2 Istwa 35

1 Epi Josias te selebre fèt Pak a SENYÈ a Jérusalem. Yo te touye bèt pou Pak la sou katòzyèm jou nan premye mwa a.

And Josias kept a passover to the Lord his God; and sacrificed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

2 Li te plase prèt yo nan pozisyon pa yo e te ankouraje yo nan sèvis lakay SENYÈ a.

And he appointed the priests at their charges, and encouraged them for the services of the house of the Lord.

3 Anplis, li te di a Levit ki te enstwi tout Israël yo, e ki te sen a SENYÈ a: “Mete lach SENYÈ a nan kay ke Salomon, fis a David la, wa Israël la, te bati a. Li p ap ankò yon chaj sou zepòl nou. Alò, koulye a sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, avèk pèp Li a, Israël.

And he told the Levites that were able [to act] in all Israel, that they should consecrate themselves to the Lord: and they put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: and the king said, Ye must not carry anything on your shoulders: now then minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.

4 Prepare nou menm selon lakay papa zansèt nou yo nan divizyon nou yo selon ekriti a David la, wa Israël la e selon ekriti a fis li a, Salomon.

And prepare yourselves according to the houses of your families, and according to your daily courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and [the order] by the hand of his son Solomon.

5 Anplis, kanpe nan lye sen an selon divizyon lakay papa zansèt nou yo ak frè nou yo ak selon Levit yo, pa divizyon lakay papa zansèt nou yo.

And stand ye in the house according to the divisions of the houses of your families for your brethren the sons of the people; [so] also let there be for the Levites a division of the house of their family.

6 Alò, touye bèt Pak la, sanktifye nou e prepare pou frè nou yo pou fè selon pawòl SENYÈ a, selon Moïse.”

And kill ye the passover, and prepare [it] for your brethren, to do according to the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.

7 Josias te fè kontribisyon pou pèp la, tout sa ki te prezan, bann jenn mouton yo ak jenn kabrit yo, tout pou ofrann Pak la, an kantite trant-mil, plis twa-mil towo. Sila yo te sòti nan byen ki te pou wa a.

And Josias gave as an offering to the children of the people, sheep, and lambs, and kids of the young of the goats, all for the passover, [even for] all that were found, in number [amounting to] thirty thousand, and three thousand calves, these [were] of the substance of the king.

8 Anplis, ofisye pa li yo te fè kontribisyon a yon ofrann bòn volonte a pèp la, prèt yo avèk Levit yo. Hilkija, Zacharie, avèk Jehiel, chèf lakay Bondye yo, te bay a prèt yo pou Pak la, yon ofrann de-mil-sis-san bèt ki sòti nan bann mouton yo, avèk twa-san towo.

And his princes gave an offering to the people, and to the priests, and to the Levites: and Chelcias and Zacharias and Jeiel the chief men gave to the priests of the house of God, they even gave for the passover sheep, and lambs, and kids, two thousand six hundred, and three hundred calves.

9 Conania osi avèk Schemaeja ak Nethaneel, frè li yo, Haschabia, Jeïel avèk Jozabad, ofisye Levit yo, te kontribye a Levit yo pou ofrann Pak la, senk-mil ki sòti nan bann mouton an ak senk-san towo.

And Chonenias, and Banaeas, and Samaeas, and Nathanael his brother, and Asabias, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, gave an offering to the Levites for the passover, of five thousand sheep and five hundred calves.

10 Pou sa, sèvis la te fin prepare e prèt yo te kanpe nan estasyon pa yo avèk Levit yo nan divizyon pa yo selon lòd a wa a.

And the service was duly ordered, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the command of the king.

11 Yo te touye bèt Pak yo e pandan prèt yo t ap aspèje san ki te resevwa soti nan men Levit yo, epi Levit yo t ap retire pwal yo.

And they slew the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites flayed [the victims].

12 Yo te retire ofrann brile yo pou yo ta kab bay yo selon divizyon lakay papa zansèt yo pou pèp la pou prezante a SENYÈ a jan sa ekri nan liv Moïse la. Yo te fè sa tou avèk towo yo.

And they prepared the whole-burnt-offering to give to them, according to the division by the houses of families, [even] to the sons of the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses.

13 Konsa, yo te boukannen bèt Pak yo, sou dife selon règleman an, yo te bouyi bagay sen yo nan bonm, chodyè ak nan kaswòl e yo te pote yo avèk vitès a tout pèp òdinè yo.

And thus [they did] till the morning. And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and boiled the holy [pieces] in copper vessels and caldrons, and [the feast] went on well, and they quickly served all the children of the people.

