2 Istwa 24

1 Joas te gen laj setan lè l te devni wa, e li te renye pandan karantan Jérusalem, Non manman li te Tsibja soti nan Beer-Schéba.

Joas was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Sabia of Bersabee.

2 Joas te fè sa ki te bon nan zye SENYÈ a pandan tout jou a Jehojada yo, prèt la.

And Joas did that which right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jodae the priest.

3 Jehojada te pran de madanm pou li, e li te vin papa a fis ak fi.

And Jodae took to himself two wives, and they bore sons and daughters.

4 Li te vin rive apre sa ke Joas te pran desizyon pou restore lakay SENYÈ a.

And it came to pass afterward that it came into the heart of Joas to repair the house of the Lord.

5 Li te rasanble prèt yo avèk Levit yo, e li te di yo: “Ale antre nan tout vil Juda yo e rekeyi lajan pami tout Israël pou repare lakay SENYÈ nou an chak ane. Epi fè sa byen vit.” Men Levit yo pa t aji avèk vitès.

And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out into the cities of Juda, and collect money of all Israel to repair the house of the Lord from year to year, and make haste to speak [of it]. But the Levites hasted not.

6 Akoz sa, wa a te rele Jehojada, chèf prèt la. Li te mande li: “Poukisa nou pa t egzije Levit yo pou pote soti Juda avèk Jérusalem taks etabli pa Moïse la, sèvitè SENYÈ a sou asanble Israël la pou tant temwayaj la?”

And king Joas called Jodae the chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not looked after the Levites, so that they should bring from Juda and Jerusalem that which was prescribed by Moses the man of God, when he assembled Israel at the tabernacle of witness?

7 Paske fis a Athalie yo, ki te tèlman mechan, te antre kase lakay Bondye a. Anplis yo te sèvi ak bagay sen nan kay yo pou sèvi Baal.

For Gotholia was a transgressor, and her sons tore down the house of God; for they offered the holy things of the house of the Lord to Baalim.

8 Konsa, wa a te pase lòd e yo te fè yon bwat kès pou te mete li deyò akote pòtay lakay SENYÈ a.

And the king said, Let a box be made, and let it be put at the gate of the house of the Lord without.

9 Yo te fè yon pwoklamasyon nan Juda avèk Jérusalem pou pote bay SENYÈ a, taks Moïse la, sèvitè Bondye a, ki te etabli nan dezè a pou Israël la.

And let [men] proclaim in Juda an in Jerusalem, that [the people] should bring to the Lord, as Moses the servant of God spoke concerning Israel in the wilderness.

10 Tout ofisye yo avèk tout pèp la te rejwi. Yo te pote taks pa yo e yo te depoze yo nan kès la jiskaske yo te ranpli l.

And all the princes and all the people gave, and brought in, and cast into the box until it was filled.

11 Li te vin rive ke nenpòt lè Levit yo te pote kès la anndan kote ofisye wa a yo, e lè yo te wè ke te gen anpil lajan, ke grefye a wa a avèk ofisye a chèf prèt la te vin vide kès la, pran l e remete li nan plas li. Konsa, yo te fè chak jou, e yo te rekeyi anpil lajan.

And it came to pass, when they brought in the box to the officers of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that the money was more than sufficient, then came the king's scribe, and the officer of the high priest, and emptied the box, and restored it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and collected much money.

12 Wa a avèk Jehojada te bay li a sila ki te fè travay nan sèvis lakay SENYÈ a. Yo te anplwaye mason avèk chapant pou restore lakay SENYÈ a, ak ouvriye, fè, avèk bwonz pou repare lakay SENYÈ a.

And the king and Jodae the priest gave it to the workmen employed in the service of the house of the Lord, and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord, also smiths and braziers to repair the house of the Lord.

13 Konsa, ouvriye yo te travay, epi èv reparasyon an te avanse nan men yo. Yo te restore lakay Bondye a selon plan li, e yo te ranfòse li.

And the workmen wrought, and the works prospered in their hands, and they established the house of the Lord on its foundation, and strengthened [it].

14 Lè yo te fini, yo te mennen rès lajan an devan wa a avèk Jehojada. Li te fonn pou fè zouti pou lakay SENYÈ a, zouti pou sèvis la ak ofrann brile a, avèk po ak zouti an lò avèk ajan. Epi yo te ofri ofrann brile yo lakay SENYÈ a san rete pandan tout jou a Jehojada yo.

