Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions, according to the instructions written by David king of Israel and Solomon his son.
5 N'a rete kote yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a. N'a ranje nou yon jan pou gen yon gwoup moun Levi pou ede chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
Moreover, stand in the Holy Place by the divisions of the families of your kinsmen the lay people, and by the divisions of the families of the Levites.
6 Se nou ki pou touye ti mouton yo ak kabrit yo pou fèt Delivrans lan. Ale mete nou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Seyè a. Pare tou sa nou bezwen pou touye bèt yo pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo, frè nou yo, ka fè seremoni an jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la pou nou.
Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your fellow countrymen to carry out the word of the LORD given by Moses.”
7 Apre sa, Jozyas pran trantmil (30.000) ti mouton ak ti kabrit ansanm ak twamil (3.000) bèf nan bèt pa l', li bay moun pèp Izrayèl ki te la yo pou fè fèt Delivrans lan.
From his own flocks and herds Josiah contributed 30,000 lambs and goats plus 3,000 bulls for the Passover offerings for all the people who were present.
8 Chèf li yo te bay pa yo tou pou pèp la, pou prèt yo ak moun Levi yo. Ilkija, Zakari ak Jeiyèl, ki te reskonsab Tanp Seyè a, bay demil sisan (2.600) ti mouton ak ti kabrit ansanm ak twasan (300) bèf pou yo touye pou fèt la.
His officials also contributed willingly to the people and priests and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the administrators of the house of God, gave the priests 2,600 Passover offerings and 300 bulls.
9 Konanya ak de frè li yo, Chemaja ak Netanèl, ansanm ak Achabya, Jeiyèl ak Jozaba, chèf moun Levi yo, bò pa yo te bay senkmil (5.000) ti mouton ak ti kabrit ak senksan (500) bèf pou moun Levi yo te ofri pou fèt Delivrans lan.
Additionally, Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, as well as Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated to the Levites 5,000 Passover offerings and 500 bulls.
10 Lè tout bagay te pare pou fèt la, prèt yo pran plas yo, moun Levi yo fè gwoup apa jan wa a te ba yo lòd la.
So the service was prepared; the priests stood in their places and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.
11 Lè yo fin touye ti mouton yo, moun Levi yo bay prèt yo san an pou yo vide sou lotèl la. Moun Levi yo menm kòche tout bèt yo.
And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests sprinkled the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.
12 Apre sa, yo wete pati ki pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, yo bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo pou yo al ofri bay Seyè a, jan sa ekri nan Liv Moyiz la. Yo fè menm bagay la pou bèf yo.
They set aside the burnt offerings to be given to the divisions of the families of the people to offer to the LORD, as is written in the Book of Moses; and they did the same with the bulls.
13 Lèfini, moun Levi yo griye ti mouton Delivrans lan sou dife, jan yo te konn fè l' la. Yo bouyi lòt vyann yo te mete apa pou Bondye yo nan chodyè, nan mamit ak nan kaswòl. Lèfini, yo prese separe vyann lan bay tout pèp la.
They roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the regulation, and they boiled the other holy offerings in pots, kettles, and bowls and quickly brought them to all the people.
14 Lè yo fin fè sa, moun Levi yo pare sa ki rete pou yo menm ansanm ak prèt yo, paske prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo, te rete byen ta jouk aswè ap boule bèt moun yo te ofri nèt pou Seyè a ansanm ak grès lòt bèt yo. Se poutèt sa, se moun Levi yo ki te pare vyann ni pou tèt yo ni pou prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo.
Afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were offering up burnt offerings and fat until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
15 Sanba yo menm, moun fanmi Asaf yo, te nan plas yo dapre lòd David, Asaf, Eyman ak Jedoutoun, pwofèt wa a, te bay. Gad pòtay Tanp yo te nan plas yo tou. Yo yonn pa kite pòs yo, paske moun Levi parèy yo t'ap pare pòsyon vyann pa yo pou yo tou.
