2 Istwa 31
1 Alò, lè tout sa te fini, tout Israël ki te prezan te sòti antre nan vil Juda yo. Yo te kraze pilye Asherim yo an mòso, yo te koupe poto Asherim yo, e te rale fè desann wo plas yo avèk lotèl yo pami tout Juda avèk Benjamin e anplis, nan Éphraïm avèk Manassé, jiskaske yo te detwi yo tout. Epi tout fis Israël yo te retounen nan vil pa yo, yo chak nan posesyon pa yo.
And when all these things were finished, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda went out, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the groves, and tore down the high places and the altars out of all Judea and Benjamin, also of Ephraim and Manasse, till they made an end: and all Israel returned, every one to his inheritance, and to their cities.
2 Konsa, Ézéchias te apwente divizyon a prèt yo ak Levit yo pa divizyon pa yo, yo chak selon sèvis pa yo, prèt yo avèk Levit yo pou ofrann brile avèk ofrann lapè yo, pou fè sèvis e bay remèsiman avèk lwanj nan pòtay kan SENYÈ a.
And Ezekias appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, and the courses of each one according to his ministry, to the priests and to the Levites, for the whole burnt offering, and for the peace-offering, and to praise, and to give thanks, and to minister in the gates, [and] in the courts of the house of the Lord.
3 Li te etabli osi pòsyon wa a nan byen pa li pou ofrann brile yo, pou ofrann maten avèk aswè a, ofrann brile pou Saba yo, pou nouvèl lin yo e pou fèt etabli yo, jan sa ekri nan lalwa SENYÈ a.
And the king's proportion out of his substance [was appointed] for the whole burnt offerings, the morning and the evening one, and the whole burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the feasts that were ordered in the law of the Lord.
4 Anplis, li te kòmande moun ki te rete Jérusalem yo pou bay pòsyon ki te dwa a prèt yo avèk Levit yo, pou yo ta kapab dedye pwòp tèt yo a lalwa SENYÈ a.
And they told the people who lived in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be strong in the ministry of the house of the Lord.
5 Depi lòd la te fin gaye, fis Israël yo te mete disponib an abondans, premye fwi nan sereyal yo, diven nèf, lwil, siwo myèl ak tout pwodwi chan an; epi yo te pote an abondans dim nan de tout bagay.
And as he gave the command, Israel brought abundantly first fruits of corn, and wine, and oil, and honey, and every fruit of the field: and the children of Israel and Juda brought tithes of everything abundantly.
6 Fis a Israël avèk Juda ki te rete lavil Juda yo, anplis, te pote fè antre dim nan bèf avèk mouton yo, e dim nan don sen ki te konsakre a SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, e te plase yo nan gwo pil yo.
And they that lived in the cities of Juda themselves also brought tithes of calves and sheep, and tithes of goats, and consecrated them to the Lord their God, and they brought them and laid them in heaps.
7 Nan twazyèm mwa a, yo te kòmanse fè pil yo e te fin fè yo nan setyèm mwa a.
In the third month the heaps began to be piled, and in the seventh month they were finished.
8 Lè Ézéchias avèk chèf yo te vin wè gwo pil yo, yo te beni SENYÈ a avèk pèp Israël Li a.
And Ezekias and the princes came and saw the heaps, and blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 Epi Ézéchias te kesyone prèt yo avèk Levit yo sou gwo pil yo.
Then Ezekias enquired of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 Azaria, chèf prèt lakay Tsadok la te di li: “Depi don yo te kòmanse antre lakay SENYÈ a, nou te gen kont pou nou manje avèk anpil ki te rete, paske SENYÈ a te beni pèp Li a, e gran kantite sila a rete toujou.”
And Azarias the priest, the chief over the house of Sadoc, spoke to him, and said, From the time that the first fruits began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have eaten and drunk, and left even abundantly; for the Lord has blessed his people, and we have left to this amount.
