2 Wa 23

1 Lè sa a, wa Jozyas voye misyon bay tout chèf fanmi nan lavil Jerizalèm ak nan tout peyi Jida a pou yo reyini ansanm avè l'.

So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.

2 Apre sa, wa a moute nan Tanp Seyè a ansanm avèk prèt yo, pwofèt 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 te nan Liv Kontra yo te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.

And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who lived in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.

3 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 lòd Bondye yo ak tout kè li ak tout nanm li. Lèfini, pou l' kenbe tout kondisyon kontra ki ekri nan liv la. Tout pèp la pran angajman pou yo kenbe kontra a tou.

And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; [even] the things written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

4 Apre sa, Jozyas rele Ilkija, granprèt la, prèt ki te avè l' yo ak sòlda ki te desèvis nan pòt Tanp lan, li ba yo lòd al pran nan Tanp lan tout bagay yo te fè pou Baal, pou Achera ak pou zetwal yo, pote yo deyò. Wa a boule tout bagay sa yo andeyò lavil la, bò fon Sedwon an. Lèfini, li fè pote tout sann yo lavil Betèl.

And the king commanded Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Baethel.

5 Li revoke tout prèt ansyen wa peyi Jida yo te nonmen pou fè sèvis sou lotèl zidòl yo nan lavil peyi Jida yo ak nan zòn Jerizalèm, tout prèt ki t'ap fè sèvis pou Baal, pou solèy, pou lalin, pou douz gwoup zetwal yo ak pou tout lòt zetwal yo.

And he burnt the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda [had] appointed, (and they burnt incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places around about Jerusalem); and them that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven.

6 Li wete estati Achera, zidòl fanm ki te nan Tanp lan, li fè yo pote l' andeyò lavil la nan fon Sedwon. Li boule l', li kraze l' fè l' tounen pousyè, l' al simen pousyè a nan simityè pèp la.

And he carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burnt it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the people.

7 Li demoli tout kay kote mesyedam k'ap fè jennès pou zidòl yo te rete nan Tanp Seyè a. Se la medam yo te konn fè twal pou estati Achera a tou.

And he pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.

8 Lèfini, li fè tout prèt ki te rete nan lavil peyi Jida yo antre lavil Jerizalèm. Li mache nan tout peyi a depi lavil Geba jouk lavil Bècheba, li gate tout kote prèt sa yo te konn fè sèvis pou zidòl yo, kifè yo pa t' ka sèvi pou sa ankò. Li demoli lotèl pòtay yo, ki te bò pòtay Jozye, gouvènè lavil la, te bati sou bò gòch pòtay prensipal la lè w'ap antre.

And he brought up all the priest from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burnt incense, from Gaebal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.

9 Tansèlman, prèt ki te sèvi nan tanp zidòl sa yo pa t' gen dwa sèvi nan Tanp lan ankò, men yo te gen dwa manje pen san ledven ansanm ak lòt prèt parèy yo.

Only the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of their brethren.

10 Wa Jozyas gate Tofèt la tou, yon tanp zidòl ki te nan fon Enon an, konsa pesonn pa t' ka ofri pitit fi osinon pitit gason yo pou boule pou Molòk ankò.

And he defiled Taphes which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.

11 Li wete chwal wa Jida yo te mete apa pou sèvis bondye Solèy la. Li boule cha ki te konn sèvi nan sèvis pou solèy la. Se nan yon pyès nan lakou tanp lan yo te ye, toupre pòtay la, bò kay kote Netanmelèk, nèg konfyans wa a, te rete.

And he burnt the horses which the king of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burnt the chariot of the sun with fire.

12 Wa Jozyas demoli lotèl wa Jida yo te fè bati sou teras anwo apatman wa Akaz la, ansanm ak lotèl wa Manase te bati nan de lakou Tanp lan. Li kraze lotèl yo an miyèt moso, li voye yo jete nan fon Sedwon.

And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.

13 Jozyas gate tout lotèl wa Salomon te fè bati sou bò solèy leve lavil Jerizalèm, sou bò sid Mòn Pye Oliv yo, pou fè sèvis pou Astate, vye zidòl peyi Sidon an, pou Kemòch, vye zidòl peyi Moab la, ak Milkòm, vye zidòl peyi Amon an.

And the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.

14 Wa Jozyas kraze Poto Wòch yo, li koupe estati Achera, zidòl fanm lan. Li kouvri tout kote yo te ye a ak zosman moun.

And he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Jozyas demoli lotèl ak tanp zidòl wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, te bati lavil Betèl la tou. Se Jewoboram sa a ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal. Li kraze lotèl la, li fè wòch yo tounen poud. Li boule estati Achera a.

Also the high altar in Baethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.

16 Lèfini, Jozyas voye je l' sou ti mòn lan, li wè yon bann tonm. Li fè detere zosman yo pou boule yo sou lotèl la. Se konsa li gate lotèl la, jan Seyè a te fè pwofèt la di l' la lè Jewoboram te kanpe bò lotèl la pandan fèt la. Apre sa, Jozyas voye je l' gade ankò, li wè tonm pwofèt ki te fè konnen bagay sa yo gen pou rive a.

And Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.

