Ezra 8
1 And so these are the leaders of the families, with their genealogy, of those who ascended with me from Babylon, during the reign of king Artaxerxes.
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 From the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. From the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. From the sons of David, Hattush.
Nan fis a Phinées yo, Guerschom. Nan fis a Ithamar yo, Daniel. Nan fis a David yo, Hatthusch.
3 From the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Parosh, Zechariah, and one hundred fifty men were numbered with him.
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 From the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah, and two hundred men were with him.
Nan fis a Pachat-Moab yo, Eljoénaï, fis a Zerachja a, epi avèk li menm, de-san gason.
5 From the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel, and three hundred men were with him.
Nan fis a Tsatttu yo, Schecania, fis a Jachaziel la e avèk li, twa-san gason.
6 From the sons of Adin, Ebed, the son of Jonathan, and fifty men were with him.
Nan fis a Adin yo, Ébed, fis a Jonathan an e senkant gason avèk li.
7 From the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah, the son of Athaliah, and seventy men were with him.
Nan fis a Élam yo, Ésaïe, fis a Athalia a e avèk li, swasann-dis gason.
8 From the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael, and eighty men were with him.
Nan fis a Schephathia yo, Zebadia, fis a Micaël la e avèk li, katra-ven gason.
9 From the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel, and two hundred eighteen men were with him.
Nan fis a Joab yo, Abdias, fis a Jehiel la e avèk li, de-san di-zuit gason.
10 From the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and one hundred sixty men were with him.
Nan fis Schelomith yo, fis a Josiphia yo e avèk li, san-swasant gason.
11 From the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai, and twenty-eight men were with him.
Nan fis a Bébaï yo, Zacharie, fis a Bébaï a e avèk li, venn-tuit gason.
12 From the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan, and one hundred and ten men were with him.
Nan fis a Azgad yo, Jochanan, fis a Hakkathan an e avèk li, san-dis gason.
13 From the sons of Adonikam, who were the last, and these were their names: Eliphelet, and Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and sixty men were with them.
Nan fis a Adonikam yo, dènye yo, men non yo, Éliphéleth, Jeiel ak Schemaeja e avèk li, swasant gason.
14 From the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and seventy men were with them.
Nan fis a Bigvaï yo, Uthaï ak Zabbud e avèk yo, swasann-dis gason.
15 Now I gathered them together at the river that runs down to Ahava, and we stayed there for three days. And I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and I found none 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 so I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Shemaiah, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise.
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 sent them to Iddo, who is first within the place of Casiphia. And I placed in their mouth the words that they should speak to Iddo and his brothers, the temple servants, in the place of Casiphia, so that they would lead to us ministers 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 because the good hand of our God was over us, they led to us a very learned man from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, with Sherebiah, and his sons, and his eighteen brothers,
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 Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, and his brothers, and his sons, numbering twenty.
epi Haschabia e avèk li, Ésaïe nan fis a Merari yo, avèk frè li yo ak fis li yo, ven;
20 And from the temple servants, whom David, and the leaders had provided for the ministry of the Levites, there were two hundred twenty temple servants. All these were called 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 a fast in that place, beside the river Ahava, so that we might afflict ourselves in the sight of the Lord our God, and so that we might request of him the right way for us, and for our sons, and for all our substance.
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 petition the king for assistance and for horsemen, who would defend us from the enemy along the way. For we had said to the king: “The hand of our God is over all those who seek him in goodness. And his authority, and his strength and fury, is over all those who 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 And so we fasted and begged our God for this; and as a result, we prospered.
Konsa, nou te fè jèn nan, e te chache Bondye nou konsa, e Li te koute sa nou te mande a.
24 And I separated twelve from among the leaders of the priests: Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
Konsa, mwen te mete akote douz nan prèt prensipal yo, Schébéria, Haschabia ak dis nan frè yo.
25 And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels consecrated to the house of our God, which had been offered by the king, and by his counselors and his leaders, and by all those of Israel who had been found.
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 And I weighed out to their hands six hundred fifty talents of silver, and one hundred vessels of silver, and one 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 gold bowls which had the weight of one thousand coins, and two vessels of the finest shining brass, as beautiful 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: “You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, with the silver and the gold, which has been offered freely to the Lord, the 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 Watch and guard them, until you weigh them out before the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and the rulers of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasury 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 Then the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, so that they might carry these 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 Therefore, we set out from the river Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, so that we might travel to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was over us, and he freed us from the hand of the enemy and of those who lay in ambush along 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 arrived at Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days.
Konsa, nou te rive Jérusalem e te rete la pandan twa jou.
33 Then, on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out in the house of our God, by the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui.
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 This was done according to the number and weight of everything; and every weight was written down at that time.
Tout bagay te nimewote e te peze, e tout pwa a te rekòde menm lè sa a.
35 Moreover, those who came from the captivity, the sons of the transmigration, offered holocausts to the God of Israel: twelve calves on behalf of all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he-goats for sin. All these were a holocaust 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 Then they gave the edicts of the king to the rulers who served in the sight of the king, and to the governors beyond the river, and they exalted 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.