14 Apre yo te prepare pou yo menm e pou prèt yo, akoz prèt yo, fis a Aaron yo t ap ofri ofrann brile avèk grès jis rive nan aswè. Pou sa, Levit yo te prepare pou yo menm ak pou prèt yo, fis a Aaron yo.

And after they had prepared for themselves and for the priests, for the priests [were engaged] in offering the whole-burnt-offerings and the fat until night, then the Levites prepared for themselves, and for their brethren the sons of Aaron.

15 Anplis, chantè yo, fis a Asaph yo te nan estasyon pa yo selon kòmand a David la, Asaph, Héman, avèk Jeudthun, konseye a wa a; epi gadyen pòtay te nan chak pòtay. Yo pa t oblije sòti nan sèvis pa yo akoz frè yo te prepare pou yo.

And the sons of Asaph the psalm-singers [were] at their post according to the commands of David, and Asaph, and Aeman, and Idithom, the prophets of the king: also, the chiefs and the porters of the several gates; —it was not for them to stir from the service of the holy things, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

16 Konsa, tout sèvis SENYÈ a te prepare nan jou sa a pou selebre Pak la e pou ofri ofrann brile yo sou lotèl SENYÈ a selon kòmand a Wa Josias la.

So all the service of the Lord was duly ordered and prepared in that day, for keeping the passover, and offering the whole-burnt-sacrifices on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of king Josias.

17 Fis Israël ki te prezan yo te selebre Pak la nan lè sa a ak Fèt Pen San Ledven an pandan sèt jou.

And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

18 Pa t janm gen yon selebrasyon Pak tankou sa an Israël depi jou a Samuel yo, pwofèt la. Ni pa te gen okenn nan wa Israël yo ki te selebre yon Pak jan Josias te fè avèk prèt yo, Levit yo, tout Juda, Israël ki te prezan yo ak pèp Jérusalem nan.

And there was no passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, or any king of Israel: they kept not such a passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda and Israel that were present, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, kept to the Lord.

19 Se te nan uityèm ane règn Josias la, ke Pak sa a te selebre.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias this passover was kept, after all these things that Josias did in the house.

20 Apre tout sa, lè Josias te mete tanp lan an lòd, Néco, wa Egypte la, te vin monte pou fè lagè Carkemisch, sou rivyè Euphrate la, e Josias te parèt deyò pou rankontre li.

And Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates, and king Josias went to meet him.

21 Men Néco te voye mesaje yo kote li. Li te di: “Kisa nou gen pou fè youn avèk lòt, O Wa Juda a? Se pa kont ou ke m ap vini jodi a, men kont kay avèk sila mwen angaje nan lagè yo. Bondye te kòmande mwen fè prese. Byen avèti ke se Bondye ki avè m nan, pou Li pa detwi ou.”

And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Juda? I am not come to-day to war against thee; and God has told me to hasten: beware of the God that is with me, lest he destroy thee.

22 Sepandan, Josias te refize vire kite li, men li te kache idantite li pou l ta kab fè lagè avèk li. Li pa t koute pawòl a Néco ki soti nan bouch Bondye a, men li te vin fè lagè sou plèn Méguiddo a.

However, Josias turned not his face from him, but strengthened himself to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Nechao by the mouth of God, and he came to fight in the plain of Mageddo.

23 Achè yo te tire Wa Josias, e wa a te di a sèvitè li yo: “Ale avè m, sòti, paske mwen blese byen grav.”

And the archers shot at king Josias; and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am severely wounded.

24 Pou sa, sèvitè li yo te retire li nan cha a, e yo te pote li nan dezyèm cha li te genyen an. Yo te mennen li Jérusalem kote li te mouri, e li te antere nan tonm a papa zansèt li yo. Tout Juda avèk Jérusalem te kriye pou Josias.

And his servants lifted him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot which he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried with his fathers: and all Juda and Jerusalem lamented over Josias.

25 Konsa, Jérémie te chante yon lamantasyon pou Josias. Epi tout chantè yo, ni gason, ni fanm pale sou Josias nan lamantasyon yo jis rive jodi a. Konsa, yo te fè avèk yo yon òdonans an Israël. Men gade, yo ekri nan Lamantasyon yo.

And Jeremias mourned over Josias, and all the chief men and chief women uttered a lamentation over Josias until this day: and they made it an ordinance for Israel, and, behold, it is written in the lamentations.

26 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josias yo avèk zèv fidelite pa li yo, jan sa ki ekri nan lalwa SENYÈ yo,

And the rest of the acts of Josias, and his hope, are written in the law of the Lord.

27 ak zèv li yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, men vwala, yo ekri nan Liv Wa A Israël Avèk Juda yo.

And his acts, the first and the last, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
