< Ezra 8 >

1 And these [are] the heads of their families, the leaders that went up with me in the reign of Arthasastha the king of Babylon.
Alò sila yo se chèf lakay papa zansèt yo, e anrejistreman a sila ki te monte avè m soti Babylone yo nan règn Wa Artaxerxès la:
2 Of the sons of Phinees; Gerson: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Attus.
Nan fis a Phinées yo, Guerschom. Nan fis a Ithamar yo, Daniel. Nan fis a David yo, Hatthusch.
3 Of the sons of Sachania, and the sons of Phoros; Zacharias: and with him a company [of] a hundred and fifty.
Nan fis a Schecania yo ki te nan fis a Pareosch yo, Zacharie e avèk li, san-senkant gason ki te nan chif rejis la.
4 Of the sons of Phaath-Moab; Eliana the son of Saraia, and with him two hundred that were males.
Nan fis a Pachat-Moab yo, Eljoénaï, fis a Zerachja a, epi avèk li menm, de-san gason.
5 And of the sons of Zathoes; Sechenias the son of Aziel, and with him three hundred males.
Nan fis a Tsatttu yo, Schecania, fis a Jachaziel la e avèk li, twa-san gason.
6 And of the sons of Adin; Obeth the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.
Nan fis a Adin yo, Ébed, fis a Jonathan an e senkant gason avèk li.
7 And of the sons of Elam; Isaeas the son of Athelia, and with him seventy males.
Nan fis a Élam yo, Ésaïe, fis a Athalia a e avèk li, swasann-dis gason.
8 And of the sons of Saphatia; Zabadias the son of Michael, and with him eighty males.
Nan fis a Schephathia yo, Zebadia, fis a Micaël la e avèk li, katra-ven gason.
9 And of the sons of Joab; Abadia the son of Jeiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.
Nan fis a Joab yo, Abdias, fis a Jehiel la e avèk li, de-san di-zuit gason.
10 And of the sons of Baani; Selimuth the son of Josephia, and with him a hundred and sixty males.
Nan fis Schelomith yo, fis a Josiphia yo e avèk li, san-swasant gason.
11 And of the sons of Babi; Zacharias the son of Babi, and with him twenty-eight males.
Nan fis a Bébaï yo, Zacharie, fis a Bébaï a e avèk li, venn-tuit gason.
12 And of the sons of Asgad; Joanan the son of Accatan, and with him a hundred and ten males.
Nan fis a Azgad yo, Jochanan, fis a Hakkathan an e avèk li, san-dis gason.
13 And of the sons of Adonicam [were the] last, and these [were] their names, Eliphalat, Jeel, and Samaea, and with them sixty males.
Nan fis a Adonikam yo, dènye yo, men non yo, Éliphéleth, Jeiel ak Schemaeja e avèk li, swasant gason.
14 And of the sons of Baguae, Uthai, and Zabud, and with him seventy males.
Nan fis a Bigvaï yo, Uthaï ak Zabbud e avèk yo, swasann-dis gason.
15 And I gathered them to the river that comes to Evi, and we encamped there three days: and I reviewed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.
Alò, mwen te rasanble yo akote rivyè ki kouri rive Ahava a, kote nou te fè kan pandan twa jou. Epi lè mwen te obsève pèp la avèk prèt yo, mwen pa t twouve okenn nan Levit yo la.
16 And I sent men of understanding to Eleazar, to Ariel, to Semeias, and to Alonam, and to Jarib, and to Elnatham, and to Nathan, and to Zacharias, and to Mesollam, and to Joarim, and to Elnathan.
Akoz sa, mwen te voye pou chèf yo Éliézer, Ariel, Schemaeja, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zacharie ak Meschullam e pwofesè yo, Jojarib avèk Einathan.
17 And I forwarded them to the rulers with the money of the place, and I put words in their mouth to speak to their brethren the Athinim with the money of the place, that they should bring us singers for the house of our God.
Mwen te voye yo kote Iddo, chèf prensipal nan andwa Casiphia a; epi mwen te fè yo konnen kisa pou yo di Iddo avèk frè li yo, sèvitè tanp yo nan andwa Casiphia a, sa vle di pou pote sèvitè yo kote nou pou lakay Bondye pa nou an.
18 And they came to us, as the good hand of our God was upon us, even a man of understanding of the sons of Mooli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, and at the commencement came his sons and his brethren, eighteen.
Selon bon men SENYÈ a sou nou, yo te mennen bannou yon nonm ak anpil konprann nan fis a Machli yo, fis a Lévi a, fis Israël la, ki rele Schérébia ak fis li yo avèk frè li yo, di-zuit mesye;
19 And Asebia, and Isaia of the sons of Merari, his brethren and his sons, twenty.
epi Haschabia e avèk li, Ésaïe nan fis a Merari yo, avèk frè li yo ak fis li yo, ven;
20 And of the Nathinim; whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites [there were] two hundred and twenty Nathinim; all were gathered by [their] names.
epi de-san-ven nan sèvitè tanp yo, ke David avèk chèf yo te bay pou sèvis Levit yo, tout moun ki te dezigne pa non yo.
