1 Men lis prèt ak moun Levi ki te tounen nan peyi a ansanm ak Zowobabèl, pitit gason Chealtyèl la, ak Jozye. Men non prèt yo: Seraja, Jirimeja, Esdras,
Now these [are] the priests and the Levites that went up with Zorobabel the son of Salathiel and Jesus: Saraia, Jeremia, Esdra,

4 Ido, Ginetoyi, Abija,
5 Mijamen, Maadya, Bilga,
6 Chemaja, Jojarib, Jedaja,
7 Salou, Amòk, Ilkija ak Jedaja. Mesye sa yo te chèf prèt yo nan tan Jozye. Ni yo ni prèt yo te soti nan yon sèl fanmi.
These [were] the chiefs of the priests, and their brethren in the days of Jesus.
8 Men non moun Levi yo: Te gen yon premye gwoup ki te reskonsab chante kantik pou di Bondye mèsi. Se te Jozye, Bennwi, Kadmyèl, Cherebya, Jeouda ak Natanya.
And the Levites [were], Jesus, Banui, Cadmiel, Sarabia, Jodae, Matthania: he [was] over the bands,
9 Te gen yon lòt gwoup ki te kanpe anfas yo pou reponn yo lè y'ap chante. Se te Bakboukya, Ouni ak lòt moun Levi menm fanmi ak yo.
and his brethren [were appointed] to the daily courses.
10 Jozye te papa Jojakim, Jojakim te papa Elyachib, Elyachib te papa Jojada,
And Jesus begot Joakim, and Joakim begot Eliasib, and Eliasib [begot] Jodae,
11 Jojada te papa Jonatan, Jonatan te papa Jadwa.
and Jodae begot Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jadu.
12 Lè Jojakim te granprèt, men moun ki te chèf branch fanmi prèt yo: Meraja, chèf branch fanmi Seraja a, Ananya, chèf branch fanmi Jirimeja a,
And in the days of Joakim, his brethren the priests and the heads of families [were, belonging] to Saraia, Amaria; to Jeremia, Anania;
13 Mechoulam, chèf branch fanmi Esdras la, Jokanan, chèf branch fanmi Amarya a,

21 Achabya, chèf branch fanmi Ilkija a, Netaneèl, chèf branch fanmi Jedaja a.
to Elkia, Asabias; to Jedeiu, Nathanael.
22 Pandan tout tan Elyachib, Jodaja, Jokanan ak Jadwa te pase granprèt, yonn apre lòt, yo te enskri non chèf tout fanmi prèt yo ak non moun Levi yo nan gwo rejis ofisyèl tanp lan. Yo te kenbe rejis sa a jouk sou rèy wa Dariyis ki t'ap gouvènen peyi Pès la.
The Levites in the days of Eliasib, Joada, and Joa, and Joanan, and Idua, [were] recorded heads of families: also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
23 Pou branch fanmi Levi yo, yo te enskri nou chèf fanmi yo tou nan gwo rejis ofisyèl la, men lè yo rive sou tan Jokanan, pitit pitit Elyachib la, yo sispann fè sa.
And the sons of Levi, heads of families, [were] written in the book of the chronicles, even to the days of Joanan son of Elisue.
24 Chèf moun Levi yo te Achabya, Jechwa, Bennwi ak Kadmyèl. Yo te separe moun Levi yo an gwoup. De gwoup te kanpe yonn anfas lòt pou chante lwanj Seyè a ak kantik pou di Bondye mèsi, yonn apre lòt, dapre lòd wa David, sèvitè Bondye, te kite a.
And the heads of the Levites [were] Asabia, and Sarabia, and Jesu: and the sons of Cadmiel, and their brethren over against them, were to sing hymns of praise, according to the commandment of David the man of God, course by course.
25 Men non moun ki t'ap sèvi tankou gad pòtay tanp lan: Se te Matanya, Bakboukya, Obadya, Mechoulam, Talmon ak Akoub. Yo te reskonsab veye depo magazen ki te bò pòtay tanp lan.