And when they had finished [it], they brought to the king and to Jodae the remainder of the money, and they made vessels for the house of the Lord, vessels of service for whole-burnt-offerings, and gold and silver [censers]: and they offered up whole-burnt-offerings in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Jodae.

15 Alò, lè Jehojada te rive a yon gwo laj byen mi, li te vin mouri. Li te gen san-trantan lè l te mouri.

And Jodae grew old, being full of days, and he died, being a hundred and thirty years old at his death.

16 Yo te antere li lavil David pami wa yo akoz li te fè byen an Israël ni pou Bondye, ni pou lakay Li a.

And they buried him with the kings in the city of David, because he had dealt well with Israel, and with God and his house.

17 Men apre lanmò Jehojada, ofisye Juda yo te vini bese ba devan wa a, e wa a te koute yo.

And it came to pass after the death of Jodae, [that] the princes of Juda went in, and did obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened to them.

18 Yo te abandone lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt yo a pou te sèvi Asherim yo avèk zidòl yo. Konsa, lakòlè SENYÈ a te desann sou Juda avèk Jérusalem akoz koupabilite sa a.

And they forsook the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and served the Astartes and idols: and there was wrath upon Juda and Jerusalem in that day.

19 Malgre sa, Li te voye pwofèt yo kote yo pou mennen yo retounen a SENYÈ a. Sepandan, yo te fè temwayaj kont yo, e te refize koute yo.

yet he sent prophets to them, to turn them to the Lord; but they hearkened not: and he testified to them, but they obeyed not.

20 Alò Lespri Bondye a te vini sou Zacharie, fis a Jehojada a, prèt la. Li te kanpe anwo pèp la, e te pale yo: “Konsa Bondye te di: ‘Poukisa nou vyole kòmandman a SENYÈ la, e akoz sa nou pa reyisi? Akoz nou te abandone SENYÈ a, Li menm osi te abandone nou.’”

And the Spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Jodae the priest, and he stood up above the people, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Why do ye transgress the commandments of the Lord? so shall ye not prosper; for ye have forsaken the Lord, and he will forsake you.

21 Pou sa, yo te fè konplo kont li. Sou kòmand a wa a, yo te lapide li jiska lanmò nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a.

And they conspired against him, and stone him by command of king Joas in the court of the Lord's house.

22 Konsa, Joas pa t sonje bonte ke papa li, Jehojada te montre li a, men li te touye fis li. Epi pandan li t ap mouri, li te di: “Ke SENYÈ a wè e fè revandikasyon!”

So Joas remembered not the kindness which his father Jodae had exercised towards him, but slew his son. And as he died, he said, The Lord look upon [it], and judge.

23 Alò, li te vin rive nan fen ane ke lame Siryen yo te monte kont li. Yo te vini Juda avèk Jérusalem, e te detwi tout ofisye a pèp la ki te pami pèp la, epi yo te voye tout piyaj la kote wa a Damas la.

And it came to pass after the end of the year, [that] the host of Syria went up against him, and came against Juda and Jerusalem: and they slew all the chiefs of the people among the people, and all their spoils they sent to the king of Damascus.

24 Anverite, lame Siryen an te vini avèk yon ti kantite moun, men SENYÈ a te livre yon trè gwo lame nan men yo, paske yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt yo a. Se konsa yo te egzekite jijman sou Joas.

For the army of Syria came with few men, yet God gave into their hands a very large army, because they had forsaken the God of their fathers; and he brought judgments on Joas.

25 Lè yo te kite Joas, (akoz yo te kite li byen blesi), pwòp sèvitè li yo te fè konplo kont li akoz san fis Jehojada a, prèt la, e yo te asasine li sou kabann li an. Konsa, li te mouri e yo te antere li lavil David la, men yo pa t antere li nan tonm a wa yo.

And after they had departed from him, when they had left him in sore diseases, then his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jodae the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchre of the kings.

26 Alò, sa yo se sila ki te fè konplo kont li yo: Zabad, fis a Schimeath la, Amonit lan, ak Jozabad, fis a Schimrith la, Moabit la.

And they that conspired against him were Zabed the son of Samaath the Ammanite, and Jozabed the son of Samareth the Moabite.

27 Konsènan fis li yo, tout pawòl madichon kont li yo ak rekonstriksyon lakay Bondye a, gade byen, yo ekri nan istwa Liv A Wa Yo. Epi Amatsia, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.

And all his sons, and the five came to him: and the other [matters], behold, they are written in the book of the kings. And Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
