2 Wa 12
1 Lè sa a, Jeou t'ap mache sou sètan depi li t'ap gouvènen. Joas pase karantan lavil Jerizalèm ap dirije peyi a. Manman l' te yon moun lavil Bècheba ki te rele Zibya.
In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Joas pase tout lavi li ap fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, paske se Jeojada, prèt la, ki te leve l'.
Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
3 Tansèlman, se pa sa ki te fè tanp zidòl yo disparèt nan peyi a. Moun yo te toujou ap fè ofrann, ap boule lansan nan tanp sa yo.
However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4 Yon jou, Joas rele prèt yo, li di yo: —Se nou ki pou reskonsab tout lajan ofrann yo pote nan tanp Seyè a, ni lajan chak moun fèt pou yo bay pou sakrifis yo, ni lajan moun yo vle bay paske yo fè lide a.
Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of the LORD, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
5 Chak prèt va resevwa lajan nan men moun yo konnen. Y'a sèvi ak lajan sa a pou fè reparasyon ki bezwen fèt nan Tanp lan.
let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found."
6 Men, Joas te gen tan ap mache sou venntwazan depi li te wa, prèt yo pa t' fè ankenn reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Wa Joas rele Jeojada, prèt la, ansanm ak tout lòt prèt yo, li di yo: —Poukisa nou pa fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan? Depi jòdi a, nou p'ap resevwa lajan ankò nan men moun nou konnen yo. Se pou nou renmèt lajan an pou yo ka fè reparasyon nan tanp lan.
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, "Why do you not repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house."
8 Prèt yo dakò pou yo pa kenbe lajan yo resevwa nan men pèp la ankò, lèfini pou yo pa reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan.
The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house.
9 Lè sa a, Jeojada, prèt la, pran yon bwat, li fè yon twou nan kouvèti li, li mete l' toupre lotèl la, sou bò dwat lè w'ap antre nan Tanp Seyè a. Se ladan l' prèt ki t'ap veye nan papòt Tanp lan mete tout lajan yo te bay pou Tanp lan.
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the LORD: and the priests who kept the threshold put in it all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
10 Chak fwa yo wè te gen bonkou lajan nan bwat la, sekretè wa a ansanm ak granprèt la vini, yo kontwole lajan an, yo mete l' nan sak.
It was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
11 Lè yo fin make kantite lajan yo te jwenn lan, yo renmèt li bay moun ki te reskonsab travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan. Moun sa yo menm peye bòs chapant yo, lòt bòs ki t'ap fè travay nan Tanp lan,
They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of the LORD,
12 bòs mason yo ak moun k'ap taye wòch yo. Yo achte bwa ak gwo wòch taye pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a. Se yo menm ki te fè tout kalite depans pou sa.
and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 Men yo pa t' pran nan lajan yo te pote nan Tanp lan pou fè gwo basin an ajan, kouto, bòl ak twonpèt yo, ni ankenn lòt bagay an lò osinon an ajan.
But there were not made for the house of the LORD cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD;
14 Yo te renmèt tout lajan an bay moun ki te reskonsab travay yo pou yo te ka sèvi avè l' pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.
15 Yo pa t' fè ankenn regleman ak moun ki te reskonsab lajan pou peye travayè yo, paske se moun serye yo te ye.
Moreover they did not demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
16 Yo pa t' mete lajan ofrann moun fè pou peye pou sa yo fè ki mal ak lajan ofrann moun fè pou peche yo fè san yo pa konnen nan bwat Tanp Seyè a. Se pou prèt yo li te ye.
The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.
17 Lè sa a, Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, atake lavil Gat. Li pran l', lèfini li pran mache sou lavil Jerizalèm.
Then Hazael king of Aram went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 Joas, wa peyi Jida a, pran tout bagay zansèt li yo, depi Jozafa ak Joram rive sou Okozyas ki te ansyen wa peyi Jida yo, te ofri bay Seyè a ansanm ak tout bagay li menm li te ofri bay Seyè a epi ki te nan Tanp lan, li pran tout lò li jwenn nan trezò Tanp lan ak tout lò ki te nan palè a, li voye yo fè Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, kado. Azayèl chanje lide, li pa moute atake lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Aram: and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 Tout rès istwa Joas ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Jida yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 Se pwòp chèf li yo ki te moute yon konplo sou do l'. Yo touye l' nan kay yo te bati sou ranblè ki sou bò solèy leve lavil Jerizalèm lan, sou wout ki mennen desann bò Sila a.
His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
21 Se Jozaka, pitit Chimeya, ak Jozabab, pitit Chomè, de chèf ki t'ap sèvi ak wa a, ki touye l'. Yo antere Joas nan lavil David nan kavo fanmi an. Se Amasya, pitit gason li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
For Jozabad the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the City of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
