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.
Now Ezechias began to reign, when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abia, the 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 pleasing in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father 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 and month of his reign 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 the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the east street.
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 he said to them: Hear me, ye Levites, and be sanctified, purify the house of the Lord the God of your fathers, and take away all filth out of the sanctuary.
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.
Our fathers have sinned and done evil in the sight of the Lord God, forsaking him: they have turned away their faces from the tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backs.
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.
They have shut up the doors that were in tile porch, and put out the lamps. and have not burnt incense, nor offered holocausts in the sanctuary of 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.
Therefore the wrath of the Lord hath been stirred up against Juda and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, and to destruction, and to be hissed at, as you 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.
Behold, our fathers are fallen by the sword, our sons, and our daughters, and wives are led away captives for this wickedness.
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 therefore I have a mind that we make a covenant with the Lord the God of Israel, and he will turn away the wrath of his indignation 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, be not negligent: the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, and to minister to him, and to worship him, and to burn 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 arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Cis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Jalaleel. And of the sons of Gerson, Joah the son of Zemma, 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 Elisaphan, Samri, and Jahiel. Also of the sons of Asaph, Zacharias, and Mathanias.
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, Jahiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun, Semeias, 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 together their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in according to the commandment of the king, and the precept of the Lord, to purify the house of God.
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 temple of the Lord to sanctify it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found within to the entrance of the house of the Lord, and the Levites took it away, and carried it out abroad to the torrent Cedron.
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 they began to cleanse on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the same month they came into the porch of the temple of the Lord, and they purified the temple in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the same month they finished what they had begun.
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 is to king Ezechias, and said to him: We have sanctified all the house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition 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 furniture of the temple, which king Achaz in his reign had defiled, after his transgression; and behold they are all set forth 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 Ezechias rising early, assembled all the rulers of the city, and went up into 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 offered together seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats for sin, for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, for Juda: and he spoke to the priests the sons of Aaron, to offer them upon 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.
Therefore they killed the bullocks, and the priests took the blood, and poured it upon the altar; they killed also the rams, and their blood they poured also upon the altar, and they killed the lambs, and poured the blood upon 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 he goats for sin before the king, and the whole multitude, and they laid their hand 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 immolated them, and sprinkled their blood before the altar for an expiation of all Israel: for the king had commanded that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made 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 set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps according to the regulation of David the king, and of Gad the seer, and of Nathan the prophet: for it was the commandment of the Lord by the hand of his 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 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 Ezechias commanded that they should offer holocausts upon the altar: and when the holocausts were offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound with trumpets, and divers instruments which David the king of Israel had prepared.
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 multitude adored, and the singers, and the trumpeters, were in their office till the holocaust was finished.
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 the oblation was ended, the king, and all that were with him bowed down and adored.
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 Ezechias and the princes commanded the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and Asaph the seer: and they praised him with great joy, and bowing the knee adored.
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.
And Ezechias added, and said: You have filled your hands to the Lord, come and offer victims, and praises in the house of the Lord. And all the multitude offered victims, and praises, and holocausts with a devout mind.
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 holocausts which the multitude offered, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs.
33 Bagay konsakre yo te sis-san towo ak twa-mil mouton.
And they consecrated to the Lord 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.
But the priests were few, and were not enough to flay the holocausts: wherefore the Levites their brethren helped them, till the work was ended, and priests were sanctified, for the Levites are sanctified with an easier rite 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.
So there were many holocausts, and the fat of peace offerings, and the libations of holocausts: and the service of the house of the Lord was completed.
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 Ezechias, and all the people rejoiced because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished. For the resolution of doing this thing was taken suddenly.
