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.
And 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 from among the king’s sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber 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 Yhwh six years. And Athaliah did reign 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 the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of Yhwh, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Yhwh, and shewed 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 enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of 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.
And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
7 De pati ladann nan, tout moun ki sòti nan Saba a, va osi veye sou lakay SENYÈ a pou wa a.
And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of Yhwh 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 ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as 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 the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should 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 to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David’s spears and shields, that were in the temple of Yhwh.
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, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and 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!”
And he brought forth the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save 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 temple of Yhwh.
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 when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and 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.”
But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of Yhwh.
16 Pou sa, yo te sezi li, lè li te rive kote antre cheval lakay wa yo, li te mete a lanmò la.
And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into 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 Yhwh and the king and the people, that they should be the Yhwh’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 into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Yhwh.
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 rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Yhwh, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to 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.
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.
21 Joas te genyen laj sèt ane lè l te vin wa a.
Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
