Neemi 4
1 Lè Sanbala vin konnen nou menm jwif yo nou t'ap rebati miray ranpa a, li fache, li move.
Forsothe it was doon, whanne Sanaballath hadde herd, that we bildiden the wal, he was ful wrooth, and he was stirid greetli, and scornede the Jewis.
2 Li konmanse pase nou nan betiz. Li t'ap di devan moun pa l' yo ak devan sòlda lame peyi Samari a: -Kisa jwif yo konprann y'ap fè la a? Yo ta renmen rebati lavil la. Yo konprann avèk tout bèt y'ap ofri pou touye yo, nan yon jou yo pral fini? Yo mete nan tèt yo avèk demoli ki fin tounen pousyè ak sann dife yo ka fè wòch pou rebati lavil la.
And he seide bifor hise britheren, and the multitude of Samaritans, What doen the feble Jewis? Whether hethene men schulen suffre hem? Whether thei schulen fille, and make sacrifice in o dai? Whether thei moun bilde stonys of the heepis of the dust, that ben brent?
3 Tobija, moun peyi Amon an, te kanpe bò kote Sanbala. Li t'ap di: -Anhan! Y'ap rebati! Kite yon chat mawon vole sou miray wòch yo a, sa kont pou jete l' atè!
But also Tobie Amanytes, his neiybore, seide, Bilde thei; if a fox stieth, he schal `skippe ouer the stony wal `of hem.
4 Lè sa a, mwen menm, Neemi, mwen lapriyè Bondye. Mwen di l': -O Bondye papa nou! Tande jan y'ap pase nou nan betiz! Sa yo ta renmen wè rive nou an, se sa ki pou rive yo! Se yo ki pou wont! Se pou lènmi vin fè yo prizonye epi pou li depòte yo tout nan yon lòt peyi.
And Neemye seide, Oure God, here thou, for we ben maad dispising; turne thou the schenschip on her heed, and yyue thou hem in to dispisyng in the lond of caytifte;
5 Pa padonnen sa yo fè ki mal. Pa janm bliye peche yo fè a, paske yo t'ap pale moun ki t'ap rebati lavil ou a mal.
hile thou not the wickidnesse of hem, and her synnes be not doon awei bifor thi face; for thei scorneden bilderis.
6 Se konsa, nou t'ap rebati ranpa a. Anvan lontan, ranpa a te gen tan rive nan mwatye wotè, paske pèp la te soti pou l' te fè travay la.
Therfor we bildiden the wal, and ioyneden togidere al `til to the half part, and the herte of the puple was exitid to worche.
7 Lè Sanbala ak Tobija ansanm ak moun Arabi yo, moun Amon yo ak moun Achdòd yo tande travay reparasyon miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm yo t'ap mache, epi twou ki te nan miray yo te konmanse bouche, yo fè gwo kòlè, yo fache.
Forsothe it was doon, whanne Sanaballat `hadde herd, and Tobie, and Arabiens, and Amanytys, and men of Azotus hadden herd, that the brekyng of the wal of Jerusalem was stoppid, and that the crasyngis hadden bigunne to be closid togidere, thei weren ful wrothe.
8 Yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou yo vin atake lavil Jerizalèm, pou yo bay pwoblèm.
And alle weren gaderid togidere to come and fiyte ayens Jerusalem, and to caste tresouns.
9 Men, nou lapriyè Bondye nou an, epi nou mete moun ap veye lajounen kou lannwit, pou pwoteje nou.
And we preieden oure Lord God, and we settiden keperis on the wal bi dai and niyt ayens hem.
10 Men, moun peyi Jida yo t'ap plede di: -Nou fin fèb nan pote chay! Gen twòp vye ranblè pou n' netwaye! Nou p'ap janm fin rebati miray sa a!
Forsothe Juda seide, The strengthe of the berere is maad feble, and the erthe is ful myche, and we moun not bilde the wal.
11 Lènmi nou yo menm, bò pa yo, t'ap di: -San yo pa konnen, san yo pa wè anyen, n'ap gen tan nan mitan yo. N'ap masakre yo, n'ap fè travay la sispann.
And oure enemyes seiden, Wite thei not, and knowe thei not, til we comen in to the myddil of hem, and sleen hem, and maken the werk to ceesse.
12 Men, chak fwa lènmi nou yo moute vin atake nou, jwif ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo te vin avèti nou. Konsa konsa, an dis fwa.
