Nehemiah 13
1 On the day that it was read aloud in [the] scroll of Moses in [the] ears of the people and it was found written in it that not he will come an Ammonite and a Moabite in [the] assembly of God until perpetuity.
Yon jou, pandan yo t'ap li nan liv lalwa Moyiz la pou pèp la, yo rive yon kote ki di: Moun Amon yo ak moun Moab yo pa janm gen dwa mete pwent pye yo kote pèp Bondye a sanble.
2 For not they had met [the] people of Israel with food and with water and he had hired on it Balaam to curse it and he turned God our the curse into blessing.
Paske moun Amon ak moun Moab yo te refize bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo pen ak dlo lè yo t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la. Okontrè, yo bay Balaram lajan pou l' te ka madichonnen yo. Men, Bondye fè tou, li vire madichon an, li fè l' tounen benediksyon.
3 And it was when heard they the law and they separated every person of mixed ancestry from Israel.
Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo tande sa yo te li nan liv lalwa a, yo pran tout moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo, yo mete yo deyò.
4 And before from this Eliashib the priest [was] appointed over [the] store-room of [the] house of God our [one] near to Tobiah.
Anvan tout bagay sa yo, se Elyachib, yonn nan prèt yo, yo te mete reskonsab chanm depo magazen tanp lan. Li te fanmi prèt Tobija.
5 And he made for him a room large and there people were before putting the grain offering the frankincense and the utensils and [the] tithe of the grain the new wine and the fresh oil [the] commandment of the Levites and the singers and the gatekeepers and [the] contribution of the priests.
Se konsa li pran yonn nan gwo chanm depo kote yo te konn mete ofrann yo, lansan an, veso ki sèvi nan tanp lan, ofrann ladim sou ble a, sou diven nivo a ak sou lwil, ofrann yo te fè pou moun Levi yo, pou mizisyen yo ak pou gad pòtay yo, ansanm ak pòsyon yo mete apa pou prèt yo, li fè ranje chanm lan pou Tobija.
6 And in all this not I was in Jerusalem for in year thirty and two of Artaxerxes [the] king of Babylon I had gone to the king and to [the] end of days I requested leave of absence from the king.
Pandan tout bagay sa yo t'ap pase, mwen pa t' lavil Jerizalèm paske, lè wa Atagzèsès te rive sou tranndezan depi l' t'ap gouvènen, nou te fè yon vwayaj al bò kote l'. Kèk tan apre sa, li ban m' otorizasyon ankò,
7 And I came to Jerusalem and I perceived! the evil thing which he had done Eliashib for Tobiah by making for him a room in [the] courtyards of [the] house of God.
epi m' tounen lavil Jerizalèm. Se lè sa a mwen vin konnen move bagay Elyachib te fè a, lè li te pran yon chanm nan lakou tanp Bondye a pou l' te bay Tobija rete.
8 And it was displeasing to me exceedingly and I threw! all [the] articles of [the] household of Tobiah the outside from the room.
Mwen te fache anpil poutèt sa. Mwen pran tout mèb ki te lakay Tobija yo, mwen jete yo deyò nan lari.
9 And I said! and people purified the store-rooms and I brought back! there [the] utensils of [the] house of God the grain offering and the frankincense.
Lèfini, mwen bay lòd pou yo fè sèvis pou mete chanm depo yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye, apre sa pou yo mete tout veso ki pou sèvis tanp lan, ansanm ak ofrann yo ak lansan an nan plas yo ankò.
10 And I perceived! that [the] portions of the Levites not it had been given and they had fled each one to own field his the Levites and the singers [who] did the work.
Mwen vin konnen tou pèp la pa t' bay sa pou yo te bay pou moun Levi yo, kifè moun Levi yo ak mizisyen yo te leve kite travay yo lavil Jerizalèm, yo tounen nan jaden yo.
11 And I contended! with the officials and I said! why? has it been neglected [the] house of God and I assembled them and I made stand them at place their.
Mwen rale zòrèy chèf yo, mwen mande yo poukisa yo pa okipe tanp la ankò. Mwen voye chache moun Levi yo ak mizisyen yo, m' fè yo tounen nan tanp lan vin fè travay yo.
