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.
Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem. They killed 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.
He set the priests in their offices and encouraged them in the service of the LORD’s house.
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.
He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD, “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. It will no longer be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD 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.
Prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of 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.
Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites.
6 Alò, touye bèt Pak la, sanktifye nou e prepare pou frè nou yo pou fè selon pawòl SENYÈ a, selon Moïse.”
Kill the Passover lamb, sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the LORD’s word by 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.
Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls. These were of the king’s substance.
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.
His princes gave a free will offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the rulers of God’s house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle.
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.
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock and five hundred head of cattle.
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.
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king’s commandment.
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.
They killed the Passover lambs, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from their hands, and the Levites skinned them.
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.
They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle.
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.
They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance. They boiled the holy offerings in pots, in cauldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to 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.
Afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night. Therefore the Levites 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, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate. They didn’t need to depart from their service, because their brothers 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 prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the LORD’s altar, 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.
The children of Israel who 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.
There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, nor did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept—with the priests, the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 Se te nan uityèm ane règn Josias la, ke Pak sa a te selebre.
This Passover was kept in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah.
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 temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out 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 ambassadors to him, saying, “What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you today, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you.”
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.
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn’t listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and 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.”
The archers shot at King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, “Take me away, because I am seriously 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 out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for 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.
Jeremiah lamented for Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel. Behold, they are 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,
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the LORD’s law,
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, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
