Ezra 8
1 Now these are the chiefs of families, and the genealogy of them, who came up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
Men lis chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak non zansèt yo ki te pati ansanm avè m' soti lavil Babilòn pou moute lavil Jerizalèm sou rèy wa Atagzèsès:
2 Of the sons of Phinees, Gersom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattus.

Pou branch fanmi Adonikam an, se te Elifelèt, Jeyèl ak Chemaja. Yo te gen swasant gason avèk yo. Moun sa yo te vin apre.
14 Of the sons of Begui, Uthai and Zachur, and with them seventy men.
Outayi, pitit gason Zaboud la, chèf branch fanmi Bigvayi a. Li te gen swasandis gason avè l'.
15 And I gathered them together to the river, which runneth down to Ahava, and we stayed there three days: and I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and found none there.
Mwen sanble tout moun sa yo bò gwo kannal ki mennen dlo nan lavil Aava a. Nou pase twa jou la. Antan nou la, mwen remake nou te gen prèt nan gwoup la, men pa t' gen moun Levi.
16 So I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Semeias, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zacharias, and Mosollam, chief men: and Joiarib, and Elnathan, wise men.
Lè sa a, mwen fè chache nèf chèf sa yo: Elyezè, Aryèl, Chemaja, Elnatan, Jarib, Elnatan, Natan, Zakaraya ak Mechoulam ansanm ak direktè sa yo: Jojarib ak Elnatan, de moun ki konn esplike lalwa a.
17 And I sent them to Eddo, who is chief in the place of Chasphia, and I put in their mouth the words that they should speak to Eddo, and his brethren the Nathinites in the place of Chasphia, that they should bring us ministers of the house of our God.
Mwen voye yo bò kote Ido, chèf kominote Kasifya a. Mwen esplike yo tou sa pou yo di Ido ak kòlèg li yo ki konn tout travay pou fèt nan tanp lan, epi ki t'ap viv ansanm nan kominote Kasifya a, pou yo ka fè nou jwenn kèk gason pou travay nan tanp Bondye nou an.
18 And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a most learned man of the sons of Moholi the son of Levi the son of Israel, and Sarabias and his sons, and his brethren eighteen,
Se konsa, avèk benediksyon Bondye ki te sou nou, yo ban nou Cherebya, yon nonm lespri, ki te soti nan branch fanmi Makli, yonn nan pitit gason Levi yo ki li menm te pitit Izrayèl. Te gen dizwit nan pitit li yo ak fanmi l' yo ki te vini ak li tou.
19 And Hasabias, and with him Isaias of the sons of Merari, and his brethren, and his sons twenty.
Yo ban nou ankò Achabya ak Jechaya, frè li a, tou de moun branch fanmi Merari. Te gen vin nan pitit gason yo ki te vini ak yo tou.
20 And of the Nathinites, whom David, and the princes gave for the service of the Levites, Nathinites two hundred and twenty: all these were called by their names.
Te gen tou desanven (220) travayè pou tanp lan. Se wa David ak chèf li yo ki te bay zansèt moun sa yo reskonsablite pou ede moun Levi yo nan sèvis yo. Yo te pran non tout moun sa yo.
21 And I proclaimed there a fast by the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before the Lord our God, and might ask of him a right way for us and for our children, and for all our substance.
Antan nou la bò kannal Aava a, mwen bay lòd pou tout moun fè jèn, pou nou soumèt nou devan Bondye, pou mande l' pou nou fè yon bon vwayaj, pou l' pwoteje nou, pitit nou yo ansanm ak tout byen nou yo.
22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him.
Mwen te wont mande wa a yon lame ak kavalye pou pwoteje nou si yon lènmi ta atake nou sou wout, paske mwen te fin di wa a konsa Bondye nou an ap pwoteje tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li, l'ap beni yo. Konsa tou, l'ap fache sou moun ki vire do ba li, l'ap pini yo.
23 And we fasted, and besought our God for this: and it fell out prosperously unto us.
Se konsa nou fè jèn, nou lapriyè Bondye pou l' pwoteje nou. Epi li reponn lapriyè nou yo.
