2 Istwa 29
1 Ézéchias te devni wa a laj venn-senkan. Li te renye pandan vent-nevan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Abija, fi Zacharie a.
Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old; and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a selon tout sa ke papa zansèt li a, David te fè.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done.
3 Nan premye ane règn li a, nan premye mwa a, li te ouvri pòt lakay SENYÈ a e te repare yo.
In the first year of his rule, in the first month, opening the doors of the Lord's house, he made them strong.
4 Li te mennen prèt yo avèk Levit yo, e te rasanble yo nan plas sou lès la.
And he sent for the priests and the Levites, and got them together in the wide place on the east side,
5 Konsa, li te di yo: “Koute mwen, O Levit yo. Konsakre nou menm koulye a, konsakre lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt nou yo, e pote sa ki pa pwòp deyò pou l vin yon lye sen.
And said to them, Give ear to me, O Levites: now make yourselves holy, and make holy the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away everything unclean from the holy place.
6 Paske papa nou yo pa t fidèl. Yo te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ Bondye nou an. Yo te abandone Li, e yo te vire fas yo lwen plas kote SENYÈ a rete a. Yo te vire do yo.
For our fathers have done evil, sinning in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have given him up, turning away their faces from the house of the Lord, and turning their backs on him.
7 Anplis, yo te fèmen pòt sou galeri yo, etenn lanp yo, e yo pa t brile lansan ni ofri ofrann brile nan lye sen Bondye Israël la.
The doors of his house have been shut and the lights put out; no perfumes have been burned or offerings made to the God of Israel in his holy place.
8 Pou sa, kòlè SENYÈ a te kont Juda avèk Jérusalem, e Li te fè yo vin yon objè gwo etonman abominab avèk laperèz ak siflèt ki fèt sou yo, jan nou wè avèk pwòp zye nou an.
And so the wrath of the Lord has come on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has given them up to be a cause of fear and wonder and shame, as your eyes have seen.
9 Paske gade byen, pou sa, papa zansèt nou yo fin tonbe anba nepe, e fis yo avèk fi yo avèk madanm nou yo vin nan esklavaj akoz sa.
For see, our fathers have been put to death with the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives have been taken away prisoners because of this.
10 Alò, sa nan kè m pou fè yon akò avèk SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, pou chalè kòlè Li a kapab detounen kite nou.
Now it is my purpose to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from us.
11 Fis mwen yo, koulye a, pa kite nou vin lach nan moman sa a, paske SENYÈ a te chwazi nou pou kanpe devan L, pou fè sèvis pou Li, pou devni sèvitè Li epi brile lansan.”
My sons, take care now: for you have been marked out by the Lord to come before him and to be his servants, burning offerings to him.
12 Konsa, Levit yo te leve: Machath, fis a Amasaï a, Joël, fis a Azaria a, soti nan fis a Keatit yo; epi soti nan fis a Merari yo, Kis, fis a Abdi a, Azaria, fis a Jehalléleel la; epi soti nan Gèshonit yo, Joach, fis a Zimma a, Éden, fis a Joach la;
Then the Levites took their places; Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, among the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;
13 epi soti nan fis a Élitsaphan yo, Schimri avèk Jeïel, fis a Asapah yo, Zacharie avèk Matthania;
And of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 epi soti nan fis a Héman yo, Jehiel avèk Schimeï; epi soti nan fis a Jeduthun yo, Schemaeja avèk Uzziel.
And of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 Yo te rasanble frè yo, yo te konsakre yo menm, e te antre pou netwaye lakay SENYÈ a, selon kòmandman a wa a, selon pawòl SENYÈ a.
And they got their brothers together and made themselves holy, and went in, as the king had said by the word of the Lord, to make the house of the Lord clean.
16 Pou sa, prèt yo te antre nan pati enteryè lakay SENYÈ a pou netwaye li, epi chak bagay yo te twouve ki pa t pwòp nan tanp SENYÈ a, yo te mete li deyò nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a. Depi la, Levit yo te resevwa l pou pote l rive nan Vale Cédron an.
And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to make it clean, and everything unclean which was to be seen in the Temple of the Lord they took out into the outer square of the Lord's house, and the Levites got it together and took it away to the stream Kidron.
17 Alò, yo te kòmanse fè konsekrasyon an, epi nan premye jou, nan premye mwa a, e nan uityèm jou nan mwa a, yo te rive sou galeri SENYÈ a. Konsa, yo te konsakre lakay SENYÈ a nan ui jou e yo te fini sou sèzyèm jou nan premye mwa a.
On the first day of the first month the work of making the house holy was started, and on the eighth day they came to the covered way of the Lord; in eight days they made the Lord's house holy, and on the sixteenth day of the first month the work was done.
18 Alò, yo te antre kote Wa Ézéchias la, e yo te di: “Nou fin netwaye tout kay SENYÈ a, lotèl ofrann brile a avèk tout zouti li yo ak tab pen konsakre a avèk tout zouti li yo.
Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, We have made all the house of the Lord clean, as well as the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the table for the holy bread, with all its vessels.
19 Anplis, tout zouti ke Wa Achaz te abandone pandan règn enfidèl li a, nou te fin prepare e konsakre yo. Epi vwala, yo la devan lotèl SENYÈ a.”
And all the vessels which were turned out by King Ahaz in his sin while he was king, we have put in order and made holy, and now they are in their places before the altar of the Lord.
20 Konsa, Wa Ézéchias te leve bonè. Li te rasanble chèf lavil yo, e te monte vè lakay SENYÈ a.
Then Hezekiah the king got up early, and got together the great men of the town, and went up to the house of the Lord.