Forsothe it was doon, whanne Jewis came, that dwelliden bisidis hem, and seiden to vs `bi ten tymes, fro alle places fro whiche thei camen to vs,
13 Lè konsa, mwen ranje pèp la dèyè ranpa a, chak fanmi apa, avèk nepe yo, frenn yo ak banza yo. Mwen mete yo kote miray la pa t' ankò fini an.
Y ordeynede the puple in ordre, with her swerdis, and speris, and bouwis, in a place bihynde the wal bi cumpas.
14 Lè m' wè pèp la te gen kè sote, mwen leve, mwen pale ak chèf yo ak majistra yo ak tout rès pèp la, mwen di yo: -Nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo! Chonje jan Seyè a gen pouvwa, jan li fè moun pè l'. Ann goumen pou moun menm ras ak nou yo, pou pitit fi nou yo, pou pitit gason nou yo, pou madanm nou yo ak kay nou yo.
Y bihelde, and roos, and seide to the principal men, and magistratis, and to `the tother part of the comyn puple, Nyle ye drede of her face; haue ye mynde of the greet Lord, and ferdful, and fiyte ye for youre britheren, and youre sones, and youre douytris, for youre wyues, and housis.
15 Lè lènmi nou yo wè nou te konnen sa yo t'ap konplote a, yo vin konprann Bondye te soti pou gate plan yo. Apre sa, nou tounen al travay nan miray ranpa a, chak moun bò pa yo.
Forsothe it was doon, whanne oure enemyes hadden herd that it was teld to vs, God distriede her counsel; and alle we turneden ayen to the wallis, ech man to his werk.
16 Depi lè sa a, mwatye nan gason yo al nan travay, lòt mwatye a t'ap veye avèk frenn yo, pwotèj pou bra yo, banza yo ak gwo plak fè sou lestonmak yo pou pwoteje yo. Tout chèf yo te la dèyè pèp Jida a
And it was doon fro that dai, the half part of yonge men made werk, and the half part was redi to batel; `and speris, and scheldis, and bouwis, and harburiouns, and princes aftir hem, in al the hows of men of Juda,
17 ki t'ap rebati ranpa a. Tout moun ki t'ap bwote materyo te gen zam tou. Yo t'ap travay ak yon men, nan lòt men an yo te kenbe zam yo.
bildynge in the wal, and berynge birthuns, and puttynge on; with her oon hond thei maden werk, and with the tother thei helden swerd.
18 Moun ki t'ap travay yo menm te toujou gen yon nepe pase nan ren yo. Nèg ki te konn kònen klewon an te toujou bò kote m'.
For ech of the bilderis was gird with the swerd on the reynes; and thei bildiden, and sowneden with clariouns bisidis me.
19 Mwen di chèf yo, majistra yo ansanm ak tout rès pèp la: -Chantye a se yon gwo chantye. Travay la gaye, kifè nou yonn pa pre lòt sou ranpa a.
And Y seide to the principal men, and magistratis, and to the tothir part of the comyn puple, The werk is greet and brood, and we ben departid fer in the wal, oon from anothir;
20 Depi nou tande klewon an bay siyal la, n'a kouri vin sanble bò kote m'. Bondye nou an va goumen pou nou.
in what euer place ye heren the sown of the trumpe, renne ye togidere thidur to vs; for oure God schal fiyte for vs.
21 Se konsa, chak jou, depi bajou kase jouk zetwal parèt nan syèl la, mwatye nan nou t'ap mennen travay la sou ranpa a, lòt mwatye a t'ap veye avèk zam yo nan men yo.
And we `vs silf schal make the werk, and the half part of vs holde speris, fro `the stiyng of the moreutid til that sterris go out.
22 Nan menm epòk la, mwen pale ak pèp la. Mwen di yo konsa: -Se pou tout moun rete pase nwit lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak domestik yo. Konsa, n'a pase tout nwit la ap veye. Lajounen, n'a travay.
And `in that tyme Y seide to the puple, Ech man with his child dwelle in the myddil of Jerusalem, and whilis be to vs `bi nyyt and dai to worche.
23 Se konsa, lannwit, nou pa janm wete rad sou nou, ni mwen, ni frè parèy mwen yo, ni domestik nou yo, ni gad kò m' yo. Nou tout nou te gen zam nou bò kote nou.
But Y, and my britheren, and my keperis, and children, that weren after me, diden not of oure clothis; ech man was maad nakid oneli to waischyng.
