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 seventh year Jehoiada has strengthened himself, and takes the heads of the hundreds, even Azariah son of Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, into the covenant with him.
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 go around in Judah, and gather the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of Israel, and come 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 assembly make a covenant in the house of God with the king, and he says to them, “Behold, the son of the king reigns, as YHWH spoke concerning the sons 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;
This [is] the thing that you do: the third of you, going in on the Sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [are] for gatekeepers of the thresholds,
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 the third [are] at the house of the king, and the third at the Foundation Gate, and all the people [are] in the courts of the house of YHWH.
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 none enter the house of YHWH except the priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for they [are] holy), and all the people keep the watch of YHWH;
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 have surrounded the king all around, each with his weapon in his hand, and he who has gone into the house is put to death; and be with the king in his coming in and in his going out.”
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 Judah do according to all that Jehoiada the priest has commanded, and each takes his men going in on the Sabbath, with those going out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest has not let away the divisions.
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 Jehoiada the priest gives to the heads of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that [are] King David’s, that [are] 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 stations the whole of the people, and each [with] his dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house to the left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by the king, all around.
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 they bring out the son of the king, and put the crown on him, and [give him] the Testimony, and cause him to reign; and Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, “Let the king live!”
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 Athaliah hears the voice of the people who are running, and who are praising the king, and she comes to the people [in] the house of YHWH,
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 sees, and behold, the king is standing by his pillar in the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah tears her garments and says, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”
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 Jehoiada the priest brings out the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and says to them, “Take her out from within the rows, and he who has gone after her is put to death by the sword”; for the priest said, “Do not put her to death [in] the house of YHWH.”
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.
And they make sides for her, and she comes to the entrance of the Horse Gate at the house of the king, and they put her to death 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 Jehoiada makes a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to YHWH;
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 enter the house of Ba‘al, and break it down, indeed, they have broken his altars and his images, and they have slain Mattan priest of Ba‘al before the 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 Jehoiada puts the offices of the house of YHWH into the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had apportioned over the house of YHWH, to cause the burnt-offerings of YHWH to ascend, as written in the Law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands 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 he stations the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of YHWH, and the unclean in anything do not go 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 takes the heads of the hundreds, and the majestic ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and brings down the king from the house of YHWH, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit 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 rejoice, and the city has been quiet, and they have put Athaliah to death by the sword.
