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.
And Josiah makes a Passover to YHWH in Jerusalem, and they slaughter the Passover-offering on the fourteenth 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.
and he stations the priests over their charges, and strengthens them for the service of the house of YHWH,
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.
and says to the Levites who are teaching all Israel, who are sanctified to YHWH, “Put the holy Ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel, built; it is not a burden on the shoulder to you. Now serve your God YHWH 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.
and prepare, by the house of your fathers, according to your divisions, by the writing of David king of Israel, and by the writing of his son Solomon,
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.
and stand in the holy place, by the divisions of the house of the fathers of your brothers, sons of the people, and the portion of the house of a father 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.
and slaughter the Passover-offering and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of YHWH by the hand of 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.
And Josiah lifts up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats, the whole for Passover-offerings, for everyone who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these [are] from the substance of the king.
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.
And his heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the priests and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, have given two thousand and six hundred to the priests for Passover-offerings, and three hundred oxen;
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.
and Conaniah, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, have lifted up five thousand to the Levites for Passover-offerings, and five hundred oxen.
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.
And the service is prepared, and the priests stand on their station, and the Levites on their divisions, according to the command of the king,
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 slaughter the Passover-offering, and the priests sprinkle out of their hand, and the Levites are stripping [them];
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.
and they turn aside the burnt-offering to put them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to bring near to YHWH, as it is written in the scroll of Moses—and so for the oxen.
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.
And they cook the Passover with fire according to the ordinance, and they have cooked the sanctified things in pots, and in kettles, and in pans—for all the sons of 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.
And afterward they have prepared for themselves and for the priests; for the priests, sons of Aaron, [are occupied] in the offering up of the burnt-offering and of the fat until night; and the Levites have prepared for themselves and for the priests, sons 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.
And the singers, sons of Asaph, [are] on their station according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun seer of the king, and the gatekeepers [are] at every gate; it is not for them to turn aside from off their service, for their brothers the Levites have prepared 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.
And all the service of YHWH is prepared on that day to keep the Passover and to cause burnt-offering to ascend on the altar of YHWH, 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.
And the sons of Israel who are found make the Passover at that time, and the Celebration of Unleavened Things, [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.
And there has not been made a Passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, and none of the kings of Israel made such a Passover as Josiah has made, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who are found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Jozyas te gen dizwitan depi li te wa lè yo te fete fèt Delivrans sa a.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover has been made.
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 has prepared the house, Necho king of Egypt has come up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah goes forth to meet 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.
and he sends messengers to him, saying, “And what do I [have to do] with you, O king of Judah? I do not come against you today, but to the house with which I have war, and God commanded to hurry me; cease for yourself from God who [is] with me, and He does not 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.
And Josiah has not turned around his face from him, but has disguised himself to fight against him, and has not listened to the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and comes to fight in the Valley 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.
and the archers shoot at King Josiah, and the king says to his servants, “Remove me, for I have become very sick.”
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.
And his servants remove him from the chariot, and cause him to ride on the second chariot that he has, and cause him to go to Jerusalem, and he dies, and is buried in the graves of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning for Josiah,
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.
and Jeremiah laments for Josiah, and all the male and female singers speak in their lamentations of Josiah to this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and behold, they are written beside the Lamentations.
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,
And the rest of the matters of Josiah and his kind acts, according as it is written in the Law of YHWH,
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.
even his matters, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.
