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 maketh in Jerusalem a passover to Jehovah, and they slaughter the passover-offering 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 stationeth the priests over their charges, and strengtheneth them for the service of the house of Jehovah,

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 saith to the Levites — who are teaching all Israel — who are sanctified to Jehovah, 'Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David king of Israel built; it is not to you a burden on the shoulder. 'Now, serve Jehovah 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, by the house of your fathers, according to your courses, by the writing of David king of Israel, and by 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.

and stand in the sanctuary, by the divisions of the house of the fathers of your brethren, sons of the people, and the portion of the house of a father 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.”

and slaughter the passover-offering and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah 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 lifteth up to the sons of the people a flock of lambs and young goats, the whole for passover-offerings, for every one who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and oxen three thousand: these [are] from 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 heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, to the priests have given for passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred, and oxen 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 Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, have lifted up to the Levites, for passover-offerings, five thousand, and oxen 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.

And the service is prepared, and the priests stand on their station, and the Levites on their courses, 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 slaughter the passover-offering, and the priests sprinkle out of their hand, and the Levites are striping;

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 turn aside the burnt-offering, to put them by the divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the people, to bring near to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses — and so to the oxen.

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 cook the passover with fire, according to the ordinance, and the sanctified things they have cooked in pots, and in kettles, and in pans — for 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 afterward they have prepared for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests, sons of Aaron, [are] in the offering up of the burnt-offering and of the fat till night; and the Levites have prepared for themselves, and for the priests, 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 singers, sons of Asaph, [are] on their station, according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun seer of the king, and the gate keepers [are] at gate and gate; it is not for them to turn aside from off their service, for their brethren the Levites have 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.

And all the service of Jehovah is prepared on that day, to keep the passover, and to cause to ascend burnt-offering upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the command 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.

And the sons of Israel who are found make the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened things, 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 hath not been made a passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, and none of the kings of Israel made such a passover as Josiah hath made, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who are found, 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 hath this passover been made.

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 hath prepared the house, come up hath Necho king of Egypt, to fight against Carchemish by Phrat, and Josiah goeth forth 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 sendeth unto him messengers, saying, 'What — to me and to thee, O king of Judah? not against thee do I come to-day, but unto the house with which I have war, and God said to haste me; cease for thee from God who [is] with me, and He doth not 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.

And Josiah hath not turned round his face from him, but to fight against him hath disguised himself, and hath not hearkened unto the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and cometh in 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 shoot at king Josiah, and the king saith to his servants, 'Remove me, for I have become very sick.'

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 remove him from the chariot, and cause him to ride on the second chariot that he hath, and cause him to go to Jerusalem, and he dieth, and is buried in the graves of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning 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.

and Jeremiah lamenteth for Josiah, and all the singers and the songstresses speak in their lamentations of Josiah unto this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and lo, they are written beside 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 matters of Josiah, and his kind acts, according as it is written in the law of Jehovah,

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 matters, the first and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
