Nehemiah 11
1 The [Israeli] leaders [and their families] settled in the sacred city, Jerusalem. The other people (cast lots/threw marked stones) to determine which family from each ten families would live in Jerusalem. The other people continued to live in the other towns and cities [in Judea].
Alò, chèf a pèp yo te rete Jérusalem, men rès pèp la te tire osò pou fè youn nan dis Izrayelit andeyò yo vin rete Jérusalem, nan vil sen an, pandan nèf sou dis te rete nan lòt vil yo.
2 Those people [asked God to] bless those who volunteered to [be among the 10% who] moved to Jerusalem.
Pèp la te beni tout mesye ki te pa volonte yo, vin rete Jérusalem yo.
3 [Some of] the priests, [some of] the [other] descendants of Levi, [some of] the temple workers, and the descendants of King Solomon’s servants, and many of the other people lived on their own property in the towns [where their ancestors had lived].
Alò, sila yo se chèf an tèt pwovens ki te vin rete Jérusalem yo; men nan vil a Juda yo, chak moun te rete sou pwòp teren pa l nan vil pa yo—Izrayelit yo, prèt yo, Levit yo, sèvitè tanp yo ak desandan a sèvitè Salomon yo.
4 But some people from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin [decided to] live in Jerusalem. One of them from the tribe of Judah was Athaiah. He was the son of Uzziah, who was the son of Zechariah, who was the son of Amariah, who was the son of Shephatiah, who was the son of Mahalalel, who was a descendant of [Judah’s son] Perez.

20 The other Israeli people including priests and [other] descendants of Levi lived on their own property in other towns and cities in Judea.
Tout lòt Israël, pami prèt yo ak Levit yo te nan lòt vil Juda yo, yo chak sou pwòp eritaj pa yo.
21 But the temple workers lived on Ophel [Hill in Jerusalem]. They were supervised by Ziha and Gishpa.

23 The king [of Persia] had commanded that the clans should decide what each clan should do to lead the music in the temple each day.
Paske te gen lòd ki sòti nan wa a de yo menm, ak yon règ manje pou sila ki te dirije chante yo jou apre jou yo.
24 Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, [who was] from the clan of Zerah and a descendant of Judah, was the ambassador [of the Israelis] to the king of Persia.
Pethachja, fis a Meschézabeel la, nan fis a Zérach yo, fis a Juda a, te reprezante wa a nan tout bagay ki te konsène pèp la.
25 Some of the people [who did not settle in Jerusalem] lived in villages close to their farms. Some from the tribe of Judah lived in villages near Kiriath-Arba, Dibon, and Jekabzeel [cities].
