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.

A son of seven years [is] Joash in his reigning, and forty years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba.

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

And Joash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

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

And Jehoiada taketh for him two wives, and he begetteth sons and daughters.

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

And it cometh to pass after this, it hath been with the heart of Joash to renew the house of Jehovah,

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 gathereth the priests and the Levites, and saith to them, 'Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently year by year, and ye, ye do haste to the matter;' and the Levites have not hasted.

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 the king calleth for Jehoiada the head, and saith to him, 'Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses, servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?

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 sons of Athaliah, the wicked one, have broken up the house of God, and also, all the holy things of the house of Jehovah they have prepared for 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 speaketh, and they make one chest, and put it at the gate of the house of Jehovah 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 give an intimation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring in to Jehovah the tribute of Moses, servant of God, [laid] on 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 heads, and all the people rejoice, and they bring in, and cast into the chest, unto completion.

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 cometh to pass, at the time one bringeth in the chest for the inspection of the king by the hand of the Levites, and at their seeing that the money [is] abundant, that a scribe of the king hath come in, and an officer of the head-priest, and they empty the chest, and take it up and turn it back unto its place; thus they have done day by day, and gather money in abundance.

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 Jehoiada give it unto the doers of the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they are hiring hewers and artificers to renew the house of Jehovah, and also — to artificers in iron and brass to strengthen the house of Jehovah.

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 those doing the business work, and there goeth up lengthening to the work by their hand, and they establish the house of God, by its proper measure, and strengthen 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 at their completing [it], they have brought in before the king and Jehoiada the rest of the money, and they make it vessels for the house of Jehovah, vessels of serving, and of offering up, and spoons, even vessels of gold and silver; and they are causing burnt-offerings to ascend in the house of Jehovah continually, all the days of Jehoiada.

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 Jehoiada is aged and satisfied with days, and dieth — a son of a hundred and thirty years in 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 bury him in the city of David, with the kings, for he hath done good in 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 after the death of Jehoiada come in have heads of Judah, and bow themselves to the king; then hath the king hearkened unto 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 forsake the house of Jehovah, God of their fathers, and serve the shrines and the idols, and there is wrath upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt.

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.

And He sendeth among them prophets, to bring them back unto Jehovah, and they testify against them, and they have not given ear;

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 hath clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he standeth over-against the people, and saith to them, 'Thus said God, Why are ye transgressing the commands of Jehovah, and prosper not? because ye have forsaken Jehovah — He doth 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 conspire against him, and stone him with stones by the command of the king, in the court of the house of Jehovah,

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!”

and Joash the king hath not remembered the kindness that Jehoiada his father did with him, and slayeth his son, and in his death he said, 'Jehovah doth see, and require.'

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 cometh to pass, at the turn of the year, come up hath the force of Aram against him, and they come in unto Judah and Jerusalem, and destroy all the heads of the people from the people, and all their spoil they have 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 with few men have the force of Aram come in, and Jehovah hath given into their hand a mighty force for multitude, because they have forsaken Jehovah, God of their fathers; and with Joash they have executed judgments.

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 in their going from him — for they left him with many diseases — his servants themselves have conspired against him, for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slay him on his bed, and he dieth; and they bury him in the city of David, and have not buried him in the graves 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 these [are] those conspiring against him, Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

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.

As to his sons, and the greatness of the burden upon him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo, they are written on the 'Inquiry' of the book of the Kings; and reign doth Amaziah his son in his stead.