17 Li mande: —Ki gwo tonm mwen wè laba a: Moun Betèl yo reponn: —Se tonm pwofèt ki te soti peyi Jida vin fè nou konnen sa monwa t'ap vin fè lotèl Betèl la.

And he said, What [is] that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, [It is the grave of] the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Baethel.

18 Jozyas di: —Bon. Kite l' jan li ye a! Piga pesonn manyen zosman li yo. Se konsa yo respekte zosman li yo ansanm ak zosman pwofèt ki te soti lavil Samari a.

And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

19 Nan tout lavil peyi Izrayèl yo, wa Jozyas demoli tout kay zidòl wa peyi Izrayèl yo te fè bati epi ki te lakòz Seyè a te fache anpil. Li fè yo tou sa li te fè tanp zidòl lavil Betèl yo.

Moreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Baethel.

20 Li mete men sou tout prèt zidòl li te jwenn la yo, li touye yo sou lotèl yo. Lèfini, li boule zosman moun sou yo. Apre sa, li tounen tounen l' lavil Jerizalèm.

And he sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

21 Wa Jozyas bay pèp la lòd pou yo fete fèt Delivrans lan pou fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye yo a, jan sa ekri nan Liv Kontra a.

And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.

22 Yo pa t' janm fete fèt Delivrans lan konsa depi lè jij chèf yo t'ap gouvènen peyi a, ni pandan reny tout wa peyi Izrayèl yo ak tout wa peyi Jida yo.

For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.

23 Se sèlman sou reny wa Jozyas yo fete fèt Delivrans lan konsa lavil Jerizalèm pou Seyè a. Lè sa a, wa a t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi a.

But in the eighteenth year of king Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.

24 Jozyas fè disparèt tout divinò ak tout moun ki konn rele mò, tout estati zidòl wogatwa ak lòt vye zidòl degoutan, ak tout lòt vye bagay yo te konn wè nan tout peyi Jida ak nan lavil Jerizalèm. Li fè sa pou l' te ka kenbe kòmandman ak prensip ki ekri nan liv Lalwa Ilkija, prèt la, te jwenn nan Tanp Seyè a.

Moreover Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.

25 Ni anvan l', ni apre l', pa t' janm gen yon wa tankou l' ki te sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li, ak tout nanm li, ak tout kouraj li, jan lalwa Moyiz mande l' la.

There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there rose not one like him.

26 Men malgre sa, Seyè a te move toujou sou pèp peyi Jida a depi lè li te fache sou Manase pou sa l' te fè a.

Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was angry in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses provoked him.

27 Se poutèt sa, Seyè a di: —Mwen pral wete moun peyi Jida yo devan je m' menm jan m' te fè l' pou moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Se mwen ki te chwazi lavil Jerizalèm. Enben, m' pral voye l' jete ansanm ak Tanp mwen te di se la m'ap rete a.

And the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen [even] Jerusalem, and the house [of] which I said, My name shall be there.

28 Tout rès istwa Jozyas la ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa Jida yo.

And the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

29 Se sou reny Jozyas, farawon Neko, wa peyi Lejip, te moute nan direksyon larivyè Lefrat pou l' al bay wa peyi Lasiri a yon koutmen. Wa Jozyas soti al kontre l' pou anpeche li pase. Rive bò lavil Megido, wa Neko wè l', li touye l'.

And in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao killed him in Mageddo when he saw him.

30 Ofisye lame wa Jozyas yo pran kadav la, yo mete l' sou yon cha soti Megido, yo mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm kote yo antere l' nan kavo li. Apre sa, pèp la pran Joakaz, pitit Jozyas, yo mete l' apa devan Bondye pou l' sèvi wa nan plas papa l'.

And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.

31 Joakaz te gen venntwazan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa. Manman l' te rele Amoutal. Se te pitit fi Jeremi, moun lavil Libna.

Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.

32 Men li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou zansèt li yo.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did.

33 Farawon Neko fèmen l' nan prizon lavil Ribla nan zòn Amat, pou li pa gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm anko. Lè sa a tou, farawon an fè peyi Jida soumèt devan l'. Li fòse peyi a ba li sètmil senksan (7.500) liv ajan ak swasannkenz liv lò.

And Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold.

34 Apre sa, li pran Elyakim, pitit Jozyas, li mete l' wa nan plas papa l'. Lè sa a, li chanje non Elyakim, li rele l' Jojakim. Lèfini, li pran Joakaz, li mennen l' nan peyi Lejip. Se la Joakaz mouri.

And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim son of Josias king of Juda king over them in the place of his father Josias, and he changed his name [to] Joakim, and he took Joachaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.

35 Jojakim bay farawon Neko tout ajan ak tout lò li te mande a. Pou l' te ka jwenn yo, li te fè chak moun nan peyi a bay dapre sa yo genyen. Se konsa li te fòse pèp la bay ajan ak lò farawon Neko te mande a.

And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold [each] man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.

36 Jojakim te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan onzan. Manman l' te rele Zebida. Se te pitit fi Pedaja, moun lavil Wouma.

Twenty-five years old [was] Joakim when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jeldaph, daughter of Phadail of Ruma.

37 Men li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou zansèt li yo.

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
