8 The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who, with his associates, led the songs of thanksgiving.
Men non moun Levi yo: Te gen yon premye gwoup ki te reskonsab chante kantik pou di Bondye mèsi. Se te Jozye, Bennwi, Kadmyèl, Cherebya, Jeouda ak Natanya.
9 Bakbukiah and Unni, their associates, stood across from them in the services.

22 In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, during the reign of Darius the Persian, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded.
Pandan tout tan Elyachib, Jodaja, Jokanan ak Jadwa te pase granprèt, yonn apre lòt, yo te enskri non chèf tout fanmi prèt yo ak non moun Levi yo nan gwo rejis ofisyèl tanp lan. Yo te kenbe rejis sa a jouk sou rèy wa Dariyis ki t'ap gouvènen peyi Pès la.
23 As for the descendants of Levi, the family heads up to the days of Johanan son of Eliashib were recorded in the Book of the Chronicles.
Pou branch fanmi Levi yo, yo te enskri nou chèf fanmi yo tou nan gwo rejis ofisyèl la, men lè yo rive sou tan Jokanan, pitit pitit Elyachib la, yo sispann fè sa.
24 The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their associates, who stood across from them to give praise and thanksgiving as one section alternated with the other, as prescribed by David the man of God.
Chèf moun Levi yo te Achabya, Jechwa, Bennwi ak Kadmyèl. Yo te separe moun Levi yo an gwoup. De gwoup te kanpe yonn anfas lòt pou chante lwanj Seyè a ak kantik pou di Bondye mèsi, yonn apre lòt, dapre lòd wa David, sèvitè Bondye, te kite a.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the gates.
Men non moun ki t'ap sèvi tankou gad pòtay tanp lan: Se te Matanya, Bakboukya, Obadya, Mechoulam, Talmon ak Akoub. Yo te reskonsab veye depo magazen ki te bò pòtay tanp lan.
26 They served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
Moun sa yo t'ap viv nan tan Jojakim, pitit Jozye, pitit pitit Josadak la, te granprèt la, nan tan Neemi t'ap gouvènen an ak nan tan Esdras, prèt ki te direktè lalwa a, tou.
27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out from all their homes and brought to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.
Lè yo tapral fè sèvis benediksyon miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm lan, yo fè chache tout moun Levi yo toupatou kote yo te rete, yo mennen yo lavil Jerizalèm. Yo te vle fè yon gwo fèt pou sèvis benediksyon an ak kè kontan. t'ap gen chante pou di Bondye mèsi, avèk mizik, senbal, gita ak bandjo.
28 The singers were also assembled from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,
Se konsa mizisyen sanba yo, moun branch nan fanmi Levi yo, soti nan tout zòn ki bò lavil Jerizalèm, nan ti bouk ki bò Netofa yo, yo sanble.
29 from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
Genyen tou ki te soti lavil Betgilgal ak andeyò Geba ak Azmavèt. Lè sa a, mizisyen yo te rete nan anpil ti bouk yo te bati nan tout zòn bò lavil Jerizalèm lan.
30 After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Prèt yo ak moun Levi yo fè sèvis pou mete tèt yo, pèp la, pòtay yo ak miray ranpa a nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
31 Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great thanksgiving choirs. One was to proceed along the top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate.
Mwen fè tout chèf peyi Jida yo moute sou tèt miray ranpa a: Mwen fè de gwoup mizisyen ak moun pou chante pandan y'ap mache sou tèt miray la. Premye gwoup la al sou bò dwat nan direksyon Pòtay Fatra a.
32 Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,
Ozaya t'ap mache dèyè yo ak mwatye nan chèf peyi Jida yo.
33 along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
Dèyè yo t'ap mache Azarya, Esdras, Mechoulam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Jeouda, Benjamen, Chemaja ak Jirimeja.
35 and some of the priests with trumpets, and also Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
Mesye sa yo se prèt yo te chwazi pou kònen twonpèt yo. Dèyè yo t'ap mache Zekarya, pitit Jonatan. Jonatan sa a te pitit Chemaja, Chemaja te pitit Matanya, Matanya te pitit Mika, Mika te pitit Zakou, Zakou te pitit Asaf.
36 and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.
