2 Wa 23
1 Alò wa a te voye rasanble vè li menm tout ansyen Juda ak Jérusalem yo.
The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 Wa a te monte kote kay SENYÈ a ak tout mesye Juda yo, tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem avèk li yo, prèt yo ak pwofèt yo ak tout pèp la, ni gran, ni piti; epi li te li nan zòrèy yo, tout pawòl a liv akò a ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
The king went up to the LORD’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the LORD’s house.
3 Wa a te kanpe akote pilye a pou te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a, pou mache apre SENYÈ a, pou kenbe kòmandman avèk temwayaj li yo avèk règleman li yo avèk tout kè li ak tout nanm li, pou akonpli pawòl akò a ki te ekri nan liv sa a. Epi tout pèp la te antre nan akò a.
The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to the covenant.
4 Konsa, wa a te kòmande Hilkija, wo prèt la e prèt a dezyèm lòd yo avèk gadyen pòtay yo pou mennen fè sòti deyò nan tanp SENYÈ a tout veso ki te fèt pou Baal yo, pou Astarté ak pou tout lame syèl la. Konsa, li te brile yo deyò Jérusalem nan chan Cédron an e li te pote sann yo jis rive Béthel.
The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of the LORD’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burnt them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
5 Li te mete deyò tout prèt zidòl ke wa Juda yo te chwazi pou brile lansan nan wo plas yo nan vil Juda yo ak nan andwa Jérusalem yo. Anplis, sila ki te brile lansan a Baal yo, a solèy la, lalin nan, avèk tout gwoup zetwal yo ak tout lame syèl yo.
He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burnt incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
6 Li te fè mete deyò Astarté la soti lakay SENYÈ a rive Jérusalem nan flèv Cédron an, li te moulen l an poud nèt e li te jete pousyè a nan simityè a pèp la.
He brought out the Asherah from the LORD’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burnt it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
7 Osi, li te kraze kay mal pwostitiye sakre ki te lakay SENYÈ a, kote fanm t ap trese bagay yo kwoke pou Astarté yo.
He broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the LORD’s house, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
8 Epi li te mennen tout prèt yo soti nan tout vil Juda yo, e li te souye wo plas kote prèt yo te konn brile lansan yo, soti Guéba jis rive Beer-Schéba. Li te kraze wo plas pòtay ki te nan antre pòtay Josué a, majistra vil la, ki te bò kote goch pòtay lavil la.
He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burnt incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
9 Sepandan, prèt wo plas yo pa t monte nan lotèl SENYÈ a Jérusalem, men yo te manje pen san ledven pami frè yo.
Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to the LORD’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread amongst their brothers.
10 Anplis, li te souye Topheth, ki nan vale fis Hinnom an, pou pèsòn pa t kab fè fis li oswa fi li pase nan dife Moloc la.
He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
11 Li te retire cheval ke wa a Juda yo te konn bay a solèy la, kote antre kay SENYÈ a, kote chanm Nethan-Mélec la, ofisye a, ki te nan pwovens yo e li te brile cha solèy yo avèk dife.
He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of the LORD’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 Lotèl ki te sou twati yo, nan wo chanm Achaz ke wa Juda yo te fè a ak lotèl ke Manassé te fè nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ a, wa a te kraze yo. Li te kraze yo e li te jete poud yo nan flèv Cédron an.
The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the LORD’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
13 Wo plas ki te devan Jérusalem yo, ki te adwat mòn pèdisyon ke Salomon te bati pou Astarté la, abominasyon a Sidonyen yo, avèk Kemosch, abominasyon a fis Ammon yo, wa a te souye yo.
The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
14 Li te kraze an mòso pilye sakre yo, li te koupe Astarté yo e li te plen plas yo avèk zo moun.
He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.
15 Anplis, lotèl ki te Béthel la avèk wo plas ke Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a, menm lotèl sila a avèk wo plas la a li te kraze. Epi li te kraze wòch li yo, li te moulen yo jis yo te fè poud e li te brile Astarté la.
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burnt the high place and beat it to dust, and burnt the Asherah.
16 Alò, lè Josias te vire gade, li te wè tout simityè ki te sou mòn nan e li te voye pran zo ki te ladann yo, li te brile yo sou lotèl la e te souye li pa pawòl SENYÈ a, ke nonm Bondye a te pwoklame a, sila ki te pwoklame bagay sa yo.