When I gathered the porters,
26 Moun sa yo t'ap viv nan tan Jojakim, pitit Jozye, pitit pitit Josadak la, te granprèt la, nan tan Neemi t'ap gouvènen an ak nan tan Esdras, prèt ki te direktè lalwa a, tou.
[it was] in the days of Joakim son of Jesus, son of Josedec, and in the days of Neemia: and Esdras the priest [was] scribe.
27 Lè yo tapral fè sèvis benediksyon miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm lan, yo fè chache tout moun Levi yo toupatou kote yo te rete, yo mennen yo lavil Jerizalèm. Yo te vle fè yon gwo fèt pou sèvis benediksyon an ak kè kontan. t'ap gen chante pou di Bondye mèsi, avèk mizik, senbal, gita ak bandjo.
And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep a feast of dedication and gladness with thanksgiving, and they sounded cymbals with songs, and [had] psalteries and harps.
28 Se konsa mizisyen sanba yo, moun branch nan fanmi Levi yo, soti nan tout zòn ki bò lavil Jerizalèm, nan ti bouk ki bò Netofa yo, yo sanble.
And the sons of the singers were assembled both from the neighbourhood round about to Jerusalem, and from the villages,
29 Genyen tou ki te soti lavil Betgilgal ak andeyò Geba ak Azmavèt. Lè sa a, mizisyen yo te rete nan anpil ti bouk yo te bati nan tout zòn bò lavil Jerizalèm lan.
and from the country: for the singers built themselves villages by Jerusalem.
30 Prèt yo ak moun Levi yo fè sèvis pou mete tèt yo, pèp la, pòtay yo ak miray ranpa a nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye.
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and they purified the people, and the porters, and the wall.
31 Mwen fè tout chèf peyi Jida yo moute sou tèt miray ranpa a: Mwen fè de gwoup mizisyen ak moun pou chante pandan y'ap mache sou tèt miray la. Premye gwoup la al sou bò dwat nan direksyon Pòtay Fatra a.
And they brought up the princes of Juda on the wall, and they appointed two great [companies] for thanksgiving, and they passed on the right hand on the wall of the dung-gate.
32 Ozaya t'ap mache dèyè yo ak mwatye nan chèf peyi Jida yo.
And after them went Osaia, and half the princes of Juda,
33 Dèyè yo t'ap mache Azarya, Esdras, Mechoulam,
and Azarias, and Esdras, and Mesollam,
34 Jeouda, Benjamen, Chemaja ak Jirimeja.
and Juda, and Benjamin, and Samaias and Jeremia.
35 Mesye sa yo se prèt yo te chwazi pou kònen twonpèt yo. Dèyè yo t'ap mache Zekarya, pitit Jonatan. Jonatan sa a te pitit Chemaja, Chemaja te pitit Matanya, Matanya te pitit Mika, Mika te pitit Zakou, Zakou te pitit Asaf.
And [some] of the sons of the priest with trumpets, Zacharias son of Jonathan, son of Samaias, son of Matthania, son of Michaia, son of Zacchur, son of Asaph:
36 Zekarya t'ap mache avèk lòt moun menm fanmi avè l' yo. Se te Chemaja, Azareèl, Milalayi, Gilalayi, Maayi, Netaneèl, Jeouda ak Anani. Yo tout yo te gen nan men yo tout kalite enstriman mizik wa David, sèvitè Bondye a, te konn jwe. Se Esdras, direktè lalwa a, ki t'ap mache devan premye gwoup sa a.
and his brethren, Samaia, and Oziel, Gelol, Jama, Aia, Nathanael, and Juda, Anani, to praise with the hymns of David the man of God; and Esdras the scribe [was] before them,
37 Lè yo rive Pòtay Fontenn dlo a, yo moute dwat devan yo, yo pran macheskalye ki mennen nan lavil wa David la, yo pase sou kote palè David la, yo moute sou tèt miray la ankò jouk yo rive Pòtay Dlo yo bò solèy leve.
at the gate, to praise before them, and they went up by the steps of the city of David, in the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water-gate
38 Lòt gwoup la menm al sou bò gòch, sou tèt miray la: Mwen t'ap mache dèyè yo ansanm ak lòt mwatye moun yo. Nou pase bò gwo Fò Fou yo jouk nou rive sou gwo miray laj la.
