2 Istwa 34

1 Josias te gen laj a uitan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye tran-te-yen nan Jérusalem.

Iosiah was eight yeere olde when hee began to reigne, and he reigned in Ierusalem one and thirtie yeere.

2 Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a. Li te mache nan chemen a David, papa zansèt pa li a e li pa t vire akote ni adwat ni agoch.

And he did vprightly in the sight of ye Lord, and walked in the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand nor to the left.

3 Paske nan uityèm ane règn pa li a, pandan li te toujou nan jenès li, li te kòmanse chache Bondye a papa zansèt li a, David. Epi nan douzyèm ane a, li te kòmanse pirifye Juda avèk Jérusalem sou afè a wo plas yo, Asherim nan, imaj taye yo ak imaj fonn yo.

And in the eight yeere of his reigne (when he was yet a childe) he began to seeke after the God of Dauid his father: and in the twelft yeere he began to purge Iudah, and Ierusalem from the hie places, and the groues, and the carued images, and molten images:

4 Yo te chire desann lotèl Baal yo nan prezans li, lotèl lansan ki te byen wo sou yo, li te koupe yo desann. Anplis, Asherim yo, imaj taye yo ak imaj fonn yo, li te kase yo an mòso, kraze yo fè poud e li te gaye l sou tonm a sila ki te fè sakrifis a yo menm yo.

And they brake downe in his sight the altars of Baalim, and hee caused to cut downe the images that were on hie vpon them: he brake also the groues, and the carued images, and the molten images, and stampt them to pouder, and strowed it vpon the graues of them that had sacrificed vnto them.

5 Li te brile zo a prèt Baal yo sou lotèl la, e li te pirifye Juda avèk Jérusalem.

Also he burnt the bones of the Priests vpon their altars, and purged Iudah and Ierusalem.

6 Nan vil a Manassé yo, Éphraïm, Siméon, jis rive Nephthali, nan mazi kraze yo,

And in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, euen vnto Naphtali, with their maules they brake all round about.

7 li te osi chire fè desann lotèl yo. Li te kraze Asherim avèk imaj taye yo jiskaske yo te fè poud, e te koupe desann lotèl lansan yo toupatou nan peyi Israël la. Anfen, li te retounen Jérusalem.

And when he had destroyed the altars and the groues, and had broken and stamped to pouder the images, and had cut downe all the idoles throughout all the land of Israel, hee returned to Ierusalem.

8 Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane règn li a, lè li te fin pirifye peyi a avèk kay la, li te voye Schaphan, fis a Atsalia a avèk Maaséja, yon ofisye lavil la ak Joach, fis a Joachaz la, grefye a, pou repare lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.

Then in the eightenth yere of his reigne, when hee had purged the lande and the Temple, he sent Shaphan the sonne of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the gouernour of the citie, and Ioah the sonne of Ioahaz the recorder, to repaire the house of the Lord his God.

9 Yo te vin kote Hilkaja, wo prèt la, e yo te livre li lajan ki te pote lakay Bondye a, ke Levit yo, gadyen pòtay yo, te kolekte soti Manassé, Éphraïm, de tout retay Israël yo, e soti nan tout Juda avèk Benjamin ak pèp Jérusalem nan.

And when they came to Hilkiah the hie Priest, they deliuered ye money that was brought into the house of God, which the Leuites that kept the doore, had gathered at the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and of all the residue of Israel, and of all Iudah and Beniamin, and of the inhabitantes of Ierusalem.

10 Yo te ba li nan men a ouvriye ki te sipèvize lakay SENYÈ a, epi ouvriye ki t ap travay lakay SENYÈ a te sèvi ak li pou restore e repare kay la.

And they put it in the hands of them that should doe the worke and had the ouersight in the house of the Lord: and they gaue it to the workemen that wrought in the house of ye Lord, to repaire and amend the house.

11 Yo menm, te remèt li a chapant avèk mason yo pou achte wòch taye avèk gwo bwa pou travès ak bwa mare pou kay ke wa nan Juda yo te kite detwi yo.

