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 [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Boskath,

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 does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in all the way of his father David, and has not turned aside [to] the right or 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 comes to pass, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king has sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of YHWH, 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, and he completes the silver that is brought into the house of YHWH, that the keepers of the threshold have gathered from 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 they give it into the hand of those doing the work, the overseers, in the house of YHWH, and they give it to those doing the work, that [are] in the house of YHWH, to strengthen the breach 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.

to craftsmen, and to builders, and [to repairers of] the wall, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house;

7 Sèlman, nou p ap fè kontabilite pou lajan ki livre nan men yo, paske yo aji an bòn fwa.”

only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for they are dealing in faithfulness.”

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 says to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found [the] Scroll of the Law in the house of YHWH”; and Hilkiah gives the scroll to Shaphan, and he reads 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 comes to the king, and brings the king back word, and says, “Your servants have poured out the silver that has been found in the house, and give it into the hand of those doing the work, the inspectors, in the house of YHWH.”

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 declares to the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given a scroll to me”; and Shaphan reads it before the king.

11 Lè wa a te tande pawòl a liv lalwa a, li te chire rad li.

And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the Scroll of the Law, that he tears his garments,

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 commands Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah servant of the king, 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, seek YHWH for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found, for great [is] the fury of YHWH that is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to all that is written for 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.

And Hilkiah the priest goes, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, to Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second [quarter], and they speak to her.

15 Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Pale nonm ki te voye ou kote mwen an,

And she says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Say to the man who has 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 said YHWH: Behold, I am bringing in calamity to this place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the scroll that the king of Judah has 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 that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath has been kindled against this place, and it is not 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:

And to the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek YHWH, thus you say to him, Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: The words that you have 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 your heart [is] tender, and you are humbled because of YHWH, in your hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and you tear your garments and weep before Me—I also have heard—a declaration of YHWH—

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.

therefore, behold, I am gathering you to your fathers, and you have been gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes do not look on any of the calamity that I am bringing in on this place”; and they bring the king back word.
