1 Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

8 Moreover the Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving songs, he and his brothers.
Levit yo te Josué, Binnuï, Kadmiel, Schérébia, Juda, Matthania, ki, avèk frè li yo, te dirije chan remèsiman yo.
9 Also Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, were close to them according to their offices.
Anplis Bakbukia avèk Unni, frè pa yo ki te kanpe anfas yo nan divizyon sèvis yo.
10 Jeshua became the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim became the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib became the father of Joiada,
Josué te vin papa a Jojakim, Jojakim te fè Éliaschib, Éliaschib te fè Jojada,
11 and Joiada became the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan became the father of Jaddua.
Jojada te fè Jonathan e Jonathan te fè Jaddua.
12 In the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers’ households: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Alò, nan tan Jojakim, prèt yo, chèf an tèt lakay zansèt papa yo te pou Seraja, Meraja, e pou Jérémie, Hanania;
13 of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
Pou Esdras, Meschullam; pou Amaria, Jochanan;

22 As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers’ households; also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
Epi pou Levit yo, chèf an tèt lakay papa zansèt pa yo te anrejistre nan jou a Éliaschib yo, Jojada, avèk Jochanan ak Jaddua; konsa yo te sèvi kon prèt nan règn Darius, Perse la.
23 The sons of Levi, heads of fathers’ households, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Fis a Lévi yo, chèf an tèt lakay papa zansèt yo, te anrejistre nan Liv A Kwonik yo jis rive nan tan Jochanan, fis Éliaschib la.
24 The chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers close to them, to praise and give thanks according to the commandment of David the man of God, section next to section.
Chèf an tèt a Levit yo te Haschabia, Schérébia e Josué, fis a Kadmiel la, avèk frè pa yo anfas yo, pou bay lwanj avèk remèsiman, jan sa te preskri pa David, nonm Bondye a, divizyon ki te koresponn ak divizyon.
25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates.
Matthania, Bakbukia, Abdias, Meschullam, Thalmon avèk Akkub, te gadyen pòtay ki te responsab veye depo pòtay yo.
26 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest and scribe.
Sila yo te sèvi nan jou a Jojakim yo, fis a Josué a, fis a Jotsadak la e nan jou a Néhémie yo, gouvènè a, avèk Esdras, prèt la ak skrib.
27 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.
Alò, nan dedikasyon miray Jérusalem nan, yo te chache twouve Levit soti nan tout plas yo pou mennen yo Jérusalem pou yo ta kab selebre dedikasyon an avèk jwa, avèk lwanj kè kontan, avèk chan avèk senbal, ap ak lenstriman a kòd yo.
28 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Konsa, fis a chantè yo te rasanble soti nan distri ki te antoure Jérusalem nan e soti nan vilaj a Netofatyen yo,
29 also from Beth Gilgal and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem.
soti Beth-Guilgal, avèk chan nan Guéba avèk Azmavet, paske chantè yo te fin bati pou kont yo vilaj nan anviwon Jérusalem yo.
30 The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
Prèt yo avèk Levit yo te pirifye tèt yo; anplis, yo te pirifye pèp la, pòt yo avèk miray la.
31 Then I brought the princes of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession. One went on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate;
Konsa, mwen te fè dirijan a Juda yo vin monte sou miray la, e mwen te chwazi de gran gwoup koral premye ki t ap sòti sou bò dwat anlè miray la vè Pòtay Kolin Fimye a.
32 and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah,
Hosée avèk mwatye nan dirijan Juda yo te swiv yo,
33 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
avèk Azaria, Esdras, Meschullam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Juda, Benjamin, Schemaja, avèk Jérémie,
35 and some of the priests’ sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph;
epi kèk nan fis a prèt yo avèk twonpèt yo: Zacharie, fis a Jonathan an, fis a Schemaeja a, fis a Matthania a, fis a Michée a, fis a Zaccur a, fis a Asaph la;
36 and his brothers, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.
avèk fanmi li yo, Schemaeja, Azaneel, Juda ak Hanani, avèk enstriman mizik a David yo, nonm Bondye a. Epi Esdras, skrib la, te ale devan yo.
37 By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of David’s city, at the ascent of the wall, above David’s house, even to the water gate eastward.
Nan Pòtay Sous Bwote a, yo te monte tou dwat sou eskalye lavil David la toupre eskalye miray la anwo lakay David la, pou rive nan Pòtay Dlo a vè lès.
38 The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people on the wall above the tower of the furnaces, even to the wide wall,
Dezyèm koral la te ale vè goch, pandan mwen t ap swiv yo avèk mwatye pèp la sou miray la, anwo Tou Founo yo, rive nan Gran Miray la.
39 and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate; and they stood still in the gate of the guard.
Epi anwo Pòtay Éphraïm nan, kote Pòtay ansyen an, kote Pòtay Pwason an, Fò Hananeel la ak fò a dè Santèn yo, jis rive nan Pòtay Mouton yo; epi yo te rete kanpe nan Pòtay Gad la.
40 So the two companies of those who gave thanks in God’s house stood, and I and the half of the rulers with me;
Epi de koral yo te kanpe nan pozisyon yo lakay Bondye a, e mwen menm tou, avèk mwatye ofisye ki te avè m yo;
41 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
epi prèt yo, Éliakim, Maaséja, Minjamin, Michée, Eljoénaï, Zacharie, Hanania, avèk twonpèt yo;
42 and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
epi Maaséja, Schemaeja, Éléazar, Uzzi, Jochanan, Malkija, Élam ak Ézer. Epi chantè yo te chante avèk Jizrachja, dirijan pa yo a,
43 They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even far away.
Nan jou sa a, yo te ofri gran sakrifis e te rejwi paske Bondye te bay yo gwo lajwa. Fanm yo ak timoun yo tou te rejwi, jiskaske lajwa Jérusalem nan te tande byen lwen.
44 On that day, men were appointed over the rooms for the treasures, for the wave offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them according to the fields of the cities the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who served.
Anplis, nan jou sa a, mesye yo te chwazi kon responsab sou chanm depo yo, kontribisyon yo, premye fwi yo, ak dim yo, pou ranmase yo antre soti nan chan nan vil yo, pòsyon ki te mande pa lalwa a pou prèt ak Levit yo; paske Juda te rejwi de prèt avèk Levit ki te fè sèvis yo.
45 They performed the duty of their God and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.
Paske, yo te ranpli devwa Bondye yo a, avèk sèvis pirifikasyon an, ansanm avèk chantè yo ak gadyen pòtay yo an akò avèk lòd David avèk fis li a, Salomon.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Paske nan jou a David avèk Asaph yo, nan tan ansyen an, te gen dirijan pou chantè yo ak chan adorasyon yo, e kantik remèsiman a Bondye.
47 All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required; and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
Konsa, tout Israël nan jou Zorobabel avèk Néhémie yo te bay pòsyon ki te dwe fèt pou chantè yo avèk gadyen pòtay yo kon chak jou te mande a, e te mete apa pòsyon ki te konsakre a Levit yo; epi Levit yo te mete apa pòsyon ki te konsakre pou fis Aaron yo.
