Ezra 8
1 Now, these, are their ancestral heads, and their genealogical register, —even of those who came up with me, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king, out of Babylon: —
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 Phinehas, Gershom, of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel, —of the sons of David, Hattush;

13 And, of the later sons of Adonikam, these being their names, Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, —and, with them, sixty males;
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 And, of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, —and, with him, seventy males.
Outayi, pitit gason Zaboud la, chèf branch fanmi Bigvayi a. Li te gen swasandis gason avè l'.
15 And I gathered them together, unto the river that cometh into Ahava, and we encamped there three days, —and I informed myself among the people and the priests, and, of the sons of Levi, found I 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 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, —also for Joiarib and for Elnathan, teachers.
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 forth unto Iddo the chief, at the place Casiphia, —and I put into their mouth words, to speak unto Iddo and his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, to bring unto us attendants for 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 So they brought unto us, according to the good hand of our God upon us, a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, —and Sherebiah, 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 Hashabiah, and, with him, Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, —his brethren and their 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 Nethinim whom David and the rulers had given for the service of the Levites, Nethinim, two hundred and twenty, —all of them, expressed by name.
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 Then proclaimed I there a fast, by the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, —to seek of him a smooth way, for us and for our little ones, 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 of the king, a band of soldiers and horsemen, to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God, is upon all who seek him, for good, But, his power and his anger, are against all who 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 So we fasted and sought of our God, concerning this, —and he suffered himself to be entreated by us.
Se konsa nou fè jèn, nou lapriyè Bondye pou l' pwoteje nou. Epi li reponn lapriyè nou yo.
24 Then I separated, from among the rulers of the priests, twelve, —even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and, with them, from among their brethren, ten;
Apre sa, mwen chwazi douz moun nan chèf prèt yo: se te Cherebya, Achabya ak dis lòt chèf prèt.
25 and weighed unto them, the silver and the gold, and the utensils, —the heave-offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counselors and his rulers and all Israel who were present, 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 I even weighed unto their hand, of silver, six hundred and fifty talents, and, of utensils of silver, a hundred talents, —of gold, a hundred talents;
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, bowls of gold, twenty, of a thousand drams, —and, utensils of fine bright bronze, two, precious 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 Then said I unto them, Ye, are hallowed unto Yahweh, and, the utensils, are hallowed, —and, the silver and the gold, are a freewill offering, unto Yahweh, God of your 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 and guard, until ye weigh [them] before the rulers of the priests and the Levites and the ancestral rulers of Israel, in Jerusalem, —in the chambers of the house of Yahweh.
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 So the priests and the Levites accepted the weight of the silver and the gold, and the utensils, —to bring to Jerusalem, unto 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 brake we up from the river of Ahava, on the twelfth of the first month, to journey unto Jerusalem, —and, the hand of our God, was upon us, and he delivered us from the grasp of the enemy and of the lier 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 So we came to Jerusalem, —and we rested there, three days.
Nou rive lavil Jerizalèm, nou pase twa jou ap poze kò nou.
33 And, on the fourth day, was weighed—the silver and the gold and the utensils, in the house of our God, unto the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest, and, with him, was Eleazar son of Phinehas, —and, with them, were Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui, 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 by the number and by the weight of the whole, —and all the weight, was written down, 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 They who came in out of the captivity, Sons of the Exile, offered as ascending-sacrifices unto the God of Israel—bullocks twelve for all Israel, rams ninety-six, young sheep seventy-seven, he-goats for bearing sin, twelve, —the whole, as an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh.
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 Then delivered they the decrees of the king, unto the satraps of the king, and the pashas Beyond the River, —and they upheld 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.
