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.

Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

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, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bed-chamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.

3 Konsa, li te kache avèk li pandan sizan lakay SENYÈ a, pandan Athalie t ap renye sou peyi a.

And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years; and Athaliah reigned over 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.

And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds, of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and 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 he commanded them, saying: 'This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, and that keep the watch of the king's house —

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.

now another third part was at the gate Sur, and another third part at the gate behind the guard — shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.

7 De pati ladann nan, tout moun ki sòti nan Saba a, va osi veye sou lakay SENYÈ a pou wa a.

And the other two parts of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about 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.”

And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain; and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when he cometh in.'

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.

And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath, 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.

And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spear and shields that had been king David's, which were in 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 guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.

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 he brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown and the insignia; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said: '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.

And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into 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, and, behold, the king stood on the platform, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried: '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 commanded the captains of hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them: 'Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword'; for the priest said: 'Let her not be slain 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 made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house; and there was she slain.

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.

And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also 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.

And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over 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.

And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

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.

So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they slew Athaliah with the sword at the king's house.

21 Joas te genyen laj sèt ane lè l te vin wa a.

Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
