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-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
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.
He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in all the way of David his father, and did not turn 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:
It happened 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 Jehovah, 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 melt down the silver which is brought into the house of Jehovah, which the keepers of the threshold 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;
Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of Jehovah, 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.
to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut 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.”
However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for 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.
Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the scroll of the law in the house of Jehovah." Hilkiah delivered 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.”
Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, "Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Jehovah."
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.
Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has delivered a scroll to me." Shaphan read it before the king.
11 Lè wa a te tande pawòl a liv lalwa a, li te chire rad li.
It happened, when the king had heard the words of the scroll of the law, that he tore 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:
The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, 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 inquire of Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to 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 Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
15 Li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Pale nonm ki te voye ou kote mwen an,
She said to them, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who 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 says Jehovah, 'Look, I will bring disaster on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the scroll which 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 they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it 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, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus you shall tell him, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which 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 was tender, and you humbled yourself before Jehovah, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,' says Jehovah.
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 look, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the disaster which I will bring on this place.'"'" They brought back this message to the king.