Euen to the workemen and to the builders gaue they it, to bye hewed stone and timber for couples and for beames of the houses, which the Kings of Iudah had destroyed.

12 Mesye yo te fè travay la avèk bòn fwa ak fòmann ki sou yo pou sipèvize yo. Yo te sipèrvize pa Jachath avèk Abidias, Levit yo nan fis a Merari yo, Zacharie avèk Meschallam nan fis a Keatit yo ak Levit yo, tout moun ki te gen gwo kapasite, ak lòt ki te fò nan jwe enstriman mizik yo.

And the men did the worke faithfully, and the ouerseers of them were Iahath and Obadiah the Leuites, of the children of Merari, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, of the children of the Kohathites to set it forward: and of the Leuites all that could skill of instruments of musike.

13 Anplis, yo te sou sila ki t ap pote chaj yo, e yo te sipèvize tout ouvriye soti de yon tach a yon lòt. Pami Levit yo te gen skrib, ofisye ak sipèvizè.

And they were ouer the bearers of burdens, and them that set forwarde all the workemen in euery worke: and of the Leuites were scribes, and officers and porters.

14 Lè yo t ap pote fè sòti lajan ki te antre lakay SENYÈ a, Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve liv lalwa SENYÈ a ki te bay pa Moïse la.

And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the Priest found the booke of the Lawe of the Lord giuen by the hand of Moses.

15 Hilkija te reponn e te di a Schaphan, sekretè a: “Mwen te twouve liv lalwa lakay SENYÈ a.” Epi Hilkija te bay liv la a Schaphan.

Therefore Hilkiah answered and sayde to Shaphan the chaceler, I haue found the booke of the Law in the house of the Lord: and Hilkiah gaue the booke to Shaphan.

16 Konsa, Schaphan te pote liv la kote wa a, e te bay yon rapò anplis a wa a. Li te di: “Tout sa ou te konfye a sèvitè ou yo, y ap fè l.

And Shaphan caried the booke to the King, and brought the King worde againe, saying, All that is committed to the hand of thy seruants, that do they.

17 Yo deja retire lajan yo te twouve lakay SENYÈ a, e te livre li nan men a sipèvizè yo ak ouvriye yo.”

For they haue gathered the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and haue deliuered it into the handes of the ouerseers, and to the handes of the workemen.

18 Anplis, Schaphan, sekretè a te di wa a, “Hilkija, prèt la, te ban mwen yon liv.” Epi Schaphan te li ladann nan, nan prezans a wa a.

Also Shaphan ye chanceler declared to the King, saying, Hilkiah the Priest hath giuen mee a booke, and Shaphan read it before the King.

19 Lè wa a te tande pawòl lalwa yo, li te chire rad li.

And when the King had heard the wordes of the Lawe, he tare his clothes.

20 Epi wa a te kòmande Hilkija, Achikam, fis a Schaphan nan, Abdon, fis Michée a, Schaphan, sekretè a ak Asaja, sèvitè a wa a e te di:

And the King commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, and Abdon the sonne of Micah, and Shaphan the chanceler, and Asaiah the Kings seruant, saying,

21 “Ale fè ankèt a SENYÈ a pou mwen e pou sila ki rete Israël avèk Juda yo, konsènan pawòl a liv ki te twouve a; paske byen gwo, se kòlè SENYÈ a ki vide sou nou akoz papa zansèt nou yo pa t obsève pawòl a SENYÈ a, pou fè selon tout sa ki ekri nan liv sila a.”

Goe and enquire of the Lord for me, and for the rest in Israel and Iudah, concerning the wordes of this booke that is founde: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is fallen vpon vs, because our fathers haue not kept the worde of the Lord, to doe after all that is written in this booke.

22 Konsa, Hilkija avèk sila ke wa a te pale yo te ale kote Hulda, pwofetès la, madanm a Schallum nan, fis a Thokehath la, fis a Hasra a, gadyen vètman yo, (alò, li te rete Jérusalem nan dezyèm katye); epi yo te pale avèk li konsa.

