2 Istwa 23
1 Alò, nan setyèm ane, Jehojada te ranfòse tèt li, e te pran chèf a dè santèn yo: Azaria, fis a Obed la, Maaséja, fis a Adaja a ak Élischaphath, fis a Zicri a. Yo te antre nan yon akò avèk li.
And in the eighth year Jodae strengthened [himself], and took the captains of hundreds, Azarias the son of Joram, and Ismael the son of Joanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasaeas the son of Adia, and Elisaphan the son of Zacharias, with him to the house of the Lord.
2 Yo te ale toupatou nan Juda pou te rasanble Levit soti nan tout vil Juda yo ak chèf lakay zansèt Israël yo, e yo te vini Jérusalem.
And they went round about Juda, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and heads of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3 Konsa, tout asanble a te fè yon akò avèk wa a nan kay Bondye a. Epi Jehojada te di yo: “Gade byen, fis a wa a oblije renye, jan SENYÈ a te pale pa fis a David yo.
and all the congregation of Juda made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he showed them the king's son, and said to them, Behold, let the king's son reign, as the Lord said concerning the house of David.
4 Sa se bagay ke nou oblije fè: yon tyè nan nou, nan prèt avèk Levit ki antre nan Saba yo, va sèvi kòm gadyen pòtay;
Now this [is] the thing which you shall do. Let a third part of you, [even] of the priests and of the Levites, enter in on the sabbath, even into the gates of the entrances;
5 yon tyè va kote lakay wa a, e yon tyè kote Pòtay Fondasyon an. Tout pèp la va nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a.
and let a third part be in the house of the king; and another third at the middle gate: and all the people in the courts of the Lord's house.
6 Men pa kite pèsòn antre lakay SENYÈ a, sof ke prèt avèk Levit k ap fè sèvis yo. Yo kab antre, paske yo sen, men tout pèp la va kenbe règleman a SENYÈ a.
And let not [any one] enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests and the Levites, and the servants of the Levites; they shall enter in, because they are holy: and let all the people keep the watch of the Lord.
7 Levit yo va antoure wa a, chak mesye avèk zam yo nan men yo. Nenpòt moun ki antre nan kay la, fòk li mouri. Rete avèk wa a lè l antre ak lè l sòti.”
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man's weapon in his hand; and whoever [else] goes into the house shall die: but they shall be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.
8 Konsa, Levit yo avèk tout Juda te fè selon tout sa ke Jehojada, prèt la, te kòmande yo a. Yo chak te pran mesye pa yo ki te gen pou antre anndan nan Saba a, avèk sila ki t ap sòti nan Saba yo, paske Jehojada, prèt la, pa t lage okenn nan divizyon sòlda yo.
And the Levites and all Juda did according to all that the priest Jodae commanded them, and they took each his men from the beginning of the sabbath to the end of the sabbath, for Jodae the priest did not dismiss the courses.
9 Jehojada, prèt la, te bay a chèf dè santèn yo lans avèk gwo boukliye defans, ki te konn pou Wa David, ki te lakay Bondye a.
And Jodae gave to the men the swords, and the shields, and the arms, which [had] belonged to King David, in the house of God.
10 Li te estasyone tout pèp la, chak mesye yo avèk zam yo nan men yo, sòti nan kote dwat kay la jis rive nan kote goch kay la, toupre lotèl la, toupre kay la, antoure wa a nèt.
And he set the whole people, every man with his arms, from the right side of the house to the left side of the altar and the house, over against the king round about.
11 Epi yo te mennen fè parèt fis a wa a, yo te mete kouwòn nan sou li. Konsa, yo te ba li temwayaj pou te fè l wa. Jehojada avèk fis li yo te onksyone li, e yo te di ansanm: “Viv wa a!”
And he brought out the king's son, and put on him the crown and the testimony, and Jodae the priest and his sons proclaimed him king, and anointed him, and said, Long live the king!
12 Lè Athalie te tande bwi a pèp la ki t ap kouri ak bay lwanj a wa a, li te antre lakay SENYÈ a kote pèp la.
And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and acknowledging and praising the king: and she went in to the king into the house of the Lord.
13 Li te gade e vwala, wa a te kanpe akote pilye li nan antre a, e chèf yo avèk mesye twonpèt yo te akote wa a. Epi tout pèp peyi a te rejwi. Yo te soufle twonpèt yo e chantè avèk enstriman yo pou dirije lwanj lan. Athalie te chire rad li, e te di: “Trayizon! Trayizon!”
And she looked, and, behold, the king [stood] in his place, and the princes and trumpets were at the entrance, and the princes were round the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded the trumpets, and there were the singers singing with instruments, and singing hymns of praise. and Gotholia tore her robe, and cried, you surely are plotting against [me].
14 Jehojada, prèt la te mennen fè sòti chèf a dè santèn ki te chwazi sou lame yo. Li te di yo: “Mennen li deyò antre ranje yo, epi nenpòt moun ki swiv li, mete li a lanmò avèk nepe.” Paske prèt la te di: “Pa kite li mouri lakay SENYÈ a.”
And Jodae the priest went forth, and Jodae the priest charged the captains of hundreds, even the captains of the host, and said to them, Thrust her forth outside the house, and follow her, and let her be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of the Lord.
15 Konsa, yo te sezi li e lè li te rive kote antre Pòtay Cheval la, lakay wa a, yo te mete li a lanmò la.
So they let her go [out]; and she went through the horsemen's gate of the house of the king, and they killed her there.
16 Epi Jehojada te fè yon akò antre li menm avèk tout pèp la, e avèk wa a, pou yo ta pèp a SENYÈ a.
And Jodae made a covenant between himself, and the people, and the king, that the people should be the Lord's.
17 Konsa, tout pèp la te ale kote kay Baal la. Yo te chire, kase an mòso lotèl li yo, avèk imaj li yo, e yo te touye Matthan, prèt Baal la devan lotèl yo.
And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore down it and its altars, and they ground his images to powder, and they killed Matthan the priest of Baal before his altars.
18 Anplis, Jehojada te mete ofisye lakay SENYÈ yo anba otorite prèt Levit yo, ke David te apwente sou lakay SENYÈ a, pou ofri ofrann brile a SENYÈ, jan sa ekri nan lalwa Moïse la—-avèk anpil rejwisans ak chante selon lòd a David la.
And Jodae the priest committed the works of the house of the Lord into the and of the priests and Levites, and he re-established the courses of the priests and Levites which David appointed over the house of the Lord, and [he appointed them] to offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with gladness, and with songs by the hand of David.
19 Li te estasyone gadyen pòtay yo lakay SENYÈ a, pou pèsòn pa t kab antre, si pou nenpòt rezon li pa t pwòp.
And the porters stood at the gates of the house of the Lord, that no one unclean in any respect should enter in.
20 Li te pran chèf a dè santèn yo, moun enpòtan yo, moun ki te gouvène pèp la, tout pèp peyi a, e yo te mennen wa a desann soti lakay SENYÈ a pou te antre pa wo pòtay la pou antre lakay wa a. Konsa, yo te mete wa a sou twòn wayal la.
And he took the heads of families, and the mighty men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they conducted the king into the house of the Lord; and he went through the inner gate into the king's house, and they seated the king on the throne of the kingdom.
21 Tout pèp peyi a te rejwi e vil la te vin kalm. Paske yo te mete Athalie a lanmò avèk nepe.
And all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet: and they killed Gotholia.