21 And I proclaimed there a fast, at the river Aue, that [we] should humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our children, and for all our property.
Epi mwen te pwoklame yon jèn, akote rivyè Ahava a, pou nou ta kab imilye nou devan Bondye nou an pou chache soti nan Li, yon vwayaj sof pou nou, pitit nou yo ak tout byen nou yo.
22 For I was ashamed to ask of the king a guard and horsemen to save us from the enemy in the way: for we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath [are] upon all that forsake him.
Paske mwen te wont mande a wa a, sòlda yo avèk chevalye yo pou pwoteje nou kont lènmi sou chemen an, akoz nou te di a wa a: “Men Bondye nou an byen dispoze sou sila ki chache Li yo, men ak pwisans Li avèk lakòlè Li kont tout sila ki abandone Li yo.”
23 So we fasted, and asked of our God concerning this; and he hearkened to us.
Konsa, nou te fè jèn nan, e te chache Bondye nou konsa, e Li te koute sa nou te mande a.
24 And I gave charge to twelve of the chiefs of the priests, to Saraia, to Asabia, and ten of their brethren with them.
Konsa, mwen te mete akote douz nan prèt prensipal yo, Schébéria, Haschabia ak dis nan frè yo.
25 And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first-fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated.
Epi mwen te peze bay yo ajan, lò, avèk zouti, ofrann pou lakay Bondye nou an, ke wa a avèk konseye li yo ak chèf li yo avèk tout Israël prezan yo, te bay.
26 I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold;
Konsa, mwen te peze mete nan men yo sis-san-senkant talan ajan, zouti an ajan ki te gen valè a san talan e anplis, san talan lò,
27 and twenty golden bowls, [weighing] about a thousand drachms, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, [precious] as gold.
ven bòl an lò ki te gen valè mil darik yo, ak de zouti an bwonz klè, byen fen, presye kon lò.
28 And I said to them, Ye [are] holy to the Lord; and the vessels [are] holy; and the silver and the gold are freewill-offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.
Mwen te di yo: “Nou sen a SENYÈ la, e tout zouti yo sen. Epi ajan avèk lò a se yon ofrann bòn volonte a SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo.
29 Be watchful and keep them, until ye weigh [them] before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord.
Veye e kenbe yo jiskaske nou peze yo devan prèt prensipal yo, Levit yo ak chèf an tèt lakay zansèt a Israël nou yo Jérusalem, nan chanm lakay SENYÈ yo.”
30 So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.
Konsa, prèt yo avèk Levit yo te aksepte ajan avèk lò ki te fin peze yo ak zouti yo pou pote yo Jérusalem lakay Bondye pa nou an.
31 And we departed from the river of Aue on the twelfth day of the first month, to come to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy and adversary in the way.
Epi nou te vwayaje soti nan rivyè Ahava a nan douzyèm jou nan premye mwa a pou monte Jérusalem. Lamen Bondye nou an te sou nou, e Li te delivre nou soti nan men a lènmi yo, ak anbiskad nan chemen yo.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
Konsa, nou te rive Jérusalem e te rete la pandan twa jou.
33 And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth the son of Uria the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Jesus, and Noadia the son of Banaia, the Levites.
Nan katriyèm jou a, ajan an avèk lò a avèk zouti ki te peze pa men a Merémoth la, fis a Urie a, prèt la, e avèk li, te gen Éléazar, fis a Phinées; epi avèk yo, te gen Levit yo, Jozabad, fis a Josué a ak Noadia, fis a Binnui a.
34 All things [were reckoned] by number and weight, and the whole weight was written [down].
Tout bagay te nimewote e te peze, e tout pwa a te rekòde menm lè sa a.
35 At that time the children of the banishment that came from the captivity offered whole-burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve goats for a sin-offering; all whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord.
Moun egzil ki te sòti an kaptivite yo te ofri ofrann brile a Bondye Israël la: douz towo pou tout Israël, katre-ven-sèz belye, swasann-dis-sèt jenn mouton, douz mal kabrit kon ofrann peche. Yo tout te kon yon ofrann brile a SENYÈ a.
36 And they gave the king's mandate to the king's lieutenants, and the governors beyond the river: and they honoured the people and the house of God.
Yo te livre dekrè a wa a chèf pwovens yo, e a majistra lòtbò rivyè Jourdain an. Konsa, yo te bay soutyen a pèp la avèk lakay Bondye a.
