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, began Jehoash to reign, and, forty years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Zibiah 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 that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days, —whereunto, Jehoiada 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.

save only, that, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in 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 unto the priests, —All the silver of the hallowed things, that is brought into the house of Yahweh—the silver of one who transgresseth, the silver of [their] persons by the estimate of, each one, —all the silver which it cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Yahweh,

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.”

let the priests take to them, every one from his acquaintance, —and let, them, repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever there may be found a breach.

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 came to pass, that, in the twenty-third 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.”

So King Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said unto them—Why are ye not repairing the breaches of the house? Now, therefore, do not take silver from your acquaintances, for, to [repair] the breaches of the house, ought ye to have given it?

8 Pou sa, prèt yo te dakò pou yo pa t pran lajan nan men pèp la, ni fè reparasyon kay la.

The priests therefore consented, not to take silver from the people, and not 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.

Then took Jehoiada a certain chest, and bored a hole in the door thereof, —and set it beside the altar, on the right as one entereth into the house of Yahweh, and the priests that kept the entrance-hall, used to put therein—all the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh.

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 came to pass, when they saw that there was much silver in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and brought together and counted the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh;

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.

then used they to give the silver that had been weighed out, into the hands of the doers of the work, who had oversight of the house of Yahweh, —and they brought it forth, to the carpenters, and to the builders, who were working upon the house of Yahweh;

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 to the hewers of stone, and to buy timber, and hewn stone, for repairing the breaches of the house of Yahweh, —and to every one that went out upon 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;

Howbeit there were not made for the house of Yahweh, bowls of silver, snuffers, dashing basins, trumpets, any vessel of gold, or any vessel of silver, —out of the silver that was brought into the house of Yahweh;

14 paske yo te bay lajan sa a a sila ki te fè travay yo, e avèk li yo te repare lakay SENYÈ a.

for, to the doers of the work, used they to give it; and so they repaired, therewith, the house of Yahweh.

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 used not to reckon with the men into whose hands they gave the silver, to give it to the doers of the work, because, with faithfulness, were, they, dealing.

16 Lajan ofrann koupab la avèk lajan ofrann peche a pa t antre lakay SENYÈ a. Li te pou prèt yo.

Silver for guilt-offerings and silver for sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh, —to the priests, they belonged.

17 Alò, Hazaël, wa Syrie a, te monte goumen kont Gath e te kaptire li. Konsa, Hazaël te mete figi li vè Jérusalem.

Then, came up Hazael, king of Syria, and fought against Gath, and captured it, —so Hazael set 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.

Therefore did Jehoash, king of Judah, take all the hallowed things which Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had hallowed, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, —and sent to Hazael king of Syria, so he went up from against 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?

Now, the rest of the story of Joash, and all that he did, are, they, not 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 made a conspiracy, and smote Joash, in the house of Millo which teeth 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.

Yea, Jozabar son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, that he died, and he was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Amaziah his son, reigned in his stead.
