Neemi 7
1 Lè nou te fin rebati miray la, nou moute gwo batan pòtay yo. Nou bay gad tanp yo, moun k'ap chante yo ak moun Levi yo travay yo gen pou yo fè.
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2 Mwen mete de moun reskonsab pou gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm lan. Se te Anani, frè mwen an, ak Ananya, kòmandan gwo fò a. Ananya sa a te yon nonm serye ki te gen krentif pou Bondye. Pa t' gen tankou l'.
I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
3 Mwen di yo pa kite yo louvri pòtay lavil Jerizalèm yo nan maten toutotan solèy la pa konmanse cho. Konsa tou, aswè se devan yo pou yo fè fèmen batan pòtay yo epi pou yo mete ba yo dèyè pòtay yo anvan gad yo leve pòs le solèy pral kouche. Y'a chwazi kèk moun nan moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo, yon seri pou fè pòs sou miray la, yon lòt pou fè patwouy bò lakay yo.
I said to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house.”
4 Lavil la te gran anpil, te gen anpil espas, men pa t' gen anpil moun ki t'ap viv ladan l'. Yo pa t' ankò rebati anpil kay.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5 Bondye mete nan tèt mwen lide pou m' sanble tout pèp la ak chèf yo, majistra yo, pou m' fè yon resansman, fanmi pa fanmi. N' al tonbe sou ansyen rejis resansman premye moun ki te tounen nan peyi a. Nan rejis sa a m' te jwenn
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:
6 lis moun ki te kite pwovens Babilòn pou yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida, chak moun nan lavil kote yo te moun. Se moun sa yo wa Nèbikadneza te fè depòte nan peyi Babilòn.
These are the children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city,
