2 Wa 22
1 Jozyas te gen witan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan tranteyennan. Manman l' te rele Jedida. Se te pitit fi Adaja, moun lavil Bozka.
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
2 Jozyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Li mache pye pou pye dèyè David, zansèt li, 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 the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 Wa Jozyas t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen. Yon jou li pran sekretè palè a, Chafan, pitit gason Azalya a, pitit pitit Mechoulam lan, li voye l' nan Tanp Seyè a, li di l' konsa:
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
4 —Ale jwenn Ilkija, granprèt la. W'a di l' pou l' fè rapò kantite lajan prèt ki desèvis devan pòt Tanp lan ranmase nan men pèp la.
Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
5 W'a di l' pou l' renmèt lajan an nan men mesye ki 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 let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,
6 bòs chapant yo, kontremèt yo ak bòs mason yo, lèfini pou yo achte bwa ak wòch yo bezwen pou fè reparasyon nan Tanp lan.
To carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
7 Li p'ap bezwen fè regleman ak moun sa yo, paske se moun serye yo ye.
However, there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
8 Lè Chafan, sekretè a, fin bay Ilkija lòd wa a, Ilkija di l' konsa: —Mwen jwenn liv lalwa a nan Tanp Seyè a. Ilkija bay Chafan liv la. Chafan li l'.
And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
9 Lèfini, li tounen al jwenn wa a, li fè rapò li. Li di l' konsa: —Moun ou yo pran tout lajan ki te nan Tanp lan, yo renmèt li bay moun ki reskonsab fè reparasyon nan Tanp Seyè a.
And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Your servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.
10 Lèfini, li di wa a: —Ilkija, prèt la, te ban m' yon liv tou. Chafan li liv la pou wa a.
And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11 Lè wa a tande pawòl ki te ekri nan liv la, li chire rad sou li a sitèlman li te sezi.
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
12 Li fè chache Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, pitit Chafan an, Achbò, pitit Mikaja a, Chafan, sekretè palè a, ak Asaja, nèg konfyans wa a. Li ba yo lòd sa a:
And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king’s, saying,
13 —Ale chache konnen sa Seyè a vle nou fè, mwen menm ansanm ak tout pèp Jida a, avèk tout pawòl ki nan liv nou jwenn lan! Seyè a move anpil sou nou, paske zansèt nou yo pa t' okipe sa yo di nan liv la, ni yo pa t' fè tou sa ki ekri ladan l'.
Go you, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.
14 Se konsa Ilkija, prèt la, Akikam, Akbò, Chafan ak Asaja al kay Oulda, yon pwofèt fanm ki te rete nan katye yo te fèk bati lavil Jerizalèm lan. Oulda sa a se te madanm yon nonm yo rele Chaloum, pitit Tikva, pitit pitit Aras ki te reskonsab rad seremoni yo. Mesye yo di Oulda sa ki te rive.
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelled in Jerusalem in the college; ) and they communed with her.
15 Oulda reponn: —Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Tounen al di moun ki voye nou bò kote m' lan:
And she said to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
16 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 wa Jida a te li a.
Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read:
17 Yo vire do ban mwen, yo fè sèvis pou lòt bondye. Avèk tout zak sa yo, yo fè m' fè kolè. Mwen move anpil sou lavil Jerizalèm. Kolè m' poko ap pase.
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
18 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 which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which you have heard;
19 Sa fè kè ou fè ou mal, ou soumèt ou devan mwen, lè ou tande deklarasyon mwen fè sou lavil sa a ak sou tout moun li yo. Se bagay ki pral fè moun mete men nan bouch. Y'ap sèvi ak non yo pou bay madichon. 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 have humbled yourself before the LORD, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have rent your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you, says the LORD.
20 Ou menm, w'ap mouri ak kè poze 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 lan. Mesye yo tounen pote mesaj la bay wa Jozyas.
Behold therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered into your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring on this place. And they brought the king word again.