24 And I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sarabias, and Hasabias, and with them ten of their brethren,
Apre sa, mwen chwazi douz moun nan chèf prèt yo: se te Cherebya, Achabya ak dis lòt chèf prèt.
25 And I weighed unto them the silver and gold, and the vessels consecrated for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel, that were found had offered.
Mwen pran pèz tout ajan ak tout lò ak tout lòt veso wa a, konseye l' yo ak lòt chèf ki avè l' yo te bay pou sèvi nan tanp Bondye nou an ansanm ak ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo, epi mwen renmèt yo bay douz chèf prèt yo.
26 And I weighed to their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred vessels of silver, and a hundred talents of gold,
Men sa mwen te renmèt yo nan men: nèfsandouzmil (912.000) ons ajan, ak san veso an ajan ki te peze demilkatsan (2.400) ons, sansenkantwitmil (158.000) ons lò,
27 And twenty cups of gold, of a thousand solids, and two vessels of the best shining brass, beautiful as gold.
ak vin bòl an lò ki te peze desanswasanndis (270) ons. Te gen de bèl bòl an kwiv dore ki te gen menm valè ak bòl an lò yo.
28 And I said to them: You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and gold, that is freely offered to the Lord the God of our fathers.
Mwen di yo: Nou menm, nou se moun yo mete apa pou sèvis Seyè a. Veso sa yo, yo mete yo apa pou Seyè a tou. Ajan sa yo ak lò sa yo se ofrann moun yo te fè lide ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo.
29 Watch ye and beep them, till you deliver them by weight before the chief of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasure of the house of the Lord.
Nou reskonsab yo jouk n'a rive nan tanp lan lavil Jerizalèm. Rive la, nan chanm prèt yo ki nan tanp Bondye a, n'a peze yo ankò devan chèf prèt yo ak chèf moun Levi yo, devan chèf branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, epi n'a renmèt yo li.
30 And the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and gold, and the vessels, to carry them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Se konsa, lè mwen fin peze ajan an, lò a ak veso yo, prèt yo ak moun Levi yo pran yo nan men m', pou pote yo jouk lavil Jerizalèm, nan tanp Bondye nou an.
31 Then we set forward from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
Sou douzyèm jou premye mwa a, nou kite kote nou te ye a bò kannal Aava a, nou pati pou lavil Jerizalèm. Bondye nou an te la ak nou sou tout wout la. Li pwoteje nou, li pa kite okenn lènmi atake nou, li pa kite nou tonbe nan okenn anbiskad vòlò ta ka pare sou wout pou nou.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and we stayed there three days.
Nou rive lavil Jerizalèm, nou pase twa jou ap poze kò nou.
33 And on the fourth day the silver and the gold, and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Urias the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Josue, and Noadaia the son of Benoi, Levites.
Sou katriyèm jou a, n' al nan tanp Bondye nou an, yo peze ajan an, lò a ak veso yo, epi yo renmèt yo nan men Meremòt, prèt la, pitit gason Ouri a. Avèk li te gen Eleaza, pitit gason Fineas la, ak de moun Levi: Jozabad, pitit gason Jozye, ak Noadja, pitit gason Bennwi a.
34 According to the number and weight of every thing: and all the weight was written at that time.
Yo konte, yo peze, yo jwenn tout bagay, anyen pa t' manke. Lè sa a, yo fè yon lis tou sa yo te peze, epi yo sere lis la.
35 Moreover the children of them that had been carried away that were come out of the captivity, offered holocausts to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he goats for sin: all for a holocaust to the Lord.
Moun ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Yo ofri douz towo pou tout pèp Izrayèl la, katrevensèz belye mouton, swasanndisèt ti mouton ak douz bouk kabrit pou mande Bondye padon pou peche yo. Yo boule tout bèt sa yo nèt nan dife pou Seyè a.
36 And they gave the king’s edicts to the lords that were from the king’s court, and the governors beyond the river, and they furthered the people and the house of God.
Yo pran tout dokiman wa a te ba yo, yo renmèt prefè wa yo ak gouvènè yo ki reskonsab pwovens lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la. Se konsa, tout chèf sa yo vin ede pèp la, yo bay konkou yo pou tanp Bondye a.