As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the LORD’s word which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
17 Alò, li te di: “Se ki moniman sa a ke m wè la a?” Epi mesye lavil yo te di l: “Li se tonm a nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a pou te pwoklame bagay sa yo ke ou te fè kont lotèl Béthel la.”
Then he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
18 Li te di: “Lese li; pa kite pèsòn deranje zo li.” Konsa, yo te kite zo li yo san deranje avèk zo a pwofèt ki te sòti Samarie a.
He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
19 Anplis, Josias te retire tout kay nan wo plas ki te nan vil Samarie yo, ke wa Israël la te fè pou te pwovoke SENYÈ a, epi li te fè a yo menm sa ke li te fè Béthel la.
All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20 Tout prèt a wo plas ki te prezan yo, li te touye yo sou lotèl yo, e li te brile zo moun yo sou yo. Konsa, li te retounen Jérusalem.
He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burnt men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
21 Wa a te kòmande tout pèp la. Li te di: “Selebre fèt Pak SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, jan sa ekri nan liv akò sila a.”
The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.”
22 Anverite, yon Pak tankou sila a pa t selebre depi nan jou a jij ki te jije Israël yo, ni nan tout jou a wa Israël yo avèk wa Juda yo.
Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
23 Men nan di-zuityèm ane a Wa Josias la, Pak sila a te obsève Jérusalem.
but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
24 Anplis, Josias te retire moun ki te konn rele lespri mò yo, avèk bòkò avèk zidòl lakay yo ak tout lòt zidòl avèk tout abominasyon ki te konn wè nan tout peyi Juda a avèk Jérusalem, pou li ta kapab konfime pawòl lalwa ki te ekri nan liv ke Hilkija, prèt la, te twouve lakay SENYÈ a.
Moreover, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the LORD’s house.
25 Avan li, pa t gen wa tankou li ki te vire vè SENYÈ a avèk tout kè li, avèk tout nanm li e avèk tout fòs li, selon lalwa Moïse la. Ni pa t gen okenn moun tankou li ki te leve apre li.
There was no king like him before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after him.
26 Malgre sa, SENYÈ a pa t kite chalè gran kòlè Li ki te brile kont Juda, akoz tout pwovokasyon avèk sila Manassé te pwovoke Li yo.
Notwithstanding, the LORD didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burnt against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
27 SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen va retire Juda tou devan zye Mwen, jan mwen te retire Israël la. Mwen va voye jete Jérusalem, vil sila ke M te chwazi a ak tanp sou sila Mwen te di: ‘Non Mwen va la a.’”
The LORD said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”
28 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josias yo, avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 Nan jou pa li yo, Farawon Néco, wa Égypte la, te monte kont wa Assyrie a nan Rivyè Euphrate la e Wa Josias te ale rankontre li. Epi lè Néco te wè l, li te touye li Méguiddo.
In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when he saw him.
30 Sèvitè li yo te kondwi kadav li a nan yon cha soti Méguiddo pou te mennen li rive Jérusalem, e yo te antere li nan pwòp tonm pa li. Konsa, pèp peyi a te pran Joachaz, fis a Josias la, yo te onksyone li, e yo te fè l wa nan plas papa li.
His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
31 Joachaz te gen laj a venn-twazan lè l te devni wa a e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Hamuthal, fi a Jérémie an nan Libna.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
32 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke zansèt li yo te fè.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
33 Farawon Néco te fèmen li nan prizon nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath pou li pa renye Jérusalem, epi li te enpoze sou peyi a yon amann san talan ajan avèk yon talan lò.
Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
34 Farawon Néco te fè Éliakim, fis a Josias la wa nan plas Josias, papa li e te chanje non li an Jojakim. Men li te mennen Joachaz sòti. Li te mennen li an Égypte e li te mouri la.
Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there.
35 Konsa, Jojakim te bay ajan avèk lò a Farawon, men li te egzije kontribisyon sou peyi a pou l ta kab bay lajan lè Farawon te mande li. Li te egzije ajan avèk lò a soti nan pèp peyi a, chak moun selon kalkil valè pa li, pou vèse bay a Farawon Néco.
Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
36 Jojakim te gen laj venn-senkan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye onzan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Zébudda, fi a Pedaja a nan Ruma.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
37 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa zansèt li yo te konn fè yo.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