39 Apre sa, nou pase anwo pòtay Efrayim lan, anwo vye Pòtay la, anwo Pòtay Pwason yo, sou kote Fò Ananeèl ak Fò Meya a jouk nou rive bò Pòtay Mouton yo. Nou rete bò Pòtay Gad Tanp lan.
of Ephraim, and to the fish-gate, and by the tower of Anameel, and as far as the sheep-gate.
40 Se konsa, de gwoup moun yo ki t'ap chante pou di Bondye mèsi a rive nan tanp Bondye a. Mwen te gen avè mwen mwatye nan chèf yo,
41 ansanm ak prèt ki t'ap kònen twonpèt yo: Elyakim, Maaseja, Menjamen, Mika, Elioenayi, Zekarya, Ananya, avèk twonpèt yo nan men yo,
42 ansanm avèk moun k'ap chante yo: Maseja, Chemaja, Eleaza, Ouzi, Jokanan, Malkija, Elam ak Azè. Se Jizraja ki t'ap mennen chante a.
And the singers were heard, and were numbered.
43 Jou sa a, yo te ofri anpil gwo sakrifis pou Bondye. Tout pèp la t'ap fè fèt paske Seyè a te ba yo gwo kè kontan. Tout fanm yo ak tout timoun yo t'ap fete tou. Byen lwen yo te ka tande moun yo ki t'ap fete nan lavil Jerizalèm lan.
And in that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced; for God had made them very joyful: and their wives and their children rejoiced: and the joy in Jerusalem was heard from afar off.
44 Lè sa a, yo chwazi kèk gason yo mete reskonsab chanm depo kote yo te mete pwovizyon yo, ofrann premye grenn ak premye fwi yo ranmase nan chak rekòt yo, ofrann ladim yo ak lòt ofrann pou moun yo fè pou tanp lan: Se mesye sa yo ki te gen pou ale nan tout jaden bò lavil yo, pou ranmase sa lalwa te mande pou bay prèt yo ak moun Levi yo. Tout moun peyi Jida te kontan ak travay moun Levi yo ak prèt yo t'ap yo fè.
And in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the first-fruits, and the tithes, and [for] the chiefs of the cities who were assembled among them, [to furnish] portions for the priests and Levites: for [there was] joy in Juda over the priests and over the Levites that waited.
45 Paske, yo t'ap fè sèvis Bondye yo san mank. Yo t'ap fè sèvis pou mete tout moun ak tout bagay nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Mizisyen yo ak gad pòtay tanp yo tou, tout moun t'ap fè travay yo dapre regleman wa David ak pitit li, wa Salomon, te bay.
And they kept the charges of their God, and the charges of the purification, and [ordered] the singers and the porters, according to the commandments of David and his son Solomon.
46 Depi lontan, sou rèy David, nan tan Asaf te chèf mizisyen yo, te gen yon gwoup mizisyen ki te la pou chante lwanj Bondye ak lòt chante pou di l' mèsi.
For in the days of David Asaph was originally first of the singers, and [they sang] hymns and praise to God.
47 Se konsa, nan tan Zowobabèl ak nan tan Neemi, tout pèp Izrayèl la te pote kado chak jou bay mizisyen yo ak gad pòtay tanp yo. Yo te pote renmèt moun Levi yo ofrann yo te mete apa pou Bondye. Moun Levi yo menm te bay prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo, pòsyon pa yo.
And all Israel in the days of Zorobabel, and in the days of Neemias, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a daily rate: and consecrated them to the Levites: and the Levites consecrated them to the sons of Aaron.