11 Epi Ézéchias te kòmande yo pou prepare chanm lakay SENYÈ a e yo te prepare yo.
And Ezekias told them yet farther to prepare chambers for the house of the Lord; and they prepared [them],
12 Yo te byen fidèl nan pote dim avèk ofrann avèk bagay konsakre yo. Epi Conania, Levit la, te ofisye an chaj sou yo, e frè l, Schimeï te dezyèm nan.
and they brought there the first fruits and the tithes faithfully: and Chonenias the Levite was superintendent over them, and Semei his brother was next.
13 Jehiel, Azazia, Nachath, Asaël, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Éliel, Jismakia, Machath avèk Benaja te anplwaye anba direksyon Conania avèk frè l, Schimeï, selon chwa Wa Ézéchias yo, e Azaria te ofisye prensipal lakay Bondye a.
and Jeiel, and Ozias, and Naeth, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Samachia, and Maath, and Banaias, and his sons, were appointed by Chonenias and Semei his brother, as Ezekias the king, and Azarias who was over the house of the Lord commanded.
14 Koré, fis a Jimna a, Levit la, gadyen pòtay lès la, te chèf sou ofrann bòn volonte a Bondye yo, pou fè distribisyon don pou SENYÈ a avèk bagay ki sen pase tout lòt bagay yo.
And Core, the [son] of Jemna the Levite, the porter eastward, [was] over the gifts, to distribute the first fruits of the Lord, and the most holy things,
15 Anba otorite li, te gen Éden, Minjamin, Josué, Schemaeja, Amaria ak Schecania, nan vil prèt yo pou separe, fidèlman, bay frè pa yo pa divizyon yo, piti kon gran,
by the hand of Odom, and Benjamin, and Jesus, and Semei, and Amarias, and Sechonias, by the hand of the priests faithfully, to give to their brethren according to the courses, as well to great as small;
16 anplis de sa yo ki te sou chif zansèt yo, pou gason soti nan laj trantan oswa plis yo—tout moun ki te antre lakay SENYÈ a kòm obligasyon chak jou yo—pou travay nan devwa yo selon divizyon yo;
besides the increase of males from three years old and upward, to every one entering into the house of the Lord, [a portion] according to a daily rate, for service in the daily courses of their order.
17 ansanm ak prèt ki te anrejistre pa zansèt yo selon lakay papa zansèt pa yo, e Levit yo soti nan laj a ventan oswa plis, selon devwa yo ak divizyon yo.
This [is] the distribution of the priests according to the houses of their families; and the Levites in their daily courses from twenty years old and upward [were] in [their] order,
18 Anrejistreman pa zansèt yo te kontwole tout timoun yo, madanm yo, fis yo ak fi yo, pou tout asanble a, paske yo te konsakre yo menm, fidèlman, nan sentete.
to assign stations for all the increase of their sons and their daughters, for the whole number: for they faithfully sanctified the holy place.
19 Anplis, pou fis a Aaron yo, prèt yo, ki te nan teren patiraj lavil yo, oswa nan chak vil menm, te gen mesye ki te dezinye pa non pou fè distribisyon pòsyon a chak gason pami prèt yo e chak ki te anrejistre pa zansèt li yo pami Levit yo.
As for the sons of Aaron that executed the priests' office, —even those from their cities the men in each several city who were named expressly, —[were appointed] to give a portion to every male amongst the priests, and to every one reckoned amongst the Levites.
20 Konsa, Ézéchias te fè patou nan tout Juda; epi li te fè sa ki te bon e dwat devan SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
And Ezekias did so through all Juda, and did that which was good and right before the Lord his God.
21 Tout èv ke li te kòmanse fè nan sèvis lakay Bondye a, nan lalwa avèk kòmandman an, nan chache Bondye li a, li te fè yo avèk tout kè li, e li te byen reyisi.
And in every work which he began in service in the house of the Lord, and in the law, and in the ordinances, he sought his God with all his soul, and wrought, and prospered.
