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 Josiah kept, in Jerusalem, a passover unto Yahweh, —and they slaughtered the passover, on the fourteenth 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 set the priests over their charges, —and encouraged them unto the service of the house of Yahweh;

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 said to the Levites who gave instruction to all Israel as to the things which were hallowed unto Yahweh, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon son of David king of Israel did build, it is not yours as a burden on the shoulder, —Now, serve ye Yahweh your God, and 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 by your ancestral houses, according to your courses, —by the writing of David king of Israel, and by what hath been written by Solomon his son;

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 holy place, by the divisions of the ancestral house, for your brethren, the sons of the people, and the partitioning of an ancestral house, for the Levites.

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

So slaughter ye the passover, —and hallow yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Yahweh, 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 Josiah presented to the sons of the people—of flocks, young sheep and the young of the goats, the whole for the passover offerings, for all present, to the number of thirty thousand, and, of bullocks, three thousand, —these, out 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 rulers, willingly, to the people and to the priests and to the Levites, presented, —Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, chief rulers of the house of God, unto the priests, did give, for passover offerings, two thousand and six hundred, and, of bullocks, three hundred;

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, Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, presented to the Levites, for passover offerings, five thousand, and, of bullocks, five hundred.

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.

Thus was the service prepared, —and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the commandment 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.

So they slaughtered the passover, and the priests dashed [the blood received] at their hand, and the Levites were flaying [the offerings].

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.

Then they removed the ascending-sacrifice, that they might give them—by the divisions of each ancestral house—unto the sons of the people, to offer unto Yahweh, as it is written in the Book of Moses, —and, in like manner, with the bullocks.

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 they cooked the passover with fire, according to the regulation, —but, the hallowed things, cooked they in cauldrons and in pots and in bowls, and then took quickly, unto all the sons 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, afterwards, prepared they for themselves and for the priests, because, the priests, the sons of Aaron, had been engaged in offering up the ascending-sacrifice and the fat pieces, until night, —the Levites, therefore prepared for themselves, and for the priests, 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.

the singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the seer of the king, and, the doorkeepers, were at the several doors, —there was no need for them to remove from their service, 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.

Thus was all the service of Yahweh prepared on that day; to keep the passover, and to offer up the ascending-sacrifice, upon the altar of Yahweh, —according to the commandment of King Josiah.

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

So the sons of Israel who were present kept the passover at that time, —and the festival of unleavened cakes, 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 had not been kept, a passover like it, in Israel, since the days of Samuel the prophet, —yea, none of the kings of Israel, had kept such a passover as was kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

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

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, was kept this passover.

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.

After all this—when Josiah had prepared the house, Neco king of Egypt came up, -to fight against Carchemish, by Euphrates, and Josiah went forth against 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.”

But he sent unto him messengers, saying—What have I to do with thee, O king of Judah? not against thee, [have I come] this day, but against the house wherewith I have war, and, God, hath given word to speed me, —cease thou from [provoking] God who 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.

Howbeit Josiah turned not his face from him, for, to fight against him, he had disguised himself, and he hearkened not unto the words of Neco, from the mouth of God, —so he came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

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 Josiah, —and the king said unto his servants, Take me away, for I am sore 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.

So his servants took him away out of the war-chariot, and conveyed him in a second chariot which he had, and carried him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers, —and, all Judah and Jerusalem, were mourning over Josiah.

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 Jeremiah chanted a dirge over Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women in their dirges have spoken concerning Josiah, until this day, and they appointed them by statute for Israel, —and, there they are, written among the dirges.

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

But, the rest of the story of Josiah, and his lovingkindness, —according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh:

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.

even his story, first and last, there it is, written in the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
