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.

And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.

2 Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a selon tout sa ke papa zansèt li a, David te fè.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that 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.

And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.

4 Li te mennen prèt yo avèk Levit yo, e te rasanble yo nan plas sou lès la.

And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them 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, Hear, ye Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.

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 revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.

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.

And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole-burnt-offerings in the holy [place] to the God of Israel.

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 the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

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.

And, behold, your fathers have been smitten with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.

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.

Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath 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.”

And now be not wanting [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense 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 rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.

13 epi soti nan fis a Élitsaphan yo, Schimri avèk Jeïel, fis a Asapah yo, Zacharie avèk Matthania;

And of the sons of Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:

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 Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.

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 gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.

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 entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.

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.

And [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].

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.

And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole-burnt-offering, and its vessels, and the table of shew-bread, and 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 king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are 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.

And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, 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 he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to 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.

And they slew the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they slew the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they slew the lambs, and poured the blood round 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.

And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon 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 slew them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole-burnt-offering, and the sin-offering [are] 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.

And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.

26 Levit yo te kanpe avèk enstriman mizik a David yo, prèt yo avèk twonpèt yo.

And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

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 Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole-burnt-offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole-burnt-offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] 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 congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole-burnt-sacrifice had been completely offered.

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 when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.

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.

And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.

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 Ezekias answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole-burnt-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.

And the number of the whole-burnt-offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.

33 Bagay konsakre yo te sis-san towo ak twa-mil mouton.

And the consecrated calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.

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.

But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole-burnt-offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [themselves] 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 the whole-burnt-offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole-burnt-sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.

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 Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
