Ezra 8
1 And these are the chief fathers, and their genealogy, who went up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
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 children of Phinehas, Gershom; of the children of Ithamar, Daniel; of the children of David, Hattush;
Nan fis a Phinées yo, Guerschom. Nan fis a Ithamar yo, Daniel. Nan fis a David yo, Hatthusch.
3 of the children of Shecaniah, of the children of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were registered by genealogy of the males 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 children of Pahath-Moab, Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males.

6 And of the children of Adin, Ebed 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 children of Elam, Isaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males.

8 And of the children of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him eighty males.

13 And of the children of Adonikam, the last ones, whose names are these: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, 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 children of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.
Nan fis a Bigvaï yo, Uthaï ak Zabbud e avèk yo, swasann-dis gason.
15 And I gathered them together at the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days; and I surveyed 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 for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men, and for Joiarib and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
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 gave them a commission to Iddo the chief, at the place Casiphia, and I put words in their mouths to say to Iddo [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring 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 by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely, Sherebiah, with 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 Hashabiah, and with him Isaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their 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 Nethinim, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were expressed by name.
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 there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, 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 require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; for we had spoken to the king saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his anger is against all them 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 And we fasted, and besought our God for this; and he was entreated of 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 separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, 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, the heave-offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes, and all Israel present, had offered.
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 into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver; and silver vessels a hundred talents, [and] of gold a hundred talents;
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 basons of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of shining copper, 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 unto Jehovah; the vessels also are holy; and the silver and the gold is a voluntary offering to Jehovah the God of your 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 keep [them] until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.
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 And the priests and the Levites received by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto 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 Ahava on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by 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 on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Urijah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, 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 the whole by number and by weight; and all the 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 The children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, presented burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
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 delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps, and to the governors on this side the river. And they furthered 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.
