Ezra 8
1 These [are] now the chief of their fathers, and [this is] the genealogy of them that went 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 Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.

13 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names [are] these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, 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 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.
Outayi, pitit gason Zaboud la, chèf branch fanmi Bigvayi a. Li te gen swasandis gason avè l'.
15 And I assembled them at the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we abode in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
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 Then sent I 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, men of understanding.
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 with commandment to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say to Iddo, [and] to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers 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 And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with 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 Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were 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 I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right 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 require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath [is] against 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 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was 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 twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
Apre sa, mwen chwazi douz moun nan chèf prèt yo: se te Cherebya, Achabya ak dis lòt chèf prèt.
25 And weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, [even] the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his lords, and all Israel [there] 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 to their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents, [and] 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 Also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, 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 And I said to them, Ye [are] holy to the LORD; the vessels [are] holy also; and the silver and the gold [are] a free-will-offering to the LORD 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 ye, and keep [them], until ye weigh [them], before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers 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 So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring [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 departed 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 he 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 abode there three days.
Nou rive lavil Jerizalèm, nou pase twa jou ap poze kò nou.
33 Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them [was] Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the 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 number [and] by weight of every one: 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 [Also] the children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, offered burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats [for] a sin-offering: all [this was] a burnt-offering 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 delivered the king's commissions to the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side of 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.