12 And all Judah they brought [the] tithe of the grain and the new wine and the fresh oil to the storerooms.
Lè sa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pote ofrann ladim ble, ladim diven ak ladim lwil vin mete nan depo a.
13 And I appointed as treasurers! over [the] storerooms Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe and Pedaiah one of the Levites and [was] on hand their Hanan [the] son of Zaccur [the] son of Mattaniah for reliable they were thought and [was] on them to distribute to brothers their.
Mwen chwazi twa moun: Chelemya, yon prèt, Zadòk, yon direktè lalwa, ak Pedaja, yon moun Levi, mwen mete yo reskonsab chanm depo yo. Mwen chwazi yon lòt moun, Anan, pitit gason Zakou, pitit pitit Matanya, pou ede yo nan travay la. Mwen konnen mesye sa yo te nèg serye. Se yo ki te reskonsab separe pwovizyon yo bay prèt ak moun Levi parèy yo.
14 Remember! to me O God my on this and may not you wipe out loyalti my which I have done in [the] house of God my and in services its.
Se poutèt sa, O Bondye mwen, pa bliye m', tanpri! Pa bliye tout bagay sa yo mwen te fè pou tanp ou a ak pou regleman ou bay yo, paske mwen bay lavi m' nèt pou sèvi ou!
15 In the days those I saw in Judah - [some who] trod winepresses - on the sabbath and [some who] brought heaps of grain and [some who] loaded [them] on donkeys and also wine grapes and figs and every load and [some who] brought [them] Jerusalem on [the] day of the sabbath and I protested on [the] day sold they food.
Lè sa a tou, mwen wè kèk moun nan peyi Jida a ki t'ap fè ji rezen gwo jou repo a. Gen lòt menm ki t'ap chaje pakèt ble, diven, rezen, fig frans ak anpil lòt chay toujou sou bourik pou yo ale lavil Jerizalèm jou repo a. Mwen avèti yo pou yo pa vann jou sa a.
16 And the Tyrians [who] they dwelt in it [were] bringing fish and every merchandise and [were] selling [it] on the sabbath to [the] people of Judah and in Jerusalem.
Te gen kèk moun lavil Tir ki te rete lavil Jerizalèm pou fè kòmès. Yo te konn pote pwason ak tout lòt kalite machandiz pou yo te vann moun Jida yo jou repo a.
17 And I contended! with [the] nobles of Judah and I said! to them what? [is] the thing evil this which you [are] doing and [are] profaning [the] day of the sabbath.
Mwen rale zòrèy chèf peyi Jida yo, mwen di yo: -Ki kalite bagay lèd n'ap fè la a konsa! Gade jan n'ap derespekte jou repo Bondye a non!
18 ¿ Not thus did they do ancestors your and he brought God our on us all the trouble this and on the city this and you [are] increasing anger toward Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Se sa menm zansèt nou yo te konn fè, kifè Bondye nou an te pini nou, li te kite tout malè sa yo tonbe sou nou ak sou lavil la. Koulye a n'ap fè Bondye pi fache toujou lè nou pa respekte jou repo li a!
19 And it was just when they became dark [the] gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath and I said! and they were closed the doors and I said! that not people will open them until after the sabbath and some of servants my I stationed at the gates not it will come a load on [the] day of the sabbath.
Se konsa mwen bay lòd pou yo toujou fèmen tout batan pòtay lavil la pou tout jou repo a, depi lavèy lè solèy fin kouche, epi pou yo kite yo fèmen pou jouk nan denmen lè solèy la va kouche ankò. Mwen mete kèk moun pa m' menm ap veye bò pòtay yo pou ankenn chay pa antre nan lavil la jou repo a.
20 And they passed [the] night the traders and [the] sellers of every merchandise from [the] outside of Jerusalem a time and two [times].
Yonn ou de fwa, kèk machann k'ap fè trafik vann tout kalite machandiz te blije pase nwit lavèy jou repo a, deyò lòt bò pòtay lavil Jerizalèm.
21 And I warned! them and I said! to them why? [are] you passing [the] night before the wall if you will do [it] again a hand I will stretch out on you from the time that not they came on the sabbath.