Then Hilkiah and they that the King had appoynted, went to Huldah the Prophetesse ye wife of Shallum, the sonne of Tokhath, the sonne of Hasrah keeper of the wardrobe (and she dwelt in Ierusalem within the colledge) and they communed hereof with her.

23 Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Di nonm ki te voye nou kote mwen an,

And shee answered them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Tell yee the man that sent you to me,

24 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Veye byen, Mwen ap voye malè sou plas sa a ak sou pèp li a, menm tout malediksyon ki ekri nan liv ke yo te li nan prezans a wa Juda a.

Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will bring euill vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitantes thereof, euen all the curses, that are written in the booke which they haue read before the King of Iudah:

25 Akoz yo te abandone Mwen, e te brile lansan a lòt dye yo, pou yo ta kapab pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk tout zèv a men yo; pou sa, kòlè Mwen va vin vide sou plas sa a e li p ap etenn.’”’

Because they haue forsaken me, and burnt incense vnto other gods, to anger mee with al the workes of their hands, therefore shall my wrath fall vpon this place, and shall not be quenched.

26 “Men pou wa Juda ki te voye nou fè ankèt devan SENYÈ a, konsa nou va pale a li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la selon pawòl ke ou te tande yo,

But to the King of Iudah, who sent you to enquire of the Lord, so shall ye say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The words which thou hast heard, shall come to passe.

27 akoz kè ou te mou e ou te imilye ou menm devan Bondye lè ou te tande pawòl Li yo kont plas sa a, e kont pèp li a, akoz ou te imilye ou menm devan Mwen, ou te chire vètman ou e ou te kriye devan M, Mwen anverite te tande ou’, deklare SENYÈ a.

But because thine heart did melt, and thou didest humble thy selfe before God, when thou heardest his wordes against this place and against the inhabitantes thereof, and humbledst thy selfe before mee and tarest thy clothes, and weptest before mee, I haue also heard it, sayth the Lord.

28 Tande byen, Mwen va ranmase ou a papa zansèt ou yo, e ou va ranmase a tonm ou an anpè, pou zye ou pa wè tout malè ke Mwen va pote sou plas sa a avèk pèp li a.” Yo te pote bay wa a mesaj sila a.

Beholde, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt bee put in thy graue in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the euill, which I will bring vpon this place, and vpon the inhabitants of the same. Thus they brought ye King word againe.

29 Epi wa a te voye rasanble tout ansyen a Juda avèk Jérusalem yo.

Then the King sent and gathered all the Elders of Iudah and Ierusalem.

30 Wa a te monte vè lakay SENYÈ a, e tout mesye Juda yo, pèp Jérusalem nan, prèt yo, Levit yo, e tout moun soti nan pi gran jis rive nan pi piti yo—epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl liv akò ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.

And the King went vp into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the Priests and the Leuites, and all the people from the greatest to the smallest, and hee read in their eares all the wordes of the booke of the couenant that was found in the house of the Lord.

31 Wa a te kanpe nan plas li a, e te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a pou mache nan chemen SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk temwayaj Li yo, avèk règleman Li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou reyisi fè tout pawòl a akò ki ekri nan liv sila yo.

And the King stood by his pillar, and made a couenant before the Lord, to walke after the Lord, and to keepe his commandements, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soule, and that he would accomplish the wordes of the couenant written in the same booke.

32 Anplis, li te fè tout moun ki te prezan Jérusalem avèk Benjamin yo kanpe avèk li. Konsa, pèp Jérusalem la te fè selon akò Bondye a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo a.

And he caused all that were found in Ierusalem, and Beniamin to stande to it: and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did according to the couenant of God, euen the God of their fathers.

33 Josias te retire tout abominasyon soti nan tout peyi ki te apatyen a fis Israël yo e te fè tout moun ki te prezan an Israël yo sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a. Pandan tout lavi li, yo pa t detounen nan swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.

So Iosiah tooke away al the abominations out of all the countreis that perteined to the children of Israel, and compelled all that were found in Israel, to serue the Lord their God: so all his dayes they turned not backe from the Lord God of their fathers.