Zekarya t'ap mache avèk lòt moun menm fanmi avè l' yo. Se te Chemaja, Azareèl, Milalayi, Gilalayi, Maayi, Netaneèl, Jeouda ak Anani. Yo tout yo te gen nan men yo tout kalite enstriman mizik wa David, sèvitè Bondye a, te konn jwe. Se Esdras, direktè lalwa a, ki t'ap mache devan premye gwoup sa a.
37 At the Fountain Gate they climbed the steps of the City of David on the ascent to the wall and passed above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
Lè yo rive Pòtay Fontenn dlo a, yo moute dwat devan yo, yo pran macheskalye ki mennen nan lavil wa David la, yo pase sou kote palè David la, yo moute sou tèt miray la ankò jouk yo rive Pòtay Dlo yo bò solèy leve.
38 The second thanksgiving choir proceeded to the left, and I followed it with half the people along the top of the wall, past the Tower of the Ovens to the Broad Wall,
Lòt gwoup la menm al sou bò gòch, sou tèt miray la: Mwen t'ap mache dèyè yo ansanm ak lòt mwatye moun yo. Nou pase bò gwo Fò Fou yo jouk nou rive sou gwo miray laj la.
39 over the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
Apre sa, nou pase anwo pòtay Efrayim lan, anwo vye Pòtay la, anwo Pòtay Pwason yo, sou kote Fò Ananeèl ak Fò Meya a jouk nou rive bò Pòtay Mouton yo. Nou rete bò Pòtay Gad Tanp lan.
40 The two thanksgiving choirs then stood in the house of God, as did I, along with the half of the officials accompanying me,
Se konsa, de gwoup moun yo ki t'ap chante pou di Bondye mèsi a rive nan tanp Bondye a. Mwen te gen avè mwen mwatye nan chèf yo,
41 as well as the priests with their trumpets—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah—
ansanm ak prèt ki t'ap kònen twonpèt yo: Elyakim, Maaseja, Menjamen, Mika, Elioenayi, Zekarya, Ananya, avèk twonpèt yo nan men yo,
42 and also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then the choirs sang out under the direction of Jezrahiah.
ansanm avèk moun k'ap chante yo: Maseja, Chemaja, Eleaza, Ouzi, Jokanan, Malkija, Elam ak Azè. Se Jizraja ki t'ap mennen chante a.
43 On that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
Jou sa a, yo te ofri anpil gwo sakrifis pou Bondye. Tout pèp la t'ap fè fèt paske Seyè a te ba yo gwo kè kontan. Tout fanm yo ak tout timoun yo t'ap fete tou. Byen lwen yo te ka tande moun yo ki t'ap fete nan lavil Jerizalèm lan.
44 And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who were serving.
Lè sa a, yo chwazi kèk gason yo mete reskonsab chanm depo kote yo te mete pwovizyon yo, ofrann premye grenn ak premye fwi yo ranmase nan chak rekòt yo, ofrann ladim yo ak lòt ofrann pou moun yo fè pou tanp lan: Se mesye sa yo ki te gen pou ale nan tout jaden bò lavil yo, pou ranmase sa lalwa te mande pou bay prèt yo ak moun Levi yo. Tout moun peyi Jida te kontan ak travay moun Levi yo ak prèt yo t'ap yo fè.
45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had prescribed.
Paske, yo t'ap fè sèvis Bondye yo san mank. Yo t'ap fè sèvis pou mete tout moun ak tout bagay nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Mizisyen yo ak gad pòtay tanp yo tou, tout moun t'ap fè travay yo dapre regleman wa David ak pitit li, wa Salomon, te bay.
46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Depi lontan, sou rèy David, nan tan Asaf te chèf mizisyen yo, te gen yon gwoup mizisyen ki te la pou chante lwanj Bondye ak lòt chante pou di l' mèsi.
47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for the descendants of Aaron.
Se konsa, nan tan Zowobabèl ak nan tan Neemi, tout pèp Izrayèl la te pote kado chak jou bay mizisyen yo ak gad pòtay tanp yo. Yo te pote renmèt moun Levi yo ofrann yo te mete apa pou Bondye. Moun Levi yo menm te bay prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo, pòsyon pa yo.
