2 Wa 12
1 Nan setyèm ane Jéhu, Joas te vin wa a, e li te renye karantan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Tsibja nan Beer-Schéba.
In the seventh year of Jehu became Jehoash king; and forty years did he reign in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Zibyah of Beer-sheba'.
2 Joas te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a pandan tout jou li yo depi Jehojada, prèt la, te enstwi li.
And Jehoash did what is right in the eyes of the Lord all his days, that Yehoyada' the priest instructed him.
3 Sèlman, wo plas yo pa t retire. Pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo.
Only the high-places were not removed: the people as yet sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places.
4 Alò, Joas te di a prèt yo: “Tout lajan de afè konsakre yo, ki pote antre nan kay SENYÈ a, nan lajan aktyèl la, lajan ranmase kòm devwa a chak mesye ak tout sa ke kè a yon moun ta pouse li pote lakay SENYÈ a;
And Jehoash said to the priests, all the money of the dedicated things that may be brought into the house of the Lord, the money of every one that passeth the numbering, the money any man is valued at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord,
5 kite prèt yo pran li pou yo menm, yo chak nan men a moun yo konnen. Epi yo va sèvi li pou repare donmaj nan kay la, nenpòt kote yon donmaj ta twouve.”
The priests shall take to themselves, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach may be found.
6 Men li vin rive ke nan venn-twazan pouvwa a Wa Joas la, prèt yo pa t ankò repare donmaj kay la.
But it happened, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
7 Alò, Joas te rele Jehojada, prèt la ak lòt prèt yo, e li te pale yo konsa: “Poukisa ou pa repare donmaj kay la? Alò, pou koz sa a, pa pran kòb ankò nan men moun pa w yo, men pito livre li pou repare donmaj kay la.”
Then called king Jehoash for Yehoyada' the priest, and the [other] priests, and he said unto them, Wherefore do ye not repair the breaches of the house? and now ye shall take no more money from your acquaintances, but ye shall give it up [at once] for the breaches of the house.
8 Pou sa, prèt yo te dakò pou yo pa t pran lajan nan men pèp la, ni fè reparasyon kay la.
And the priests consented neither to take any more money from the people, nor to repair the breaches of the house.
9 Men Jehojada, prèt la te pran yon kès sere e te pèse yon twou nan tèt bwat la e te mete li akote lotèl la sou kote dwat kote moun antre nan kay SENYÈ a. Epi prèt ki te veye kote papòt la, te mete ladann tout lajan ki te mennen nan kay SENYÈ a.
But Yehoyada' the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and he placed it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord: and the priests that kept watch at the threshold put therein all the money, that was brought into the house of the Lord.
10 Lè yo te wè ke anpil lajan te nan kès la, grefye a wa a avèk wo prèt la te vin monte, te mare li nan sak yo e te konte lajan ki te twouve nan kay SENYÈ a.
And it happened, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high-priest came up, and they put up in bags, after having counted, the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
11 Yo te bay lajan ki te peze a, mete nan men a sila ki t ap fè travay yo, ki te responsab nan kay SENYÈ a. Konsa, yo menm te vèse bay li kòm pèyman a chapant avèk ouvriye ki t ap fè zèv travay la nan kay SENYÈ a.
And they gave the money, after it was counted, into the hands of those who overlooked the workmen, that had been appointed as overseers of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters and to the builders, that wrought on the house of the Lord,
12 Anplis yo te bay a mason yo avèk sila ki t ap taye wòch yo, pou achte gwo bwa avèk wòch taye pou repare donmaj kay SENYÈ a ak tout sa ki te dispoze pou reparasyon li an.
And to the masons, and the hewers of stone, and for the purchase of timber and hewn stones to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 Men yo pa t fè pou lakay SENYÈ a, anyen an ajan, tas yo, etennwa yo, bòl yo, twonpèt yo, ni veso an lò yo, ni veso an ajan yo avèk lajan ki te mennen antre lakay SENYÈ a;
Nevertheless there were not made for the house of the Lord bowls of silver, knives, basins, trumpets, all kinds of vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, from the money that was brought into the house of the Lord;
14 paske yo te bay lajan sa a a sila ki te fè travay yo, e avèk li yo te repare lakay SENYÈ a.
But they gave it to those who overlooked the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
15 Anplis, yo pa t egzije yon kontwòl kontab nan men mesye ke yo te mete lajan pou peye sila ki te fè travay yo, paske yo te fidèl.
And they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give it to those who overlooked the workmen; for they acted in good faith.
16 Lajan ofrann koupab la avèk lajan ofrann peche a pa t antre lakay SENYÈ a. Li te pou prèt yo.
The money for trespass-offerings and the money for sin-offerings was not brought into the house of the Lord: it belonged to the priests.
17 Alò, Hazaël, wa Syrie a, te monte goumen kont Gath e te kaptire li. Konsa, Hazaël te mete figi li vè Jérusalem.
At that time Chazael the king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and captured it: and Chazael directed his face to go up against Jerusalem.
18 Joas, wa Juda a, te pran tout bagay sen ke Josaphat, Joram, ak Achazia, zansèt li yo te konsakre yo ak afè sen pa li yo ak tout lò ki te twouve pami trezò lakay SENYÈ a e li te voye yo bay wa Hazaël, wa Syrie a. Epi Hazaël te kite Jérusalem.
Then took Jehoash the king of Judah all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Achazyahu, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and sent it to Chazael the king of Syria: and he withdrew from Jerusalem.
19 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Joas yo avèk tout sa li te fè, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda yo?
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
20 Sèvitè li yo te leve fè yon konplo e te frape Joas lakay Millo a pandan li t ap desann kite Silla.
And his servants arose, and formed a conspiracy, and smote Joash in Beth-millo, which [lieth on the road] that goeth down to Silla.
21 Paske Jozabad, fis a Shomer a, avèk Yehozabad, fis a Schimeath a, sèvitè li yo, te frape li e li te mouri. Yo te antere li avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la e Amatsia, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
And Yozachar the son of Shim'ath, and Yehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amazyah his son became king in his stead.
