2 Wa 22
1 Josias te gen laj uitan lè l te vin wa a e li te renye tranteyen ane Jérusalem. Non manman li te Jedida, fi Adaja a nan Botskath.
JOSIAH was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
2 Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan tout chemen a zansèt papa li a, David, ni li pa t vire akote ni adwat, ni agoch.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane Wa Josias la, wa a te voye Schaphan, fis a Atsalia a, fis a Meschullam nan, skrib la, lakay SENYÈ a. Li te di:
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying,
4 “Monte kote Hilkija, wo prèt la, pou li kapab kontwole lajan ki antre lakay SENYÈ a, lajan ke gadyen pòtay yo te ranmase soti nan pèp la.
Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
5 Kite yo livre li nan men a ouvriye k ap dirije lakay SENYÈ a e kite yo bay li a ouvriye ki lakay SENYÈ a pou repare donmaj nan kay la;
And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of the house,
6 pou chapant yo, konstriktè yo avèk mason yo e pou achte gwo bwa avèk wòch taye pou fè reparasyon kay la.
Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
7 Sèlman, nou p ap fè kontabilite pou lajan ki livre nan men yo, paske yo aji an bòn fwa.”
Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
8 Alò, Hilkija, wo prèt la, te di a Schaphan, skrib la: “Mwen te twouve liv lalwa a lakay SENYÈ a.” Konsa, Hilkija te bay liv la a Schaphan ki te li li.
And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
9 Schaphan, skrib la, te rive kote wa a. Li te pote pawòl la kote wa a, e li te di: “Sèvitè ou yo te vide lajan ki te twouve nan kay la e yo te livre li nan men a ouvriye k ap dirije lakay SENYÈ a.”
And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord.
10 Anplis, Schaphan, skrib la, te pale wa a e te di: “Hilkija, prèt la, te ban mwen yon liv.” Epi Schaphan te li li nan prezans a wa a.
And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11 Lè wa a te tande pawòl a liv lalwa a, li te chire rad li.
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
12 Epi wa a te kòmande Hilkija, prèt la, Achikam fis a Schaphanb la, Acbor, fis a Michée a, a Schaphan, skrib la e a Asaja, sèvitè wa a:
And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king’s, saying,
13 “Ale mande a SENYÈ a pou mwen avèk pèp la ak tout Juda selon pawòl a liv sa a ki te twouve a. Paske gran se kòlè SENYÈ a ki brile kont nou, akoz zansèt papa nou yo pa t koute pawòl a liv sa a, pou fè selon tout sa ki ekri konsènan nou.”
Go ye, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
14 Pou sa, Hilkija, prèt la, Achikam, Acbor, Schaphan e Asaja te ale kote Hulda, pwofetès la, madanm a Schallum nan, fis a Thikva a, fis a Harhas la, ki te an chaj vètman yo. (Alò, li te rete Jérusalem nan Katye Second lan). Yo te pale avèk li.
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college; ) and they communed with her.
15 Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Pale nonm ki te voye ou kote mwen an,
And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
16 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen va pote malè sou plas sa a ak sou sila ki rete ladann yo, menm tout pawòl a liv sa a ke wa Juda te di yo.
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
17 Akoz yo te abandone Mwen e te brile lansan a lòt dye yo pou yo ta kab pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè avèk tout zèv men pa yo; pou sa, gran lakòlè Mwen va brile kont plas sa a, e li p ap etenn.”’
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
18 Men pou wa Juda a, ki te voye ou pou mande a SENYÈ a, konsa ou va pale ak li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ‘selon pawòl ke ou te tande yo:
But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
19 Akoz kè ou te vin mou e ou te imilye ou devan SENYÈ a lè ou te tande sa Mwen te pale kont plas sa a ak kont sila ki rete ladann yo, pou yo ta devni yon dezolasyon ak yon malediksyon, epi akoz ou te chire rad ou e te kriye devan Mwen, anverite, Mwen te tande ou,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.
20 Pou sa, byen gade, Mwen va ranmase ou a zansèt pa ou yo e ou va ranmase rive nan tonm pa ou a anpè. Zye ou p ap wè tout mal ke Mwen va mennen sou plas sa a.” Konsa, yo te mennen pote pawòl la bay wa a.
Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