The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer. And the gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their position, because their fellow Levites made preparations for them.
16 Se konsa jou sa a yo te òganize tout sèvis Seyè a pou fete fèt Delivrans lan, pou boule vyann bèt yo nèt sou lotèl la pou Bondye, jan wa Jozyas te bay lòd la.
So on that day the entire service of the LORD was carried out for celebrating the Passover and offering burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.
17 Pandan sèt jou, tout moun pèp Izrayèl ki te la yo t'ap fete fèt Delivrans lan ak fèt Pen san ledven yo.
The Israelites who were present also observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
18 Depi sou tan pwofèt Samyèl, yo pa t' janm fete fèt Delivrans lan konsa. Pa gen yonn nan ansyen wa pèp Izrayèl yo ki te fete fèt Delivrans lan tankou Jozyas te fè l' lè sa a ansanm ak prèt yo, moun Levi yo ak tout pèp peyi Jida a, moun peyi Izrayèl ki te la yo ansanm ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
No such Passover had been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel ever observed a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all Judah, the Israelites who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.
19 Jozyas te gen dizwitan depi li te wa lè yo te fete fèt Delivrans sa a.
In the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed.
20 Apre sa, lè wa Jozyas te fin fè tout reparasyon ki pou te fèt nan Tanp lan, Neko, wa peyi Lejip la, moute nan direksyon larivyè Lefrat pou l' al goumen bò lavil Kakemich. Jozyas soti al kontre l' pou anpeche l' pase.
After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco king of Egypt marched up to fight at Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to confront him.
21 Men Neko voye misyon sa a bay Jozyas: -Ou wè ou menm, wa peyi Jida, pa antre nan lagè sa a tande! M' pa vin pou m' goumen avè ou, men se avèk yon lòt nasyon mwen gen kont. Bondye di m' pa mize. Tanpri, pou pwòp byen ou, pa kenbe tèt ak Bondye ki avè m'. Konsa li p'ap detwi ou.
But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today, but I am fighting another dynasty. God told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or He will destroy you!”
22 Men, Jozyas te soti pou goumen avè l'. Li derefize koute mesaj Neko te voye ba li a, mesaj ki te soti nan bouch Bondye menm. Se konsa, li degize kò l', li al goumen avè l' nan plenn Megido a.
Josiah, however, did not turn away from him; instead, in order to engage him in battle, he disguised himself. He did not listen to Neco’s words from the mouth of God, but went to fight him on the Plain of Megiddo.
23 Pandan batay la, sòlda ak banza yo tire sou wa Jozyas. Jozyas di moun ki te avè l' yo: -M' blese anpil. Mennen m' ale.
There the archers shot King Josiah, who said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded!”
24 Moun li yo wete l' nan cha lagè li a, yo mete l' nan yon lòt cha li te gen la, epi yo mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm. Se la li mouri. Yo antere l' nan kavo zansèt li yo. Tout moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm te pran gwo lapenn pou Jozyas.
So his servants took him out of his chariot, put him in his second chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. And Josiah was buried in the tomb of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.
25 Pwofèt Jeremi te fè yon chante pou plenn sò wa Jozyas. Depi lè sa a, se yon koutim nan peyi Izrayèl: chak fwa fi yo ak gason yo ap chante nan yon lanmò, yo chonje Jozyas. Yo mete tout chante lanmò sa yo ansanm nan yon liv.
Then Jeremiah lamented over Josiah, and to this day all the choirs of men and women sing laments over Josiah. They established them as a statute for Israel, and indeed they are written in the Book of Laments.
26 Tou sa Jozyas te fè, jan li sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li, jan li te mache dapre sa ki ekri nan Lalwa Seyè a,
As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with his deeds of loving devotion according to what is written in the Law of the LORD—
27 wi, tout istwa Jozyas la nèt, depi premye jou li te moute wa rive jouk dènye jou a, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan Liv Istwa Wa peyi Jida ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
his acts from beginning to end—they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
