1 Istwa 9

1 Se konsa yo te make non tout moun pep Izrayèl yo dapre fanmi yo nan liv wa Izrayèl yo. Yo te depòte moun peyi Jida yo lavil Babilòn paske yo pa t' fè volonte Bondye.

And all Israel have reckoned themselves by genealogy, and lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah — they were removed to Babylon for their trespass.

2 Premye moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki te tounen vin rete sou tè yo ak nan lavil yo se te prèt yo, moun Levi yo ak moun k'ap travay nan Tanp lan.

And the first inhabitants, who [are] in their possession, in their cities, of Israel, [are] the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.

3 Se lavil Jerizalèm moun nan branch fanmi Jida, moun nan branch fanmi Benjamen, moun nan branch fanmi Efrayim ak moun nan branch fanmi Manase, yo tout al rete.

And in Jerusalem dwelt of the sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin, and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh:

4 Nan moun Jida yo te gen Outayi, pitit gason Amiyoud. Amiyoub sa a te pitit Omri, Omri te pitit Imri, Imri te pitit gason Bani, Bani te soti nan fanmi Perèz, pitit Jida.

9 Sa te fè antou nèfsansenkannsis (956) moun nan fanmi Benjamen an ki te rete lavil Jerizalèm. Yo tout te chèf fanmi yo.

And their brethren, according to their generations, [are] nine hundred and fifty and six. All these [are] men, heads of fathers, according to the house of their fathers.

10 Men prèt ki t'ap viv nan lavil la. Te gen Jedaja, Jeojarib, Jaken,

And of the priests: Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,

11 Azarya, pitit Ilkija. Ilkija sa a te pitit Mechoulam, Mechoulam te pitit Zadòk, Zadòk te pitit Merajòt, Merajòt te pitit Achitoub. Se li menm Achitoub sa a ki te chèf nan tanp Bondye a.

and Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, leader in the house of God;

12 Lèfini, te gen Adaja, pitit gason Jeworam. Jeworam sa a te pitit Pachou ki te pitit Malkija. Te gen ankò Masayi, pitit Adyèl. Adyèl sa a te pitit Jazera, Jazera te pitit Mechoulam, Mechoulam te pitit Mechilemit, Mechilemit te pitit Ime.

and Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer.

13 Prèt sa yo ak fanmi yo te fè antou milsètsanswasant (1.760) moun ki te chèf fanmi, vanyan gason ki te bon pou sèvis kay Bondye a.

And their brethren, heads to the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty, mighty in valour, [are] for the work of the service of the house of God.

14 Men moun Levi ki te rete nan lavil la. Te gen Chemaja, pitit gason Achoub. Achoub sa a te pitit Azrikam, Azrikam te pitit Achabya, nan branch fanmi Merari a.

And of the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hashshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

17 Men gad ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay Tanp lan. Se te Chaloum, Akoub, Talmon, Akiman ak lòt fanmi yo. Se Chaloum ki te chèf yo.

And the gatekeepers [are] Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren — Shallum [is] the head;

18 Jouk jounen jòdi a se yo k'ap fè pòs nan Pòtay Wa ki bay sou bò solèy leve a, kote pou wa a pase a. Nan tan lontan, se yo menm ki te konn fè pòs nan Pòtay Kay moun Levi yo.

and hitherto they [are] at the gate of the king eastward; they [are] the gatekeepers for the companies of the sons of Levi.

19 Chaloum, pitit Kore, pitit pitit Ebyazaf nan branch fanmi Kore a, ansanm ak lòt moun nan fanmi Kore a te reskonsab veye pòtay pou antre nan kote ki apa pou Seyè a, tankou zansèt yo te fè l' anvan sa lè yo t'ap veye Pòtay kan Seyè a.

And Shallum son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, [are] over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, and their fathers [are] over the camp of Jehovah, keepers of the entrance;

20 Yon lè se Fineas, pitit Eleaza a, ki te chèf yo. Seyè a te toujou kanpe avè l'.

and Phinehas son of Eleazar hath been leader over them formerly; Jehovah [is] with him.

