2 Wa 11
1 Lè Athalie, manman Achazia te wè ke fis li a te mouri, li te leve detwi tout pitit a fanmi wayal yo.
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs.
2 Men Yehoshéba, fi a Wa Joram nan, sè Achazia a, te pran Joas, fis a Achazia a e li te rachte li pami fis a wa ki t ap mete a lanmò yo, e li te plase li avèk fanm nouris pa li nan chanm dòmi an. Konsa, yo te kache li soti Athalie pou li pa t mete a lanmò.
But Jehosheba daughter of King Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah, and he was not killed.
3 Konsa, li te kache avèk li pandan sizan lakay SENYÈ a, pandan Athalie t ap renye sou peyi a.
And Joash remained hidden with his nurse in the house of the LORD for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
4 Alò, nan setyèm ane a, Joïada te voye mennen kapitèn a santèn yo, a Karyen yo ak nan gad yo. Li te mennen yo kote li lakay SENYÈ a, e li te montre yo fis a wa a.
Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards, and had them brought into the house of the LORD. There he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the king’s son
5 Li te kòmande yo e te di: “Men bagay ke ou oblije fè: yon tyè nan nou, ki vin antre nan Saba a, veye sou lakay wa a;
and commanded them, “This is what you are to do: A third of you who come on duty on the Sabbath shall guard the royal palace,
6 yon tyè tou, nan Pòtay ki rele Sur a, ak yon tyè nan pòtay dèyè gad yo, ki va veye sou kay la kòm defans.
a third shall be at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the guards. You are to take turns guarding the temple—
7 De pati ladann nan, tout moun ki sòti nan Saba a, va osi veye sou lakay SENYÈ a pou wa a.
the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the king.
8 Epi nou va antoure wa a, chak moun avèk zam li nan men l; epi nenpòt moun ki antre nan ran pa nou, yo va mete a lanmò. Epi rete avèk wa a lè l sòti ak lè l lantre.”
You must surround the king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the king wherever he goes.”
9 Konsa, kapitèn a santèn yo te fè selon tout sa ke Jehojada, prèt la, te kòmande li. Yo chak nan yo te pran mesye pa li yo ki te genyen pou antre nan Saba a, avèk sila ki te gen pou sòti nan Saba yo pou te rive kote Jehojada, prèt la.
So the commanders of hundreds did everything that Jehoiada the priest had ordered. Each of them took his men—those coming on duty on the Sabbath and those going off duty—and came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 Prèt la te bay kapitèn a santèn yo lans avèk boukliye, sòti lakay SENYÈ a ki te konn pou Wa David la.
Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of King David from the house of the LORD.
11 Gad yo te kanpe chak avèk zam pa yo nan men yo, soti sou kote dwat kay la, jis rive sou kote goch kay la, akote lotèl la e akote kay la, yo te antoure wa a.
And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
12 Epi li te mennen fè parèt deyò fis a wa a e te mete kouwòn nan sou tèt li, avèk temwen an; epi yo te fè li wa e te onksyone li. Yo te bat men yo e te di: “Viv wa a!”
Then Jehoiada brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and declared, “Long live the king!”
13 Lè Athalie te tande bwi a gad la ak pèp la, li te vin kote moun yo lakay SENYÈ a.
When Athaliah heard the noise from the guards and the people, she went out to the people in the house of the LORD.
14 Li te gade, e men vwala, wa a te kanpe akote pilye a, selon koutim nan, avèk kapitèn yo ak twonpèt yo akote wa a. Epi tout moun peyi a t ap rejwi e sone twonpèt yo. Athalie te chire rad li e te kriye: “Trayizon, Trayizon!”
And she looked out and saw the king standing by the pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”
15 Jehojada, prèt la, te kòmande kapitèn a santèn ki te chwazi sou lame a. Li te di yo: “Mennen li deyò antre nan ran sòlda yo e nenpòt moun ki swiv li, mete li a lanmò avèk nepe.” Paske prèt la te di: “Pa kite li mete a lanmò nan kay SENYÈ a.”
And Jehoiada the priest ordered the commanders of hundreds in charge of the army, “Bring her out between the ranks, and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “She must not be put to death in the house of the LORD.”
16 Pou sa, yo te sezi li, lè li te rive kote antre cheval lakay wa yo, li te mete a lanmò la.
So they seized Athaliah as she reached the horses’ entrance to the palace grounds, and there she was put to death.
17 Epi Jehojada te fè yon akò antre SENYÈ a, wa a ak pèp la, pou yo ta devni pèp SENYÈ a, e osi antre pèp la avèk wa a.
Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people.
18 Tout pèp peyi a te ale kote kay Baal la, yo te chire li. Lotèl li ak imaj li yo, yo te kraze an mòso nèt, e yo te touye Matthan, prèt Baal la, devan lotèl yo. Prèt la te chwazi ofisye yo sou kay SENYÈ a.
So all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
19 Li te pran kapitèn a santèn yo avèk Karyen yo, avèk gad yo ak tout pèp peyi a. Konsa, yo te mennen wa a desann soti lakay SENYÈ a e yo te vini pa chemen pòtay gad yo rive lakay wa a. Epi li te chita sou twòn a wa yo.
He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then Joash took his seat on the royal throne,
20 Konsa, tout pèp peyi a te rejwi e vil la te vin kalm. Paske yo te mete Athalie a lanmò pa nepe a lakay wa a.
and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been put to the sword at the royal palace.
21 Joas te genyen laj sèt ane lè l te vin wa a.
Joash was seven years old when he became king.