Mwen avèti yo, mwen di yo: -Sa nou bezwen rete pase nwit lan deyò bò miray la fè? Si nou fè sa ankò, m'ap fè mete men sou nou. Depi lè sa a yo pa janm vini jou repo a ankò.
22 And I said! to the Levites that they will be purifying themselves and coming guarding the gates to keep holy [the] day of the sabbath also this remember! to me O God my and have mercy! on me according to [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your.
Mwen bay moun Levi yo lòd pou yo fè sèvis pou mete tèt pa yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye, apre sa pou yo vin veye pòtay yo pou nou te ka fete jou repo a jan Bondye vle l' la. Poutèt sa tou, o Bondye mwen, pa bliye mwen! Pou jan ou gen bon kè, tanpri, pitye pou mwen!
23 Also - in the days those I saw the Jews [who] they had married women (Ashdodite Ammonite *Q(k)*) Moabite.
Se lè sa a tou, mwen vin wè te gen anpil jwif ki te marye ak fanm ki te moun peyi Asdòd, moun peyi Amon osinon moun peyi Moab.
24 And children their half [were] speaking Ashdodite and not they [were] knowing to speak [in] Judean and according to [the] language of people and people.
Mwatye nan timoun yo te pale lang peyi Asdòd la ase ou ankò yon lòt kalite lang. Yo pa t' konn pale lang nou an.
25 And I contended with them and I cursed them and I struck some of them men and I pulled out beard their and I made take an oath them by God if you will give daughters your to sons their and if you will take any of daughters their for sons your and for yourselves.
Mwen rale zòrèy mesye yo, mwen mande pou madichon tonbe sou yo. Mwen fè bat anpil ladan yo, mwen fè rache cheve nan tèt yo. Mwen fè yo fè sèman devan Bondye pou yo pa janm pran pitit fi yo pou yo marye yo ak mesye lòt nasyon yo, ni tou pou yo pa janm pran fi nan mitan fi lòt nasyon yo pou madanm pa yo osinon pou madanm pitit gason yo.
26 ¿ Not on these did he sin Solomon [the] king of Israel and among the nations many not he was a king like him and loved by God his he was and he made him God king over all Israel also him they caused to sin the wives foreign.
Mwen di yo: -Se peche sa a menm wa Salomon te fè! Atout pa t' gen tankou l' nan tout wa lòt nasyon yo, atout Bondye l' la te renmen l', atout se Bondye menm ki te mete l' wa sou tout pèp Izrayèl la, se madanm lòt nasyon yo ki te pran tèt li pou fè l' fè sa ki mal.
27 And to you ¿ is it heard to do all the evil great this to act unfaithfully against God our by marrying wives foreign.
Koulye a nou ta renmen tout moun vin konnen n'ap fè menm gwo peche sa a, n'ap trayi Bondye nou an, n'ap marye ak medam ki moun lòt nasyon?
28 And one of [the] sons of Joiada [the] son of Eliashib the priest great [was] a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite and I drove away him from with me.
Jojada te pitit Elyachib, granprèt la. Yonn nan pitit gason l' yo te marye ak pitit fi Sanbalat, nèg lavil Bèt-Owon an. Mwen mete l' deyò pou m' pa janm wè l' devan je m' ankò.
29 Remember! to them O God my on [the] defilement of the priesthood and [the] covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.
O Bondye mwen, pa janm bliye moun sa yo pou jan yo avili travay prèt yo ak kontra ou te siyen ak prèt yo ansanm ak moun Levi yo!
30 And I purified them from all foreignness and I assigned! duties to the priests and to the Levites each one in own work his.
Mwen te wete tout bagay ki pou moun lòt nasyon yo nan mitan pèp la pou yo te ka nan kondisyon pou sèvi Bondye. Mwen fè regleman pou prèt yo ak moun Levi yo. Konsa, chak moun te gen travay pa yo.
31 And for [the] offering of the wood at times appointed and for the first-fruits remember! to me O God my for good.
Mwen bay lè pou yo fè ofrann bwa yo ak ofrann premye grenn ak premye fwi ki mi nan jaden lè rekòt. O Bondye mwen, pa bliye m' tande! Pa bliye se mwen menm ki fè tou sa!
