Nehemiah 7
1 Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
Alò, lè miray la te fin rebati, mwen te fin monte pòt yo e gadyen pòtay yo avèk chantè yo avèk Levit yo te chwazi.
2 I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.
Anplis, mwen te mete Hanani, frè mwen an, avèk Hanania, kòmandan fò a, an chaj Jérusalem. Paske li te yon nonm fidèl e te gen lakrent Bondye plis pase anpil moun.
3 I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
Mwen te di yo: “Pa kite pòtay Jérusalem yo ouvri jiskaske solèy la vin cho ak pandan gad yo an plas yo, fè yo fèmen pòt yo e boulonnen yo. Anplis, chwazi gad yo soti nan pèp Jérusalem nan, chak moun sou pòs li e chak moun devan pwòp kay pa li.”
4 In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't been rebuilt.
Alò, vil la te byen gran avèk anpil espas, men moun ladann yo pa t anpil e kay yo potko bati.
5 My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
Konsa, Bondye mwen an te mete sa nan kè m pou rasanble sitwayen enpòtan lavil yo, chèf yo avèk pèp la pou vin anrejistre pa lign zansèt yo. Mwen te twouve liv a zansèt a sila ki te monte an premye yo, e ladann, rekò swivan an:
6 This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.
Sila yo se pèp pwovens ki te monte soti an kaptivite nan egzil ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te pote ale yo, e ki te retounen Jérusalem avèk Juda, chak moun nan lavil pa li;

64 They searched for a record of them in the genealogies, but their names weren't found, so they were barred from serving as priests.
Sila yo te fè rechèch nan achiv zansèt yo, men yo pa t kapab twouve yo; akoz sa, yo te konsidere pa pwòp e pa t kab fè sèvis kon prèt.
65 The governor instructed them not to eat anything from the sanctuary sacrifices until a priest could ask the Lord about the issue by using the Urim and Thummim.
Gouvènè a te pale yo ke yo pa t pou manje soti nan bagay sen pase tout lòt bagay yo, jiskaske yon prèt vin leve avèk Ourim avèk Thoumim nan.

73 The priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and Temple servants, as well as some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, went back to live in their specific towns. By the seventh month the Israelites were living in their towns,