21 Zakari, pitit Mechelemya, te gad nan pòtay Tant Randevou a tou.

22 Antou te gen desandouz (212) gason yo te chwazi pou fè pòs nan pòtay tanp lan, dapre liv rejis fanmi yo nan ti bouk kote yo moun. Se wa David ak pwofèt Samyèl ki te bay zansèt yo reskonsablite sa a pou tout tan.

All of those who are chosen for gatekeepers at the thresholds [are] two hundred and twelve; they [are] in their villages, by their genealogy; they whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office.

23 Se konsa, yo menm ak pitit yo yo toujou ap fè pòs nan pòtay Tanp lan, nan pòtay Tant Randevou a.

And they and their sons [are] over the gates of the house of Jehovah, even of the house of the tent, by watches.

24 Te gen kat pòtay ki te bay sou kat bòn direksyon yo: lès, lwès, nò ak sid. Pou chak pòtay te gen yon chèf gad.

At four sides are the gatekeepers, east, west, north, and south.

25 Fanmi yo ki te rete nan ti bouk yo te vin ede yo nan travay la pandan sèt jou, yonn apre lòt.

And their brethren in their villages [are] to come in for seven days from time to time with these.

26 Men, kat chèf gad yo te toujou la desèvis. Se moun fanmi Levi yo te ye. Se yo ki te reskonsab tout pyès chanm ansanm ak tout trezò ki te la nan Tanp lan.

For in office [are] the four chiefs of the gatekeepers, they are Levites, and they have been over the chambers, and over the treasuries of the house of God,

27 Yo te rete pase nwit yo toupre Tanp lan, paske se yo ki te reskonsab veye l'. Lèfini, chak maten se yo ki pou te louvri pòtay yo.

and round about the house of God they lodge, for on them [is] the watch, and they [are] over the opening, even morning by morning.

28 Te gen lòt moun Levi ki te reskonsab tout veso yo sèvi pou fè seremoni yo. Se pou yo te kontwole yo ni anvan ni apre chak seremoni yo.

And [some] of them [are] over the vessels of service, for by number they bring them in, and by number they take them out.

29 Te gen lòt moun Levi ki te reskonsab tout rès bagay ki te nan Tanp lan ansanm ak farin frans, diven, lwil oliv, lansan ak odè yo.

And [some] of them are appointed over the vessels, even over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

30 Men, se prèt yo ki te reskonsab pare odè yo.

And [some] of the sons of the priests are mixing the mixture for spices.

31 Se yon moun Levi yo te rele Matitya, premye pitit Chaloum nan fanmi Kore a, ki te toujou reskonsab fè gato pou ofrann yo.

And Mattithiah, of the Levites (he [is] the first-born to Shallum the Korahite), [is] in office over the work of the pans.

32 Lòt moun Levi nan fanmi Keyat la te reskonsab pare pen pou yo te mete chak jou repo nan Tanp lan.

And of the sons of the Kohathite, [some] of their brethren [are] over the bread of the arrangement, to prepare [it] sabbath by sabbath.

33 Genyen nan fanmi Levi yo ki te sanba. Chèf fanmi sa yo te viv nan pyès chanm ki te nan Tanp lan. Yo pa t' gen lòt okipasyon pase lajounen kou lannwit yo t'ap fè travay yo.

And these who sing, heads of fathers of the Levites, in the chambers, [are] free, for by day and by night [they are] over them in the work.

34 Tout mesye sa yo te chèf fanmi moun Levi yo, dapre zansèt yo rive jòdi a. Yo te rete lavil Jerizalèm.

These heads of the fathers of the Levites throughout their generations [are] heads. These have dwelt in Jerusalem.

35 Jeyèl te bati lavil Gabawon kote li te rete. Madanm li te rele Maaka.

And in Gibeon dwelt hath the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, and the name of his wife [is] Maachah;