21 Yo te mennen sèt towo, sèt belye, sèt jèn mouton ak sèt mal kabrit kòm ofrann peche pou wayòm nan, pou sanktyè a ak pou Juda. Epi li te kòmande prèt yo, fis a Aaron yo, pou ofri yo sou lotèl SENYÈ a.
And they took with them seven oxen and seven male sheep and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the holy house and for Judah. And he gave orders to the sons of Aaron, the priests, that these were to be offered on the altar of the Lord.
22 Konsa, yo te touye towo yo. Prèt yo te pran san an e te aspèje li sou lotèl la. Anplis, yo te touye belye yo, e te aspèje san an sou lotèl la. Yo te touye, osi, jèn mouton yo e te aspèje san an sou lotèl la.
So they put the oxen to death and their blood was given to the priests to be drained out against the altar; then they put the male sheep to death, draining out their blood against the altar, and they put the lambs to death, draining out their blood against the altar.
23 Alò, yo te mennen mal kabrit yo pou ofrann peche devan wa a avèk asanble a, e yo te poze men sou yo.
Then they took the he-goats for the sin-offering, placing them before the king and the meeting of the people, and they put their hands on them:
24 Prèt yo te touye yo, e te lave lotèl la avèk san yo pou fè ekspiyasyon pou tout Israël, paske wa a te kòmande ofrann brile avèk ofrann peche pou tout Israël.
And the priests put them to death, and made a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to take away the sin of all Israel: for the king gave orders that the burned offering and the sin-offering were for all Israel.
25 Apre, li te estasyone Levit yo lakay SENYÈ a avèk senbal yo, avèk ap e avèk linstriman kòd yo, selon kòmand David la avèk Gad, konseye wa a, ak Nathan, pwofèt la; paske kòmand lan te sòti nan SENYÈ a pa pwofèt li yo.
Then he put the Levites in their places in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments of music as ordered by David and Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the order was the Lord's, given by his prophets.
26 Levit yo te kanpe avèk enstriman mizik a David yo, prèt yo avèk twonpèt yo.
So the Levites took their places with David's instruments, and the priests with their horns.
27 Ézéchias te bay lòd pou fè ofrann brile sou lotèl la. Lè ofrann brile yo te kòmanse, chan SENYÈ a te kòmanse tou avèk twonpèt yo, avèk enstriman a David yo, wa Israël la.
And Hezekiah gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all the instruments of David, king of Israel.
28 Pandan tout asanble a t ap fè adorasyon, chantè yo osi t ap chante e twonpèt yo t ap sone; tout sa te kontinye jiskaske ofrann brile a te fini.
And all the people gave worship, to the sound of songs and the blowing of horns; and this went on till the burned offering was ended.
29 Alò, nan fen tout ofrann brile yo, wa a avèk tout moun ki te prezan avèk li yo te bese ba pou te fè adorasyon.
And at the end of the offering, the king and all who were present with him gave worship with bent heads.
30 Anplis, Wa Ézéchias avèk ofisye yo te kòmande Levit yo pou chante lwanj a SENYÈ a avèk pawòl a David yo, avèk Asaph, konseye a. Konsa, yo te chante lwanj avèk jwa e te bese ba pou te fè adorasyon.
Then King Hezekiah and the captains gave orders to the Levites to give praise to God in the words of David and Asaph the seer. And they made songs of praise with joy, and with bent heads gave worship.
31 Epi Ézéchias te di: “Koulye a, akoz nou te konsakre nou menm a SENYÈ a, vin pre pou pote sakrifis avèk ofrann remèsiman lakay SENYÈ a.” Epi asanble a te pote sakrifis yo avèk ofrann remèsiman yo. Tout moun ki te vle, yo te pote ofrann brile.
Then Hezekiah made answer and said, Now that you have given yourselves to the Lord, come near and take offerings and praise-offerings into the house of the Lord. So all the people took in offerings and praise-offerings: and those whose hearts were moved, took in burned offerings.
32 Kantite a ofrann brile ke asanble a te pote yo te swasann-dis towo, san belye ak de-san jèn mouton. Tout sila yo te pou fè yon ofrann brile a SENYÈ a.
The number of burned offerings which the people took in was seventy oxen, a hundred male sheep, and two hundred lambs: all these were for burned offerings to the Lord.
33 Bagay konsakre yo te sis-san towo ak twa-mil mouton.
And the holy things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34 Men prèt yo pa t ase e pou sa, yo pa t kapab kòche tout ofrann brile yo. Konsa, frè yo nan Levit yo te ede yo jiskaske travay la te fini, e jiskaske lòt prèt yo te fin konsakre yo menm. Paske Levit yo te pi dedye pou konsakre yo menm pase prèt yo.
There were not enough priests for the work of cutting up all the burned offerings; so their brothers the Levites gave them help till the work was done and the priests had made themselves holy: for the Levites were more upright in heart to make themselves holy than the priests.
35 Te gen osi anpil ofrann brile avèk grès a ofrann lapè yo, avèk ofrann bwason pou ofrann brile yo. Konsa, sèvis lakay SENYÈ a te vin etabli ankò.
And there was a great amount of burned offerings, with the fat of the peace-offerings and the drink offerings for every burned offering. So the work of the Lord's house was put in order.
36 Epi Ézéchias avèk tout pèp la te rejwi sou sa ke Bondye te prepare pou pèp la, akoz bagay la te rive sibitman.
And Hezekiah and all the people were full of joy, because God had made the people ready: for the thing was done suddenly.
